The Hyuga clan leader hadn't expected the other party to be so generous. In terms of merit in this war, the Uchiha clan naturally deserved the lion's share. Although the Hyuga clan also played a role, they couldn't possibly claim 40% of the credit.
After all, the three top ninjas of Kumogakure and a large number of other ninjas were all captured by Uchiha Ryosuke.
But that's not actually what he wanted to talk about.
He shook his head and said.
"What I meant was, should we also give a portion of this ransom to the village?"
According to custom, the Uchiha and Hyuga clans would keep a portion of the spoils obtained through war, while the rest would be handed over to the village.
Fugaku was very unhappy when he heard this, not because he was unhappy with the Hyuga clan, but because he was unhappy with the village.
According to convention, winning a war does indeed require handing over a portion of the spoils.
Then redistribute.
However, this made him feel very uncomfortable, because this was all thanks to the two clans, and the Konoha leadership did not even send anyone to assist.
If they had sent people to participate in the war, then it would be reasonable to share some of the spoils, but there really wasn't a single person.
The way the Konoha leadership treated his Uchiha clan was infuriating.
Chapter 108 The village shouldn't even think about getting a share of his money.
Uchiha Ryosuke also had a serious face at this moment. It was impossible for the village to take a share of his money.
He spoke coldly.
“How could the head of the Hyuga clan say such a thing? This war was a victory won by the Hyuga and Uchiha clans with their lives on the line. The village did not contribute a single penny. I will not give them a single penny of this money.”
Fugaku also completely agreed.
"Yes, that's right, I agree with this idea."
"No way you're getting a share of the money."
Hiashi Hyuga understood the two men's firm opinions and began to think about it carefully.
This is a huge fortune. If a portion of it is given to the village, the Hyuga clan will lose a lot of money. More importantly, the Konoha leadership has made the Hyuga clan somewhat disheartened and disappointed.
Although the village leadership and the Uchiha clan are at odds, this battle is a major event concerning the entire village and the very survival of the Hyuga clan. Yet, the Konoha leadership disregards their lives and insists on sending both clans into battle.
This is not only aimed at the Uchiha clan, but also at their Hyuga clan.
If things go wrong, the Hyuga clan could suffer a severe blow.
Since they won't help the Hyuga clan, then the Hyuga clan has no obligation to give the village anything in return.
Although doing so would mean a confrontation between the Hyuga clan and the Konoha leadership, it didn't matter.
With the Uchiha clan being so strong, and with the Uchiha clan fighting against Konoha, the Hyuga clan wasn't under as much pressure.
Thinking of this, he also said...
"Ryosuke, I agree with your opinion, but let's say the Hyuga clan takes 20% of the profits."
As members of the Hyuga clan, they still possess their own pride.
Those who don't know the details might think that the Hyuga clan should indeed receive 40% or even 50% of the profits from the alliance between the two clans, but only those who know the inside story know the truth.
The Hyuga clan, based on their battle merits, can only receive a maximum of 20%.
Two-tenths is a large enough number. Add to that the two hundred million ryo that the Hidden Cloud Village has to pay in compensation, and the Hyuga clan has reaped a huge harvest this time.
With so much money supporting them, the family's power will grow even stronger, and the ninjas will be trained even better.
After this battle, the Hyuga clan will definitely have the resources to become a renowned and powerful clan in the ninja world in the next few years.
Fugaku was overjoyed to hear that Hyuga Hiashi had agreed.
It seems that the head of the Hyuga clan is quite sensible and will not submit to the Konoha leadership. Thinking back to my own past submission to the Konoha leadership, I feel a bit aggrieved.
However, this is not his fault. You have to understand that before Ryosuke appeared out of nowhere, he was the only one in the Uchiha clan who could withstand the pressure from the Konoha leadership, which was quite remarkable for him.
But now that Ryosuke is here, everything is different. Even if Liang Jie wants to challenge the Konoha leadership, Fugaku Uchiha will act decisively and charge forward.
When Ryosuke saw that Hyuga Hiashi only accepted 20%, he felt that this 20% was what Hyuga Hiashi deserved and did not show any consideration from the Uchiha clan. He immediately disagreed.
"The Hyuga clan mainly felt that four floors were too high, so they decided to divide it into three floors. The Hyuga clan also contributed; their Byakugan's reconnaissance ability saved us from being ambushed by the enemy."
"Furthermore, the Hyuga clan also suffered casualties on the battlefield. It is hoped that the head of the Hyuga clan can use the ransom money to comfort the wounded and provide relief to the families of the victims."
He has to give some of that money today, otherwise the Hyuga clan might continue to act as a neutral party in the future.
Although he could use force to wipe out the Konoha leadership, that method was too brutal. What he wanted was a Konoha village that belonged entirely to the Uchiha clan.
This would inevitably require the support of other families.
Even Fugaku, who was standing to the side, didn't understand why Uchiha Ryosuke would give the Hyuga clan such a sum of money, since 10% of it was a terrifying 600 million ryo.
But now he unconditionally supports Uchiha Ryosuke, and chimed in.
“Ryosuke, you’re right. This money is rightfully the Hyuga clan’s.”
Seeing that both of them were so determined, Hiashi Hyuga had no choice but to agree.
“Alright, then my Hyuga clan will accept 3%.”
Indeed, many of our clansmen were injured or killed in this war. With this money, we can be more generous in comforting our clansmen and providing relief to the families of those who died in the war.
He's starting to feel a bit grateful to Uchiha Fu and Ryosuke.
Compared to the disheartening actions of the Konoha leadership, the Uchiha clan was undoubtedly more considerate.
How come he never realized before that the Uchiha clan were such kind people?
Ryosuke was overjoyed to see that the other party had accepted.
After taking his money, he probably won't side with the Konoha higher-ups anymore, right?
Ryosuke, wanting the Fourth Raikage to obediently hand over the money, came up with a plan and looked at the head of the Hyuga family.
"If we want the Fourth Raikage to accept these somewhat harsh conditions, the head of the Hikaru clan will have to play the villain properly."
Hiashi Hyuga paused for a moment, then understood what the other party meant.
He'll play the villain, while Ryosuke will play the hero.
He had no good impression of Kumogakure and wanted to give them a good thrashing, so he readily agreed to Ryosuke's idea.
After a thorough discussion, they sent someone to bring the Fourth Raikage over.
At this moment, the Fourth Raikage was bound in all sorts of ways.
Looking at the ninjas from his village around him, he felt extremely ashamed.
His incompetence led to the complete annihilation of all the ninjas in his village, including the two-tailed and eight-tailed beasts.
I don't know what will happen to them.
If they all perish here, Kumogakure won't just be severely weakened, but will be facing a life-or-death crisis. Those bastards from Iwagakure will definitely not show any mercy, since the two sides are sworn enemies, and the other side will surely take this opportunity to launch a large-scale attack on Kumogakure.
At that time, Cloud Village will probably be like a thatched hut in the wind and rain, and may fall apart at any moment.
At this moment, several Uchiha clan members came to the bound Fourth Raikage and carried him directly to the main camp.
The Fourth Raikage's expression was grim. Looking at the three people in front of him, he spoke first.
"Tell me, what are your plans for dealing with us in Konoha?"
This is what he cares about most right now.
If possible, he is willing to pay substantial compensation in exchange for the safety of the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas.
In this way, the Hidden Cloud Village finally found a way to survive.
It is not because of this mistake that it launched a war that it is now facing a life-or-death situation.
Chapter 109 Traitor
The three noticed that the Fourth Raikage immediately inquired about the fate of their Hidden Cloud Village ninjas, indicating that he was quite concerned about their lives.
This was exactly what they wanted.
Ryosuke Uchiha spoke first.
"Clan head, Hyuga clan leader, what are your thoughts on how to deal with the people of Kumogakure?"
The head of the Hyuga family spoke first, his voice cold.
"This war was started by the Hidden Cloud Village. Some members of the Hyuga and Uchiha clans have been killed. I suggest that these guys be executed to avenge our two clans."
In reality, the number of people who died was very small, and even the number of people who were injured was quite small.
The Fourth Raikage was immediately taken aback. These were the people he had brought out; if they all died here...
With most of its elites lost, Kumogakure will likely find itself in a very difficult situation.
He immediately said in a sincere manner.
"This is all the fault of Kumogakure. We hope to compensate your village and hope that your village can let us off the hook."
Even when you're under someone's roof, you don't have to bow your head. Now is not the time to act impulsively.
Seeing that the Fourth Raikage intended to offer compensation, Ryosuke spoke slowly.
"So what kind of compensation is your Hidden Cloud Village willing to provide?"
