Finally, he sighed, "I understand, Lord Owl, Danzo. In this negotiation, I will do my best to obtain resources and compensation for our Konoha!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.

Yes, he was obsessed. What was a Hokage? He was a leader fighting for the interests of the Land of Fire and Konoha Village. If he couldn't do this basic thing, what kind of Hokage was he? How could he even surpass his predecessors?

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were shining. He slowly stood up and said, "Danzo, Owl Lord, thank you for teaching me a lesson!"

After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen bowed and saluted. Uchiha Owl and Tsunade quickly returned the salute. Shimura Danzo said proudly, "It should have been done long ago!"

But Sarutobi Hiruzen was not angry, instead he punched Danzo in the chest and said, "You bastard!"

Danzo Shimura snorted coldly and ignored him. "I'm so angry, humph!"

Chapter 81 Negotiations Begin

After that, several people dispersed and began to walk towards their tents. Nara Deer Calling, Akimichi Takefeng, and the sea of ​​clouds in the mountains hurriedly came to greet them.

Nara Shikaku said, "How is it, Owl Lord? What does the Hokage say?"

Uchiha Xiao smiled and then said, "Done!"

Tsunade snorted coldly, "This time, the Owl Lord took great pains to persuade the Hokage!"

"My sister-in-law is right. You have worked hard, Lord Xiao. This time when you return to the village, I will treat you all. Let's all come to my barbecue restaurant and eat as much as we can! Drinks are free!" Qiu Dao Qufeng laughed.

Nara Luming also nodded and said, "As it should be. Thanks to Lord Xiao, we can get what we deserve."

Shan Zhongyunhai also nodded and said, "That's right, Lord Xiao, this time it's all thanks to you, otherwise I really don't understand why we had to fight this battle!"

Uchiha Xiao waved his hand and said, "No, we Uchiha have also lost many people. Telling this to the Hokage is also for our own sake."

Nara Luming shook his head. "It's different. The rest of us are afraid and want to protect ourselves, but Lord Xiao is willing to speak up for the entire village. Speaking of this, I, Nara Luming, admire Lord Xiao very much."

He knew that this persuasion was very risky. If it failed, the Hokage might bear a grudge against him and leave a bad impression on him. Therefore, he chose to protect himself.

"Okay, Lu Ming, what do you mean by saying this? Have you forgotten that Uchiha and Ino-Shika-Cho are already allies? We prosper and suffer together, don't we?" Uchiha Xiao smiled gently.

Nara Rokumei was stunned. He keenly felt that Uchiha Owl's "prosperity and adversity together" had a deep meaning.

What he meant was that the Uchiha and Ino-Shika-Cho were now on the same boat, even if they were not from the Hokage lineage...

His eyes lit up and he looked at Uchiha Owl, and suddenly thought to himself that if Owl was the Hokage... Suddenly, Nara Shikaku's face turned pale and he cut off the idea.

However, once a thought arises, no matter how hard you try to avoid it, it will always appear.

Qiu Dao Qu Feng smiled and said, "Xiao Jun, you are right, we are in the same group!"

Yamanaka Yunhai nodded in support. Nara Luming saw this and sighed, "It's really troublesome. However, Qufeng is right, Lord Xiao, we are on the same side with you."

Uchiha Xiao laughed, and he laughed very happily. "Okay, that's it. When everything is over, Tsunade and I will slaughter you hard, Brother Qufeng."

"Okay, come when the time comes. If you have the ability, eat me out of money!" Qiu Dao Qufeng patted his chest and said.

They chatted for a while, and seeing that the time was almost up, Uchiha Owl and Tsunade put on the Konoha Village guard uniforms and went to Sarutobi Hiruzen's tent together.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, wearing a black combat uniform, and Shimura Danzo, who was wearing a military uniform, came out of the tent.

Danzo Shimura nodded to Uchiha Owl, and Uchiha Owl also responded to him. Danzo Shimura meant, don't worry, I will help you deal with the Hokage.

Uchiha Owl thanked Lord Danzo.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile, "Let's go, everyone (Mina-san), let's go meet the top leaders of the Sand Village and make a killing from them!"

"Yes" x3, the three responded, walked behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the four of them went to a negotiation house on the border together.

The major families of Konoha watched them leave until their figures disappeared.

Arrived at the border negotiation office

There was an earthen building there, which looked like an inn, but at the moment there were only Ye Cang, Chiyo, Ebizo and Lin in the inn.

As for Rasa? Oh, Chiyo told him to go back and guard the house because the village was still in danger, and she left him alone.

High emotional intelligence: guarding the home.

Low emotional intelligence: kicked out of the high-level circle.

Sarutobi Hiruzen came to the post station with Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Owl, and Tsunade.

Why didn't you bring any other ninjas? Are you afraid of Owl's Susanoo?

If you dare to make a move, Xiao alone can destroy you! This is the benefit of being powerful!

Chiyo also understood this, so she did not bring any other ninjas with her. She felt a little emotional in her heart that if you have the power, you can really do whatever you want.

Konoha was so lucky. First, two powerful warriors, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, suppressed the Four Kingdoms. Later, Uchiha Owl was the one who killed a thousand people. Why didn't the Sand Village have such a strong warrior?

Boom boom boom!

There was a knock on the door of the post station. Chiyo narrowed her eyes and said, "Here I come!" Ye Cang was about to open the door, but Chiyo said, "I'll come in person!"

She stood up and walked towards the door tremblingly. She deliberately acted like a weak person to arouse the sympathy of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, so that the Sand Village would have to pay less compensation.

I have to say that if Sarutobi Hiruzen had not listened to Uchiha Owl's advice, he might have really been moved by compassion and agreed that the Sand Village would not have to pay compensation.

But now, hehe...

Chiyo opened the door and saw Sarutobi Hiruzen at first sight. Then she set her gaze on Uchiha Owl behind him. A trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

However, as a high-ranking official in Sunagakure for so many years, she was still able to remain calm and composed. She then smiled and said, "Alas, Hokage-sama, I am old and my legs are not in good condition. Please forgive me."

She opened the door and motioned for them to come in. Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything, but nodded. This scene made Chiyo a little confused. Did she fail to show weakness?

She sighed, then straightened her back and stopped pretending. It was useless!

The group walked to the table, Chiyo asked Ye Cang and Lin to pour tea for everyone, and then planned to sit in the main seat.

At this moment, Uchiha Xiao smiled and said, "Hokage-sama, let me help you sit down." After that, Uchiha Xiao helped the Hokage sit in the main seat.

Chiyo's face turned pale. Uchiha Owl's eyes turned into three magatama, and then into a wheel-shaped six-magatama Mangekyo. Chiyo lowered her head and sat in the guest seat opposite Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything, but closed his eyes and waited for Chiyo to speak.

The other six people stood face to face, Uchiha Owl against Lin, Tsunade against Ye Cang, and Shimura Danzo against Ebizo.

Negotiations begin

Ye Cang first poured a cup of tea for Naruto, and then poured a cup of tea for Chiyo. Then he stood opposite Tsunade and behind Chiyo.

If eight people remain silent, the party who speaks first in the negotiation will be the one who loses patience and will be at a disadvantage in the negotiation.

Time passed by minute by minute. Konoha Village was confident and didn't care about this little time, but the Sand Village was not like that. After hesitating for a moment, Chiyo finally spoke.

"Respected Hokage, how about we discuss the post-war agreement?" Chiyo asked.

Sarutobi Hiruzen hummed and was not about to say anything else. After all, he still knew some negotiation skills.

Chiyo sighed and took out a written agreement and handed it to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't look at it at first and handed it to Uchiha Owl.

Uchiha Xiao took it with both hands, then opened it and saw something. He looked at Chiyo with a strange look in his eyes. Chiyo looked a little unnatural and took a sip of tea from the cup.

Chapter 82 Chiyo's Heart is Depressed

It said that the Sand Village is willing to accept Konoha as its leader and establish friendly relations with Konoha...

There was no mention of specific compensation, it was all empty promises. Uchiha Xiao was speechless, while Chiyo sat there, trying hard to suppress her embarrassment.

There was no other way. The Sand Village was poor and had a fiscal deficit. They were just waiting for this war to make a fortune from the Rain Country. Who knew that Lao Liu would sneak into the city while they were fighting and take the spoils of war.

Their Sand Village was completely defeated, otherwise the Third Kazekage would not have led everyone to attack Konoha. Internal and financial conflicts had reached an unmanageable level.

War is the best way to divert internal conflicts and unify them to face the outside world. In other words, this war has to be fought, but what they didn't expect was that they were defeated so miserably. The savings and ninjas of the first two generations of Sand Village were almost completely destroyed by the Third Kazekage.

Therefore, for the Sand Village today, only a peace agreement and submission can guarantee the safety of their own village.

But you, Chiyo, don’t want to make any effort at all, you just want to get something for nothing, isn’t that inappropriate?

Uchiha Owl handed the peace agreement to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo. Sarutobi Hiruzen was tempted for a moment, but when he saw that Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Owl and Tsunade were all staring at him, he sighed.

"Chiyo, we are not satisfied with the agreement you gave us. Why don't you take a look at the agreement we offered." Sarutobi Hiruzen said firmly.

Then, Chiyo's heart skipped a beat, but on the surface she said, "No problem, after all, it needs to be discussed." She said with an ugly smile.

Sarutobi Hiruzen gave Uchiha Owl a wink, and Uchiha Owl quickly took out the agreement he had drafted in advance and handed it to Chiyo.

"Lord Chiyo, please think carefully." As he spoke, Uchiha Owl's Mangekyō Sharingan opened, and he stood in front of everyone, scanning them.

A surge of mental pressure instantly made Chiyo and the other three break out in cold sweats. Damn, the Mangekyō Sharingan is so amazing!

Hey, the Mangekyō Sharingan is really amazing now! The golden-red Susanoo, can you Chiyo withstand it, or can Ye Cang withstand it?

Thanks to the existence of the little immortal body, Uchiha Owl's previously lost pupil power has been mostly recovered, and his vision has returned to normal.

Chiyo swallowed and then opened the agreement

1. The Sand Village must compensate us with million taels of silver.

2. The Sand Village gave 50% of the tasks to the Konoha ninjas.

3. The Sand Village limits the number of ninjas to no more than .

4. If the Sand Village cannot consciously fulfill the above agreement, we, the Leaf Village, do not mind stationing troops to protect the safety of the Sand Village...

Boom! Chiyo's head seemed to explode. What kind of unfair clause was this?

The first one has already made them bleed heavily, two hundred million taels of silver, my God, it is impossible even if they sell the entire Sand Village!

The second one is about giving up 50% of the tasks. Are you kidding me? Will that still allow our village to survive?

The third rule limits the number of ninjas. Are you a devil? Just one punch will destroy the Sand Village. There is no chance of recovery!

The fourth point is about garrisoning troops. It is impossible to garrison troops. By then, will the Sand Village be named Wind or Fire? Not to mention that they will not agree, even the Daimyo of the Wind Country cannot agree.

Chiyo was silent for a long moment, then she trembled and said, "I'm sorry, I can't agree to your country's conditions. First, second, we don't have that much money. Third, fourth, we violate the rules set by your First Hokage, Senju Hashirama."

"Is this appropriate?" Chiyo felt disheartened. If you fall behind, you will be beaten. If the Sand Village still had its foundation, she would have thrown the agreement in Uchiha Owl's face. Are you still a human being?

"In that case, how much compensation do you think Elder Chiyo should pay?" Shimura Danzo said fiercely, making Ye Cang grit his teeth.

Chiyo pondered, then she closed her eyes and sighed, "One hundred million taels of silver, to be repaid in three years, fifty million in the first year, thirty million in the second year, and twenty million in the final year. As for the mission, we can only give up 15%."

Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table and said, "Okay! Sure!" Then he said with a smile, "I am also responsible for the villagers and the dead ninja, so I have no choice but to accept this compensation. I hope Elder Chiyo will understand!"

Chiyo smiled bitterly and said, "As I should, as I should." Then she looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Then the third and fourth..."

At this time, Uchiha Xiao said, "Since Elder Chiyo is so generous, we will not care about the third and fourth points. After all, we still have to respect the wishes of our ancestors."
