Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

The elders all waited for the Raikage to speak.

The Raikage shook himself out of his thoughts and nodded, "Yeah."

"In the war with Konoha, our Cloud Village is not the loser!"

The elder was already very old, but his voice was so loud that it made the chandelier in the conference room sway.

"Muye must show some sincerity!"

The elder said dissatisfiedly.

The Raikage thought so too.

After fighting with Konoha for so long and gaining nothing, we must take advantage of the peace talks to make some money back.

Ma Buyi, who had been standing behind the Raikage and recording the meeting proceedings, suddenly put down her pen. She clutched her notebook and suggested to the Raikage and the other elders:

"We can first draft a peace agreement and include some conditions that are beneficial to the Hidden Cloud Village to test Konoha's attitude."

Elder Baizhai was smoking, with smoke lingering around her. Her face was blurred in the smoke, but her voice was very cold: "My daughter died at the hands of the Hyuga clan ninjas. I want them to pay with their lives!"

"The Hyuga clan..."

Elder Lei Xinyuan's fingers, covered with age spots, tapped lightly on the table. His eyes gleamed with brilliance as he slowly said, "When I think of the Hyuga clan, I think of a ninja."

"Who?"

An elder asked.

"Ao from the Hidden Mist Village."

There was a strange smile on the corner of Elder Lei Xinyuan's mouth.

Elder Bai Zhai suddenly felt as if her Ren and Du meridians were opened, and ideas kept pouring out. She sneered and said, "If Qing from the Hidden Mist Village can dig out the Byakugan from the Hyuga ninja, then why can't we?"

Elder Baizhai immediately looked at the Raikage and continued, "After Qing from the Hidden Mist Village obtained the Byakugan, he repeatedly played an important role on the battlefields of the Hidden Mist Village. If we had a Byakugan ninja, wouldn't that be even more powerful?"

There was seduction in her low voice.

Ma Buyi's pupils moved slightly, and an idea formed in his mind.

"Lord Raikage, according to the information sent back by the intelligence ninja, the main family of the Hyuga clan currently has a two-year-old eldest daughter."

"We can set the date for signing the peace treaty with Konoha on the third birthday of the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan."

"By then, the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village will be heading to Konoha to sign a peace treaty. The Hyuga clan will be celebrating Konoha's peace and the eldest lady's birthday, so their vigilance will be much lower than usual."

"The ninja we send to Konoha can take advantage of this opportunity to kidnap the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan."

As soon as Ma Buyi finished speaking, an elder couldn't wait to refute: "What if the Hyuga clan finds out?"

A cold light flashed in Ma Buyi's eyes: "Then take poison and commit suicide, and blame the death of the Kumogakure ninja on the Hyuga clan, and force Konoha to give an explanation, and let Konoha give compensation with the Byakugan."

Elder Lei Xinyuan looked at Ma Buyi and said, "What if the Hokage doesn't agree?"

Ma Buyi frowned, a thought flashed through her eyes, and soon her brows relaxed:

"The villagers of Konoha are ready to welcome peace, but because the Hyuga clan killed our ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village, the war may continue. Even if the Hokage disagrees, the Hyuga clan will surrender because they can't bear the pressure from the village."

Chapter 206 Don’t worry!!!

The eagle landed on the windowsill of the Hokage's office from high above.

The Anbu ninja handed the scroll tied to the eagle's leg to Sarutobi Hiruzen with both hands.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took the scroll, his fingers rubbing over the lightning patterns on its surface, his brows slightly furrowed.

Suddenly, a loud thunder passed by the window.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked out the window.

The strong wind brought raindrops into the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and walked to the windowsill. The originally clear sky suddenly began to rain heavily without any warning.

The heavy rain quickly washed away the Hokage Rock, making it blurred in Sarutobi Hiruzen's sight.

Pedestrians on the street were dodging in panic.

Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a deep breath, and felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart.

He slowly opened the scroll, and the words on the scroll reflected in Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he gripped the scroll with increasing strength, veins popping out on the back of his hand.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and threw the scroll on the table.

He waved to the Anbu in the dark.

Soon, the figure of the Anbu ninja half-knelt in front of him.

"Go and notify the senior elders and clan leaders to hold a meeting in the meeting hall."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice echoed in the cool rain and mist.

"Yes."

……

The meeting room of the Hokage Building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat alone at the head of the council chamber, the elders and clan leaders had not yet arrived.

He didn't smoke the pipe in his hand for a long time, and clouds of smoke rose from the pipe.

squeak-

The door of the meeting room was pushed open.

A group of elders and clan leaders pushed the door open and walked in.

As they entered the meeting room, the wind tore apart the smoke rising from Sarutobi Hiruzen's pipe.

"Lord Hokage..."

As soon as the clan leaders started to speak, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand towards them solemnly and said, "Sit down, everyone."

The clan leaders of each tribe looked for a place to sit down, their hearts trembling, knowing that this matter must be no simple matter, otherwise the Hokage would not have such an expression.

"This is the peace agreement sent by the Hidden Cloud Village. Take a look at it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen unfolded the scroll in his hand and placed it on the long table in the meeting room.

The elders and clan leaders stood up, confused, and went to read the contents of the scroll.

I had to take a look at this, and as soon as I saw it, I clenched my teeth.

When Mitomon En saw the clause that "In order to compensate the Hidden Cloud Village for the loss of resources during the war, Konoha must cede the iron mines on the border of the Land of Fire", he could no longer control his expression. Not only that, he also heard the crisp sound of popping beans coming from the knuckles of Utane Koharu beside him.

Mizuto Menyan continued to look down, and suddenly his eyes went dark.

Not only does the iron mine have to be compensated to the Hidden Cloud Village, but one-tenth of Konoha's annual task assignments must be given to the Hidden Cloud Village!

That’s one tenth!

Bang!

Utane Koharu slammed her palm on the table, and the hairpin in her white hair almost fell out, but she was unaware of it and was shaking with anger.

"The Hidden Cloud Village is simply going too far!"

Utane Koharu cursed.

"Does the Hidden Cloud Village think that Konoha is the loser of this war?"

The teacup in Mizuto Menen's hand broke into pieces, and the green tea soup immediately spread across the table, soaking the words on the scroll.

Mitomon En glanced at the guards behind him and said, "Throw away this peace treaty! Konoha does not need to sign such a humiliating treaty."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in tacit agreement.

The guarding ninja stepped forward and threw the scroll into the brazier. After lighting it with a match, the scroll gradually turned into ashes.

"I don't think the Hidden Cloud Village is sincere in wanting to sign a peace treaty with us!"

Utane Koharu said without any curiosity.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been silent the whole time, turned his gaze to Nara Shikaku on his right and asked, "Shikaku, what do you think?"

Everyone's attention was immediately focused on Nara Shikaku. At this moment, nothing was more convincing than Nara Shikaku's words.

There was no trace of anger on Nara Shikaku's face, instead he looked extremely relaxed.

He swept his eyes across the angry faces of everyone in the meeting hall and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Hokage-sama, I think the opposite of what everyone else thinks. I believe that the Hidden Cloud Village does want to sign a peace treaty with us."

As soon as Nara Shikaku finished speaking, Mito Kado En narrowed his eyes and said suspiciously, "Since they want to sign a peace agreement, why would the Hidden Cloud Village make so many unreasonable demands?"

Nara Shikaku smiled and said, "Because they are testing our bottom line and attitude."

He continued to look at everyone and explained, "The Hidden Cloud Village has made up its mind to sign a peace treaty with our Konoha. Since the outcome is already decided, they will of course strive for greater benefits for the Hidden Cloud Village."

"First, they are testing our attitude towards peace talks and our bottom line on acceptable conditions by signing a seemingly unreasonable peace agreement."

"If we can accept this agreement, then they will win."

"If we can't accept it, they can draft a new agreement and continue testing the waters."

"That's until they actually get the benefit."

After Nara Shikaku finished his explanation, everyone present looked much better.

Utane Koharu's mouth curled down: "This Kumogakure Village is too shameless."

Nara Shikaku smiled.

Compared with tangible interests, what does face mean?

It’s better than dying for the sake of face and suffering in life!

"What if we don't sign this agreement and the Hidden Cloud Village continues to stalemate with us?"

Mitomon En looked at Nara Shikaku and asked solemnly.

Nara Shikaku shook his head and said affirmatively, "No."

"Why are you so sure?"

Utane Koharu stared at Nara Shikaku in confusion.

"Because the Konoha of today is no longer the Konoha of the Yondaime who just passed away."

Nara Shikaku's tone revealed strong confidence.

"Have you forgotten how the Two-Tails and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki died?"

"The power of Wood Release is still deeply feared by the entire ninja world."

"What's more, there is Uchiha Shisui who can control the tailed beasts with the Sharingan."

"The Hidden Cloud Village has already lost one of its tailed beasts. The Raikage doesn't dare gamble with the Eight-Tails and its Jinchuriki."

"Therefore, the Hidden Cloud Village must sign this peace agreement."

After Nara Shikaku finished speaking, he noticed the gaze of the Hokage.

He nodded slightly and said to the elders and clan leaders present: "Everyone, don't worry. Amamiya Rei is now practicing immortal arts in Myoboku Mountain and his strength has reached a new level. It is the Hidden Cloud Village that should be worried."

"Your analysis makes sense."

Utane Koharu nodded. If that was the case, Konoha really didn't need to worry.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked out the window at the ninja hawks circling in the heavy rain and said to Nara Shikaku, "Shikaku, please draft a suitable peace agreement and send it to the Hidden Cloud Village by ninja hawks."

"Yes."

Nara Shikaku nodded.
