Chapter 28 Yunyin comes.
Chapter 28 Yunyin comes.
Compared to Konoha, the Hidden Cloud Village selected the Third Raikage much faster. The style of the Hidden Cloud Village is exactly the same as that of the Mafia. After the Third Generation Ai suppressed the coup of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, he naturally inherited the position of Raikage from his father, the Second Generation Ai.
He succeeded to the throne hastily, and there were a lot of bad debts waiting for the Third Generation Ai to deal with. Now the most important problem was how to calm the anger of Konoha.
The third generation Ai felt a headache when looking at the corpse of Senju Tobirama in front of him. If it was not handled properly, the Hidden Cloud Village might be in danger of being destroyed.
This problem is not easy to solve!
We agreed to negotiate together and stop fighting, take a few years off, and then compete again. However, the Hidden Cloud Village did not manage its subordinates Kinkaku and Ginkaku well, and directly launched a coup, killing the Second Hokage who came to negotiate.
Although their second generation Raikage is also dead, Konoha certainly doesn't care about this. What does the life or death of your Raikage have to do with Konoha? We agreed to negotiate and not fight, so why is your family member launching a sneak attack?
Do you still care about the reputation of the largest village in the ninja world?
Judging from one's own experience, if the Third Generation Ai put himself in Konoha's shoes, he would definitely go crazy and fight to the death.
Now that things have come to this, we can only hope that Konoha can exercise restraint and not go crazy enough to perish together with the Hidden Cloud Village.
In that case, the third generation Ai can only lead the Hidden Cloud Village and Konoha to fight to the end.
A few days later, envoys from the Hidden Cloud Village came to Konoha, wanting to discuss issues such as signing a new peace agreement with Konoha and returning the body of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.
Considering that the Hidden Cloud Village was in the wrong first, they could make concessions on the previous agreement.
Konoha held an emergency meeting on this matter. The body of Senju Tobirama had to be sent back, and it would be meaningless for Uzumaki Mito to delay time any further. He still had to face reality.
At the conference, the argument was very fierce. The Senju clan's senior ninja's demand was simple, that is to fight to the end!
Their own clan leader and Hokage was killed by the enemy village without a word, so Konoha might as well disband and let everyone go their separate ways.
Konoha wants revenge!!
eye for eye! ! !
Such voices emerged one after another and almost dominated the mainstream.
But the reality is very cruel. War is a major issue for a country, a matter of life and death, and must be carefully considered.
Konoha is no longer able to launch a decent battle now, as it simply can't get enough money out of its pockets.
No Money!
War costs money!
Who pays?
We can't always count on those noble lords of the Fire Nation!
But such words cannot be said out loud, do you understand political correctness?
Revenge for the Hokage, this slogan is correct.
Even if Uchiha Nan was sitting below, he wanted to clap and cheer in his heart, and pretend to be indignant on his face, and he wanted to rush onto the battlefield and fight a decisive battle with Kumogakure.
The slogans you speak must be shouted loudly!
However, if they really want to send troops to fight a desperate battle with Kumogakure, the ninja clan leaders present must consider how long their own businesses can last. They can't just sell their ancestral property to those black-hearted bankers in the Fire Nation.
Those guys who shed hair are usually a bunch of black-hearted people.
They are sitting on the Diaoyutai, and as long as you dare to sell, they will dare to offer a low price that even they themselves feel is unscrupulous.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t sell it, the price will be lower later.
Uzumaki Mito looked at the ninjas below who were clamoring for revenge. The patriarchs of each family had sad faces and said nothing. Their attitude was obvious enough.
Revenge is possible, but not now.
Konoha is almost exhausted. If the fighting continues, everyone will be finished.
In a big war, we will not only have to deal with the Hidden Cloud Village, but also the Hidden Iwagakure Village and the Hidden Mist Village. We may have to fight one against three.
Finally, Uzumaki Mito brought the patriarchs of each family to a small room for a final meeting.
After a discussion among the clan leaders, they decided that fighting was not allowed, but they had to show their support so that the ninja villages outside would not think Konoha was weak. They didn't even dare to say a word when the Hokage died, otherwise how could Konoha lead the surrounding brothers, such as the Kusagakure.
Uchiha Nan certainly had no objection to this. The one who died was not a member of the Uchiha clan, but Senju Tobirama.
Uzumaki Mito personally mobilized Konoha's ninjas for war, vowing to seek justice and repay blood with blood.
However, secretly, the patriarchs of each family issued orders to the family ninjas in the direction of the Hidden Cloud Village, requiring them to remain restrained.
We cannot take the initiative to attack. Of course, if the Hidden Cloud Village dares to send troops to attack, then there will be no more room for negotiation and we will all die together.
"If Kumogakure doesn't give a satisfactory answer this time, Konoha will fight Kumogakure to the death!"
Facing the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village, the Konoha government issued the harshest diplomatic rhetoric, making the envoys from the Hidden Cloud Village feel that this trip to Konoha might not return.
However, as he had a mission to accomplish, he still negotiated with Konoha.
On the basis of the original peace agreement, the Hidden Cloud Village was willing to pay an additional 4 billion taels of compensation to Konoha, with 1 billion to be paid in the first year and the remaining balance to be paid off over five years.
The extremely poor Cloud Village made major concessions out of guilt. They had no money and could not come up with more. People in the village were already starving to death.
Grain merchants have already driven up grain prices to sky-high levels, three times higher than prices in peacetime.
When dealing with such businessmen, the Raikage naturally struck back with heavy blows, killing several black-hearted businessmen, but unfortunately it was of no use.
But this is a business with several times the profit, enough to make people risk their lives.
What's more, there are people behind the grain merchants. The war makes a fortune by raising grain prices, but it's not just your money that is being made. Grain prices in every country have fluctuated.
Look at the Sand Village next door, the price of food has almost increased five or six times, but no one has said anything. Is your Cloud Village special?
Then the Raikage who killed the merchant was warned.
Now that Konoha sees that the Hidden Cloud Village has lowered its stance, the rest of the things will be easy to handle.
Intimidation, exorbitant demands, bickering, harsh words to each other, and if it doesn't work, fighting to the death, and finally returning to reality.
Konoha asked for an additional 500 million taels, and the Third Raikage gritted his teeth and accepted the offer.
It's just money, something outside of your body.
Ten people starving to death is a string of numbers, and ten thousand people starving to death is also a string of numbers.
There was nothing he could do, reality was just that cruel.
The villagers of Yunyin Village suffered a lot and he had to bear the blame.
The last thing to be discussed at the meeting was when the body of Senju Tobirama would be sent back, which was a big event for Konoha.
We're going to hold a village funeral for Senju Tobirama, and make it a grand occasion!
All the family patriarchs of Konoha must attend in person, and the scene must be grand!
The nobles of the Fire Nation must also be notified to attend the funeral.
Konoha wants to collect burial fees from a wave of nobles and use the Hokage's funeral to make money, although it's a bit shabby.
But making money is not shameful.
The family is almost unable to make ends meet, and the continuous fiscal deficits have made Konoha unable to make ends meet.
If Senju Tobirama were still alive, he would surely agree. He made contributions to Konoha while alive, and he will continue to dedicate himself to Konoha after his death.
This is the will of fire that devotes all its efforts until death!
Dear readers, can you slap me in the face with your monthly tickets?
