Chapter 36 Negotiations Begin (1)
On the Naraku Plain, a one-story bungalow stands in the center of the plain.
This was built by the Sand Village and Konoha ninjas before the negotiations.
To this end, both sides also mobilized Lava Release Ninja.
Just to complete it quickly.
A large number of ninjas from both sides gathered near the plain.
They surrounded the negotiation team, waiting for news from the sensing ninja.
After the reconnaissance of the sensory ninjas on both sides confirmed that there was no ambush.
The people in charge of the negotiations walked into the house with confidence and sat down at their respective seats.
In front of the long table, the Konoha executives sat on the north side, and the Sunagakure executives sat on the south side.
Behind them, the ninjas in charge of security had serious expressions on their faces and stared at each other intently.
Danzo naturally sat at the head of Konoha's seat.
Next to the lower hand is Lu Shui.
Next came Tofu, Jiraiya, and some ninjas who were responsible for recording the contents of the negotiations.
On the side of the Hidden Sand Village, a ninja named Fengfan was in charge of the negotiations.
This old man is over 60 years old and has gray hair.
In his early years, he followed the first Kazekage, Reito.
With such qualifications, his status in the village is naturally far higher than Chiyo's.
As for Chiyo, she lost the Black Stone Fortress because she was fooled by Danzo before.
As a result, she was hidden away by the Sandaime Kazekage.
Sent back to the village to handle government affairs.
Therefore, she was not present in this negotiation.
If nothing unexpected happens, Chiyo will never be able to hold an important position again during the reign of this Kazekage.
......
Konoha is really full of talented people.
Looking at Danzo with an "X" scar on his chin, Fengfan felt a surge of emotion.
I thought that with Uchiha Madara's defection and the death of the Senju brothers, Konoha should have been unable to recover.
Unexpectedly, it was the Sand Village that had remained fearless in the face of Hashirama Senju and displayed the demeanor of a king that was the first to decline.
In today's Sand Village, there are few ninjas due to poverty.
After this war, there was a talent gap.
On the other hand, in Konoha, the assistant Hokage in front of him is only about thirty years old.
Not to mention the "Konoha White Fang" and "Konoha Three Ninjas" who became famous in the ninja world in this war.
Fengfan is worried about the future of Sunagakure.
but......
He forced himself to cheer up, adjust his state of mind, and prepare for the next negotiations.
The most important thing is to get through this moment.
No matter what, he could not let Sand Village fall out of being one of the five major ninja villages in his hands.
......
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started."
Seeing that everyone had taken their seats, a Sand Ninja coughed lightly and spoke.
In negotiation, it is important to strike first.
As the weaker party, Sunagakure naturally wants to gain the upper hand.
Even Danzo could see this little thought.
But he didn't intend to care about it.
As Konoha is a large village, it's okay for them to jump a few times in order to demonstrate their magnanimity.
Danzo didn't say anything, so the rest of Konoha naturally remained silent.
Everyone watched the Sand Ninja perform.
"In this war, both Sunagakure and Konoha suffered losses to varying degrees."
"In order to stop the war and make peace, we have listed a few terms for your review."
Handing over a scroll, the Sand Ninja who spoke looked very proud.
The expression on his face seemed to say that the contents of this scroll were a great gift to Konoha.
Danzo couldn't help but wonder who was the loser.
Take the scroll and open the first entry you see.
Danzo was so angry that he almost spit out yesterday's dinner.
Danzo suppressed his anger and continued reading, and finally he controlled himself.
The scroll was not torn.
With a cold snort, he handed the scroll to Lu Shui.
Even Lu Shui, a well-mannered person, was shocked the moment he saw the content.
My first reaction was that Sunagakure was crazy.
It's clearly written on it.
Konoha must withdraw its troops from the River Country and promise never to enter the country;
In addition, he was required to pay 50 million taels in compensation for the losses incurred in the Sunagakure War.
Recognize the Rain Country as the sphere of influence of the Sand Village;
Recognize the southern part of the River Country as the territory of the Wind Country;
Konoha needs to help the Sand Village rebuild;
In return, Sand Village is willing to form a brotherly alliance with Konoha...
......
Pass the scroll in your hand to the side.
Lu Shui smiled.
The excellent family education of the Nara family gave him extremely high cultivation.
So, he looked towards the smug Sand Ninja.
Said gently.
"Fuck you."
This warm greeting touches the other person's heart directly.
As Lu Shui finished speaking.
After reading the Sand Village Treaty, the Konoha ninjas were like turning on a switch.
One by one, they began to greet the Sand Ninja's family.
The tone shows the magnanimity of a great country.
The main feature is gentleness and elegance.
Refined and easy-going.
Jiraiya even stood up and put one foot directly on the table.
The saliva sprayed all over the face of the Sand Ninja opposite.
"Do you need me to send a fire escape to your relative? It will keep him warm throughout the winter!"
"Is this the quality of you Konoha ninjas?!"
"What a joke! We, the Konoha ninjas, are all polite and courteous, unlike you, the Sand Village, who are so rude and vulgar."
"That's right. Look at you guys from Sunagakure. You wear a headscarf all day long. What's going on? Are you bald at such a young age?!"
"And you, you're covering half of your face with a headscarf. I'm afraid your yin and yang are out of balance and you're infertile, right?"
"You Konoha..."
"You guys from Sunagakure..."
Except for Danzo and Fufan.
The two sides had a frank exchange of views.
There was a full exchange of views.
I also have a certain understanding of each other's customs and practices.
"In short, I, Konoha, will never accept your treaty."
With a bang, he grabbed a document and threw it on the table.
Lu Shui took out the treaty that he had prepared long ago from his arms.
"On the contrary, in this negotiation, you must accept our treaty."
Take over Konoha's treaty.
Feng Fan had already prepared himself mentally.
The lion's mouth is wide open, that's how negotiations work.
First give you a condition that you cannot meet, and then both parties can talk slowly.
But as he watched, his expression changed.
The first thing is to ask Sunagakure to compensate Konoha for the losses caused by the war.
Departure expenses.
Plus supply charges.
A total of 1 million taels.
In addition, the captured ninjas of Konoha must be released unconditionally.
The captured Sunagakure ninjas no longer demand ransom, but they need to pay for food and medical expenses.
3000 taels per person per day.
Until the war is over.
In addition, Konoha lost 21 Sharingan in this war due to various reasons.
Demand that all of Sunagakure be returned.
If there are any missing, compensation will be made at the rate of one million taels per piece.
We must also recognize that River Country is Konoha's sphere of influence.
No Sand Ninja is allowed to come near.
......
After reading the treaty of Konoha, Fengfan just wanted to say.
This is no longer called a lion's mouth.
Even lions can't eat him.
This is going to take Sunagakure's life.
He has the style of a veteran minister who has served three dynasties.
We really have to sign this treaty.
If he goes back, he will be stripped by Fengying.
