Chapter 170 The Hidden Cloud Village Surrenders
January 47, Konoha 2.
The Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Cloud Village reached an unconditional peace.
The Hidden Mist Village suffered heavy losses as it lost a huge amount of financial and material resources without gaining any benefit at all.
He was forced to start a battle with the Sand Village for the last place.
January 47, Konoha 3.
A high-ranking member of the Sand Village, Fufan, died in his hospital bed, and the official announcement was made that he died of illness.
But according to people familiar with the matter, the old consultant's eyes were wide open, his expression was ferocious, and all the water in his body seemed to have disappeared before his death.
It was obvious that he had been murdered.
But this news was soon refuted by the Sand Village itself.
January 47, Konoha 3.
The Jinchuriki of Sand Village, Bunfuku, mysteriously disappeared.
January 47, Konoha 6.
The helmsman of the Hidden Rain Village, the legendary ninja "Hanzo" died.
The murderer is unknown.
All we know is that Hanzo's body was in pieces.
However, the Hidden Rain Village did not fall into chaos because of Hanzo's death.
Over the years, Hanzo has lost his former ambition and has become suspicious.
The Hidden Rain Village was in a mess.
As the Rain Country officially announced that its defense would be handed over to Konoha, it was natural for the Konoha ninjas to move into the country that they had once brought harm to.
This time, the Konoha ninjas displayed qualities far beyond the last Ninja World War, and got along well with the civilians of the Rain Country.
This made the Rain Ninjas who were preparing to take revenge under the banner of Hanzo lose their motivation.
Under the promotion of Konoha, most of the Rain Ninjas accepted reorganization and the new Rain Village was established.
Under Konoha's arrangement, the village chief is an orange-haired young man who was born in the Hidden Rain Village and once served as the director of the Konoha Orphanage.
Despite his average ability, the young man's enthusiastic attitude impressed everyone.
Soon he gained a foothold in the Hidden Mist Village.
January 47, Konoha 7.
After cleaning up the mess caused by the war and the disappearance of the tailed beasts in the village, the overwhelmed Fourth Kazekage paid a high-profile visit to Konoha Village.
The Acting Hokage "Danzo" personally met him.
The two sides discussed various issues for two and a half months.
As the talks ended, the two sides jointly issued a statement announcing the formation of the Ninja World Alliance and welcoming all ninja villages, big and small, to join.
At the same time as announcing the establishment of the Ninja World Alliance, Konoha announced the existence of the Otsutsuki clan to the outside world.
And stated that the Shinobi Alliance was established to deal with the upcoming Otsutsuki.
The Ninja Alliance will handle all types of commissions in a unified manner and assign tasks according to the abilities of the ninjas in each village.
At the same time, the imports and exports of hidden villages within the alliance will enjoy the same level of low tariffs.
Konoha will also provide material assistance to the Hidden Village that is short of supplies.
This news did not attract the attention of the Iwagakure Village, the Kumogakure Village, and the Mist Village.
In their opinion, this was just an excuse made by Konoha to become the big brother of the ninja world.
Even though Konoha has already revealed the results of their investigation into the Otsutsuki ruins to the outside world.
The only ones who responded to this statement were Takigakure Village and Amegakure Village.
January 47, Konoha 10.
The Third Hokage returns, and Konoha Village once again returns to the rule of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
January 47, Konoha 10.
The Fourth Raikage Ai and his brother encountered Minato Namikaze in the border forest.
With the help of Rasengan, Minato Namikaze successfully shattered the lightning armor of the Fourth Raikage.
Taking this opportunity, Orochimaru advanced his position another five kilometers.
January 47, Konoha 10.
The Hidden Cloud Village sent envoys again, hoping to negotiate peace.
This time Konoha did not refuse, and the two sides decided to negotiate within the territory of the Land of Hot Springs.
As for the Hidden Cloud Village, Dodai was sent to take full charge of the negotiations, with Ma Buyi as his deputy.
In Konoha Village, Danzo personally came forward, with Nara Shikasui serving as his deputy.
"The Hidden Cloud Village does not have to cede land, but must join the Ninja World Alliance, and one of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki must live in Konoha."
At the very beginning, Danzo made a proposal that the Hidden Cloud Village could not accept.
Joining the Ninja Alliance is just a matter of words, but Jinchūriki——
That is the village's strategic weapon. Even if only one is handed over, it will be a serious blow to the Hidden Cloud Village.
"This is our bottom line. There is no room for negotiation."
Danzo observed the reaction of the platform opposite him coldly.
Looking at Danzo's expression, Dodai secretly felt hatred gritting his teeth, but the situation was stronger than the people, and they had lost their bargaining power facing Konoha.
If the war continues, the finances of the Hidden Cloud Village will not be able to sustain it.
There is not much manpower available.
"Master Danzo, if you push the Hidden Cloud Village into a corner, you won't have an easy time either."
Seeing that Danzo was unwilling to give in, Dodai forced himself to cheer up and threatened the other party with words.
"What you are expecting is nothing more than an Eight-Tails Jinchuriki who controls the power of the Tailed Beasts."
Danzo shook his head. He thought he knew the hidden cards of the Hidden Cloud Village very well.
The Two-Tails Jinchuriki is still young, so the only one they can use is Killer Bee.
"You may not believe it, but our Six-Tails and Seven-Tails Jinchuriki can also master the power of the Tailed Beasts."
At this point the balance of war had completely tilted towards Konoha Village, and Danzo no longer had any need to hide the fact that the tailed beasts were in Konoha.
"You can also send someone to ask Ōnoki if the Four-Tails is still in his village."
Your Vulpix, Nanabi, and Shigabi?!
When Dodai heard Danzo's words, his pupils shrank and he stood there as if he had been struck by lightning.
The tailed beasts of the Kirigakure Village, the tailed beasts of the Takigakure Village, and even the tailed beasts of the Iwagakure Village—
None of this belongs to you, it all belongs to someone else!
"The last time the Eight-Tails rioted, it had something to do with you guys!"
A Cloud Ninja couldn't bear it any longer and slammed the table and stood up.
"Don't say anything without evidence, otherwise it will be regarded as slander against us."
Nara Shikasui knocked on the table, signaling the other party not to talk nonsense.
"you--"
The Kumo-nin who was speaking wanted to say something else but was stopped by Dodai.
"It's our fault."
He had no doubt about the truth of what Danzo said.
In this situation, the fact that he dared to say it proved that he had absolute confidence.
In this way, the Hidden Cloud Village has indeed lost the capital to compete with the Konoha Village.
To be more precise, the entire ninja world no longer has the capital to compete with Konoha.
[Sandaime-sama, raiding the Sand Village was a mistake. 】
With a sigh in his heart, Dodai felt guilty for not being able to stop the Sandaime Raikage.
If our side had not raided the Sand Village, the current situation would be that the four hidden villages were besieging Konoha.
January 47, Konoha 12.
The negotiations between the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Leaf Village are over.
The Hidden Cloud Village announced its joining of the Ninja Alliance.
At the same time, Konoha also announced that it would help rebuild the Hidden Cloud Village at the most favorable price.
A young man who can use Wood Release leads a construction team to the Hidden Cloud Village in a high-profile manner.
Konoha actually has a user of Wood Release again!
The shock this news brought to the ninja world was no less than that caused by Konoha plundering the tailed beasts from various villages.
Not long after Konoha negotiated with Kumogakure, Mifune of the Land of Iron suddenly appeared and claimed that he had been hit by an illusion cast by an unknown ninja, causing the Land of Iron to violate its neutral position.
His words secretly pointed the finger at the Iwagakure Village as the mastermind behind the incident.
The Hidden Cloud Village chose to accept Mifune's statement, and the two sides reached an unconditional peace.
January 48, Konoha 1.
After celebrating the New Year in the village, the two Two-Tails Jinchuriki were secretly sent to Konoha by wooden figures.
Danzo placed it in the Uzumaki residence.
