Chapter 212: The Hidden Mist Village voluntarily admits defeat
Chapter 212: The Hidden Mist Village voluntarily admits defeat (Part and )
Jiraiya's arrival doubled the pressure on the Hidden Mist Village.
Especially his summoning beasts, some of which are quite powerful, equivalent to half a tailed beast.
Ordinary ninjas don't have a good way to deal with them.
After holding out for a week, the Hidden Mist Village completely withdrew from the Kingdom of Rivers.
Not only that, even the strongholds and outposts on the seaside were abandoned.
This is undoubtedly a sign of giving up.
The headquarters of Konoha Village and Sand Village.
Hanekawa is listening to Jiraiya explain the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Although Jiraiya did not know the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, his student Minato Namikaze knew it, so he knew a lot of tricks.
"Tsunade did indeed get a good student."
Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh.
Because he found that Hanekawa's comprehension and understanding were far beyond that of ordinary geniuses.
In some ways, he is even better than Minato Namikaze.
Jiraiya thought that the students he received were talented enough, but he didn't expect Tsunade to surpass him and accept an even more perverted student.
Nowadays, Hanekawa's popularity far exceeds that of Minato Namikaze.
"Thank you, Uncle Jiraiya."
Hanekawa said politely.
With Jiraiya's explanation, he saved almost half a month in learning the Flying Thunder God Technique.
As for understanding and perception, these are the effects brought about by his entries.
"Jiraiya-sama, Hanekawa-sama."
Just then, a young ninja walked in and said, "Tsunade-sama wants you to go to the main tent for a meeting."
"Let's go."
Jiraiya and Hanekawa came to the main tent together.
Besides them, there were all the special jonin and jonin of Konohagakure and Sand Village.
This is a jonin meeting.
Hanekawa suddenly let out a light exclamation.
Because he saw an unexpected figure, an Anbu ninja from the Hidden Mist Village.
Hanekawa was thoughtful.
There is only one possibility for this Anbu ninja from the Hidden Mist Village to stand so safely in the base camp of the Konoha Village and the Hidden Sand Village.
He came to make peace.
"Everyone is here, let's start the meeting now."
Tsunade looked at the ANBU ninja from the Hidden Mist Village standing in the middle of the main tent and asked, "What's the matter, Mizukage?"
"Tsunade-sama."
The Kirigakure ANBU ninja bowed slightly and said, "Lord Mizukage wishes to negotiate peace with Konoha Village."
As soon as these words were spoken, the jonin in the main tent all showed joy.
The war was over, and they had won. Naturally, they could hardly suppress their excitement.
"When?"
Tsunade's lips curled up slightly, and she relaxed.
"After the New Year, in January, the Hidden Mist Village will send a ninja delegation to negotiate."
The ANBU ninja from the Hidden Mist Village said respectfully.
The three ninja villages have been fighting for so long, and they all need some time to rest, and the New Year is coming soon.
Apart from that, the three ninja villages have to discuss the conditions separately, so January is not too late.
"very good."
Tsunade waved her hand and said, "Then I will wait for you all to arrive."
The Anbu ninja from the Hidden Mist Village bowed again, then turned and left.
"Won!"
As soon as he left, someone couldn't help but shout out.
"We have won a great victory this time! Even the Third Mizukage died in our hands!"
A ninja from the Akimichi clan echoed.
"More than just the Third Mizukage."
Hinata Hizashi reminded, "There are also the Seven Ninja Swordsmen."
"Yes."
The Nara clan's jonin said confidently, "This time we will definitely make the Hidden Mist Village bleed heavily!"
Generally speaking, matters such as peace talks are left to the Nara clan.
Because of their high IQ, they often have the upper hand in negotiations.
Chiyo sighed inwardly.
In this war with the Hidden Mist Village, the Sand Village played a relatively limited role and could be considered to be just there to make up the numbers.
Whether it is the Third Mizukage or the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the biggest contributors are Tsunade and Hanekawa.
Compared to the talented people in Konoha Village, the Sand Village seems much inferior.
Fortunately, their luck was not bad.
Holding the thigh of Konoha Village, he gained a victory. When the time comes for negotiations, he can also get a share of the pie.
Tsunade couldn't help but smile.
At such a happy moment, she naturally would not stop it.
She subconsciously looked at Hanekawa.
Tsunade found it incredible that there had been such growth in just three years.
To be honest, when she accepted Hanekawa as her apprentice, her greatest hope was that he would become an excellent medical ninja in the future.
Who could have thought that this future would come so quickly and far exceed her expectations.
Hanekawa is not only an excellent medical ninja, he is also an excellent physical ninja, illusion ninja, five-element ninja, and so on.
In the entire Konoha Village, he is considered the second most versatile ninja besides Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The Jonin meeting came to an end amidst laughter and joy.
"Tsunade, congratulations."
Jiraiya smiled and said, "Now no one in Konoha Village has made more contributions than you."
"..."
Tsunade was speechless.
She had already guessed what Jiraiya wanted to say.
"How about it?"
Jiraiya asked, as she expected, "Any ideas about the position of the Fourth Hokage?"
Because of the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, he has been searching for the child of prophecy all year round, so he has no intention of becoming a Hokage.
Apart from him, Orochimaru and Tsunade are the most promising.
But now that Orochimaru has interfered in the Wood Release experiment, he has lost his qualifications in his mind.
"we'll talk about it then."
Tsunade shook her head and said.
"I thought you would just refuse the position of Hokage outright like before."
Jiraiya said with some surprise.
Tsunade couldn't help but be startled.
Yes.
If it were her in the past, she would have definitely refused outright, but now she has come to the idea that she can accept the position or not.
"I didn't agree to that either."
Tsunade glanced at Hanekawa and said, "You guys get ready and go back to Konoha Village tomorrow."
"I'm not going back with you."
Jiraiya paused and said, "I will rush back after Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo return to the village."
"Is the Child of Prophecy so important?"
Tsunade couldn't help but frown and asked.
"He concerns the peace of the ninja world. I must find him."
Jiraiya said with a serious face.
"..."
Tsunade hesitated for a second before finally saying, "Then go."
"See you next time."
Jiraiya walked to the door of the main tent and suddenly turned around and said, "If you want to be Hokage, remember to notify me, and I will support you then."
Tsunade couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
She always felt that she was destined to be the Fourth Hokage and she couldn't escape.
"It's all your fault, little brat!"
Tsunade glared at Hanekawa and said dissatisfiedly.
"I?"
Hanekawa blinked and said innocently, "I didn't do anything."
“Haven’t you done enough?”
Tsunade asked as she walked forward and stepped on his foot.
"Teacher, I think you are the child."
Hanekawa couldn't help but complain.
"Who are you calling a child?"
Tsunade asked in a threatening tone, her eyes narrowed and she crossed her arms over her chest.
"The teacher is definitely not!"
Hanekawa couldn't help but say as he looked at the arc between her hands.
Tsunade noticed his look and subconsciously lowered her hands.
She didn't know why, but she felt in a good mood, perhaps because her charm was still there.
But she didn't show it.
Tsunade snorted and left the main tent.
Hanekawa hurried to catch up. "Are we going back?"
When Yuhi Kurenai and Nohara Rin saw them, they took the initiative to move forward.
"Ah."
Hanekawa looked at their expectant expressions and said with a smile, "We'll go back tomorrow."
"Great!"
Kurenai jumped happily, then grabbed Hanekawa's hand and spun around in a half circle.
Nohara Lin subconsciously showed an envious expression.
"You guys chat."
Tsunade glanced at them and turned away.
Hanekawa was slightly startled.
What's the reaction?
The time came the next day.
After breakfast, Hanekawa began to dismantle the tent and pack up his things.
At nine o'clock in the morning, everyone gathered at the entrance of the base camp on time.
The ninjas from Konoha Village left first, and the ninjas from Sand Village left later.
"Granny Chiyo, remember to send a ninja delegation to Konoha Village for negotiations in January."
Tsunade warned before leaving.
In this war, both Konoha Village and Sand Village were winners.
In addition, since they have already formed an alliance, the Sand Village must also participate.
Of course, Konoha Village still accounts for the majority.
"Konoha Village."
Chiyo thought of Hatake Sakumo.
It was this Konoha White Fang who killed his son and daughter-in-law.
Because of Hanekawa's butterfly effect, Hatake Sakumo did not die, so now he has become a thorn in her side.
But now that Konoha Village is even stronger, Chiyo can only temporarily suppress the hatred in her heart.
She thought about it for a moment and decided to send a jonin there when the time came.
There was no way she could go anyway.
Otherwise, when she saw Hatake Sakumo, she would not be able to help but kill him.
The people of Konoha Village left the River Kingdom in a mighty manner and headed towards the Fire Kingdom.
On the way, while there was time, Hanekawa taught Nohara Lin the Chakra Scalpel.
Two days later, the group arrived at Konoha Village smoothly.
Because this time they returned with a great victory and a large number of people, Sarutobi Hiruzen arranged for ninjas and villagers to welcome them.
From the entrance of Konoha Village to the Hokage Building, there were excited onlookers all the way.
Their cheers could be said to resound throughout the entire Konoha Village.
The most people called out Tsunade, followed by Hanekawa.
After this Ninja World War, their teacher and student became completely famous. It can be said that they were known to everyone in the entire Ninja World.
"Everyone, please disperse!"
Tsunade said loudly when they arrived at the Hokage building.
The gathered crowd then slowly left.
Tsunade couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Such a scene, in her opinion, was too troublesome.
But it is not easy to refuse directly, after all, everyone needs such a victory.
"Hekawa, come with me to see the old man."
Tsunade ordered, "The rest of you go home and rest."
"Yes."
Hinata Hizashi and the others answered in unison.
"Hanekawa, go home early."
Yuhi Kurenai said hello and left with Nohara Lin.
"Your little girlfriend can't bear to leave you."
Tsunade looked at Kurenai Yuhi and said in a calm tone.
"Not a little girlfriend."
Hanekawa coughed lightly and corrected himself.
"is it?"
Tsunade didn't ask any more questions and turned to enter the Hokage building.
Bang!
The door to the Hokage's office was kicked open.
"You have worked hard."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile, ignoring the protesting door.
"Rewards or something, remember to give them out."
Tsunade asked briefly, "Is there anything else? If not, I'm going to go back and rest!"
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly felt helpless.
He is a good student in every way except that he is afraid of trouble.
But being a Hokage brings the most trouble.
"There is one thing."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a serious expression, "I just received news that the Hidden Cloud Village has sent people to the Hidden Cloud Village to prepare for peace talks."
"what?"
Tsunade couldn't help but show surprise, "We can negotiate like this?"
In her opinion, the Iwagakure Village killed the Third Raikage.
The current Fourth Raikage is the son of the Third Raikage. No matter how you think about it, there is no possibility of peace talks.
Hanekawa's heart moved.
Sounds ridiculous.
But in the original work, the Iwagakure Village and the Kumogakure Village did stop fighting.
However, given the Fourth Raikage's personality, it would be difficult for him to make such a decision, and it was most likely Mabui's doing.
"Is it because of our Konoha Village?"
Tsunade asked as she suddenly thought of something.
"good."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said.
Now that the Hidden Mist Village has surrendered and the Hidden Sand Village has become an ally, Konoha Village is no longer restrained by any other ninja village.
In other words, Konoha Village can now send out more ninjas and concentrate its forces to deal with the Hidden Cloud Village.
In addition, the Iwagakure Village and the Kumogakure Village are under too much pressure, and they have to make a choice.
"Will the Iwagakure Village agree?"
Tsunade asked, frowning slightly.
"Hard to say."
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said, "The Iwagakure Village suffered too much loss in the siege of the Third Raikage, and they have been unable to capture the village for a long time, so they might agree."
"It's really troublesome."
Tsunade couldn't help but feel a headache.
She thought she would be able to relax for a while if she defeated the Hidden Mist Village, but the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Rock Village became restless again.
"We will wait until they come out with the results and then act accordingly."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said after a moment's thought.
"That's all."
Tsunade sighed inwardly and said.
"Don't worry too much. It might be a good thing for our Konoha Village."
Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up his pipe, tapped it, and said thoughtfully.
"Aren't you worried about them forming an alliance?"
Tsunade asked, raising her eyebrows.
"It is unlikely that we will form an alliance to avenge the murder of our father. At most, we can negotiate a truce."
Sarutobi Hiruzen analyzed.
Tsunade was stunned for a moment, and she roughly understood what he meant.
After the Iwagakure Village signed a truce, only the Kumogakure Village was left.
As long as Konoha Village defeats them, this Ninja World War will be completely ended.
Tsunade thought about it and realized that this was indeed a good thing.
However, the war between Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village will most likely be more dangerous.
“These are all speculations.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up his pipe and prepared to light it, "You guys go back and rest."
“Smoke less.”
Tsunade glanced at him and turned away.
Hanekawa recalled the plot in the original work.
The battle between the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Leaf Village lasted the longest, and ended the latest.
It is somewhat similar to the current situation.
But the difference is that the Konoha Village today is strong and powerful, unlike in the original work, where only Minato Namikaze was there to put out fires.
Hanekawa let out a breath.
After fighting for three years, he was exhausted both physically and mentally.
It would be best if the war could be ended.
Time passes slowly.
After returning to Konoha Village, Hanekawa began his previous training life again.
As November passed and December arrived, news came that the Iwagakure Village and the Kumogakure Village had reached a truce.
At this point, there was only one battlefield still going on in the entire ninja world.
