The three generations are gone! The walk was so abrupt that all the Konoha ninjas were caught off guard.

However, although all this is unimaginable, the high-level people of Konoha do not have time to immerse themselves in grief infinitely.

Because of this battle, Konoha won!

As the victorious side of Konoha in this battle, all the forces of the Otoshinobi and the four people of Otoshinobi were either annihilated or captured in this battle. Among the important captives are the three sons and daughters of the four generations of Kazekage, one of whom is still the human pillar force of the important tailed beast of the Sand Hidden Village, and the other heavyweight captive is the head of the Shinobi squad of the Sand Hidden Village, Maki.

Captured important figures and annihilated the opposing invading forces. Konoha is now negotiating with Sand Hidden with such brilliant results.

Since the Kazekage himself died at the hands of Orochimaru, Konoha is not completely on the moral high ground in some ways. But the current form doesn't allow Konoha and Sagakure to get caught up in endless ripping. The surrounding powers are all eyeing each other, so both Konoha and Sha Yin want to solve this big trouble as soon as possible.

Therefore, the day after the war, the two sides started the first round of negotiations on this issue in the border Kikyo Castle.

The negotiations were mediated by two daimyo from the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, with Konoha on the Mito Menyan side and Chief of the General Staff Nara Shikaku in attendance, while the Elder Umi Eizo and Takasanyura on the Sungakure side attended.

After the members of both sides were seated, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, as a notary, spoke first.

"I am very grateful to all of you for participating in this negotiation today, I regret the incident that happened in Konoha before, and I also believe that it was just a misunderstanding, so I hope that you can resolve the issues related to this incident peacefully through negotiation here today. ”

After the Fire Nation Daimyo spoke, it was supposed to be the Wind Nation Daimyo who spoke, but he chose to remain silent. Because he actually knows in his heart that the outbreak of this incident is actually very related to the dissatisfaction of many sand shinobi in the country. So he knew that it was best for him not to speak now.

Seeing that there was a little embarrassment in the atmosphere in the venue, Menyan decided to speak.

"First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the two daimyos, and at the same time, I personally hope for peace. But I would like to say that we strongly condemn this betrayal by the Sand Hide. At the same time, he strongly demanded that Sha Yin compensate Konoha for the loss of a total of 100 million taels! At the same time, he demanded the unconditional opening of the three trade routes that had been under negotiation before!"

"It can't !!"

Yura, who was sitting next to Ekihi, got up and glared angrily at Menyan.

"How much is Shayin's financial income in a year? You can only open your mouth for 100 million taels? Moreover, there are many controversies over those three trade routes, and we will not agree to your conditions!"

At this time, Ebizo suddenly stretched out his hand and signaled Yura not to say any more, but to sit back in his seat and calm down. After Yura sat down, Ebizo spoke.

"Your Excellency Menyan, I think there are a lot of problems with what you just said. The first problem is that I don't think Sand Hide is responsible for this incident. Because this incident is completely a conspiracy planned by your Konoha traitor Orochimaru, and in this conspiracy, our Kazekage of Shayin was also victimized by Orochimaru, so do you think it is appropriate to ask Shayin, who is the victim, to compensate Konoha for his losses?"

Sure enough, Menyan thought in his heart. Before this, he estimated that Sha Yin would take Orochimaru to talk about things, but he had been prepared for this.

"No, no, no, Your Excellency Ebizo, your words are biased. You must know that in this incident, three generations of Hokage-sama in our village also died because of this. And among the ninjas who invaded Konoha, we did find the existence of sand ninjas, so it's not wrong for me to say that Sand Hide betrayed the alliance, I hope you don't confuse the concept. Moreover, the three children of Maki Kamishinobu and Kazekage in your village are still our captives. ”

This made Ebizo have to take it seriously, because the power of the human pillar is very important to a village, and Ebizo can't ignore his existence, let alone let him fall into the hands of Konoha.

"Well, I'll admit that some of the sand shinobi did something that hurt our feelings extremely much because of Orochimaru's demagogy. I would like to sincerely apologize for their stupid behavior, and please hope that Konoha will extradite those sinners back to Shagakure, and we will punish them severely!"

Ebizo's attempt to get those captives back through a bunch of empty words made Menyan shake his head secretly, and he couldn't help but be furious for the other party's spirit of not letting go. At this moment, Lu Jiu spoke.

"Your Excellency, I agree with your statement that the culprit of this conspiracy is Orochimaru, and I am aware of the great damage he has done to Sha Yin. But rest assured, our main forces in Konoha are still very impressive in combat effectiveness after this incident, so we have unilaterally decided to hold the culprits responsible for this incident accountable indefinitely. At the same time, do you think it's okay to do justice for Shayin Village?"

Looking at Lu Jiu, who always had a gentle smile on his face, Ebizo couldn't help but admire his power in his heart. On the surface, it seems that he is talking about completely chasing down Orochimaru, but in fact, another meaning is that Konoha is now completely capable of starting a war. He's threatening Sha Yin with force!

Under such high pressure, Ebizo finally chose to compromise. Sand Hide must not tear his face with Konoha now, because compared to Konoha Sha Yin can not afford war.

"Well, I agree with Konoha's decision to temporarily detain the sinner. We hope that the situation will be peaceful and stable, but the specific construction plan and the relevant regulations of the investment amount are still to be discussed, so we will postpone those things to talk about. ”

Ebizo suddenly said a bunch of unfinished words, but Menyan and Lu Jiu both laughed heartily when they heard it. They understood what Ebizo meant, that is, Sha Yin agreed to pay reparations to Konoha and increase trade, but the specific amount and detailed terms had to be negotiated, and those captives could also be imprisoned in Konoha until the negotiations were completely over. In short, the sand has been recognized, and the peace between the regions has been preserved.

"Thank you for your understanding, we will also consult with you on specific matters after the selection of the new Hokage, and I hope that the alliance between Konoha and Sungakure will be more pleasant in the future. ”

Menyan stood up and said a few words to Ebizo, and like the other party, Konoha also hoped to delay the negotiation of specific matters on the basis of determining the general direction. Subsequently, after notarizing with the two daimyos, both sides did not say anything more, and both returned to the village to settle the internal situation.

After stabilizing the situation with Shayin, Menyan can return to the village with peace of mind for the time being. After a brief exchange with Koharu and Danzo, the village's higher-ups decided that the funeral of the three Hokages would be held next.

Two days later, the funeral was held under Shadow Rock.

The coffins of the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun were placed on the roof of the Hokage House, and all the ninjas in Konoha Hidden Village who were not on duty on this day came here. As the only son of the three Hokages now, Sarutobi Asma stood at the front with Konohamaru, who was already crying. All of them were dressed in black with white flowers on their chests.

In the crowd, Naruto, who was standing there silently sad, couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

Why is life so fragile? The three generations of grandfathers who were still together the day before were lying on the ground after only one day, never to get up again, and now he is attending his funeral. I heard that he went with a smile on his face before leaving. He didn't really understand why some people would sacrifice their lives to fight for others.

Iruka-sensei told him a bunch of big truths, but Naruto didn't seem to fully understand. But in the end, he understood one thing, that is, whether he lived or died, a person always wanted to make his life appear worthwhile, so that his battle would not become meaningless. People still have to look forward to the future with an optimistic attitude.

With this in mind, Naruto left the Hokage House after the funeral. He has a lot of things in his heart that he wants to talk to someone, for example, his eldest brother Qingyang is a good object. And when he thought of Qingyang, he realized that he didn't seem to see Qingyang at the funeral just now. After thinking about it carefully for a long time, this guy with big nerves suddenly realized.

"Oh! I remember! The eldest brother was taken away by the toad boss and never came back! Where the hell has he gone? I have to ask the lecherous fairy. ”

After several twists and turns, Naruto finally found Jiraiya outside the women's bathhouse. After explaining the intention, Zilai also asked in confusion.

"Didn't the sunny boy just now?"

In the end, after confirming that Naruto was telling the truth, Jiraiya decided to channel the toad out and ask how Haruyo was doing, or ask the toad to bring Haruyo back here, but the reply he got after he got in touch with the toad using psychic techniques was like this.

"The moon and the sun were taken away by the crocodile. ”

Crocodile?
