Chapter 323: Peace (1)
"I-" Hearing this, the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow opened his mouth, not knowing how to reply.
Looking at the expressions of the four generations of Thunder Shadows, the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder said: "Therefore, for the current Cloud Hidden Ninja Village and the Land of Thunder, it is better to discuss peace later than to negotiate early, and it is better to negotiate peace actively than to negotiate peace passively!"
"This point, as the leader of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, you shouldn't be unclear!"
"Of course, the suggestion that the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village negotiate peace with Konoha is not just me, but all the officials of the Daimyo Mansion mean this - the Land of Thunder cannot continue to bleed endlessly!"
Hearing that the proposal of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village and Konoha to negotiate peace was the unanimous intention of all the officials of the Daimyo Mansion, the four generations of Thunder Shadow suddenly felt a huge pressure that followed.
"My lord, let me think about it!" said the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow.
"Yes!" the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder nodded and said, "Shadow of Thunder, you can think about it, but I hope you don't think about it too long - after all, the war in the Land of Thunder is still burning with the vitality of the Land of Thunder!"
"My lord, I understand!" said the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow.
"It's good to understand!" said the Daimyo of Thunder Country, "Thunder Shadow, since you want to think about it, then you should go back to your room and think about it first!"
"Good!" said the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow.
After speaking, the four generations of Thunder Shadow left the reception room.
After watching the four generations of Thunder Shadow leave, the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder also got up and left the reception room, walking towards another room - there, there was also a guest who had come from afar and needed to be received by the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder.

The room where the four generations of Thunder Shadow rested.
Back in the room, the four generations of Thunder Shadow meditated on the peace proposal put forward by the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder.
But the more the four generations of Thunder Shadow thought about it, the more irritated they becameβthe four generations of Thunder Shadow were not only for the sake of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village to take the initiative to negotiate peace with Konoha but also for the eight-tailed human pillar force and the two-tailed human pillar force of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village.
In this way, the four generations of Thunder Shadow have made peace with the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village and Konoha in their hearts, and there is a thorn in the heart from beginning to end.

A day later.
The reception room of the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Thunder.
The daimyo of the Land of Thunder and the fourth generation of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village Thunder Shadow sat in the reception room again.
"Thunder Shadow, how have you considered the matter of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village and Konoha negotiating peace?" asked the Daimyo of Thunder Country.
"My lord, can you give me a few more days?" asked the fourth generation Thunder Shadow.
"Thunder Shadow, I know it's difficult for you to make a decision to make peace, but time is not in the hands of our Thunder Country!" said the Thunder Country Daimyo, "If you hesitate here for one more day, the Thunder Country's national capital will be reduced by one more point!"
"Lei Ying, it's better for you to make a decision early!"
Hearing the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder say this, and considering the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder's urgency to negotiate peace with the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village and Konoha, the four generations of Thunder Shadow thought of a possibility.
So, the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow asked, "My lord, did someone from Konoha find you here, or did someone from the Daimyo Mansion of the Fire Country find you?"
"Thunder Shadow, since you thought about it, then I won't hide it from you!" "The Daimyo of Thunder Country admitted, "Yes! The people of Konoha have indeed come to me!"
"The reason why I asked you to come to the Daimyo Mansion at this time is that in addition to the fact that all the officials of the Daimyo Mansion want to end the war between the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village and Konoha, there is also the reason why Konoha sent people to lobby!"
Hearing the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder admitting, the faces of the four generations of Thunder Shadow changed, and he asked, "My lord, that means that the peace between the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village and Konoha is imperative?"
"Thunder Shadow, the peace between the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village and Konoha is imperative!" said the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder affirmatively, "Yesterday, the first time you came to me, I asked the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village if there was a way to reverse the current unfavorable situation, and you told me that there was no way!"
"In that case, then I can't let the Thunder Country continue to spoil!"
"Thunder Shadow, let's say, what do you have to do to be willing to let the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village negotiate peace with Konoha?"
"My lord, since you have made up your mind, then I won't stop it!" said the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow, "But before the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village and Konoha negotiate peace, I need Konoha to return the Hiwa Yuki people first!"
"Thunder Shadow, you're talking about the two pillars of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, right?" asked the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder.
"Yes!" said the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow, "My lord, Bi and Yugi are the two pillars of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village!"
"Thunder Shadow, could it be that the two people of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, Zhuli, were captured by Konoha?" Hearing that the four generations of Thunder Shadow confirmed his guess, the face of the Daimyo of Thunder Country suddenly became gloomy and asked.
"My lord, that's true!" said the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow.
Knowing that the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village had lost all of its human pillar power, the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder was surprisingly angry.
Therefore, the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder asked: "Thunder Shadow, how did you lead the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, and actually let the two pillars of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village be captured by Konoha, don't you think you are ashamed!"
"This is simply a dereliction of duty!"
In fact, this is not to blame the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder for his anger, the tailed beast possessed by the five great powers is not only a strategic weapon, but also a political symbol to measure the status of a great power.
The political significance was especially important for the daimyo β after all, the daimyo was the political head of the country.
"My lord, this is indeed my dereliction of duty!" the fourth generation of Lei Ying said frankly.
"Forget it!" said the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder, "Thunder Shadow, since the two pillars of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village have been captured by Konoha, it won't help if I talk about it now!"
"Come with me, I'll take you to meet the guests from Konoha and talk to the guests from Konoha in person when the time comes!"
"I see!" said the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow.
Hearing that the four generations of Thunder Shadow understood their words, the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder got up and walked outside.
But when the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder had just taken two steps, as if he had thought of something, he stopped again.
Then, the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder turned to the four generations of Thunder Shadow and said, "Thunder Shadow, when you meet with Konoha's guests, I hope you can restrain your temper!"
"Don't get angry casually!"
"I see!" said the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow.
Seeing this, the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder also walked towards the place where the Konoha guests were waiting with the four generations of Thunder Shadows.
β¦β¦
ββββββββββ
An unknown hut in the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Thunder.
When the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder walked in with the four generations of Thunder Shadows, everyone who was talking in the hut stood up to greet them.
After greeting each other, everyone in the hut took their seats.
As soon as it fell, the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow said to the leader of Konoha's side: "Patriarch Nara, Yunyin Ninja Village is willing to negotiate peace with Konoha, but before making peace, Konoha needs to show his sincerity in negotiating peace!"
"After all, when Konoha sent people to the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village not long ago to negotiate peace matters, he lacked the sincerity he deserved!"
"Then I wonder what kind of peace sincerity does Lord Thunderkage-sama want Konoha to show?" asked Nara Shikahisa.
"Patriarch Nara, Konoha should release the captured ninjas of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village!" said the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow.
"Lord Thunder Shadow, this is no problem!" Hearing this, Nara Shikahisa thought for a moment and agreed, "But when Konoha releases the captured Yunyin Ninja Village ninjas, your Cloud Hidden Ninja Village also needs to release the captured Konoha ninjas at the same time!"
"Of course, in order to show sincerity, Konoha is willing to do it in a one-to-two way - that is, for every Konoha ninja released in the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, Konoha will release two Cloud Hidden Ninja Village ninjas!"
"As for the one-to-two release of the ninjas from their respective villages, if there are still any remaining ninjas in the hands of the other party, a solution will be negotiated in the process of peace negotiation!"
Speaking of this, Nara Shikahisa asked, "Thunder Shadow, what do you think of the method I proposed?"
"Yes!" the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow first agreed, and then said, "But when Konoha releases the ninjas of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, I need to designate the list of the ninjas of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village that Konoha will release!"
As soon as he heard that the four generations of Thunder Shadow were going to personally designate the list of ninjas from the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village that Konoha had to release the captives, Nara Shikaku suddenly realized that the four generations of Thunder Shadow wanted to take the opportunity of releasing the captives to make Konoha hand over the eight-tailed human pillar force and the two-tailed human pillar force of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village!
After understanding the wishful thinking of the four generations of Thunder Shadows, considering that it was not appropriate to reject the proposal of the four generations of Thunder Shadows of Cloud Hidden Ninja Village on the spot, Nara Shikaku's eyes rolled, and there was a solution in an instant.
Looking at the four generations of Thunder Shadow, Nara Shikahisa said: "Lord Thunder Shadow, when Konoha releases the ninjas of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, you can designate the list of the ninjas of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village that Konoha has captured to release!"
"But in a one-to-two manner, the list of ninjas captured by the Konoha released by the Konoha Village you designated should be of equal value to the Konoha ninjas released by the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village!"
With just such a sentence, Nara Shikahisa eliminated the wishful thinking of the four generations of Thunder Shadow invisibly - not to mention that the Konoha ninjas captured by the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village were fewer than the ninjas captured by Konoha Village, taking the value of the Konoha ninjas captured by the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, among the Konoha ninjas captured by the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, none of the Konoha ninjas could be worth the eight-tailed human pillar power and the two-tailed human pillar force of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village.
The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow is not a person with a stiff head - after Nara Shikahisa finished speaking, the four generations of Thunder Shadow pondered it carefully in their hearts, combined with the purpose hidden in their words, and immediately understood the meaning of Nara Shikaku's words.
Knowing that Nara Shikaku saw through the hidden purpose of his words, and understood the potential meaning of Nara Shikahisa's words, the four generations of Thunder Shadow knew that it was impossible to achieve their own wishes by continuing to detour around the bend and fight ambushes - in this aspect of using words to stun the opponent to achieve the goal, the four generations of Thunder Shadow knew that Nara Shikaku's means were much higher than his own.
Therefore, the four generations of Thunder Shadow said bluntly: "Patriarch Nara, I won't go around in circles with you, but I'll tell my purpose straight to the point - if Konoha wants to make peace with the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, then Konoha must first release my righteous brother and Yugiren!"
Hearing that the four generations of Thunder Shadow only fought once and bluntly said their original intentions, not at all like the back and forth of the previous negotiation opponents, Nara Lujiu was stunned at first, and then reacted - Nara Lujiu obviously thought of the temperament of the four generations of Thunder Shadow.
Although such an occasion was not suitable to refuse the wishes of the four generations of Thunder Shadow, considering the current situation of the Eight-Tailed Human Pillar Force and the Two-Tailed Human Pillar Force of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, Nara Shikahisa still flatly refused: "Lord Thunder Shadow, this is impossible!"
"Patriarch Nara, since this is the case, then our Cloud Hidden Ninja Village will have nothing to talk about with you Konoha!" Hearing Nara Lujiu's refusal, the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow said angrily.
"Lord Thunder Shadow, if you want Konoha to release the eight-tailed human pillar power and two-tailed human pillar power of Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, you must be concerned about the eight-tailed and two-tailed beasts of Cloud Hidden Ninja Village!" Nara Shikaku said.
Hearing this, the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow said: "I care about the Eight Tails and Two Tails of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, but I also care about the Ratio and Yugi people!"
"Lord Thunderkage, I can tell you for sure that Konoha doesn't own the Eight Tails and Two Tails of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village!" said Nara Shikaku.
"Patriarch Nara, what do you mean by that?" asked the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow.
"Lord Thunderkage, I mean to say that the Eight Tails and Two Tails of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village are not in Konoha hands!" said Nara Shikahisa.
Hearing Nara Shikahisa say this, the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow asked, "Patriarch Nara, isn't it your Konoha who had an accident with Yukito?"
"Lord Thunder Shadow, the accident of the Eight-Tailed Pillar Force and the Two-Tailed Pillar Force of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village is indeed our Konoha move!" "Nara Shikahisa, who knew that the ambush of the reinforcements of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village could not be concealed, said calmly, "But this does not mean that our Konoha has the Eight Tails and Two Tails of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village in our hands!"
"You know, we Konoha don't covet tailed beasts!"
"Otherwise, during the reign of the first Hokage, Konoha would not have distributed the tailed beasts gathered in his hands to various countries!"
Nara's remarks not only explained that the two tails and eight tails of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village were not in Konoha's hands, but also pointed out the idea that Konoha did not regather the tailed beasts, and also pointed out the fact that the tailed beasts of various countries were given by Konoha.
Hearing the meaning of Nara's words, whether it was the four generations of Thunder Shadow, or the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder, or even the high-level officials of the Land of Thunder, they were all puzzled.
"Since Konoha doesn't have the idea of regathering the tailed beasts, and the two tails and eight tails of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village are not in Konoha's hands, where are the two tails and eight tails of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village?" asked the Daimyo of Thunder Country, "Patriarch Nara, can you help me solve my doubts?"
"Patriarch Nara, since you said that Konoha didn't hold the Eight Tails and Two Tails of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village in his hands, then please tell us about the current situation of Hi and Yugi!" said the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow.
"Yes, yes, the two tails and eight tails of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village are very important to us, and we ask the Nara patriarch to teach us!"
"Patriarch Nara, we are very sincere in negotiating peace, don't let this trivial matter delay the peace negotiation process between us!"
"Patriarch Nara, you ......"
β¦β¦
The other high-ranking officials of the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Thunder also echoed and asked.
