Chapter 168: Peace Talks Begin

The hall is circular and wide, at least the size of a football field, with a corridor around it. The walls, www.biquge.info tables and chairs, are a solemn beige, which is very different from the gray tones of the rest of the castle.

In the center of the hall, there is a U-shaped conference table, the incandescent lamp shines on the smooth tabletop, reflecting a white light like snow, and on the left and right sides of the round table, there are two curtains, on which are written the two big characters "water" and "fire".

"This is the third Hokage-sama of Konoha, Mr. Sarutobi Sasuke. Ise Mamoru stood in the middle and introduced.

"The name of the ninja professor, the kid has heard of it for a long time, and it's the kid's honor to finally see the truth today. Yakura laughed.

"This is Mizukage-sama, the fourth generation of Kirigaku, Yakura. Isemori's palm swept to Yakura's side.

"Sure enough, it's a young man, but I didn't expect the fourth generation of Mizukage to be a young man. The three Hokages sighed as if appreciatively.

"Fortunately, the third Hokage-sama. With a spring smile on his face, Yakura did not have the slightest stage fright, even though it was his first appearance at an international conference, and despite facing an old man who had held the power of the most powerful power for nearly thirty years.

"Fortunately. ”

An old man and a young man, the two held hands together.

After shaking hands, Yakura turned to smile and said, "Uchiha Akiu, we meet again." ”

One of the legendary three ninjas, the representative of Konoha's highest combat power, Orochimaru was actually gorgeously ignored by him.

Mingyu smiled: "Congratulations on becoming the fourth generation of Mizukage, I wish Wuyin will get better and better under your rule." ”

Yakura smiled slightly—the smile looked subtle, but the sparkle in his eyes seemed to tell Mingyu: I am already a big step ahead of you.

Elder Haruma, who was standing behind the table, saw the relaxed smile on the face of the three generations of Hokage, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Could it be that Amamiya Shiwa has failed?"

"Then sit down, please. ”

The two sat back under the curtain, and Ise Mamoru also sat behind the table in the middle of the conference table, looked at both sides, and solemnly announced, "The post-war peace talks meeting between Konoha and Kirigakure has officially begun!"

At the beginning of the meeting, everyone's expressions were very serious, and even Orochimaru, who had always been careless, smiled at this time and made a serious expression.

At this moment, they no longer represent individuals and no longer belong to individuals, but represent the village and the country. At this moment, their personal grievances and ideological tendencies must be put aside to serve the collective behind them.

The so-called post-war peace talks, in other words, are a ramp-and-roll conference, in which the victorious and defeated countries fight each other for their own interests. At the heart of the interest is the war reparations.

Of course, as a ninja Omura, in addition to the secular level of war reparations, there are two things worth fighting for: one is the forbidden art, and the other is the ownership of the tailed beast.

However, Konoha's advantage is actually not too big - excluding the three generations of Mizukage, although it is the victorious country, Konoha will only expel the Fog Hide, unless the army directly hits the Water Country mainland and surrounds the Fog Hidden Village. If the three generations of Mizukage were not captured, but killed, then, the post-war peace talks would not have been held so soon, and perhaps Kirikure would not have cared about Konoha's attitude at all, and would not even admit that he was defeated.

Anyway, the land of water hangs overseas, and Konoha still has a border war, so he has no time to take care of the fog.

But after the three generations of Mizukage were captured, the situation was very different, firstly, it was about the face of the mist, and the leader was imprisoned, which was almost the greatest shame of a military organization, and it was more uncomfortable than defeat;

Intelligence and ninjutsu are the secrets of the ninja military organization's survival, and once it is known by the enemy country, it is equivalent to being exposed to the sun, which is extremely dangerous.

As a result, Kirihide had to agree to Konoha to send an invitation to negotiate.

Because of this, the three generations of Hokage will award the A-level merit scroll to Mingyu, and the high-level officials led by Danzang and have always regarded Uchiha as a big confidant have no objections. For Konoha, the contribution of the captive three generations of Mizukage was too great, giving Konoha a great advantage at the negotiating table.

However, in the final analysis, Konoha's army did not occupy the territory of the fog after all, and did not threaten the survival of the fog, so it is impossible to re-use the tailed beast as a condition for negotiation, even if it is a forbidden technique, the fog may not necessarily agree.

Therefore, the focus of the dispute between the two sides is the war reparations.

The condition proposed by Konoha was two billion silver taels, but Wu Yin did not agree for the following reasons: first, two billion silver taels is almost two years of Wu Yin's income, which is too exaggerated;

They believe that Konoha as a victorious country has an excellent geographical location and the strongest economic power among the ninja villages, and should no longer be forcibly deprived of other countries. As the strongest power, it should be broad-minded, take into account the difficulties of other countries, and minimize reparations - preferably by waiving war reparations.

They started with geography, history, etc.

――This is not without reason, since the establishment of the village, Konoha has always been far ahead of the other four ninja villages, whether it is military, political or economic strength, it is the strongest in the ninja world. Therefore, in terms of diplomatic relations, since the first Hokage distributed the Tailed Beast to the Four Great Powers, Konoha has always maintained a generous demeanor as a great power.

The fog is clearly a trick, and it doesn't make sense logically.

After listening, the three generations of Hokage were still silent, and Mingyu couldn't help but sigh shamelessly in his heart, although he also advocated being as lenient as possible with the fog, but the shameless attitude of the fog was still beyond his expectations.

This could not have been Yakura's assertion - or rather, Yakura could not have come up with such a brazen reason, and only the scheming Elder Haruma could have proposed such a negotiation plan.

However, after Yakura ascended to the position of Mizukage, he obviously also learned the skills of a leader, and he was very talkative, "arguing with reason", and messing around.

Naturally, Konoha would not agree, and the terminology and official words came and went, and they couldn't argue. Mingyu listened drowsily, and Orochimaru closed his eyes, and the old god was there, obviously absent-minded.

Two hours later, just as Mingyu was about to doze off, Isemoru announced that the negotiations had come to an end and that he would take a half-hour break before starting the second round of negotiations.

The three generations of Hokage pushed away the chair and walked out expressionlessly, Orochimaru and Mingyu followed, and when Mingyu turned around, he clearly saw Yaha's narrow eyes.
