Chapter 126, Peace
With the end of the war between Iwakure and Ungakure, the previously shelved peace treaty between Iwakuin and Konoha is brought back to the negotiating table.
Although Iwakure is very united internally, due to the fact that he has just been hit hard by Yunyin, and Konoha has officially formed an ally with Sand Hide, even if the three generations of Tsuchikage Onoki want to continue to do things with Konoha, it seems a little powerless, so he has to reconsider the peace agreement proposed by Konoha.
……
In the conference room of the Hokage Building.
The three generations of Hokage and the other three Kagesuke gather together to discuss the matter of making peace with Iwakure.
On the conference table, there was a scroll, which was the reply of the three generations of Tsuchikage Onoki to the peace treaty proposed by Konoha.
"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief this time!" Mito Menitis pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and said with relief.
"Is such a treaty satisfying you?"
The one-eyed dragon Tuanzang retorted very dissatisfied,
"He actually recognized the activities of Iwain Village and gave up his right to demand compensation...... What's the difference between this and defeating a battle? ”
"Ape Fei, what do you think?" Mito Menyan ignored Danzo's whining and turned his head directly to look at Miyome.
"If you continue to fight, it will be fatal to Konoha who is already exhausted, and this is a concession that has to be made for the sake of unanimity...... "Miyome said helplessly.
Hearing what the three generations said, Tuan Zang directly smashed his fist on the conference table and said angrily,
"There are a lot of Konoha ninjas who died in this war, isn't this tantamount to sending them to death in vain?"
"The responsibility is on me, the Hokage......"
In order to stop the aggressive Danzo and give an explanation to many ninjas and their families, the third generation decided to take all the responsibility.
"And how are you going to be responsible?" Danzou half-squinted at the three generations.
"Soon it will be the next Daimyo meeting, and at that time, I will take the initiative to resign from the position of the third Hokage and give it to the fourth generation ......."
Hearing that the three generations planned to take the initiative to quit the Hokage's position, everyone was silent for a moment.
Because everyone knows that according to the current situation, either a direct war will be started, or one person will come out as a scapegoat, and this person must be three generations to be weighty, and no one can do it.
……
In a tavern in Konoha, two old friends who haven't seen each other for many years get together and are drinking here in the name of reminiscence.
"I heard that this time, our Konoha is really going to conclude a peace treaty with Iwakure." Orange Water took a sip of sake and said.
"Yes! Years of war are finally about to usher in a long-lost peace, and I don't know how long this time will last! Jiraiya, who was sitting directly across from him, replied lazily.
Peace is nothing more than a transitional period before the next war.
How binding can a piece of paper be? Were there still fewer peace agreements between World War I and World War II? The Third Ninja World War broke out as usual.
I can only hope that this peace will last a little longer!
“…… Orange Water, I heard that you directly gave up your candidacy for the position of the fourth Hokage......"
Jiraiya smiled with a flushed face, "Don't you think it's a pity?" That's the Hokage's position! ”
"We've already had two Hokages from the Thousand Hands Clan, so what's the pity!"
Orange Water, who was also red-faced, waved his hand disapprovingly, raised his wine glass and said, "And this position is not so easy to do......
As the youngest son of the first Hokage and the righteous son of the second Hokage, Orange Water is too clear about the Hokage's responsibilities, and it is simply a thankless job.
Konoha shows that it looks harmonious and harmonious, but in fact, all kinds of gladiatorial battles under the dark are not uncommon.
This is something that can't be helped, after all, the Konoha family has a big business, there are many ninja clans, and there are many factions, and there is definitely no way to take into account all aspects in the distribution of resources, and there are even more frictions and contradictions that are not put on the table, and if one is not handled properly, it will cause unnecessary disputes, bring unforeseen instability to Konoha internally, and even cause civil strife in serious cases......
How to mediate the contradictions between people, this is a technical job!
"Hmm!"
For the last point, Jiraiya nodded approvingly.
Indeed, the political struggle in the Great Ninja Village is too complicated and brain-burning, both externally and internally!
It's better to have fun in the hot spring bathhouse and the red light district.
"Having said that, I heard that among the popular candidates for the Hokage this time is your disciple Bo Feng Shuimen......
Orange Water stared at Jiraiya with ill intentions and quipped, "Why, you suddenly came back this time, shouldn't you have come to your own disciples to stand in line to help?" ”
"Hahaha!"
was exposed by the other party to his little abacus, and he laughed a little embarrassed.
Coming back suddenly this time, and living in Konoha for so long, it does mean to cheer for his disciples, after all, Bo Feng Shuimen is too young.
As for the other popular candidate, Orochimaru, it couldn't be clearer that the other party didn't have much interest in the Hokage's position at all. To be precise, it should be that the position of the Hokage is not as attractive to him as there are no scientific research experiments.
Because of this, Danzang, as one of the shadow assistants, will support Orochimaru's ascension. In this way, if Orochimaru can successfully inherit the position of Hokage, he will naturally be able to gain more political power at that time.
Just when Jiraiya and Orange Water were drinking in the dark and happy, on the street outside the gate, a haggard figure broke into the sight of the two.
"Isn't that the son of White Fang, Kakashi?"
Orange Water recognized Kakashi immediately, after all, when Nohara Rin had an accident last time, he was half a participant.
"Hmm!"
Zilai also recognized it, the other party is a disciple of Watergate, and it can be said that he is his own apprentice!
"I've also heard about this kid, two teammates who are affectionate and righteous have had an accident in front of him, so it's no wonder he was hit......"
"This is the wound of war! Let's hope this little imp can come out of this shadow on his own! ”
"By the way, Jiraiya, I heard that you have taken three disciples in the Land of Rain!"
"Oh, you know that, too?"
"Well, that's what I just knew."
Orange Water said slowly, "I heard that these three disciples of yours have set up a team near the border to help and help the local villagers resist rebellion and various thieves free of charge, and advocate a peaceful solution method of non-violence and non-force, which has won the recognition and praise of many people......
"That's it!"
Jiraiya answered half-squinted, half-drunk and half-conscious, his eyes full of pride.
It seems that the former chicks are starting to grow into eagles that can fly freely!
