Chapter 38 Contract Contents
As for the content of the contract to be discussed, it is actually very simple.
At the end of the war, the two countries sued for peace, which was nothing more than the following-
First, whether the land is ceded.
Second, the amount of war reparations.
Third, the issue of prisoner exchange.
Fourth, the question of the independence of the subject state.
Fifth, economic and trade issues between countries and cities.
Sixth, the issue of the garrison of the army (ninja).
Although the Fire Nation is the world's largest power, it has always maintained a relaxed policy on foreign issues.
Before leaving, the three Hokages instructed Orochimaru to discuss on the premise of "peace" as much as possible, implying that under the premise of equality, the conditions for the land country could be appropriately reduced. In addition, Orochimaru was not interested in political strife, so the content of the contract was quickly decided.
Not much to say about the issues of land, indemnities, prisoner exchange, and army stationing, since it was the land country that came on its own initiative, these clauses were hastily skipped.
On the issue of the independence of the subject state, the Fire Country demands: The Land of Earth must recognize the independence of the Grass Country.
The country of grass was previously one of the vassal states of the country of the earth, and it paid tribute and worship to the country of the earth all year round, and also provided logistics for it during the war. As an existence in the gap between the two great powers, the position of the country of grass is quite awkward. Therefore, in order to prolong the validity period of "peace", it is necessary to make the country of grass independent.
Finally, on the economic and trade issues of the two countries -
This question is crucial.
Because, when Orochimaru thinks of his future movies and e-sports careers, he refuses to give in on this one.
"Expand the authority of the trading city, reduce or reduce tariffs, and allow investment to set up factories?" Hunting on the side, after hearing Orochimaru's condition, when even jumped up.
"What are you kidding, this kind of condition will never be agreed!"
The momentum of the Explosive Ninja surged out at this moment.
The four-tailed man on the left, Zhu Li Lao Zi, also had his eyes squinted, staring at the Great Snake Pill tightly.
His body was covered with the tailed beast chakra, and the naked eye could see that the aura was pervasive, and the rage was almost raging.
Seeing this, the three dark ninjas on both sides of Orochimaru, Kakashi, Umataro, and Hinata Xunyi, suddenly turned grim, stepped forward, and confronted him.
At this moment, the atmosphere froze.
"Perhaps, you should understand...... Peace is never equal. β
In the face of the enemy ninja's arrows, Orochimaru was calm and took a sip of the teacup in front of him.
"But...... This clause is too unequal. After a short silence, Loess slowly spoke, breaking the frozen atmosphere, "In the previous two ninja wars, there was never such a regulation in the contract. Both of our countries want peace...... So, is it okay to take a step back? β
Expand trade authority, reduce or exempt tariffs, and allow investment to set up factories.
This seems like a few contracts...... However, Loess understands that once it is really signed, the future of the Land Country will face the economic aggression of the Fire Country, and the capital output will be further increased. Over the years, the economic gap between the two countries will become wider.
The economic level and military level represent the national strength, and the Fire Nation is strong enough, and these terms will feed this tiger to be more fierce and strong.
Loess still has illusions in his heart, hoping that the land of fire will still be as relieved for peace as in the past.
"There are no concessions."
It's a pity that Orochimaru's words shattered his illusion with a gentle word.
"If no agreement can be reached, then war will start again." Orochimaru's slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, and his expression was still faint between his words, "As my subordinates said, the power of the Fire Nation is still strong, and we are not afraid of war...... Not necessarily. β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"Is there something wrong with Orochimaru's brain?" Xun Yi behind him quietly asked Mei Taro.
Mei Taro didn't quite understand either, frowned and shook his head: "I don't know, maybe the adults are considerate...... Our task is only to do a good job of guarding. β
"Be careful, the other party is already mobilizing Chakra."
Kakashi's voice rang from the side, and at this moment, he had taken off his mask, and his scarlet writing wheel eyes were revealed, shining with a strange brilliance.
The atmosphere became more and more solidified, and if there was a disagreement between the two sides, there was a tendency to fight.
"Hmph, I have long seen that the Fire Country is not a good bird, and what are you talking to them!"
Hunter Leng on the side of the Earth Country snorted, preemptively struck, his hands condensed Chakra, his fists clenched, and he struck in the direction of Orochimaru!
"Good time!"
Hinata Xunyi's eyes lit up, she was a hot person, and she was already impatient in the discussion just now.
Seeing the other party calling, the little girl immediately opened her eyes, her forehead burst out, her beautiful big eyes suddenly opened, she raised her palm, and rushed towards the opposite side.
What is Ninja? Ninjas are going to fight!
This kind of talking thing is suitable for ninjas?
However, in the next moment, two voices rang out in the hallβ
"Stop!"
"Don't act rashly."
The loess stepped on the earth and came out in an instant, and his huge body blocked in front of Orochimaru.
And the search for Yi behind Orochimaru is covering her neck with her hands and grinning with her teeth - Orochimaru once again controls the curse mark and stops her actions.
"What are you doing!" Xunyi's eyes widened angrily and shouted at Orochimaru.
"Don't do stupid things." Orochimaru didn't say much, and said lightly, "I said it, just leave it to me here." β
ββ¦β¦β
"Bastard!"
Xunyi punched the ground, and the feeling of being controlled by Orochimaru made her have nowhere to vent.
"For the unreasonableness of his subordinates, the land of the country apologizes." Loess's slightly hesitant voice came, "However, the matter of the contract is still too important, I hope that the Fire Country can give us some time to think about it." β
"Yes, I'll give you three days." Orochimaru nodded.
This is the end of the negotiations between the two countries.
Orochimaru agreed, giving the land country three days to think about it.
In this regard, Loess hesitated again and again and said that he agreed. Three days was a short time, but it was enough for him to send the information back to the land of the earth for the Tsuchikage, the Elder Order, and the Daimyo to discuss.
Next, it was getting late, and the embassy of the country of grass arranged a room for the envoys of the two countries to stay temporarily.
"You idiot!"
As soon as he walked out of the hall, Hinata Xunyi made no secret of it and called out to Orochimaru.
"Things that were about to be talked about were all messed up by you. How do you go back and explain to the people of Konoha! β
That's right, although the little girl hates Orochimaru, she can't wait for him to die soon.
However, from the heart...... In fact, she didn't want Orochimaru's mission to fail, because it meant that the negotiations between the two countries had broken down, and the war was about to start evolving and intensifying. She had suffered a lot in the war, the war had cost her everything, and she didn't want it to go on like this.
