Chapter 49: Post-war negotiations with the sand ninja
Xue Hui created the appearance of the Six Immortals on the Ice Mirror for the second time.
The reality of the Nine-Tails' eyes changed from anticipation to joy, and suddenly his face changed, and in the end, only loss remained.
This was the first time Xue Hui had seen such a rich change in the face of the Nine-Tails, which made him feel very strange.
"It's strange, isn't this just an ice sculpture head, why are the nine tails so concerned?"
Xue Hui didn't know that on that night, the six immortal ice sculptures that he called mediocre and just used to scare the Nine-Tails really 'came to life' in front of the Nine-Tails for a moment.
This scene, which only the Nine-Tails saw, contributed to his final obedient seal, and his relationship with Mito changed greatly from the original book.
Xu is Nine-Tails also felt that it was a luxury to be able to see the Six Dao Immortals again, and this time it was just an attempt with reluctance. After accepting this reality again and calming down, the Nine-Tails no longer had any expectations for seeing the Six Dao Immortals again.
Nine-Tails waved his front paws, and the ice mirror was easily destroyed, and then he stretched his head towards Xue Hui, two huge eyes looking at him.
"Yukiki, after Mito, can you be my human pillar?"
Xue Hui was stunned for a moment, a trace of joy flashed on his surprised face, but then he shook his head and refused.
"I'm sorry, according to the agreement left by Uncle Tsuruma, you can only choose Konoha people to become your human pillar power, and although I do have the idea of becoming your human pillar force, it's a pity that I can't join Konoha either."
Hearing Xue Hui's decisive refusal, the nine-tailed fox showed a look of loss on his face very humanely.
"But, Nine Lamas, I have a certain right to help you choose the most satisfactory candidate at that time, I think she will get along well with you!"
Xue Hui assured the Nine-Tails with a smile.
"Really......"
Nine-Tails' mood is still not high.
"Ice Escape, Blowing Snow!"
Seeing the Nine-Tails like this, Xue Hui sealed with one hand and summoned a burst of ice and snow to blow towards the Nine-Tails.
"Shhh
The nine-tails were frozen, and looked at the initiator Xue Hui with dissatisfaction.
"It's nothing, you're a tailed beast, why bother with this kind of thing, as the strongest tailed beast, you should be qualified to negotiate with Konoha on your behalf, so that they can understand that the tailed beast is not an item that can be used at will!"
Xue Hui enlightened the Nine-Tails while also mixing in some 'private goods'.
Fortunately, the only Konoha ninja present was the current Pillar Force of the Nine-Tails, and Mito, who got along well with the Nine-Tails, actually cared for the Nine-Tails as his junior, and of course did not want to see the Nine-Tails suffer unfair treatment after his death.
"Haha, you're right! The old man is nine-tailed! A presence that terrifies those ants! ”
Inspired by Xue Hui like this, the Nine-Tails suddenly changed back to that arrogant appearance, and the fox grinned.
Then, Nine-Tails' smile flickered, and his entire huge body shrank rapidly, and finally changed back to Mito's appearance.
Mito slowly opened his closed eyes, ignoring the nine-tails who were still making noise inside, and said with a smile to Xue Hui:
"It's not too early, let's go back too, and we have to send an envoy to discuss the time of negotiation with the sand ninja! I hope that the wind shadow that was affected by the tailed beast jade will wake up soon! ”
Mito said this, but he didn't feel any guilt about the wind shadow at all, after all, it was the other party who launched the attack unreasonably.
"Okay, auntie, I think the Nine Lamas must be very restless now!"
Xue Hui covered her mouth and smiled.
"He, don't pay attention to him, just dry him for a while."
Mito shook his head helplessly.
The two of them ran towards Kikyo Mountain.
……
After the constant exchange of envoys between the two sides, of course, the camps on both sides were not very far away, and finally two days later, Xue Hui learned the news of Kazekage's awakening.
Sand Shinobi has a backbone again, and the communication after that is much faster, and after another day, the wind shadow who has regained his mobility proposes to have peace talks as soon as possible.
In this regard, Xue Hui also couldn't ask for it, after all, he didn't know how the war between the other two sides was going in this period of long and short days.
On the afternoon of the day that Shamen put forward the proposal for peace talks, high-level officials on both sides held talks in an open space between the two sides.
Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the wind shadow wrapped in bandages, Xue Hui did not mean to make any concessions in the talks, and pointed to the low combat power of the current Sand Ninja, so as to make the Sand Ninja withdraw unconditionally.
Naturally, Shamen would not agree, explaining that if Konoha did not provide enough resources in exchange, Sand Shinobi would keep holding back the troops on Xuehui's side and preventing them from supporting other battlefields.
The first day of peace talks ended inconclusively as the two sides opened their mouths to each other.
In this regard, both sides actually understand that this is just a basic means of negotiation, but Shamen feels a little strange that Xue Hui is so young, but he seems to be very mature in these political treatments.
The peace talks on the second day really began to push forward the progress, and the two sides also compromised with each other.
At this time, Xue Hui unexpectedly asked Shamen.
"Since yesterday, you seem to be taking the requirements for resources such as baggage very seriously, as if you are going to move on to the next battle, am I right!"
Ignoring the change in the expression of the sand ninja, Xue Hui guessed to himself.
"Since it's impossible to still say to Konoha, except for Iwa Shinobi, there is only Rain Shinobi left. No more hiding, let's be honest, so that neither side needs to continue to procrastinate here. ”
Xue Hui looked at Shamen with confidence.
After a moment of silence, Shamen said in a deep voice:
"You're right, our goal from the beginning was the rainy Rain Ninja Village, and attacking you Konoha is just a cover-up and testing whether the newly developed technique can be used in the next battle."
"Now that the words have been spoken, it will be easy to do, and we in Konoha can make concessions and provide you with half of the baggage to attack the Rain Ninja Village. But in exchange you will need to sign a non-aggression pact and an agreement to open up trade and exchanges between the two villages after the war. ”
Xue Hui said the conditions on Konoha's side.
Shamen thought for a moment and continued to probe: "What about other resources? ”
"Don't think about it, how can you say that you are also the losing side to us now, I think I am sincere enough, Konoha is now willing to provide you with these burdens is already the limit, you won't know the consumption of the three-way war!"
Xue Hui retorted unceremoniously.
"If it weren't for the reluctance of our daimyo to provide more funding, I wouldn't have repeatedly asked for more supplies."
Shamen shook his head helplessly.
"Well, so be it, after all, neither of us has any time to waste here, do we?"
Shamen eventually agreed to Xuehui's terms.
"Then, the agreement is settled!"
Yukiki and Shamen stepped forward and held out their hands to shake them, symbolizing the end of the battle between Konoha and Sand Shinobi.
