Tobirama crossed his arms and sat on the chair, his eyes not changing at all.
His voice was steady and his tone was calm.
It seems to be telling something that is perfectly justified.
However……
Except for Mifune, the expressions of representatives from other countries changed one after another.
Some people's eyes widened in shock, as if they had heard something terrible.
In fact, the representatives of these countries knew very well that they were not in the same camp as the Hidden Leaf Village.
Even if they want to surrender to the Land of Fire, their psychology will be resistant to Konoha, Zephyr, and Tobirama.
If I had to say it, they were actually on the same side as Mifune.
When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.
If Mifune accepts Tobirama's conditions like this, it will be difficult for them to refuse.
Based on the principle of lip-destroying and tooth-shredding, they all spoke up for Mifune without waiting for Mifune to speak.
"This seems inappropriate, doesn't it? Although the Kingdom of Iron wants to surrender to the Kingdom of Fire and the Wind, the Kingdom of Iron is an ally of the Kingdom of Fire before that, isn't it?"
"Don't you think it's a bit excessive to treat your allies with such conditions?"
"Samurai are not only a culture of the Iron Kingdom, but also a symbol of the Iron Kingdom. What's more, the hometowns of these warriors are all Iron Kingdoms. Don't you think it is too inhumane to drive them out of their homes so wantonly? ?"
The representatives of each small country spoke to each other, as if Tobirama had really said something treacherous.
"I also think such conditions are a bit harsh."
When the voice of the representative of the small country gradually disappeared, Qingshi from Yanyin Village slowly spoke.
Before coming to the Iron Country, he had participated in the highest-level meeting of Iwagakure Village.
No matter it’s an elder or anyone else.
The attitude they hold is to gain control of Iwagakure Village as much as possible.
On the surface, he submits to Konoha, but in fact, he is still the power of Iwagakure Village.
this is the best.
Now I hear that Tobirama wants Mifune to disband the samurai.
These samurai were even asked to go to Konoha.
In his heart, he couldn't help but start to worry that Tobirama would treat Iwagakure with the same attitude and conditions.
As a representative sent by Yanyin Village, I must not let this position back down.
At least Qingshi himself doesn't want to back down.
"I think we can let the samurai take charge of the security of the Iron Kingdom."
"This is their hometown, their home."
“Their love for this land will undoubtedly be stronger than any other person’s.”
"No one will be more serious and work hard to maintain peace here than them."
Qingshi met Tobirama's gaze with firm eyes and a sonorous voice.
"well said!"
"As expected of a representative of a big country, what he said was really wonderful."
"I also agree with what Mr. Qingshi said."
For a time, the entire conversation was directed towards Qingshi.
It seems that what bluestone represents is justice.
However……
Who is Tobirama?
The second Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village.
He not only perfected Konoha's various systems.
In the first ninja war, he led the ninjas to repel the invasion of outsiders.
The most important thing is that Tobirama is a person who died once.
This kind of experience, coupled with his already strong character.
Even though everyone present opposed his opinion.
There won't be any fluctuation in his heart.
even……
Tobirama patiently listened to everyone's words, the corners of his mouth raised, and he burst into laughter.
It felt like hearing a funny joke.
"You guys."
"Don't you think that the outcome of this negotiation requires your vote to finalize the result?"
In an instant, the scene suddenly became quiet.
The expressions of representatives from each country changed slightly.
Because everyone can hear that Tobirama's words are full of sarcasm.
"You are worthy of being a representative of a great country."
"Stop joking."
"There is only one big country in the ninja world today, and that is the Land of Fire."
"The country of earth and the country of water are nothing but strong on the outside and weak on the inside."
"If Iwagakure really has the courage of a great nation, then it shouldn't come here to negotiate with the mentality of surrender."
"But..."
Tobirama paused deliberately and emphasized his tone, "I took the initiative to declare war on Konoha."
As he spoke, Tobirama's eyes scanned a circle of representatives from small countries.
"And you guys, if you have any dissatisfaction with our Konoha, you can declare war."
"We are willing to stay with you until the end."
There is no doubt that Tobirama's words simply crushed the faces of the people present and the face of their country to the ground.
In fact, Tobirama didn't care at all whether to unify the ninja world through peaceful means or force.
Even considering future development.
Tobirama actually felt that the second way would be better.
It was only out of humanitarian considerations that he hoped to avoid strife.
However, looking at the attitudes of several people, they couldn't figure it out.
As well as the corners of their mouths, Tobirama responded rudely.
The results can be imagined.
Tobirama's somewhat contemptuous attitude naturally angered everyone.
but……
Everyone here is neither a fool nor a madman.
No matter how angry and dissatisfied I feel.
Nor did they have a fit on the spot.
Once he declares war on Konoha regardless of the consequences.
Then what awaits them.
Definitely a family ruined.
Moreover, except for Yanyin Village, which has sufficient combat power, other small countries are not as strong as Yanyin Village even if they are added together.
Let alone facing a behemoth like Konoha.
What's more, even Qingshi didn't have an attack.
How could these outsiders who are good at observing words and emotions break out?
Qingshi gritted his teeth hard, feeling extremely angry.
Even the veins on his forehead are bulging one by one.
If looks could kill, then right now he was tearing Tobirama into pieces.
However, he can only think about it in his own mind now.
In the end, Qingshi resisted the urge.
I chose to shut up.
At the same time, he focused his attention on Mifune.
I hope this person involved can say something.
Change Tobirama's mind.
But what no one expected was...
Mifune was actually much calmer than them.
"Mr. Tobirama."
Mifune said calmly, "If a samurai from the Iron Kingdom goes to Konoha, how will they be treated?"
No matter how you say it, the warriors of the Iron Country are his subordinates and his former people.
If these warriors can have a good home.
It’s not that I can’t accept it.
Tobirama thought for a moment.
Although Zefeng didn't tell him how to deal with the samurai, as the second generation Hokage, Tobirama was never a person without his own opinions.
"If they want, they can stay in Konoha and join the ANBU."
"If you don't want to stay in Konoha, you can return to the Kingdom of Iron."
"but……"
"Once they choose to come back, they cannot live as samurai."
"They can do business and do various jobs in the Iron Kingdom."
"They can even take the garrison exam if they have the idea."
It is worth mentioning that……
Although the Konoha Guard was a department established by Tobirama, it was reformed by Zephyr after Zephyr appeared.
Although this is very different from Tobirama's original intention, it has to be admitted that the Konoha Guard after being reformed by Zephyr is indeed more reasonable and fair than they were at that time.
"Mifune, you have been to Konoha, so you should know about the security team, right?"
Tobirama asked back.
"Guard team?" Mifune raised his eyebrows. He had also heard Zefeng talk about the security team.
"Knowing a little bit, it seems like exams are held every year."
"The main content includes two parts: written examination and physical examination."
"Those with the highest final scores can participate in the interview."
"Only those who pass various tests can become a member of the police force."
Although at first, Mifune didn't understand why Zephyr went to such trouble to select members of the guard.
But after Zefeng explained, he understood.
The purpose of this is to eliminate opportunists.
In order to improve the overall quality of the police force.
Only in this way can the stability of the village be ensured.
He also fully agreed with Zefeng's understanding.
At the same time, Mifune also heard what Tobirama meant from his words.
"I see."
"Konoha plans to establish police departments in various regions after the ninja world is unified, right?"
"The purpose of taking away the samurai is to avoid conflicts between the samurai and the police?"
Hearing this, Tobirama nodded, indicating that Mifune had a good idea.
"Now that the ninja world has been unified, all places are one country."
"Then there will be no foreign invasion."
"The duty of the samurai is to ensure the territorial integrity and unity of the country. But without foreign invasion, the duty of the samurai will lose its meaning."
"On the contrary, it will hinder the police force's law enforcement because of its inherent sense of superiority."
"Correct methods and correct governance can ensure the stability of a region."
"One guard is enough."
"Besides..."
Tobirama paused and continued: "It's not like these samurai can't come back. If they can pass the garrison exam, they can still join the garrison."
"We in Konoha will not take away anyone's right to do anything right."
"On the contrary, we will continue to maintain it. This is also the greatest significance of the unification of the ninja world."
Tobirama said loudly.
And after Tobirama's assurance.
Mifune also felt relieved in his heart.
"I see."
Mifune took a deep breath, "If that's the case, then I can accept Konoha's conditions."
However, when answering, Mifune deliberately used Konoha's conditions.
Rather than talking about Tobirama's conditions.
"Mr. Mifune, are you sure?"
"No way, Mr. Mifune, do you really want to leave the security here to others?"
"Maybe Konoha will have an unspoken way to kick samurai out of the police force."
When the other small countries saw that Mifune agreed to the conditions proposed by Tobirama, they became more and more anxious.
but……
No matter what they said or how they acted, Mifune's thoughts never wavered.
He glanced at a few people, then shook his head slightly.
"This is the best outcome."
"You don't really think you have any choice, do you?"
"With Konoha's strength, they can completely overwhelm our country."
"Occupy our land."
"But instead of doing that, they sat down and negotiated with us."
“Listen to our ideas.”
"Accept our terms."
"This is already a very good thing."
Mifune said without thinking.
And these words also blocked the mouths of all the representatives of the small countries, leaving them stunned for a moment.
Don't know how to refute.
Immediately afterwards...
Representatives from Xingyin Village agreed.
"We can also accept Konoha's conditions. On the contrary, I hope that the village can be governed by our own people."
Hearing this, Tobirama smiled and said, "It's absolutely fine."
"Not only yes, we will also provide education and medical assistance to your village."
"To put it simply, it means building schools and hospitals in your villages."
I have to say, Tobirama's words are simply outrageous.
For these small countries, what they lack most are resources and economy.
Things like schools and hospitals are simply unthinkable.
even……
After Tobirama finished speaking, the representative of Hoshiyakure Village stood up with a sigh.
He pressed his hands on the table and his eyes were bigger than a cow's eyes.
"Is what you said true?"
In fact, not only him, but also the representatives of other small countries were dumbfounded.
"Absolutely true."
Tobirama paused for a moment, then simply told the Japanese wind's nine-year compulsory education plan, as well as the plan for the medical insurance card.
First of all, these two plans are what small countries long for.
Secondly, these representatives will also return to their respective villages.
Spread the word about what's happening today.
If the nine-year compulsory education is made public.
It will also be very convenient for their future arrangements.
The results can be imagined.
The representative of Hoshigakure Village couldn't wait to shout, "If Konoha can really do it, we are willing to accept the conditions and submit to the Country of Fire."
As the representative of Xingyin Village blurted out.
The representative of Xueyin Village could not control his emotions.
Anyway, he didn't feel that his country could resist Konoha's invasion from the beginning.
Now with these benefits.
It's better to agree.
"We in Xueyin Village are also willing to accept such conditions."
Suddenly, more and more people took the initiative to agree to Tobirama's conditions.
Expressed his willingness to submit to Konoha.
Such a situation made Qingshi extremely helpless.
Even after everyone finished speaking, Qingshi's heart would thump.
In just a few minutes, all his "partners" who were still on a united front with him turned against him.
"So……"
Tobirama saw that the representatives of the small country were willing to accept the conditions, so he turned to look at Qingshi, "Where is the answer from Iwagakure Village?"
"Should you accept our terms, or declare war on us?"
Tobirama asked loudly.
The room became quiet again.
