Arriving at Mito Gate Flame where Kumo Gakure Village is located, the Kumo Gakure ninjas were received coldly and arranged to stay in a remote courtyard of Yunlei Gorge. A group of ANBU were also called in to serve as "guards" and Mito Gate Flame and others were prohibited from entering. The accompanying ninja under his command went out.
Regarding Kumo Gakure's rude behavior, Mito Kaden looked at it like a spring breeze blowing in his face, but secretly made a note to Kumo Gakure in his heart.
He also understood the purpose of this trip.
For the Hokage family, it doesn't matter whether the mediation can be successful or not. What is important is that Uchiha Tokimitsu and Hatake Sakumo cannot be allowed to monopolize the spotlight, and the Hokage family, which represents Konoha's orthodoxy, cannot stay out of the matter and let Uchiha Tokimitsu He Hatake Sakumo let himself go, so Sarutobi Hiruzen asked him to participate.
Before leaving the village, the third generation Hiruzen Sarutobi communicated privately with him and Koharu. The three of them agreed that although Kumogakure's ambition should not be underestimated, Uchiha Tokumitsu had evil intentions. Today's Hatake Sakumo He is not a good bird either. The relationship between Ume Ninja and Konoha is even more superficial and distant, and the interactions between Ume Ninja and Tokumitsu Shogunate are even more frequent.
Therefore, for the Hokage series, the optimal solution is to let the forces of the Tokoku shogunate and Hatake Sakumo plus Sanshouyu Hanzo's Ame Ninja Village fight against the Kumogakure barbarians. The two sides will fight to the death to lose their troops, while the Hokage series There is nothing better than sitting on a mountain and watching tigers fight.
Therefore, there was no psychological burden at all on Mito Gate's trip.
If we can talk, let's talk; if we can't, then withdraw; let both sides continue to negotiate.
If there is a chance, he can secretly instigate Yunyin to have a conflict with the Tokuguang Shogunate and the Huomen Shogunate. He only needs to sit firmly in the Chinese army's tent and watch the two thieves fight to the death.
…
At this time, Uchiha Tokumitsu was also at the Chinese army tent to welcome Sansho Hanzo, who had come from afar.
As one of the protagonists in this dispute between Lei and Yu, Sanshouyu Hanzo doesn't look too good either.
Although he was still wearing a heavy respirator, his tired eyes could still be seen through the lens.
Compared with before the war, the Rain Ninja Village, where only ten ninjas were registered, was in a state of decline.
The speed of recovery after the war was also far lower than Sanshouyu Hanzo expected.
If Uchiha Tokumitsu's mercenary mission and generous seizure share hadn't allowed the Rain Ninja Village to breathe a sigh of relief, Sanshouyu Hanzo would have ordered the ninjas in the Ninja Village to go out to "eat" in various places in the Land of Rain.
"General Tokumitsu...thank you very much this time."
Although he was anxious about the close relationship between his subordinates and the Tokumitsu Shogunate, Sansho Hanzo still maintained his consistent respect in etiquette.
Although there is a big age difference between the two, Uchiha Tokumitsu's strength is equal to his, and his power is even higher than his. Even if the rain ninja village can maintain its current situation, it also depends on the support of the Tokumitsu shogunate and the fire gate shogunate. Coupled with the kindness of this mediation, Sanshouyu Hanzo will naturally not act ignorantly.
"Mr. Hanzo, you have worked hard all the way. Please come in and take a rest. I have prepared a banquet. Let's drink fine wine together today and talk to each other~"
Uchiha Tokko was also smiling and extremely kind.
A strong man like Sansho Hanzo was a pillar of any ninja village, and Uchiha Tokimitsu also maintained the respect he deserved.
After all, she still hoped that he could have another Kirigakure conquest with him and bring out Madara Uchiha who was hiding in the dark.
"The ruins of Yu Ren have not been tidied up, so there is really nothing to repay..."
After sitting down at the table and drinking for three rounds, Sanshouyu Hanzo also said bluntly in front of all his subordinates: "If the general needs war in the future, the rain ninja will definitely go through fire and water to repay it!"
"Mr. Hanzo said something serious..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he still looked calm and composed, and said very sincerely to Sansho Hanzo and his accompanying jounin: "The Uchiha clan and the rain ninja were forged in the blood and fire of the Kirigakure battlefield. Friendship, since our allies are in trouble, how can Uchiha stand idly by?"
All the rain ninja jonin were moved to a complete mess.
Hanzo the Sansho Fish was also touched.
"Everyone in the ninja world knows that Kumogakure is arrogant, and I'm afraid they won't stop easily..."
Sanshouyu Hanzo said in a deep voice: "All the ninja troops of the Rain Ninja headquarters have been transferred to the command of General Fire Gate a few days ago. If the situation changes, the Rain Ninjas will definitely fight under the banner of the Uchiha clan!"
"Sakumo-kun and I have already discussed it, and we won't make it easy for Kumogakure this time."
Uchiha Tokumitsu laughed, and then continued to greet everyone: "Drink and drink, we just need to wait for news from Mito Gate consultant."
…
The next day, in the Raikage's office in Kumogakure Village.
"Is this the condition of Konoha?"
Although the Third Raikage's face was expressionless, his heart was as furious as a stormy sea. With a pair of giant palms, he crumpled the mediation letter handed over by Mito Kadoen into a ball.
"Is Konoha preparing to declare war on Kumogakure?"
All the Kumogakure jounin were a little confused, but looking at the look on the Third Raikage's face, they knew that Konoha's mediation conditions were extremely excessive.
"This is all for peace. Please forgive me, Lord Raikage..."
Mito Kadoyan didn't argue with the Third Raikage, he just replied calmly.
"Peace!"
The Third Raikage could no longer control his emotions, punched the desk to pieces, and shouted angrily: "Is the peace imposed by Konoha considered peace?!"
"Peace is the long-cherished wish of everyone in the ninja world, and there is no so-called imposition..."
Mito Kadoyan gently brushed away the sawdust splattered on his clothes, and said slowly: "Kumogakure is acting against the will, and Konoha is only supporting justice."
"Support justice..."
The Third Raikage was filled with hatred, "Is it for the sake of peace and justice to let Kumogakure surrender before fighting and cede the land to pay compensation?!"
After saying that, the Third Raikage threw the paper ball in his hand to the trusted jounin on the side.
The confidant Jonin spread out the paper ball, and after taking a quick glance at it, his face immediately changed, and his face was full of anger.
Afterwards, all the trusted jounin passed on the so-called peace mediation conditions issued by Konoha one by one, and then their expressions changed drastically.
"This is all for peace and justice. Please support me, Lord Raikage."
Mito Kadoyan said in a neutral tone.
In the mediation document, Konoha not only requires the Raikage to immediately stop military operations against the rain ninja, but also requires the Raikage to apologize to Sansho Hanzo, cede the suzerainty of the Frost Country, and withdraw from the buffer country between the Fire Country and the existence of the small country. strength.
For Kumogakure, who has always been keen on plundering territory and competing for the title of No. 1 Ninja Village, Konoha's conditions are simply too much than sitting on his head and pulling daddy!
If the Third Raikage agreed to such a condition, the furious Kumogakure would definitely kill him as the leader immediately and then go to war with Konoha regardless of the cost.
"For the sake of peace in the shinobi world, Kumogakure must be restricted."
Mito Kadoyan ignored the murderous gazes of the Kumogakure crowd and still said calmly: "Konoha doesn't want this to be the case, but this is a last resort. I ask Lord Raikage and all the Jonin to understand."
"understand……"
In the eyes of the Third Raikage, Konoha's so-called "mediation" has completely turned into robbery by taking advantage of the situation!
"If you humiliate a great country with such conditions, isn't Konoha worried about the public opinion of the ninja world?"
The Third Raikage suppressed his anger and said, "Kumogakure is one of the five major ninja villages in the ninja world. What's the use of making enemies of Konoha like this?"
"There is no benefit, it is just for justice and justice."
Mito Monobu said with dignity.
That expression disgusted the Kumogakure jounin.
Which of the five great ninja villages is a good person?
Are you really not ashamed to say this? !
"Does that mean there's nothing to talk about?"
The Third Raikage nestled his huge body into the back of the chair, his gloomy face seemed to be brewing a thunderous thunder.
"Before this trip, the three shogunates of the Fire Country have taken over various small countries. Why doesn't Lord Raikage just accept the fait accompli?"
Mito Kadoyan said: "Please exercise some restraint and accept mediation, otherwise the wrath of Konoha will destroy everything!"
"Kumogakure is a great ninja village with 20,000 ninja troops!"
A Kumogakure jounin couldn't help but jumped out and cursed loudly: "Even if there is a war, what else can Konoha get besides wasting its own ninja army in vain! For a mere rain ninja, do this? does it worth?"
"More than 10,000 Kumogakure ninja troops are fighting Kirigakure."
Mito Kadenen quickly retorted: "Konoha is the number one ninja village in the ninja world. Even just one Tokoku shogunate under his command can defeat Kirigakure who is fighting with you. Now the four generals of the three major shogunates of Konoha are gathered at the border. , how can Yunyin stop it!"
"...Also, do you think Hiruzen and I have forgotten Lord Tobirama's blood feud?"
After saying this, Mito Kadoyan stood up, brushed off the non-existent dust on his body, and prepared to leave angrily.
"...Konoha's mediation conditions are too harsh, is there room for negotiation?"
Just when Mito Menyan was about to open the door and leave, an old voice came from behind.
"Great Elder..."
All Yunyin were also a little stunned.
Elder Kumogakure, who had been sitting silently in the corner, slowly walked forward with a cane and said in a low tone: "What is the purpose of Konoha? To stand up for the rain ninja so hastily... I'm afraid the ninjas in your village will also You won’t agree, will you?”
Although the Third Raikage's face was full of anger, he did not stop the great elder from speaking.
"If I remember correctly, when Lord Tobirama brought us to the alliance to sign the contract, you were also there..."
Mito Menyan looked at Elder Kumogakure's face and said seriously.
"Yes, but I am already old, and Mr. Yan is still in his prime..."
Elder Yunyin said slowly: "The painful past of the alliance has been completely overturned. Why does Mr. Yan want to bring up the past again?"
"Is this why Konoha started a war with Kumogakure?"
"…for peace!"
Mito Kadoen was silent for a moment, but still gave a high-sounding answer: "Kumogakure has become a destabilizing factor in the ninja world, and may even be the source of the next ninja war. For the sake of peace, it must be restricted!"
"The reason for the dispute between Kumogakure and Ume Ninja is just to recover the long-lost tailed beast, not to expand the scope of influence!"
The Third Raikage also interjected in a deep voice.
The reason is naturally clear to Mito Menyan.
But the problem is that his purpose is to bring fire.
"There is no negotiation, we can only sign."
Mito Menyan replied with lowered eyes.
Even if it fails, the Hokage family can still get a reputation as "hard-liners against Kumogakure" and can also use this to win the support of other swing forces in the village, so why not?
"If Kumogakure chooses to refuse, does Konoha mean to declare war on this?"
The Third Raikage stood up slowly, walked up to Mito Menyan and said.
"Lord Raikage, if my mediation fails, then the two generals, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo, will continue to talk to Kumogakure. As for how far it will go and what consequences it will have, we have no choice. Got it."
The shadow formed by the oppressive body of the Third Raikage completely enveloped Mito Kadoyan, but he was not afraid: "At that time...all the consequences caused by this will be borne by Kumogakure!"
After saying those harsh words, Mito Kadoyan opened the door and left.
The Raikage's office fell into dead silence.
"Sandai, are you ready?"
Elder Kumogakure paused lightly with his cane and broke the silence in the office: "As the shadow of Kumogakure, it's time to show your decision!"
"...Notify Burubi to come back!"
The Third Raikage returned to his seat and ordered: "Ai! This time you will be the commander of the ninja army, and you will take Buruhi with you to the south!"
"I honor your order!
Ai, the third generation Raikage's son and Kumogakure's elite jounin, stood out with his head held high.
"The ninja army goes straight into Tian Country, but don't initiate an attack!"
The Third Raikage added.
"...as you command."
Although Ai was a little unwilling, he did not dare to disobey his father's will.
"I will try my best to find the main force of Kirigakure in a short period of time and have a decisive battle. After defeating Kirigakure, I will lead my troops south to fight Konoha to the death!"
"As you command!"
All the Kumogakure jounin made a loud promise.
…
At the same time, Uchiha Tokumitsu's ninja army station received another unexpected visitor.
"Lord Tokumitsu, I send my regards to you on the orders of my Tsuchikage-sama!"
It was none other than the Iwagakure Jonin Demon Leech who had been defeated by Uchiha Tokimitsu in the Grass Country War.
Although he was once demoted to genin due to defeat, the self-improving Demon Leech quickly returned to his original position by virtue of his excellent strength and merit.
"Welcome friends from Iwagakure."
Uchiha Tokumitsu and Sanshouyu Hanzo sat firmly in the seats of the Chinese army's tent, looking down at the envoy Iwagakure.
"Your Majesty Onoki sent your envoy here for some other purpose. Please ask the Demon Leech Jonin to tell you."
"Lord Tokumitsu, Lord Hanzo..."
Demon Leech once again bowed to the two people sitting in the seat and saluted: "This village has learned that Konoha, in order to support justice, will not hesitate to fight against Kumogakure, a cancer in the ninja world, so we are also willing to help!"
"interesting……"
Uchiha Tokumitsu was also happy.
Iwagakure's uninvited arrival was indeed beyond his expectation.
But it makes sense if you think about it carefully.
During the Second Ninja War, the Earth Kingdom was invaded and plundered by Kumogakure's army. Even if Onoki personally led the ninja army to fight, he could only use the geographical advantage to resist Kumogakure's attack, and he was basically beaten throughout the whole process.
However, the war suddenly ended with the mediation of the daimyo of various countries. Kumogakure, who felt that he had not gained enough, retreated in depression, and Iwagakure, who was severely beaten, was still upset.
Now Konoha mobilized the ninja army to target Kumogakure. After learning the information, Iwagakure felt like he had found a treasure and quickly reported it to the Third Tsuchikage Onoki. After a round of closed-door meetings, Iwagakure unanimously decided to participate in the first "international mediation" in the ninja world. ", justice for the rain ninja!
As for the nastiness of Iwagakure and Ume Ninja in the Land of Rain, it is no longer worth mentioning at this time.
"Mr. Hanzo, it seems there is justice in the ninja world~"
Hanzo Uchiha Tokkoji Sanshoyu smiled.
“Righteousness is in the heart!”
Hanzo, the Sansho Fish, was convinced.
"Yun Yin has done many unjust things and must be punished!"
The magic leech immediately responded.
"...It's not sanctions, it's mediation!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu pointed out his grammatical errors.
