When Dodai, led by the attendant ninja, rushed to the official hall where Uchiha Tokumitsu was resting, it was about ten minutes past the deadline of the ultimatum.
However, when he received the report that Todai was outside asking for a meeting, Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled dumbly and casually set the time on the clock for another ten minutes.
"Isn't this the solution~"
A living person can't stop urinating and suffocate to death. Uchiha Tokumitsu, who has a very flexible moral bottom line, is best at this trick.
"Inform Sakumo-kun, Uncle Huomen, Hanzo and Loess."
Uchiha Tokumitsu slowly put on a special Jōnin vest inlaid with armor plates, carefully put the Kodachi on his waist, and walked into the living room fully armed and ready for battle.
Toutai, who was despairing of all thoughts, kept himself calm and awake with the support of his last obsession, and sat in the hall waiting silently, but his face was haggard, as if he was on the verge of death.
He was disillusioned by the village's final display of weakness.
Uchiha Tokumitsu strode into the living room with the clanging armor on his body, and sat down in the upper seat.
Tutai's mental state and facial appearance at this time made his eyelids twitch.
There is no greater sorrow than the death of one's heart...
Perhaps the past Todai had died as Kumogakure made the choice to abandon his dignity in order to survive.
But Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't have the slightest sympathy.
Because some people can live, there will be more people who cannot continue to live.
Kumogakure, who has always adhered to and promoted the ideas of the martial arts school, has always been a powder keg, but Uchiha Tokumitsu did not want to eliminate this dangerous point of possible explosion for the ninja world, because the price paid by the Uchiha clan would be unbearable for him. , plus the one-village-one-country system will be shattered, so Uchiha Tokko just advocates scooping out as much gunpowder as possible from the powder keg of Kumogakure.
Now it seems that under the "cooling" effect of Kirigakure's big water gun, even though he was suppressed so domineeringly and violently by Konoha and Iwagakure, Kirigakure still swallowed the anger in his stomach.
"If I had known, I would have raised the conditions a little higher..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu sat in the upper seat and felt a little regretful.
At this time, the living room was silent. Neither of them had any intention of continuing to talk and negotiate. They were just waiting for the arrival of the other four people.
Not long after, Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Kado arrived in the living room together. After the two glanced at Dodai, they also sat down.
Then Sanshouyu Hanzo strode in wearing light armor and holding a scythe in his hand. He found a seat and sat down without even looking at the platform.
The last person to arrive was Loess. He was only wearing an ordinary Iwagakure jounin vest, except for the bulging ninja tool bag tied to his thigh.
Although Tu Tai's face was full of dejection, he was also observing everyone's expressions and attire with his peripheral vision.
After just observing for a round, Tutai could only sigh secretly in his heart.
The postures of the five people unabashedly showed their hostility towards Kumogakure, and they also showed their desire for war without hesitation.
Moreover, after the village has fully accepted the armistice agreement, it will be useless even if he finds anything wrong.
Yunyin is really going to admit defeat this time...
Tudai touched the secret letter in the ninja bag on his chest, and the look of defeat on his face became even more intense.
"Mr. Dodai, has Kumogakure made the final decision?"
Uchiha Tokko asked.
The other four people all looked at Tutai who had a lifeless face.
"Twelve hours have passed. Konoha and Iwagakure have been tolerant enough in adhering to the vision of re-establishing peace, so I ask Mr. Dodai not to try to delay time and directly tell Kumogakure's answer."
Hatake Sakumo also said afterwards.
Sanshouyu Hanzo and Huangtu also nodded in agreement.
With trembling hands, Dodai took out the village's reply letter from the ninja bag on his chest, slowly opened it and carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on the envelope.
"... After thoroughly understanding the general trend of the ninja world and the current situation of the ninja villages, and wanting to take extraordinary measures to deal with the situation, in order to maintain the peace of the ninja world, the Supreme Shadow of Kumogakure ordered Dodai to communicate with the Sannin Villages of Konoha, Iwagakure, and Ume Ninja, and is willing to Accept the peace treaty it proposes."
"Effective from the announcement of the announcement to all ninja villages, Kumoyin Ninja Village voluntarily declares to give up the ownership of the two tails it once owned, and promises not to capture or trace the whereabouts of the tailed beasts..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded slightly with a satisfied smile on his face.
After a while, you can openly channel Erwei Youlu and walk the cat~
"Effective from the announcement of each ninja village, the Country of Thunder and Kumogakure voluntarily give up their suzerain status and special treatment in the Country of Frost, give up the expansion of power in the buffer zone between the two countries of Thunder and Fire, and recall the overseas branches. Ninja troops in the above areas."
Huang Tu's face showed excitement.
This was the first time he led his troops on an expedition and won without a fight.
Although it costs a lot to mobilize the Ninja Army, fortunately, the northern area of the Kingdom of Frost has been promised by Uchiha Tokumitsu, which can be regarded as a bridgehead for invading the Kingdom of Thunder. Overall, it is still very cost-effective.
"Effective from the announcement of each ninja village, the Kingdom of Thunder will pay an indemnity of 20 billion taels to the Konoha Tokko Shogunate, which maintains peace and mediates disputes. The funds will be allocated from the Treasury of the Kingdom of Thunder."
Uchiha Tokko raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
The subject of the compensation was actually in the name of the daimyo, and he also gave all the money directly to himself... Does this count as secret instigation?
But after thinking about it, for the sake of money, there is really no need to continue to struggle. The worst thing is that after receiving the compensation, Iwagakure and Yuren will share some of the money.
Moreover, from the analysis of the compensation issue, it can be seen that even if Yunyin suffered such a heavy defeat, he still has not been given up by the great names of the Kingdom of Thunder, and may even increase their support...
However, these have little to do with Uchiha Tokumitsu. Anyway, the occupied area in the Kingdom of Thunder will be directly assigned to Sarutobi Shinnosuke, so that he can also taste what it is like to be a general.
"From the time of the announcement of the ninja villages, in accordance with the order of His Highness the Daimyo, who sacredly rules over all peoples, the southern counties of the Kingdom of Thunder are handed over to Konoha and Iwagakure for garrison protection. The remaining Kumogakure ninja troops have also withdrawn from the garrison area. It was originally The power to govern the people is still managed by personnel appointed by the daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder..."
Retain the power of governance and taxation, and hand over the power of garrisoning...
Although there are some differences from Uchiha Tokko's initial request, it doesn't matter. After all, at the beginning, he was just a strategic blackmailer. Unexpectedly, it actually happened!
As for the subsequent pressure of Kumogakure trying to regain the lost ground after regrouping... Uchiha Tokumitsu felt that the eldest son of the Hokage could still handle it~ At the worst, wouldn't it be enough to devote all the strength of the entire faction to confront Kumogakure?
"From the time of announcement to each Ninja Village, Kumogakure Ninja Village voluntarily declares the Eight-Tailed Beast as a wild tailed beast. It no longer retains its absolute claim to the ownership of the tailed beast, but it also reserves the right to capture the tailed beast..."
After reading the last article, Tu Tai loosened his hands, the manuscript quietly fell to the ground, and two lines of tears fell down.
"very good!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't care about Dodai's gaffe, stood up and said to the other four: "Everyone, we have brought peace back!"
"Hail for peace!"
Hatake Sakumo, Uchiha Kamon, Sansho Hanzo, and Loess also responded.
"Mr. Tutai, please report to your village that we accept the conditions for restoring peace."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said: "Please choose a day to arrange for an official envoy to come and sign a peace treaty together!"
Tutai stood up tremblingly, bowed slightly to signal, then stood up and left.
After confirming that the platform was gone, the living room burst into laughter and filled the atmosphere with joy.
"General Tokumitsu is truly a god!"
Huang Tu expressed his sincerity, "Such a condition can actually force the arrogant Yunyin to agree. It's simply..."
After much deliberation, Huang Tu couldn't think of an appropriate adjective, so he jumped out: "...Six Paths to help!"
"As a ninja, we only believe that man can conquer nature. Even if the Sage of Six Paths is reincarnated, he cannot change us at all with just one mouth."
Uchiha Tokko smiled proudly, "This is a result that can only be achieved by the cooperation of all of you, and it is definitely not my fault alone!"
"General Tokumitsu is too modest!"
Huangtu continued to hold it.
"The ceremony of signing the peace treaty will be scheduled in three days. By then, the elder Mitomon should be able to get up and take care of the matter. Then invite him to come and witness it together!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu thought for a moment, and since Kumogakure had already sued for peace, he would also put the consultant elder in charge of the village's external affairs on the stage to make him feel ashamed.
"...Killing and killing one's heart."
Hatake Sakumo smiled hoarsely and shook his head, but he did not object.
The five chatted for a while before they dispersed with excitement and announced the good news to their villages.
"Should we announce this to our ninja army?"
Uchiha Kamon came up and asked.
"...makes sense."
Uchiha Tokumitsu suddenly realized that this made sense, and then summoned his attendant ninja, and ordered him to formally announce Kumogakure's peace proposal to the two shogunate ninja armies, and quickly send the information to the rear.
Since victory was achieved on the battlefield, we should not lose points again in terms of public opinion. After being reminded by Uchiha Fire Gate, in order to prevent the Hokage family from seizing the initiative in public opinion through the time difference, Uchiha Tokko arranged personnel to go to various ministries overnight. Highly publicize the rich fruits obtained after the victory of the war.
And this night is destined to be a sleepless night in the ninja world.
…
When the information from the front line of the Kingdom of Thunder was sent back to Konoha, the Uchiha clan, the police department building, and the Jonin class office were quickly decorated with lights and fireworks, and fireworks were set off to celebrate.
The ninjas whose intelligence channels were slightly behind also quickly learned about the situation through the Uchiha clan and pro-nin clan who were reveling in the street.
This time, the Hokage series couldn't sit still at all.
Kumogakure is a great ninja village that is only under Konoha. It is also the opponent that the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen has been guarding against since he took charge of Konoha. Moreover, due to the opponent's strong combat power and domineering style, on many issues, in order to prevent the village from falling into being. In a situation of siege from many parties, the Hokage family often adopted an attitude of avoidance and concession when conflicts occurred between Konoha and Kumogakure, and this also accumulated more and more dissatisfaction in the hearts of Konoha ninjas.
Granted, no one really likes war.
But in fact, what everyone is opposed to is a war that cannot obtain benefits or cannot be defeated.
In the first Ninja War, Konoha suffered heavy casualties, even the Senju clan was on the verge of annihilation; and in the Second Ninja War, Konoha also gained nothing from its efforts.
Because of this, Konoha ninjas naturally have a resistance to war.
However, the shogunate ninja army under Uchiha Tokumitsu showed all Konoha ninjas another "sustainable development" war route, which is to plunder and strengthen themselves through war.
After the war test of Kirigakure and Kumogakure, it was also proved that the line of Tokumitsu Shogunate was correct.
Konoha's biggest worry, Kumogakure, succumbed to this, and the impact of this major event on the Hokage family can be imagined.
In the past, the Hokage family still occupied the so-called orthodox name, and the forces of the two sides maintained an opposing stance. Although the gap was extremely deep, each had a solid basic base to ensure the balance of power.
However, under the coordinated strategy of Uchiha Tokumitsu, Hatake Sakumo and others, after Kumogakure was defeated on the battlefield and surrendered in an extremely humiliating manner, the so-called orthodoxy or righteousness was no longer worth a penny.
Even the ninjas who came from the Hokage line but switched to join the war under the Tokko Shogunate in the middle have made a lot of money on the battlefield. Who else would be dissatisfied with the Uchiha clan?
The high reputation gained by the Uchiha clan and Hatake Sakumo's forces due to the war also began to effectively threaten the ruling status of the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"brush!"
After observing the window of the Hokage's office for a while, Koharu went to bed and pulled back the curtains.
"Hiruzen! Do you plan to just watch Tobirama-sensei's hard work go to waste?"
Koharu, who was very angry, turned to bed and said to the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen who was puffing away.
"if not?"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen even breathed out a smoke ring leisurely.
"Will there be a civil war with the Uchiha clan and Hatake Sakumo on the night of victory?"
"Moreover, at a time like this, even if a civil war breaks out, do we still have a chance of winning?"
"Then you can't let those Uchiha lunatics act so wantonly!"
After turning to bed, Xiaochun shouted regardless: "They will lead the village to the road of destruction!"
"The winner is not condemned. This is the rule of the ninja..."
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen lightly knocked the embers from his pipe and said calmly: "Sakumo is the all-powerful military chief appointed by me personally. He has the power to decide Kumogakure's issues."
"……you've changed!"
After going to bed, Xiaochun was stunned for a while, and then a sentence popped out from between his teeth.
"I haven't changed..."
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen filled the pipe with shredded tobacco again, rubbed the flame with two fingers and lit it, and took a long puff, "It's time that has changed..."
"Then what are you going to do?"
After turning to bed, Xiaochun sighed and asked.
"I am going to nominate the next Hokage candidate to His Highness the Daimyo!"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a large cloud of smoke, hiding his expression behind the thick smoke.
"You're crazy!"
Xiaochun was shocked when he went to bed.
"The nominees are Hatake Sakumo, Senju Tsunade, Orochimaru..."
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen ignored Koharu's rudeness and asked calmly: "And I will also set an inspection period for each of them. What do you think?"
"... Hiruzen, you are still too weak!"
After going to bed, Koharu finally understood the intentions of the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen.
To put it bluntly, it means completely muddying the water!
But this doesn't mean that she will agree to this approach.
After saying that, she turned and left.
"..."
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitated to speak.
Those familiar words reminded him of the dead Danzo.
I have to go on a business trip these days, so I can only update once.
