Volume 1, Chapter 429: You insisted on going for the peace talks, and it turned out like this?
The Third Hokage had an expression that said, "As expected."
He knew that Tsunade could not accept these conditions, at least some of them.
"Old man, are you crazy?"
Not caring about the floor that she had stepped on and was broken, Tsunade holding the documents was like an angry old bull, her eyes were wide open and hot air was coming out of her nostrils.
That angry look almost drowned the Third Hokage.
Angrily pressing the documents on the table, not caring whether the desk could bear it, Tsunade angrily questioned:
"Is this the result of your insistence on going to the peace talks?"
What exactly happened?
Did Hiruzen agree to some harsh conditions from the Sand Village that were not beneficial to Konoha?
The frightened Utane Koharu and Mitokado En looked at each other and stared blankly at Tsunade yelling at the Third Hokage.
"Look at what these conditions are for yourself. I can understand the unconditional release of Rasa, which is the basis for the Sand Village's peace talks. Just let him go, and Rasa alone can't cause any trouble. But what do you mean by erasing the war reparations of the Sand Village?"
"Is Konoha so wealthy that it doesn't even need war reparations?"
"What on earth do you think?"
Tsunade felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger, and she wished she could slap the Third Hokage to death.
"And this, we in Konoha are already in a difficult situation, the Daimyo Prefecture is full of resentment, you just came back from the Daimyo Prefecture not long ago, don't you know this?
You actually agreed to support the development of the Sand Village?"
Are you crazy or am I crazy?
What the hell is this peace negotiation term?
If Tsunade had known this would happen, she would never have let the Third Hokage leave Konoha.
At worst, she could go and talk in person. If that didn't work, she could let Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En go.
Even though these two old guys like to stir up trouble and fight among themselves, at least they are not vague about important external issues.
Take the peace talks for example. They will never stop until they get a piece of the Sand Village's flesh.
It's ok now.
Tsunade called out, "Good guy, let's not talk about anything."
There is no war reparations, and Rasa has been released, but Konoha still has to help the Sand Village with all his might. What is this?
Just for a dispensable ally?
Or is it for the support of the one thousand ninjas from the Sand Village?
Konoha and the Mist Village cannot easily win with just a thousand more reinforcements.
This war will continue, but no one knows when and to what extent it will end.
At least judging from the current situation, the Mist Village is determined to fight Konoha to the death.
"Ahem!! Tsunade, I don't want to either, but we have to end the war as soon as possible."
The Third Hokage quickly finished.
Mitomonen and Utane Koharu came back to their senses, and they were so shocked that they were a little incoherent:
"Hiruzen, don't tell me this is all true. Is this the result of your insistence on negotiating?"
Even though they hadn't read the document yet, they could tell from Tsunade's angry roar that Konoha was suffering a heavy loss this time.
Many people died, and a lot of supplies, money, and time were consumed, but in the end all they got in return was an unreliable ally and a thousand reinforcements.
Does Konoha need reinforcements?
need.
But it is not the end of the road. Even if the Mist Village is determined to fight Konoha to the death, Konoha can afford it.
Compared with these one thousand reinforcements, they have almost no presence.
The most distressing thing is that Konoha has to bear all the expenses of the one thousand reinforcements.
Are they calling for reinforcements or a group of bigwigs?
Your Sand Village is short of supplies, but doesn’t Konoha have any?
The more disgusting thing is yet to come. After the war is over, Konoha will have to find a way to support the development of the Sand Village...
All the weird and deceptive conditions made Tsunade almost spit out blood.
"Ah~~~"
The Third Hokage sighed:
"I know that such conditions are very harsh and disadvantageous to Konoha, but what we need is time and stable development. Even if we sign a large amount of war reparations, it will be difficult for Konoha to get enough benefits in a short period of time."
“So I…”
“Stop it!”
Tsunade would not listen to such an explanation and interrupted the Third Hokage with a wave of her hand:
"You went to the peace talks in person, and you were determined to go. Now everything is a foregone conclusion. It's useless for me to object. I will choose to make everything public. I hope you are mentally prepared."
Just prepare to be conquered by the villagers and the village ninjas.
Since you can even negotiate such conditions, Tsunade feels that she can no longer stay in the Hokage's office.
She was afraid that she would not be able to control her anger and would slap the Third Hokage to death.
"I have made up my mind. This is the responsibility I should bear. No matter how the villagers and others view me or talk about me, I can accept it.
As long as the war ends as soon as possible, peace can be achieved."
The Third Hokage nodded seriously.
Once the announcement is issued, it will have a huge impact. He knows this, and Nara Shikashin has also reminded him of this.
"I am looking forward to your retreat and what kind of ally you can bring to Konoha!!!"
Tsunade slammed the door and left. She needed to find a place to calm down.
If possible, drink some alcohol to calm your urge to curse or hit others.
Allies are a luxury for the five major ninja villages.
The so-called alliance relationship may break down at any time, and the Sand Village has been jumping back and forth for a long time.
Don’t expect that the Sand Village will be peaceful just because the Third Kazekage dies and Rasa takes over.
Because Luo Sha is also a restless person.
Otherwise, in the original work, Rasa would not have accepted Orochimaru's proposal to attack Konoha.
As a result, he betrayed his allies and was not only cursed, but he was also killed on the way before he even reached Konoha.
Only Gaara still has some conscience.
It’s a pity that the Sand Village was too weak at that time and couldn’t cause any trouble. Otherwise, if other high-level officials defected, Gaara would still not be able to play a big role.
"Hiruzen, you.......sigh."
Utane Koharu and Mitokado En flipped through the documents as quickly as possible and were both numb.
"I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts."
There is no point in regretting at this point. Otherwise, if the Sand Village issues a notice, Konoha will be slapping itself in the face.
And the Third Hokage never regretted it.
Compared to war reparations and other compensations, he hoped that Konoha would have time to recuperate.
He always believed that the elite troops of the Sand Village led by Chiyo would be helpful in the war between Konoha and the Mist Village, and that an alliance between the two villages would also bring pressure to the Mist Village.
The Third Hokage was very thoughtful and thought long-term. He wanted to force the Mist Village to end the war through pressure from other villages.
What he didn't expect was that the Third Mizukage of the Mist Village was a controlled madman.
His original intention of launching the war was to hope that the five major ninja villages would continue to consume and weaken their overall strength.
From the Mist Village's desperate attack on the Konoha position, it can be seen that the Third Mizukage does not take the lives of the Mist Village's ninjas seriously at all.
It is impossible for them to be afraid and choose to end the war just because Konoha and Sand Village form an alliance.
He wished that the Sand Village would continue to get involved so that the three villages could continue fighting. It would be best if the dogs' brains were blown apart and brains flew all over the ground.
The Third Hokage is like this, what else can Utatane Koharu and Mitokado En say?
The two were silent for a long time.
"In that case, then Hiruzen, you must be prepared to be criticized and abused. This will have some negative effects on your reputation."
