Amidst the grand applause, the first person to come on stage was Jiraiya, the plenipotentiary representative of the Fire Nation and the disciple of the third generation Hokage of Konoha Ninja Village. With an impassioned tone, he generously stated the five principles of peaceful coexistence of the Fire Nation: mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence. He criticized the Wind Nation for provoking military disputes without reason and invading the territory of the Fire Nation, which was a bad and blind act.
During this period, Jiraiya angrily denounced the irresponsible behavior of the Wind Country, because their greed directly caused the Fire Country to suffer huge losses, overall economic decline, displacement of citizens, loss of military strength, decline in international status, etc. He repeatedly emphasized that the various atrocities of the Wind Country are too numerous to list, and they are infuriating to both humans and gods, and cannot be expressed in words.
The next person to speak was the Wind Country representative. After the frontline commander came on stage, he first elaborated on the friendly diplomatic relations between the Wind Country and the Fire Country since their establishment, especially after the Second Ninja World War, the two countries have maintained close exchanges and friendly cooperation in various fields such as politics, economy, and culture. He believed that the war between the two countries was wrong and meaningless, and was caused by a small group of ill-intentioned international forces. He also expressed deep condolences for the losses of Konoha and the fallen ninjas.
The Wind Country representative was so emotional during his speech that he could not control his emotions several times and burst into tears, causing the peace talks to be interrupted for a while. His speech was full of pearls and tears, which made the ninjas present feel the same way.
Finally, the two sides concluded the talks in the spirit of friendly cooperation and the win-win principle of mutual benefit, win-win and common development to promote the national journey. The representatives believed that there were no irreconcilable contradictions between the two countries, and how to strengthen and develop the friendly and cooperative relations between the wind and fire countries would be the first priority in the future. In the later stage, it is necessary to take the continuous consolidation and development of the friendship between the two countries as an unswerving policy and develop the friendship between the wind and fire to a new and higher stage.
After the meeting, the Sand Village delegation agreed that Konoha Village cared about the peace of the ninja world and was worthy of being the largest ninja village in the ninja world. They also admired the representative Jiraiya, who was approachable and amiable.
The Konoha delegation humbly stated that peace is not only dependent on Konoha, but also on the Sand Village. In this meeting, Konoha fully realized the Sand Village's sincere apology and its great determination to live in peace. And look forward to mutual encouragement and common progress! Both the Wind and Fire countries are satisfied with the results of this meeting, and believe that the complete success of this meeting will become a glorious page in the history of the two countries.
In just a few days, after Konohagakure and Sandagakure signed a temporary truce agreement, the news swept across the ninja world like a storm, triggering a series of chain reactions. This truce is not just a matter between the two countries, but also concerns the future trend of the entire ninja world.

The first to bear the brunt was the Land of Earth. The Iwagakure Village took advantage of the deadly fight between Sand Village and Konoha to occupy several wealthy towns on the border of the Wind Country in one go, and took on the irreconcilable feud with the Wind Country. Ohnoki was very proud for a long time. Now that Sand Village and Konoha have temporarily ceased fighting, it is impossible to stockpile heavy troops on the border. Where will the released troops go? The only choice is them.
As for whether the two sides will renew their relationship after they have dealt with the invaders at home, it depends on the trend of the war. If the Wind Kingdom loses in the war against the invasion, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not mind adding icing on the cake and sharing a piece of the pie with the Earth Kingdom. The same is true for the Sand Ninjas, who have always been obsessed with the fertile and vast land of the Fire Kingdom. This is all a matter for the future. At least for now, there will be no more disputes between the Wind and Fire Kingdoms!
Therefore, with the authorization of the top leaders of both sides, after nearly a month of wrangling, Jiraiya and the Sand Ninja negotiators signed a temporary non-aggression agreement. No matter how reluctant the Wind Country was, it still paid a hefty penalty. After all, the treaty during World War II was not signed for nothing. Now that Konoha's Yellow Flower and Red Stick Jiraiya and his many followers were blocking the door, it would be unacceptable if they didn't pay some blood.
Ohnoki would not sit still and wait for death, and giving up the land he had obtained was not in line with his usual style. In order to maintain the balance of the battlefield, he would inevitably make strategic adjustments, such as increasing the number of troops and logistical support. However, this would more or less affect the battle lines with the Thunder and Fire countries.
With this, the strategic intention of the Third Hokage has been realized, and the operational plan to exclude the Sand Ninja has been initially achieved. Similarly, after this decisive battle, the Sand Ninja top brass also realized that it was not advisable to gamble the fate of the country on one thing, and they were unable to fight against the two major ninja villages of Iwagakure and Konoha at the same time. If they wanted to maintain their status as a great power, they could only give up one.
However, before the war with the Land of Earth began, the Sand Ninja still had a problem to solve, which was the selection of the fourth Kazekage. After the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, the Sand Village had been looking for him, but unfortunately, they had little success and did not find any traces. After losing the war with Konoha, the village had lost patience in looking for him and finally decided to re-select a new Kazekage.
The Fire Nation is in a worse situation. They jumped too hard during World War II and had too many enemies. The three nations of Earth, Thunder, and Water are all fighting against them. Although a large number of troops are now available, it is still a bit stretched if they are evenly distributed. But fortunately, it is not as hard as before when they were fighting on all sides.
As for matters such as war reparations and territorial disputes, Jiraiya could see that the Sand Ninjas would not come to the negotiating table until the Third Ninja World War was over, so he was happy to have nothing to do and pushed everything to Sarutobi Hiruzen, giving the other party a headache.
A few days after the war, the Sand Village sent out a negotiation team, and on the same day, Konoha's negotiation team also arrived at the front line. As the commander of the Sand Village said, after the war, Konoha did not try to expand the victory, nor did it show any greed for the land of the Wind Country. After entering the border of the Wind Country, Konoha stopped advancing. After making its attitude clear, the Sand Village was very sensible and began to submit a negotiation letter to Konoha.
Jiraiya demanded that the Sand Village take full responsibility for the war and compensate the Fire Country for all its losses. The Sand Village, on the other hand, acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, pretending to be stupid and dumb. In the end, they said in a very tactless way that if Konoha continued to be aggressive, they would abandon the Earth Country front and fight Konoha with all their strength.
The Konoha Ninja Army gradually evacuated the Wind Country, crossed the River Country, and temporarily stationed on the border of the Fire Country. As for the reason, everyone knows it, so I won't say it anymore.
I've gotten off track. The result of the Kazekage selection has nothing to do with Duke. After the negotiations came to an end, the Konoha ninjas slowly withdrew from the Kingdom of Wind in accordance with the requirements of the armistice agreement. Jiraiya waved his hand and withdrew all the troops within three days. He had both face and money, so there was no need to continue to eat sand in the Kingdom of Wind.
Duke cursed at Tsunade's face without any pressure, especially after he found out that his opponent was Chiyo, he cursed even more happily. He had been brooding over the fact that the old witch had cheated him, and now that he had the chance, he naturally said whatever he wanted to say. With the five thousand years of cultural heritage of Greater China, he could just use a little bit to curse the other party to the point of paralysis, tears and doubting life. It didn't matter if he threw a tantrum, but Chiyo was unlucky. After every meeting, she had to take two quick-acting heart pills, otherwise she couldn't even move her legs.
This treaty was only a truce agreement and had no actual binding force, but it barely put a temporary end to the war between the two countries. The Third Ninja World War had already started, and both Wind and Fire were invaded by the enemy. They were brothers in distress. After a lot of trouble, they finally realized that it would be useless for both sides to continue fighting. At present, the primary purpose of both sides should be to drive away the invaders instead of continuing to fight each other.
Thus, the war between the Wind and Fire nations ended peacefully... Of course, that was impossible! In fact, on this remote hill, the two negotiating parties almost came to blows. Jiraiya and the Sunagakure commander argued fiercely, pointing their fingers at each other and cursing, spitting all over the place, spitting directly into each other's mouths.
When all the ninjas from the two countries left, the war-torn River Country finally calmed down, and the poor daimyo finally slept well. Due to long-term insomnia, this guy suffered from depression and was considering the issue of the crown prince.
Because neither side has been seriously injured, the Sand Village will not admit defeat in the war, and Konoha has no time to waste here. The quarrel is just to pave the way for future negotiations, and they don't expect to gain benefits. If you win, you don't expect to get compensation, and if you lose, you don't plan to pay. If you can't fight, then just quarrel! Isn't it just a competition of voices? Who is afraid of who! Duke saw that both sides even took out knives several times, clamoring to bleed each other, but when it came to real fight, they all stopped and used knives to trim their nails. This made him sigh, the world of adults is really dirty! As for why Duke was at the meeting, it was all because Jiraiya deliberately disgusted the other party and made him look like Tsunade, attracting all kinds of hatred. Anyway, Jiraiya will do whatever the Sand Ninja is uncomfortable with.
Konoha increased its troops, and the three kingdoms of earth, thunder, and water naturally had to express their opinions. In addition to increasing their troops, they also had to discuss the next strategy. In short, because of this armistice agreement, the entire ninja world was in motion. The temporary cessation of a battlefield did not bring the dawn of peace, but the dark clouds of war became thicker.
A week after the signing of the armistice agreement, the Konoha army stationed at the border of the Land of Fire, except for a small part that continued to stay in place to monitor the movements of the Sand Ninja to prevent the other party from breaking the agreement, most of the remaining ninjas were transferred to the borders of the other three countries. Only hundreds of seriously injured soldiers and medical team members, as well as the accompanying ninjas, withdrew to the Konoha Village.
Perhaps it was because Sarutobi Hiruzen hadn't seen his son for a long time and missed him a little, so the Hizashi team was lucky enough to become a member of the accompanying escort ninja, and Duke was among them.
