The Five Shadows Talks have entered into their third day.

At nine o'clock in the morning on the third day, the third meeting officially started.

After all the participants were seated, Shiraishi took the lead and asked Chiyo, who was sitting in Sunagakure's seat: "I have been thinking about it for a day. Regarding the conditions I proposed yesterday, Mr. Kazekage, the agent, can you tell me what was discussed internally in the Kingdom of Wind?

It worked."

Shiraishi went straight to the topic as soon as he opened his mouth, without any cover-up.

The land in the northwest region of the Kingdom of Wind, which is eighty miles north of Fengjian City, and the garrison power of Fengjian City are the fruits of victory that the Kingdom of Ghosts should get in the war of the Kingdom of Wind.

On this issue, Shiraishi has shown a firm attitude and will not make any major concessions.

Chiyo must be well aware of this.

Chiyo replied: "I communicated remotely with the Daimyo yesterday. Although we could only have a short meeting of half an hour due to the communication equipment, the Daimyo has given me clear results. Before that, I want to ask again

Now, what the Kingdom of Ghosts is asking for is the land in the northwest region eighty miles north of Fengjian City, as well as the garrison rights of Fengjian City, right?"

"That's right. Regarding this aspect, the Oni Kingdom will give up all activities related to mission entrustment and will not have any competition or conflict with Sunagakure in the ninja business."

The commissioning of tasks by the five major ninja villages is also a competition in terms of ninja quality to a certain extent.

In peacetime, the more tasks a country receives and the higher the comprehensive task level, the more powerful that country is.

From this point of view, at present, Konoha is still ahead of the other ninja villages.

The one who has the greatest hope of surpassing Konoha is Kumogakure, who is known for his strength and practical actions.

The Kingdom of Ghosts withdrew from these competitions in order to win over other countries, thereby forcing the Kingdom of Wind to compromise on the terms of compensation.

The result also satisfied Shiraishi.

The Fourth Raikage changed his attitude from neutral to supportive, and the faces of Yagura and Hokage Hiruzen also expressed a tendency to move. The Kingdom of Wind must not be able to turn a blind eye to this.

Chiyo nodded and said: "It is indeed very courageous for the Kingdom of Ghosts to give up all activities related to mission entrustment. But you must also understand that asking for the right to garrison troops from important cities in other countries is strictly speaking.

Violating a country’s sovereignty.”

"In other words, the Kingdom of Wind still doesn't intend to agree and will mainly refuse?"

Shiraishi raised his eyebrows.

Chiyo shook his head and replied: "No, we just want to impose some restrictions on the condition of garrison power."

Shiraishi was thoughtful, then stared at Chiyo's face for a while, and said, "Tell me and listen."

"It is impossible to permanently allow the Kingdom of Oni to station troops in Kazami Castle. The reason why you put forward such a condition, if I remember correctly, is because of Sunagakure's previous rude behavior, which made you prepare for a rainy day and feel

There is a crisis of trust. Therefore, we can only open the right to garrison the Kingdom of Demon in Kazami Castle for ten years. Moreover, the number of ninjas from the Kingdom of Demon stationed in Kazami Castle cannot exceed 500."

For a ten-year garrison right, the number of ninjas stationed in the army cannot exceed 500.

Obviously, these two conditional restrictions retain a certain early warning capability of the Kingdom of Ghosts, and are also within the acceptable range of the Kingdom of Wind.

"I will retreat another forty miles within the scope of the requested land. That is, the land 120 miles north of Kazami City belongs to the Kingdom of Demons. However, I will increase the number of years of garrison power by five years and change it from ten years.

The right to garrison troops for fifteen years."

After listening to Chiyo's narration, Shiraishi thought for a while and immediately expressed his idea to increase the number of years of garrison power in Kazami Castle.

"No, two years at most."

Chiyo frowned.

"Four years."

Shiraishi said another number.

Chiyo kept silent.

Shiraishi sighed, looked at Chiyo seriously, and said solemnly: "The minimum is three years, no more."

After hearing this, Chiyo relaxed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded, agreeing with Shiraishi's statement. The ten years of garrison rights were increased to thirteen years, and the Kingdom of Wind would cede forty miles less.

The land is given to the country of ghosts.

For the entire northwest of the Kingdom of Wind, the forty miles of land cannot change anything. But being able to recover more land is also a good thing for the Kingdom of Wind.

Anyway, after that, Chiyo has decided to reserve an elite Sunagakure force in Kazami Castle to strictly guard against the Kingdom of Demons and monitor every move of the garrison so that mistakes like this one will not happen again.

As for what the situation will be like after thirteen years, Chiyo feels that her body may not be able to survive that time, so she can only trust the young people of Sunagakure in the future.

Regarding the Kingdom of Ghosts, I cannot relax for a moment.

After seeing Shiraishi and Chiyo's concessions and compromises, a greater conflict between the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Wind was avoided. Mifune, as a neutral party, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Overall, it ended relatively peacefully.

After this Five Kage Talks, various countries' impressions of the Kingdom of Ghosts will probably have some other changes.

A strong country will be respected by other countries at all times.

But in this way, the Kingdom of Ghosts will no longer remain a neutral country like the Kingdom of Iron. Countries will not allow the Kingdom of Ghosts to continue to remain a neutral country.

If a new ninja war breaks out in the future, it will be difficult for the Demon Country, as a powerful military country, to avoid being involved in the ninja war.

As for whether it is good or bad, it can only be left to the parties concerned to judge.

For now, the benefits to the Ghost Country outweigh the disadvantages.

It acquired land and made a name for itself. Although it failed to become a big country, it already had the military strength to challenge the big countries.

Thinking of this, Mifune couldn't help but think of a ninja Sanho Hanzo who made him feel very sorry.

He has both strength and fame, but he was born in the wrong country.

But without the special environment of the Land of Rain, where the mountains and rivers are broken and the people's livelihood is suffering, the ninja Hanzo Sanshouyu would not have been born in response to the times.

The terms of compensation have been negotiated with Chiyo, and this time the Five Kage Talks have basically come to an end.

Although the final terms of compensation are the product of compromise and modification by both parties, such compensation is still detrimental to the Kingdom of Wind in a real sense.

However, the Kingdom of Wind, which had been defeated on the frontal battlefield, was not qualified to put forward any more opinions. It was not easy to push the conditions to this point.

Otherwise, if we continue to fight on the frontal battlefield, the Kingdom of Wind may suffer more losses.

After experiencing this, the daimyo and nobles will also increase their investment in Sunagakure Village and use all their strength to develop the military power of Ninja Village, which will become the top priority for the future development of the country.

Chiyo could foresee such a situation happening.

"After the next compensation agreement is formally drawn up, let's sign it in Fengjian City. The time is set to be half a month later, how about it?"

The conditions have been negotiated. Shiraishi doesn't mind giving the Wind Kingdom some more time to prepare. There is no need to rush.

Moreover, there are some things within the Kingdom of Ghosts that need to be dealt with urgently.

The northwest of the Kingdom of Wind is just a turning point in the future development of the Kingdom of Ghosts, not the final destination.

The next development strategy of the Kingdom of Ghosts lies not with the big country, but with the small countries that surround the big country.

"Okay, I have no objections here."

Chiyo rubbed his eyebrows and nodded.

Once the compensation conditions have been negotiated, the content of the subsequent talks will not appear depressing and solemn, but light and relaxed.

After promising that the armistice and compensation agreement would be signed in Fengjian City in half a month, Chiyo then asked: "By the way, there is one more thing. I want to ask, do you have the willingness to sell military weapons such as flying ninja tools?"

Is that right? Our country of wind will pay for it."

In the war in the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Ghosts used a variety of military weapons.

Artillery with astonishing destructive power and extremely long range, flying ninja tools that can roam the sky, and kunai guns with wind attribute chakra have all changed the original fighting mode of ninjas to a certain extent.

Although it has not opened up a new pattern, it has become a place that cannot be ignored by all countries.

"Oh? Is the Kingdom of Wind willing to buy it?" Shiraishi smiled.

"certainly."

"There is no problem with this. Once those weapons are developed, they will be sold as a special commodity."

Shiraishi nodded.

He had no intention of hiding anything, and he also wanted to see what new changes would be brought about when those weapons flowed into the five major countries.

Of course, the most likely scenario is that there will still be no changes.

Not only Chiyo, but also the rest of the shadows had expressions of emotion on their faces. Shiraishi smiled and said, "I understand what you are thinking. Artillery and kunai guns are fine. Flying ninjas are not as good as those from the Demon Country Military Research Institute."

Not many have been produced. Therefore, I can only put out a hundred aircraft for sale in the initial stage. As for the price, I am not a businessman and it is difficult to judge. I will let the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association handle this matter and give you a suitable price.

price."

Regarding this, Chiyo and the rest of the shadows didn't say anything, they just nodded.

But they must have made up their minds to use their name to purchase the new standard weapons developed by the Kingdom of Demons.

This was a great opportunity to strengthen the Ninja Village's military strength, and they didn't want to miss it.

Moreover, now that the Kingdom of Ghosts has occupied a place in the international arena, it is also a danger signal for the daimyo of major countries, who will most likely not object.

The happy scene made Mifune very emotional. He didn't know how long such a stable relationship between the countries would last.
