Hearing this, Lu Jiu's expression turned serious again.
He knew that this was Shiren testing him.
The Nara clan has a wise man, this is something everyone in Konoha knows.
However, there is a difference between high IQ and high IQ.
Not all members of the Nara clan can become the squad leader of Konoha's jounin class and become a great help to the Hokage.
This is Toneri testing him as Hokage.
After all, Nara Shikakushin is old, and sooner or later he will retire one day. If Nara Shikaku's ability is sufficient, Toneri will certainly not mind letting Shikaku take over everything of Nara Shikakushin.
So how to maximize Konoha's interests this time is what Shikaku needs to consider.
It is estimated that Ebizo on the Suna Ninja side was also thinking about how to deal with this matter, so he did not stand up immediately.
"Toneri, how much longer can you fight?"
This is what Shikaku is most concerned about now, and it is also related to his next decision.
Hearing this, Toneri glanced at Shikaku with a deep look, feeling more or less admired in his heart. He didn't show it very obviously, but the careful Shikaku still saw some abnormalities in him.
This was something he observed distractedly when he was cooperating with Akimichi Choza to fight Yamanaka Haiichi.
As if seeing Toneri's surprise, Shikaku smiled and explained: "The main reason is that I know your character very well. If you can continue to fight and develop stronger strength, let alone this one-tailed jinchū.
Because of his strength, even Luo Sha, who cooperated with One-Tail, couldn't escape.
But you chose to stop the fight the moment you subdued the enemy, which shows that you are more or less unable to do what you want."
But even so, the strength that Shiren unleashed still shocked them.
No one understands more clearly than them how powerful Sansho Hanzo, who has been working together for such a long time and has the title of "demigod", is.
Unexpectedly, after Toneri killed him, he could still fight with the One-Tailed Shukaku and Rasa. Finally, he subdued the One-Tailed Shukaku with the power of thunder, grabbed the One-Tailed Jinchuuriki, and stopped the fight.
battle.
This is no longer the fighting power that ordinary ninjas should possess.
Toneri frowned, "Who said, I can fight for another three days and three nights!"
In front of acquaintances such as Shikaku and Minato, he once again regained his once treasure-like personality.
Everyone also smiled knowingly, knowing that he was trying to show off his strength.
Shikaku rubbed his chin thoughtfully, and said to himself: "So, you probably don't have much chakra left, but you pretend to be pretty good, and the battlefield is very messy. I'm not someone who knows you very well."
I guess I can't detect anything unusual about you. After all, stopping this battle immediately is the best option, so you can take advantage of it."
Seeing that Shikaku didn't listen to him at all, Toneri's head was full of black lines.
But he wasn't actually bragging.
Although there is not much chakra left now, he can continue fighting if he is willing. And with the recovery speed of the two tails' chakra, coupled with the recovery ability of the Senju Hashirama cells in his body, soon
Chakra will then be fully restored.
The continuous switching of physical skills and chakra can indeed allow him to fight for three more days and three nights.
It means that the destructive power will be reduced, and the more you fight, the more information about yourself will be exposed, which is not a good thing for Toneri.
If you can keep some of your trump cards, it is of course better to keep more of them.
In this world, if the enemy you are targeting fully knows your abilities, it will be too easy to be targeted.
After all, there are still too many special abilities in this world.
"Then let's armistice."
After a period of careful consideration, Shikaku made his choice.
No one was surprised that he would give such an answer, and they didn't say anything, waiting for what Lu Jiu would say next.
As expected, Shikaku added: "The One-Tail Jinchuuriki can be returned to them, but this war must end, and because this war was started by their Sunagakure Village, all their losses must be borne by themselves.
, and we in Konoha need them to compensate us.
As for compensation, after my rough calculation just now, the bottom line is this..."
Next, Shikaku told Toneri a lot about the things that Sunagakure Village should compensate Konoha.
Listening to Lu Jiu's words, everyone looked slightly surprised.
It's not that his demands are too low, but that his demands are too high.
You must know that the Sunagakure Village is still the dominant side, and Konoha is at a disadvantage. If the Suna Ninja cruelly chooses to give up the One-Tail Jinchuuriki, then it is estimated that not many Konoha ninjas here can go back.
"Shikaku, isn't this too risky? Sunagakure Village won't agree to it, right? The conditions are too harsh." Minato said with a little hesitation.
In his opinion, as long as this war can be ended, it will be a good thing for Konoha.
For Konoha, the long battle has already reached the limit that many Konoha ninjas can endure.
Moreover, Konoha is still fighting on all sides, and the pressure is too great. Ending the battle in one place early can relieve the pressure in other directions.
"No, didn't we get the news before that the Iwa Ninja directly attacked the Kumo Ninja from behind? In this case, we probably feel that the Iwa Ninja has reached some kind of special agreement, right?
Then the battlefield pressure in our country of Taki will definitely be much less, and I learned from the intelligence that the third generation Raikage of Kumogakure Village died in the battle. Even if the fourth generation Raikage completed the perfect connection, I estimate that Kumogakure Village will not be able to be effective in a short time.
s attack.
Therefore, we can use these points to lie about military information, which will give us a certain advantage in negotiations.
In the current Sunagakure Village, the fourth generation Kazekage has not yet taken office after the disappearance of the third generation Kazekage, but I estimate that the new leader of the sand manipulation group in Sunagakure Village, Magijura Sand, is likely to become the next Kazekage.
film.
He is also the person most likely to come out to negotiate on behalf of Sunagakure Village.
Toneri, you can take this opportunity to make a promise to help him take the position of the Fourth Kazekage.
At the same time, you can also threaten him with the deterrence you just fought. If you don't agree, you will use all your strength to deal with him at all costs later.
Given the benefits and threats, as long as this Luosha is smart enough, he will definitely agree to our conditions."
Shikaku talked a lot at once, analyzing their advantages in various aspects and what they could take advantage of.
Even the opponent's Suna Ninja Rasa and the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure Village took advantage of it.
"There is something you may not know in time, because during the time when Sunagakure Village launched its attack, we had already signed an alliance agreement with Iwagakure Village, and our next enemies will only be Sunagakure Village and Kumogakure Village.
” Shiren reminded.
Hearing this, several people's eyes lit up.
"In this case, our success rate will be higher. As long as we can cease the war with Sunagakure Village, then this ninja war will truly come to an end, and the pressure on Konoha will be relieved again." Shikaku added.
firm.
However, he could only make decisions, and the final decision was made by Toneri, the Fourth Hokage.
"so be it."
Sheren made the decision directly without hesitation.
With that said, he carried Fenfu and walked towards the center of the battlefield.
Seeing Toneri come out, the Suna ninja looked solemn. As Shikaku expected, the person who walked out was Rasa.
The two met directly in the middle.
Without any unnecessary nonsense, Toneri simply stated it according to the conditions calculated by Shikaku.
"impossible!"
When Luo Sha heard the conditions, his eyes widened and he almost cursed.
Shiren squinted his eyes and looked at Luo Sha coldly.
"Do you want to become the fourth Kazekage?"
Luo Sha's expression was frozen. Of course he understood what Shi Ren meant.
He said in a deep voice: "Even compared to the position of Kazekage, I cannot agree to such conditions. I am now the first candidate for the fourth generation Kazekage, and agreeing to your choice is not only unfair to me.
Help will also become a stumbling block for me to become Kazekage."
"No, no, no, your biggest stumbling block is your Sunagakure Village elders, Chiyo, and the Burning Escaper, Ye Cang. You don't want to be hindered by this old guy, Chiyo, after you become the Kazekage, right?
So are you Feng Ying or her?"
Hearing this, Luo Sha had an ugly expression, but he remained silent.
"Furthermore, I promise you that I can help you completely control a Shukaku. Don't you want a tailed beast that you can fully control?"
This was something that Luo Sha really couldn't refuse.
Even though he only cooperated with Shukaku for a short time, Rasa could clearly feel how helpful Shukaku would be to him, a ninja who was good at sand manipulation.
If Shukaku can be completely controlled, even Chiyo, who has a high position in Sunagakure Village, and his rival Hagura will no longer be his opponents.
"Will you help me completely control Shukaku?"
Hearing Luo Sha's question, Shiren smiled.
He knew that Luo Sha was moved, so the rest would be simple.
"At least I'm a perfect Jinchuuriki, what do you think?"
Toneri is currently the only perfect jinchuriki in the ninja world. Even the eight-tailed jinchuriki Kirabi is far behind him.
Luo Sha was silent.
The silence lasted for a long time this time.
However, Toneri is not in a hurry. After all, this is not a simple decision. After Rasa agrees to their conditions, he will definitely be questioned by Chiyo and other senior officials of Sunagakure Village when he returns.
It depends on whether he thinks this exchange is worth it.
But based on Sheren's understanding of Luo Sha, he knew that Luo Sha would definitely agree.
That's the kind of person he is.
After about three minutes of silence, Luo Sha, who was struggling wildly in his heart, finally chose to agree to Konoha's truce agreement, which seemed slightly unreasonable.
This directly places Sunagakure Village on the losing side.
Luo Sha will definitely be under a lot of pressure. Now that Fugui has made a decision, he has naturally considered the pros and cons.
Sheren returned the blessing to him, "When the time comes, I will appear naturally. There is no need to doubt the credibility of my words."
After signing a series of seemingly unfair treaties, Luo Sha accepted the blessings with a sullen face and returned to the Suna Ninja camp without saying a word.
Immediately afterwards, shocking cheers erupted from the Konoha side, while the Suna Ninja side was in a low mood.
The expressions of all Suna Ninja's management were very ugly and as gloomy as water.
However, if you think about it carefully, why did Sunagakure Village provoke this third ninja war?
Isn't it because the conflicts among multiple internal factions could not be resolved due to the death of the Third Kazekage, so they had to choose to point the finger externally to relieve the pressure.
Now that the internal conflicts have been resolved, and many Suna ninjas have died on the battlefield, although this is not something to be happy about, it has also eased the finances of Sunagakure Village, which was not very abundant in the first place.
A bad thing.
Moreover, due to the outcome of the Second Ninja War, Sunagakure Village itself had to pay Konoha and the others 30% of their mission proceeds for five years.
Although the conditions this time are more serious than last time, they are actually not much worse.
If you think about it this way, it suddenly becomes acceptable.
Of course the people in Konoha don't care what the people in Sunagakure Village think.
Anyway, the war is over now, and it has brought so many benefits to Konoha, which can also be said to be war dividends. This is something that most Konoha ninjas have never thought of.
Such a huge absolute reversal was possible because of the appearance of Toneri, who single-handedly turned the situation around.
He killed the demigod Sansho Hanzo in a duel, stopped the original attack of the rain ninja, and forcibly captured the first Shukaku in the battle with Ichibi Shukaku and Rasa.
Such results are enough to make all Konoha ninjas admire them.
They all admired the Fourth Hokage from the bottom of their hearts for the Fourth Hokage who took office in a hurry during the war.
In two days, the war that plagued Konoha on the Takino Country battlefield and the Rain Country battlefield, and the war that had plagued Konoha for several years, finally came to an end.
This is almost equivalent to announcing that the Third Ninja War has come to an end.
Kirigakure Village can almost be ignored. As long as the battle between Taki Country and Kumo Ninja ends, the Third Ninja World War will be truly over.
The morale of the Suna Ninjas is very low. Even if they have to fight back with such morale, Chiyo doesn't think the Suna Ninjas can win.
He led a group of sand ninjas to withdraw from the Kingdom of Rain, leaving almost a thousand sand ninjas stationed at the border of the Kingdom of Wind.
Under the arrangement of Tonero and Shikaku, the ninjas of Konoha left almost a thousand ninjas stationed at the border of the Land of Fire and withdrew from the Land of Rain.
However, compared to the Country of Taki, the Country of Rain is not so lucky.
Although the country of Taki was miserable, they followed Iwagakure unswervingly from beginning to end. Therefore, after the war was over, the Iwa nin still had some conscience and gave certain support to the country of Taki and the village of Takigakure.
But the Land of Rain is different.
Under the leadership of Hanzo, he first united with Konoha to fight against Sunagakure Village, and then turned against Konoha at the last moment, which made both sides dislike him.
If you don't send people directly, it will be good if the Kingdom of Rain is pacified.
The main reason why they all choose to stop is because the location of the Kingdom of Rain is too embarrassing.
With the Kingdom of Fire, the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth, any one that occupies it will be hostile and wary of the other two.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Rain must be independent.
But that doesn’t mean nothing can be done.
After the final celebration party for victory in the war, Toneri returned to his one-man tent and summoned the root ninjas headed by Ryoma.
"Ryoma, bring me the one with the highest status and the strongest strength among the rain ninjas captured today."
"yes."
As if he had been prepared for it, less than a minute after Ryoma left, he walked in with a rain-nin wearing a forehead protector, looking a little haggard, and looking a little embarrassed.
Because Hanzo's death was too big for these rain ninjas to mobilize, when this person saw Toneri, he subconsciously showed an expression of awe.
"What's your name?" Toneri said with a straight face.
"Soyoshimaru."
This rain ninja is quite honest and will answer whatever Toneri asks.
"Do you want to be the next leader of Yuyin Village?"
Hearing this, Zeng Yoshimaru's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
Through the simple information given by Ryoma, Toneri knew that Soyoshimaru was an Amegakure jounin and the captain of Hanzo's escort, and he had a high status in Amegakure Village.
He can be considered a good contender to be the next leader of Yuyin Village, but he is not the most favorable competitor, especially now that he has been arrested.
But now that he has been captured by Konoha, it depends on Toneri's face whether he can go back, let alone become the next leader.
"Sir, what do you mean?"
Zeng Yoshimaru was quite tactful, and he vaguely understood what Toneri meant.
Toneri didn't mince words with him, "I can let you go back, and at the same time, I can allow you to take a few Ame Ninja back with you. I can even secretly provide you with the strength to help you take the position of the next leader of the Ame Hidden Village."
.”
After hearing Toneri's words, Zeng Yoshimaru couldn't help but tremble.
Not out of fear, but out of surprise.
He never imagined that such a good thing would happen to him.
"What do you want, my lord?"
Toneri held out a finger and slowly leaned down, "Loyalty."
"Loyal?" Zeng Yoshimaru was stunned.
"The Kingdom of Rain is said to be jointly managed by the Daimyo and the leader of the Kingdom of Rain. However, in fact, due to the strength of Hanzo, the Daimyo does not have much say at all. You may not be able to do what he did, but with my support, the entire Kingdom of Rain will
The country can be your voice.
And what you need to pay is very simple, absolute loyalty to me."
It is difficult to control the Kingdom of Rain by yourself, but it is not difficult to control someone to secretly control the Kingdom of Rain.
Of course, the premise is that no one else is also eyeing this small piece of meat in the Country of Rain.
As a small country located in the center of three major countries, its geographical location is still relatively important. It is a good choice to become an intelligence center and hub.
"What choice do you make?"
Plop——
Zeng Yoshimaru knelt down on one knee and said, "My subordinate is willing!"
He used to be Hanzo's subordinate, but now he becomes the subordinate of Toneri who is stronger than Hanzo. It is not an unacceptable thing.
At the same time, it also comes with a position as the leader of Yuyin Village.
As a prisoner, nothing could surprise him more than this. It was like pie in the sky.
Even if he disagrees, if Toneri asks any jounin at random, they will all choose to agree.
"Look into my eyes." Toneri said again.
Soyoshimaru looked into Toneri's eyes without hesitation, and was finally attracted by the mysterious Mangekyo Sharingan.
Of course it is impossible to have 100% trust in such a person.
But if there is a Mangekyō Sharingan, it will be different.
"At midnight today, you choose a few people to take away. Ryoma will cooperate with you and capture Yuyin Village within three days."
"yes!"
At this time, Sokimaru's eyes had turned into pure respect.
