The Third Hokage didn't notice Rasa's inner thoughts.
He continued to smile:
"Our Konoha and the Sand Ninja Village have always been firm allies."
Rasa smiled and nodded, agreeing verbally:
"Yes. The Sand Ninja Village and Konoha have been neighbors for decades. Although there were some small disputes in the past, they were all harmless."
Although the Third Hokage knew very well in his heart that Rasa was just speaking diplomatically like himself.
But the Third Hokage showed an expression of agreement on his face and continued:
"Konoha has also been paying attention to the predicament of the Sand. I am also very concerned about the difficulties of our Sand ninja compatriots."
Rasa raised his eyebrows, guessing what the Third Hokage meant by saying this suddenly.
Sure enough, the Third Hokage continued immediately:
"Although our Konoha doesn't have much to help the Sand Ninja Village."
"But gritting our teeth, we can also provide some arable land to support the Sand Ninja Village."
"There are about 20,000 acres of usable arable land at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass."
"Although it has been abandoned for more than thirty years for various reasons, as long as we spend some effort to clear it, we can still catch up with the summer planting."
Rasa laughed in his heart. Gritting teeth?
Who doesn't know that the territory of the Land of Fire is extremely wealthy.
The other four major countries combined may not be comparable to the fertility of the land of the Land of Fire.
But although everyone knows these things, face work still needs to be done.
Rasa took a deep breath, seeming to calm the excitement in his heart, his voice trembling:
"Isn't this inappropriate?"
"The Daimyo of the Land of Fire might be difficult to persuade?"
Seeing this, the Third Hokage stroked his long beard on his chin and continued:
"It doesn't matter. Just sacrificing my old face."
"It's just that although I am the Hokage, Konoha is not my one-man show. I still have to give an explanation."
Rasa lowered his head to hide the look in his eyes.
Sure enough, this old geezer still came to ask for benefits.
But it was normal. If he gave benefits unconditionally, Rasa would feel uneasy instead.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind constantly. Finally, Rasa looked up and smiled:
"Most of our Sand ninjas are boors. When the Cloud sends various ninjutsu copies over, I'm afraid we will be flustered after receiving them."
"Hope Konoha can send a group of ninjas to help organize. At that time, please don't forget to bring enough paper and pens to help record."
The Third Hokage's turbid eyes showed a satisfied look, nodding cheerfully:
"As a firm ally, this little effort is certainly no problem."
Looking at the two people muttering over there in the distance.
Mifune shook his head. With excellent hearing, he naturally heard the content of their conversation.
After a period of time.
Seeing that the two Kage seemed ready to leave.
Mifune, who had waited somewhat impatiently, hurried forward quickly and began to say some polite words.
A few minutes later.
Watching the two iron birds called Swifts disappear into the horizon, Mifune exhaled lightly.
Although the process of this Five Kage Summit was a bit tense, fortunately, it didn't develop to the point of fighting.
As the Land of Iron responsible for organizing the Five Kage Summit.
Although busy for several days, the rewards obtained openly or secretly were also quite rich.
As long as having this friendship.
Even if these ninjas go crazy again in the future and want to fight the Fourth Ninja World War.
They shouldn't involve the Land of Iron, right?
At the border of the Land of Lightning, a Swift entered the Land of Lightning rapidly, flying towards the direction of the Cloud Ninja Village.
"Obviously Hanzo of the Salamander of the Rain Ninja Village was beaten seriously injured by someone else, not by our Cloud Ninja Village. Why should we compensate?"
Yugito Nii sitting on the left seat finally couldn't suppress the anger in her heart and said indignantly.
Killer B adjusted the sunglasses on his face and smiled:
"Of course we know we didn't do it. The Stone Ninja Village and the Mist Ninja Village also know."
"But Konoha and the Sand Ninja Village don't believe it. They are the victors. We don't have the confidence to reason with them."
Although Yugito Nii also knew this, she still complained:
"But we compensate the Rain Ninja Village three hundred million, compensate Konoha, and also copy ninjutsu for the Sand."
"Doing this, we will have to live a tight life for the next ten or twenty years. Not to mention expanding the army, even restoring the number of ninjas before the war is difficult!"
After complaining these few sentences.
Yugito Nii suddenly realized something. She subconsciously looked at the female Sand ninja controlling the Swift.
The female Sand ninja just controlled the Swift silently, her beautiful face expressionless.
As if she didn't hear their conversation.
Killer B also glanced at the female Sand ninja, then said indifferently:
"As long as we think, there are always ways. Don't be discouraged."
Then he took out a paper map from his pocket.
Unfolded the map, looking at the place circled on the map.
He recited silently in his heart:
"So remote. Is it really just growing crops?"
...
"Absolutely a conspiracy. Growing crops? Deceiving a three-year-old child!"
"This land on the map is very desolate. Impossible for crops to survive here!"
A man's roar rang in the meeting room.
Onoki, who had just returned for a few minutes, covered his ears disdainfully.
Kitsuchi sitting next to him only felt his ears buzzing. He frowned:
"Rōshi, speak properly!"
Following Kitsuchi's gaze, one could see an old man with red hair and beard, wearing red clothes.
Seeing Kitsuchi's gaze, the old man turned his head away directly, saying coldly unceremoniously:
"Speak properly?"
"I am speaking properly now!"
This old man was the Four-Tails Jinchūriki Rōshi.
Like Han, the former Five-Tails Jinchūriki, he was also a veteran strongman who had served as a Jinchūriki for decades.
At the same time, he was also a rare opponent of the Third Tsuchikage in the Stone Ninja Village.
Serving as Tsuchikage for decades, the Third Tsuchikage's authority in the Stone Ninja Village was unchallengeable.
Far higher than the authority of the Third Hokage in Konoha.
Rōshi spoke to the Tsuchikage and Kitsuchi so unceremoniously.
Almost all the Rock ninjas present glared at him angrily because of this.
Rōshi, who provoked public anger, looked straight at everyone fearlessly and said coldly:
"What? You still want to replace a new Four-Tails Jinchūriki?"
"Fine. Anyway, facing your discriminatory gazes every day, I'm tired of it long ago!"
The Stone Ninja Village always emphasized collective consciousness. Although this made Rock ninjas incredibly united.
But the situation of Jinchūriki was not very good.
Although it couldn't be said to be discriminated against heavily.
But exclusion of Jinchūriki openly and secretly was also common.
Seeing the situation in front of him about to develop in another direction.
The Third Tsuchikage finally spoke:
"Everyone didn't think so. It's Rōshi yourself thinking wrongly."
Rōshi turned his head abruptly, glaring at the Third Tsuchikage:
"Then let's talk about you. You are indeed senile!"
"Actually can do such a thing as ceding land for peace?"
"Even choosing to compensate money and live a tight life in the future is better than the humiliating thing of ceding land for peace!"
The Third Tsuchikage, who had been holding back his temper, finally couldn't endure it. He jumped onto the table abruptly and shouted angrily:
"Shut up! Everyone compensates money, then how much money do we have to compensate?"
"You, a Jinchūriki kept in captivity, have never managed a household. How do you know my hardship?!"
"If I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have let you attend this meeting!"
Rōshi also stood up angrily, slapped his hands hard, and the table in front of him instantly broke into pieces.
"Then I won't attend this meeting. Really think I like to come to listen to your one-man show?!"
After roaring this sentence, Rōshi flung his hands and walked out of the meeting room without looking back.
Kitsuchi frowned slightly, stood up and said softly:
"Father, were your words just now a bit too much?"
Onoki regretted it as soon as he said that sentence.
But in front of so many people, he still couldn't lose face, so he could only say coldly:
"It's okay. Anyway, for so many years, I quarrel with him dozens of times every year. In the past, he would just sulk for a while and come to apologize actively."
Kitsuchi hesitated for a while, finally sat down and nodded.
Onoki's relationship with Jinchūriki had always been relatively ordinary.
Because the Five-Tails Jinchūriki was replaced by a young man, the relationship was actually okay.
But Rōshi, who had been a Jinchūriki for decades, had a very bad relationship with Onoki.
However, because Jinchūriki couldn't be replaced easily.
Onoki dared not really do anything to him, could only quarrel.
Rōshi returned to his residence all the way under the strange gazes of people around.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Finally, an idea popped up in his mind.
Once this idea popped up, it firmly occupied an important position in his mind and could no longer be waved away.
Half an hour later.
Rōshi's residence was empty.
Only a few knocked-out Stone Anbu lay on the ground.
Outside the Stone Ninja Village.
Running rapidly, Rōshi looked at the surrounding environment, humming while running:
"Humph, a village that cedes land for peace has no value to stay any longer."
Running rapidly for a few hours, having been far away from the Stone Ninja Village.
Rōshi stopped abruptly, frowning at the constantly rotating vortex fluctuations in front of him.
Under Rōshi's gaze, a boy wearing a swirl mask walked out.
"Hehe, didn't expect the first time out. Just happened to meet the Four-Tails Jinchūriki. Has God begun to favor me?"
"You will become my tool in the future, how about it?"
Rōshi frowned. This boy in front of him knew he was a Jinchūriki and dared to speak like this?
"Originally I just ran out and was in a good mood. But since you are so blind, don't blame me."
Two hours later.
Knowing that Rōshi escaped, the Stone Anbu rushing over finally searched here.
Originally without hope, the Anbu suddenly found the terrain in front of them messy, with traces of battle everywhere.
They stayed here and began to search.
A few minutes later.
An Anbu finally found the unconscious Rōshi on a tree.
Rōshi opened his eyes slowly. Facing the Anbu's inquiry.
He said dazedly:
"I met a strange boy. His movement technique was very weird. Although I killed him in the end, I fainted inexplicably because of this."
"Take me back. I want to admit my mistake to Lord Tsuchikage. Sure enough, outside is too dangerous!"
A strong Anbu immediately carried Rōshi on his back and began to run towards the Stone Ninja Village.
The other dozen Anbu continued to search everywhere, trying to find the boy's bones.
The Anbu running hard with Rōshi on his back.
Didn't notice that behind his back, a red light flashed in Rōshi's eyes.
Somewhere deep underground.
Madara Uchiha lying on the bed looked dissatisfiedly at the boy whose eyes, hands, and half of his body were wrapped in bandages.
He blamed:
"You haven't mastered the use of Mangekyō yet, dare to use it on a Jinchūriki?"
"Are you tired of living?"
Obito Uchiha shook his head. Although pain still came from his eyes, a cold smile appeared on his face:
"Opportunity is rare. Besides, just burying a hidden piece to facilitate future actions."
Madara Uchiha saw the expression on the boy's face. The dissatisfaction on his face finally disappeared, nodding in agreement:
"Although the action was a bit reckless, this spirit is indeed very good."
