Mei Terumī put on a polite smile and said no more.
Mei Terumī also knew what Yagura meant.
Between the five major ninja villages, there was still a competitive relationship after all.
Even if they formed an alliance temporarily for a momentary benefit or a common enemy, it could never last long.
The Mist Ninja Village was still allies with the Cloud Ninja Village and the Stone Ninja Village now, but it might not be the case in ten or twenty years.
Therefore, the heavier the losses of the allies, the more beneficial it was to the Mist Ninja Village.
Thinking of this, Mei Terumī looked at the clouds ahead, her charming eyes flickering constantly.
This was also probably the reason why the Fourth Mizukage surrendered so decisively.
Yagura also chuckled and said no more.
His short legs kicked back and forth under the seat constantly, looking quite innocent.
The atmosphere in the Swift fell into silence again.
...
Rasa lay on the seat of the Swift, looking silently ahead.
As long as this Five Kage Summit was finished, he would concentrate on the development of the Sand Ninja Village next.
Killing the Third Raikage father and son, and changing the process and result of the Third Ninja World War, compressing the Third Ninja World War that originally lasted for several years into half a month.
The system reward obtained was 200,000 Skill Points and a newly added special exchange page.
Rasa used those 200,000 Skill Points to buy several blueprints.
All were flying ninja tools several times or even a dozen times better than the Swift.
Although the resources consumed were also a dozen times more than the Swift, and the production time was in months.
But as long as having these things, combined with the Swift.
More than ten years later, Rasa's dream of unifying the ninja world could begin to be implemented.
As for that newly added special exchange page, there were no powerful things, not even a bit of lethal items.
All were daily necessities, but it was these daily necessities that made Rasa ecstatic.
Half an hour later.
Two Swifts arrived at a heavily guarded place in the Land of Iron at the same time.
The Third Hokage and Rasa walked out of the Swifts at the same time.
Looking at the samurai wearing armor around, the Third Hokage blinked hard, feeling unreal in his heart.
Only flew for a few hours, actually arrived in the Land of Iron from the Land of Fire so quickly?
Although he had learned from Minato Namikaze that the Swift was extremely fast, and he had witnessed the speed of the Swift.
But after taking a Swift personally, the Third Hokage truly had a real understanding of the speed of the Swift.
Rasa looked at the complicated expression on the Third Hokage's face. He showed a gentle smile on his face and said softly:
"Lord Hokage, how do you feel after taking the Swift personally?"
The Third Hokage tried hard to calm down the emotions in his heart, stroking his gray beard on his chin slightly with his withered right hand, praising:
"Seeing is believing. Not only fast but also no discomfort at all."
Rasa didn't answer the Third Hokage's words immediately.
Instead, he looked around a few times and found that those Iron Country samurai still stood in place dutifully, and there was no receptionist.
It seemed that Mifune didn't expect him and Konoha to arrive so soon.
After observing the surrounding situation, Rasa continued:
"Then Lord Hokage should also be clear now. One Swift for the ownership of an unwanted overseas desert island, shouldn't be a loss, right?"
The Third Hokage nodded hurriedly and smiled:
"Not a loss, not a loss!"
"After returning to Konoha later, Lord Kazekage can start choosing!"
Rasa gave a "Mmh" and started chatting about other trivial matters with the Third Hokage.
Asking Konoha for an overseas desert island, although obtaining the Third Hokage's consent a few hours ago.
But Rasa also expected it wouldn't be so smooth.
Hawks like Danzo might not say anything to his face.
But would definitely block the Third Hokage behind his back and influence his will.
Although the final result wouldn't change much, it would inevitably delay and wrangle for a few months or even longer.
But now that the Third Hokage experienced the benefits of the Swift personally and truly made up his mind.
Maybe the Sand Ninja Village could get an island tomorrow.
"Lord Hokage, Lord Kazekage, why did you come so early?"
Just when Rasa and the Third Hokage were chatting casually.
A middle-aged man with a long beard on his mouth and chin, his head wrapped in white bandages.
His overall image looked somewhat strange, walked quickly under the escort of several samurai, saying in surprise while walking.
This middle-aged man was the General of the Land of Iron, Mifune, a samurai who could jump to Kage-level relying solely on swordsmanship.
Although the Sand Ninja Village had notified in advance that the Five Kage Summit would start today.
But Mifune, who didn't have much concept of the Swift's speed, made an empiricist mistake and misjudged their arrival time.
Rasa shook his head indifferently.
The Third Hokage smiled and chatted with Mifune.
Seeing that the two Kage had no intention of going in, Mifune could only stand there and chat with them.
Before long, Mifune suddenly looked up vigilantly, his calloused hand subconsciously gripping Kurosawa worn at his waist.
Only to see a black dot flying constantly towards this side from the distant horizon, accompanied by a buzzing sound.
"It's okay. This is the Swift picking up the Kage of each village."
Hearing the Kazekage's explanation, Mifune relaxed his vigilance.
A dozen breaths later, the Swift flying from afar landed slowly in front of them.
A boy wearing sunglasses walked down first.
Seeing this boy, Rasa raised his eyebrows, walked up and smiled:
"Oh my, Killer B, no, should say Fourth Raikage A. Long time no see. This is our first real meeting, right?"
Killer B showed an enthusiastic smile on his face covered by sunglasses, walked up quickly, and shook Rasa's hand hard.
"This is also my first real meeting with Lord Kazekage."
"But to correct a small mistake of Lord Kazekage, I am Killer B, didn't change my name."
Although Yugito Nii standing next to Killer B looked serious, she sighed in her heart.
Killer B, who had become extremely mature, became unreasonable in this matter.
According to convention, every Raikage would change their original name to A after taking office.
Therefore, every generation of Raikage was A.
But Killer B insisted on not changing his name, insisting on using his original name.
Everyone couldn't beat him, so they could only helplessly let him break the tradition of the Cloud Ninja Village.
Rasa glanced at Yugito Nii not far away from the corner of his eye.
Although Yugito Nii was only in her teens now, it could be seen that she was a rare beauty.
Rasa could see the shadow of Yugito Nii with a face not to be trifled with more than ten years later in the original work from her eyebrows and expressions.
After shaking hands with Rasa hard, Killer B shook hands with the smiling Third Hokage, but this time the handshake was very light.
Before long, another Swift flew from the horizon and landed slowly.
A boy looking thirteen or fourteen years old, with green hair and purple eyes, jumped down gently from the Swift, landing steadily.
Mei Terumī following closely behind him saw this childish scene of the Mizukage. She held her forehead helplessly, feeling inexplicably losing face completely.
"Oh my, Lord Third Hokage, Lord Fourth Kazekage, Lord Fourth Raikage have all arrived."
Yagura showed a gentlemanly mature smile on his face.
But because of his baby face itself, this gentlemanly mature smile was not mature at all, looking very cute instead.
The Third Hokage looked down at Yagura, the smile on his face unchanged, but sighed again in his heart.
Among the Five Kage present, except for himself and the Third Tsuchikage.
The other three Kage were all young Kage who had been in office for only a few months.
It seemed that after this time, he should also prepare for retirement.
The four Kage smiled, formed a circle, and chatted enthusiastically. The atmosphere looked extremely lively and harmonious.
Just looking at their current performance.
No one would think that a few days ago, they were fighting each other to the death.
Looking at their appearance, Mifune, who couldn't intervene, breathed a sigh of relief.
This was also his first time hosting the Five Kage Summit. When informed by the Sand Ninja Village a few days ago that the Five Kage Summit would be held here.
He nervously made many arrangements, just afraid they would fight.
Looking at it now, he was a bit over-worried.
These existences already at the top of ninjas.
Compared with ninjas who fought and killed at the drop of a hat, their style was obviously closer to nobles.
A few minutes later.
The belated Third Tsuchikage looked at the lively atmosphere.
He snorted coldly, with no smile on his face, not even a symbolic polite smile:
"Humph humph, the defeated party and the victorious party chatting so passionately. I have lived for so many years, really the first time seeing this."
"Those who don't know would think only the Stone Ninja Village is the defeated party, and the four villages are discussing dividing the Stone together!"
The originally enthusiastic atmosphere was instantly cooled down by the Third Tsuchikage's words.
Seeing this, Kitsuchi standing behind immediately whispered anxiously:
"Father!"
As if not hearing his son's voice, the Third Tsuchikage continued coldly:
"What's the use of you pretending to be enthusiastic?"
"Could it be that because of this, those two guys will ask you to compensate less?"
Fourth Mizukage Yagura shook his head, still with a smile on his face.
Fourth Raikage Killer B adjusted his sunglasses, pressing down Yugito Nii who became somewhat irritable because of Onoki's words.
The Third Hokage still had a smiling expression on his face, not affected by the Third Tsuchikage's rude words at all.
He took time to look at Rasa standing next to him, surprisingly finding that Rasa was still smiling.
Originally, the Third Hokage thought that a young man like Rasa, especially as the victorious party.
Should more or less change his face because of Onoki's rude words.
But looking at it now, this young Fourth Kazekage was more shrewd than he imagined?
With a gentle smile on his face, Rasa looked at the angry Onoki and said warmly:
"Lord Tsuchikage, don't think that with your preemptive approach, we will ask your village to compensate less because of this."
Onoki seemed not to hear Rasa's words. He walked in the front with an unchanged expression, saying coldly:
"What are you still standing here for?"
"Let's go, finish this so-called Five Kage Summit quickly."
...
In a secret room, the Kage of the five villages sat on chairs respectively, looking at each other silently.
Mifune first said a few opening remarks, then sat aside and stopped talking.
According to the order discussed in Konoha before.
Rasa smiled and said first:
"Although I had a good conversation with the three Kage before, now we are negotiating. Please don't blame me for speaking harshly."
Before they could speak, Rasa continued:
"We are ninjas. Let's not learn from those nobles spending most of the day circling around. Just discuss conditions simply."
Onoki nodded in agreement.
Like the Third Hokage, he experienced the era of establishing ninja villages.
Unlike the Third Hokage who became smooth like a politician, Onoki still retained the characteristics of most ninjas.
Rasa looked at Killer B, naming the Cloud Ninja Village first:
"The Cloud Ninja Village invaded our territory directly, causing thousands of casualties to Sand ninjas, and destroying the desert soil environment, causing great ecological damage."
"You need to compensate our Sand Ninja Village two billion!"
Even Killer B, whose shrewdness was many times deeper than before, heard this number, the corner of his mouth twitched.
Two billion?
Even the entire Land of Lightning, the annual income was only a dozen billion.
And deducting various expenses, the actual income into the treasury was only a little over a hundred million.
The income of the Cloud Ninja Village was even less.
This guy really opened his mouth like a lion.
Yugito Nii standing next to him clenched her teeth tightly, desperately suppressing the impulse in her heart.
Killer B said deeply:
"Lord Kazekage, isn't this compensation amount too large?"
"And Sand ninjas suffered thousands of casualties?"
"We drove straight in at that time and encountered no decent resistance at all. Sand ninja casualties were at most three or four hundred. Where did thousands come from?"
"As for the so-called environmental damage, that was all destroyed by your Swifts, right?"
Rasa shook his head and said calmly:
"When you led most of the surviving Cloud ninjas to escape, there were still a few Cloud ninjas left in place. When our Sand ninjas captured them, casualties were heavy, and the environment was also destroyed at that time."
Killer B knew this was Rasa talking nonsense.
At that time, the Cloud ninjas who didn't have time to be taken away were at most four or five hundred. And when he led people to escape, they were already fleeing everywhere, having no will to fight.
How could they still cause such great losses to the Sand ninjas responsible for capture?
But as the defeated party, and the defeated party that could be wiped out at any time.
Even if the opponent opened his mouth like a lion and talked nonsense with open eyes, he had to admit it.
Killer B could only say helplessly:
"We absolutely can't afford so much compensation. Can we exchange it for other things?"
Rasa was waiting for his sentence. He immediately continued:
"A D-rank ninjutsu one hundred thousand ryo, C-rank ninjutsu two hundred thousand ryo... Forbidden Jutsu two million ryo."
The Third Tsuchikage sitting next to him was already sweating profusely, but dared not speak again.
Killer B didn't answer, but lowered his head silently.
Seeing this, the guards of each Kage tensed their bodies silently, ready to rush up at any time.
Mifune also held Kurosawa worn at his waist, feeling helpless in his heart.
Sure enough, still have to fight.
But contrary to Mifune's expectations, the Fourth Raikage just lowered his head for a few seconds, raised his head again, and said calmly:
"Okay. We will give ninjutsu with a total price of one hundred million."
"For the remaining 1.9 billion, we will pay in installments over nineteen years."
A look of surprise flashed in Rasa's eyes. Didn't expect Killer B to grow much more than he imagined.
But in this way, the rhetoric he originally thought of had to be changed.
"You can pay off one billion in five years. For the remaining nine hundred million, you can pay in another way."
"You can allocate one hundred thousand acres of land in the Land of Lightning to us. That nine hundred million will be regarded as buying the permanent usage right of this land."
As soon as these words came out, Killer B's face changed instantly, his fists clenched tightly together.
Unprecedented humiliation appeared in Killer B's heart.
At this moment, Killer B even just wanted to die here rather than agree to this humiliating treaty.
Onoki also frowned tightly.
Did the Sand Ninja Village want to create a state within a state, a military base in the Land of Lightning?
If the Sand was really allowed to do this, then the Cloud would be finished.
The Third Hokage also frowned slightly.
If the Sand Ninja Village was really so ambitious, then his future plan would have to be completely changed significantly.
Yagura, who knew the inside story, also frowned very cooperatively.
The atmosphere dropped to freezing point instantly.
"Oh my, everyone seems to have misunderstood."
"I just want a piece of land for some planting. I guarantee no base or garrison will be built there, only dispatching one hundred ninjas in to do protection."
"And everyone hasn't farmed, right? One hundred thousand acres of land sounds huge, but converted into square kilometers, it's just a little bit. Such a little land can't do what you imagine."
As soon as Rasa said this, the expressions on the faces of the Kage were no longer so ugly.
Killer B also unclenched his clenched fists and said deeply:
"Really just planting, no garrison?"
Rasa patted his chest and guaranteed:
"No more than one hundred ninjas, planting personnel no more than two hundred, totaling three hundred people."
"If the Raikage is still worried, you can dispatch a ninja garrison to observe around."
Killer B's eyes hidden by sunglasses flickered.
If only like this, it was acceptable.
Planting some things was not a big deal.
But just in case.
A three-hundred-strong ninja troop must be stationed around permanently at that time.
However, persuading the Daimyo would take some effort.
"Buying the permanent usage right of one hundred thousand acres of land, nine hundred million is not enough. 1.9 billion!"
"No problem. Let's sign the surrender agreement on the spot now!"
Killer B originally just wanted to bargain, but didn't expect Rasa to agree in one breath.
He regretted instantly, but words were spoken, could only brace himself to prepare to sign the agreement.
Seeing the atmosphere somewhat strange, Yagura stood up appropriately to smooth things over.
Two hours later.
Rasa smilingly watched several Swifts take off.
From the Land of Earth and the Land of Water, he also obtained the permanent usage right of 105,000 acres of land respectively.
But as a price, he couldn't get other things from the Stone and Mist villages.
But it didn't matter. The Mist Ninja Village was actually already his.
The cheerful Third Hokage also watched them leave like Rasa.
War reparations obtained by Konoha.
Except for several hundred million monetary compensation, the rest were various materials.
The Land of Water, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Earth would send designated specialty materials worth one hundred million to Konoha every year for ten years.
These sent materials and products were all things Konoha lacked.
As for land, the Third Hokage wouldn't choose to waste the compensation amount asking for land only for planting like Rasa.
The Land of Fire was extremely fertile, and fertile land could be seen everywhere.
Unlike the Sand being so poor.
"Lord Kazekage is really formidable for a young man. You know, in the previous two Ninja World Wars, Konoha never gained benefits from defeated countries."
Hearing the Third Hokage's words, Rasa chuckled.
If he hadn't come.
According to the development of the original work.
Konoha would have gained benefits from the Sand after the original Third Ninja World War ended, taking away several percent of the Sand's mission share.
