Naruto The Thunder Calamity

"Iwagakure wants to negotiate peace."

Taking out a scroll from her chest, Utatane Koharu handed it to Senju Tobirama with both hands.

"Peace talks?"

Seeing the contents of the scroll, Senju Tobirama immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether to negotiate peace or not didn't matter, as long as there were no major problems.

"It should be because we achieved enough results on the battlefields in the directions of the Land of Water and the Land of Thunder, and Iwagakure felt the pressure."

Utatane Koharu said to Senju Tobirama while helping him sit in the main seat and pouring him a cup of tea.

"So, do you think we should negotiate peace?"

Senju Tobirama casually placed the scroll on the table and took a sip from the teacup Utatane Koharu handed him. He asked Utatane Koharu with interest.

"From the map, the Land of Thunder is quite far from the Land of Earth. If the war in the Land of Thunder ends, it will be difficult to directly enter the heart of the Land of Earth."

Utatane Koharu pondered for a moment before replying to Senju Tobirama.

When the teacher asks a question, as a student, you should answer it well.

Whether it's right or wrong doesn't matter.

As a student, making mistakes is normal, right? "If we go through the Land of Iron, there's no guarantee that this so-called neutral country won't attack Konohagakure.

And going through the Land of Waterfall and the Land of Sound carries the same risk.

So, after the war in the Land of Thunder ends, the best way is to retreat to the Land of Fire and then redeploy.

Even if the war in the Land of Water ends, the troops can only be redeployed from within the Land of Fire, either coming here or going to the Land of Wind battlefield."

Utatane Koharu first shared her view on the current war situation with Senju Tobirama.

Senju Tobirama nodded, signaling Utatane Koharu to continue.

"So, no matter what, even if we start redeploying troops now, it will take a long time. And if Iwagakure makes a desperate move during this process, this defense line could be torn apart.

So, I think negotiating peace might be a good choice."

"Yes, you're right. Negotiating peace is indeed a good choice."

Senju Tobirama nodded, agreeing with Utatane Koharu's view.

"Send a message to Iwagakure. If they want to negotiate peace, let that brat Oonoki come to Konohagakure for detailed talks."

Senju Tobirama lightly placed the teacup on the table and said to Utatane Koharu casually.

Koharu's point was valid, but there was one thing she didn't get right: the current situation wasn't as urgent for Konohagakure as it seemed.

For now, the Land of Water was just chasing the already defeated main force of Kirigakure.

And as for the Land of Thunder...

From Senju Tobirama's current sensing, the Flying Thunder God marks had already appeared in Kumogakure Village...

Both Flying Thunder God marks were in the Land of Thunder...

This means that now, Senju Tobirama could directly redeploy most of the forces from two battlefields to support the defense lines in the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind.

As for Iwagakure making a desperate move... whether Oonoki would do that or not, even if he did, the defense line wouldn't be torn apart instantly.

And in a very short time, Senju Tobirama could bring enough strong fighters to the battlefield in the Land of Earth.

"But, won't this affect the peace talks?"

Utatane Koharu frowned and asked Senju Tobirama.

"Of course it will, but you need to understand something.

Moreover, in this war, we are the ones with the advantage."

Senju Tobirama said to Utatane Koharu.

"So, should we leave some room for negotiation?"

Utatane Koharu understood Senju Tobirama's point and hesitated before asking.

"No, no room for negotiation. If they don't agree, we keep fighting. Of course, if we can drag out the negotiations, that would be best."

Senju Tobirama stood up and said to Utatane Koharu.

Senju Tobirama didn't plan to stay here any longer.

Instead of wasting time with Iwagakure, it was more important to mobilize the ninjas from the Land of Thunder and the Land of Water.

"But will Iwagakure really agree to these terms?"

Utatane Koharu asked hesitantly.

"Whether they agree depends on how long you can delay."

Senju Tobirama smiled and disappeared in front of Utatane Koharu.

The longer the time, the greater the advantage for Konohagakure, and the fewer choices Iwagakure will have.

In the end, Iwagakure will have no choice.

...

Land of Thunder, Kumogakure Village.

Looking at the obviously battle-worn Kumogakure Village, Senju Tobirama couldn't help but smile.

Indeed, the battle in the Land of Thunder was over.

In the Raikage's office, Uchiha Kagami, Uchiha Motohide, Senju Osamu, and all the members of Team 7 gathered.

Sitting in the chair usually reserved for the Raikage, playing with the scroll that recorded Kumogakure's forbidden techniques.

Even with Senju Tobirama's temperament, he couldn't help but cross his legs.

This scene...

When Senju Hashirama was Hokage, Senju Tobirama had already imagined it.

If it weren't for his stubborn older brother, there wouldn't be five hidden villages in the ninja world. There would only be one village with all the ninjas.

A smile appeared on his lips, and after a while, Senju Tobirama calmed down.

"Clean up the battlefield as quickly as possible, then go to the Land of Earth to support. Team 7, go directly into the Land of Earth and wait for my orders."

After listening to Uchiha Kagami's report, Senju Tobirama had a general understanding of the situation.

He immediately issued new orders to everyone.

"Alright, Team 7 stays, the rest of you can go back to your duties."

After receiving affirmative responses from the ninjas, Senju Tobirama nodded in satisfaction and spoke to them.

Soon, only Senju Tobirama and Team 7 were left in the Raikage's office.

"This time when you go to the Land of Earth, don't act on your own. Iwagakure wants to negotiate peace, so control yourselves, especially you, Uchiha Raijin."
