Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Impossible? Then let's keep fighting!
"Since you two are already here, I won't say much more."
With his arms crossed, Senju Tobirama leaned comfortably on the chair, speaking to Shamen and Oonoki.
"If you want to stop the war, fine, two conditions."
Senju Tobirama held up two fingers towards Shamen and Oonoki.
Hearing this, Shamen and Oonoki focused their attention on Senju Tobirama.
Not only were these two curious about Senju Tobirama's conditions, but even Raijin looked at Senju Tobirama with curiosity.
In the original timeline, because Senju Tobirama died early in the Land of Thunder, the second war was started under Sarutobi Hiruzen's leadership.
Although they eventually won, it was a miserable victory.
Now, Raijin was also curious about how much Senju Tobirama could squeeze out of Sunagakure and Iwagakure.
"This war was started by you two, and now that you don't want it to continue, it's only natural to compensate Konohagakure for the losses it suffered. I think that's not too much to ask."
As he spoke, Senju Tobirama took out two pieces of paper from his pocket, placed them on the table, and pushed them towards Shamon and Oonoki.
"Of course, considering the differences between Sunagakure Village and Iwagakure Village, the materials you need to pay are also different."
Seeing this, Shamon and Oonoki exchanged a glance, a polite smile appearing on their faces as they each took their respective lists.
War, if you lose, you should pay some money.
Raijin quickly glanced at the list, not seeing it clearly, but he saw the same sentence at the beginning of each list.
10 Billion ryo.
Ah, this...
Actually, it's not much.
For a big hidden village, it shouldn't be hard to come up with this money.
But Raijin clearly saw the polite smiles on Shamon and Oonoki's faces gradually freeze.
Raijin wasn't surprised by this, after all, on a densely written A4 paper, ten billion ryo doesn't take up much space.
"Hu~"
Oonoki rubbed his aching forehead and slowly let out a breath.
Such compensation is really...
Should I say, as expected of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama?
This compensation is just at Oonoki's psychological bottom line.
Although it's a bit over, overall, it's still acceptable.
But, in negotiations, you have to discuss things.
"Can this be..."
"No."
Before Oonoki could finish, Senju Tobirama politely interrupted him.
Not a single ryo less.
"Alright, Iwagakure agrees to the first condition."
Oonoki pursed his lips and nodded.
Shamon glanced at Oonoki, wanting to discuss with Senju Tobirama again, after all, among the three Kage present, his Sunagakure was the poorest.
But after thinking about it, he gave up, since Oonoki had already agreed, his disagreement wouldn't matter.
After all, Sunagakure is not only the poorest, but also the weakest...
Mainly because poverty and weakness go hand in hand.
"Very well, let me state Konoha's second condition. Since your villages attacked Konoha without reason, for self-protection, Konoha hopes you can send the One-Tail, Four-Tails, and Five-Tails to Konoha."
"Impossible!"
Almost as soon as Senju Tobirama finished speaking, Shamon and Oonoki immediately responded.
At this moment, with the sound of a sword ringing, Shamon and Oonoki's eyes were fixed on Raijin.
It was Raijin's Kusanagi sword that was half unsheathed, and the temperature in the large negotiation room dropped instantly.
"Impossible? Then let's keep fighting."
Raijin knew why Senju Tobirama brought him to the negotiation.
Besides protecting Senju Tobirama, the most important thing was to act as a hawk when needed.
"Honestly, I really want to know the difference between Tsuchikage, Kazekage, and Raikage, Mizukage."
After saying this, Raijin continued to speak to Shamon and Oonoki.
After a pause, he added.
"Is it that they are better at Wind Release and Earth Release?"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Shamon and Oonoki stood up abruptly, their chakra surging, and the atmosphere became tense.
The dignity of being a Kage made Shamon and Oonoki unable to tolerate Raijin's provocation.
Even though Sunagakure and Iwagakure were currently at a disadvantage on the battlefield.
"Raijin!"
Just as the three were about to fight, Senju Tobirama's timely shout stopped them.
Hearing this, Raijin stepped back half a step, sheathed the sword on his back, and looked at Oonoki and Shamon with disdain.
His provocation was obvious.
"Sorry for the scene, geniuses tend to have a bad temper. After all, after taking down the Three-Tails, Six-Tails, Eight-Tails, and Two-Tails on the battlefield, and even killing the Raikage, his pride is high, and even I, as Hokage, have trouble controlling him."
Senju Tobirama said slowly, smiling at Shamon and Oonoki.
His face had a kind smile, paired with his silver hair, he looked like a kind old grandpa.
Heh...
Oonoki couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart. He knew what Senju Tobirama meant.
But the Three-Tails, Six-Tails, Eight-Tails, Two-Tails, and Raikage were all killed by this Uchiha Raijin? This information made Oonoki's mood sink instantly.
So strong... it's terrifying...
"Hokage, you have a great temperament, no wonder Konohagakure has so many geniuses."
Shamon said slowly, his face calm and unreadable.
Although Shamon knew that Raijin and Senju Tobirama were working together to pressure him.
But no matter the truth, it was always worth trying to stir things up. What if Senju and Uchiha were not actually on good terms?
Wouldn't that be a pleasant surprise? "Can't help it, I'm old, can't fight like I used to, now I have to rely on these young kids."
Senju Tobirama chuckled and said to Shamon.
After a pause, Senju Tobirama continued.
"Don't you think so, Second Kazekage?"
Is this negotiation going well?
