Uchiha's opinion

If Iwagakure does not reform, he will die slowly. If he reformes, he will have to burp on the spot.

Huang Tu made it very clear.

In this regard, Asura could only sigh helplessly.

Now he does not intend to give up on his mission. After all, saving the ninja world has been his long-cherished wish since ancient times. Although it seems a bit inappropriate now, Asura is only prepared to slightly revise his theory and way of doing things, and does not intend to give up completely. .

Therefore, Iwagakure and Kumogakure are still valuable.

However, looking at the current situation, we don’t know whether our camp can win the confrontation...

"well……"

Asura sighed and shook his head helplessly.

He could finally see clearly the reality and reality of Iwagakure.

I just hope that when facing the final battle in the future, these seemingly united ninjas can play the expected role.

…

As he prepared to go to the Konoha military formation on the opposite side to negotiate peace, Huang Tu felt extremely heavy.

As early as the "peacekeeping operation" launched by the shogunate against Kumogakure, he and Uchiha Tokumitsu were relatively equal in status, only about half a level lower at most, but they were still more or less equal.

It's just that this peace negotiation is a peace initiative proposed by our own side, but we don't know how the shogunate will make things difficult for us.

Just after sending a messenger to Konoha's main formation to report his intention, Huangtu stood in front of the Iwagakure Ninja Army's position, staring blankly into the distance.

Where is Iwagakure's way out...

The words Asura said touched him.

He saw the suffering of the common people of the Land of Earth, the hardships of the ninjas at the bottom of Iwagakure, the arrogance and licentiousness of the daimyo nobles, and the overt and covert struggles among the top leaders of Iwagakure. He saw it all and kept it in his heart.

But so what?

He couldn't even deal with Tie Shi, the general of the Frost Country's front army!

But his father just flew over and escaped, allowing the unruly Tie Shi to see clearly the current situation and return to the village obediently.

"Lord Loess..."

The demon leech following him suddenly pointed at the shogunate's position in front and exclaimed: "Yes, the other party..."

Huang Tu took a closer look and found that the shogunate's position had once again raised a flag——

"Kirigakure!"

Loess popped out two words from between his teeth!

Kirigakure is here!

The Kirigakure ninjas from the overseas islands in the eastern part of the ninja world came all the way to help!

"It's okay. Uchiha's Red Bei team didn't send out troops, which means this time it's not a full-scale battle!"

Huang Tu said while trying to maintain his calmness.

"I hope so……"

Demon Leech responded worriedly.

…

The messenger sent by Huangtu was quickly received by the shogunate and brought back the request, but...

"Meet him as a subject?"

Demon Leech shouted with disbelief on his face.

"No need to worry."

Instead, Huang Tu calmly shook his head, indicating to the demon leech that there was no need to make a fuss.

"We are asking for help, so we still have to have the proper attitude of asking for help."

After adjusting the ninja tool bag and scroll cover on his body, Huangtu slowly stepped forward.

Huang Tu's accompanying ANBU also remained silent, adjusted his clothes a little and followed him forward.

"Stop comers! Give your name!"

Outside the shogunate's position, three Konoha chuunin shouted loudly to stop Loess and his party from walking slowly.

"Assistant Tsuchikage of Iwagakure and leader of the Jonin class, Huang Tu has come to pay homage to His Excellency General Tokimitsu of the Shogunate. Please pass the news on his behalf!"

Huangtu's face remained unchanged and he responded loudly.

As for saving face, it’s better to let it go first.

"Wait where you are!"

The three chuunin looked at each other and saw that Huang Tu's attitude was unexpectedly good, so they stopped making things difficult. After casually exhorting him, one of them sent someone to report to the rear.

"he came……"

In the temporary Chinese army tent, Hyuga Hizashi was looking ahead with blank eyes, and reported the movement of Loess to Uchiha Tokko.

"Just business as usual."

Uchiha Demitsu gave a casual instruction.

After quickly processing the accumulated government documents, Huang Tu happened to arrive in front of the Chinese army's tent under the attention of all the ninja troops.

"call……"

Huang Tu let out a long sigh and exhaled the depression in his heart. Then he took heavy steps and slowly took off the ninja bag, scroll cover and other equipment on his body. He was able to enter after being inspected by Uzumaki, Hinata and other ninjas.

"Meet General Tokumitsu!"

After entering the account, Huang Tu knelt down on one knee and saluted without saying a word.

Uchiha Tokumitsu just looked at him silently without speaking.

Huang Tu lowered his head and kept kneeling on one knee.

"What's wrong with Iwagakure?"

After a while, Uchiha Tokko said coldly.

"On the order of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, I came to pay homage to His Excellency the General..."

Huang Tu's posture was very low, and his tone was very sincere: "What he is doing is for the peace of the country of Tu."

"Peace……"

Uchiha Tokumitsu chuckled and was noncommittal.

"Iwagakure and his subordinates only have the heart to protect the country, and have no intention of fighting with the shogunate's heavenly army. Our sincerity can be seen from the sun. I hope that you will forgive me if I have made any mistakes in the past."

"You want to completely change things with just a word of understanding, right?"

At this time, Mikigakaki Kisame interjected with sadness and asked: "If peace comes too easily, I don't think Iwagakure will cherish it!"

"Since we're all here, why don't we tell the ninja village to gather the ninja army for a battle first, so that I won't wait in vain!"

Uchiha Fugaku also said loudly.

When Huang Tu heard this, instead of being surprised, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If the shogunate intended to start a war, they would not threaten him verbally. They would probably just cross the border and kill him.

So now the two people are speaking out continuously, most likely just to create bargaining chips.

But for Iwagakure, there is no such thing as a bargaining chip.

"There are 50,000 people in Iwagakure. Although they are in dire straits, they are determined to defend the country."

Loess is equally exaggerated.

"Even one hundred thousand Iwagakure is only one hundred thousand heads..."

Hinata Hizashi snorted coldly and was about to say something sarcastic, but was stopped by Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"It's no use talking more."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said expressionlessly: "So... Loess Jounin, your sincerity in asking for peace is to ask your subordinates to meet Shinjo, right?"

"Absolutely not!"

Huang Tu quickly said: "What we are doing is of course the peace between you and us!"

"So, where is Iwagakure's sincerity?"

Uchiha Demitsu said leisurely.

"Iwagakure will withdraw the ninja troops deployed in the buffer areas such as Tori no Kuni and Stone Country and classify them as demilitarized zones!"

Huang Tu did not continue to struggle and immediately stated Iwagakure's minimum guarantee conditions.

"not enough!"

Uchiha Tokko shook his head.

What is the use of a demilitarized zone? It can't even cover the cost of recruiting ninja troops and distributing relief supplies!

Besides, for the shogunate and the United Company, making less money means suffering big losses, let alone losing money!

"Then let me ask Lord Tokuguang..."

Huangtu also understood that Uchiha Tokumitsu was not so easy to dismiss, so he also asked.

"Southern counties!"

Uchiha Tokko said without hesitation.

"Absolutely impossible!"

Huang Tu's face changed drastically and he flatly refused.

"There are five thousand ninja troops assembled this time, led by me personally. In addition, Mr. Hanzo's headquarters from the Land of Rain has assembled on the flanks. From the Land of Grass, General Firegate's three thousand ninja troops are also ready..."

Uchiha Deguang said his deployment without any care.

When Huang Tu heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

"In addition, Mr. Sakumo is stationed in the northern border, and the ninja army he leads is blocking the way for reinforcements from the west of Kumogakure..."

Following Uchiha Tokko's words, beads of sweat broke out on Huang Tu's forehead.

"As for the dispatched troops deployed by Iwagakure in the Land of Frost, I believe that the joint anti-terrorist forces have the strength to completely eliminate them."

Hinata Hizashi also answered.

"If necessary, Kirigakure headquarters will obey the shogunate's orders and fight to the death across the sea directly into Yunlei Gorge!"

Masahiko Kito, who led two thousand Kirigakure ninja troops on a thousand-mile expedition, also raised his head and answered.

Loess is even more powerless.

Uchiha Tokumitsu and his subordinates almost summed up all the arrangements, but the most terrifying thing was exactly this.

Because the unabashed attitude also shows that the shogunate is extremely confident and has no worries about what countermeasures Iwagakure can use!

"If we hadn't joined forces with the Holy Land..."

Huang Tu relaxed his breathing slightly.

The power of Iwagakure and Kumogakure alone is indeed unable to compete with the comprehensive arrangement of the shogunate.

Even if a full-scale war breaks out, Kumogakure, whose strength has declined, may not even be able to resist the ninja army in the direction of Kirigakure. The shogunate ninja army with absolute control of the sea will suddenly launch surprise troops from behind Iwagakure and march straight into the north of Earth Country. !

But now...

Huangtu calmed down a little, and felt that if Miaomu Mountain and Ryūchi Cave were added, he would still be able to fight.

If it hadn't been for this peace, Loess wouldn't have discovered that there was such a serious loophole in its own defense line!

"Have you thought about it?"

Uchiha Fugaku said coldly.

"With the utmost sincerity, I would like to discuss the peace wishes of the great name of the country of Surface Earth and the Tsuchikage of this village..."

Loess stopped holding it this time, "The Iwagakure garrison will withdraw from the Kingdom of Birds and the Kingdom of Stone, and all its rights and interests will be handed over to the General."

"This is also the greatest sincerity of the Earth Kingdom and this village. If Lord Tokuguang does not agree..."

Loess took a deep breath: "Then, everyone from Iwagakure to another will fight at all costs!"

"The momentum is good."

Uchiha Demitsu said lightly.

"What we are doing is not to plunder small countries..."

"The reason why the United Company Charity Association interferes in the affairs of the Kingdom of Birds is for the livelihood of the civilians, and even the reason why it raises armies is to punish the people!"

Hyuga Hizashi pointed out seriously: "Mr. Huangtu's remarks are still based on the traditional struggle for hegemony in the ninja world, and he has not recognized his own fundamental mistake at all!"

Huang Tu was speechless.

For civilians?

To punish the people?

What is this stuff!

It’s messy even if you keep cutting and sorting it out!

Huang Tu's mind was already a mess.

"Please make it clear..."

In desperation, Huang Tu had to give up the useless struggle with words.

"The Kingdom of Birds and the Kingdom of Stone are separated from the control of the Earth Kingdom and exist as independent countries! Iwagakure is not allowed to interfere!"

Hyuga Hizashi stated the conditions that had been decided on behalf of Uchiha Tokimitsu.

"no problem!"

Huang Tu nodded in agreement without hesitation.

When leaving the village, everyone in Iwagakure understood that if they did not want to start a war immediately, handing over two small vassal countries so that peace could be achieved would be considered magnanimous by the shogunate.

"The will of the people of the Earth Kingdom, the Tachibana clan and the nobles from all over the country cannot ignore or even continue to suppress it!"

Hinata Hizashi glanced at Uchiha Tokimitsu, and continued after receiving permission: "Especially the autonomy request of the people in the southern part of the Earth Kingdom, the Tachibana family and the nobles must agree! Otherwise, the shogunate ninja army will not mind asking for orders for the people!"

"...This matter is definitely not something I can agree to. It still needs His Highness the Daimyo to make a decision. I hope you will be lenient for a few days."

Huang Tu hesitated for a moment and decided to leave this hot potato to the daimyo.

"The last one..."

Uchiha Fugaku took over and said: "Iwagakure shall not deploy more than two thousand ninja troops in the southern counties of Earth Country, and the shogunate will not deploy more than one thousand people in Tori Country."

"In this way, both sides will have a balance of power, and peace will naturally come..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu also said leisurely at this time: "From now on, the war has turned into friendship, wouldn't it be beautiful?"
