"The Cloud Ninja's side must admit the fact that the leader of the diplomatic mission, Takayama, robbed the people of the Hyuga clan and take back the false news that Konoha murdered Takayama. In addition, the Cloud Ninja's side must also admit that you were the first to start the war and formally apologize to Konoha."
On the negotiation table, the representatives of Konoha put forward various requests to the Cloud Ninja's side. At the same time, the Cloud Ninja's face was ugly, either loudly retorting or forced to accept.
"We are willing to admit the truth about Takayama, but Konoha clearly started this war; how did it become our Cloud Ninja's first war, and we must apologize? This is too much! We firmly refuse!"
"Your Cloud Ninja's diplomat group first put forward all kinds of insincere negotiation conditions, and then they shamelessly used Takayama's matter as a scapegoat. Not only did the negotiation conditions become more serious, but they also kept on shouting that they would start a war if they did not sign it. If not for the fact that we couldn't bear it anymore, how could we start a war with the Cloud Ninjas? In the end, this war was caused by your Cloud Ninjas!"
"You are trying to force your words!"
"This is not a forced argument. This is a fact! The Cloud Ninjas must be responsible for the outbreak of the war and apologize. This is the prerequisite for the negotiation. If you disagree, there is no need to talk about it."
"."
....
"The Land of Hot Water, the defence of the Land of Frost, is handed over to Konoha? No, no, no! The appetite of your Konoha is too big; this is absolutely impossible!"
"Why can't I? Konoha previously protected the Land of Hot Water, but it was shamelessly taken over by your Cloud Ninjas a few years ago. Why? Why are you so quick to deny it?"
"Then, the Land of Hot Water can be handed over to you, but the Land of Frost has always thought that it is the territory of the Land of Lightning, so you can't take it anymore."
"Sorry, the fact that the Konoha Ninjas occupy the Land of Frost can not be changed, and Konoha has no intention of spitting out the things they swallowed. If you don't agree, you can try to take it by force."
"You! You are too much!"
"Who asked you to be the losing side? Do you want something you can't get on the battlefield? What a joke!"
"."
...
Do the Cloud Ninjas compensate Konoha for four billion? That can't be!
This amount is too exaggerated. We can only do this if we sell the Hidden Cloud Village!
"Even if we can't raise it, we can still split it. Konoha can wait for more time."
"This is not a matter of whether we split it or not, but four billion and two compensation. If this is the sincerity of Konoha, then we can split up! If we really have to compensate four billion, all the Cloud Ninjas would rather die in battle!"
"Haha! Don't be impulsive! Didn't we say that we can talk about everything? Then what is the price in your heart?"
"Four... forty million?"
"I think we should continue to fight."
"100 million! Our Cloud Ninjas are less rich than your Konoha. This is the highest limit."
"3.9 billion!"
"How much worse is this than 4 billion?"
"."
...
It was already noon. In the several hours of negotiations that had started in the morning, Konoha and the Cloud Ninjas were arguing with each other, their faces flushed red.
Although the Cloud Ninjas had exhausted all of their abilities, under the circumstances where the general trend was not around, although they struggled a few times, they still had to follow Konoha's wishes.
By now, most of the treaty's terms had been settled, but only the Cloud Ninjas captured by Konoha had a fierce conflict.
After the peace talks were signed, Konoha would release all the captives, including the two-tailed beasts, so that the Hidden Cloud Village could recover quickly.
However, this was unacceptable in Yuki and Konoha.
"Since you want to sign the agreement, then all the Ninjas captured by Konoha should be released. This is the most basic requirement. Why don't you agree?"
"To ensure that the Cloud Ninjas fulfil the agreement before all the terms are fulfilled, the Cloud Ninjas should be detained by Konoha."
"With the Land of Thunder and Hidden Cloud Village as a guarantee, they will definitely fulfil the conditions. Your Konoha is doing this because you don't want to let them go!"
"Hidden Cloud Village's reputation? I'm sorry, but your Cloud Village's reputation is no longer as good as before."
"."
The two sides continued to argue.
In the end, just like Yuki, Ei, who only spoke during the negotiations, couldn't bear to watch any longer. He slammed the table in anger and shouted, "Hokage! The last few thousand Ninjas are the foundation of the Hidden Cloud Village. We have to release them all! Otherwise, there is no need to start the peace talks!"
In this regard, Yuki first reached out to stop Tsunade, who was about to explode. Then he looked at Ei and said in a calm tone,
"Lord Raikage, I hope you understand the truth. The peace talks aim to prevent the Land of Thunder and the Hidden Cloud Village from facing the flames of war, not because of the captives. The latter is the spoils of the war of Konoha, and it is not something you can easily take back."
"Of course, to show the sincerity of Konoha and the Cloud Ninja's peace in the future, Konoha is willing to release the prisoners, but we can not release them all at once."
The prisoners in his hands were undoubtedly the best way to crush the Cloud Ninjas in the future. In this regard, Yuki was very determined. After a few words of struggle, he could only agree with this plan.
With the Hokage, the negotiation staff of both sides could also continue to negotiate with him.
Half an hour later, both sides reached an agreement on the matter of the prisoners.
Both sides agreed that after the contract was signed, Konoha would first release 1000 Cloud Ninjas, and then the 3,000 would return in five years.
This was also to ensure that the Cloud Ninjas would not delay the compensation for the five-year deadline.
On the other side, no matter how dissatisfied the tailed beast was, under the orders of Yuki Senju, Konoha still insisted on signing the contract and releasing Killer Bee three years later. Five years later, they would release Yugito.
The matter of the prisoners was settled, and some minor details remained. The two sides soon finished dealing with each other.
At this point, Konoha - the Cloud's peace treaty was finished.
The specific content was as follows.
First, the Hidden Cloud Village admitted the fact that they started the war and formally apologized to Konoha.
Second: The Land of Hot Water, the Land of Frost, will be stationed by Konoha from now on, and the Hidden Cloud Village can not interfere.
[Third: Hidden Cloud Village has paid a total of 2 billion to Konoha's war, which will be over in five years. ]
[Fourth: Hidden Cloud in the Frost and Thunder border. The number of troops stationed on the border can be a maximum of a hundred, and Konoha will abide by this rule. ]
[Fifth: Konoha has the right to use Turtle Island, which belongs to Hidden Cloud Village, three times. ]
The information on Turtle Island that could give birth to a perfect-tailed beast was reported by Yuki Senju. Originally, the people of Konoha wanted to take it away directly, but after seeing the excited expressions of the Cloud Ninjas, Yuki stopped this idea.
Konoha only had one Kyubi. It was enough to have the right to use Turtle Island three times.
As for what to do when the consumption is over?
At that time, whether or not the Land of Thunder still existed was a problem, so there was naturally no need to care about the ownership of Turtle Island.
Other than these five most important terms, the rest were just minor details and were not important, so there was no need to mention them.
Overall, even if the Cloud Ninjas struggled for a long time, Konoha became the big winner in the end.
The apology was given to the Cloud Ninjas, and all of them cut their flesh.
After this contract took effect, the Hidden Cloud Village would not be able to develop in the next ten to twenty years.
But so what? This world still spoke with its fists.
Although the Cloud Ninja was very disappointed, compared to the consequences of Konoha's army attacking the Land of Thunder, what they were fighting, for now, was already the limit.
"Mr Raikage, please sign your name here."
After signing his name on the two identical contracts and putting on the Hokage's seal, Yuki handed it to the 4th Raikage with a smile on his face.
The latter took it expressionlessly and then picked up the pen on the table. After pausing for a few seconds in front of everyone, he finally signed his name on the two contracts and also stamped the 4th Raikage Seal.
So far, the peace treaty between Konoha and the Cloud Ninjas has legally come into force,
Naturally, Konoha was happy and encouraged.
The Cloud Ninjas were bitter and relieved.
"Peace has finally arrived, Lord Raikage." Yuki smiled and stretched out his right hand to Ei.
"Peace..." For the first time, the 4th Raikage Ei, who felt that peace was hard to come by, also sighed with emotion and reached out his hand.
One white and one black, a slender and thick palm was clenched together, declaring that Konoha and the Cloud Ninjas officially ended the war.
It also showed that more than half of the continent was affected from the beginning of the 43 years in Konoha. The third war that lasted for nine years finally drew the final sentence today.
It seemed that the people of the Ninja Realm who heard this news were all happy that the long-lost peace had finally come.
They were even looking forward to the next ten years, and there would be no more war in decades.
It was just that what they were thinking was just an extravagant hope in the end.
Just like the first, second, and third times, the world war continued to erupt.
The so-called peace was always just temporary.
In a situation where the conflict between each other had never been resolved, the time of peace was accumulating for the future war.
This was something that Yuki knew; the 4th Raikage in front of him knew, and so did the other village ninjas.
Originally, if Obito did not take the initiative to declare war on the entire Ninja World, the 4th form of the Ninja World War would eventually erupt between the five major powers that had finished recuperating.
Fortunately, now that Yuki was the 4th Hokage, all of this would change in his hands.
Now, this change had already begun.
