Chapter 28: The Hidden Cloud's Delegation
Hidden Cloud Village, compared to Hidden Leaf, they selected the Third Raikage much faster. The style of Hidden Cloud Village was very similar to the mafia. After the Third Raikage eliminated the coup of the Gold and Silver Brothers, he naturally inherited his father, the Second Raikage's, position.
Heir in a rush, a lot of mess waiting for Third Raikage to deal with, now the most important problem is how to calm the anger of Hidden Leaf.
Third Raikage looked at the corpse of Tobirama Senju in front of him, having a headache. If he didn't handle it well, Hidden Cloud Village might have the risk of being destroyed.
This matter was not easy to solve!
They said they would negotiate together and not fight, rest for a few years, and then compete again. As a result, Hidden Cloud Village did not manage the Gold and Silver Brothers below, and directly launched a coup, killing the Second Hokage who came to negotiate.
Although their Second Raikage also died, Hidden Leaf certainly didn't care about this. What did the death of your Raikage have to do with Hidden Leaf? They said they would negotiate and not fight, but your people launched a sneak attack?
Did they still have the face of the number one village in the ninja world?
Putting himself in Hidden Leaf's shoes, Third Raikage knew that they would definitely go crazy to the death.
Now that things had come to this, they could only hope that Hidden Leaf could restrain themselves and not go crazy to perish with Hidden Cloud Village.
In that case, Third Raikage could only lead Hidden Cloud Village to fight Hidden Leaf to the end.
A few days later, the messengers of Hidden Cloud Village came to Hidden Leaf, wanting to renegotiate a peace agreement with Hidden Leaf, and discuss the return of the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's body.
Considering that Hidden Cloud Village was at fault first, they could make concessions on the previous agreement.
In response, Hidden Leaf urgently convened a meeting. With Tobirama Senju's body about to be sent back, it was meaningless for Mito Uzumaki to delay any longer, and they still had to face reality.
At the meeting, the quarrel was very fierce. The demands of the Senju clan's jonin were very simple, that was to fight to the end!
Their clan leader and Hokage were killed by the enemy village, and they didn't even fart. Then Hidden Leaf might as well disband as soon as possible, and everyone play their own game.
Hidden Leaf wanted revenge!!
Blood debt must be paid in blood!!!
Such voices rose and fell, almost occupying the mainstream.
But the reality was very cruel. Soldiers were a major issue for the country, a place of life and death, and they had to be investigated.
Hidden Leaf could not launch a decent battle now, and they really couldn't get any money out of their pockets.
No money!
War was to burn money!
Who would pay?
Could they rely on the nobles of the Land of Fire?
But such words could not be said, did they understand political correctness!
To avenge the Hokage, such a slogan was correct.
Even if Uchiha Nan sat below, wishing to clap his hands and cheer, he had to pretend to be indignant, wishing to rush to the battlefield immediately and fight Hidden Cloud to the death.
The slogan must be loud!
But if they really wanted to send troops to fight Hidden Cloud, the clan leaders present had to weigh how long their business could last. They couldn't sell their ancestral property to the black-hearted bankers of the Land of Fire.
Those bastards were a bunch of black-hearted ghosts on weekdays.
They were sitting firmly on the fishing platform. As long as you dared to sell, they would dare to offer a low price that they themselves felt was black-hearted.
It didn't matter if you didn't sell, the price would be lower later.
Mito Uzumaki looked at the ninja who were clamoring for revenge below. The clan leaders of the various families were full of grief and did not say a word. Their attitude was clear enough.
They could take revenge, but not now.
Hidden Leaf was about to run out of oil, and if they continued to fight, everyone would be finished.
A war would not only deal with Hidden Cloud Village, but also Hidden Rock Village and Hidden Mist Village, maybe one against three.
Finally, Mito Uzumaki led the clan leaders of the various families to a small room for the final meeting.
After a discussion among the clan leaders, they could not fight, but they had to make a full gesture so that the outside ninja villages would not feel that Hidden Leaf was weak.
If they didn't even dare to say a word when the Hokage died, how could Hidden Leaf lead the surrounding younger brothers, such as Hidden Grass Village?
Uchiha Nan certainly had no objection to this. It was not the Uchiha clansmen who died, but Tobirama Senju.
Mito Uzumaki personally made a war mobilization to the ninjas of Hidden Leaf, vowing to seek justice and pay the blood debt.
But secretly, the clan leaders of the various families issued orders to the family ninjas in the direction of Hidden Cloud Village, asking them to be restrained.
They could not take the initiative to attack. Of course, if Hidden Cloud Village dared to send troops to attack again, there was really nothing to talk about, and they would perish together.
"If Hidden Cloud doesn't give a satisfactory answer this time, Hidden Leaf will fight Hidden Cloud to the death!"
Facing the ninjas of Hidden Cloud Village, Hidden Leaf officially issued the most severe diplomatic rhetoric, making the messengers of Hidden Cloud Village feel that this trip to Hidden Leaf might be a one-way trip.
But with their mission in mind, they still negotiated with Hidden Leaf.
On the basis of the original peace agreement, Hidden Cloud Village was willing to add 4 billion Ryo of compensation to Hidden Leaf. 1 billion would be paid in the first year, and the remaining compensation would be paid off in five years.
Hidden Cloud Village, which was poor and ringing, made a major concession because of its guilt. They had no money, and they really couldn't get more. People had starved to death in the village.
Grain merchants had long since manipulating prices the grain to a sky-high price, three times higher than the price in peacetime.
Third Raikage naturally cracked down on such merchants, killing several black-hearted merchants, but it was useless.
But this was a business with several times the profit, enough to make people risk their lives.
What's more, the grain merchants had people behind them. The war made a fortune by raising grain prices, and it wasn't just you who made money. Which country's grain prices didn't roll over?
Look at the neighboring Hidden Sand Village, the grain price has almost to turn over five or six times, and they didn't say a word. Was your Hidden Cloud Village special?
Then the Raikage, who killed the merchants, was warned.
Seeing that Hidden Cloud Village had lowered its posture, the rest of the matter was easy to handle.
Threaten, ask for a sky-high price, then quarrel, release a few harsh words to each other, and if it didn't work, they would fight to perish together, and finally return to reality.
Hidden Leaf added another 500 million Ryo, and Third Raikage gritted his teeth and admitted it.
Money was just something outside the body.
Starving ten people was a string of numbers, and starving ten thousand people was also a string of numbers.
He couldn't help it, the reality was so cruel.
The villagers of Hidden Cloud Village would suffer, and he would bear the infamy.
The last thing to be discussed at the meeting was when to send Tobirama Senju's body back, which was a major event for Hidden Leaf.
They would hold a village funeral for Tobirama Senju, and hold it in a grand manner!
All the clan leaders of Hidden Leaf would participate in person, and the scene must be grand!
They would also notify the nobles of the Land of Fire, and all of them would come to the funeral.
Hidden Leaf would collect a wave of funeral expenses from the nobles, using the Hokage's funeral to amass wealth, although it was a bit shabby.
But making money was not shameful.
The family was about to run out of food, and the continuous fiscal deficit made Hidden Leaf unable to make ends meet.
If Tobirama Senju had a spirit in heaven, he would probably agree. He contributed to Hidden Leaf while alive, and dedicated himself to Hidden Leaf after death.
This was the will of fire that did his best and died!
