Chapter 228 Truce? Confused!

Now, with the Fire Country Daimyo's request for peace, except for the Wind Country, which did not respond because Naraku needed to make a decision, the Daimyo of the other three countries have coordinated with their respective ninja villages.

The best proof is the easing of the war.

Although the Hidden Rock Village, the Hidden Cloud Village, and the Hidden Mist Village have not withdrawn their troops, their offensive against Konoha has all stopped.

The Fire Country Daimyo's request for peace is naturally not just a mouth, but a huge benefit.

Now these benefits are the bargaining chips for the Daimyo to coordinate with the ninja village.

"According to the current situation, if the other three parties really withdraw their troops, the Hidden Sand Village alone can't do anything to Konoha, and this is not conducive to Ye Cang's control over the Hidden Sand Village."

Naraku tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about the pros and cons of the current situation.

Although Konoha is no longer as glorious as before, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

If the Hidden Sand Village alone goes to fight Konoha, not to mention that the chance of defeating Konoha is very small, the casualties will definitely increase.

"Then let's stop for a while!" Naraku stopped tapping the table, and made a decision.

The armistice actually didn't affect him much.

Although this would give Konoha a chance to breathe, it would also give the Star Country more time to develop.

Compared to Konoha's breathing, Naraku believed that his development would definitely be faster.

Besides, the armistice was not without cost.

In order to weaken Konoha's foundation, Naraku immediately sent a message to Ye Cang, preparing to ask for more benefits from the Fire Country.

The reason was also very sufficient, that is, the Wind Country was too poor, and the previous two Ninja World Wars suffered great losses, so it was okay to want a truce, but the Fire Country Daimyo needed to give enough benefits.

The Fire Country was the logistical guarantee of Konoha.

To obtain benefits from the Fire Country Daimyo was also weakening Konoha.

"This is simply a lion's mouth!"

At the Fire Country Daimyo's mansion, when the envoy sent by the Wind Country arrived, the request for a truce made the Fire Country Daimyo angry and slammed the table.

But this was just the beginning.

The other three countries naturally did not mind taking more benefits.

So when the Wind Country took the lead, the other three countries who learned about the situation also raised their stakes without hesitation.

Such a situation gave the Fire Country Daimyo a headache.

"Danzo, this waste!"

The headache of the Fire Country Daimyo could not help cursing.

He was really getting more and more dissatisfied with Danzo, the Hokage.

In the past, he, the Daimyo, had never suffered such humiliation.

For example, the first two Ninja World Wars.

As the victor, although he did not gain any benefits in the end, he did not lose anything.

But now that Danzo has become the Hokage, he has become the loser.

"No, Danzo has no ability at all. If he continues to sit in the position of Hokage, there will be no chance of turning over in the future." The Fire Country Daimyo quickly made a decision.

He was actually very clear about the situation inside Konoha.

For example, Danzo's rise to power was not supported by all the high-level officials of Konoha.

Like Tsunade, she has been fighting for power with Danzo.

In the past, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire was happy to see such a situation.

After all, Konoha was too strong. If they worked together, he would not be able to sleep well.

So it would be best if Konoha had internal strife.

But now it was different. Danzo's incompetence made him feel a greater crisis.

After a little hesitation, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire quickly wrote a letter and secretly sent someone to the battlefield of Sand Village.

The pressure of the war left the Daimyo of the Land of Fire with no other choice but to pay huge benefits to quell the war.

After getting the desired benefits, including Sand Village, the four major ninja villages that besieged Konoha began to withdraw their troops tacitly.

For a time, the Third Ninja World War seemed to have come to an end.

"Great, the war is finally over!"

"It's finally over. I thought I would die on the battlefield."

"We lost miserably this time. This is the first time we have become losers in the three Ninja World Wars."

"."

At the end of the war, whether on the battlefield or in the village, some people in Konoha cheered because they survived the war, but more were still dejected.

The war is over, but it is different from the previous two wars.

This time, Konoha tasted a failure that it had never experienced before.

Many people were confused and didn't understand what happened to the village.

Aren't they the strongest ninja village? Why did they lose to other ninja villages?

Especially the older generation, the failure of the war pulled these people back from the glory of Konoha's establishment to the cruel reality.

They, Konoha, are no longer the overlord of the ninja world during the first generation of Hokage.

In the original plot, why did Sarutobi Hiruzen abdicate to Namikaze Minato?

This is naturally not because Namikaze Minato is so outstanding that Sarutobi Hiruzen feels ashamed to give up his position voluntarily, but because of the pressure brought by the war.

Even if they win in the end, the losses in the war are the responsibility of the Hokage.

This is true even if they win the war, let alone lose the war.

The end of the war did not restore Konoha to its former peace, but instead set off a bigger storm.

"Why did we lose this time? I think the fundamental reason lies in the incompetence of the Hokage."

"Shh, keep your voice down, have you forgotten what happened last time? If you make irresponsible remarks about the Hokage, you will be arrested by the Police Department."

"What's so great about the Police Department? We have already lost the war, so are we not allowed to point out the problems?"

"That's right. I thought the police department would get better after the Uchiha clan left the police department. But it became worse than before. They arrest people at every turn."

"That's right. The current police department is not a department that protects the village. It is just a loyal dog of some people."

"The village must elect a new Hokage. Otherwise, if it continues like this, I can't believe what the village will become!"

"."

The heated discussions were going on everywhere in Konoha.

Whether it was ninjas or civilians, they all looked indignant.

Similarly, as the discussions intensified, the police department soon took action.

"How dare you! Lord Hokage is not someone you can discuss. Arrest them all."

"What are you doing? Let me go!"

"What's wrong with your police department? Did the village give you the right to arrest people at will?"

"Asshole, don't think you can comment on our department just because you are a jonin. Even if you are a jonin, we will arrest you. If you dare to resist, I will charge you with desertion."

"."

As a department reorganized by Danzo himself, the strength of the police department has greatly decreased compared to the Uchiha clan period, but its power and attitude have increased instead of decreased.

One by one, those who discussed were forcibly arrested by the police department, including ninjas.

Even members who have entered the upper echelons of the jonin have not escaped the suppression of the police department and were arrested aggrievedly.
