Chapter 188 Alliance
Time flies and another month has passed.
Chiba spends every day with Uzumaki Kushina and they are almost inseparable.
Kakashi couldn't stand staying at Chiba's house after just two days.
After all, I’ve eaten enough dog food every day.
This month is the busiest month for Konoha's top leaders.
Although they had fought to the death before and would fight to the death when they met, after the war, they still had to cooperate and form alliances.
Sarutobi Hiruzen has proposed to conclude an alliance agreement with the Sand Village.
In this war, as the defeated party, the Sand Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen proposed that as long as the Fourth Kazekage Rasa compensated Konoha with a portion of the equivalent of gold sand and then concluded an alliance contract, it would be considered compensation to the Fire Kingdom.
This compensation is almost no compensation.
Rasa had no reason to refuse and immediately signed an alliance contract with Konoha.
...
On the border between the Fire Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom.
Ino-Shikacho, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza appeared on the edge of a cliff.
On the other side of the cliff stood more than thirty Iwagakure ninjas.
More than thirty Iwagakure ninjas looked at Nara Shikaku and the other two with malicious smiles.
Nara Shikaku took out a scroll and said, "This is a letter from the Hokage-sama. Take it!"
Nara Shikaku threw the scroll towards the Iwagakure.
An Iwagakure caught the scroll.
Nara Shikaku instructed: "Take it to Tsuchikage-sama and tell him to reply as soon as possible!"
The Iwagakure who caught the scroll said disdainfully: "No need to bring it to him, I can answer you now!"
The Iwagakure raised his hand, and the other Iwagakure behind him drew their weapons and assumed fighting stances.
Just as the battle was about to break out, a voice came from the cliff nearby.
"Don't rush to do it yet."
The Iwagaku and Nara Shikaku looked towards another cliff at the same time.
I found out that they were densely packed with Sand Ninjas.
The Fourth Kazekage appeared in front of everyone.
The Rock Ninjas panicked.
"What? It's the Fourth Kazekage!"
"Why are people from the Sand Village here?!"
Luo Sha crossed his arms and said with an arrogant look, "This is also the border of our Sand Village! We can't let you fight here! The smell of gunpowder is strong, so of course we have to blow it away."
Luo Sha took a step forward: "The Sand Village will not sit idly by, I hope you understand this before you take action!"
The Rock Ninjas looked at Luo Sha solemnly, and finally shouted "Disperse" and retreated.
...
In the meeting room of the Tsuchikage Building in Iwagakure Village in the Land of Earth.
Ōnoki sat on the main seat, with a letter from Sarutobi Hiruzen on the table.
"How do you plan to deal with the request to conclude a peace treaty?"
"Of course you refuse, right?"
"Even if Konoha Village and Sand Village form an alliance, they can't defeat our unity!"
Several senior executives had a heated discussion about this alliance letter.
Ohnoki said in a deep voice: "Silence! I am of course proud of the unity of the Iwagakure Village, but... the Iwagakure Village once made a desperate move and invested more than a thousand ninjas to launch an invasion. I heard that this plan suffered a setback because of Blood Eyed Shura and Yellow Flash. This is also true.
Moreover, have you forgotten? Blood Eyed Shura went to Kirigakure alone, severely damaged Kirigakure, and killed the Third Mizukage! "
After hearing Ōnoki's words, the top executives fell silent.
In the end, Ōnoki agreed to Konoha's request to form an alliance.
...
The meatball shop in Konoha.
Kouji Tetsu, Kamijou Izumo, Kai, Yuhi Kurenai, and Sarutobi Asuma were eating meatballs.
Gang Zitie said, "I heard that this time they are going to sign a peace treaty with the Iwagakure Village."
Shen Yue Chu Yun bit the bamboo stick and said: "How much restraint can a piece of paper have."
Kai agreed with what Shen Yue Zu Yun said: "Well said."
Gang Zitie said dissatisfiedly: "Think about the hard work of the third generation adults."
Sarutobi Esma smiled and said, "Anyway, the long war is finally over."
Yuhi Kurenai raised the dango in her hand and suggested, "Let's toast with dango!"
Kai noticed Kakashi approaching from a distance and greeted him, "Hey, Kakashi, come over for some meatballs?"
Kakashi just raised his eyelids and glanced at Gai, then walked forward on his own without paying any attention to Gai.
Kai looked at Kakashi's departing back and muttered, "This guy is really cold."
Kamatsuki Izumo looked at Kakashi and said, "Isn't his attitude normal? After all, he is very cold to begin with."
Gang Zitie sighed and said, "It's right to be indifferent. He's just not in the mood to mess around without any scruples."
Kurenai Yuhi looked a little sad: "Sure enough, it's because of Obito and Rin. I heard that they are the only two people who can be called friends with Kakashi."
Asuma Sarutobi nodded and said, "Ah, it must have left a big psychological trauma."
Kakashi was walking alone on the street, his mind full of the scene of Obito being crushed by the rock, and the scene of Nohara Rin's death when the Sharingan suddenly appeared.
Looking at the people around him, all with smiles on their faces, Kakashi felt very disgusted.
It was not worth dying for these people, his father, his friends!
...
In the conference room of the Hokage Building.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were holding a meeting there.
On the table in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, there was a scroll with Ōnoki's reply letter.
Mitomon En said to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Thank you for your hard work."
Utatane Koharu also said in a relaxed tone: "Anyway, I can breathe a sigh of relief."
Danzo said dissatisfiedly: "Are you satisfied with such a treaty? You actually acknowledged the activities of the Iwagakure Village and gave up the right to demand compensation. It's like losing a battle!"
Mitomon En asked, "What does Hiruzen think?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen narrated: "Continuing the war would be fatal to Konoha, which was already exhausted. This was a concession made in order to reach a consensus."
Danzo slammed his fist on the table: "Many comrades have died in this war. Doing this is equivalent to sending them to die in vain!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and said, "The responsibility lies with me, the Hokage."
Danzo asked aggressively, "How are you going to take responsibility?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen decided: "I will resign the position of the Third Hokage and give it to the Fourth."
Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Danzo showed a hint of joy on his face.
In Danzo's eyes, only Orochimaru is qualified to be Hokage.
As long as Orochimaru becomes Hokage, then Orochimaru, who belongs to the Root Ninja, will greatly strengthen his power.
...
Danzo came to Orochimaru's base and found Orochimaru.
Danzo said to Orochimaru bluntly: "Orochimaru, Hiruzen is planning to abdicate, I plan to recommend you to be the fourth Hokage!"
Orochimaru paused for a moment while holding the beaker, then returned to normal: "I have no interest in Hokage."
Danzo frowned and said solemnly: "You are now the most famous in Konoha. It can be said that everyone thinks you are the fourth Hokage. Once you become the Hokage, you don't have to be sneaky about the things you want to do. Think about it carefully!"
Orochimaru put down the beaker in his hand and turned to look at Danzo: "I don't care whether you become Hokage or not. You can be one or not. If it is helpful for my experiment, then you can recommend it."
