Chapter 485: The Sand Village is at its wits' end

Minato Namikaze gave Chiyo and Ebizo a final ultimatum, saying that there was no other way except surrender.

The difference is whether the Sand Village surrendered voluntarily or was forced to surrender by Minato Namikaze.

Chiyo and Ebizo now had buzzing sounds in their ears and their heads were almost blank.

However, Chiyo and Ebizo had experienced many storms and they quickly regained their composure.

Ebizo tried to negotiate with Minato Namikaze again: "If our Sand Village is on high alert, with the harsh environment of Sand Village, we may not be able to stop Konoha. As long as we can stop Konoha for a period of time, you will also feel bad, and other villages will definitely take action against you, Konoha!

Even if you occupy the Sand Village, the Sand Village itself is barren, and Konoha will not get any benefits. We can return the land obtained by the first Kazekage to Konoha, and give Konoha a compensation, and the matter will end like this, is this okay?"

After the initial establishment of the Five Great Nations, Hashirama Senju initiated the Five Kage Conference in order to discuss the distribution of the tailed beasts.

Senju Hashirama proposed to exchange money for the tailed beasts and distribute the nine tailed beasts equally to the five major countries.

However, the Sand Village already has Shukaku, the one-tailed beast, and does not need it. Instead, it demands funds and land, and does not listen to any opinions.

Senju Hashirama finally agreed and allocated an area from the Land of Fire to the Sand Village.

This fertile land has also become the foundation of the Sand Village. It can be said that it is thanks to this land that the development of the Sand Village can be supported.

This piece of land is the most valuable in the Sand Village. If Ebizo didn't have any other choice, he would never hand over this land as a bargaining chip.

Namikaze Minato said indifferently: "You still don't understand the situation. Now you have no choice. After we capture the Sand Village, that land will still be ours. As for you wanting to stop us by relying on the terrain, you can try it. I can tell you directly that if there is a possibility of a stalemate in the battle, I will immediately send Shukaku to the Sand Village.

You don't have any tailed beasts in the Sand Village anymore, what can you use to stop us?"

At this time, a ninja came to Minato Namikaze and reported to him in a low voice.

Namikaze Minato sneered: "Ha, the time left for you Sand Village is running out. Our ninjas have already controlled your daimyo. Immediately issue a daimyo's declaration and ask the Sand Village to surrender. You Sand Village can resist, but I want to see how long you can hold out!

Get out of here! I will not accept any other conditions except surrendering and becoming a vassal of Konoha. Go back to your village and lead the ninjas of your village to fight to the end."

Chiyo and Ebizo looked at Minato Namikaze with conflicted expressions. They didn't expect Minato Namikaze to be so tough. There was no room for negotiation at all.

At the same time, Chiyo and Ebizo hated Chiba and Orochimaru in their hearts. In the end, all the things caused by these two guys were borne by the Sand Village.

There was no point in trying to negotiate now. We had to return to the Sand Village and discuss what to do. At the same time, how to calm the villagers when their daimyo announced that they should surrender.

Chiyo and Ebizo rushed back to the Sand Village at full speed.

And Minato Namikaze continued to lead Konoha's ninja troops into the Land of Wind and rushed to the Sand Village.

With Chiyo and Ebizo hurrying at full speed, they soon returned to the village.

However, the news that the Daimyo announced his surrender to the Fire Country and asked the Sand Village to surrender to Konoha as soon as possible spread faster and had already reached the Sand Village.

Because after the Konoha Ninja took control of the Daimyo of the Wind Country, they immediately forced the Daimyo to issue a document of surrender, and then sent the Daimyo's envoy to the Sand Village to read the document of surrender.

Now the entire Sand Village knows that their daimyo has surrendered to the Fire Nation, and asked them to surrender to Konoha as well.

In addition, the Konoha ninja troops have entered the territory of the Wind Country, and are led by Konoha's Hokage Minato Namikaze himself, heading towards the Sand Village.

Now the Sand Village inevitably fell into panic.

Chiyo and Ebizo quickly gathered all the senior officials in the village together and told everyone about their conversation with Minato Namikaze.

Chiyo sighed helplessly: "Let's discuss it, what should we do?"

The whole audience was silent.

What else can be done now?

Everything happened too suddenly. Now their village has no Kazekage, and it is too late to choose a Kazekage to lead the Sand Village to fight back.

Moreover, the elite troops of the Sand Village suffered heavy casualties when attacking Konoha, and now their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of Konoha.

The worst thing is that their daimyo has been controlled and the surrender document has been read out in the Sand Village. The village has fallen into complete panic.

If all the exits of the Sand Village were not guarded by ninjas, perhaps someone would have planned to escape from the Sand Village by now.

Ebizo scolded, "Why are you silent? After we two retired, you helped the Fourth Hokage govern the Sand Village. Did you all become silent when something happened? Orochimaru assassinated the Fourth Hokage and disguised him, and none of you noticed anything unusual!

Orochimaru, disguised as the Fourth Hokage, could not have attacked Konoha on his own. That means you guys agreed to attack Konoha when Orochimaru proposed it! Don't you have any brains? Don't you know the gap between our Sunagakure and Konoha's strength?

We have a Jinchūriki in the Sand Village, but doesn't Konoha have one? The Uchiha clan's Sharingan can control the tailed beasts. Why can't you use your brain to think carefully before making such an important decision? You are simply too ridiculous!"

Chiyo advised, "Okay, Ebizo, it's useless to talk about this now. Let's focus on the current predicament first."

Ebizo sighed deeply and said, "I can't think of any way to solve the village's current predicament. According to their speed, they will arrive tomorrow afternoon.

Because of the daimyo's surrender document, there is now panic in the village. Even if the ninja troops are hastily gathered, it will be difficult to fight against the Konoha ninja troops. And because of the panic, there is a high possibility that they will escape during the battle.

More importantly, our village has no Jinchūriki now. Without our Jinchūriki, we have no resistance at all. As long as they send in Shukaku, we will collapse immediately."

After another long silence, a senior executive whispered, "Why not... just agree to it."

Ebizo looked at the high-ranking official with a sharp gaze: "What did you say? You mean to make us, one of the five great ninja villages, become a vassal of Konoha?!"
