Chapter 162 Negotiation
"That's great. This is a good opportunity for me to show them my cooking skills. Let me make a deal. I will be responsible for all the cooking today. You guys don't interfere."
When Mito heard that her father Uzumaki was going to entertain Kamui's friends at home, she was overjoyed and said she would cook herself so that everyone could taste her cooking skills.
Kamui and Uzukage looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. Just when they were about to speak up to stop Mito, Mito's mother appeared.
"What? You are entertaining guests at home today. They are all your friends. If that's the case, how can I be left out? Mito, I will cook today's meal with you."
When Mito's mother heard that they were going to entertain guests, she also decided to cook by herself to leave a good impression on Kamui and Mito's friends.
Mito and her mother were excitedly discussing what to do next.
However, he didn't notice that Kamui and Uzukage beside him had turned pale.
Others may not know, but Kamui and Uzukage know how terrible the cooking skills of the one at home are. If they are both responsible for today's cooking, it is hard to say whether someone will be poisoned to death today.
Kamui and Uzukage looked at each other and nodded in unison, reaffirming each other's convictions. They then went to Mito and her mother separately to persuade them to give up the idea of cooking themselves.

"Hokage, big brother, there is a new situation now, and I think it may be helpful to the negotiations."
After Tobirama finished speaking, he didn't keep anyone in suspense and told everyone the new situation.
"Just last night, the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Cloud Village were on their way to attack the Uzushio Village, but they encountered the Kamui. Their plan to attack the Uzushio Village was thwarted, and a large number of ninjas were lost. In this battle, the Raikage had his right hand cut off by the Kamui. Since then, the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Cloud Village have withdrawn from the Land of Whirlpools."
After listening to this, Naruto Madara smiled without saying anything, obviously very satisfied with what Kamui did.
"This news comes at the right time. With this news, the success rate of this negotiation will be greatly improved."
When Dazhuzi heard the news, he was very excited and his confidence in the negotiations increased a bit.
"Hashirama, it doesn't matter whether the negotiation is successful or not. What matters is that you come back safe and sound. And remember what I told you before. Don't even think about making Konoha Village pay the slightest price for the negotiation."
Hokage Madara first expressed his concern for the Great Pillar, and then reminded the Great Pillar not to dream of exchanging interests for peace. From this point, it can be seen that in Hokage Madara's heart, the Great Pillar is more important than Konoha Village.
"Don't worry, Madara. Just wait for my good news in Konoha Village."
After saying this, Dazhuzi left Konoha Village with two ninjas in charge of negotiations.
The Great Pillar understood the concerns of the Hokage Madara, but he still insisted on going to negotiate because he believed that no one could understand the value of peace better than the Tsuchikage and Kazekage who had experienced war. He believed that under his persuasion, the Tsuchikage and Kazekage would definitely retreat.
The Great Pillar set off with two ninjas in charge of negotiations. Hokage Madara looked at the Great Pillar's receding back and felt inexplicably irritated.
"Order the Anbu to keep an eye on the progress of the negotiations and report to me at any time."
Hokage Madara gave some instructions to Tobirama who was standing beside him, and returned to the Hokage's office.
Tobirama looked at the slightly lonely back of Hokage Madara and for the first time felt how difficult it was to be the Hokage.
After leaving Konoha Village, Oshira and his three companions headed straight for the camps of Iwagakure and Sandagakure outside the border of the Land of Fire.
Speechless all the way.
Dazhuzi and his three companions stopped in front of the camps of Iwagakure Village and Sand Village and spoke loudly.
"We are the ninjas sent by Konoha Village to negotiate. We hope to talk to the Tsuchikage and the Kazekage."
"Stand there and don't move. I will report the situation to Lord Tsuchikage."
The ninja in charge of guarding the camp agreed and quickly reported the situation to the Tsuchikage.
"Oh, Konoha Village actually sent people to negotiate, please invite them in quickly."
While the Tsuchikage was saying this, he was secretly planning on making a big profit from the Konoha Village this time.
In a short time, the three people including Daibashi were brought before the Tsuchikage.
"Hello, Tsuchikage. I'm Hashirama Senju. Konoha Village sent us to be in charge of this negotiation."
Dazhuzi briefly introduced himself and the purpose of his trip.
"Senju Hashirama, we should have met many times before. Let me get straight to the point. What price are you, Konoha Village, prepared to pay for me to leave the border of the Land of Fire?"
The Tsuchikage looked at Dazhu with a smile, waiting for Dazhu to state the conditions for his withdrawal, and then he would raise the price and make a big profit.
When Daibashi heard what the Tsuchikage said, he first shook his head, and then spoke.
"I'm sorry, Konoha Village will not pay any price. I came here only to persuade the Tsuchikage and Kazekage to evacuate the border of the Land of Fire."
After hearing what Daibashi said, Tsuchikage immediately became furious and spoke angrily.
"What? You, the Konoha Village, want our two ninja villages to evacuate the border of the Land of Fire without paying anything. Are you kidding me? I tell you this is impossible."
The Great Pillar refused to give up and tried his best to persuade the Tsuchikage to leave the border of the Land of Fire.
"Tsuchikage, we have all experienced the pain of war, so we understand that peace is hard to come by. Don't act on your own, Tsuchikage."
"Shut up. When will it be your turn to teach me a lesson? Just because you talk big and talk nonsense, and you want me to leave the border of the Fire Country as soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip, I tell you it's impossible. Come on, show me away."
The Tsuchikage was completely irritated by the lecturing look of the Great Pillar and didn't want to continue talking to him.
"The Tsuchikage doesn't want to negotiate with you now. Please, everyone."
The Jonin beside the Tsuchikage obeyed the Tsuchikage's order. As he spoke, he pushed the three people in the big pillar and drove them out.
Dazhuzi was about to be driven out of the tent when he suddenly remembered something and spoke loudly.
"Tsuchikage, before we left, Konoha Village received a piece of news about Uzushio Village. I believe you will be interested."
When the Tsuchikage heard this, he was immediately interested and quickly stopped him.
"Wait a minute, let him finish what he has to say."
Upon hearing this, the Jonin from the Iwagakure Village immediately stopped pushing and stood in front of the three people led by Daibashi, looking straight at them.
"Last night, the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Cloud Village jointly attacked the Uzushio Village. On the way, they encountered the exiled Kamui and lost a large number of ninjas. The Raikage had his right hand cut off by Kamui. That night, the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Cloud Village evacuated the Whirlpool Country."
Dazhuzi said loudly.
After hearing this, the Tsuchikage's face suddenly turned very ugly. He had never expected Kamui to appear in Uzushio Village by such a coincidence, causing his plan to fail.
As for the truth of the matter, the Tsuchikage believed that the Great Pillar would not lie to him. Such a big thing happening in the ninja world could not be concealed at all. The news would be passed on soon, and by then it would be clear whether the news was true or false.
The Tsuchikage said after clearing his thoughts.
"Make arrangements so that the ninjas of Konoha Village can have a good rest. We will discuss the negotiations in the afternoon."
The Tsuchikage decided to terminate the negotiations. Firstly, continuing the negotiations would expose his urgency and allow Konoha Village to take the initiative. Secondly, the Tsuchikage also wanted to wait for news from Uzushio Village to verify whether the news was true. Thirdly, he wanted to make a backup plan for the Iwagakure Village to facilitate his quick evacuation.
"The Tsuchikage-sama said we can talk about it this afternoon, so follow me, everyone. I will arrange for you to rest."
The Jonin of the Iwagakure Village received orders from the Tsuchikage and arranged the three men led by Ohashira in a nearby tent.
At the same time, the ninjas of the Iwagakure Village were arranged to secretly monitor the every move of Obashira and his three companions.
"Reporting to Lord Tsuchikage, arrangements have been made for the ninjas of Konoha Village, and people have been sent to secretly monitor them. I don't think they can cause any trouble."
The Jonin from the Iwagakure Village reported to the Tsuchikage.
"Reporting to Lord Tsuchikage, there is news from Uzushio Village."
A ninja from the Iwagakure Village handed a piece of paper to the Tsuchikage.
The Tsuchikage took the report, unfolded it, and saw that what was written on it was exactly the same as what the Great Pillar had said.
If what the Great Pillar said before made the Tsuchikage believe it to about 70%, then the information provided by his own intelligence system now made the Tsuchikage completely believe the news from Uzushio Village.
The Tsuchikage forced himself to calm down and analyze the situation.
The Uzushio Village, which was originally responsible for containing the Konoha Village, can be said to be foolproof with the presence of Kamui. The Kirigakure Village and the Kumogakure Village suffered heavy losses and have withdrawn from the battlefield. Now on the surface, only the Iwagakure Village and the Sand Village are still confronting Konoha Village on the battlefield, but in fact the Sand Village was just dragged along, the real main force is still the Iwagakure Village. Alas, it's difficult.
"Notify everyone in the Hidden Rock Village to evacuate the Fire Country border in secret from now on. Quickly."
The Tsuchikage did not want to confront Konoha Village alone, so he immediately decided to evacuate secretly to prevent Konoha Village's counterattack.
"Tsuchikage-sama, isn't this a little too sudden?"
The Iwagakure jonin asked in confusion.
"I don't have time to explain to you now. Snapshot, do what I say. Quick."
The Tsuchikage said anxiously.
"Lord Tsuchikage, our evacuation will definitely be discovered by the people sent by Konoha Village to negotiate. Do you think we should..."
When the Iwagakure Village jonin said this, he made a gesture to silence the witness.
The Tsuchikage thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and then spoke.
"Not just them, but also that Kazekage. Remember to arrange the scene so that both of them will perish together."
"Tsuchikage-sama, I understand."
The Jonin of Iwagakure Village understood the Tsuchikage's intention and immediately took action.
The Tsuchikage looked in the direction of Uzushio Village, clenched his fists, looked fierce, and spoke in a low voice.
"Uchiha Kamui, you have ruined my plans time and again. I will remember this grudge. One day, I will settle this account with you."
At the same time, Kamui, who was far away in Uzushio Village, and his father-in-law Uzukage were modifying the dishes of Mito, mother and daughter.
