Chapter 321 Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes

Hey, hey, hey, are you guys in the Sand Village really in a mess?

If you really do that, what will happen to our Konoha?

Mitomon En, who had originally planned to blow up a thorn first and embarrass Chiyo, felt a bit like he was riding a tiger and was in a dilemma.

Jingyi, who was sitting closest to the Third Hokage in the conference room, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, which quickly returned to calm, and then couldn't help but rise again.

You can't laugh. I'm a professionally trained person.

No matter how funny things are, I can't laugh...I have to hold it in even if I can't help it.

Jingyi tried his best to control his facial expression, put down his left hand, pinched his thigh, and used the method of pain diversion to divert his attention.

It would be fine at normal times, but in a serious occasion where two villages are chatting, and it is people from one's own village who are causing trouble, laughing out loud at this time is not only impolite, but also may be suspected of disrupting the occasion.

So you have to endure.

How to do?

Mitomon's Flame Explosion was not his personal decision, but the result of a discussion between him and the Third Hokage.

Now, Chiyo doesn't buy it at all.

You can bomb it as you like, but if I care, I lose.

Then Mitomon En became speechless.

It felt pointless to continue the attack because the Sand Village didn't care.

If you pick it up high and then put it down gently, it will seem like a complete failure and you will embarrass yourself.

You keep talking, keep talking.

Chiyo, who never mind watching a show, smiled and gave Mitomon En an encouraging look.

Fuck you!!

Mitomon En almost swore.

"Cough cough."

Seeing his old partner in such a difficult situation, the Third Hokage was forced to come to the rescue. He coughed and diverted everyone's attention to himself:

"Since your village has chosen to negotiate, you must show enough sincerity. As the instigator of the war, you will face defeat."

"Paying compensation to the victor for the losses incurred in the war is what the loser should do."

That's it?

A bit tender.

Chiyo looked at Mitomon En with amusement, then turned around and said to the Third Hokage:

"I believe you are all aware of the current situation of the Sand Village. We have no money, and even less resources. If we had these things, would the war end so easily?"

With these things, our Sand Village can continue to fight.

So don’t even think about any compensation, there is none.

Don't ask, just ask and you won't find it.

The worst that can happen is cheating.

It has come to this, there is no other way except to cheat.

Could it be possible that Konoha could invade the Sand Village for this matter?

Then you have to first ask the daimyos of each country, as well as the Iwagakure, Mist Village, and Cloud Village whether they agree.

The Sand Village was defeated, and the other three villages didn't care whether they could pay compensation or not. After all, it had nothing to do with them.

If Konoha really invaded the Sand Village, it would be a big deal, and the three villages would definitely jump out to oppose it at the first moment.

It might even turn into a war to force Konoha to retreat.

The structure of the five major ninja villages cannot be destroyed.

You can rob resources, you can demand compensation, we have no objection even if you cut off your flesh and blood, but you cannot invade the Sand Village.

"Nothing, so where is your village's sincerity?"

The Third Hokage said unhappily: "I'm sorry, but I don't see your sincerity. Is there any need to continue this negotiation?"

"Of course it's necessary."

Chiyo took out a document and gave it to her guard, asking the guard to pass it on to the Third Hokage.

After Chiyo's guard took two steps forward, the guard beside the Third Hokage stepped forward and took the document. After checking it, he made sure there was no problem before handing it to the Third Hokage.

Is this your sincerity?

With a skeptical attitude, the Third Hokage opened the file and read it carefully.

Jingyi could see the contents of the document just by tilting his head, but he was too lazy to read it. Anyway, the Third Hokage and Chiyo would soon put forward the conditions for negotiation.

The document stated the conditions for the Sand Village peace talks. There was no compensation or material compensation, only the intention to sign two contracts.

It can be said that Konoha will not gain any benefit from this war.

At least for now, there is no benefit.

The Third Hokage quickly finished reading the document and fell into silence after reading it.

Everyone was curious about what was written in the document.

Chiyo didn't say it on her own initiative, and the Third Hokage didn't say anything either.

Others could only sit in their chairs and worry, but Jingyi was the only one who could calmly drink tea and eat snacks.

"Jingyi, take a look."

Just when everyone thought that the Third Hokage would pick up the document and hand it to Mito Kado En, the Third Hokage's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.

The document did not reach Mito Menyan's hands, but was handed to Jingyi instead.

This made Mizuto Menyan, who had already raised his hand, put it down awkwardly.

Seeing this scene, Chiyo thought to herself: As expected, the high-level situation in Konoha has undergone great changes.

The status and voice of that old hag Utatane Koharu and Mitokado En are no longer as great as before.

Instead, Jingyi, a new generation of strong men, is gradually replacing them.

Jingyi picked up the document. He did not read it alone. Instead, he said as he read it:

"Hmm~~ The conditions for the Sand Village peace talks can be summarized into three items.

First: You can sign an alliance contract with the village to strengthen the military cooperation between the two villages.

Second: You can sign a non-aggression agreement with the village.

Third: Strengthen economic cooperation between Konoha and Sand Village. "

Jingyi didn't say the specific details, but everyone sitting in the Hokage's office could instantly understand the Sand Village's intention.

Signing an alliance contract with Konoha as a loser is equivalent to being half a younger brother of Konoha, and signing the non-aggression contract with Konoha that Konoha has always wanted to sign.

Finally, there is economic cooperation.

The Sand Village is poor, but the Fire Country is rich in resources. As long as this contract is signed, the things from Konoha and even the entire Fire Country can be smoothly transported to the Sand Village for sale.

In the end, this will bring a steady stream of profits to the village and even to the Fire Nation.

Of course, the economy is a mutual exchange. If Konoha and the Land of Fire make money, the Sand Village and the Land of Wind can also increase their income through other means.

This is a win-win situation.

It’s just that Konoha took the initiative and priority.

As soon as Jingyi finished speaking, Chiyo added:

"This is our village's sincerity in peace talks and also our village's bottom line."

These are the conditions. If you, Konoha, don’t agree, then you can do whatever you want.

After saying that, Chiyo closed her eyes and started to rest.

The people on the Konoha side were no longer calm.

On the surface, Konoha will not gain much from peace talks with the Sand Village, but from a long-term perspective, the Sand Village is indeed sincere.

Not to mention making the Sand Village a half-brother, simply never invading is the goal that Konoha has been striving for in the past.

It's a pity that no one is willing to sign such a contract with Konoha.
