Chapter 458 A wise man submits to circumstances; the forced king Sasuke
"Fourth generation, we... we can't fight anymore!"
Wiping the sweat from his brow, Master Yuan, leaning on his cane, arrived in an instant, unwilling to give any advice.
Now that the Three-Tails and Six-Tails are in the hands of the other side, if Kirigakure were to break with Konoha because of this and completely lose its last weapon of war, Kirigakure would be completely ruined and become a target for division by a great power.
Konoha might still have some sense of morality and refrain from immediate action, but the situation is less certain for Kumogakure and Iwagakure. They might launch a war to annihilate Kirigakure the moment they receive this news.
Now, it's not as simple as negotiating peace with Konoha anymore; the future of Kirigakure is in grave danger!
"Of course I know that, Master Yuan." The Fourth Mizukage sighed through gritted teeth, his anger and shock growing as he looked around at the village filled with screams.
Konoha, Konoha only sent two kid Jonin and they were forced to this extent. How terrifying would it be if the whole village were mobilized!
It's important to know that Konoha now not only has the Fourth Hokage, the Yellow Flash, but also the Legendary Sannin and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, among other powerful ninjas from the older, middle-aged, and younger generations.
The new generation is so terrifying, it's outrageous!!
With such limited resources, how can the Hidden Mist Village possibly win?
Taking a deep breath to suppress his anger, the Fourth Mizukage looked up at the sky, a resolute glint in his eyes, and declared decisively, "Konoha ninja, I acknowledge that the Three-Tails belongs to Konoha from this day forward!"
"Can we come down now? The Six-Tails Jinchuriki still needs treatment, please return him to me first."
Between two evils, choose the lesser. Faced with the consequences of losing two tailed beasts and plunging the village into crisis, the Fourth Mizukage could only swallow his pride and bear it.
We can figure out a solution for the Three-Tails later, but we absolutely cannot continue fighting now!
"Heh, it seems you've misjudged the situation, Mizukage-sama." Faced with Kirigakure's show of weakness, Ishikawa didn't take the opportunity to back down but instead smiled calmly and pressed his advantage.
"That was just now, and this is now. I can have the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, but what will you offer in exchange? The five ninja swords and this Samehada can also be used as trade items, but you'll have to pay extra..."
"What?! It was Konoha that proposed the peace talks. We've already given up the Three-Tails, and you still want more compensation?!" The Fourth Mizukage blurted out, looking constipated. He hadn't expected Ishikawa to dare to raise the price so blatantly.
"Of course not. I already said, that was just now!" Ishikawa shook his head with a smile, looking as if it were a matter of course.
What a joke! He's already stirred up trouble, so why doesn't he take some benefits and teach Kirigakure a lesson to behave themselves and stop causing trouble?
Given what happened today, no matter what he does, Kirigakure will ultimately hate Konoha. So weakening the opponent is protecting Konoha, so why not...?
"Damn it!!" Over here, seeing Ishikawa's determined and fearless attitude, the Fourth Mizukage clenched his fists and trembled with anger.
No matter how angry he was, reality was reality, and he had to face it, which he couldn't change.
Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to want the Six-Tails, which provided a basis for negotiation and was the last bottom line that Kirigakure could accept.
"Alright, please come down and stay for a few days so we can discuss this. As long as it's for peace, we can talk about any conditions." After hesitating for a moment, the Fourth Mizukage finally nodded and invited him.
"Okay, but you'd better not have any dangerous ideas. If something goes wrong, I guarantee the consequences won't be like this today!" Ishikawa warned, a strange glint in his eyes, before landing on the ground with Rin and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki in his arms.
However, despite his words, Ishikawa had no intention of returning the Six-Tails Jinchuriki before an agreement was reached. Instead, he had Rin, who had covered her left eye, seal and control the Jinchuriki.
"Don't worry, I don't want today's incident to happen again." The Fourth Mizukage gave Ishikawa a deep look and made a promise through gritted teeth. His reluctant gaze swept over Rin and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki before turning to look at the Anbu captain.
"Settle them in, and make sure no one disturbs them or causes any misunderstandings!"
"Yes, Lord Mizukage." The captain of the Dark Guard immediately understood, realizing that the Mizukage was worried that someone might misunderstand due to a lack of awareness of the gravity of the situation.
For example, the Kaguya clan members nearby, their eyes gleaming with predatory greed and bloodlust...
"By the way, please arrange a tour guide for us. I want to wander around and experience the local customs and culture of the Land of Water," Ishikawa asked without changing his expression. After saying that, he ignored the Mizukage's gloomy and blood-red face and left with Rin and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.
Of course, Samehada, the greatsword, is also in my hand!!
"Bastard (艹皿艹)"
Watching Ishikawa's retreating figure, the Fourth Mizukage cursed angrily, but thinking of the terrifying consequences of angering him, he sighed helplessly, "Find a Chunin for him and keep an eye on them. Now, hold a meeting immediately to discuss what to exchange for the Six-Tails and the Six Ninja Swords."
At a command, the Fourth Mizukage, along with his master and the heads of various departments, headed to the Mizukage Building for an emergency meeting.
While Kirigakure was embroiled in a humiliating meeting, Kumogakure...
"You two brats are the only envoys from Konoha? Hmph, is this the Yellow Flash's attitude? You want to end the war quickly, so you try to negotiate like this??"
In the Raikage's office, the Fourth Raikage, A, stared unfriendly at the two people opposite him, humming and snorting disdainfully.
As a former rival of the Yellow Flash, he still held that guy in high regard during their previous battles.
In particular, the other side had said that they would continue to fight bearing the name of the Shadows!
But now they've actually sent two brats to negotiate with him? Is this an insult to the Fourth Raikage, or a test of the Hidden Cloud Village's bottom line in war?
"Lord Raikage, I think you've misunderstood! The Fourth Hokage takes this peace talk very seriously; otherwise, he wouldn't have sent us." Young Kakashi explained calmly, his eyes gleaming with confidence as he stood tall and proud. "We represent the future of Konoha!!"
"Konoha's future?" The Fourth Raikage was taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at him with a mocking expression, disapproving. "I know you, the Yellow Flash's disciple, one of Konoha's Legendary Sannin, Hatake Kakashi."
"But you? You're not enough..."
"Then, what if it were me?" Just as Kakashi was about to retort after the Raikage finished speaking, Sasuke, who had been silent, finally couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward.
"You? Uchiha? Never heard of you..."
The Fourth Raikage turned his head and glanced sideways, his gaze lingering on Sasuke's clan crest for half a second before he became even more disdainful.
Kakashi, after all, has the title of one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, but he's never heard of any rumors about this Uchiha in front of him...
Hmm, it seems that the other young Konoha Sannin was an Uchiha genius who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, but that guy seems to have disappeared!
Just when the Fourth Raikage thought Sasuke was nothing special, he saw Sasuke's pupils turn a sinister crimson. "Now, you should know who I am..."
"I am Uchiha Sasuke, a Jonin of Konoha."
