Itachi could be said to have turned a blessing in disguise, as he was able to study in a place where he could truly learn something.
Kakashi had some concerns about this but not much.
Hyuga Neji agreed immediately and took over Uchiha Itachi's teaching.
This child is much older than Neji, so he can start teaching earlier and help earlier.
However, the time to accept a disciple must be after the Cloud Ninjas sign a peace agreement. Now all work is focused around this point.
Before the two could continue discussing other Uchiha matters, another Anbu came over.
"Please ask Lord Kakashi to go to the Hokage Building to participate in the Thunder and Fire peace negotiations."
……
The Third Hokage must be watching Kakashi to death, forcing him to attend meetings all the time and waste his time on such boring things.
After entering the conference room, I thought it would be as boring as yesterday, but who would have thought that this time the envoys from the Kingdom of Thunder would actually come up with a specific plan and start discussions.
Although he still asked for a huge sum, this negotiating attitude made Lu Jiu feel very comfortable. He could finally use his brain seriously.
The leader Nuruyi seemed to be under a gag order and kept making noises and glaring the whole time, occasionally launching facial attacks and verbal conflicts with Konoha F4.
Sometimes when the remarks became too radical or the conflict could not be resolved, Konoha would let Kakashi stand up and stretch his muscles, and then the negotiations could continue smoothly.
Ma Buyi personally took part in the heated debate today, not leaving out any clause or point of the agreement.
From the amount of tasks to the compensation for materials, to the cost of the ceasefire between the two sides and the redivision of the territorial front.
It's funny to say, but Leihuo actually don't share the same border, there are two small countries between them.
This time the real battle broke out on the main battlefield between the two small countries.
The so-called demarcation of defense boundaries also ignored the existence of the two countries and began serious negotiations.
Kakashi sat here and watched the development of the situation. He slowly felt that although the bottom line of the Cloud Ninja seemed to have not retreated a single step, in fact, expectations were constantly being lowered.
Even he could see it, and the old-timers like Konoha F4 and Shikaku had also discovered it a long time ago.
When the option of ending the war at little cost appeared, the hearts of the elders were moved.
Chapter 58 It’s all part of the plan
Although they repeatedly told themselves that there must be something hidden behind such an abnormal thing, this bait was worth catching like a moth to a flame.
Even if there is any crisis, I believe that Konoha can still deal with it with its size, and solve the most troublesome problem at hand first.
Among the four, Danzo was feeling slightly proud, as he felt that some of his actions had paid off.
One dark and stormy night he made a deal with a semi-public spy.
The people from the Cloud Ninja Village were particularly interested in the information about the Hyuga clan, and in exchange for this, they promised to make certain concessions in the negotiations.
Danzo laughed when he heard that.
Is it a problem for him to sell out the information of the Konoha Ninja Clan? It’s not a problem at all.
The Hyuga clan was simply insignificant in his eyes.
All the ninjas in the Root were selected from the Anbu, but the Hyuga and Uchiha clans had never entered the Anbu, and of course they had no chance to enter the Root.
Families that had never cooperated and were not part of their own small interest group could naturally be sacrificed at will.
What's there to worry about with just the information about the Hyuga clan?
Of course, there was a condition attached, which was that he wanted the head of the Cloud Ninja leader who had been taunting him.
It must be returned after the peace agreement is signed.
Don't think it's too much. Selling out village intelligence must be valuable enough to be bribed. I'm a picky person.
Danzo also knew that even for a Dark Ninja like him who could survive being struck by a hundred hammers, what he did was a bit too much, so he did not discuss it with Hiruzen.
Just wait until the peace agreement is completely negotiated before coming forward to take credit. My old friend is a man who only looks at the results.
In short, for Konoha!
Ma Buyi was also in a good mood.
By testing the bottom line step by step and lowering it to an attractive level, Konoha's top leaders have become emotionally invested in this agreement.
The groundwork for the second half of the plan was very successful.
A re-analysis has been ongoing since we entered Konoha Village until the end of the first meeting last night.
The original plan to obtain a pair of Sharingan was abandoned.
The Uchiha were too xenophobic and had a very sick mind. Asking them to hand over their own people was almost unthinkable.
Besides, the Sharingan's insight ability is not bad, but it is really difficult to deal with the professional patrol team.
Rather than giving up on this difficult target and waiting for a chance to deal with it later, it is better to focus on attacking the Hyuga clan.
"That's all for today, we'll continue tomorrow."
With Ma Buyi's words, the tense atmosphere here suddenly relaxed.
After the Cloud Ninja delegation left, the Konoha people who were present actually felt a little relaxed.
Today's negotiations seemed difficult but were actually going smoothly. By nightfall, more than half of the negotiations had been completed. Judging from the current trend, the benefits that the Cloud Ninja could really get were already within the range that Konoha could bear.
If we can pick and choose and make a targeted breakthrough the next morning, we may be able to get it down to a lower level, which would be great news.
It is expected that the peace agreement can be signed completely tomorrow, and everyone is tired and excited.
"Kakashi, thank you for your hard work today. I'll have to trouble you to come over tomorrow morning."
"Today's success is entirely due to the majesty of Bloody Thunder, hehehehe."
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen would have irreconcilable conflicts with Kakashi, it would not prevent him from continuing to use this disciple of the Fourth Hokage.
It is really useful. Just sitting here can avoid a lot of unnecessary disputes.
Kakashi went home to rest for a while, and then read a book while instructing Asuma and Kai.
I also took the opportunity to share today's negotiation results and progress.
After that, the boys fell into a deep sleep, but the Hokage Building was still brightly lit in the night.
"Have you heard anything unusual in the village recently? Has anything changed on Kakashi's side?"
After all, the Third Hokage was not very confident about such a smooth process. There was no reason for it.
He was also worried that there would be forces in the village that would work together with the Cloud Ninja to sabotage the signing of this peace agreement, so he gave an order to the Anbu Minister.
“Lord Kakashi has been attending peace conferences for the past two days, and practicing with his small group at night, so he has no contact with anyone else.
The biggest news in the village is that tomorrow is the third birthday of Hyuga Hinata, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan. According to the rules of the Hyuga clan, a grand celebration will be held, and you cannot attend any activities. "
Clan rules~~
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head. It was very likely that a peace agreement could be signed tomorrow, and a ceremony to celebrate peace would be held in the village at that time. It turned out that the Hyuga clan was really powerful.
Although the date of the clan meeting was determined in advance, the Third Hokage still felt uncomfortable.
"Is there really nothing else? On the root side?"
"The Root seems to have a single line of contact with the Kumogakure envoys, but we haven't found out the details."
"Well, I understand, go down."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was not surprised by what Danzo did. The Root had always done very dark and dirty things, so it was normal for them to have connection with each other.
So was it because of that guy that today's negotiations went smoothly?
At this time, the Sandaime still didn't believe that Danzo would dare to do something so outrageous after being beaten so many times by him. At least he certainly wouldn't dare to betray the ninjas of Konoha.
The headquarters of the Cloud Ninja Diplomatic Mission.
Ma Buyi felt excited when he saw the information and a map he had obtained.
Danzo certainly didn't dare to betray the ninja directly, but it was no problem for him to sell a map and some patrol route maps.
“Nuruyi memorized all the locations and patrol routes tonight.
Afterwards, the three Cassi brothers will help you attract Hinata's attention and create opportunities on the periphery.
Remember you only have this one chance, catch Hyuga Hinata and run away immediately.
The person chasing you afterwards is most likely a strong man from the Hyuga clan, and you know what to do then.
Remember, the time has come to serve the Kingdom of Thunder."
"Yes, Master Mabui."
Nuruyi began to record all the data with excitement.
I have been mentally prepared for a long time. Except for the time when I encountered the bloody thunder and my will was crushed by the opponent, everything else is not worth being afraid of.
As long as you succeed, you will be a hero of the Cloud Ninja, and your descendants can also learn the Lightning Armor, which is a sure win.
Ma Buyi on the side continued to carefully plan the action for tomorrow night, including the time, place, various tactics, and the making of traps.
"We have invested a lot in this plan, and we must not fail tomorrow."
"Yes."
The night was about to pass and the day was already dawning.
The Third Hokage stayed up all night in the Hokage Building analyzing various situations, which were nothing given a ninja's physique.
The Cloud Ninjas and the others did not sleep either, and both sides were tacitly waiting for the time to come.
Only Kakashi slept soundly, and after waking up he began to stretch his muscles seriously.
Chapter 59 The Night of Peace Begins
I feel that my own chakra seems to be still growing rapidly, and the small goal of Chatonla is getting closer.
Because the Yang Dun potion that fills his muscles and bones is still constantly transforming his body, he has new insights every day.
Facing the sunrise, he felt the sound of joy coming from deep within his body.
“It’s in great shape and the weather is good.”
After saying that, he went to light a stick of incense for his father, then drew out his long sword, kunai and other ninja tools and began to carefully maintain them.
He carefully put on his weapons and checked all the combat gear.
Exploding talismans, flash bombs, poison powder, lime powder, antidotes, military ration pills, and some sealed scrolls whose purpose was unclear.
Finally, put on your forehead protector neatly.
"Didn't you say the peace agreement was almost done when you came back last night?"
Kai and Asuma, who also woke up early, were a little surprised.
"It seems that the Cloud Ninjas really have no intention of causing trouble regarding the agreement. But I always feel that things are going too smoothly, so smoothly that I can't accept it."
The first day was spent making trouble, the second day was spent in serious negotiations, and the third day was spent in results. Even though both sides were eager to cease fire, it was too fast.
An abnormal leader of the delegation, an overly calm deputy leader of the delegation, and an abnormal bottom line.
Kakashi's intuition told him that there was definitely something wrong.
"It's okay to take extra precautions. I've left you four scrolls, planABCD. You can choose to execute them based on the situation."
The two friends were not particularly brave and inexperienced. They had fought on the battlefield before and had complete faith in their captain's intuition. They all perked up and started to organize their ninja tools.
"I am leaving to witness the coming of peace."
Without waiting for the Anbu to invite him, he said goodbye to his friends and went out.
In the Hokage Building.
The fully armed Kakashi caused a small commotion, and the Anbu at the door were a little panicked.
Logically speaking, ninjas are not allowed to carry such obvious weapons when entering the Hokage Building.
But I didn't say no. How could a Hokage be afraid of assassination?
