Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"You rude fellow, you should call me Chiyo-sama like that brat!"

The Sand Ninja next to him couldn't stand it anymore and started shouting.

Although they were also annoyed with old lady Chiyo, this was a negotiation between two parties after all, so they still needed to express the right attitude.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the tent began to become tense.

Jiraiya was not to be outdone. He bulged his eyes like a toad. The 12 Root Ninjas around him were also indifferent, but they exuded a cold aura because they were also Konoha Ninjas.

But Grandma Chiyo didn't say anything, but instead looked at Toru Ito.

With a bit of fear.

As a conspirator who is good at using strategies, Grandma Chiyo already had a rough idea after the simple test just now.

Among the negotiation team sent by Konoha, the most difficult one to deal with is actually this kid!

This so-called Three Ninjas, Jiraiya, and the other 12 ninjas, might have some strength, but their strategies might not be even one-tenth of this brat's.

"Okay, okay, everyone, we are here to negotiate, not to fight."

Toru Ito knew that he couldn't let the situation develop, otherwise it would gradually develop to the point where it could not be resolved, so he spoke slowly.

"War is extremely harmful to both countries. At this point, it really has no meaning. What we need is peace, right?"

His words eased the atmosphere a little.

Originally, the Sand Ninjas didn't intend to really fight, they also wanted to end this damn war, so they went down the stairs.

"makes sense."

"But don't call our Chiyo-sama an old woman anymore!"

As soon as the Sand Ninja finished speaking, people around him looked at him strangely.

"Say less."

Grandma Chiyo's face was filled with black lines.

Why are all the people on my side idiots!

In comparison, although the Konoha side has fewer people, each of them looks very reliable!

"You have come from far away, please sit down for now."

Under the arrangement of Grandma Chiyo, Toru Ito and Jiraiya sat down at the negotiation table that had just been cleared.

The remaining 12 root members had no place to sit and could only stand behind them.

As for the Sand Village side, only Grandma Chiyo was sitting, and the other Sand Ninjas all stood behind her with a look of astonishment on their faces.

"Ha ha……"

Granny Chiyo sneered and spoke first.

"Since you said you want to negotiate, what are the conditions you offer?"

Ito Toru saw through the subtle thoughts in her words and spoke:

"Master Chiyo, I have to correct you. Negotiation is not about seeking peace, but about reaching a consensus between the two sides. That's what negotiation is."

"Your attitude is as if we are surrendering. I can't help but wonder, didn't we reach a consensus on the negotiation?"

Every word he said was as sharp as a knife, and even the Sand Ninja behind Grandma Chiyo nodded slightly.

That makes sense!

It seems that our own old lady Chiyo has gone a little too far.

People have come to us and offered us a peace agreement, but we still have this attitude...

Did she really want to fight again?

"Jiraiya, can this young man represent Konoha's point of view?"

Granny Chiyo didn't answer, but turned the conversation to Jiraiya.

This is also the basic quality of a negotiator. You must never be led by the other party.

"Of course, what Ito said is what I said, he can fully represent me!"

Jiraiya crossed his arms across his chest.

Although he didn't understand negotiation skills, he could see that Toru Ito was now in the upper hand.

As expected! You won't suffer any loss if you are with this guy!

Jiraiya was secretly happy and even started planning to bring Toru Ito with him whenever he did something important in the future!

"By the way, let me introduce him to you. He is the proposer and executor of our peace talks this time, Ito Toru!"

"..."

Ito Toru's face darkened.

There is no need to say the latter sentence, Jiraiya!

Aren't you putting me on the fire?

"Oh? So your name is Ito Toru."

Granny Chiyo nodded slowly. In addition to Tsunade, she now had one more person on her alert list.

"Given your intelligence, the battles in the past period of time did not seem to be caused by you, and Jiraiya did not appear in the previous battles. What were you doing?"

? !

Jiraiya paused, but Ito Toru remained calm: "I am on a mission, and this has nothing to do with our peace talks. If Master Chiyo is interested, you can talk to Master Jiraiya slowly after the war is over."

???

Jiraiya's eyes widened and he looked at Ito Toru in disbelief.

Hey Hey hey……

I don't want to chat with an old woman!

It would be fine if Grandma Chiyo was thirty years younger, but now she looks like this, do you want to kill me, my friend?

"That's not necessary."

Grandma Chiyo looked disgusted.

"I don't want to chat with a man who looks unreliable."

What——?! I was actually disliked?!

For a moment, Jiraiya's entire background turned black and white.

"So, Lord Chiyo, are you willing to accept our peace talks?"

Toru Ito brought the topic back to where it was going.

"Ah."

Grandma Chiyo finally gave a clear answer.

At this point, there's no point in beating around the bush.

She could see that Ito Toru was a smart man. Perhaps he had been away on a mission before, but now that he had returned, the Sand Village faction could no longer gain the upper hand in terms of strategy!

After all, Grandma Chiyo is old, and it still takes a lot of effort for her to think about various strategies.

But Ito Toru is a young man, and if this continues, the Sand Village will be the only ones to suffer.

"Well, let's start negotiating now."

Ito Toru nodded in satisfaction.

"First of all, the basic condition is that we stop fighting, and then..."

The negotiations lasted a total of one day.

Jiraiya almost fell asleep while listening, and the twelve Root members and other Sand Ninjas were also trying their best to hold on.

However, Toru Ito and Granny Chiyo are full of energy, and they feel like they have met their match.

The negotiations finally ended in the evening.

"Well, these are what we have decided for now. Mr. Ito, what do you think?"

Granny Chiyo asked.

After negotiating for so long, she was a little tired.

"I think it's okay, what do you think, Master Jiraiya?"

Ito Toru symbolically asked Jiraiya for his opinion.

This scene left Grandma Chiyo speechless.

"I think it's okay, that's settled!"

Jiraiya finally made the decision.

After completing the peace agreement, Toru Ito and his group returned to the camp and informed Orochimaru of the news, who was very satisfied with it.

The Konoha ninjas soon learned the news and everyone was very excited.

The war is about to end!

After completing everything, Toru Ito walked out of the Konoha camp and met Danzo as expected.

"I asked you to increase the intensity of the war, and this is how you did it for me?"

This time, Danzo did not stand in the shadows, but appeared directly in front of Ito Toru, his eyes almost spitting fire.
