Reborn wind shadow: Attack the country of fire in the beginning

In order to prepare the venue for these guests who had come from afar,

the two eight-story buildings in Sunagakure closest to the Kazekage Building were emptied.

One of the buildings was occupied by people from the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning, and the other was occupied by people from the Land of Fire and the Land of Water.

As for the five Daimyos, separate courtyard villas were arranged for them.

It could be said that the five Daimyos were here purely for tourism.

Although they were Daimyos, in this backward era, they didn't need to be responsible for too much official business. The Daimyos could only truly manage a few large cities, including the Daimyo's residence, while the rest were in a self-sufficient, wild state.

The military power they possessed was completely incomparable to that of the ninja villages.

The only thing they could use to restrain the ninja villages was material military expenditure.

Therefore, for them, enjoying extravagance was their main task in life.

Why didn't Rasa directly raise the flag of rebellion now?

Mainly because there was no need. The existence of the Daimyos didn't really affect Sunagakure much. That bit of unpleasantness could be tolerated for the time being, but if they directly became independent, Sunagakure would immediately become the target of public criticism.

Because in this world ruled by bloodlines, the concept of hierarchy was still imprinted in the hearts of many native residents of this world. If Rasa became that anomaly, it would definitely arouse the hostility of the entire upper class of the ninja world.

Currently, that was not what Rasa wanted to see.

The Five Kage Summit as a whole had nothing to do with these five Daimyos.

Their task was just to eat and drink.

For example, on the first day, the five Daimyos gathered together to attend a banquet held by Sunagakure.

In addition to the five Daimyos and the Kage of the five major ninja villages, visiting noble leaders and family heads were also qualified to participate.

After that, Sunagakure gave them the right to move freely within Sunagakure.

The five Daimyos, under the care of Sunagakure, continued to eat, drink, and play around, and then waited for the start of the Desert Flower Ninja Exam.

However, the Kage of the five major ninja villages couldn't relax.

After the gathering on the first day, early the next morning,

the main event of this Five Kage Summit began as the five Kage, with two guards each, arrived at the conference room prepared by Sunagakure...

--------------------------------------------------

Huge conference room.

A round stone table was placed in the very center, and then there were five chairs occupying the five corners.

The representatives from Sunagakure were: Fourth Kazekage Rasa, Maki, Shingu.

The representatives from Konoha were: Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, Shikaku, Inoichi.

The representatives from Kumogakure were: Third Raikage Ai, Future Fourth Raikage, Dodai.

The representatives from Iwagakure were: Third Tsuchikage Onoki, Kurotsuchi, Doshi.

The representatives from Kirigakure were: Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karatachi, Juzo Biwa, Mangetsu Hozuki.

After everyone was seated, the meeting officially began.

However, everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and no one spoke first.

Seeing this, Rasa said directly.

"Although this meeting is being held in our Sunagakure, the initiator is, after all, the Hokage. Therefore, let's leave the chairmanship of this meeting to the Hokage."

Minato Namikaze was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little surprised.

"I understand. If no one else has any objections, then I will take on the role."

The other three Kage naturally had no objections.

"Thank you for your support!"

After expressing his gratitude, Minato Namikaze glanced at everyone and continued.

"First of all, I must thank everyone for being here, allowing this Five Kage Summit to be held smoothly. Therefore, can I confirm that everyone no longer wants to continue fighting? There is only one reason for everyone to be here, and that is to end this war."

As soon as Minato spoke, the Third Raikage immediately said.

"Hokage, peace is not something that can be achieved just by talking. We have lost so much in this war, someone has to compensate us, right?"

Onoki immediately followed up.

"Compensation? Raikage, who do you want to compensate you? Konoha? War is a matter of life and death. Not to mention that the victor has not yet been decided. If there really is to be compensation, Mizukage, shouldn't you give our Iwagakure an explanation?"

Although Yagura Karatachi was short in stature, his aura was not weak at all.

"No... explanation. Tsuchikage, our Kirigakure doesn't need to give anyone an explanation. Our Kirigakure is also a victim of this war. The Third Mizukage committed suicide to take responsibility, and we also lost the Six-Tails. Tsuchikage, what explanation do you still need from our Kirigakure?"

"That is your Kirigakure's matter, and it has nothing to do with our Iwagakure. Your Kirigakure designed to frame us, causing our Iwagakure to lose the Five-Tails. Moreover, the person who came to our Iwagakure back then was Juzo Biwa behind you, right?"

"That also has nothing to do with our Kirigakure. Our Kirigakure has already paid the price it should have. All of this can only be said to be your Iwagakure's own fault. The Kazekage had already agreed to trade with you."

"Kid, what are you talking about?"

Seeing that the Tsuchikage and Mizukage were about to quarrel, the Raikage and Rasa watched the show from the sidelines, and Minato stopped them, saying.

"Alright, you two, it is clear that arguing will not lead to any results. In that case, let's first confirm one thing, and set a premise for the official start of the discussion. First of all: I can represent Konoha and put aside all the hatred brought about by this war."

This surprised the other four, including Rasa.

After all, if we were to talk about Konoha's greatest enemy today, Sunagakure would definitely have a seat.

"Since the Hokage has said so, if I disagree, it would seem that I have no magnanimity. I can also make a promise on behalf of our Sunagakure."

The Mizukage also quickly echoed.

"Our Kirigakure has no problem either."

After all, Kirigakure's presence in this war was basically non-existent, except for causing the Tailed Beast Riot for Sunagakure in the end.

Seeing that the Hokage, Kazekage, and Mizukage had all said so, the Raikage naturally had no choice, but Onoki still asked unwillingly.

"Putting aside hatred, then can I understand that, Kazekage, you can return the Four-Tails Jinchuriki to our Iwagakure."

Rasa snorted coldly and said.

"Of course I can return it to your Iwagakure, but it depends on how much money your Iwagakure is willing to pay. In addition, the losses caused to our Sunagakure by the Five-Tails and Six-Tails will still not be reduced by a single penny?"

Onoki's expression changed and he said.

"Kazekage, is this what you call putting aside hatred?"

"Isn't it? If I hadn't put aside hatred, do you think I would be willing to return the Four-Tails Jinchuriki to you? Although our Sunagakure doesn't need the power of the Tailed Beasts now, we don't mind having one more Tailed Beast."

"You..."

Onoki was momentarily exasperated, but Yagura Karatachi asked.

"Then, what does the Kazekage think, how should we compensate your Sunagakure?"

Rasa had already had an idea.

"Our Sunagakure is not greedy. How much military expenditure did your Kirigakure spend to get the Six-Tails from the First Hokage Hashirama Senju at the First Five Kage Summit? Just compensate us that much?"

Upon hearing this, Yagura Karatachi said without even thinking.

"That's impossible. We Kirigakure are indeed very sorry about the Six-Tails, but the Six-Tails is already dead. If it were alive, we wouldn't mind."

"Don't agree? Then there's nothing to talk about."

At this point, the talks fell into a stalemate from the very beginning...
