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

"Kazekage, this price is indeed a bit high!"

Minato Namikaze stepped in to smooth things over.

"High? I don't think so. However, if your Kirigakure really finds it high, I can give you a discount, but what happens later will be hard to say."

"!!!"

Everyone frowned, immediately feeling that Rasa's words had a hidden meaning.

"What does the Kazekage mean?"

"It's simple. Tailed beasts are immortal. After the Six-Tails is resurrected, whoever can catch it gets it."

The Third Raikage's eyes lit up immediately.

"Oh, that's a good idea?"

Because it meant that Kumogakure could also capture the Six-Tails and Five-Tails.

Now, Ōnoki was even more anxious than Yagura.

"Don't joke around. The distribution of tailed beasts was an order established decades ago during the Five Kage Summit by the First Hokage."

The Third Raikage said with a sly smile.

"Hey, Ōnoki, what's your hurry? Besides, those were all rules from decades ago. What era is this now?"

"What are you saying, you bastard?"

At that moment, whether it was the Mizukage or the Tsuchikage, their expressions were unsightly. The Raikage was happily watching the show, and Rasa was very calm. Seeing this, Minato, as the host of the meeting, sighed in his heart.

"The existence of the Raikage's rules naturally has its meaning. After all, no one can guarantee that their village's tailed beast won't encounter any accidents."

The Raikage's expression instantly turned ugly.

"Hokage, are you threatening me?"

After all, Kumogakure's tailed beast, the Eight-Tails, had experienced a rampage before. If the Third Raikage hadn't fought with his life and successfully sealed the Eight-Tails back then, it would probably be in the same situation as the Five-Tails and Six-Tails now.

Of course, Minato would not be afraid of the Raikage's threat.

"No... Raikage, you misunderstand. I'm just stating the facts."

"Hmph!"

The Raikage snorted coldly and looked at Rasa.

Of course, he understood that Minato was using Rasa to pressure him. Currently, Rasa was the only one in the entire ninja world capable of killing a tailed beast single-handedly. The Raikage really couldn't guarantee that the two tailed beasts in his village wouldn't suffer the same fate as Iwagakure.

Seeing this, Minato then looked at Rasa and continued, "Kazekage, the price you just mentioned is indeed too high. I think the reason we are all here is to stop the war. So, I think instead of wasting time, why not state a price that you can accept."

"I can accept!? Hmph!"

Rasa said without giving any face.

"Hokage, are you joking? Do you think that the lives of those civilians who died in our Sunagakure during this tailed beast turmoil are not worth this little money?"

After Rasa finished speaking, he looked at the other four people present.

"If any of you think it's not worth it, I can take the tailed beast to tour your villages."

Immediately, Rasa's threatening words made the atmosphere in the conference room heavy.

Seeing this, Minato also knew Rasa's strength, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he looked at Ōnoki and Yagura.

"So, Tsuchikage and Mizukage, what kind of price can you accept?"

Ōnoki and Yagura looked at each other. Everyone was silent, but perhaps they knew that they would eventually have to return to this issue. Yagura took the lead and said.

"Thirty percent. What Kirigakure can offer is thirty percent of the military expenses used to purchase the Six-Tails at that time, as compensation for this Sunagakure tailed beast turmoil."

"What about Iwagakure?"

Ōnoki's eyes darted around.

"Since that's the case, our Iwagakure is also willing to offer thirty percent, and the Jinchuriki, we..."

Ōnoki's words were interrupted by Rasa.

"There's no room for negotiation about the Jinchuriki. I'm already being very polite by not raising the price, Ōnoki. Either pay the full price, or leave the Four-Tails in our Sunagakure."

"You..."

Ōnoki immediately looked furious. As for the others, they were completely watching the show. Ōnoki could only be impotently furious.

Minato waited until the atmosphere was almost right before looking at Rasa and asking.

"So, Kazekage, how about the conditions proposed by the Mizukage? Can you accept them?"

"What do you think?"

Rasa pretended to be thinking.

"To be honest, I'm very dissatisfied with this price. The others in the village certainly won't agree. However, just like the Hokage said, since we're here, we definitely don't want the war to continue. Our Sunagakure is also willing to show some sincerity."

Minato and Yagura's eyes lit up.

"But a thirty percent price is still too low. So, I have some additional conditions. As long as your Kirigakure can represent the Land of Water in accepting them, then I'll agree."

Yagura's expression darkened again, because Rasa was talking about the Land of Water, not just Kirigakure.

"Kazekage, what are your conditions?"

"It's very simple. You should have seen it when you came. Our Sunagakure is very lively now. There are many merchants from other countries, but unfortunately, there are relatively few merchants from your Land of Water, as well as the Land of Fire, Land of Earth, and Land of Lightning."

Everyone present also understood Rasa's meaning.

Unlike the small countries that currently come to Sunagakure, the merchants of these five great countries, because of the current ninja world war and mutual hatred, don't have the courage to do business in Sunagakure.

"So, my request is also very sincere, that is, your Land of Water can develop and accept merchants from our Sunagakure. There are three main conditions: 1. No exorbitant taxes or levies shall be imposed on merchants from Sunagakure. 2. Sunagakure ninjas can carry out missions to protect Sunagakure merchants on the land of the Land of Water. 3. The Land of Water shall not hinder merchants from the Land of Water from doing business in our Sunagakure."

These two conditions surprised Yagura.

To be honest, not only Yagura, but also the other Kage present could feel it.

Rather than saying he was the leader of a ninja village, the Kazekage Rasa in front of them was more like a businessman.

However, this was a good thing for everyone present.

At least Rasa wasn't a madman with great power like Uchiha Madara.

Yagura also considered the conditions put forward by Rasa, and from his point of view, except for the second condition, which involved the interests of Kirigakure, the other two seemed to have nothing to do with Kirigakure. Therefore, he thought for a while and replied.

"I need to discuss these matters with the Daimyo."

"No problem. Anyway, there's plenty of time next."

This was good news. The talks between Sunagakure and Kirigakure had achieved a breakthrough. Then, next was Iwagakure.

Ōnoki, who was seen in embarrassment by everyone, thought for a while and said.

"Regarding the matter of compensating Sunagakure's losses this time, I can also talk to the Daimyo about these conditions."

"No problem. As long as the Land of Earth can also agree to the conditions I put forward, then our Sunagakure can let bygones be bygones regarding the Five-Tails."

"What about the Four-Tails?"

"Hey, don't be too greedy, Tsuchikage..."

Rasa said here, with a meaningful look in his eyes.

"I see. Tsuchikage, I heard that your relationship with the Four-Tails Jinchuriki has always been bad. So, could it be that you actually don't want to bring the Jinchuriki back at all? If that's the case, I have a discount method. I can extract the tailed beast separately and give it to you. In that case, giving you a 30% discount wouldn't be impossible..."
