Time keeps moving forward, and no one can stop it.

At this time, it has been less than half a month since the reconstruction ceremony of the Uzumaki Shinobi Village.

The shadows of each village and other guests invited to the Uzumaki Shinobi Village have already left.

They brought back what they saw and heard here to their respective villages. As expected, the wind direction of the ninja world began to change again.

In the past, the major countries were full of hostility towards the alien Uzumaki Naruto, but now, no one dares to say a bad word about this young man.

Naturally, no one dares to underestimate the new country of whirlpools, let alone covet it.

In general, all countries have recently stopped their efforts and dared not make any big moves.

However, this does not mean that the world is at peace. On the contrary, the existence of Uzumaki Naruto makes all countries feel more urgent.

The terrifying power of one person destroying a country makes everyone afraid. They must do something to avoid being powerless when the other party makes a move in the future.

Take the Land of Earth as an example. On the day of his return, Ohnoki visited the daimyo's mansion and stated what he had seen and heard.

The daimyo of the Land of Earth did not believe that a person's strength could reach that level. He just thought that Ohnoki wanted to increase the village's funds, but because of Ohnoki's tough attitude, the daimyo had to be cautious. In the end, Ohnoki finally relied on the powerful forces behind him and the network of relationships he had built over the years to allow the daimyo to double the village's annual funds.

Although Ohnoki still wanted more, he also knew that too much was as bad as too little.

With this money, Ohnoki began to plan for Uzumaki Naruto.

First of all, the long-shelved cloning plan and forbidden technique development plan were put back on the agenda.

In addition, the Iwagakure education system was also reformed by old man Ohnoki. The ninja school set up a new elite class, and the elite class had only one goal: to benchmark Uzumaki Naruto.

There is no reason why the dignified Iwakage can't do what Uzumaki Naruto can do.

Big countries are basically doing reforms and responses like this.

But some small countries don't seem to care much.

Although the leaders of each village explained to the leaders of each country that the wind direction will change in the future, not many lords really take these things to heart.

Those idiots think that the Whirlpool Country is so far away from them that even if they really want to fight, other big countries will not sit idly by. Instead of wasting a lot of money on some ninja village reform, it is better to use the money to build a few more palaces and recruit a few more concubines. That is the real benefit that can be seen.

Not every lord of a country is wise and powerful. These hereditary nobles have long been accustomed to extravagant and extravagant lives. They have no awareness of danger in times of peace. When the change comes, they are the first to be eliminated, and they are also the group of people who must be eliminated.

...

The Whirlpool Village is particularly lively today.

In fact, the entire Whirlpool Country is in jubilation.

The news that the ninjas of the Land of Thunder invaded the Land of Whirlpools and more than half of them were annihilated, and thousands of people were captured alive, and even the Raikage was captured alive, spread like wildfire.

Everyone knew that the Land of Whirlpools had finally been freed from the long-term humiliation.

The Land of Thunder, which had been riding on their heads for nearly 20 years, could no longer oppress them. Not only the Land of Thunder, but they were no longer second-class citizens and could stand up straight.

How could people not be happy about this?

On the top of the Ming Tower.

The high-level officials of the Whirlpool Village, including Naruto, Nagato, Gaara, Orochimaru and other figures, all gathered here.

Today was also their celebration banquet.

At the banquet, good wine and good food were served like water.

After three rounds of wine, and five flavors of food.

Everyone drank until the cup was dry, and everyone's face was filled with smiles, especially the people of the Whirlpool clan who were the happiest.

After all, after being oppressed for so many years, the clan members were in a panic like dogs that had lost their homes. Now, they can be considered to be proud.

The banquet lasted for four hours.

After eating and drinking, everyone calmed down and prepared to discuss business.

Gaara took out a notebook from his arms: "Since Naruto defeated the first generation of Hokage and Uchiha Madara, our Whirlpool Country has become famous. Recently, various countries have sent envoys to discuss the establishment of diplomatic relations with us. According to the plan, we did not reject any of these countries and signed non-aggression agreements and mutual trade treaties with them. Among them, there are several articles in the mutual trade treaty that are completely beneficial to us. For example, the signatory countries will not collect taxes from our Whirlpool Country merchants, including tolls, commodity taxes, import taxes, etc."

Everyone smiled when they heard this. This is proof that the country has deterrence. As long as you are strong enough, others will not dare to say a word even if they suffer losses.

Afterwards, Gaara reported many trivial matters, which were basically beneficial to the Whirlpool Country.

And other general mattersAfter all the explanations were given, the main topic of today was brought up.

——That is how much compensation should be demanded from the Land of Lightning.

As mentioned before, Naruto will not miss this opportunity to legally blackmail the Land of Lightning.

They sent people to attack the village, which was a real invasion. Their demand for compensation was reasonable and legal, and no one could say anything.

After everyone discussed it, the result was finally reached.

——One hundred billion in compensation, and the Land of Lightning would lease five port cities to the Uzushio Village.

Three days later.

Representatives from the Land of Lightning and the Uzushio Village sat at the negotiation table.

The Land of Lightning had a whole delegation of more than a dozen people, while the Uzushio Village only sent three people.

They were Kabuto, Uzumaki Jungoro, and Gaara.

Gaara was the person in charge of this negotiation.

He didn't say any extra words, just one sentence: "We want 300 billion taels and 80% of the territory of the Land of Thunder as compensation, otherwise the country will be destroyed."

The Land of Thunder's delegation visiting the Land of Whirlpools has always been famous for its toughness. At the beginning, the Land of Thunder competed with the Land of Fire because of the kidnapping of Hinata, and it was this group of people who came forward to negotiate.

At that time, the Land of Thunder was at its peak and the domestic war sentiment was high, so they were aggressive at the negotiation table, and finally prompted the Third Hokage to compromise and let Hyuga Hizashi, who killed in self-defense, die, and finally calmed down the incident.

Although there were many other factors involved in forcing the self-defense person to die to apologize, just from the result, we can know how powerful these diplomats are.

But no matter how good their mouths are, they will be at a loss when they meet the Whirlpool Shinobi Village.

Because Gaara and others didn't want to talk from beginning to end.

After saying how much compensation they wanted, they rolled their eyes and looked at the sky, as if you can't hear us talking.

The negotiation experts of the Thunder Country have never seen such a situation in all these years. If it were normal, they would have turned the table over and started fighting.

But now, they can only patiently say some nonsense. After all, the current situation is different from the past. The current Thunder Country has no capital to confront the Whirlpool Country.

Before they came, they knew that they would definitely bleed this time, and the purpose of the negotiation was just to pay less.

The negotiation lasted for three days.

Just when these diplomats were greasy and embarrassed, the Whirlpool Country finally gave in.

The compensation was reduced to 120 billion taels, a one-time payment, and 80% of the territory was not wanted. They only wanted the five port cities of the Thunder Country, and they were willing to return the prisoners of war.

When they heard that the compensation had dropped so much, the people of the Thunder Country were overjoyed. Although some people saw that this was the other party's strategy, they could only agree to it at this point. After all, the situation was stronger than the people. They had no confidence to wrestle with others and could only be slaughtered like pigs.
