Me and countless me.

Chapter 53: The Broken Peace Talks
The envoy of Kirigakure looked at the Konoha camp in the distance, feeling extremely unwilling to admit defeat.

After all, for Kirigakure this time, things were really too strange, whether it was the inexplicable appearance of a ninja with a particularly large amount of chakra, which directly freed Minato Namikaze from various small battlefields.

Or perhaps the sudden appearance of the Wood Release Ninja was something they could not accept.

In fact, this is very normal. No one can accept that when their team has the advantage, they are defeated by two people within one day. When they want to counterattack, they are interrupted.

The reason why the messenger refused to admit defeat was very simple, because he felt that it was not impossible to defeat the Hidden Mist Village, but he was unable to win because of a series of reasons.

And most importantly——

"Konoha is really arrogant. Do they really think we will help them delay Kumogakure and Iwagakure?"

Looking at the contents of the contract, Goji Yagura couldn't help but ask.

The cooperation talks had already started before, and this signing was just a formality. After all, it is impossible to really negotiate during the formal negotiations. If the talks fail, there will be nothing to talk about.

So in fact, the Hidden Mist Village has already negotiated terms with Konoha.

It is a peace treaty without any compensation, not even a treaty of defeat.

"After all, it's not us who were beaten to our homeland, and now Konoha is even more anxious. The Daimyo of the Land of Fire clearly stated in his letter to our Daimyo that he was not satisfied with the performance of Konoha Village."

As a member of the negotiation team, this member of the Mizunotsuki family looked at the Konoha reception staff and couldn't help but reveal a scornful smile on his face.

"So if it weren't for those guys' incompetence, we wouldn't have..."

But just when he wanted to continue speaking, Karuji Yagura, who served as the bodyguard and the guarantee of power for this trip, immediately waved the weapon in his hand to stop the other party from continuing speaking.

Because it's already arrived.

Looking at the Konoha's welcoming staff not far away, and the golden figure that made him very curious, Karuta Yagura was already prepared to be on guard.

On the side, a ninja wearing an eye patch frowned because he found something wrong.

"Why is there a ninja with white eyes on the team?"

The ninja named Ao, who had seized the Byakugan that the Hyuga clan had lost on the battlefield, became a little cautious.

"Maybe it's to show what they can do for peace. After all, Konoha Village has always been like this."

The messenger didn't care and said it casually.

Konoha Village has always been like this. As long as they can hold out to the end and let Konoha Village propose a peace treaty, the treaty will not be too harsh.

The other ninjas also nodded, they all knew these things.

It has been like this since the First Ninja World War, and Konoha Village desires peace much more than they do.

There was a sneer among the Kirigakure team.

On the Konoha side, the members of the Hyuga clan clenched their fists as they looked at the figure wearing an eye patch. If possible, they all wanted to kill this ninja named Ao and take back the Byakugan, but -

They dare not shoulder the charge of starting a war at will!

So these Hyuga ninjas could only watch as the ninja named Ao took off his blindfold openly, observed his surroundings, and only after making sure that there was no problem did he ask the messenger to start the handover.

A Konoha ninja couldn't help but clench his fists. Although he was not a Hyuga ninja, he was very clear that this was a provocation!
Even after being beaten like this by them, you still dare to provoke us!
"Asshole..."

He clenched his fists but didn't dare say anything.

He knew very well that no one wanted to fight anymore. Now even the slightly disabled and newly graduated ninja school students were sent here, and the amount of supplies sent was obviously much less than before. It was unacceptable to continue fighting, so if he disrupted the peace talks, then he would be the sinner of Konoha.

"Then let's negotiate terms."

Nara Shikaku looked at the envoy from Kirigakure and sighed. He didn't want to sign such a contract either. But if he was given two thousand normally organized ninjas and sufficient supplies, he would dare to directly attack the capital of the Water Country.

But the problem is that there is no such thing. The exaggerated financial and personnel consumption of maintaining four fronts has already seriously damaged Konoha's vitality.

The Kirigakure messenger smiled and looked towards the location of the sealed Three-Tails.

"Well, I hope we can all get satisfactory answers."

As they said this, the group came to the lake where the Three-Tails was stored, where there was no trace on the surface, and the Kirigakure ninja saw the legendary Wood Release ninja.

Li Ke stood expressionlessly beside the Three-Tails, watching the Kirigakure ninjas begin to introduce themselves to each other, and then start arguing with the negotiators from Konoha over matters that had already been decided.

But it's just some quibbling over minor details.

Then, just when the treaty was about to be signed, the Kirigakure ninja said something that made Li Ke a little confused.

"You'd better understand that it's not us Kirigakure who want peace the most, but you, Konoha! If you want to continue fighting, we, Kirigakure, are ready to accompany you at any time! I just don't know if you, the ninjas of Konoha, can adapt to the ever-changing environment on the water! And in the process, attacks from other ninja villages! So if you want peace, you'd better show more sincerity and give up some of your interests! So that our Kirigakure ninjas are willing to negotiate with you!"

The Kirigakure messenger sneered as he made his threat, as if he was the victor.

When these words were spoken, the faces of almost all the Konoha negotiators turned very ugly. They needed the Hidden Mist Village to contain the Hidden Cloud and the Hidden Iwagakure, so it was impossible for them to be too harsh on the Hidden Mist Village. What's more, it had been decided that as long as a peace treaty was signed, any conditions would be agreed to.

So there is nothing they can do.

Li Ke was actually quite curious, why did the Hidden Mist Village feel that they still had the strength to fight?

It is true that Konoha Village needs the existence of Kirigakure, but this does not mean that Kirigakure can be so arrogant and domineering. However, since it is so weak and yet so confident, then...

Let them understand this.

"I'm also curious as to why you think—"

Li Ke's figure jumped up instantly, and before anyone could react, he landed on the negotiation table. Then he grabbed the Mist Messenger's neck with one hand and lifted him up.

"——Our Konoha Village is incapable of destroying your Kirigakure Village?"

His palms kept tightening, and he looked at the entire Kirigakure Envoy with a ferocious smile. He didn't say anything to the Kirigakure Envoy, but crushed the man's neck casually and threw him to the ground.

No one expected such behavior, and Nara Shikaku even widened his eyes, because at this time, he vaguely guessed what Li Ke was going to do!

Li Ke raised a sword finger, and a huge amount of chakra started to work instantly. The Three-Tails, which was controlled at the same time, roared suddenly, and the Wood Release Giant that was pressing on him extracted a large amount of chakra and launched his own technique.

"It seems that in order to make you understand this, we need to change the negotiation location."

The terrifying chakra surged, and while others were confused, the negotiators from Konoha and the Kirigakure envoys all had the mark of the Flying Thunder God inexplicably appearing on their bodies, and then suddenly disappeared into the air.

And the place where they appeared the next moment was——

Kirigakure Village.

　There is another chapter in half an hour, and I will post one chapter every half an hour. It is impossible to post 100 chapters today. I changed the outline twice and all the drafts I have in my archives are wasted, but I can post all the new 100 chapters within this week.
