Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 163: The two countries are engaged in a war of words, so they should be magnanimous

"Jiraiya!"

"Sorry, I'm late!"

The pink girl rushed into the central military tent. Before she arrived, her voice had already reached the ears of everyone in the tent.

"It's Sakura who's here. Not too late, not too late, just right."

Jiraiya looked at Sakura, who had obviously just woken up, and smiled as he invited her to sit next to him.

"Humph, no rules."

A slightly old voice sounded, and Sakura could see everyone in the tent clearly.

In addition to Jiraiya and Kakashi, there was an old woman in her seventies and an unknown man and woman.

Looking at Koharu Utane's ugly face, Sakura couldn't help but twitch her lips.

So the negotiation team sent by the old man is this old woman~~
Sakura glanced at the old woman, snorted, curled her lips, and sat down on the seat to Jiraiya's right.

I am a great man and I don't care about the mistakes of a villain. For the sake of respecting the elderly and loving the young, I won't bother with this stinky old woman.

Looking at Sakura's attitude of being the boss above all else, second only to her, and me the third in command, Koharu Utatane's wrinkled brows furrowed even tighter.

"Hehe, don't say that, Senior Koharu. After all, Sakura plays a vital role in this war."

Jiraiya tried to smooth things over with a smile, then quickly spoke without giving Utane Koharu a chance to speak.

"Now that everyone is here, I will briefly explain it while there is still some time before the negotiation."

After Jiraiya finished speaking, he quickly took out a scroll and placed it in front of everyone.

This is the information that was dug out from the Raikage's mind in the past two days, as well as the interests that Konoha needs.

Sakura glanced at the long list and nodded in satisfaction.

Big appetite, I like it.

"The first one is something that everyone knows, war reparations."

"We can tentatively set this at 5 billion taels."

Sakura thought for a moment after hearing this. How many Asumas would this require?

142.8 old horses~~~
"Ahem, of course this is something we can discuss with the other party."

Jiraiya glanced at Sakura and found that this girl seemed to be thinking about how to pry the 5 billion out of Kumogakure, so he added another sentence.

"After all, Yunyin is a bitter and cold place. It is probably impossible for them to pay so much money."

Sakura rolled her eyes at Jiraiya and said, “Just say it, and you specifically said it to me.”

Are you insulting my intelligence?

"Then..."

Jiraiya said a lot of things, but to sum it up it was nothing more than compensation, cession of territory, and stationing troops.

If you don't have money, gold, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings will do. It would be even better if it was all gold.

"Of course, the last and most important point."

Jiraiya pointed his finger at the last regulation.

Just four words: real waterfall.

Sakura glanced at the last item and felt no emotion at all.

Now that the body of the Raikage is in Konoha's hands, with the abilities of the Yamanaka clan, there will be no problem in digging out information about Turtle Island and the real waterfall.

Or it would be strange if it couldn't be dug out.

"If we take this place, even if the previous compensation, ceding of land, and garrison are only symbolic, there will be no problem at all!"

After these words were spoken, everyone present remained expressionless.

Obviously Jiraiya had already explained this before the meeting, and now he mentioned it again specifically to tell Sakura.

However, Sakura's reaction really disappointed Jiraiya. He just leaned on the table with a calm expression, supporting his chin, waiting for the meeting to end.

"Um, Sakura, aren't you curious about where this place is?"

Jiraiya couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw Sakura's expression. He was actually expecting this pink-haired girl to ask him what he was doing like a curious baby.

Sakura glanced at everyone, understood, and then showed an exaggerated expression, looked at Jiraiya with a face full of "curiosity", and said with a tone full of "expectation":

"Wow, what's this place for?"

"Tell me quickly~~"

Seeing Sakura's fake look, Jiraiya smiled helplessly and didn't care. However, Koharu Utane, who was sitting opposite Sakura, frowned more and more when looking at Sakura.

"How unruly! Didn't Hiruzen teach you what etiquette is?!"

Utane Koharu looked at Sakura, her cloudy eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.

"what?"

"Rules? My rules are the rules!"

Sakura would never indulge her. It's easy for old people to put on airs. Sakura understands, but don't put yourself in her shoes.

Otherwise, if you are embarrassed, don't blame Sakura!

"Girl, do you think you can act recklessly just because you have some strength?"

Seeing that this youngster didn't buy his talk, Tennekoharu criticized him with a frown.

"Yes!"

Sakura nodded in agreement and continued:
"I relied on this little bit of strength to defeat Yunyin, what can you do to me!"

Three days later, Sakura's battle record was not only spread among the front-line troops, but also in Konoha Village, and even reached the front line of River Country.

It can be said that Sakura has now completely secured her position as the number one of the new generation!

This is not the new generation of Konoha, but the first person of the new generation in the ninja world!
Especially after the war, she went to the medical team without stopping for two days to treat the wounded, which made many people see the shadow of Tsunade in her.

Why does Tsunade have such great prestige? In addition to her identity as the granddaughter of the first Hokage, she also founded the medical system and personally treated all the wounded equally regardless of their identities.

Almost all Konoha ninjas have received Tsunade's favor!
And now, another genius who is as good as or even better than Tsunade has been born!

"You little girl, I have tolerated you for a long time!"

When Utane Koharu saw Sakura stiffening her neck with a look that asked, "What do you want to do?", she couldn't help but get so angry that her chest heaved violently.

when?
Is there anyone in Konoha besides Tsunade who dares to speak to her like this?

"You stinky old woman, I have tolerated you for a long time!"

Sakura stood up almost with a bang and retorted.

"Uh, calm down, calm down!"

Kakashi, who was standing by, pulled Sakura with an embarrassed look on his face and motioned her to sit down.

"What did you say?!"

"What the hell did Sarutobi teach you?!"

Utane Koharu became even angrier.

If she hadn't been old and her strength hadn't declined drastically, she would have been ready to take action in the past!
"The old man taught me to go up and beat up anyone I disliked!"

(Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was far away in Konoha, sneezed for no apparent reason)

"enough!"

"This is a military unit, not a market. If you want to have a quarrel, do it back in Konoha!"

Jiraiya stood up and slapped the table.

This made Utane Koharu, who was about to start scolding, swallow her words back.

"Humph, for Jiraiya's sake, I'll let you go this time."

Utane Koharu looked at Sakura, snorted coldly, and sat back.

"Don't take advantage of your age, it's still unclear who will let go!"

Sakura didn't tolerate her and immediately retorted.

"Didn't you hear what I said?!"

Jiraiya looked at Sakura and Utane Koharu with a bad look on his face.

On one side is the new generation who have just made great achievements and are gaining popularity.

On the other side are the older generation who have lived in Konoha for a long time and dedicated their lives to Konoha diligently.

The collision between the new generation and the old generation was inevitable, but Jiraiya had never expected that this scene would actually happen in the troops he led.

Give you some face.

Sakura glanced at Jiraiya, curled her lips and stopped talking. On the other side, Utane Koharu also silently stopped talking.

"Okay, we are all companions, there is no need to be like this."

"I'll treat everyone to a meal after we return to the village."

When Jiraiya saw that Sakura and Utane Koharu were no longer confronting each other, he put away his serious expression and started laughing.

It was because of Jiraiya that this meeting went smoothly.

Then everyone planned to take people to the agreed location to prepare for negotiations with Yunyin.

At the same time, he led a thousand ninjas to follow closely behind.

There was no way around it. After all, there was a precedent in Yunyin, where they took advantage of the negotiation to kill the negotiators, even though they also killed their own people.

The Second Hokage died in a negotiation meeting.

These thousand ninjas kept a distance from the negotiation team that was neither too far nor too close, and followed behind them openly.

Sakura looked at the simple hut built with earth escape in the distance, and was still a little curious about the so-called negotiations.

After all, this is the first time I have encountered this in my past or present life.

The negotiators on the Konoha side were mainly Utane Koharu, and the man and woman she brought with her were to assist Utane Koharu.

Sakura and Jiraiya were also responsible for keeping the situation under control to prevent the Hidden Cloud Village from making another move.

“What should we pay attention to in negotiations?”

Before arriving at the negotiation site, Sakura looked at Jiraiya with some curiosity.

"Negotiations between two countries are just a war of words, so we should be magnanimous."

Before Jiraiya could speak, the man who was assisting Utane Koharu spoke in a friendly manner.

The other party was a member of the Yamanaka clan, named Yamanaka Ze. Yamanaka Ze had heard a little about the best friend of his eldest daughter.

"The most important thing is words, that is, be polite and courteous."

"This will demonstrate the magnanimity of our great country."

"Anyway, Ms. Ying isn't in charge of the negotiations, so just watch from the sidelines."

Listening to Yamanakaze's words, Sakura nodded thoughtfully.

I didn't realize that people in this ninja world are so magnanimous.

She would have to take a good look at how magnanimous this was.

As the Konoha side entered, the people from Kumogakure had already been waiting there for a long time.

Uchiha Obito and Orochimaru were not here, and it was obvious that both of them had no interest in such negotiations.

Or rather, neither of them is suitable to be here.

In addition to Qilabi and Darui who were there to keep the peace, there were two or three negotiators headed by Tutai.

After the Konoha side came in, the faces of the people from the opposite side of the Kumogakure remained calm without any change, but Sakura seemed to have vaguely smelled the smell of gunpowder.

This has nothing to do with combat, it's purely intuition.

Is this a psychological game?

What a great experience.

Sakura couldn't help but feel emotional as she watched the scene before her.

She was ready to see if the scene would be similar to Zhuge Liang's debate with the scholars.

There was a stone table in the stone house, which was also made by earth escape. Yunyin sat on the opposite side, and Muye sat on the other side.

Sakura was sitting next to Jiraiya, and opposite her was Darui who was sitting next to Killer Bee.

This guy had his chin on one hand, looked lazy, and was chewing gum.

"Tutai, long time no see."

Utane Koharu looked at the 'earth platform' opposite her and spoke.

It was like two old friends greeting each other.

"Yeah, it's been a while."

Dodai responded to Utane Koharu, with no change in expression on his face.

During this period of time, Jue read a lot of information and carefully studied the life of Tutai.

After the Third Ninja World War, Tsuchida met Utatane Koharu at a peace conference.

He was prepared for this. With his thousand years of experience, he would certainly not reveal his true colors.

"So let's get started then."

Utane Koharu nodded slightly, indicating that they could begin, but at the same time she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

I don't know what's wrong, but I just feel like something is wrong.

However, with Jiraiya and Sakura in charge, as well as the ninja troops not far away, Utane Koharu is not worried about any conspiracy from the other party.

Although he was a little unhappy with Sakura, he could not doubt the other party's strength.

As soon as Utatane Koharu finished speaking, the other person from Kumogakure spoke up:

"We strongly protest!"

"The Fire Nation has blocked the export of food without caring about the lives of the people in the Ninja Realm, causing our people to starve to death and live in hunger and cold!"

"The Fire Nation is fully responsible for this and this war!"

As soon as the other party opened his mouth, he took the moral high ground and accused the Fire Nation.

Sakura couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard that.

Everyone can say nice things.

"You're protesting!"

"What does my Fire Nation's things have to do with your Lightning Nation?!"

"We haven't even mentioned that you, the Hidden Cloud Village, made two attempts to kidnap the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the Hyuga Princess!"

"You protest your horse!"

As soon as the other party finished speaking, Yamanakaze immediately responded with fierce words, even swearing in such an occasion.

???

Not a buddy?

Is this what you mean by being magnanimous? Being polite? Being courteous?

"That's right!"

"Since when will it be your turn as an outsider to interfere in the internal affairs of the Fire Kingdom?"

"A bunch of barbarians, are you qualified to talk about the things of my Fire Nation?!"

"We are willing to give you alms, so you should just be grateful to us, you bastard!"

As soon as Yamanakaze finished speaking, another female member of the Konoha negotiating party also spoke without stopping, even making direct personal attacks.

This female member is named Kurama Asuna. I didn’t expect that Kurama Asuna, who looks weak and delicate like a beautiful girl, actually has such strong fighting power!
"Aha?!"

"You are disrespectful!"

The Yunyin negotiator on the opposite side raised his brows and became immediately angry.

"Is this disgraceful?!"

"It's insulting to Svenima!"

Kurama Asuna slapped the table and her expression suddenly changed.

This is a special stone table. My hands hurt from clapping it.

But even so, he still angrily said:
"It is not your turn to decide the resources of our Fire Nation!"

"And you actually started a war over it!"

"Now that we've lost the war, we're coming to negotiate?!"

"Still want to continue negotiations to achieve your goal?!"

"You guys have taken all the good things in the world?"

Sakura couldn't help but twitch her lips as she watched both sides speak eloquently and fluently.

I have learned a lot...
