Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Inside the Hokage's office.

"Well, have you seen the other Shadow's guard leaders?"

Qu Feng nodded, indicating that he had naturally seen it.

"They will all become shadows in the village in the future, and if there is a war, they will be your formidable enemies."

"Don't worry, Master. If they dare to offend Konoha, I will kill them without mercy."

To outsiders it might seem like nonsense—a seven-year-old child daring to say he killed the heirs of other villages.

But Hashirama knew that Wind-Taming was capable of it, after all, it had been with him for so long.

"When the meeting starts, just stand behind me and don't say anything, but pay attention to what the other shadows are saying."

Taking orders from the wind, he knew that the meeting was not a place where he could speak carelessly. But why did his master tell him to pay attention to the other shadows' remarks?

Should I also learn how to negotiate and discuss with other villages?

Chapter 92 Five Shadows Talk

Taking orders from the wind, he knew that the meeting was not a place where he could speak carelessly. But why did his master tell him to pay attention to the other shadows' remarks?

Should I also learn how to negotiate and discuss with other villages?

I couldn't figure it out no matter how much I thought about it, so I simply stopped thinking about it and just did what my master said.

A few hours later, the Five Kage Summit officially began, which appeared to be nothing more than a gathering of five middle-aged and elderly ninjas.

Every action at this gathering will affect the entire ninja world; war or peace is just a matter of a single thought.

For the five major powers, war is merely a waste of resources and manpower, but for other smaller countries, it may mean the risk of national extinction.

Therefore, smaller countries are constantly switching between the five major powers, acting like opportunists with crystal clarity.

After all, if you don't have enough strength, you can only survive by clinging to powerful figures.

If you accidentally turn your country into a battlefield, that would be truly tragic.

The five Kage arrived at the meeting room that Tobirama had prepared long ago. In the center of the meeting room was a pentagonal table.

The meeting was very serious. Apart from Tobirama and Torifu standing behind the Hokage, each of the other Kage had only one person behind them.

And they are basically the next generation's shadow.

A group of old foxes immediately understood what was going on when they saw the boy named Qu Feng.

This is either a disciple of the Hokage or a successor he is grooming.

But some people have doubts: is a seven or eight-year-old child too naive to attend such a meeting?

After all, we'll definitely have to spar later.

However, none of the Kage said anything. The Hokage's disciple must have some skills.

However, compared to their heirs, they are far inferior, given the age difference.

Not enough to be afraid of.

After all the Kage were seated, Hashirama, as the host, spoke first, offering some welcoming words as an opening remark.

The other Kage also expressed that they came to participate because they wanted to make a contribution to the peace of the ninja world.

Everyone's words sounded incredibly righteous, but no one knew what they were really thinking.

"Since everyone yearns for peace, today's talks should be much more pleasant."

Hashirama then got straight to the point and presented his ideas.

"I hope that everyone can sign a peace treaty for the ninja world together, to ensure that war will never be started again."

Upon hearing this, the four shadows, who had just been making grand pronouncements, fell silent, each harboring their own plans.

For example, destroying a small country to enhance one's own strength; in fact, many wars that should have been launched were forced to stop because Hashirama proposed a meeting.

In a way, it indirectly saved the life of a small country.

"What? Is everyone reluctant?"

Hashirama was somewhat displeased by the Kage's reaction, even though they had just been acting all righteous and awe-inspiring.

Why are you all silent now?

At this moment, the Kazekage spoke calmly: "Lord Hokage, Sunagakure can sign a peace treaty."

Hearing Retsuto say this, Hashirama felt much better. If no Kage signed the treaty, wouldn't this meeting have been a waste?

But Retsuto added, "Everyone knows the situation in my Sunagakure village: the sky is full of yellow sand, there is no land, and we cannot farm."

"Water resources are scarce, and the villagers' lives are not yet secure."

Retsuto shook his head and sighed, "I can sign treaties to protect the peace of the ninja world, but who can protect the lives of the villagers of Sunagakure?"

What Liedou said is very true. That's exactly what I saw in Sunagakure. The villagers were living very difficult lives.

But none of them lost hope.

People lacked food and clothing, and even taking a bath was a luxury, yet they still lived with great vitality.

Hashirama felt sympathy for the plight of Sunagakure after hearing this, as the Kage were aware of the situation in the Land of Wind.

It has been a barren land since ancient times, where crops cannot be grown.

Simply providing food is only a temporary solution, enough to feed the people of Sunagakure for a few months or even a few years.

Hashirama wanted to find a better way to solve this problem, but he couldn't guarantee that Sunagakure wouldn't turn on him in the future.

At that moment, Fuujina placed his ear close to Hashirama's and spoke a method in a voice only Hashirama could hear.

Hashirama nodded after hearing this, his face clearly showing that he was no longer hesitant.

He then said, "I can use Wood Release to create a forest for you. You just need to fertilize it regularly, and in a few years you will have a large area of ​​arable land."

Upon hearing this, Lie Dou was overjoyed. This was indeed a good idea. If what the Hokage said was true, then Sunagakure would finally have a foundation.

Even if the output is less, it's still better than nothing.

Once Sunagakure is able to produce food stably, its strength will definitely increase steadily!

"Then thank you very much, Hokage-sama. I will sign the peace treaty on behalf of Sunagakure."

While expressing his gratitude, Lie Dou was secretly planning for the future.

But how could the method proposed by Tokiwa make Sunagakure so easily become rich and powerful?

Ultimately, none of these figures are good; once they get fat, they all want to fight.

If it's really as Hashirama said, then we've probably aided the enemy.

After the forest created by Wood Release is consolidated for a few years, it is indeed possible to grow food, and the yield will be even higher in the first few years.

But that was only a few years ago. Wood Release is, after all, a ninjutsu, and it will gradually weaken.

The land will gradually deteriorate, and although it can still be cultivated, the yield will be far less than before.

It's enough to barely fill our stomachs, but thinking about storing it up as a combat resource is wishful thinking.

The other Kage, seeing that the Kazekage had signed the treaty so readily, were at a loss for what to do next.

Signing the agreement would undoubtedly reduce the village's chances of plundering the development of smaller countries.

However, if they don't sign, it's uncertain how the Hokage will react. If the village suffers heavy losses as a result, it would be a great loss.

"Are the Mizukage, Tsuchikage, and Raikage not planning to sign a treaty? Weren't you all just talking about maintaining peace in the ninja world?"

Hashirama spoke calmly, yet the Kage who were called out felt a chill run down their spines.

They were all of equal status, but neither of them dared to be arrogant in front of the Hokage, because their strength was not on the same level.

"Iwagakure Village signed a treaty."

Shihe was the first to speak, without making any demands or complaints, and simply signed the treaty.

After struggling for a long time, the Mizukage reluctantly signed the treaty, presumably due to Hashirama's strength.

At this moment, the Raikage spoke up: "Did the Hokage abduct the Eight-Tails in the Land of Lightning? We need to be informed of this."

The Tsuchikage and Mizukage couldn't help but sigh. Almost all the tailed beasts from various countries had been captured by Konoha within a few days.

Everyone knew the truth, but no one brought it up. What was the point of saying anything now that they'd already been arrested?

Without the backing of real power, the Raikage's question seemed utterly ridiculous.

"The Eight-Tails was indeed captured by Konoha."

Chapter 93 Jointly Safeguarding Peace

Without the backing of real power, the Raikage's question seemed utterly ridiculous.

"The Eight-Tails was indeed captured by Konoha."

“But I don’t think I need to explain anything to you. All tailed beasts are ownerless, and the Land of Lightning once tried to capture the Nine-Tails living in the Land of Fire.”

"However, it seems you haven't succeeded."

The Raikage realized he had been a bit foolish after he finished speaking, but it was too late to take it back. He was also furious to be rebuked by Hashirama.

But there's nothing we can do; what they said is indeed true.

Ai thought no one knew about his plan to capture the Nine-Tails, but he didn't expect the Hokage to find out.

This is incredibly embarrassing.

That last sentence was already quite offensive to Hashirama. If we don't propose signing a treaty now, we might really anger Hashirama.

"Kumakuya Village has also signed a treaty, and from now on, we will work together with everyone to maintain peace in the ninja world."

Torifu didn't believe a word of what the Raikage said, after all, the First Shinobi World War was started by the Hidden Cloud Village.

They thought Konoha was deserted after Hashirama's death, but they never expected to be utterly defeated by Tobirama.

In the end, they had no choice but to withdraw their troops and sue for peace.

And that was exactly what the Raikage was thinking.
