"This is a rare opportunity. Although Uchiha Iori is unruly, he did do a good thing."
Mitokado Homura's face lit up with excitement as he thought about this, and he spoke to Orochimaru with great enthusiasm.
"This time, Sunagakure was almost wiped out, and even the Daimyo of the Land of Wind had to personally intervene to mediate. We must seize this opportunity to make Sunagakure completely side with us."
Now, only Chiyo remains as a Sand Village with combat strength at the level of the Sand Village Kage. The Kazekage has died in battle, the Jinchuriki has been captured, and more than half of the Jonin have been killed or wounded. It will take at least ten years for the Sand Village to recover its strength.
Even better, the war was started by Sunagakure, which meant that even if the Daimyo of the Land of Wind intervened, Sunagakure would only suffer a smaller defeat.
"What the daimyo said is that the daimyo of the Land of Wind is personally involved. We don't have an equal representative on our side, which will be very disadvantageous in negotiations."
Orochimaru calmly stated that the ninja villages are an important military force of the country, and even if the Daimyo of the Land of Wind dislikes Sunagakure, he cannot allow it to be weakened too much.
"Moreover, the daimyo are only one class of power and relatives by marriage. Once the strength of the Land of Wind is severely damaged, it is hard to guarantee that the other daimyo will not feel sorry for him and lend him a hand."
"The Daimyo doesn't intend to interfere too much. He only said that we shouldn't let Sunagakure perish. You can handle the rest yourselves."
Mitokado Homura relayed the daimyo's thoughts, indicating that the daimyo of the Land of Fire was also annoyed by the constant attacks on Konoha by ninjas from other countries.
Although the rule set by Hashirama Senju was that ninjas belonged to ninjas and daimyo belonged to daimyo.
However, the war between ninjas still disrupted the operation of the country. Although Konoha won every time, the losses of the Land of Fire were always considerable.
"Then let Sunagakure sign a complete surrender agreement. We want 50 percent of the mission share for the first five years, and then reduce it to 30 percent after that."
Orochimaru licked his lips, a greedy glint in his eyes.
"In addition, we should also extract as much of the ninjutsu and secret techniques from Sunagakure as possible. We will not return the One-Tailed Jinchuriki to them for now, but will do so in five years."
Collecting all ninjutsu is one of Orochimaru's lifelong wishes, and he cannot give up this opportunity.
Tailed beasts are even rarer living specimens. Although he has extracted a lot of One-Tail's chakra and body tissue for research during this period, the time is too short and there are no substantial results yet.
Mitokado Homura frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Everything else is fine, but the tailed beasts are a real problem."
He considered the peace terms proposed by Orochimaru. He had no problem with the rest, but he disagreed with the handling of the tailed beasts.
"Distributing the Tailed Beasts is the First Hokage's policy, and we cannot change it. This would make other ninja villages and even the daimyo think that we are not satisfied with the ninja world order established by the First Hokage."
"We cannot send this signal, as it might turn us into enemies with the Daimyo."
Mitomon was unwilling to take risks. Although Konoha was in a much better state than in the original story, it still couldn't spare many resources for the war.
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru felt a surge of weariness and dissatisfaction.
[What a corrupt and decadent leadership! They're still clinging to the ideas of the First Hokage.]
Political struggles had severely disrupted his research, and with the possibility of not being able to achieve both the Hokage title and his dream, Orochimaru began to contemplate his true desires.
“Then I will inform the envoy of the Land of Wind and Chiyo. You go and call Tsunade over. She is the only one here whose status is equal to that of the envoy of the Land of Wind.”
Mitokado Homura was drafting the document when he spoke to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru nodded and quickly dispatched his ANBU to inform Tsunade.
Not long after, Tsunade went into the tent alone, waiting for the peace talks to begin.
After a while, the ambassador from the Land of Wind and Chiyo arrived together and entered the tent.
Mitomon Homura stood up and handed the peace treaty documents to the two men.
The daimyo's envoy took the document, read it, and then said nothing. He simply opened his fan, covering half his face, and tacitly accepted the conditions.
The Daimyo of the Land of Wind had long planned to streamline the ninja forces, and now was the perfect opportunity to push for the elite development of the Sand Ninja.
Chiyo stared intently at the document, her brows furrowed and her eyes filled with complex emotions.
She was silent for a moment before finally speaking: "Besides the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, we should have quite a few Jonin in your hands. I hope we can redeem them."
"I can't teach you Puppet Technique and Magnet Release, but we can discuss the others." Chiyo's expression was solemn. These two secret techniques were the lifeblood of Sunagakure, and she couldn't accept them being passed on from her hands.
"No, we must obtain the secret technique; this is the price for your defeat." Orochimaru looked at her seriously. The Sand Village was now the defeated party and had no right to be picky.
After a heated argument, Chiyo compromised, stating that the puppeteers were the most important remaining fighting force of Sunagakure, and their ninjutsu could not be leaked.
Chiyo had no choice but to hand over the Magnet Release technique to Konoha as the price for their defeat.
In addition, Sunagakure paid a large sum of money to ransom the One-Tailed Jinchuriki and the captured Jonin.
After the two parties reached an agreement, the signing of the contract went very smoothly, and both sides wanted to quickly return to make preparations.
After the agreement was signed, Orochimaru and Mitokado Homura summoned all the ninjas and solemnly announced the end of the war.
Upon hearing the news of the retreat, the ninjas erupted in cheers that swept across the entire camp.
Everyone's face was filled with uncontrollable joy and excitement, as if the heavy pressure had instantly dissipated.
Now they can finally go home.
Chapter 69 Oath Under the Snow (Class Card Technique Acquired, Third Magic Progress +1) (Please read on Tuesday)
夜晚
After returning from the celebratory party, Iori fell asleep and went to Valhalla.
Upon arriving at the palace, Diarmuid handed him a letter and a card, saying, "This is a letter and these things left for you by Emiya."
Iori took it and nodded. "Thank you."
He lowered his head and began to read the letter.
Uchiha Iori respectfully addresses:
Iori, the world you want to go to is on the verge of death, and we guardians have no way to descend there.
However, you can use the class card technology to send your power and part of your spirit to someone else. As long as someone uses it, you can gain their memories of when they used it.
With your abilities, one experience should be enough for you to replicate the technique.
Respectfully submitted by Shirou Emiya
After carefully putting away the letter, Iori picked up the card and channeled his will and power into the class card. Soon, he felt the summons.
-----------------
(Seven magicians fight each other using class cards that can obtain the power of Heroic Spirits. The winner will receive the omnipotent wish-granting machine and the Holy Grail.)
In the warehouse under the moonlight, the severely injured boy reached out and grasped the falling card.
In the spiritual world, Iori looked at the boy holding the card before him and asked according to the ritual, "What do you desire?"
With blood streaming down his face, Shirou Emiya said resolutely, "I will save my sister who is about to become a sacrifice, and I will do anything for it!"
“Very well, as you wish.” Iori smiled happily and lent him her power without reservation.
The magic circuits connect, and the séance begins.
Iori's power unleashed his own potential, and among the Class Cards, Iori wasn't the only Servant who responded to him, but all of Shirou Emiya together.
The guardian's shroud, the assassin's bandana, Muramasa's cloak, and Uchiha Iori's Sharingan.
He projected two swords, using one to sever the tentacles shot by the assassin.
The opponent didn't stop, shooting tentacles at Shirou one after another. "It's useless, my tentacles can regenerate infinitely, hahahaha."
Activating his Sharingan, Shirou severed the tentacles as he charged toward the assassin.
The tentacles repeatedly multiplied, turning the assassin into a gigantic monster. The tentacles formed a new outer shell, protecting his body.
"I'll finish you off with this one strike, Susanoo Susanoo."
After the black flames subsided, Shirou was enveloped in jet-black armor, which blocked the tentacle attacks.
"Synchronization begins, Secret Sword - Swallow Return - Twin Wings Style."
In an instant, six sword lights tore the enemy apart.
After the assassin died, he turned into a white doll, and the assassin's class card appeared on his back.
"Displacement magic?" Shirou said in a low voice. The enemy was long dead; this was just a puppet controlled by magic.
"Besides the assassins and archers I have, as well as the berserkers who died earlier, I need to obtain 4 more class cards to fulfill my wish."
"Four more." Shirou muttered to himself as he walked out of the street, leaving a trail of footprints in the snowy night.
-----------------
Ryudongsa Temple
The man holding the Magician class card looked at Shirou with a contemptuous smile, "Summon," and Shirou, transformed into a Heroic Spirit, took flight.
Shirou ran along the temple wall, throwing his twin swords at the enemy.
The magician unleashed magic bullets, continuously knocking down the flying twin swords.
"Circle." Shirou used Iori's power to escape the magician's sight.
"What, he's invisible?" the magician exclaimed in surprise, but he couldn't catch any trace of Shirou.
"It's over." Shirou appeared behind the magician, drew his bow, and shot an arrow that pierced the magician's body.
"How is this possible..." After the magician died, he also turned into a doll. Shirou bent down and picked up the third card.
“The important people are gone, and the glory I inherited has been abandoned. The true self that is exposed is an incurable emptiness.”
Shirou left the scene silently, his eyes cold.
"Finally, I lost everything, and that was the mission I was destined to complete."
[An epic tale of a hero, a man who abandoned justice and dreams for his family, ultimately sacrificing even his own life. No matter how many times you watch it, it always stirs your heart.]
[Having lost his family in childhood, his adoptive father in adolescence, and now his lover, with his sister about to die as a sacrifice, it has to be said that Shirou's life is quite tragic in every timeline.]
-----------------
Fuyuki Park
Shirou and the cavalry began a deadly battle in the fog. The enemy's chains were as cunning as venomous snakes, but under the Sharingan, his tracks were nowhere to be hidden.
"I want to win...I want to take it back..." the white-haired man murmured to himself. Perhaps because he had been dead for too long, he no longer possessed a complete consciousness.
Shirou threw out his twin swords, and the cavalryman removed his blindfold, revealing a pair of strange, demonic eyes beneath it.
The petrifying magic eye from the legendary Medusa attacked Shirou, but under the suppression of the Mangekyou Sharingan, the petrification only lasted for a few seconds before it stopped working.
