Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 345 Post-War Talks
In the reshaped virtual space, Hinata Yu asked the figure in front of him: "What do you think?"

"..."

Hyuga Shizuka looked at Hyuga Yu, not knowing how to answer.

On the battlefield, he was hit in the face by an explosive talisman and thought he was doomed, but unexpectedly he found a way out and his spirit entered the virtual space, saving his life.

Now they have encountered Hyuga Yu, a traitor ninja who is difficult for the Hyuga clan to evaluate. It is true that life is unpredictable.

Hinata Shizuka had a complicated expression and smiled bitterly: "Do I have the room to refuse? If I really died, it would be fine, but knowing that an outsider has occupied my body and intends to use my body to complete a certain plan... No normal person would have a second answer."

"Then when the time is right, you can return to your body."

Hinata Yu nodded, and his figure gradually became illusory, leaving Hinata Shizuka alone there.

"I never thought that someone like me would be the center of attention one day. My body was taken over by someone on the first day of my death, and I became valuable in Hinata Yu's eyes."

Hinata Shizuka thought with a smile on her face.

But if possible, she hoped that this kind of thing would not happen to her.

This virtual world is good in every way. It can generate the pictures you want in your mind, and everything meets your expectations.

Before Hinata Yu came, she thought she had come to the so-called pure land. The people here spoke nicely and looked good, and she could find her deceased family members here. She loved this place very much.

I also secretly lamented why I didn't die earlier and enjoy a peaceful life.

Finally, Hinata Yu came and told her that everything was fake, and it was drawn according to the world she hoped for. It was even more perfect because she thought she was dead.

"…If I didn't know that this place was fake, I could stay here for the rest of my life without any problems." Hinata Shizuka sighed secretly.

……

The Iron Country, a land once known for its neutrality, has now become the focus of high-level officials from various countries.

The smoke of war had just dissipated, but the smell of gunpowder still lingered among the ruins. Leaders of various countries gathered together in a solemn atmosphere.

"…The above are the demands of our country and the Snow Country. If all countries agree to pay compensation, then sign this document."

Yagura took out dozens of documents and had them distributed to the leaders of various countries.

Huang Tu glanced at the contents of the document, his face looked grim, and he said indignantly:
"This war was started by you, the Water Country and the Snow Country, and you're asking us to pay compensation..."

Yagura yawned and interrupted, "Lord Huangtu, you are not a child anymore. What's the point of talking about the right and wrong of war in this situation? I didn't see you compensate the losses caused by the big countries to the small countries in the previous wars. Instead, you have been exploiting them."

"..."

The leader of the small country originally wanted to help Huang Tu, but he stopped and remained silent.

Although the big country has given them some benefits in the past two years, it is somewhat inappropriate to refute on such a matter...

However, compensation involves the actual interests of each of them, and they cannot just sit there and wait for death.

A leader of a small country finally mustered up the courage to break the silence: "Lord Yagura, Lord Huangtu, our small country has also suffered a lot of losses in this war. We don't have the ability to bear the huge compensation like the big countries."

Another leader of a small nation echoed, "Sir Yagura, our economy is already on the verge of collapse. If we pay a huge amount of compensation, our people will not be able to survive."

Many ninjas on the battlefield in the Land of Earth were mobilized from small countries like theirs, and their losses were not small.

Faced with the two giants, the Water Kingdom and the Snow Kingdom, they did not have enough strength to resist. Now their confidence has disappeared because their big brother was defeated, so they can only play the victim.

In response, Yagura smiled slightly, as if he had been prepared:

“Everyone, I understand your difficulties. The Water Country and the Snow Country do not want to see small countries get into trouble because of compensation. We suggest that compensation can be made in other forms, such as providing labor, technical support or resource cooperation.” The expressions of the people present changed slightly, and the Fourth Raikage slammed the table with his fist, shaking the documents on the table slightly.

"You are trying to win people's hearts here. Whose territory do you think this is?!"

The roar of the Raikage echoed in the conference room, causing the leaders of the small countries present to change color, wake up, and lower their heads like ostriches.

What kind of technical support and resource cooperation?

Yagura is clearly trying to get the small countries to take sides and win them over!
It would have been fine if they didn't have this opportunity before, but now that all the countries have been defeated, Yagura is throwing the opportunity in their faces, making it impossible for the small countries not to be tempted.

If the Fourth Raikage had not interrupted, many people might have surrendered to the enemy on the spot.

After all, let alone the small countries, even the loess had a moment of hesitation.

The Land of Earth is now unable to withstand the turmoil. Most of its main forces have been captured due to the operations of the Akatsuki organization. The only reason it can still sit in the position of a great power is due to the strong support of the Fourth Raikage.

If the troops cannot be redeemed, the Land of Earth will have to rely on the Land of Lightning. In that case, who does it matter who they rely on? Can't they just go find the strongest one?
However, when he thought of his compatriots who died on the battlefield, Huang Tu instantly suppressed those thoughts.

He is not a qualified politician and cannot put interests above all else.

Yagura remained unmoved and continued to smile, as if he had already anticipated the Raikage's reaction.

He gently waved his hand, signaling the Raikage to calm down, "Sir Raikage, you misunderstood. The Water Country and the Snow Country have no intention of buying people's hearts. We just proposed a solution, hoping to help the small countries overcome difficulties. After all, war is a disaster for everyone!"

Yagura spoke the last sentence slowly, each word clearly.

This guy is threatening me with war?

The Fourth Raikage's eyes widened, "If you want to continue, then continue. Do you think..."

"Cough cough!"

Ma Buyi, who was standing behind the Fourth Raikage's seat, coughed helplessly.

Ever since Killer Bee died for the Land of Lightning, the Fourth Raikage has been extremely angry. Now that he has said this, there is no need for the talks to continue.

The Fourth Raikage stopped abruptly, looked back at Mabui, and managed to calm down, but his tone was still cold. He talked to Yagura for a few more words, and then stopped talking, watching him and Tsunade argue quietly.

"I want to talk to you about ransoming the prisoners of war."

"of course can."

The Fourth Raikage lowered his brows as he listened to the conversation between the two begin again.

Everyone understands that the two sides' bickering is just delaying time.

All countries want to use this time to solve the problem of the eight thousand spears, while the Snow Kingdom and the Water Kingdom are digesting their gains.

When the time is right and Dingding's people appear at the venue, everything will end smoothly.

The only ones who will benefit are the Snow Kingdom and the Water Kingdom, it's just a matter of how much.

After all, they lost so badly this time.

The Fourth Raikage recalled the body of Killer Bee found at the border and the ninjas captured by the two countries. He clenched his fists subconsciously, and finally let go weakly.

No matter which side, he has no ability to retaliate...
