Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 412 Peace Talks
The Third Raikage, enveloped in lightning, raced across the sea.

It seems that it only takes two steps to cross a distance of several hundred meters.

However, the Cloud Ninja on the ship quickly noticed that the Third Raikage's speed was rapidly decreasing.

They were able to track the Third Raikage's movements with their eyes!

This would have been absolutely impossible before; they couldn't even see an afterimage.

The closer he got to the shore, the slower the Third Raikage's speed became.

Bie Sheng pointed to the sea and said, "There's something wrong with those water droplets!"

A large cloud of light mist appeared on the shore. It was that mist that caused the Third Raikage's speed to drop drastically upon contact with it.

The Third Raikage seems to have encountered strong resistance.

Just then, a fish leaped out of the sea and appeared in everyone's sight.

The fish was actually suspended in a light mist.

A terrible resistance appeared in the mist, which was as sticky as glue, causing the fish to freeze in the mist.

No one has ever seen this secret technique before. What kind of ability is it?
Finally, the Third Raikage stopped on the beach.

He could rush up to the Konoha ninja, but his speed was greatly reduced, and he no longer posed any threat.

He had considered using Wood Release to deal with him, and he had considered using Earth Release to deal with him, but the fox pulled out a new secret technique.

This new secret technique actually weakened his greatest advantage: speed.

Seeing Nara Shikano's calm demeanor, the Raikage knew that if they really fought, he would likely be the one to suffer.

Yagami watched as the Third Raikage calmed down and lowered his hand.

Absolute Resistance Crystal Mist can create suspended crystal-refined water chakra in the air, generating immense resistance and reducing the speed of all attacks.

The faster the speed, the greater the resistance.

Slower speeds actually result in less resistance.

Nara Shikaku said, "Lord Raikage, may we begin negotiations?"

After giving the fox a fierce look, Raikage silently walked towards a pavilion on the shore.

That attic was the agreed meeting place between the two parties.

After a long while, more than ten Cloud Ninjas walked briskly across the pier.

The advisor, prepared to endure humiliation for the sake of Kumogakure, spoke to Nara Shikazuki in a kind tone:
"Lord Shikanobu, Lord Raikage is always like this, unable to control his temper."

We've already changed ships three times along the way; the first two were destroyed because of Lord Raikage's terrible temper.

Nara Shikaku smiled and said, "I've long heard of Lord Raikage's fiery temper. Let's go, let's finish the peace talks."

People from Konoha and Kumogakure entered the top floor of the pavilion.

The attic is a roof supported by pillars, and there are no walls on any side.

This is a perfect spot for enjoying the sea view. The sunrise, sunset, and colorful rays of light shining into the pavilion must be beautiful.

Although there was no sunrise or sunset at this time, the azure sea and blue sky with white clouds created a vast and expansive scene.

However, the new daimyo of the Land of Hot Springs, sitting in the main seat, looked flustered, held his breath, and dared not look at the scenery outside the pavilion.

He lowered his head, pretending to look at the scroll on the table.

The Third Raikage, standing to the side, was tall, dark-skinned, and muscular, making the new daimyo uneasy.

After everyone was seated, the new daimyo coughed and said:
"Regarding the recent war surrounding the Land of Hot Springs, I think there should be a result by now."

The daimyo glanced at Nara Kazumi and, following Nara Kazumi's previous instructions, mustered his courage and said:
"Before the peace talks, Kumogakure must give the Land of Hot Springs an explanation: Where did you take my uncle, the previous daimyo, to?"

"Your uncle?" The Third Raikage's voice roared.
"Your uncle was executed by Konoha! Executed, do you understand?"
When Konoha's early battles went slightly wrong, the Guardian Shinobi abandoned your Land of Hot Springs.

That's why our Hidden Cloud Village took over your uncle's protection.

Then Konoha drove us away. Konoha blamed your uncle for siding with us, so they executed him!
Just like criticizing a young girl for not resisting her rapist, Konoha is always so hypocritical and disgusting.

The daimyo trembled, not daring to say anything, only glancing at Nara Shikaku. Nara Shikaku frowned and said, "Third Raikage, don't slander Konoha with empty words."

After killing the Two-Tails, Moi, and Tsuchidae, the situation in Konoha has become very stable.

We've already killed the Two-Tails, and we're too busy protecting the Daimyo to possibly lay a hand on him.
You actually allowed your spies to carry out their scheme, kidnapping the former daimyo and even killing him.

I have formally informed the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning of your actions.

"We should maintain at least some respect for the daimyo of all nations, don't you think, Raikage?"

The new leader nodded repeatedly.

The clan members shared the same opinion: Konoha Village had absolutely no need to take action against their uncle.

The muscular ninjas of Kumogakure often act impulsively; it must have been the Kumogakure ninjas who were behind it.

"You!" The Third Raikage slammed his fist on the table in front of him, shattering it into pieces.

Shards of stone tabletop splintered and flew towards Daming.

Just as Bie Sheng was about to stop the stones, he suddenly saw them slowly slow down and stop in the light mist in the air.

He quickly looked at the fox.

The fox is making a hand seal.

What exactly is this secret technique? Why can the shallow mist it creates generate such great resistance?

The moonlight dispelled the crystalline mist, and the stones fell to the ground, making a crisp sound as they hit the floor.

Nara Shikaku said, "Lord Raikage, incompetent rage is of no benefit to peace talks."

The Third Raikage was enveloped in lightning, about to unleash his power again.

Before the Third Raikage could speak, Bie Sheng quickly said:
"Lord Shikanobu, what good will it do for the peace talks if you anger Lord Raikage?"

Nara Shikaku said, "Your Kumogakure took advantage of Madara Uchiha's attack on Konoha and invaded the Land of Hot Springs."

You have conspired with Iwagakure to assassinate Shinnosuke, the advisor.

It's not that I'm provoking you, but your losses are well-deserved and you brought it upon yourselves.

The two Shinobi World Wars have already proven, and future Shinobi World Wars will continue to prove, that provoking Konoha will only lead to certain death.

Madara Uchiha was very strong, and Konoha was indeed hit hard, but this blow was insignificant to Konoha.

Even if Konoha is weak, it can still take down any other ninja village.

If you want to fight, Raikage, you don't need to be here banging on the table and blowing your beard. Fight if you want, fight for as long as you want. Konoha has plenty of ways to deal with this.

Hopefully your Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is stronger than Ryuujin, otherwise, the Eight-Tails will also die.

If you don't want to fight, then you'd better listen to me obediently.

Don't be afraid to take the blame, speak up before the Raikage: "Lord Shikanobu, tell us your peace treaty proposal."

The new daimyo was furious to see the Cloud Ninja, but no one stepped forward to be the troublemaker.

Even the Third Raikage did not interrupt the negotiations between Bessou and Nara Shikaku.

Nara Deer Antlers completely seized the initiative.

The Hidden Cloud Village compensated the Hidden Leaf Village with 4 million ryo and the Land of Hot Springs with 3 million ryo.

Both sides pledged not to enter each other's vassal states again; Konoha would no longer attack the Land of the Moon, and Kumogakure would no longer enter the Land of Hot Springs.

In addition, Kumogakure also needs to withdraw its spies from the Kingdom of Hot Springs.

After the peace talks ended, Nara Shikanobu and Yoru stood together by the railing of the pavilion, watching the Cloud Ninja group leave by boat.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "The matter of the Land of Hot Springs is finally over. I need to go back to the village and fight for the position of head of the Dark Guard."

There are also secret techniques such as the Book of Sealing and the Eight Gates Formation.
