Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 235 This condition is too lenient. Can't the Hokage also hold the positions of Kazekage and Mizukage?

It's not just Kakashi Hatake.

The other Jonin were also somewhat bewildered upon hearing the news.

The war started too suddenly, catching everyone off guard, and ended too abruptly, leaving everyone with little sense of participation.

"Although the wars we remember were brutal, what happened today..."

"There's absolutely no joy in victory..."

"Hey, saying something like that is going too far!"

"That's not what I meant... I just feel like I haven't done anything..."

"Because we really didn't do anything..."

The other Jonin were also somewhat at a loss. They wondered what they were doing and why everyone had come to attend this kind of strategic meeting.

Did this war council actually serve any purpose?

No.

It's still useful.

At least we can sit together and complain.

"Before attending the meeting, I discussed the cruelty of war with my subordinates. I hoped that my dear subordinates would train hard before the war intensified, so that they could survive the war..."

"Should I tell them tomorrow that the war that just terrified them is over? I have a feeling I'll lose their trust..."

"They'll probably ask... has war really broken out?"

"On her very first day in office, Lady Tsunade waged war against Kirigakure and Sunagakure, yet she swiftly quelled the conflict within twelve hours. News of this will spread throughout the entire ninja world. Won't the enemy nations think it's fake news…?"

"During the succession ceremony, I also solemnly told Shikamaru that war is a terrible thing, and many comrades may die beside you..."

Nara Shikaku shrugged and chuckled, "I'll go home and tell him that the war ended in twelve hours. Oh well, it's probably for the best. At least we didn't have to sacrifice too many comrades on the battlefield..."

"Lady Tsunade."

Kakashi Hatake, sitting in his chair, suddenly turned to Tsunade: "The war was over in twelve hours. Was it Kagura's doing?"

"yes!"

Tsunade immediately realized what was happening and nodded hastily, saying in a deep voice, "Everyone, don't let your guard down. This is because Kagura single-handedly conquered Sunagakure and Kirigakure, bringing this victory to Konoha, so we don't have to sacrifice too many comrades..."

Because the war seemed so short and trivial, Tsunade forgot how brutal it would be if it really broke out. It was all thanks to Akihara Kagura that it ended so quickly!

but…

It seems she can't promote Akihara Kagura.

Kagura Akihara was right to become Hokage simply because of her achievements in conquering two ninja villages and quickly ending the war. However, Tsunade resigned and stepped down on the very second day after becoming Hokage. Isn't that a bit strange?

"Let's adjourn the meeting!"

Tsunade waved to signal the end of the war meeting and continued, "Everyone, go back and get some rest. Tomorrow, inform everyone in the village that the war is over..."

the next day.

The villagers of Konoha were still immersed in their anxieties about the war.

As a result, they received news that the war was over and that Kirigakure and Sunagakure had announced their unconditional surrender to Konoha the previous night, causing a strange atmosphere to permeate the entire village.

"This…"

"Didn't you sleep well?"

"Could it be that I didn't just fall asleep last night, but instead passed out and slept until the war ended?"

All the villagers were somewhat skeptical of their ears.

However, regardless of the circumstances, the end of the war was a good thing for them; the only question was whether or not to celebrate the victory…

because…

The war did not bring much suffering.

Before anyone even had time to worry about what problems the war would cause, the war, which they were still worried about before going to bed last night, was over. The joy that was within their grasp made them unsure whether they should cherish it.

of course.

They are lucky.

At least the messages they received were in the correct order.

Inside the Hidden Cloud Village.

The Fourth Raikage, A, looked at the two intelligence reports on the table.

Both of these intelligence reports are the latest information collected by the people of Kumogakure.

One report stated that Sunagakure had unconditionally surrendered to Konoha, while the other stated that Kirigakure had surrendered to Konoha. These two reports were utterly baffling.

"When did the war begin?"

The Fourth Raikage's expression was rather grim as he pondered to himself, "Could it be because of the death of that old man, the Third Hokage?"

Last time, Kumogakure reported that a riot had occurred during the joint Chunin Exams with Konoha, and that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had passed away. The Fourth Raikage had been waiting for news of war to break out, but instead received news of Kirigakure and Sunagakure constantly seeking peace.

to this end.

The Fourth Raikage even sent men to intercept and kill envoys from Kirigakure and Sunagakure, hoping to incite conflict among the three ninja villages, which would also help weaken the enemy country.

on the other hand.

The Fourth Raikage was also waiting for his chance.

In order to revitalize Kumogakure, the Fourth Raikage has been constantly plotting to seize the secret techniques and bloodline limits of various villages in the ninja world, waiting for the opportunity for Kumogakure to rise.

To put it bluntly...

The Fourth Raikage believed that the Hidden Cloud Village under his rule was the strongest among all the countries, but it had never had a suitable opportunity to rise up and become the overlord of the ninja world.

just now…

It seems like an opportunity has arisen?

It seems like no opportunity has arisen again.

"Raikage-sama!"

A dark-skinned female secretary walked in and hurriedly placed a document down: "News from the Land of Fire: Tsunade, the newly appointed Fifth Hokage of Konoha, has issued a war declaration against Kirigakure and Sunagakure. A new Shinobi World War is about to begin..."

"Mabui, the war is over!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, glared at the document with displeasure, then angrily tore it to shreds: "I haven't even received news of the war yet, but I've already received intelligence that Kirigakure and Sunagakure have declared their unconditional surrender to Konoha!"

"Quickly go and ask the intelligence department what they're doing. Tell them to find out the details as soon as possible why Sunagakure and Kirigakure surrendered unconditionally to Konoha!"

"yes…"

The female ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village could only rush to the intelligence department.

Compared to the comical intelligence department of Kumogakure, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, took intelligence very seriously, and the order in which he received the intelligence was actually quite correct.

"Did that little girl Tsunade succeed as the Fifth Hokage?"

After lamenting the passing of old friends and the rise of new ones, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, saw Tsunade announcing war to the two ninja villages: "Is a new Shinobi World War about to begin?"

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, recalled the rare period of peace in recent years. He began planning to train an army while also intending to hire members of the Akatsuki organization to instigate war between Konoha, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure, hoping to cause more bloodshed in the three ninja villages and buy time for Iwagakure to train its ninja army.

result.

Iwagakure has paid the Akatsuki's employment deposit.

The surrender notices from Kirigakure and Sunagakure also appeared on the Third Tsuchikage Onoki's desk, infuriating him. He had wasted a lot of money here while the war over there was already over.

"Cancel the commission!"

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, had no choice but to cancel the commission.

As for that deposit, it can only benefit the Akatsuki members.

For a long time, the relationship between Iwagakure and Akatsuki has been quite good. Relying on Akatsuki's powerful fighting force, Iwagakure does not need to maintain a strong army to ensure its status among the surrounding small countries.

The land of rain.

The base of the Akatsuki organization.

The Akatsuki organization receives the latest information.

Because the Akatsuki organization possesses Zetsu, the fastest intelligence agent in the ninja world, who can use White Zetsu clones to quickly gather explosive news from all over the ninja world.

Because the matter involved Akihara Kagura, much of the news could not be known to ordinary members of the Akatsuki organization; only core members such as Nagato were discussing it.

"Konoha's new Hokage, Tsunade, has started the war..."

When White Zetsu mentioned this information, he felt somewhat dazed: "Konoha's Wood Release ninja, Akihara Kagura, single-handedly defeated both Sunagakure and Kirigakure..."

"Just like Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi back then..."

Black Zetsu recalled the history he had experienced, glanced strangely at Nagato's Rinnegan, and was still thinking about that lingering thought.

Let Akihara Kagura revive Uchiha Madara with Edo Tensei, and then let Uchiha Madara control Nagato to use the Rinnegan's Rinne Rebirth Technique to completely revive Uchiha Madara. Once Uchiha Madara is revived, the plan can be accelerated!

The only problem is…

Kagura Akihara stated that he could not yet restore the resurrected Madara Uchiha to his prime.

of course.

if you can…

Black Zetsu still intends to proceed according to the original plan.

Although it might take a while, it would be better to resurrect an old, incapacitated Madara Uchiha by then, which would be more advantageous for his plan...

or…

Actually, it's not necessary to revive Uchiha Madara, because Akihara Kagura can also use Wood Release, and as long as she has the Rinnegan transplanted, she can also assist in the Eye of the Moon Plan.

Black Zetsu felt a surge of excitement.

Because of Akihara Kagura's appearance, Project Moon Eye has too many alternative plans.

"Hmph, so what if they obtain Hashirama Senju's power?"

Obito Uchiha recalled Akihara Kagura's confident declaration that she would become Hokage, and a sneer appeared on his lips: "That brat, didn't he also fail to become the Fifth Hokage of Konoha?"

Obito Uchiha really wanted to see...

What kind of expression does that brat named Akihara Kagura have right now?!

"However, Kagura also wielded some power."

Black Zetsu glanced at Obito Uchiha before continuing, "Last time, it was also thanks to his help that Kisame and Itachi Uchiha were able to escape from Konoha..."

Nagato, controlling Pain, nodded, fully agreeing with Black Zetsu's opinion: "Having such an inside man is indeed a good thing for us..."

Putting aside other things.

Akihara Kagura helped eliminate Shimura Danzo.

This alone was enough to win over Nagato and Konan.

"alright."

Pain looked at Black Zetsu and asked softly, "Now that Kagura is with Akatsuki, we definitely have enough power to capture all the Tailed Beasts. When will the plan begin?"

"To avoid alerting these major powers, we should at least wait for the Three-Tails to be reborn..."

Black Zetsu gave a hoarse reminder, then continued, "But there's no need to worry. After this strange war ends, Sunagakure and Kirigakure should completely submit to Konoha. Kagura is Konoha's Hokage's assistant, so perhaps she can help us when we capture the tailed beasts from those two villages..."

Konoha Village.

The problems in Sunagakure and Kirigakure are quite troublesome.

Such matters certainly cannot be discussed in the village; only the Konoha leadership can make the decision. In the event of a major incident, the successive Hokage of Konoha must be consulted.

Inside the Hokage Building.

A group of Hokage were arguing incessantly.

The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, wasn't particularly interested in how to deal with the two villages, casually offering his opinion: "There's really no need to do anything about it, right? They're just minor troubles that can be resolved anytime..."

"!!!"

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, twitched his forehead.

This guy thought he was strong enough and relied on his power to suppress the ninja world and prevent war from breaking out. After he died and was resurrected, didn't he learn any lessons?

In fact, Akihara Kagura made a good point: it was precisely because her elder brother acted too casually and did not choose to rule the entire ninja world that the war broke out.

"If this isn't handled properly, problems will arise in the future!"

Tobirama Senju looked at Kagura Akihara as if she were the one in charge, and his suggestion was extremely bloody: "Kill the high-ranking officials of these two villages, force them to disband their armed forces, and annex the lands of the Land of Water and the Land of Wind!"

"Their land is not as prosperous as the Land of Fire..."

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, cautiously offered his opinion: "From a diplomatic standpoint, if Sunagakure and Kirigakure still exist and choose to ally with Konoha, they can still suppress the two enemy villages, Iwagakure and Kumogakure..."

"I agree..."

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, immediately nodded, recalling his past thoughts: "A and Killer Bee from Kumogakure are a very strong pair of rivals..."

"really…"

The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, recalled meeting the Fourth Raikage, A, from Kumogakure, but then remembered Akihara Kagura's behavior: "Is that arrogant guy A alright...?"

"My only responsibility is to carry out the mission..."

Kagura Akihara sat in her seat drinking tea, seemingly having no opinion on how to deal with the two ninja villages. In reality, she secretly hoped that the two villages would recover and rebel against Konoha, so that she would have an excuse to go and deal with them.

In that case...

We need to be stricter with them.

By the way, I can also take this opportunity to learn some new and interesting knowledge.

Kagura Akihara subtly raised her finger, controlling the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, to speak on his behalf: "Have both villages hand over all their ninjutsu and forbidden technique scrolls, and I'll let the Fourth Hokage meet Naruto..."

"..."

Minato Namikaze felt this deal was quite suitable and took the initiative to propose, "Since they have surrendered unconditionally, let's first have Kirigakure and Sunagakure hand over all their ninjutsu and forbidden techniques..."

"..."

Everyone present nodded in satisfaction.

This is definitely the most advantageous thing for Konoha. There's no need to mention compensation or anything like that. If these ninjutsu scrolls appear in Konoha, they can also train the village's ninjas.

After a consensus was reached at the meeting, more consensuses quickly emerged, and finally a complete agreement appeared on the table.

First, Sunagakure and Kirigakure should hand over all the scrolls of ninjutsu and forbidden techniques from their villages, including Sunagakure's top-secret puppet technique.

Secondly, the Kazekage of Sunagakure and the Mizukage of Kirigakure must be appointed and permitted by Konoha before they can succeed to the position of the Kage of their respective villages, and they must always obey the orders of Konoha.

Third, if Sunagakure and Kirigakure encounter missions that conflict with Konoha, they must automatically abandon the missions, prioritizing Konoha's interests above all else.

Fourth, the Land of Wind and the Land of Water are fully open to Konoha, and Konoha ninjas are free to carry out missions in both countries.

Fifth, Sunagakure and Kirigakure are not allowed to form any other alliances, and all tasks related to the small countries they control, such as the Land of Birds and the Land of the Sea, will be transferred to Konoha.

Sixth, Sunagakure and Kirigakure must pay Konoha a certain amount of war reparations.

"These conditions..."

After reviewing all the drafted ceasefire agreements, Tsunade immediately felt that if someone dared to put such conditions in front of her, she would fight them to the death: "They might not have any objections to the other conditions, but I feel that the second condition..."

The second condition proposed by Konoha almost completely relinquished the autonomy of both villages, leaving even the village's leader unable to make a decision!

"Isn't the second condition too lenient?"

Kagura Akihara glanced at the ceasefire agreement, then slowly nodded and said, "Could we change the second clause? Isn't Lady Tsunade the Fifth Hokage?"

"Since both Kirigakure and Sunagakure have reached their fifth generation, could we change the arrangement so that Lady Tsunade can concurrently serve as both the Fifth Mizukage and the Fifth Kazekage?"

First update!

I was a little slow today!

I'm trying my best to catch up on the schedule!
