Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 490 The Humiliating Ceasefire Agreement

However, even with the Eight-Tails' chakra, Killer Bee's Earth Release: Rock Clone kick still rendered him unable to fight.

"Release Lord Raikage!"

"Let go of the boss!"

When the Cloud Village ninjas around saw the Fourth Raikage being grabbed by the neck by the Earth Release clone - Ishii, they all screamed, but dared not make a move, fearing that the Earth Release clone - Ishii would kill their Fourth Raikage.

Earth Release clone - Ishii grabbed the Fourth Raikage and flew into the air, looking down at the group of Cloud Villagers below.

"You...have you been playing us all along?"

The Fourth Raikage, looking at his Earth Release clone, Ishii, who now appeared relaxed, finally began to understand something amidst his anger.

"Or what?" Earth Release clone - Ishii asked with a smile.

"..." The Fourth Tsuchikage remained silent for a few seconds, then asked, "What do you want to do?"

The Fourth Raikage has calmed down now; the Fourth Tsuchikage isn't here to attack their Hidden Cloud Village.

Otherwise, with his absolute strength, killing himself and Bitu would have been easy, and he could have even destroyed the entire village by himself.

The Fourth Tsuchikage, who possesses power from a completely different dimension than them, never intended to kill him from the beginning; he must have had other motives.

"I'm here to sign a ceasefire agreement with your Cloud Village!"

As he spoke, his Earth Release clone, Ishii, threw down the Fourth Raikage and simultaneously tossed a draft ceasefire agreement onto the ground.

The Fourth Raikage landed from the sky, holding the ceasefire agreement in his hand.

"armistice?"

"You killed so many of us and you only now say you're here to make peace?"

Earth Release Clone - Ishii's ceasefire agreement was clearly not accepted by the Cloud Village ninjas. After all, many of their close comrades had just died before their eyes, and their hearts were filled with hatred and anger. How could they possibly accept a ceasefire?

Facing the enraged group of Sasuke's ninjas, Earth Release clone - Ishii remained unmoved, only looking at the Fourth Raikage.

"stop!"

"Stop!"

Just as the Cloud Village ninjas were about to continue attacking the Earth Release clone, Ishii, in mid-air, the Fourth Raikage's booming voice echoed throughout the entire battlefield.

The group of Cloud Village ninja who were about to attack instinctively stopped.

The Fourth Raikage still enjoys high prestige in the village.

Earth Release clone - Ishii smiled, knowing that the Fourth Raikage had already submitted.

Killer Bee struggled to stand beside the Fourth Raikage, his older brother. He supported the ceasefire because he knew that if they continued fighting, even if they all died, the Fourth Tsuchikage's chakra would not run out.

According to the Eight-Tails' chakra perception, the Fourth Tsuchikage's chakra was still plentiful, showing no signs of depletion.

Although I don't know why.

However, there is no doubt that the Fourth Tsuchikage has enough chakra to kill 1,300 people, and the exact amount of chakra is unknown. Kumogakure cannot continue to test this with human lives.

Since the Fourth Tsuchikage is not prepared to fight them to the bitter end, it is best to stop for now. Until a way to stop the Fourth Tsuchikage is found, a ceasefire is the best outcome.

Earth Release clone - Ishii looked down at the Fourth Raikage and laughed, "This is why I took the brunt of the Tailed Beast Ball explosion and killed over a thousand of you. If I don't make you realize the difference between us, how can you possibly agree to a peaceful ceasefire with Iwagakure?"

"you……"

"Don't be so defiant." Earth Release clone - Ishii looked at the still unconvinced Cloud Village ninja and said coldly, "I can go to your village right now and have another big battle, but I won't hold back then, and it won't be just this many people who die."

"You..." The man wanted to say something more, but was held back tightly by his companion behind him.

After a short truce, most people snapped out of the fighting atmosphere, regained their composure, and realized the difference in strength between the two sides.

It's so close to the village; if we really fight in the village, even more people will die.

A ceasefire now is the best course of action; we can discuss anything else later.

"Okay, I agree!"

The Fourth Raikage, who had been silent all along, finally spoke. He actually wanted to kill the Earth Release clone, Ishii, but for the sake of the village, he had to accept this humiliation.

"That's fine then!"

Earth Release Clone - Shi Yan smiled, then turned and flew away.

"You're leaving already?"

Earth Release clone - Ishii walked away with a carefree air, leaving the Fourth Raikage completely caught off guard, not understanding the meaning behind Ishii's actions.

The ceasefire agreement definitely needed to be signed and sealed, and two copies were required. Finally, it had to be submitted to the Daming Prefecture for further signature before it would officially take effect.

As a result, the Earth Release clone, Ishii, simply left behind a ceasefire agreement and walked away.

Is this guy genuinely here for a ceasefire, or is he just messing with them?

But with this guy's strength, there's no need for him to play games with them like this!

Not only was the Fourth Raikage puzzled, but the Cloud Village ninja were also confused. Many even prepared for battle again, thinking that the ceasefire mentioned by the Earth Release clone, Ishii, was just a prank on them.

"As for the so-called ceasefire agreement, it's enough that you, Fourth Raikage, agree to it. Whether you sign it or not is irrelevant; the main thing is to see how things go."

"Anyway, Iwagakure has already withdrawn from all the major battlefields and returned to its homeland. If you continue to invade the Land of Earth without stopping the war, then I will just come to Kumogakure again."

"I just hope that by the time I come next time, you'll have the power to stop me, otherwise... heh!"

The Earth Release clone, Ishii, didn't say the rest, but the meaning was clear: if you're not afraid to die, then continue the fight.

This demonstrates extreme confidence in one's own abilities.

After leaving behind some words, the Earth Release clone, Shi Yan, disappeared into the sky.

The group of Cloud Village ninja below remained standing still, their eyes fixed on the direction where the Earth Release clone, Stone Rock, had disappeared.

The Fourth Raikage gripped the ceasefire agreement tightly in his hand. A burst of lightning arcs from his lightning chakra flashed, and the ceasefire agreement in his hand turned to ashes and disappeared.

"Notify the front lines that the battle with Iwagakure is over. Withdraw all personnel."

After leaving an order, the Fourth Raikage turned and left. The others remained silent for a while before returning to the village.

This scene was humiliating, yet incredibly real.

On the way back, the Fourth Raikage felt as if his heart was being squeezed, his face turned red, and he looked extremely unwell.

"Big brother..." Killer Bee looked at his older brother with some worry.

"Beetle, remember this humiliation. Next time, you must get your revenge." The Fourth Raikage patted Killer Bee on the head and said with a gloomy expression.

The ceasefire agreement reached by the Fourth Tsuchikage was less a ceasefire and more a result of the Fourth Tsuchikage defeating their Hidden Cloud Village, forcing them to cease hostilities.

What ceasefire agreement?

Absolutely not!

The Fourth Tsuchikage's meaning was clear: he wanted to make them understand with overwhelming power that if they didn't stop fighting, they would die.

Those who didn't want to die had no choice but to accept the ceasefire agreement that the Fourth Raikage had abandoned after killing more than a thousand of them.

This complete disregard for Kumogakure is even more humiliating than when Hashirama Senju single-handedly subdued the entire ninja world, forcing the Five Kage Summit to distribute the Tailed Beasts and establish a peace for Konoha.

However, there was nothing they could do. The Fourth Tsuchikage's strength completely overwhelmed them. Even if the God of Shinobi were to be reborn, he would be powerless against the Fourth Tsuchikage.

If they lack the strength, they have no choice but to accept it.

But they won't stay that way forever. One day, they will reach the level of the Fourth Tsuchikage, or even surpass him.

When the time comes, Yunyin will repay today's humiliation a hundredfold.
