Naruto: Evil is easy to commit, making Amegakure great again.

"You've probably heard our discussion..."

Jiang Ming and Xiao Nan exchanged a glance and, without thinking, straightened their chairs.

His eyes were fixed on the envoy from Kumogakure.

The other person was so frightened that they involuntarily shivered.

An invisible sense of oppression silently pressed down on Jiang Ming's heart under his gaze.

"Is there anything else you'd like to add, envoy from Kumogakure?"

"No...that's all..."

Replenish?

Where did he get the audacity to rashly supplement the contents of the agreement without the Third Raikage's authorization?

This is practically the same as roasting him over a fire.

"In that case, you should go back to where you came from."

Jiang Ming took the document from Xiao Nan behind him and tossed it to the Cloud Village envoy standing opposite him without hesitation.

It was as if they were shooing away a stray dog ​​on the roadside, signaling him to leave quickly.

"This...I...you..."

Before the mission was completed, Jiang Ming, the second-generation leader of the Rain Kingdom, sent them back...

He hadn't experienced such a nonchalant attitude in a long time.

This really hurt his self-esteem.

His face was filled with embarrassment and shame.

"Lord Jiang Ming has already given the order. I advise you to obey and leave here immediately."

Just then, Kakuzu, who had been engrossed in fiddling with the abacus and constantly calculating the accounts of the Sunagakure village's treasury, suddenly spoke up.

The tone was calm, as if it were issuing a final ultimatum to the other party.

As a mercenary, he has the duty to protect Jiang Ming and carry out his orders.

On this basis, it goes without saying that Jiang Ming spent a lot of money to hire him and was even willing to sell him the heart of the Third Kazekage for a reasonable price of "5000 million taels".

To say that Kakuzu doesn't appreciate such kindness is simply making baseless accusations.

Therefore, he plans to do his best to serve his employer, Jiang Ming, during the remainder of his employment.

Try to make the other party feel that they are getting more than their money's worth.

This led to him spending a large sum of money to extend his "employment contract" indefinitely.

These days, it's really hard to find a wealthy patron like Jiang Ming who's both easy to talk to and knows what's good for him...

"hiss--!"

Upon hearing this, the envoy from Kumogakure was clearly frightened by Kakuzu's remarks and the indifferent gazes of Jiang Ming and his group.

Without the slightest hesitation, he nodded and bowed to Jiang Ming, thanking him repeatedly.

Without saying a word, he turned around and rushed out of the office.

I dare not stay here any longer because my dignity has been compromised.

He adopted the demeanor of a "great power envoy" and mocked Jiang Ming for his lack of manners.

Since ancient times, the entire ninja world has had a tradition of "not killing envoys when two countries are at war".

However, this "tradition" doesn't seem to work quite well in the Rain Kingdom, led by Jiang Ming...

......

"Konoha wants to make peace with us?"

Land of Earth, Hidden Stone Village, Tsuchikage's Office.

Onoki, the third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure at the time, frowned deeply.

Looking at the documents on his desk, his expression was priceless.

I have absolutely no idea what Konoha is thinking.

They actually wanted to make peace with Iwagakure while the Second Shinobi World War was raging...

This is as absurd as the villagers of Iwagakure, who only sleep three hours a day, taking a walk and mistaking a tortoise resting by the roadside for a dog.

Even Onoki, who had always thought that Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of Konoha, was a remarkable figure, couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a cold smile.

I have a feeling that the title of "Hero of Endurance" on the other person is somewhat undeserved...

"Ninja Xiong? I think it's more like Ninja Kuma!"

In peacetime, no matter how outspoken Onoki was, he would never have mocked Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Kage of a village, in such a way.

But right now, Iwagakure is at war with Konoha.

In this way, he can naturally insult, ridicule, and belittle them to the extreme.

It is used to boost the morale of one's own side.

"Father, what do you think of this...?"

"Use your job title when you're at work!"

"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage!"

Onoki looked at his son, Koto, who was still not quite composed.

His gaze fell on the desk, on the document that had been specially delivered by the other party: the "Fire-Earth Truce Agreement."

His eyes were full of disdain and mockery.

"In Konoha, things are still as magnificent as they were when Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha ruled together..."

Right now, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Kage of the village, has even come up with the idea of ​​a "ceasefire"...

If the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha could know this from beyond the grave, they would probably want to flip open their coffins and come out to give Hiruzen Sarutobi a good beating.

It can only be said that Konoha is no longer the prosperous place it once was.

It's starting to show signs of decline.

This is a good thing for Iwagakure to some extent.

"I estimate that it is related to the unusual behavior of the Land of Lightning recently and the amazing feats of Jiang Ming, the second-generation leader of the Land of Rain."

At this moment, the yellow earth standing opposite Onoki slowly spoke.

This provided Ohnoki, the father figure, with a good solution to the problem.

"You're absolutely right, loess."

The fact that Konoha suddenly presented Iwagakure with a "ceasefire agreement" was somewhat suspicious.

However, if we combine this matter with the recent earth-shattering changes in the ninja world, as well as the fact that the Land of Lightning intends to form an alliance with the Land of Rain, it becomes clear that...

That's not surprising...

"The reason Konoha chose to cease hostilities with Iwagakure at this juncture is undoubtedly because they realized that Jiang Ming, the second leader of the Land of Rain, bears a striking resemblance to the legendary ninja demon Uchiha Madara, possesses the strength to sweep across an entire major ninja nation, and is very likely to form an alliance with the Land of Lightning!"

An opponent who closely resembles Madara Uchiha, the Asura of the Ninja World, is already terrifying enough.

Furthermore, the other party is also the leader of a nation, and there is a suspicion that he might ally with the barbarians of the Thunder Kingdom at any time...

This made it impossible for Onoki not to be nervous.

It's no wonder that Konoha would try to make peace with Iwagakure at this time.

If he were in Hiruzen Sarutobi's shoes, he would probably do something similar after hearing this news.

He took the initiative to write letters and draft agreements to convey his desire for a "ceasefire" to Konoha.

To avoid facing the threat and pressure of fighting on two fronts simultaneously in the upcoming war.

That would be an extremely dangerous and unfavorable situation for the entire Land of Earth.

"So...should we agree to their request?"

Huang Tu stared intently at his father, Onoki.

It was as if he would immediately go and carry out the order as soon as the other party gave it.

Without even blinking.

"What's the rush?"

In response, Onoki put his hands behind his back and jumped off his office chair without thinking.

"Since Konoha has requested a ceasefire from us at this point in time, it means that our Iwagakure village may benefit from it."

When Onoki said this, his entire figure was completely blocked by the desk in front of him.

Even Huang Tu, who is a full 2.17 meters tall, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

I looked down at Onoki, who was talking boastfully behind his desk, from an almost overhead angle.

A subtle expression flickered across his face, as if he wanted to laugh but dared not.
