Reincarnated as Naruto, Garp template

"See you on the battlefield, Pineapple Head, Cataracts, let's go."

Kazan led the way and left.

Nara Shikaku and Hyuga Hizashi followed him without saying a word.

"This... please wait a moment!"

Tu Tai was dumbfounded. Was this young man really this decisive?

Negotiations always involve a lot of talking, but nobody does it like you!

"Don't push your luck, Cloud Ninja. I'd rather meet you on the battlefield than at the negotiating table."

"These are Konoha's final conditions. If you can't do them, I'll lead my men to the Land of Lightning tomorrow. I keep my word."

This is an obvious threat.

Tutai even felt that Kazan was bluffing and might not actually want to start a war.

They've had plenty of dealings with Konoha and Kumogakure over the years, and they know that Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, definitely doesn't want to fight.

But the Leaf Village Demon God before us might be different!

The people of Konoha believe that Kazan possesses the all-encompassing spirit of the First Hokage.

In the eyes of the Cloud Ninja, the Konoha genius before him was more like the former Asura of the Ninja World, Uchiha Madara.

He was too domineering, and his fists were hard enough.

"Please give us a little more time to think."

Tsuchitai backed down, genuinely afraid that Kazan would fly through the air to the Land of Lightning and punch them.

"You only have one day. If you disagree, then we'll meet on the battlefield."

Kazan led his men out of the conference room.

Nara Shikaku and Hyuga Hizashi were secretly pleased; they were probably the only ones to have managed to push the Cloud Ninja to this point.

"Lord Tsuchitai, what should we do?"

“Let’s go. He doesn’t seem to be lying. We only have one day left.”

Tsuchita sighed inwardly, but he had already made up his mind to agree to Konoha's conditions.

Otherwise, he was certain that if he didn't sign the agreement today, Konoha's army would be pressing in the next day.

Will they agree?

"If you disagree, call them. I'll talk to the old man from the third generation."

"Ok."

Nara Shikaku and Hyuga Hizashi both nodded.

They all thought that Yunren would most likely agree, because they had no other choice.

As expected, Tu Tai arrived at the door with the agreement in the evening.

"We agree to Konoha's conditions: an immediate ceasefire and a vow never to invade again."

The last sentence can be ignored; when war comes, promises are the least valuable thing.

However, after the Third Shinobi World War, the major shinobi villages will enjoy a period of peace.

From the birth of Sasuke and Naruto to the Fourth Shinobi World War, there were more than a decade in between, enough time for the major ninja villages to recover to their peak strength.

Except for the Sand Ninja.

Their shadows will likely be killed by Orochimaru's scheme, just as expected.

This ninja village is really unlucky. The two generations of Kage didn't die on the battlefield, but at the hands of rogue ninjas. It's too shameful.

And Gaara...

What an unlucky guy.

Chapter 122 Conversation

The negotiations are complete.

That same day, Kazan, along with Nara Shikaku and his group, returned from the Land of Iron via the same route.

They were attacked again shortly after leaving the Land of Iron.

"Lord Kazan!"

Hyuga Hizashi immediately detected the attack with his Byakugan and sped up to get in front of Kazan.

As you can see, countless shuriken and senbon needles are shooting in from all directions, carrying a chilling killing intent.

"Return to Heaven!"

He roared and spun around like a top, knocking away most of the hidden weapons.

Unfortunately, there were too many shuriken, densely packed like a black rainstorm.

Nara Shikaku was very clever and jumped away from Kazan immediately.

"Zi La~"

Kazan stood still, his domineering aura surging, dark red lightning bursting forth, blocking all the incoming shuriken and freezing them in mid-air.

He reached out, grabbed one of them, and flicked the shuriken away with a flick of his wrist.

"puff!"

"Uh~"

A scream, accompanied by a flash of blood, rang out from afar.

"Take good care of yourself."

Kazan left those words behind and vanished from the spot in an instant.

By the time Nara Shikaku reacted, the shuriken that had been frozen in mid-air fell limply to the ground.

Then, with a loud "boom," a violent shockwave came from afar, and it exploded instantly.

Nara Shikaku and his companion didn't have to wait long before they saw several corpses fly over from a distance and land in front of them.

Hyuga Hizashi swallowed hard, his Byakugan allowing him to see further and more clearly.

Kazan killed most of the attackers with a single punch, and the few remaining were the result of him holding back.

They asked a few simple questions, and only after failing to get the answers they wanted did they take action and kill him.

"Oh!"

Kazan descended from the sky and landed.

"Ninjas from the Cloud Ninja Village?"

Nara Shikaku looked at the headbands on the foreheads of the attackers.

"The agreement was just signed, what are they planning to do?" Hyuga Hizashi frowned deeply.

"It might not be the Cloud Ninja; it's more likely that other villages are framing them. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of black market bounty hunters."

Nara Shikaku pulled off the other person's headband and took a look.

Such a petty trick is somewhat insulting to his intelligence.

"Who could it be? An Iwa ninja or a Suna ninja?"

"It's possible; they both have sufficient reasons to take action."

Nara Shikaku tossed his headband aside.

Both of these ninja villages are currently fighting against the Cloud Ninja, and they are the ones who least want to see the negotiations between Konoha and the Cloud Ninja successfully completed.

"The ones who should be more careful than us are the people at Tutai; they've probably been attacked as well."

Should we go help?

Hyuga Hizashi spoke up, worried that the hard-won negotiations would fall through.

"Whether they live or die is none of our business. Even if we take action, the Cloud Ninja will hold the Iwa Ninja and Suna Ninja responsible."

"Whether it was done by the Sand Village or the Rock Village, they're just trying to sow seeds of doubt in us. Ignore them and go back."

Kazan told them to burn the bodies, then got up and left.

Leaving a corpse like this makes it easy for bacteria to grow!

The two agreed that this made sense and followed Kazan back.

........

A few days later.

The group returned to the camp, travel-worn, and immediately reported back to Jiraiya.

"Is everything going smoothly?"

"Well, it took some time, but it went relatively smoothly."

Kazan handed the signed agreement to Jiraiya and told him about the attack they encountered on their return journey.

The latter took it and opened it; the agreement on it was more generous than he had expected.

"It's not easy to make those Cloud Ninja suffer such a big loss."

"As for the people who attacked you, it should be just as you guessed. It wasn't the Cloud Ninja who made the move; the Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja were more likely to be involved."

He smiled and ignored the attacker for the time being. He carefully put the agreement away, intending to return it to the village later.

"You've had a hard time on this trip, go back and get some rest."

"By the way, Kazan, go to the Uchiha area. They should be waiting for you."

Oh?

Judging from Jiraiya's expression, he seems to have completed his Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Kazan couldn't wait to leave the camp and find Uchiha Fugaku.
