Naruto Under the Bamboo Forest

Chapter 110: Truce with Kirigakure

In the central meeting camp.

Nara Shikaku closed his eyes slightly, as if he was concentrating on thinking about something. No one disturbed him, and everyone knew that the military advisor of Konoha was thinking about the next action. Although Nara Shikaku was not the Hokage responsible for making decisions, no one could ignore his opinions.

On the other side, Yamanaka Inoichi held a pen between his fingers and kept tapping on the map on the table. He didn't know what he was thinking. The map was full of various symbols, and various paper documents were piled up next to it. This was the battle plan that he and Nara Shikaku and others had rushed out overnight.

Originally, they were going to rely on this plan to completely defeat the Hidden Mist Village and completely drive the Hidden Mist Village out of the Land of Fire. But now that the Hidden Mist Village has issued a request for a ceasefire, this battle plan is no longer useful.

Orochimaru, who was sitting next to Minato Namikaze, folded his hands, rested his chin, and looked at the map on the table without saying a word.

"Do you think so, Hokage?"

After a long time, Nara Shikaku opened his eyes, looked up at Minato Namikaze and asked softly.

As soon as Nara Shikaku asked, everyone in the meeting room, including Orochimaru and Yamanaka Inoichi, turned their eyes to Minato Namikaze who was at the top.

Everyone was waiting for him to speak. As the fourth generation Hokage, Minato Namikaze's words could decide whether to fight or make peace.

"Mr. Shikaku, what do you think?"

Feeling the expectant eyes of everyone, Minato Namikaze thought for a while and asked back.

"We have no reason to refuse"

Seeing Minato kick the ball back to him, Nara Shikaku was not surprised, and then said softly.

Indeed, facing the request for a ceasefire from the Hidden Mist Village, he could not find a reason to refuse.

Previously, Minato Namikaze personally led several small battles, and these battles ended with the victory of the Konoha side. It was these victories that boosted the morale of the Konoha side, so that everyone was ready to defeat the Hidden Mist Village in one go.

The Kirigakure side first lost a large number of bloodline ninjas in the previous battle, and then suffered several defeats in succession. It can be said that the combat power was seriously damaged, and the overall morale now seems to be relatively low.

In addition, in the eastern part of the Land of Fire, the Konoha side has an absolute combat power advantage over the Kirigakure side. The Kirigakure side judged the situation and considered the interests of the village. It is reasonable to ask for a ceasefire at this moment.

Konoha also suffered a lot of losses in the previous battles with several other ninja villages. Now the Konoha Village only wants to drive out all the Kirigakure ninjas entrenched in the eastern part of the Land of Fire. As for continuing to attack the Kirigakure Village, the current Konoha Village has neither the will nor the strength.

The Kirigakure Village should have seen the current situation of Konoha. They can't win if they want to fight them. If they negotiate, they can also withdraw their troops in exchange for some favorable terms.

This peace talk is in the interests of both Konoha Village and Kirigakure Village. Therefore, Nara Shikaku thinks that the Kirigakure Village's peace request is fine and can be agreed to. This war has been going on for too long, now is the time to end it.

"What do you think?"

After hearing Nara Shikaku's answer, Namikaze Minato immediately asked for the opinions of other people present. Namikaze Minato is not a dictatorial person, and he has always attached great importance to the opinions of other people in the village.

"I have no opinion!"

Yamanaka Kaiichi was the first to raise his hand to agree with Nara Shikaku's opinion. Like Shikaku, he felt that it was time to end this long war and not let the future of the village be buried in this meaningless battle.

"I agree!"

"I agree too!"

""

Most of the people present felt that they could agree to the request for peace talks from Kirigakure. This war has been dragging on for so long, and they are all tired.

Most of the people present expressed their opinions, but Orochimaru said nothing, and squinted his snake eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

"In that case! Then agree to them!"

Seeing that everyone expressed their opinions, Minato officially made the decision that Konoha would conduct peace talks with Kirigakure.

"Shashasha-----"

The raindrops gently hit the leaves, and in the misty rain, a group of Konoha ninjas set out on the road back to the village.

"I finally agreed to them!"

Standing under the tree to avoid the rain, Liu Yu looked at the Konoha ninjas who were constantly going away and whispered to himself.

Two days ago, the fourth generation Hokage Minato Namikaze officially decided that Konoha Village and Kirigakure Village would start peace talks. As soon as this news came out, the Konoha ninjas in the camp were boiling again. After all, this time, the war is really going to end.

However, negotiations between countries will not be so simple. The two sides have only preliminarily determined the intention of peace talks and stopped hostile acts in the contact zone between the two sides. As for the formal peace talks and the signing of the peace agreement, it is necessary to wait for Kirigakure Village to send a formal envoy team to Konoha.

But this is enough. In order to show sincerity, some ninjas from Kirigakure Village have begun to retreat. And in order to respond to the sincerity of Kirigakure Village, Konoha also sent some ninjas back to the village.

Everything is moving in a good direction. It seems that this time, Kirigakure really wants to stop the war.

Everyone showed joy that the war is about to end, only Liu Yu looked more worried. As the peace talks between Kirigakure and Konoha continued to make progress, Liu Yu's uneasiness became stronger.

The decision-makers of Konoha agreed to Kirigakure's request for a ceasefire. In fact, this did not surprise Liu Yu. After all, Konoha had no reason to reject Kirigakure. Under the current circumstances, if peace talks could be used to resolve the issue, the war would definitely not continue. Although he was reluctant to accept it, it finally came.

Although Nara Shikaku has a very high IQ, when he thinks about these problems, he always thinks about Kirigakure as a normal ninja village.

As a qualified military strategist, on these issues, Shikaku follows the usual practice of thinking about countermeasures based on interests. If Kirigakure was not secretly controlled by Uchiha Madara, then Nara Shikaku's suggestion would be correct and feasible.

But the problem now is that Kirigakure will not take the usual path at all. Just based on Uchiha Madara's hatred for Kirigakure, Kirigakure will not easily compromise with Konoha.

Moreover, Uchiha Madara has not yet let Obito fall into darkness. No matter how Liu Yu looks at it, she can't find a reason for Kirigakure to cease fire.

Although she is very anxious about what happened, Liu Yu doesn't know how to change it. My reasons are not reasons at all, they are all my own inferences. And the basis of my inferences is also extremely absurd to others.

"I hope nothing unexpected happens!"

In the end, Liu Yu could only pray like this.
