"His physical health has recovered, but his mental state remains poor." Jue looked at An with a strange gaze, clearly guessing that An was about to do something bad, but he didn't try to stop him.
Obito with the "Caged Bird" curse mark on him is easier to control.
"Obito has been wanting me to help him find Rin Nohara and rescue her."
"But I've been stalling him."
"When do you plan to inscribe the 'Caged Bird' seal on him?"
"No rush. After I finish dealing with the Five Kage Summit, then it'll be my turn to play around with him again, hehe————"
An Yi couldn't help but feel overjoyed when she thought about what she would be doing next, and she laughed so hard that her little tongue was sticking out.
"Fine, do whatever you want." Zetsu shrugged and sank towards the ground. "The Five Kage Summit will still be held in the Land of Iron, presided over by the samurai leader Mifune."
"Is it the Land of Iron again?" Ann's eyes turned cold.
"Hmph, this so-called neutral country really knows how to meddle in other people's business, always wanting to get involved in everything."
"Those who meddle in other people's business don't live long!"
Seeing An's very displeased expression, Bai Jue said with a grin, "There's actually more to this than meets the eye."
"It's not that the people of the Land of Iron are meddling, but rather that the Daimyo of the Land of Fire initiated the peace talks."
"I can assure you that you will find those treaties very interesting if you read them."
"Hmm? What content?"
White Zetsu took out a scroll, unfolded it, and pulled out a bunch of treaty copies.
"You managed to get your hands on this?"
"The defenses of the Daimyo's mansion are far inferior to those of the ninja villages; it's very easy to defend them."
An glanced at it briefly and then burst into laughter.
"Ha ha----"
"Very good!"
"This agreement is absolutely fantastic!"
"I can't wait to see Itachi's face when he finds out!"
The Land of Iron, the meeting place of the Five Kage Summit.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, dressed in a shadow robe and with a pipe dangling from his mouth, sat at a round table, flanked by Jiraiya and Itachi Uchiha.
At the round table, the other four Kage were also seated. Even Rasa, who had been captured earlier, was released and sat in the Kazekage's seat, with two unfamiliar ninjas protecting him behind him.
Raikage sat there with his arms crossed, looking very unhappy with a gloomy face.
According to his thinking, what's the point of negotiating?
The Hidden Cloud Village is full of warmongers. It's a rare opportunity to take advantage of the Hidden Leaf Village's weakness and wipe it out. Then, the entire Land of Fire can be plundered however it wants.
After we've finished digesting the Land of Fire, Onoki will be nearing the end of his life. Then we'll launch another war, destroy the Land of Earth, and avenge my father.
No one in the Kingdom of Liang could withstand it.
However, since the daimyo insisted on peace talks, he had no choice but to reluctantly come over.
As the host of the neutral nation, Mifune sat in the center, looked around, and then solemnly said: "Since the outbreak of the Fourth War, the past few years have been filled with war and chaos. The national strength of all countries has been greatly damaged, and the people have suffered greatly from the war. They are eagerly looking forward to the arrival of peace."
"At the suggestion of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, the Daimyo of the various countries discussed and reached a consensus, and hereby reached an agreement, the five countries signed a peace treaty, and completely ended the war."
"This meeting is about discussing the specific terms of the agreement. I have a draft treaty here. If any member has any objections to the content of the agreement, please feel free to raise them, and we can discuss them further."
After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and his subordinates presented the treaties on trays to the five Kage present.
Judging from the names of the treaties alone, they are the "Konoha Cloud Village Treaty," the "Konoha Rock Village Treaty," and the "Konoha Mist Village Treaty."
And the Konoha Sand Village Treaty.
The Raikage frowned after reading it.
"Why are there so many parts? Are the agreements different for each ninja village?"
As he spoke, he grabbed the "Konoha and Kumogakure Treaty" in front of him, unfolded it, and immediately beamed with joy.
"Haha, we in Kumogakure have no objection to such a treaty, but we don't know if Konoha will agree."
After reading their own treaty, Onoki and Yagura's brows relaxed, clearly showing their satisfaction.
Only Luo Sha's complexion was rather unpleasant, but he did not raise any objections, which was obviously acceptable.
Only Hiruzen Sarutobi sat there, puffing on his cigarette, without even reaching for the treaties to look at.
"Heh, it seems the Hokage is definitely not satisfied with the terms of the treaty?" Onoki said sarcastically.
"No, I have no objection," Hiruzen Sarutobi said expressionlessly.
"Huh?" The other shadows were shocked. Clearly, the terms of these agreements were extremely harsh. Only a fool would agree to sign them!
Could it be that Hiruzen Sarutobi has made up his mind to cheat?
Jiraiya was also puzzled by his teacher's behavior. Seeing the Third Hokage take his pipe off the table, place it on the table, and reach for a pen to sign the agreement, Jiraiya hurriedly reached out and grabbed the agreement first.
He glanced at it and flew into a rage, slamming the agreement on the table and shouting, "This is impossible!"
"Lord Mifune, how did you draft this agreement?"
"This is so unfair!"
"Konoha will absolutely not sign this agreement!"
Itachi was startled and quickly reached for a copy of the agreement to look at it. He saw that it was covered with a large number of clauses.
In short, it boils down to four words: ceding territory and paying reparations!
He hurriedly put down the treaty and picked up another one, only to find that the contents were almost identical, with the only difference being the amount of land and reparations.
Itachi was also very anxious at that moment, threw down the agreement, and began to plead with them.
"Lord Hokage, we can't sign this agreement!"
"If we sign, we'll be sinners against Konoha!"
"That's right, teacher! Even if all the ninjas in our village die in battle, we absolutely cannot sign such a humiliating and unequal agreement!"
Seeing Jiraiya and Itachi's excitement, Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and said in a low voice, "This agreement was not drafted by the people of the Land of Iron, but by the five daimyo."
"Only when the five daimyo reach a consensus can the four great ninja villages be forced to agree to cease hostilities and sign a peace treaty."
"The real peace talks were already completed between the daimyo. The contents of the agreement have been finalized and there is no room for change. My only responsibility is to sign it."
"What?!" Everyone was shocked, including people from the other four countries.
