Chapter 174: Post-war negotiations between the three major ninja villages

Mei Terumi didn't talk nonsense. If it weren't for being in Shengzai's so-called domain barrier technique, in a one-on-one situation, even if the Second Hokage only had part of his prime strength, she wouldn't have much chance of winning.

In that domain, because there was nothing else around, only almost endless seawater, the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique had no place to use.

Besides that, in that environment, Mei Terumi also found that her Water Style ninjutsu had become much stronger than usual.

Although Shengzai told her to fight alone, in fact, he would still secretly control the seawater in that area to help her cover and assist.

And because it was a closed space, the two Bloodline Limits she mastered, "Lava Style" and "Boil Style," also exerted their greatest effects.

The space of the simple domain was limited. Mei Terumi spent a certain amount of time filling the domain completely with her acid mist. Unless the Second Hokage could break the space, there was simply no way to escape.

Acid mist cannot be dissolved in water. If the Second Hokage wanted to avoid the corrosion of the acid mist, he either had to jump into the water or had to endure the influence of the acid mist all the time.

However, in this so-called "Four Water Sanctuary," Shengzai had absolute control over the water domain in the domain. Entering the water by himself was undoubtedly a dead end.

The Second Hokage also judged this point, so he could only constantly condense chakra to attach to his body surface to resist Mei Terumi's acid mist.

It is true that reanimated ninjas possess infinite blue, but the total amount of chakra of the ninja himself remains unchanged.

Tobirama Senju used the extra chakra for defense, so the part that could be used for battle naturally became less.

So it was also because of this reason that when the concentration of acid mist in the air in the domain reached a certain limit, Tobirama Senju was still hard-lived and exhausted by his water clone and Mei Terumi.

Accompanied by the reanimated First and Second Hokage being sealed one after another, this Konoha Crush plan finally came to an end.

In general, the Hidden Leaf Village won, but it was a quite miserable victory.

Not to mention the many ninjas and ordinary people who were affected and died, because they were not famous people, so they were not even mentioned. After all, in the ninja world, dead people are already the norm, but the specific casualties are currently still being counted.

The most serious thing is that in this attack incident, the Third Hokage, who was the pillar of the village, also unfortunately passed away this time.

The former Hidden Leaf Village was so powerful. Even if they fought against multiple ninja villages in the Ninja World War for many years, they won every battle.

But this time, they were not only beaten to their home, but even the Kage who protected the village died because of this, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Of course, it is not only the Hidden Leaf that is miserable. After all, although they suffered huge losses this time, they are at least the winners.

As the loser, the Hidden Sand Village is the one that really lost everything.

Originally, they joined forces with Orochimaru's Sound Village, intending to make a big profit in the Hidden Leaf, but now they didn't get anything. Not only did a Kazekage die, but after the war, they probably have to compensate the Hidden Leaf for a large amount of losses!

Hidden Leaf Village, Hokage Office.

Since the Konoha Crush plan, three days have passed. During this period, the entire Hidden Leaf Village has fallen into a quite depressed state because of the Third Hokage's death.

The Kage who supported a ninja village died, but the village cannot stop operating because of this.

Because a pile of post-war messes has not been dealt with, the Third Hokage's funeral can only be postponed temporarily. What must be dealt with urgently now are the post-war matters of several ninja villages.

The Third Hokage died, and the Hidden Leaf Village temporarily had no one in charge, so the two old actors of the elder group, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, were pulled out again.

Originally, as a member of the elder group, Danzo was also qualified to attend this meeting.

But Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado both saw Danzo's shadow in this incident, so the two, who were extremely annoyed, cooperated to boycott Danzo for a rare time.

Now on the long table in the Hokage office, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane sit in the first place, with Kakashi and other Hidden Leaf Jonin standing behind them.

And the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, sits on the left hand, with Shengzai standing behind her, looking indifferent.

Sitting opposite Mei Terumi is the representative of the Hidden Sand Village, a Hidden Sand Jonin named Baki. After all, in this chaos, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa was also killed.

Although there are three ninja villages present, there is only one Kage, Mei Terumi, and the atmosphere is quite awkward.

However, the people from the other two ninja villages are representing their own ninja villages, so they are qualified to sit at a table with her, the Mizukage.

Regarding the transaction between the Third Hokage and Mei Terumi before, the Hidden Leaf side did not intend to renege on the debt, although Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado felt that handing over the forbidden technique developed by Tobirama-sensei to other ninja villages was something they could not accept.

But after listening to Kakashi say that this was the last words of his old friend Hiruzen Sarutobi, the two did not oppose it again.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado are a bit pedantic, but they are not stupid. They naturally understand the reason why Hiruzen did this, so in this post-war meeting, the negotiation with the Hidden Mist Village can be said to be quite smooth.

However, in the negotiation with the Hidden Sand Village, the Hidden Leaf and the Hidden Sand directly quarreled.

But this is not strange. After all, the Hidden Mist Village was just a passerby involved in this, while the Hidden Leaf and the Hidden Sand fought this battle, and both sides had quite a few people die in each other's hands.

But it is still that sentence: dead people are not strange in the ninja world, the point is the interest relationship.

When talking about the post-war compensation problem, the Hidden Leaf and the Hidden Sand broke out a big disagreement. As a defeated ninja village, they need to compensate, which is reasonable, but the Hidden Sand Village could not accept the amount proposed by the Hidden Leaf.

"The Hidden Leaf's compensation plan, please forgive our Hidden Sand for not being able to accept it. How many ninjas did your Hidden Leaf die? Our Hidden Sand died more."

"And the buildings destroyed in your village were mostly caused by your own First Hokage and the Hidden Mist ninjas over there. Why should our Hidden Sand compensate for the losses!"

Facing the compensation amount proposed by Koharu Utatane and the others, Baki immediately patted the table and stood up, because the amount above was too outrageous. If their Hidden Sand Village had this money, would they still need to come to rob the Hidden Leaf this time?

"Our village even had the Third Hokage die this time. Do you think it is excessive to let you compensate for this loss?"

Regarding the interests of the village, Koharu Utatane was also unyielding like a heroine among women.

"The Third Hokage was killed by Orochimaru. What does it have to do with our Hidden Sand? Our Fourth Kazekage was also killed."

"Our Hidden Sand Village is also a victim this time. If you want compensation, you should go to Orochimaru. What does it have to do with us!"

Baki looked at the old woman in front of him, and did not give the senior of the ninja world any face at all, just like a rogue posture of having no money and having a life.
