Chapter 1056

Here.

After obtaining Sarutobi Hiruzen's promise, Danzo left Konoha overnight, feeling satisfied.

Reality is often cruel.

Hatake Sakumo had made great contributions to Konoha.

But once he died, the hard-won fruits of victory would also be stolen by others.

And the one about to harvest this fruit of victory was none other than Shimura Danzo.

Danzo returned to the Sand ninja battlefield base overnight, looking forward to the final talks tomorrow in his heart.

After repeated tug-of-war for ten days and a half a month, the war negotiations were about to come to an end.

In the end, Konoha would obtain a large amount of money, supplies, and various compensations through this talk.

Besides that, the Sand ninja would completely withdraw their forces from the Land of Rivers, effectively acknowledging Konoha's control over the Land of Rivers.

It can be said that this battle, although initiated by the Sand ninja side.

But the final winner who laughed last was Konoha.

Just like the final result of the Second Ninja World War in the original work.

Of course, if there were no accidents, it would be like this.

The next day at dawn.

Danzo stepped into the pre-set negotiation venue with a haughty pace.

But just as he entered, Danzo frowned.

Because in the huge venue, there was actually no one there at this moment.

According to common sense, as the defeated side, the Sand ninja should have arrived early and sat at the end of the table.

Danzo originally thought that when he pushed open the door, he should see the Sand ninja representatives ready to sign the agreement with lowered heads.

But never did he expect that there was only air in the room.

"Did I come early?"

Danzo felt a bit depressed in his heart.

"No!"

Danzo quickly denied the guess in his heart.

As the "victorious side," Danzo had already timed it to arrive half an hour late.

There was no reason at all for him to arrive before the Sand ninja.

Thinking of this, Danzo gradually narrowed his eyes.

"Hmph!"

Subsequently, after a cold snort, Danzo took a few Root ninja and sat down with an ugly expression.

About ten minutes passed.

The door was pushed open again from the outside.

"Hoo~"

Accompanied by a gust of sand blowing in.

A group of ninja wearing veils and white gauze clothes entered the venue slowly.

Subsequently, the Sand ninja sat down on the opposite side of Danzo.

"Heh heh..."

"Sand ninja, everyone..."

"What a big ego."

Seeing the Sand ninja sit down, Danzo said this with a fake smile.

Hearing this, the Sand ninja on the opposite side remained silent.

The leading Sand ninja moved unhurriedly; he just slowly took off the hat on his head and removed the veil covering his face.

Now, it was Danzo's turn to frown.

Because the face revealed under the veil was not the Sand ninja Great Elder Chiyo, who had been tug-of-warring with him many times in recent days.

But a somewhat unfamiliar young face.

He had a handsome face, deep blue hair, and a flashy spiky hairstyle.

Looking at this young face, Danzo's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

As the leader of the "Root" organization, Danzo could not possibly not know what this young face meant.

Being able to attend on behalf of the Sand ninja on this occasion, and being so young, I'm afraid it could only be that Third Kazekage.

Staring at the Third Kazekage's handsome and flashy young face, Danzo sneered secretly in his heart.

"What Third Kazekage, I think he's just a wet-behind-the-ears kid."

Thinking of this, Danzo felt a bit more contempt for the Third Kazekage in his heart.

After sitting down, facing Danzo's provocation.

The Third Kazekage, Sandaime, did not rush to speak.

His actions fully demonstrated the maturity befitting the status of a Kazekage.

He swept a cold glance at Danzo in front of him; all information about Danzo was known to him.

If it were before, the Third Kazekage would indeed not dare to do anything to Danzo.

Even more so, he, who was at odds with Chiyo, might not have come to wade into this muddy water.
