Naruto The Thunder Calamity

Are Tailed Beasts really that precious?

Konohagakure already has three of them.

Honestly, Senju Tobirama felt a bit embarrassed to ask the Land of Whirlpools for more.

After all, these are favors, and favors are the hardest to repay.

Moreover, Konohagakure doesn't really need more Tailed Beasts. Are they that powerful?

Not to mention, Raijin alone can take down two at once.

Just in terms of numbers, the Nine-Tails, Eight-Tails, and Two-Tails against the Five-Tails, Four-Tails, and One-Tail.

It's not just a slight advantage.

Moreover, Raijin has the Mangekyou, and Motohide also has the Mangekyou, so in Senju Tobirama's view,

Tailed Beasts are no different from dogs.

"Since you all can't part with the Tailed Beasts, Konohagakure... is not an unreasonable village. So, let's forget about the Tailed Beasts."

Senju Tobirama tapped the negotiation table with one hand, sighed as if helpless, and said to Shamon and Oonoki.

"Truly worthy of being Hokage, such magnanimity is admirable."

Oonoki's eyes lit up upon hearing this and quickly said to Senju Tobirama.

At the same time, he glanced at Uchiha Raijin standing next to Senju Tobirama, afraid that Raijin might say something at this moment.

Anything but the Tailed Beasts is negotiable.

Raijin, on the other hand, didn't care at all about the Tailed Beasts...

How to put it?

In Raijin's view, dead Tailed Beasts are more valuable than living ones.

But not too many need to die, the sacrifices of the Three-Tails and Six-Tails are enough.

The time it takes for the Tailed Beasts to revive is enough for Konohagakure and himself to prepare for the Akatsuki.

Of course, if they are not ready by then, killing them again wouldn't be a problem.

"But we can do without the Tailed Beasts, but other things..."

Senju Tobirama dragged out his words, silently looking at Shamon and Oonoki.

Hearing this, Shamon and Oonoki looked down, not saying a word.

Heh...

If staying silent could get them through, then the negotiation wouldn't be too serious.

"Triple the supplies on the list."

Senju Tobirama's face showed no hint of a smile, he just held up three fingers towards Shamon and Oonoki.

"Triple?!"

Oonoki exclaimed in shock, and Shamon felt his vision go dark.

Even without tripling, the supplies on the list were already a significant amount for Iwagakure and Sunagakure.

Tripling it would completely cripple their villages.

Senju Tobirama just calmly looked at Shamon and Oonoki in front of him without saying a word.

"We really can't come up with that much money."

Facing Senju Tobirama's gaze, for some reason, after Konohagakure gave up on the tailed beasts and made this demand, Oonoki felt it was somewhat reasonable.

After all, compared to money, the tailed beasts were more important.

Money was also important, but turning money into fighting power took time, often measured in years.

But they couldn't come up with it, not at all.

If they gathered these resources all at once, not to mention how the higher-ups in the village would react, Iwagakure would be paralyzed overnight.

By now, Oonoki fully understood why Senju Tobirama wanted him to come to Konohagakure directly.

There was no room for negotiation.

If he didn't come, there wouldn't even be a chance to talk.

"If you can't come up with it, then keep fighting."

Raijin shrugged casually and said to Oonoki without a care.

"Why don't you negotiate?"

Seeing Oonoki and Shamon deep in thought because of Raijin's words, Senju Tobirama paused for a moment and then turned to Raijin beside him.

"You should handle it."

Raijin pursed his lips and took a step back, and Shamon and Oonoki's attention shifted to Senju Tobirama.

Was there still a chance?

Honestly, if it wasn't absolutely necessary, Shamon and Oonoki really didn't want to keep fighting Konohagakure.

"If you really can't come up with all the money at once, it's okay. You can give part of it first and the rest gradually."

Seeing their attention on him, Senju Tobirama smiled and said to them.

"This..."

Shamon and Oonoki hesitated.

"Okay, but how exactly would that work?"

In the end, Oonoki made the decision. If the resources were given in parts, it would be difficult for Iwagakure, but not impossible.

It would just be a bit tight.

Shamon looked helplessly at Oonoki sitting next to him.

With Oonoki's agreement, Sunagakure had no choice left.

"Divide it into three parts. Send the first part to Konohagakure first. The remaining two parts can be delivered over four years, with a 20% interest each year."

Senju Tobirama said concisely to Shamon and Oonoki.

"Alright!"

Oonoki gritted his teeth and nodded at Senju Tobirama.

Now, what else could they do? After all this time, Konohagakure's main forces must have gathered at the border of the Land of Grass.

And as time went on, Konohagakure's advantage would only grow.

Actually, Oonoki knew very well that once he entered the Land of Fire, unless Konoha was too unreasonable, he would have to agree to any conditions.

Shamon took a deep look at Oonoki and finally said helplessly to Senju Tobirama.

"Sunagakure agrees too."

As long as one of Sunagakure or Iwagakure chose to compromise, the other couldn't hold out any longer.

In any case, let's stop this war first.

As long as we still exist, there will always be opportunities.

"Alright, in that case, you two can continue to rest in Konoha for a while. When the first batch of supplies is sent to the border of the Land of Fire, we can sign the ceasefire agreement. Konoha's troops will wait at the border for ten days."

A smile appeared on Senju Tobirama's face as he stood up and spoke to Shamon and Oonoki.

"Okay."

Shamon and Oonoki also stood up and nodded to Senju Tobirama.

Ten days, Konoha really isn't giving any extra time...

"Want to come with me to see the plan Tsunade wrote?"

After seeing off Shamon and Oonoki, on the way to the Hokage's office, Senju Tobirama asked Raijin.

"Sure."

Raijin nodded and walked with Senju Tobirama to the Hokage's office.

I passed my fourth exam too!
