"what do you want?"
Raikage Ai looked directly at Kazekage Reto.
"Our country is full of barren sand, so we want to ask Konoha for rich land instead of tailed beasts, and 30% of the funds that other countries will use to buy tailed beasts from Konoha."
Kazekage Reito put forward this condition without any hesitation.
"You must be kidding, Kazekage!"
Leaving aside Konoha's Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, the other Kages couldn't sit still, as the value of the tailed beasts would almost drain their only funds. It would be better to give them to Konoha, after all, the opponent's power already had the upper hand, but transferring them to the Kazekage would be equivalent to cultivating a village of the same size.
Although the tailed beasts are useful, they basically cannot be used under the agreement and can only remain in the village as a deterrent. At least they are just decorations until Konoha becomes weak.
In ten or even twenty years, Fengying, who has obtained funds, will take advantage of this to widen the gap between countries, which they cannot tolerate.
"That's too much, Lord Kazekage!"
Bai Lian also raised objections.
"If you don't agree to these conditions, I won't sign the agreement. Our country is a desert country and cannot engage in production. If we want to compete with other major powers, we must naturally make the most of the tailed beasts in our village!"
Kazekage Reto ignored these doubts. He had to take this opportunity to gain benefits for his village.
"We four nations can also join hands and defeat your Wind Nation first. Speaking of which, don't you think the number of big nations is too many?"
Tsuchikage Ishikawa said with even more enthusiasm: "The Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Water, no matter how you think about it, they are not qualified. A great country and a true Kage, three are enough!"
"Oh~ I can't just pretend I didn't hear that."
Yuzhong Jin, who had been standing by and watching the fun, did not expect that Tsuchikage Ishigawa would suddenly direct his words at them.
"This kind of situation is not something a junior can interrupt."
Tsuchikage Ishikawa was the only one present who did not know the background of the Hidden Mist Village in the Water Country. Even the quasi-kage-level ninja that Kazekage Retsu had sent out earlier learned the news that Uchiha Madara had been defeated in the Water Country.
"If you think you are stronger than Uchiha Madara, then declare war. We can start fighting at any time."
Yuzun released the chakra power of the Nine-Tails in her body, a golden light flashed in her eyes, and her demonic eyes were activated. With the power of the Nine-Tails, she was able to see the level of the Tsuchikage Ishigawa clearly.

boom!
Just as various parties were confronting each other, the familiar sound was heard again.
Senju Hashirama knocked his forehead on the table, making the atmosphere quiet.
"We did have a lot of conflicts in the past, but that was all because we wanted to protect our compatriots and families, and sometimes we had no choice."
Senju Hashirama tried to persuade the Kages of all parties with words, and then continued: "Even if the five countries successfully sign the agreement today, I don't know how long it can last, and how long everyone can abide by it. But I have always dreamed that one day, ninjas can help each other regardless of national boundaries and work together to become a whole. This is my dream... for the future!"
“So, I implore you to make today the first step towards that dream.”
"I sincerely, sincerely, sincerely implore you all to weave our ninja's true dream now from our ninja's pain, distress, and frustration."
……
Hashirama Senju's words caused the meeting to fall into a brief silence.
"We pursue peace, but that doesn't mean we fear war. Earlier, we should have communicated with all parties. The Hidden Mist Village of the Land of Water declared permanent neutrality. I reiterate here that if anyone declares war on us, it will be a fight to the death for all Mizukage and Mizukage candidates. Of course, if we start a war first, we also expect the four countries to besiege us together."
Yuzhong Jin looked directly at all the figures present.
"exactly."
Mizukage Byakuren highly recognized Yuzuru's courage and bravery.
These words made the other shadows more cautious.
Compared to the old man Mizukage on the stage, the only woman present is more troublesome.
"As expected, he is the one who killed Uchiha Madara."
Raikage Ai revealed this information only to tell the only unaware party present to think carefully about it.
Senju Tobirama observed Yuzenjin and thought that he was only outstanding in martial arts, but was also so difficult to deal with politically.
"Are you kidding me?"
Tsuchikage Ishikawa's expression was solemn.
Uchiha Madara, this name is a taboo for their Iwagakure Village.
Three years ago, the arrival of that ninja directly shattered their pride.
With just one person, he defeated all the top combat forces of the Iwagakure Village.
But such an existence died at the hands of a young junior.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Senju Tobirama would not have been willing to believe it. Uchiha Madara was an old rival who had been fighting with his brother Senju Hashirama for many years.
But the problem is that he was the only one present who actually watched that scene.
There's no point in questioning it.
"For now, let's continue discussing the distribution of the tailed beasts."
Senju Tobirama interrupted.
"Since Mr. Hokage is so sincere, then we, the Wind Country, will take a step back, but it will also be equivalent to other countries buying 30% of the tailed beasts' funds for the Fire Country's land. This is the biggest step back. We need a stable living space."
Kazekage Reito will not reduce the conditions any further.
"I heard that the Nine-Tails has fallen into the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water. There should be no need to distribute the other tailed beasts, right?"
Raikage Ai looked at Yuzun. He had already confirmed that the person in charge of representing the Hidden Mist Village this time was not Mizukage Byakuren. He added, "After all, you have already declared permanent neutrality, so you will definitely sign the treaty unconditionally, right?"
"Of course."
Yuzhongjin smiled at first, then said distressedly: "It's just that the Nine-Tailed Fox in our village is more mischievous. It hopes that there are other tailed beasts to accompany it. Otherwise, it can't help but run to the place where there are tailed beasts to find companions and play a game of razing everything within a radius of 5,000 meters or 10,000 meters to the ground."
"This is really... disturbing."
Raikage Ai understood what Yuzhongjin meant, this was a disguised threat.
"The Wind Country gave up its tailed beast, the Water Country wants one, we have a total of six tailed beasts in Konoha, the Earth Country and the Lightning Country each have two, and the last one will stay in the Fire Country. Is that okay?"
Senju Tobirama asked.
"No."
All the shadows nodded.
The number of tailed beasts to be purchased has been determined, and the final issue is the price.
Tobirama Senju held an auction, where each Kage chose the tailed beast and made a bid.
"Yawei, thirty million ryo."
As soon as the Raikage attacked, he aimed at the Eight-Tails, which was the strongest besides the Nine-Tails.
"Yawei, thirty-five million ryo."
Yuzhuanjin also made an offer.
After the daimyo's death, the remaining "national treasury" was naturally taken over by their Kirigakure Village.
"Yawei, 40 million ryo."
Raikage Ai looked at Yuzun and said, "You already have the Nine-Tails, it would not be good to want the Eight-Tails."
"Ahh~ That's true. I give up then."
Yu Zhuanjin put his hand down. Although he had the funds, the economy of the Water Country was much poorer than that of the Thunder Country. 20 million taels was actually the limit.
But she just wanted to raise the price and consume the most prosperous economy of the Thunder Kingdom.
The Fire Nation has fertile land, but its economy is not very prosperous.
The Land of Thunder mainly produces war weapons, and therefore made a lot of money during the war.
The Land Shadow of the Earth Kingdom remained silent. Although they had assets, they were extremely scarce compared to the Land of Thunder and the Land of Water.
In other words, I can't afford the price.
"Sanwei, 10 million taels."
Mizutsu said, "No one will compete with us in the Water Country for the tailed beasts in the water."
There was silence and no response.
"Thank you."
Yuzhongjin said with a smile.
"Four tails, ten million taels; five tails, ten million taels."
Tsuchikage Ishigawa gritted his teeth and finally made his bid. The reason he didn't go for Vulpix was because he was worried that the Raikage would raise the price.
"Two tails, five million taels."
Raikage Ai also said that in fact, after buying the Eight-Tails, he no longer had any extra funds to raise the price.
"Then only the six-tailed beast is left. The funds for purchasing the tailed beasts are a total of 75 million taels. According to the agreement, million taels of funds will be provided by the Fire Country to provide land of equivalent value and temporarily leased to the Wind Country."
After saying this, Tobirama Senju took out a document and handed it to each Kage.
Once it is signed, peace will come.
The five Kage wrote their names on it.
……
The Five Kage Summit ended here.
Hashirama Senju specially invited ninjas from the Uzumaki clan to provide after-sales service to several villages that purchased the tailed beasts.
If the tailed beasts are not sealed and restricted, their combat power will easily run wild.
Byakuren sent a jonin to take in the three-tailed Isogai.
The Uzumaki clan's sealing technique was indeed good. It completely suppressed the rebellion of the tailed beasts and ensured the relative safety of the first generation Jinchūriki.
"We will also continue to be responsible for everyone's future inheritance of the tailed beasts."
Senju Hashirama made this promise.
After obtaining the tailed beasts, the Kages returned to the village one after another.
The war in the ninja world was quelled, and almost everyone was celebrating it. The Five Kage Summit also determined the status of the true "Kage".
……
The Kingdom of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.
Yu Zhuanjin stood on a high place and looked out at the thriving village she had planned. For her, all that needed to be done had been done, and the rest could only be left to time to settle.
The cooldown time of the dungeon had been refreshed several days ago, but it was only delayed because of attending the Five Kage Summit.
Now, the Five Kage Summit has ended.
Yuzhuanjin stroked Fufu's fur silently, just wanting to take another look at the village.
"Ouch~"
