Conquering the ninja world from capturing the white eyes

These words made Ayatian stunned.

He didn't expect that with just a hint, Sarutobi Hiruzen would actually offer to compensate him.

How about it be so fast?

'You surrendered before I even took action?'

Is this considered straightforward or weak?

But Ayaten soon stopped caring. It was a good thing that Hiruzen Sarutobi was so cooperative, as it would save him a lot of words.

At the same time, he also knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi was weak, but that did not mean that the other party would compromise indefinitely.

It is definitely impossible to ask Konoha to compensate for things like the Byakugan.

You must know that the Hyuga clan regards the Byakugan as more important than life. They would rather die than let the Byakugan leak out.

This can be seen from the incident where Kumogakure kidnapped Hinata in the original work.

Kumogakure kidnapped Hinata for the sake of the Byakugan, and the compensation he wanted most afterward was definitely the Byakugan. However, neither Konoha nor Hinata agreed, and in the end they had no choice but to let Hinata come out and die.

Moreover, Ayatian has already thought about how to obtain the Byakugan. It doesn't matter whether she can get the Byakugan through compensation.

In addition to strategic items such as the Byakugan, Sarutobi Hiruzen is probably not willing to give away various forbidden techniques unique to Konoha.

After all, many of them are Konoha's trump cards.

Unless Sarutobi Hiruzen was out of his mind, there was no way he could have made such a stupid decision.

After thinking about it, the only thing Konoha can compensate is money.

But money is not bad, what Kirigakure Village is lacking now is money.

From now on, whether it is to develop the village or train talents, there will be more places where money is needed. With the current financial situation of Wuyin Village, the money is simply not enough.

It would also be great if we could take advantage of the truce to extort a huge amount of money from Konoha.

So Ayatian asked: "Is it okay to pay for it?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "I can pay you, but how much do you want?"

From Sarutobi Hiruzen's point of view, things that can be solved with a little money are no big deal at all.

If the money is gone, you can still make it again.

Besides, the war compensation was Konoha's money, not his Sarutobi clan's money. As long as it didn't go too far, he could accept it.

Ayantian thought for a while and tentatively said: "I don't want much, just three and a half billion taels. What do you think?"

Ayatian doesn't know how much Konoha's financial income is. He can only speculate on Konoha's level based on Kirigakure's financial income.

Three and a half billion taels was actually much higher than his psychological expectations. He deliberately quoted such a high price because he wanted to try Konoha's water first.

Can Konoha afford a hundred Asumas?

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face darkened when he heard this:

"You are also a Mizukage now. Don't you know what the concept of 3.5 billion taels is? It's too much, no!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen suspected that Ayaten had never read Kirigakure Village's financial statements after taking office.

Kirigakure Village's annual fiscal revenue is probably less than 3.5 billion taels. He didn't know that Aya had the courage to report such a high amount.

You must know that even for Konoha, their annual financial revenue has dropped to around 5 billion taels in the past two years due to the war.

Three and a half billion taels is 70% of Konoha’s official annual income!

If it had been a few months earlier, Konoha might have been able to get 3.5 billion taels.

But Ayatian's invasion more than two months ago caused heavy losses to Konoha, and the subsequent reconstruction cost them a lot of money, and now there is not much money left in their accounts at all.

Ayatian was not surprised by this. Three and a half billion taels was indeed an exaggeration.

The fiscal revenue of Wuyin Village last year was only about three billion taels.

He thought for a while and asked:

"It seems that Konoha Village is not as rich as I thought. I wonder how much you can give?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused and said, "What do you think of one billion taels?"

Ayatian was slightly startled when she heard this.

'One billion taels, it's funny, there are not even thirty Asma.'

He didn't expect Hiruzen Sarutobi to be so stingy, cutting three and a half billion into one billion in one go. Who could accept this?

So he replied: "No, one billion taels is too little, at least 2.5 billion taels are needed!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face darkened:

"Two and a half billion taels? Why don't you go and grab it!? No, it's too much. The maximum is 1.5 billion taels. We can't take it out no matter how much it is!"

When he heard that Konoha could only afford 1.5 billion taels at most, Ayatian couldn't help but start thinking.

To be honest, he felt that 1.5 billion taels was a bit low. His ideal amount was 2 billion taels.

But looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude, it seems that Konoha really doesn't have that much money.

'What should I do? It requires 1.5 billion taels? No, it can't be done!'

He would be very upset if he didn't get the loot he deserved. Since the money was not enough, he would have to compensate for other things.

It just so happened that he had just thought of a new plan.

Ayantian spoke again: "Fifteen hundred million taels is not enough, but you can use land to compensate."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked when he heard this:

"You want us to cede the land? This is not possible, the Fire Country cannot lose a single piece of land!"

In fact, it was not that Hiruzen Sarutobi was unwilling to cede territory.

He simply doesn't have the power.

Whether the Land of Fire can be ceded or not is up to the Daimyo. If he, the "Hokage", dares to make decisions without authorization, he will probably have to step down the next day.

Ayatian smiled and said:

"Hey, don't refuse in a hurry. I didn't say I wanted to cut off your land from the Kingdom of Fire. What I want is the land from the Kingdom of Whirlpool. What do you think? Can we talk about it?"

The Country of Uzumaki was destroyed by the coalition of ninja villages in the 30th year of Konoha.

Kirigakure Village was one of the initiators of the operation back then, and most of the sealing techniques collected in the village now come from the Kingdom of Whirlpool.

Considering that Madara had controlled the third generation of Mizukage a long time ago.

Ayatian even suspected that Madara had initiated that action.

After all, Mito Uzumaki stole Madara's Hashi hot mom, so it would be reasonable for Madara to take revenge on the country of Uzumaki.

Since the Kingdom of Whirlpool was destroyed that year, it has been left there without anyone taking over or rebuilding it.

Due to historical reasons, it is now considered Konoha's territory.

Therefore, in theory, there is no need to go through the Daimyo process when dealing with the Uzumaki Country. Konoha can make the decision on its own.

The Country of Whirlpool is surrounded by the sea on three sides and connected to the land on one side. It is a peninsula with an excellent geographical location.

If I could get this land.

Kirigakure not only has an additional foothold on the mainland, but can also control the strait leading to the south of the mainland.

Konoha has occupied this treasured land all year round but has not developed it, so why not cede it to Kirigakure as soon as possible.

As for whether Konoha is willing to be cut off, Ayantian is still certain.

When he heard that what Ayaten wanted was the Kingdom of Whirlpool, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but ponder.

After a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head:

"No, even if the Uzumaki Kingdom has been destroyed, they are still Konoha's most important allies, and this land has extraordinary significance to us.

"What's more, you have already asked for 1.5 billion taels in compensation. It is obviously inappropriate to ask for such a large piece of land, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said so, but the land of Whirlpool Country is not unreachable.

After all, this place itself does not belong to their Konoha, and it is indeed of little use to him holding it in his hands.

But for Konoha, the Country of Whirlpool does have extraordinary significance.

So if you want land, you have to pay more!

If Ayatian is willing to waive the 1.5 billion taels and give Konoha a few hundred million, then it doesn't matter if this land is cut off.

Ayaten understood the meaning behind Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

But he didn't want to give Konoha a penny.

Not only does he want the land in the Kingdom of Whirlpool, he also wants compensation of no less than 1.5 billion taels.

He thought for a while and said:

"After the fall of the Uzumaki Kingdom, the wife of the First Hokage became the orthodox heir of the Uzumaki clan.

"Although she is dead now, the new heir should be in Konoha, right?"

After hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately became vigilant.

The new heir to the Uzumaki clan, isn't that Uzumaki Kushina?

This was the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki of the village. He didn't know what Ayatian's intention was when he suddenly mentioned it.

'Is his goal the Nine-Tails? No, it shouldn't be.'

Regarding the confidentiality work of the Jinchuuriki, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought that he did a very good job.

Except for a few of their senior officials, almost no one in the village knew that Kushina was the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, let alone Ayaten, who had just become the Mizukage.

No matter how you look at it, the other party mentioned the Uzumaki clan because of the affairs of the Country of Uzumaki.

Obviously it has nothing to do with Kyuubi.

After a moment of silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen replied:

"Well, the orthodox heir of the Uzumaki clan is indeed in Konoha. What's the point of asking this?"

Ayatian smiled and said:

"It's good to be here. Since there is an orthodox heir, how to deal with the Kingdom of Whirlpool should be decided by this heir, right? Why don't you go and ask?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice:

"No need to ask, she must have the same idea as me."

Ayatian shook her head:

"Hey, don't be so hasty to deny it. After the armistice agreement is signed, both of us will have to send people to the scene. How about we go to the scene to talk?

"How about you bring the heir of the Uzumaki clan with you and let's discuss it carefully?"

Upon hearing that Ayatian actually asked Kushina to go to the scene, Sarutobi Hiruzen became vigilant again.

After thinking for a moment, he replied: "We can talk on the spot, but the location must be decided by us."

Ayatian snorted coldly, how could he agree to such ridiculous conditions.

"That won't work. What if you ambush me then?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately promised: "I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, have lived an upright life, how could I do such an insidious and cunning thing!"

Ayatian waved her hand:

"Who doesn't know how to say beautiful things?

"How about this? How about we take out the map, report three coordinates near the battle line, and then connect them with lines. The final intersection is the meeting place. How about that?"

After hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the frontline map, and then nodded:

"No problem, who comes first?"

"You come first, we will take turns." Ayantian said.

"Okay, (141,89)." Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the map for a moment and said a coordinate.

Then Ayatian said: "Then I choose (144,93)."

"..."

"..."

The two took turns reporting the points, and after a while they determined the six coordinates.

Then I picked up a pen and connected the lines, and the final intersection was the place where the two sides signed the armistice agreement.

Ayatian looked away from the map and continued:

"Then let's set the time in two days. Now let's send people to the scene to arrange the venue and be on guard at the same time. What do you think?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "Okay, see you in two days."
