Konoha: This Uchiha is very stubborn

"Shikaku-dono, these new terms...are Konoha serious?"

Terumi Mei, who was asked by Genshi to follow him for a long experience, looked at the negotiation terms that Shikaku handed over again with some disbelief.

He looked around at the fog ninjas and saw a group of equally confused fog ninjas.

After losing the war, they didn't have to pay any money, and Konoha even gave them a loan.

This kind of thing has never been heard of, let alone seen.

"..."

Twitching the corner of his mouth, Nara Shikaku looked at the Kiri Shinobi opposite him. Thinking of his expression when he first heard such a thing, he stopped making a fuss.

"These are paid loans provided by Konoha based on the friendly neighborly relationship with the Mist Ninja. At the same time, the conditions and terms are very clearly written!"

Seeing Terumi Mei still seemed a little unbelievable, Shikaku knocked on the table helplessly and raised his voice to remind.

"These loans... must be repaid!"

Seeing the mist ninja opposite, he still looked like he was worried about falling into a trap, looking at the interest, and still counting on his fingers.

Shikaku disagreed.

This loan is a little longer than the contract period, and the interest rate is really not high, with the annual interest rate being less than 15%. Compared with the common loan sharks in the ninja world, it is simply a reasonable price.

The current situation of the Mist Ninja is that there are a large number of injured people in the village, and the families of the Ninja who need pensions cannot spare any extra money at all.

And compensation is also a problem they have to face.

‘Do you want to fight for the loan issuance supervision? ’

The Nara family may have a lot of medicine backlog. If they could take advantage of this opportunity and directly issue it to the Kiri ninja in the name of loans, wouldn't it be...

Thinking about the major families who were eyeing him after returning to the village, Shikaku felt a little headache.

The Hokage specifically stipulated that part of these loans would be disbursed in the form of medicines and other urgently needed materials for the Mist ninja, and the loan supervisors would be responsible for allocating them.

Their mother-in-law clan wants to get a piece of the pie, and they still have a headache.

"And one more thing!"

Seeing the Kiri Ninja opposite, each of them was still discussing loans and other matters, Shikaku thought of the Hokage's explanation and quickly interrupted the Kiri Ninja's discussion.

"The Mizukage of your village was seriously injured due to that mysterious man's sneak attack. Although he has received careful care from us in Konoha these days, the situation is becoming increasingly pessimistic."

When he saw the Kiri nin opposite and heard about his own Mizukage, his expression immediately changed. Shikaku didn't dwell on the specific reason for this change.

"When does your village plan to take Mizukage back?"

The reaction of the Kiri ninja was very interesting. During the two days of negotiations, his own Mizukage was not mentioned at all, as if this person did not exist at all.

"...Haha! Mizukage's matter is of great importance, we need to discuss it carefully!"

When they heard that the Mizukage was still alive, both Terumi Mei and the other senior Mist ninjas present looked embarrassed.

However, no one suggested taking the Mizukage directly back to the Mist Ninja. Instead, they all started fighting.

Two more days passed.

Konoha and Kirigakure negotiated a very shocking contract.

A very large amount of money was loaned to Kiri Ninja by Konoha to restore Kiri Ninja's already miserable economy. Of course, part of the loan would be used to purchase urgently needed supplies such as medicines produced by Konoha.

In addition to the long repayment period of thirty years and the slightly higher interest rate, the Mist Ninjas had nothing to complain about. After all, they were already very poor and it was a good thing to have a batch of money to use to restore the village.

At the same time, the Mist Ninja is also responsible for helping the Country of Fire to eliminate pirates on the eastern coast.

Of course, the most important thing is the handover of the Yondaime Mizukage and the Mist Ninja prisoners.

The Fourth Generation Mizukage, Konoha stated that after the agreement is signed, the Mizukage will be handed over directly to the Kiri Ninja.

As for those prisoners, this will be discussed after the Mist Ninja begins to fulfill his promise and destroy the pirates.

And these days, Toshiro, who had been staying in the Mist Ninja Pavilion, appeared in front of these Mist Ninjas again.

"These people... seem a little reserved!"

At the venue where the agreement was signed, those Mist Ninjas were still chatting in small groups, but with the arrival of Toshiro.

After a quick glance, these people all closed their mouths and lowered their heads to show respect.

"A strong man like Naruto can become the center of attention wherever he goes."

As soon as Toshiro finished speaking, the trembling Yuanshi took over.

A pair of turbid old eyes were looking intently at Toshiro next to him, with a complicated and difficult-to-understand expression in his eyes.

"Is it strong? The Mist Ninja is also very good. It has been a little more difficult in the past few years. In ten or eight years, it will be a prosperous village again!"

As for the situation, he could handle it without any pressure.

"I wonder what your views, Hokage-sama, are on the ninja world and its subsequent development?"

Genshi was very curious as to whether the Fifth Hokage, who proposed the loan plan, had a different plan for this chaotic world than Senju Hashirama.

The current situation of the five major countries is basically formed according to Senju Hashirama's wishes.

Would this Hokage from Uchiha have different ideas?

"I probably still have some plans, but I have just become Hokage not long ago, so I'd better wait until later!"

After being stunned for a moment, Toshiro didn't hide it too much.

"...I don't know. Isn't it convenient for Hokage-sama to reveal your thoughts?"

After hearing Toshiro's words, Genshi's expression changed on the spot. In his opinion, if Toushiro, an Uchiha, had any idea, he would most likely unify the ninja world or something.

The opponent has defeated the Fourth Raikage, and there is an alliance between Konoha and Sand Ninja, and now their Mist Ninja are like this again.

If the other party really has any ideas, how will they, the Mist Ninjas, deal with it?

Is it to stand behind Konoha and help others do evil, or to stand up and oppose it?

"Haha, Master Yuan is thinking too much!"

As soon as he saw the expression on the other person's face, Toshiro knew that the other person must be overthinking, and couldn't help but laugh.

"I have no idea of ​​ruling the world and bringing peace to the ninja world. The most I can do is to gather the Kage from each village together and sign some conventions that everyone agrees with!"

"is that so?"

Seeing Toshiro laughing, Genshi still couldn't believe it. He had met Uchiha Madara before, and he was still impressed by what he looked like.

As his junior, he would not be surprised at all if Toshiro had the idea of ​​ruling the world.

"I know that Elder Yuanshi has doubts about the agreement I gave this time, but it doesn't matter, time will prove everything!"

This old guy was beating around the bush, maybe he was a little confused about the agreement he proposed to come back.

Although the interest rates on those loans were a bit higher, they were not conditions that a defeated country could obtain.

"Lord Hokage, and Elder Yuanshi, please come this way~"

While Toshiro and Genshi were talking, Terumi Mei and Nara Shikaku appeared in front of Toshiro and Genshi with a large group of people respectively.

"Is this the agreement you negotiated?"

On a long square table, apart from a few agreements jointly drawn up by both parties, there were only two pens placed quietly on the table.

Seeing this, Toshiro didn't hesitate at all and took the lead in signing his name.

As for the Mist Ninja, Yuanshi signed the agreement as the Mist Ninja's representative.

As for Yagura, this guy is still in a coma, and he will not be handed over to the Mist Ninja until the agreement is signed.

"Is this done?"

Looking at the contract that Terumi Mei handed over to him, Genshi was still a little dazed. Until now, he has been wondering if there is any conspiracy in Konoha.

What he said just now was just to test the Hokage.

But... things went so smoothly that he couldn't believe it.

"Okay, the next step is for us to hand over the Mizukage to your hands, and you Mist Ninja to dispatch ninjas to destroy the bandits at sea according to the contract!"

"From now on, we in Konoha will issue loans to the Mist ninja on time in accordance with the provisions of the contract~"

Smiling, Toshiro reminded the Yuanshi opposite him.

"Yakura?"

When Toshiro mentioned Yagura's name, Genshi's originally relaxed expression suddenly became a little nervous.

Not only him, but also the faces of the Mist Ninja who participated in the signing of the agreement between the two parties became a little heavy.

Everyone looked at Toshiro with resentment in their eyes. In their opinion, if Mizukage died directly in battle, it might be better news.

Now that they have brought him back, will their mist ninjas have to go through an upgraded version of the blood mist policy again?

"I don't know, Hokage-sama, if you have any plans to stay in the Kirigakure for a few days. Although our Kirigakure Village is not as beautiful as the Fire Country, it still has its own characteristics!"

Looking at the mist ninjas with twinkling eyes around them, Master Yuan felt a headache. These people were missing one Bai Shuang, but there were still many ambitious ones.

"Well…"

Being a little dazed by Yuanshi's words, Toshiro looked at the surrounding Mist ninjas, but did not refuse the other party's request.

What the hell is appreciating the scenery? Isn’t it about using yourself to suppress the situation and worrying about fights between these people in your village?

"Since Elder Yuan has invited me, I will stay for a few more days!"

The next few days will be a very troublesome time for the Mist Ninja. It is impossible for Yagura to continue to serve as the Fourth Mizukage.

With the Mist ninja's temperament, it would be impossible to screen out a new Mizukage without going through a bloody fight.

Yuanshi, an old man, could actually think of using himself to stabilize the situation and temporarily suppress the ambitious ambitions in the village.

Toshiro also had to admire that this old man was really bold.
