______________________________________

The war between Sand Hidden and Konoha has lasted for two years, but compared to Sand Hidden, Konoha's war weariness is very strong.

Before starting the battle with Sagakure, Konoha had already fought with Ugakure ninjas in the Land of Rain. Many ninjas were exhausted physically and mentally.

Therefore, when Kazekage Sandai submitted the settlement document, according to Shiraishi's estimate, there was a high possibility that Konoha would agree.

After all, this is also the main strategy that Konoha has always adopted.

Continuing to spend with Sand Yin will only benefit other ninja fishermen.

"Really, it's already reached this level. It's enough to defeat Sha Yin in one go. If you submit the settlement paper without pain, you will still make a comeback in the future."

Liuli sat on a rock with dissatisfaction on her face.

It has only been more than a month since she came out of the village, and she hasn't enjoyed fighting the sand ninjas yet. If the war ends at this time, the mission of Shuomo's team will also be over.

"You can't say that, because the ninjas in many villages in the camp have become war-weary, and Sand Yin is almost the same. At this time, it ends peacefully, which is good for both parties. As for the future... let's talk about it later."

Out of the considerations that a Konoha ninja should have, Shiraishi believes that this is indeed the best solution.

"That's great. I thought I wouldn't be able to return to the village to celebrate the New Year this year. After all, I'm still very much looking forward to this year's festival."

Ayane said with a smile on the side.

Baishi turned his head to the other side, as if he didn't hear this sentence.

"It's true, the war will end soon, and you can go back to participate in the New Year's festival... Besides, I also want to go back and visit Kakashi."

Shuo Mao also said with a smile when he heard the three of them communicating there.

"Kakashi?"

Baishi and the others were attracted by this name.

"Ah, didn't I tell you guys?"

Shuo Mao blinked in doubt.

"No, I haven't heard of this person at all. By the way... who is he?"

Baishi shook his head.

"He is my son, Hatake Kakashi. Although he is only two years old this year, I believe he will be an excellent ninja in the future."

Shuo Mao said so.

"son!?"

Baishi and the others were stunned, and they called out loudly.

Surprise can no longer be used to describe this incident. They had never heard of Shuo Mao's son.

"Why, is there something wrong?"

Shuo Mao looked at the three of them strangely.

"No... I thought, Mr. Shuo Mao, you are still single. I didn't expect not only to be married, but also to have a son..."

Ayane quickly explained.

Baishi and Liuli also nodded one after another. In their eyes, Shuo Mao is indeed such an image.

"Sorry, I thought I had already mentioned this."

"It's okay, I was just a little surprised when I heard it suddenly. After all, this is a personal matter. We had no contact with Sakumo-sensei before graduating from Ninja School. So, Sakumo-sensei's son is already two years old... Hatake Kakashi, that's a very good name."

Ayane smiled.

But I was thinking in my heart: What kind of name should I and Bai Shijun's child have in the future?

"Speaking of which, my father is a bit dereliction of duty. When my child's birthday was in September, I couldn't go back to the village to celebrate his birthday. In a blink of an eye, it's already November."

"There is still a chance next year. Teacher Shuo Mao will treat me to dinner then."

Baishi laughed.

The corner of Shuo Mao's mouth twitched. Speaking of treats, he seemed to suddenly recall some bad memories.

He didn't want to be on the verge of bankruptcy on his son's birthday.

"Really? That's great. I'll go there on an empty stomach that day. Get ready, Teacher Shuo Mao."

Ayane smiled and confirmed the matter.

Shuo Mao sighed, his wallet seemed to be lost, and then he looked at Liuli.

"Don't look at me like that. It's your son's birthday party. If you let me pay for it, wouldn't it be too ignorant? After all, you are Lord White Fang."

No, I don't care about saving face. Hearing Liuli's ruthless rejection, Shuo Mao complained in his heart.

◎

Two days later, it was the day when Konoha and Sayin formally concluded a settlement agreement and signed an armistice agreement.

The weather is fine and sunny.

Shomo's team set off to return to the Konoha Camp on the border of the Land of Fire.

The armistice agreement was signed at nine o'clock in the morning.

It's four o'clock in the afternoon.

That is to say, the truce agreement with Sha Yin has been signed, and this news should have already been sent back to the camp, and will be sent back to the village as quickly as possible.

However, when they returned to the camp at 5:00 p.m., the four members of Shuo Mao's team felt something was wrong.

It's too dull.

It's more like grief.

The four of them looked at each other, not knowing what happened.

Although knowing that the war is over, some people will definitely be sad, but it is not so dull.

In this dullness, there is also a anger and murderous intent that wants to devour everything.

"What's going on here?"

"I don't know, what happened?"

Baishi stroked his chin and began to think.

Is there something wrong with the agreement?

Could it be that Sha Yin did not plan to fulfill the agreement?

Otherwise, it's impossible to explain all this.

"You are also a medical ninja, hurry up and go to the medical department, there is an urgent shortage of manpower there!"

At this moment, a Konoha ninja quickly ran over and said to Baishi anxiously.

Shiraishi looked at Shuo Mao, Shuo Mao nodded, and Shiraishi followed the ninja to the camp where the medical troops were.

"You guys take a break here, I'll go find Dashewan to find out about the situation."

Liuli and Ayane nodded, and followed Shuo Mao's instructions.

——The camp where the medical troops are located.

Tragic!

The only word to describe it is tragic.

Dozens of Konoha ninjas fell in the tent with blood and flesh. The roar of pain like a ghost made Shiraishi lose his mind for a while.

How is this going?

These injuries should have been caused recently... No, they were caused today, right?

what happens?

Baishi didn't ask, and immediately followed a medical ninja with superb medical ninjutsu. All these dozens of ninjas needed emergency surgery.

And during the first aid process, there must be some seriously injured people who couldn't be taken care of, and died directly because they couldn't bear the pain.

Weeping, wailing, converging in one place.

Every medical ninja is sweating profusely and has no time for unnecessary exchanges.

The first aid was over two hours later.

It's not that the first aid was successful. The reason it ended so early was because many people died before the operation had time.

Some were rescued by surgery, but still died.

Only a dozen or so people pulled back from the gate of hell.

"We did our best."

The medical ninja in charge patted Shiraishi on the shoulder, as if he was worried about the psychological burden of a young medical ninja like him, and comforted him.

"Well, senior, what is going on? Why did it become like this?"

Baishi finally asked the question he most wanted to ask.

The medical ninja in charge knew that Shiraishi was the medical ninja following Sakumo, so it was only natural that he didn't know the situation here.

"We don't know the details. We just know that the mission that signed the armistice agreement with Sha Yin was attacked by unknown people on the way. When it was sent back, it was already in this state."

The attending medical ninja said with a heavy face.

"Then what happened to the armistice agreement? Was it Sand Ninja's hand?"

"I don't know about it either. But this time we suffered heavy losses. I heard that even Kato Jonin was sacrificed."

"Join Kato?"

Baishi was taken aback. This surname, and it's also Jonin, could it be...

"Ms. Tsunade is very emotionally unstable now. Kato Jonin's sacrifice has hit her too hard."

The attending medical ninja sighed.

"Jonin Kato is so powerful, how could..."

Baishi couldn't understand it.

Kato Jonin is Tsunade's current boyfriend Kato Dan. Although his reputation cannot be compared with that of Sakumo who has the name of White Fang, he is one of the few elite Jonin in Konoha. In one-on-one situations, he may not be worse than Sannin.

After all, the power of the spirit transformation technique is terrifying.

Moreover, it has a wide range of perception capabilities. It is very easy to break out and find weak points to escape.

"In order to cover the evacuation of his companions, he chose to fight the enemy alone. By the time the reinforcements passed by, he was already... dying! Master Tsunade tried his best, but he couldn't save Kato Jonobu's life."

"Is that so?"

Baishi sighed.

Although he didn't know each other well with that Kato Duan Shangren, this selfless act of saving his companions would make people admire his spirit from the bottom of their hearts no matter what their standpoint.

In this age, life is not something to be happy about, and death is not something to be sad about.

This is the current theorem of the ninja world.

He could know Tsunade's pain, but he couldn't personally experience that pain.

The joys and sorrows of human beings are not shared.

Because he was not familiar with Kato Kamishinobu, his sighs were only for Tsunade's sake.

The death of his younger brother Nakoki, the sacrifice of his boyfriend Kato Duan...he has been in a state of depression since then...

No, it's Sannin no matter what, so it shouldn't be like this, right?

Baishi thought so, but he didn't have much confidence in it.

After all, people are emotionally fragile creatures.

Seeing that there was nothing to do in the medical team, Baishi left here to join Shuo Mao and the others at their residence.

The three of Shuo Mao were already waiting there, talking about something.

"Teacher Sakumo, I'm back. What's going on? I heard that unknown people attacked the ninja mission that was going to sign an armistice agreement with Sand Ninja."

"That's true. Not only that, Orochimaru was also seriously injured. If Kato Jonin hadn't resolutely chosen to cut off the rear, it is very likely that everyone who went to sign the armistice agreement would have been wiped out in the encirclement of the enemy."

Sakumo briefly explained what he learned from Orochimaru.

"It's really outrageous. No matter what, you must maintain the highest vigilance."

Liu Li had an angry look on her face.

After all, there are lessons learned from this kind of thing. During the First Ninja World War, when the second generation of Naruto and the second generation of Raikage of Kumonin signed an armistice agreement, they encountered the radical leader of the radical group, the Kinkaku and Yinkaku brothers, and led a large number of Kumoin's jounin raids.

The second generation of Raikage was killed on the spot by the Jinjiao Yinjiao brothers at the scene of signing the armistice agreement. The second generation of Hokage died together with the Jinjiao Yinjiao brothers and their troops in order to cover their subordinates.

This is all because of too much trust in the enemy.

With the lessons learned from the Second Hokage, we should be more cautious when signing the armistice agreement.

Who knew that Orochimaru, the commander, was seriously injured, and only half of the hundreds of Konoha ninjas came back.

The one who sacrificed the most was Kato Duan. In order for Orochimaru to lead the Konoha troops to evacuate, Duan was alone and fought to the death.

"Now is not the time to blame anyone. Have you found out the identity of the enemy?"

Baishi looked at Shuo Mao.

Sakumo sighed, shook his head and said, "No. Their ninjutsu styles are very complicated. It is said that one of them is very powerful, and he seems to be immortal. He can be resurrected after being killed once. Because of this ability, many of his companions were careless, and he killed several Jninjutsu at once."

"Who is he?"

"have no idea."

Baishi and the others frowned slightly.

Such a powerful character, who also has the ability to be immortal, cannot be unknown in the ninja world.

How could you not know?

"Probably a bounty hunter from the black market."

Sakumo wasn't quite sure who the ninja who led the attack on the Konoha Mission was, but he guessed that the other party might be a ninja running rampant in the black market.

It was a truly dark world where the weak preyed on the strong, and there were many powerful but not very famous ninjas in it.

The ninja who attacked the Konoha Mission this time fits the image of a black market high-strength ninja.

"Underground black market? It would be very difficult to investigate that way. Could it be that Sand Ninja hired him?"

Baishi has also heard of such a dark world.

The bounty hunters that exist in the dark side of the ninja world and run rampant in the black market are either defected ninjas or samurai. Although there are a lot of rubbish, there are also truly powerful ones.

The underground black market has a complex network. Every country has a stronghold of this organization, deeply rooted in the ninja world.

"It's just possible, but we don't have any evidence to prove it. But before we came back, Sandai Kazekage sent envoys to accuse us of why we didn't keep the appointment on time, and whether we intend to continue this war."

This incident made many Konoha ninjas feel angry.

In the eyes of many Konoha ninjas, it was the sand ninjas behind the scenes who ambushed their mission this time.

If Orochimaru hadn't stopped him, the sand ninja envoy would have been torn to pieces by many Konoha ninjas.

After hearing this, the three of Baishi were a little dull, and they could understand the anger of those Konoha ninjas.

Judging from the current situation, there is a very high possibility that Sakai turned back and planned to catch Konoha by surprise.

However, these are all conjectures, and there is no conclusive evidence to prove that this was done by sand ninjas.

It's really frustrating.

"What does the village say?"

"The village just got the news. Because the matter is so important, the higher-ups will definitely have to argue endlessly. The exact order will probably not come down until three or four days later."

This is the most conservative time.

Now it's a fight or a tie, it just depends on the decision of the high-level people.

Baishi has no objection to this. He is not interested in war in the first place, and how Konoha's senior management controls this situation has nothing to do with him.

◎

"Peace talks?"

Three days later, the order of the high-level meeting came down.

Talk to Shayin.

This made many ninjas in the Konoha camp frown.

But the high-level officials gave an explanation—the ambush of the Konoha mission, which resulted in the failure of the Konoha and Sand Yin truce agreement to be signed, was all a conspiracy by Yanyin.

The unidentified ninja who ambushed the Konoha mission was hired by Iwagakure from the black market.

At this time, Konoha and Sand Yin continued to wage war, and they would only fall into the well-designed trap with Sand Yin.

Therefore, it is necessary to sign an armistice agreement with Shayin to guard Yanyin Village.

"What's going on, Orochimaru?"

Asked in an incomprehensible way.

Orochimaru took out another piece of information and said: "This is important information collected by the Anbu. Two days ago, there was a small-scale conflict between the sand hidden and the rock hidden ninjas in the country of bears."

"Sand Yin and Yan Yin...they?"

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru inexplicably.

Orochimaru replied: "After Sagakure's supplies were destroyed by Sakumo, Sagakushi cooperated with Iwagakure, hoping that Iwagakure would help them with some supplies. Iwagakure also agreed to Sagakure's request, but when transferring the supplies two days ago, the supplies that Iwagakure promised to Sagakure were only one-twentieth of what was agreed. A conflict broke out between the two parties."

Jiraiya still frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Whether it's Yan Yin's soil shadow, or Sha Yin's wind shadow, or the two of them working together to plot against Konoha, it's not important anymore."

"How could it be unimportant, to kill that guy was to sacrifice himself to—"

"Don't yell here, too many people died in the war, Kato judged that he was a real ninja, that's all."

Orochimaru didn't want to hear Zilai yelling in front of him, he was very disturbed right now.

"Continuing the peace talks with Sayin is a unanimous decision of the high-level officials. After all, if the fight continues, we will not be facing the Sayin family, but also Yanyin."

"It's not worth going to war with Sand Yin and Yan Yin at the same time for the sake of Kato Dan", but he still couldn't get out of his mouth.

But what Orochimaru thinks is the truth.

Sha Yin was probably the mastermind behind the ambush mission.

But Orochimaru is not very clear why he came to ambush Konoha once before the end of the war, and even recruited Tsuchikage to perform this scene, so that Konoha did not dare to move around at will.

"What is that Fengying thinking about?"

◎

"It's like doing some kind of warm-up exercise before a battle to heat up the atmosphere."

"warm up?"

There were only two people in the tent, and Ayane looked at Baishi with a puzzled expression, not knowing why he would say such words.

"The one who ambushed the Konoha Mission before was undoubtedly that Kazekage. Even if he didn't hire him himself, this strategy must have come from him."

"Is there any basis?"

"The warm-up exercise I mentioned is the basis. Before the end of this war, annihilating some of Konoha's elite ninjas is tantamount to weakening Konoha's strength."

"But... if the high-level side decides to continue the war, wouldn't it be counterproductive?"

Ayane asked back.

"That's why Iwagakure was dragged in. This is the situation in the eyes of Konoha's high-level officials - Sagakushi's original intention was to continue to fight against Konoha, because they received supplies from Iwagakure, so they could continue to fight. However, after annihilating the Konoha Mission, Iwagakushi suddenly reduced the original supplies, causing Sagakure to lose the ability to continue fighting. In this way, in the eyes of Konoha's high-level officials, Sagakushi was played by Iwagakure. "

"The higher-ups won't be fooled by such a simple scheme."

"It doesn't matter whether you are fooled or not. What matters is whether you have the ability to fight against the two villages of Sand Yin and Yan Yin at the same time. The point is that Konoha's senior management has no plans to fight the two villages of Ninja at the same time. This is a blatant conspiracy."

Although Konoha has this ability, the sacrifice would be even greater.

Shiraishi doesn't think that Konoha's high-level executives have such determination that they will sacrifice Konoha's development for the next ten years and break out a war with Sand Yin and Yan Yin.

It is obvious that the two villages have already colluded with each other.

Or, Yanyin was also used by that Fengying.

Yanyin did not cooperate with Sayin in acting, but Shayin was acting unilaterally for everyone to see, to fool other people's attention, and to shift the focus of the problem.

"Warming up exercise? It's really an apt description."

If what Shiraishi said is true, Ayane thinks the word warm-up exercise is very appropriate.

Annihilating the Konoha Mission and letting Iwagakushi cooperate with acting is a warm-up exercise for the next more ferocious attack on the Land of Fire.

That is to say, a few years after the end of this war, Sand Hidden will definitely make a comeback again. Under the leadership of that third Kazekage, the offensive will be even more ferocious than this time.

Thinking of Shiraishi saying a long time ago that after the end of the Second Ninja World War, the third Ninja World War will definitely take too long, and it will still revolve around the Fire Nation where Konoha is located, and he can't help admiring it.

At that time, it was indeed the best time to leave Konoha.

"Is this your future development plan, Master Kazekage? It's really amazing! Surely no one can think of Master Kazekage's true intentions."

Surrounded by Sagano's confidant Jonin, after watching the entire planning process, they all showed reverence for Sandai Kazekage.

Yan Yin, Konoha, the two villages are being played around by their respected Kazekage-sama.

Konoha is even more miserable. So many people have been killed, and they still have to sign an armistice agreement with them.

Iwagakure is indeed planning to use Sagne to continue the war with Konoha.

The reduction of the supplies that were originally promised to Sha Yin also happened for real, and it was not a fraud.

It's just that this point was also taken advantage of by the Third Kazekage.

Yan Yin secretly rejoiced, and the conflict between Sand Yin and Konoha deepened.

Konoha thinks that Sand Yin and Yan Yin have colluded together a long time ago. This is a trap for Konoha, and they cannot move around at will. It is necessary to continue to sign an armistice agreement with Sand Hidden to prevent Sand Hidden and Yan Hidden from jointly attacking the Nation of Fire.

"In the next few years, we will make good use of the rich resources we got from the land of fire this time to train more outstanding ninjas for the village and prepare for the next war in a few years. Also, in order to build a prosperous era that belongs to us in the sand, please join me in encouraging each other."

Sandai Kazekage stood up from his seat, his tone was full of confidence, and meant to encourage his subordinates.

"Yes! I will serve you to the death!"

These Shinobu Shinobu also stood up from their seats one after another, looking at Sandai Kazekage with fanatical eyes.

It seems that a few years later, under the leadership of Fengying, they once again opened the gap in the country of fire to plunder more and better resources.

The era of Sha Yin's real rise will soon come.
