The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 619 Purpose

“I am fully aware of the current situation of your Sunagakure.”

"In that case, you have no choice but to cede land as reparations."

It's finally here! When I heard the words "ceding territory."

All the Sand Village ninja present wore expressions of pain.

At this moment, Ebizo looked extremely dejected. He slowly turned his head to look at his Sunagakure companions beside him and waved to them gently.

Not long after, a Sand Village ninja brought over a map about one meter long.

After taking the map, Ebizo laid it out flat on the table in front of him with a somewhat heavy hand.

However, Minato, who was already prepared, calmly took out a pen from his pocket and drew a line on the map without hesitation.

In an instant, Ebizo couldn't help but gasp. Minato's seemingly casual slash had wiped out a full fifth of the Land of Wind's territory!

It's worth noting that the Land of Wind's territory is roughly twice the size of the Land of Fire, so you can imagine just how vast the area encompassed by that one-fifth that was cut off was.

"Absolutely impossible! There are far too many!"

"We strongly disagree with these conditions!"

Before Ebizo could even express his opinion, Yokura, who was standing next to him, and another elder named Fuji immediately voiced their strong opposition.

However, in the face of their protests, Minato Namikaze just smiled coldly, a smile that carried a hint of contempt and disdain.

Then, he slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the representatives from Sunagakure before him with piercing intensity.

“Your Sunagakure village has absolutely no room for negotiation.”

Minato's voice was as cold as a sharp blade in the cold wind, piercing straight into the hearts of everyone present.

"If you do not agree to my conditions, then starting tomorrow, I will come every day until I completely wipe out your entire Sunagakure!"

When Minato said these words, his tone was chilling and sent shivers down one's spine.

At the same time, three Uchiha behind him took a step forward in unison.

The Mangekyou Sharingan shone in everyone's eyes, and powerful ocular energy instantly spread out.

This caused the atmosphere in the room to suddenly become tense and oppressive.

"You...!" Both Elder Fuji and Ye Cang himself were furious, their faces flushed red, but they were helpless.

Because they knew very well that the Fourth Hokage truly possessed such terrifying strength.

Sorry, having the Flying Thunder God Technique means you can do whatever you want.

As the situation spiraled out of control, Ebizo, who had remained silent until now, finally made his move.

He quickly stretched out a hand and forcefully stopped Yekura and Elder Fuji, who were about to rush up to argue with Minato.

Ebizo's face was frighteningly gloomy, clearly filled with anger and resentment.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and forced out a few words:

"We, the Sand Village... agree."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ebizo seemed to have all his strength suddenly drained away.

He slumped into the chair behind him like a deflated balloon.

Meanwhile, Ye Cang and Elder Fuji, standing to the side, were deathly pale, their faces filled with undisguised shame.

At this moment, the other Sunagakure villagers in the room were all like wilted eggplants, listless and dejected.

It should be noted that the Kingdom of Wind has existed for many years, and this is the first time it has been forced to cede territory and pay reparations in order to protect itself.

All of them present will be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of Sunagakure.

Minato's face beamed with satisfaction: "Besides that, where is Rasa now?"

Upon hearing this, Ebizo was slightly taken aback, but he quickly replied:

"Fourth Hokage, don't even think about it! Rasa ran away a long time ago, and we don't know where he is."

Upon hearing this, the crowd below exchanged knowing glances, all of them understanding perfectly well what was going on.

—Ebizo is clearly lying through his teeth, trying to get away with it!

Because at this very moment, Luo Sha is hiding in the village, and might be near this house.

Moreover, among those present were many loyal followers of the Luo Sha faction.

However, at such a sensitive time, no one dared to easily expose this lie.

It's important to understand that for Sunagakure, the ceded land was primarily a source of spiritual humiliation.

Those places are all vast deserts. Even if Konoha were truly willing to occupy them, the actual benefits they could gain would probably be negligible.

However, Rasa was far too important to Sunagakure.

He not only controls most of the village's mineral resources, but is also the economic pillar of the entire village.

At the same time, as a highly skilled ninja, even if he no longer personally participates in mining work,

In terms of combat prowess alone, he can be considered one of the pillars of Sunagakure.

Moreover, if the Fourth Kazekage were to ultimately become a prisoner of Konoha, it would be unacceptable to Sunagakure from any perspective.

"Are you Sunagakure trying to fool me with such a clumsy lie?"

Minato's face instantly darkened. He snorted coldly, and although his voice was not loud, it was like a thunderclap that exploded in everyone's hearts.

In an instant, the people of Sunagakure felt an invisible pressure bearing down on them, and they were all drenched in sweat and felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.

Ebizo, his face grim, withstood the pressure and said, "Rasa has indeed disappeared. If the Fourth Hokage doesn't believe me, he can look for him himself."

Although Ebizo had planned to cooperate with Konoha beforehand, Rasa was by no means a fool. If he realized that Konoha intended to capture him, he would definitely choose to escape.

Therefore, Ebizo felt that he still needed to pretend for the time being.

Hearing this, Minato's tense expression relaxed slightly, and he continued to ask:

"So, have all of Luo Sha's relatives also disappeared?"

Upon hearing this, Ebizo's expression instantly became somewhat blank. He secretly pondered to himself, "So Minato's real target is actually Rasa's children!"

In negotiation situations like this, the focus often shifts to the second point mentioned.

However, he quickly regained his senses after only a moment and hurriedly replied:

"Luo Sha still has a daughter and a son left in the village."

Since they're not their own descendants, Konoha can take them if they want.

Minato nodded slightly, indicating his satisfaction.

“Bring them both here and have them sign the alliance agreement.”

Ebizo understood immediately and gave a wink to the crowd below.

Upon receiving the order, the people of Sunagakure immediately sprang into action and rushed off to find Temari and Kankuro.
