Daily Life of the Third Hokage

The three generations of the Han Dynasty were in a state of panic.

The Third Kazekage Takumi fell into deep thought. He knew that what Orochimaru and others said was not without reason.

Konoha sent the successor of the Hokage to intervene in the war, and it was impossible for him to return empty-handed.

However, the pain in his heart and the hatred for Yuyin made it difficult for him to make a decision easily.

Takumi frowned and said in a heavy tone: "Konoha ninjas, I understand your intentions. But this war is not only about casualties, but also about dignity and honor."

(I know what you Konoha mean, but not only did many people die in Sand Village, but we will lose face if we don't fight now.)

Orochimaru was silent for a moment, then said: "I know your dilemma, Lord Kazekage.

However, the cost of war is huge, both in manpower and material resources.

We should find a solution acceptable to both sides, rather than letting the war continue to rage."

(Orochimaru means: I see through your cards, brother. Don't pretend, you can't hold on anymore, just tell me what conditions you want for a ceasefire)

Takumi fell into deep thought, his eyes swept back and forth between Orochimaru and the others. After a moment, he said, "You have a point, but it's not easy. Yugakure must pay for their actions."

(Even if you are right, so what?

We can call for a truce, but Yugakure beat us, we can't just let it go, otherwise we will lose face in Sunagakure.)

Orochimaru nodded and said, "We understand your request, Lord Kazekage. Yugakure's responsibility cannot be avoided. We will convey your position and seek a fair solution."

(Brother Kazekage, I understand. It is Yugakure's responsibility. It is Yugakure's responsibility.

I will convey your request here. As for what they say, I can't guarantee it. . )

Jiraiya added at the right time: "Peace talks may be a feasible way to let representatives of both sides sit down and discuss solutions together."

(Since you are willing to talk, let us facilitate your negotiations.)

Tsunade added: "This is for the dead and for future peace."

The Third Kazekage Takumi's expression gradually became firm: "Okay, I will consider your proposal. But we will also be prepared to prevent the other party's betrayal."

This is to remind Orochimaru that we will maintain the original battle plan. After all, they attacked us while I was at the Five Kage Talks last time.

Orochimaru said: "Thank you for your understanding, Lord Kazekage. We will do our best to work hard for peace."

Chiyo wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her voice was a little helpless: "Maybe... we should listen to their suggestions."

What can she do? The Kazekage is ready to negotiate.

Ebizo frowned, but finally nodded.

Seeing this, Orochimaru continued, "We should try to organize a peace meeting, let the representatives of both sides sit down and discuss a solution together."

(Since you all agree, let's start to act according to the plan.)

Jiraiya added, "We Konoha are willing to act as mediators to ensure the smooth progress of the talks."

(We Konoha are mediators, please give us some face)

Tsunade said, "This is the best explanation for the deceased."

The Third Kazekage Takumi raised his head, his eyes gradually became firm: "Okay, we will consider your proposal. But I also have conditions, Yuyin They must be held accountable for their actions."

(Okay, okay, go ahead. In a word, Yugakure must pay the price.)

Orochimaru nodded and said, "This is a reasonable request. We will convey it to Yugakure.

Then don't take the initiative to create conflicts on the Sunagakure side for now. We will also communicate with them on the Sunagakure side."

(I know, I know, I'll tell them. Brother, don't take action first. Everything will wait for us to communicate.)

-----------------

Orochimaru left the Sunagakure camp. His steps seemed a little heavy with a solemn look on his face.

Although the Third Kazekage Takumi agreed to let himself and others negotiate under the pressure of Konoha, Orochimaru had a hunch that the Sunagakure side would put forward some inappropriate conditions to create difficulties.

He was well aware of the difficulty of this mediation task, and he also understood that the conflict between the two sides had intensified to the point where it was difficult to reconcile.

On the way out of the camp, Orochimaru's thoughts surged like a tide.

He recalled the fierce debate with the Third Kazekage and others just now

, both sides held their own positions, and neither was willing to give in easily.

The sneak attack of Yuyin undoubtedly brought a heavy blow to Sunagakure. Chiyo lost her son and daughter-in-law, which filled her heart with grief and anger. Orochimaru could understand her feelings, but if the war continued, it would only bring more pain and loss.

The most important thing was that Sunagakure lost face. In the sneak attack of Yuyin, Sunagakure was caught off guard on one hand, and on the other hand, in the battle between Sunagakure and Yuyin, Sunagakure was actually at a disadvantage.

For Sunagakure, who wanted to hang one of the five major hidden villages in the ninja world every day, the five major ones were beaten by a small village, and it was a "rabble" composed of mostly wandering ninjas.

For them, it was a great shame and humiliation, and they would not be human if they did not take revenge.

It was easy to make Yuyin cease fire, and it was also easy to make Sunagakure agree to peace talks, but Sunagakure would definitely make the negotiations deadlocked.

He stopped and stared into the distance quietly. He knew that he had to think calmly and find a feasible solution.

Orochimaru began to analyze the current situation. The hatred between Sand Village and Rain Village is deeply rooted, and it is not easy to resolve this hatred.

He needs to consider it from multiple aspects, not only the interests and losses of both sides, but also the peace and stability of the entire ninja world.

This requires the pros and cons of the truce to be laid out first.

Orochimaru first calculated the advantages

First, at the regional stability level, the truce is expected to bring relative stability to the region, reduce conflicts and wars between the two sides, and provide each other with opportunities for peaceful development.

The ninja world needs peace now, which is what Konoha hopes to see, and this is Konoha’s main purpose

Second, in terms of economic exchanges, it is beneficial to promote economic interaction and cooperation between the two sides and strengthen trade exchanges.

In fact, the climate of Sand Village and Rain Village can complement each other. If the two countries strengthen exchanges, it will be a win-win situation.

Third, from the perspective of political relations, it may improve the political relations between the two sides and lay the foundation for further cooperation and consultation.

They are all going to be members of the Ninja Federation in the future, so the general political direction should be consistent. Don't worry about these minor things.

Fourth, in terms of people's lives, it can make people's lives more stable and reduce the pain and losses caused by war.

Civilians are the ones who suffer in war, and it is not easy to reduce the suffering of civilians.
