Konoha: This Uchiha is very stubborn.

Chapter 481 Talks
"Hokage-sama, you are so honored!"

Being praised by Toshiro, Terumi Mei was not embarrassed at all. Instead, she gave Toushiro a wink and then spoke with a smile.

"I came here to see Hokage-sama this time because I have something I want to ask Hokage-sama for help~"

As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when happy events happen. It can be said that Terumi Mei is at the peak moment of her life.

The whole person exudes a temperament from the inside out. Even Toshiro, a man who has seen many two-dimensional wives, was shocked by her.

"Calling me Hokage is too foreign. Xiaomei, you should call me by my name. We are all of the same age, so there is no need to be so formal."

Toshiro did not directly agree to Terumi Mei's offer of help.After all, he was also the Hokage. If any beautiful woman asked for help, he would come down and he would be extremely busy.

"In that case, I won't be polite, Toshiro."

Giving Toshiro a look filled with resentment, Mei Terumi looked behind her, turned around and said:

"Kissame is a rare talent for us Kiri ninjas. He was originally the Master of Samehada after the Watermelon Mountain Blowfish Demon, but..."

Although the words were not finished, the meaning was already obvious, that is, he wanted to get Samehada back from Konoha.

The last time Konoha and the Mist Ninja fought, Akai successfully killed the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon.

Samehada also fell into Kai's hands.

However, this guy had no interest in Samehada and handed it over directly to the village afterwards.

Of course, Toshiro did not treat him badly. Not only did he reward him with a very generous bonus, he also specially arranged for Tsunade to conduct a physical examination on him.

To say that Metkai is indeed a precious beast of Konoha, after so many years of high-intensity training, it is simply not something that ordinary people can bear.

But this guy's physique was really inhuman, and he managed to endure it, but it also left a lot of hidden injuries.

"Dry Kakisame Kisame...?"

After hearing Terumi Mei's request, Toshiro's eyes stayed outside the door, staring at the big man with a pair of small round eyes, staring at Uchiha Itachi.

Unexpectedly, Terumi Mei would bring this guy here when he participated in the Five Kage Conference this time.

"Since it is Xiaomei who speaks, there is no problem, but...when we talk tomorrow, I hope Xiaomei can support the joint appointments I proposed."

It's just a dried persimmon Kisame, which is not unacceptable to Konoha.

Although this guy's strength is good, his shortcomings are also very obvious. On the one hand, his attributes are relatively simple, and on the other hand, he has obvious characteristics of the same shark muscle.

Knowing the opponent's abilities, there are many ways for ninjas to deal with them.

"This is natural. If these terms proposed by Toshiro are endorsed by our five major countries, it will also be a good thing for the ninja world."

With a bright smile, Terumi Mei was very satisfied with Toshiro's agreement to return Samehada.

Not wasting myself, I deliberately picked this time to come over and talk to Toshiro about Samehada.

This is where Terumi Mei is smart.

At this point in time, she asked for Samehada from Konoha, and if nothing else happened, Toshiro was unlikely to refuse her.

"Speaking of which, I don't know how Toshiro came up with these ideas that can reduce everyone's conflicts."

What Toshiro proposed is not very difficult to do, and it is not difficult for the major ninja villages to do it.

But according to Genshi, these terms can reduce many fights between ninjas. I don’t know how Toshiro came up with it.

"It's nothing, I just want to reduce some trouble!"

It's just something like international conventions in the previous life. For this ninja world, I don't know if it has any effect.

After all, this is a world that has been killing each other for thousands of years. It is still a bit of a fantasy to really achieve peace by relying on treaties with some big shots.

With the next day, the Tsuchikage and Kazekage arrived.

On the morning of the third day, in a spacious conference room in a solemn building specially prepared by the Kingdom of Iron, the shadows from the five major countries, witnessed by Mifune, began the second Five Shadows Talk in the world.

"Isn't this loess?"

I didn't expect that the Sandaime Tsuchikage would actually bring him here this time. He hadn't seen him for many years.

Looking at the loess behind Onoki, Toshiro was not restrained by the solemn atmosphere here and greeted the loess very naturally.

"And here, why didn't Raikage's brother come?"

“Did that guy have his own concert?”

"The Yondaime Kazekage, it's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect that when we meet again, we won't be on the battlefield."

"And Yashamaru..."

“This guy’s temperament is really surprising!”

Seeing Toshiro frequently greeting everyone present, Onoki, who was suspicious by nature, couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

This Uchiha guy has a really...different temperament.

There is absolutely no feeling like Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama is first, I am second, and the rest are all rubbish.

Then he turned his attention to the newly appointed Mizukage.

This is also a new face and a woman.

There are also the Kazekage and Raikage.

Looking at the energetic juniors here, Onoki glared fiercely at his son standing behind him.

If this guy hadn't failed to live up to his expectations, how could he be so old and still have to come all the way to hold the Five Shadows Conference? "I believe everyone has different opinions on the several mutual agreements I proposed. It just so happens that everyone is gathered together this time, so we can finalize these things one by one."

"In this way, it will benefit us Konoha, Earth, Thunder, Water, Wind, and the citizens of each country."

After saying hello to a few people he was familiar with, Toshiro didn't hide anything and went straight to the point.

"I have some questions about the Hokage-sama's suggestions regarding trade, prisoners, each village sending envoys to each other, and the so-called principle of compensation."

As soon as Toshiro finished speaking, Raikage, who had the most impatient personality, spoke first.

"If nothing else, each village exchanges prisoners and prisoners. Can you explain this in detail?"

Toshiro's proposal was very sporadic, one of which was about the exchange of captured ninjas, including but not limited to war prisoners, spies, prisoners captured during missions, etc. It could even be exchanged among three parties.

But for these villages, it would be difficult to explain if these people were released and caused secondary harm to themselves.

"This is very simple. Everyone can provide each other with a list of prisoners. I believe that there are prisoners from various villages in our village.

After giving them the most basic survival treatment, we provide each other with a list of names, release the captives through hostage exchange, or even redeem them with money. "

Seeing that no one objected, Toshiro continued:

"As for some more sensitive or valuable prisoners, it is inevitable that everyone will use means to obtain information.

But these people are our companions after all. After their intelligence or secrets have been studied, we might as well leave them alive, even if it prevents them from becoming ninjas. "

"So that they can be each other's bargaining chip and have a chance to go home."

Everyone has been caught by the other party, and it is inevitable to torture the information and study the secrets on them.

But after all this is done, it is also a good thing to save the other person's life so that the other person can reunite with his family.

After all, living is worse than dying.

"The so-called compensation principle requires us to act on this principle when dealing with those small countries?"

As soon as Toshiro finished speaking, the short Ohnoki asked about the compensation principle.

Toshiro proposed a compensation principle.

Conflicts between countries are inevitable. Since there are conflicts, some will suffer and some will take advantage.

The principle of compensation proposed by Toshiro is that if everyone takes advantage of the conflict, they might as well give some benefits that they don't like to compensate the loser.

These interests can be disdainful territory, money, economic interests, etc.

To put it simply, it is to slap the opponent in the face and give a sweet date or consolation prize.

However, in Onoki's view, this kind of thing would be fine as long as the five major countries implement this principle to each other.

Those small countries are weak, so there is no need to give them things even if they don't like them.

"This principle can inhibit the escalation of conflicts."

“There are always various disputes between big countries, between big countries and small countries, and between small countries. These disputes often start from small conflicts, slowly accumulate and escalate, and become large-scale. The conflict eventually turned into a great ninja war."

"Although our strength is strong, we can ignore each other's feelings when dealing with small countries. Those small countries cannot change everything no matter how unwilling they are.

But these people will not forget this unwillingness. As time goes by, this unwillingness will take root and sprout. Finally, we don’t know when, it will take revenge on us in a way we can’t imagine. "

"The reason why all the ninja wars are endless is that these small countries are instigating them in order to retaliate against big countries like us.

If we want to minimize conflict with each other, the feelings of these people cannot be completely ignored.What we compensate may not satisfy the other party, but it will help reduce the probability of these people causing trouble. "

Although it's just a consolation prize, don't underestimate this consolation. It really makes a world of difference.

Revenge is an eternal topic among human beings, and it is also an instinct buried deep in human genes.

Without this consolation prize, the thought of revenge would have lingered in those people's minds.Once they encounter a little spark, they will suddenly erupt like a volcano.

Then give the other person a big surprise.

This kind of thing happens in every ninja war.

These small countries are usually bullied by you and can only swallow the bitter pill silently.

However, there is a saying that goes well: if you don’t retaliate, the time has not yet come.

Whenever a ninja war breaks out, it is when these small countries repeatedly jump between the big countries.

Selling intelligence, leading the party, stabbing people in the back, and other operations are common.

Especially those who are having fun, are caught between the two countries, and suffer from both sides.He will also continue to sell information to the two warring countries.

The purpose is to let the major countries shed more blood so that they can vent their suffering.

Or usually, when you meet a lone ninja, he will sneak up on you for a while, and then blame the other party.

This kind of thing is really not uncommon in the human world.

Giving a consolation prize can, to some extent, soothe the other person's sense of loss and frustration.

Especially when the other person pursues a goal with the expectation of success but ultimately fails to achieve the goal, their sense of self-worth and self-identity may be threatened.

At this time, receiving a consolation prize from others can reduce this sense of threat and relieve the other person's inner pressure and pain.

Although this consolation prize may not make those people feel completely satisfied, it can have a positive effect to a certain extent, helping the other person maintain an optimistic and positive attitude and alleviate the negative impact.
