Chapter 248: Persuading Konoha Civilians to Surrender
"Damn Sandaime, damn ninja clan! They are just a bunch of parasites! Trash! Bastards!"

In Konoha's command center, a group of civilian jonin were discussing the details of the retreat and escape. Whenever they talked about projects that required supplies, they couldn't help but burst into cursing.

The one who cursed the most was Might Guy. He was a straightforward man. As much as he believed in the Third Generation and the Hokage in the past, now he hates the Third Generation, the Hokage, and all the ninja clans.

These civilian ninjas sacrificed their lives for Konoha, but Konoha not only abandoned them, but also all the civilians, leaving their loved ones to die, and taking away all the necessary supplies, making it difficult for them to save themselves.

Now that Konoha has lost its glory, these civilian ninjas have finally taken off the tinted glasses created by the Third Generation, and even put on another pair of tinted glasses to look at Konoha. They finally discovered that Konoha has never been their Konoha, but the Konoha of the Ninja Clan.

Amidst the cursing, they still have to face their current predicament.

The 20% of people (the ninja clan) took away 80% of Konoha's supplies, and the remaining 80% of people could only control 20% of the supplies, most of which were used to strengthen the defense line and buy time for everyone to escape.

"Since there is no other way, why not surrender!"

Just as the civilian jonin were arguing fiercely, a voice suddenly sounded in the command center.

"We want to surrender, but there is no way to survive!"

Hearing this, a civilian jonin said helplessly.

The other civilian jonin were also extremely helpless.

With their faith collapsed, surrender was no longer a big deal to them. As long as they could survive, their loved ones could survive, and hundreds of thousands of Konoha civilians could survive, anything would be fine.

But unfortunately, the previous three generations had already tried, and there was no chance for negotiation. Moreover, their enemies were skeletons, dead people, who were naturally opposed to the living. Even if they really accepted their surrender, how could they guarantee the future?

"How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it?"

Looking at the helpless faces of the civilian jonin, Fusu said with a smile.

"How do you know they haven't tried it? The third generation, Gou Ri, has already tried it, otherwise there wouldn't be so many deaths~"

A jonin heard this and said sadly. However, when he looked at the person who spoke, he was stunned.

This was a man they had never seen before, and they were also sure that he was not from Konoha.

The other civilian jonin also noticed Fusu, the uninvited guest, and became secretly alert.

The ninjas in the command center were all civilian jonin. This person had never existed before, and they had never seen this person's clothes before.

"How should I know?" Looking at the vigilant eyes of these people, Fusu smiled confidently: "If Konoha surrenders or negotiates, how could my subordinates not inform me!"

"Swish!" As soon as Fusu finished speaking, a group of civilian jonin surrounded Fusu.

"So it was you who created the army of the dead. What was your purpose?"

Might Guy glared at Fusu and asked. If there hadn't been this war, Konoha in their hearts would still exist, and they wouldn't be facing the current predicament.

If we kill this man now, even though the Konoha in our hearts will not come back, it will undoubtedly solve the current dilemma.

"Kai, don't be impulsive! Everyone put away your weapons!"

Another jonin quickly spoke to Might Guy and asked the other civilian jonin to put away their weapons.

This is an old man in his sixties, and he obviously has more prestige among this group of civilian jonin.

Compared to Might Guy's straightforward thinking, he is much more rational and knowledgeable.

Since the other party dared to appear here so blatantly, they must be sure to leave. The consequence of impulsiveness is likely to be an immediate war. Even if they are lucky enough to kill the person in front of them and solve the current dilemma, what will happen next! What will they do after those ninjas come back? I am afraid that no one left behind will be willing to continue to obey them.

They could either continue to be enslaved by the ninja clan unwillingly, or fight against those ninja clans, or leave Konoha. Those ninja clans would surely not let them leave easily, and would target them openly or covertly in the future.

Now, for them, Konoha is gone after all, and their predicament remains. They might as well listen to what the man in front of them has to say, strive for some conditions, and avoid further casualties.

"Sir, we do want to surrender, but what can you give us after surrendering? If we are to be treated like cattle and horses, we would rather fight."

The Jonin who stopped Might Guy asked Fusu in a serious tone.

Fusu smiled and said: "Before we discuss the terms, you might as well listen to what happened before and my original plan!"

"I'd like to hear the details!" Lingdu Jonin said immediately, looking like he was all ears.

The other civilian jonin had the same expression.

Fusu: "Just four days ago, Asuma Sarutobi and I made an agreement. As long as someone from Konoha can reach the central tower of the Death Forest within seven days, you don't even have to defeat my men in the Death Tower. I will let Konoha go. Otherwise, if you can't reach the central tower of the Death Forest within seven days, then Konoha will be destroyed."

"Why did you make such an agreement?" Upon hearing this, Might Guy couldn't help but asked loudly.

Because of a promise, so many people died, and now the Konoha in their hearts has collapsed.

Hearing this, Fusu pretended to think for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "Because I have nothing to do. I need to have some fun before I finish the preparations!"

"."After hearing Fusu's words, these civilian jonin fell silent.

Might Guy wanted to speak, but was stopped by Lingdu Jonin's eyes. He asked Fusu, "What preparations?"

Fusu said: "It's okay to tell you. I have mobilized the army to occupy this world. The number of the vanguard troops is one million. The preparation time is seven days. The number of troops to be mobilized later depends on the situation."

"But now I've changed my mind! Because I've found a more interesting game! If you surrender to me, I will not only let the rest of Konoha go, but I won't need you to give me anything. Not only that, I will give you a place to survive, and I will also provide you with a large amount of supplies and weapons, making Konoha richer than it used to be. I will give you the strength to go to war against those ninja clans, and I will also allow you to share the spoils, and even let you shelter more people."

"And all you have to do is let me see a wonderful revenge that satisfies me! And obey all my orders from now on!"

"."After hearing this, all the civilian jonin were silent, quickly analyzing the truth and feasibility of Fusu's words in their minds.

"How can we trust you?" it was the elder Ling Du who asked.

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not, because you are really weak, so weak that I can easily kill you!" Fusu shrugged. "I'll give you one day to think about it. After one day, give me the answer to decide life or death. Of course, you can also gamble and see!"

After saying this, Fusu disappeared.

Looking at the disappearing Fusu, all the civilian jonin turned their eyes to Lingdu, obviously wanting to listen to his decision.

"Don't look at me, I can't tell the truth from the false! You decide for yourselves! I can only remind you that we don't need to come up with anything! Let's talk about the future later!" Ling Du shrugged when he saw everyone's gaze and said simply.

Hearing this, all the jonin fell into deep thought.

It seemed that Ling Du didn't say anything and let them decide whether to stay or leave, but in fact his meaning was very clear.

Although it was impossible to confirm whether the mysterious man's words were true or not, their strength in the Death Forest alone was enough to make them unable to resist, otherwise those ninjas would not have abandoned them and fled.

Now, not only do they not have to give anything if they surrender, but they will get more, even more than Konoha once did.

Ling Du said that he would talk about the future later. Isn't it just a reminder for them to surrender first, wait until they get supplies and discern the enemy's strength, and then make a decision.
