Naruto: The Strongest Young Master of Thousand Hands

In the following days, facing Konoha's attack, the Sand Ninja had been avoiding fighting, and even gradually retreated.

The battlefield between the two countries extended from the border of the Fire Country all the way forward. After passing the Rain Country and arriving at the border of the Wind Country, the Sand Ninja finally stopped.

After that, the Sand Ninja no longer avoided fighting, and sent ninjas to the Konoha camp, intending to negotiate with Konoha.

This time, the Sand Ninja's Third Kazekage and the siblings Chiyo and Ebizo appeared in person for the negotiations, while Konoha sent Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya and some high-ranking officials, plus Ling Yu to stabilize the morale of the army.

Because Ling Yu had no interest in this kind of bickering and conspiracy, he sat alone under the shade of a tree, guarding the One-Tail Jinchūriki who was tied up.

"Tell me, what conditions do you need to hand over one of them?"

In the tent, the Third Kazekage got to the point and asked Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others.

"It's very simple. I want you Sand Ninja to surrender and compensate Konoha for its losses. Then the One-Tail will be returned to you."

Jiraiya took out the surrender agreement that they had negotiated overnight and handed it over.

"Impossible! You Konoha are thinking too well to make us surrender to the Sand Village just because of the One-Tail. We are not afraid of a head-on confrontation."

The two big words"surrender" on the agreement deeply angered the Third Kazekage. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up angrily.

He was a newly promoted Kazekage and was eager to seize the victory of this war to gain the recognition of the villagers and ninjas of the Wind Country and consolidate his position as the Kazekage.

If Ling Yu had not appeared, they, the Sand Ninja, would have won the last war on the border of the Fire Country, and his goal would have been achieved by then.

But he did not expect the accident to come so quickly. The situation on the battlefield changed drastically in the moment when Ling Yu used the Wood Release.

Not to mention that the One-Tail was captured, in the subsequent battles, Chiyo and Ebizo kept persuading him not to fight Konoha head-on. If he had not known that these two were the advisors of the Sand Village, he would have suspected that these two were colluding with the enemy.

"Hmm? Then what do you want to exchange with us in Konoha for the One-Tail?"

Seeing the excitement of the Third Kazekage, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke up.

"Compensate the Sand Village for three years of income, and then we will withdraw from the battlefield of the Rain Country."

Chiyo stood up and took out a Wind Country income table, put it in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said calmly

"What? You want one ninja for just this little compensation? You Sand Ninjas really underestimate our Konoha."

Upon hearing this compensation condition that was like sending away a beggar, Jiraiya stood up angrily, his face darkening.

The Sand Village is located in the desert, the poorest of the five major countries. Konoha can earn the money that it can earn in a year in just a few months. Now his compensation is just to get one ninja for free.

Besides, the number of Konoha ninjas who died in the war was at least 1,700 or 1,800. This kind of compensation is not even enough to be awarded as pensions to those ninjas who died for Konoha.

"Then add another five years." Having expected this kind of thing, Chiyo raised the price.

"No! Add twenty years and surrender."Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table and said with a firm look in his eyes.

"It is absolutely impossible for us to write a letter of surrender. Even if you send Ling Yu to join the battlefield, we will not surrender. At most, we will perish together with Konoha."

The Third Kazekage was particularly resistant to the word surrender and refused without thinking.

Then, the advisor of Sand Village, Ebizo, stood up and analyzed to Sarutobi Hiruzen and others:

"Now you know what will happen if Wood Release reappears in the Ninja World, right? As long as we use the whole village to hold you back, the other three major countries will surely join forces to attack your Konoha."

"Even if you win us in the end, Konoha will be destroyed by the coalition forces of the three countries. Let's see how you can still laugh then."

"………"After listening to Ebizo's analysis, everyone in Konoha fell silent.

They had considered this before, but putting it on the table would be a stronger deterrent.

"How about this, ten years of income plus the alliance between our two countries."

After scaring everyone in Konoha, Ebizo laughed in his heart and compromised again:

"After we recover the One-Tail, if you, Konoha, still want to deal with any other country at that time, how about we, the Wind Country, provide you with one third of the troops and supplies?"

"Add another five years! We agree."After a long discussion, Konoha finally agreed to the alliance between the two countries.

""Okay!"

Then the two sides submitted the alliance letter. After Ling Yu released the One-Tail back to the Sand Village, Konoha began to withdraw from the border of the Wind Country.

Just as they were preparing to go to support the other two battlefields, the Land of Earth and the Land of Rain also inexplicably began to withdraw.

The reason for the withdrawal of the Rain Country was mainly because Hanzo discovered the news that the Rain Village was robbed, and contacted Ling Yu and his whereabouts, confirming that it was Ling who did it. Hanzo, who was furious, wanted to take advantage of Ling Yu's absence from the front battlefield to launch a general attack, so as to defeat Konoha and force Konoha to pay compensation.

But when he attacked, Mikoto's Susanoo appeared and instantly killed the only two Kage-level warriors in the Hidden Rain Village, breaking Hanzo's plan and causing him to return in defeat once again.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen gathered all the troops and prepared to launch a general attack on the Land of Rain, he also received an important message from Konoha. The

Uzumaki Mizutani was about to collapse, and the seal of the Nine-Tails was about to be broken.

Upon hearing the news, Sarutobi Hiruzen gave up the idea of continuing to fight without caring about anything else. He arranged for Hatake Sakumo to stay behind to watch over the war, and then returned to Konoha with several high-ranking officials and Ling Yu.

………��

A few days later, Sarutobi Hiruzen brought Ling Yu and the others back to Konoha. From a distance, they could see a large group of villagers gathered outside the gate of Konoha.

At this moment, all of them were in high spirits and full of smiles. Although the war was not over yet, the villagers of Konoha still came spontaneously to welcome them, the heroes of Konoha.

"Thank you for your hard work, Hokage!"

"Lady Tsunade!"

"Thousand Hands Lingyu!"

"Senju Lingyu, the hero of Konoha!"

As soon as they entered Konoha, the shouts of the villagers reached their ears.

The name that was shouted the most was Lingyu, because his performance on the battlefield was brilliant, and he reversed the crisis of Konoha time and time again, and he awakened the same Wood Release as the first generation.

Adding these points together, it can be said that his reputation in Konoha has already surpassed the third generation of Hokage. If the next generation of Hokage candidates are to be selected, Lingyu's support rate must be as high as more than 90%.
