Kaito and Ao were very satisfied with this.
In terms of the amount of money and materials, the Kirigakure Village made great concessions, but the benefits in other areas still far exceeded the two's previous expectations.
The assignment of tasks to several small coastal countries actually also contains the meaning of vassalage, but there is no such thing as a clear-cut vassal state in the ninja world, it is more about influence.
Similarly, it does not mean that the civilians of these countries cannot entrust tasks to other ninja villages, but the tasks of the upper-class daimyo and nobles will be given priority to Kirigakure. With the upper class following, the lower-class people will naturally tend to Kirigakure.
This is actually a huge blow to Konoha's control over the sea.
On the other hand, the shadow secret technique that Kaito wanted was also sternly rejected by the other party.
However, Kaito didn't have high expectations for this matter.
The current Konoha really doesn't dare to force the Ino, Shika, and Cho clans to hand over their clan secrets.
Otherwise, these three clans would not have to go to the point of rebellion. Just a slight expression of dissatisfaction or passive resistance could have led to the collapse of Konoha's front line.
On the contrary, Kaito originally just added the "Scroll of Seals" casually.
Unexpectedly, Sarutobi Hiruzen actually agreed in the end.
It's true that the son doesn't feel any pain when he sells his father's land.
Although the 'Scroll of Seals' that Konoha gave to Kirigakure would inevitably be edited.
However, Kaito recited more than a dozen forbidden techniques from the "Scroll of Seals" in one breath, as if he was reading out the names of dishes.
He also said that if Konoha wanted to breach the contract, Kirigakure would consider whether to tear up the contract.
This caused Sarutobi Hiruzen to begin to suspect whether there was a traitor among Konoha's high-level officials.
You know, some of the forbidden techniques mentioned by Kaito have not been mastered by anyone since they were included in the 'Scroll of Seals'. Unless some high-level people have seen the 'Scroll of Seals, it is impossible for others to know these.
However, Kirigakure itself is actually aware that the reason why forbidden techniques are forbidden is that they are either extremely difficult to learn, or the conditions for performing them are harsh and the side effects are huge.
Therefore, even if they obtained a copy of the 'Scroll of Seals', it would only enrich the village's reserves.
It is still unknown when it will actually be used.
As for the last one, the so-called alliance between the two villages.
This was added at the strong request of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Originally, Kaito's opinion was just to sign an armistice treaty.
However, even if it was finally changed to an alliance, the impact was actually not that big.
It is even more impossible for the Kirigakure Village to help Konohagakure send troops just because of the simple word "alliance".
Even on the Kumogakure side, given the upcoming strategies of Kaito and Elder Genji, they would not choose to take the initiative to attack.
As the peace treaty was officially negotiated, Kaito and Ao, along with the three people from Konoha, walked out of the front-line command tent.
Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot be released for the time being.
However, just as they walked out of the tent, they saw several Kirigakure ninjas dragging a whole cart of corpses dressed as Konoha Anbu and walking towards the distance.
"Mirukawa-sama! What is Kirigakure planning to do?!"
Upon seeing this, Tsunade immediately glared at Kaito in front of her.
After more than ten hours of verbal sparring, the people of Konoha have already realized that this overly young brat is the real leader of the Kirigakure front line.
When something like this happened, everyone naturally looked at Kaito, wanting an explanation.
Kaito had also been with them the whole time, so of course he didn't know exactly what had happened.
But he didn't care too much about it.
These corpses were definitely not the Konoha ninjas among the captives. Although there were a few Konoha Anbu among those captives, it was impossible for them to have been detained for several days while still wearing masks.
Kaito simply waved his hand and called over a Kirigakure Ninja who was transporting the corpse.
"Kaneki, come here. What's going on?"
The one-eyed team leader immediately trotted over when he saw Kaito calling him.
However, after arriving, he first subconsciously looked at the three people from Konoha standing beside him, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"Mirukawa-sama."
"It's okay, just tell me what happened."
After hearing this, the ninja named Kaneki continued speaking with some trepidation.
"These people tried to sneak into the camp last night to sabotage it. Many of them were carrying a large number of explosive tags. However, before they could take action, they were discovered and killed by Kisame-sama who was on duty."
"Kisame-sama means that we should send them to the torture squad first to see if we can get any information from their body."
As soon as these words came out.
It was Kaito's turn to look at the three people from Konoha with a smile.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also felt a headache after hearing this. He walked helplessly to the cart where the corpses were placed and lifted the mask of one of the corpses.
But then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned around and said to Kaito and Ao.
"I can confirm that this is not a ninja from Konoha."
Kaito nodded upon hearing this and asked casually.
"I heard that Konoha has an organization called the Root, and they seem to be dressed the same as the Anbu?"
However, when Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, he still shook his head firmly.
"The Root is also a part of Konoha, and these people are not members of the Root."
"All right."
Kaito did not ask any further questions about this.
In fact, the peace talks have been basically confirmed, so it doesn’t matter whether these people are Konoha’s ninjas or not.
Moreover, Kaito himself felt that these people were most likely ninjas from other villages who wanted to disguise themselves as Konoha ninjas in order to disrupt the peace talks.
But he didn’t expect that the other party would have the courage to sneak directly into the Kirigakure camp.
It seems that he doesn't take Kirigakure seriously enough.
However, this is also the reason why Kaito had to set the location of the peace talks in the Land of Whirlpool camp.
One is to put a certain amount of negotiating pressure on Konoha, and the other is to prevent anyone from sabotaging.
It has come to this point, and he doesn't want to create any more complications.
Then he said to Kaneki who was standing beside him.
"Okay, go on and do your thing."
After the ninja left, Kaito turned around and looked at Tsunade and the others.
"Since the matter has been completed, I will not see you off."
"We should be allies next time we meet. I am still looking forward to having a peaceful exchange with an excellent medical ninja like Tsunade-senpai."
However, Tsunade on the opposite side, looking at Kaito who had a gentle smile on his face, just snorted coldly and did not reply.
On the contrary, Utatane Koharu on the side nodded very politely to Kaito, and then walked out of the camp with Tsunade under the guidance of a Kirigakure ninja.
Seeing this, Kaito shook his head and laughed, and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen who was watching the two of them go away.
"Hokage-sama, has Tsunade-senpai always been like this?"
