Chapter 197 The Hidden Rain Village and the Demigod

Jiraiya glanced at the two apprentices in front of him, then at Byakuya and the Fourth Raikage in the distance, and said slowly: "Byakuya Jounin, Konoha promises to stop this war."

It was not difficult for Jiraiya to agree to peace.

Konoha itself is on the defensive side in this war. If Kumogakure Village had not attacked Yugakure Village, Konoha would not have been forced to join this war.

As for what the Fourth Raikage said, Jiraiya had never heard of the fact that Konoha had assassinated senior Yugakure officials, but he did not rule out the possibility.

He and Sarutobi-sensei never used assassination, but Danzo and Orochimaru did not necessarily do so.

After hearing that Jiraiya was willing to end the war, Byakuya nodded slightly, then looked at the Fourth Raikage not far away, and said lightly: "Jiraiya Jonin has agreed, where is the Fourth Raikage? ?”

Seeing everyone's eyes falling on him, the Fourth Raikage's face became gloomy and uncertain, and then he spoke reluctantly:

"Kumogakure also promised to stop the attack, and I will issue an order for all Kumo ninja to withdraw from the Country of Fire."

Seeing that the Fourth Raikage was also willing to negotiate, the tense atmosphere at the scene eased a lot. If we could use this opportunity to end the war, it would be a good result.

Byakuya smiled, and after forming two clones with his hands, he walked towards Jiraiya and the Fourth Raikage. He stretched out his hand and said:

"I just like obedient ninjas. Why can't everyone sit down and talk with Qi Qi?"

Jiraiya held Bai Ye's hand, and through physical contact he felt the huge chakra in Bai Ye's body. This level of chakra was not inferior to him.

Although the Fourth Raikage was a little reluctant, he still held Byakuya's hand.

At this time, Bai Ye said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Lord Raikage, let me tell you a secret quietly. In fact, I let my guard down in the battle just now. My worst skill is Taijutsu."

Hearing this, the Fourth Raikage was startled, not knowing whether to believe Byakuya or not.

After forcibly pulling the two of them towards the center of the field, and forcibly shaking hands to make peace, Bai Ye nodded with satisfaction and immediately returned to Yahiko.

Yahiko asked nervously: "Byakuya, what should we do next?"

Bai Ye rolled his eyes, and then said: "Of course it is to host the peace negotiation ceremony. Aren't you always responsible for this aspect? Why do you ask me?"

Yahiko was stunned at first, then said awkwardly: "That's true, I almost forgot, but after our intervention this time, can Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village really achieve peace?"

"Of course not, we just forcibly stopped the war between them. Even without our participation, the war would end within half a year. We just accelerated the process."

Bai Ye explained to Yahiko.

Yahiko's face changed slightly, and then he said: "In this case, our interference will be useless, whether there is Akatsuki or not."

Bai Ye shook his head and said: "There are still some differences. At least the Hidden Rain Village has earned enough money, and peace has come a few years earlier."

"Don't forget, if we were not here, the Hidden Rain Village would still be in civil strife."

Hearing this, Yahiko took a deep breath and said: "Bai Ye, you used to oppose the organization's ideas, but I didn't expect that I would be the one who hesitated now."

"After becoming the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, I may not be as pure as before."

Bai Ye said with some emotion: "This is the price of growth. Boss Yahiko, go to represent Akatsuki to participate in the negotiations between Konoha and Kumogakure."

Yahiko nodded sharply, and then walked towards Jiraiya and the Fourth Raikage.

...

The center of the battlefield.

The representatives of Kumogakure, Yugakure and Konoha sat in the position of earth escape manufacturing, discussing how to end this battle and how to balance the interests of Konoha and Kumogakure.

The three of them may not be able to reach a peace agreement, but they can also have an impact on the future formal peace talks.

However, the ninjas present were most concerned not about the three leaders, but about Bai Ye, who had just appeared from the sky and stopped the war with his own strength.

The ninjas of Konoha were not unfamiliar with Bai Ye, the young jonin of Yugakure.

Bai Ye was a disciple of Hanzo of the Salamander and one of the senior officials of Yugakure. He had shown the strength of a jonin when he was in Konoha, and now he could compete head-on with the Fourth Raikage.

Although the Kumo Ninjas met Bai Ye for the first time, they deeply engraved Bai Ye's figure in their minds.

Bai Ye's behavior today was too dazzling. Even if the other four Kages arrived in person, they would not be able to show such a tough attitude in front of the Raikage.

And Bai Ye showed such a tough attitude not to grab land or to compete for commissions, but just to promote peace between the two major ninja villages.

These actions undoubtedly reminded everyone of Hanzo of the Salamander more than 20 years ago.

At that time, Hanzo of the Salamander was young and promising. He once led the Hidden Rain Village to openly oppose the five major ninja villages. Although he failed in the end, he also gained the reputation of "demigod".

This is also one of the reasons why the Hidden Rain Village was not declared war in the Third Ninja World War.

Now, the Hidden Rain Village has a second demigod-like figure, and this time, they came with a team.

In the crowd, Nara Shikaku looked in the direction of Bai Ye from time to time and frowned secretly.

Akimichi Choza noticed Shikaku's frown and said while eating jerky: "Shikaku, isn't it a good thing that the war has stopped? Why are you so sad?"

"The end of the war is of course a good thing, but have you noticed those Akatsuki ninjas?"

"They are very strong, but is there any problem?"

Shikaku sighed softly and said: "These people have shown the strength of elite jonin and even comparable to the five shadows. With so many masters together, do you think they will be willing to stay in the small country of rain?"

Akimichi Choza took a bite of barbecue and said: "Go on."

Seeing that Akimichi Choza used his analysis as a side dish, Shikaku was a little helpless, but he continued to analyze:

"The Hidden Rain Village has far surpassed the limit of the Rain Country. Next, they will either expand to the small countries around the Rain Country or launch a war against the big countries."

"They intervened in the war between us and the Hidden Cloud Village this time. On the one hand, they received the commission from Master Jiraiya, and on the other hand, they also wanted to make the Hidden Rain Village famous and prepare for the subsequent expansion of the Hidden Rain Village."

"Even if we didn't send a letter, the Hidden Rain Village would definitely interfere in this war."

"But I didn't expect that the Hidden Rain Village didn't take advantage of the chaos to annex the small countries such as the Grass Country, but promoted peace between us and the Hidden Cloud Village, and made the Hidden Rain Village famous."

"It won't be long before those villages threatened by the five big countries will definitely surrender to the Hidden Rain Village..."

Having said this, Shikaku did not continue, but looked in the direction of Bai Ye, his eyes full of fear.

Because the Hidden Rain Village seemed to help Konoha, but in fact it threatened Konoha's long-term interests.

Bai Ye also noticed Shikaku's gaze and responded with a half-smile.
