Chapter 248: Defeat is fine, but there is no compensation!
The old woman Chiyo had complicated eyes.
"In this attack, in addition to the serious damage to the buildings, the village's injuries and losses were not heavy. Most of the ninjas who died were sacrificed to intercept the puppets. Most of the ordinary residents were killed by the debris of the buildings."
This is a classic warning.
It wasn't to kill people, it was to blow up some buildings and send a warning to the Third Kazekage and other villages.
Stop causing trouble, otherwise you will reap the rewards, give money when you should, and pull down when you should.
Otherwise you will regret it.
The Third Kazekage did feel a little regretful. He had known better and would not have questioned it. As a result, the puppet landed in the Suna Ninja Village and used the Suna Ninja Village as a test subject for warning.
"Has the situation on the battlefield changed?"
The Third Kazekage suddenly asked about this.
Chiyo's expression suddenly changed, and she opened her mouth. She didn't know how to report the war to the Third Kazekage, because she had suffered a lot in Snake Pill these days.
The situation is unfavorable?
Seeing Chiyo like this, the Third Kazekage knew that nothing good was going to happen on the battlefield.
So I didn't bother to ask Chiyo any more, I just picked up the scrolls and documents on the table and started reading them.
Since it's hard for you to tell, I'll see for myself.
After quickly flipping through several scrolls and documents, the Third Kazekage's face became increasingly ugly.
If she hadn't known that Chiyo didn't dare to deceive her, the Third Kazekage would have even wanted to ask her how she had suffered such a loss from this kid named Jishimaru.
What the hell, is it necessary to continue this war?
Chiyo sighed inwardly, waiting for the Third Kazekage's questioning.
The war ended like this, and she had an unshirkable responsibility. She underestimated Shenwan.
"How is the material support situation in the village?"
The anger he imagined did not come. The Third Kazekage suddenly asked about this matter. Chiyo was stunned for a moment and answered truthfully:
"It's not good. The village's war preparation materials are being consumed very quickly, but the replenishment speed cannot keep up with the consumption. Coupled with the impact of the war, the prices of various materials have risen rapidly, and we have been extremely affected."
Due to the impact of the war, the prices of various materials have skyrocketed. It is not only Suna Ninja Village that is affected, it can be said that all countries and villages in the entire ninja world are affected by this.
늵木叶껩 is not an exception.
The villagers of Konoha's dislike of war continues to increase. In addition to the sacrifice of many ninjas and the breakdown of many families, the rising supplies are one of the more important reasons.
The things that could be bought with one hundred taels of silver now need to be doubled, and the prices keep rising. The things are not as good as before, but the income has not increased. Who can't stand this?
For a short period of time, the family could endure it and chose to support the village in the war. However, as time passed, the number of people who could not support began to increase, and various complaints began to appear in the village.
Many villagers even began to protest against the war.
Konoha, which is rich in resources and can be completely self-sufficient, has reached such a stage. The situation of Sand Ninja Village can be imagined with the fingers of one's toes.
The Third Kazekage suddenly fell silent, and the anger in his heart dissipated.
He knew how the village's finances were doing, and rising prices made the already poor finances even worse.
"Chiyo."
After a long silence, the Third Kazekage put down the scroll in his pocket and said quietly: "Do you think it is necessary to continue this war?"
Chiyo's heart skipped a beat.
She realized that the Third Kazekage didn't seem to want to continue fighting Konoha because the Suna Ninja Village could no longer hold on.
꿯Looking at Konoha, 꺶can't tighten their belts and continue to fight you, and the advantage is still on Konoha's side. Konoha can fight how they want.
Konoha can continue to fight, but Suna Ninja Village cannot.
The situation in the village is not optimistic, Chiyo admits this, but the war has lasted for almost three years, and if it suddenly ends at this time, the Third Kazekage may have to bear a lot of blame.
And once the war starts, you can't just stop it if you want.
At this stage, Suna Ninja Village wants to stop the war and make peace, but they need to see if Konoha agrees first.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as the fight continues, the final winner must be Konoha. Since the winner is us, why stop the war?
Keep fighting under the pressure!
We will beat you until your Suna Ninja Village cannot hold on any longer, and beat you until your Suna Ninja Village completely surrenders.
This way Konoha can gain more benefits.
"The village can no longer hold on."
The Third Kazekage sighed: "And the old guy of Konoha's Third Hokage is an indecisive guy. The pressure he faces will not be small. If we propose peace talks first, we may be able to reduce a lot of losses for the village. After all, this war........."
Can the village win?
The Third Kazekage did not say this last sentence, because Chiyo knew very well that there was no need to say such words.
In a war, the defeated side has to pay a heavy price, and all kinds of compensation are enough to drink a pot of sand ninja village. If we choose to make peace before the war is won or lost, then the issue of compensation cannot be placed on the agenda. Come to the surface.
We just don’t want to fight, not lose.
So there is no war reparations!
"Would Sarutobi Hiruzen agree?"
Chiyo looked shocked. She didn't expect that the Third Kazekage had already thought of this level.
"You can get in touch first."
After thinking for a moment, the Third Kazekage decided to give it a try. If Konoha is willing to make peace and end the war, then it is not impossible to stop this war.
It is better to make peace midway than to accept the failure of the war and accept heavy war reparations.
The Sand Village has already owed a debt, and the Third Kazekage does not want to bear more debt.
"The Kazekage, let me, the old woman, go to Konoha and let me take the responsibility of the war." Chiyo took the initiative to stand up and take the blame.
When the war fails, someone always takes the responsibility, so Chiyo chooses to do it herself.
The village needs someone to stabilize the situation, and the Third Kazekage cannot be the one to take the blame. Chiyo is the most suitable candidate, and she cannot retire.
The Third Kazekage did not refuse Chiyo's request.
Because he knew that it was better for Chiyo to take the blame than for him.
If he took the responsibility for the failure of the war, it would have a great impact on his reputation.
"No, we can't go directly to Konoha. We need to send someone to the Fire Country's Koname Mansion to apologize to Koname and express our desire to stop the war."
Go directly to Konoha?
Negotiations will definitely be difficult. If we bypass Konoha and go directly to the Fire Country's Koname Mansion, it will be another matter.
Koname definitely doesn't want the war to continue.
