Chapter 509: Revisiting Familiar Grounds
The next day, the surrender negotiations went smoothly.
The two Akatsuki shinobi could hardly believe it. There were no arguments between the two sides—everything was so harmonious that it almost felt unreal.
It wasn't until Yahiko signed and sealed the documents that they finally snapped out of their daze.
Tucking the documents into his chest, Yahiko led the group back to the inn.
Tomorrow, they would be leaving again!
Fortunately, this time, they wouldn't be going alone. Nawaki and Minato would be leading the Konoha forces alongside them.
As for the army's objective, it was, of course, the Land of Wind and the Land of Lightning.
According to their agreement, Akatsukigakure would also dispatch troops, forming two joint forces to launch attacks on both Wind and Lightning.
Meanwhile, the reinforcements Tsunade had requested from the Fire Daimyō would soon be deployed to the territories conquered by the Akatsuki forces.
With such a vast territory under their control, Konoha simply didn't have enough manpower, so they had no choice but to request additional forces from the Daimyō.
The Fire Daimyō was more than happy to oblige.
