Chapter 810: Fujin's Bizarre Actions!
The two sides started their negotiations just as they previously did. As Konoha predicted, Sunagakure was more resistant to their demands and slowed the talks. With Homura and Koharu easing up the pressure, the Sunagakure side gained more confidence and slowly started to test where Konoha's true limits lay.
Arisa observed, 'Something is different. They seem far more patient and enduring today. Their elders have mellowed down as well. No wonder the council asked us to slow down the talks. Something disadvantageous to Konoha must have happened. I don't know what it is, but it's the best time to check their bottom lines.'
In actuality, the Konoha ninjas were puzzled too. While they planned on letting off the pressure, they didn't plan on doing it suddenly to this extent. It was just that Fujin had asked for the aggressor's role, causing others to anticipate the havoc he'd create and mellow down even more as a precaution.

As the discussions continued, Yura said, "This is unacceptable for Sunagakure. We can't have Konoha interfere in who we select as our Kazekage. That will be too big of an interference in our internal matters. No Sunagakure ninja will endure such humiliation."
In order to ensure that the next Kazekage doesn't make stupid moves like Rasa, Konoha wanted veto power in the appointment of the Fifth Kazekage. While they wouldn't appoint the Fifth Kazekage, they wanted to have a say in whether the one selected by Sunagakure should become the Kazekage.
Seeing how compromising Konoha was during the 4th round, Yura took the opportunity to raise this point. However, before others could reply, they heard, "I'm afraid we must insist."
Everyone's gazes turned to Fujin, who had spoken for the first time. Yura frowned and replied, "Just becau…"
