"It seems that the ones who truly lack sincerity for peace are not us from Iwagakure, but you from Sunagakure. If we were to agree to all these terms, Iwagakure wouldn't just be weakened—it might as well be destroyed!"
Zǐ's voice wasn't as booming as Ōnoki's, but every word carried immense weight and authority.
Jinghang didn't respond immediately. Instead, he spread his hands casually, signaling Zǐ to continue. He hadn't expected Iwagakure to agree to everything anyway. Negotiations were always about asking for the sky and settling for the ground. The goal was to secure the bottom line while maximizing gains.
*"First, Lord Jinghang, you mentioned punishing war criminals. In essence, this means executing Ōnoki. True, Ōnoki is indeed the one who initiated this war. But let's not forget, he was once the Tsuchikage of our village. Historically, no Kage has ever been executed, regardless of their crimes.
Ōnoki holds immense prestige in Iwagakure. His execution would undoubtedly provoke widespread outrage across the village, reigniting conflict and negating the very peace we all desire."*
Hearing this, Koharu Utatane nodded in agreement.
