Chapter 276: Kazekage Ninja- - 65: How Many Floors Can a Bag of Rice Carry (2)
"This isn’t negotiation—you’re just turning Amegakure into Konoha’s puppet!"
Inside the negotiation tent, Yahiko flung the treaty into the air, the papers fluttering down like dead leaves.
Danzo Shimura didn’t even blink. He looked at Yahiko with that same cold, unreadable stare and spoke in a slow, measured tone.
"So, Leader Yahiko, you refuse these terms?"
"Absolutely not!"
Yahiko’s answer was firm, each word sharp as a blade.
Behind him, Nagato stood silent, determination etched on his face. Kijima looked like he wanted to speak, but the words died in his throat.
"If that’s your decision, there’s nothing left to discuss. The war begins now."
Danzo tossed out the words as if he were ordering tea, turned, and strode away without a backward glance.
"Let’s go! Back to base—we prepare for battle," Yahiko growled, jaw clenched.
He pushed aside the tent flap, Nagato and Kijima right behind him—and froze.
The ground outside was a massacre. The twenty ANBU jōnin he’d brought as bodyguards lay sprawled in pools of blood, their bodies twisted and lifeless. At the center, a tall, powerful ninja flicked blood from his blade. Up on the ridge, the valley was crawling with Konoha shinobi.
