Chapter 217 (1/2)
Rain Country.
A region bordering the Land of the Earth.
During the fall of the Rain Country and the taking of it under the control of Konoha, Oonoki did not hesitate and introduced troops into it, firmly occupying a quarter of the country's territory.
Oonoki's goal was to benefit from the Rain Country, and Konoha's goal was to stabilize it, but for a while there were no conflicts between them.
However.
Eventually, after about four months, when the situation in the Rain Country had completely stabilized, it was time for a clash between Willow and Konoha.
Not wanting to start a war in the Rain Country, Willow and Konoha entered into negotiations.
Konoha demanded that Willow completely withdraw the troops from the Land of Rain and compensate for all the damage caused to the country during this time.
Oonoki, of course, could not do such a thing.
The negotiations have reached an impasse.
Hokage's office.
”So, the bottom line of Oonoki is the withdrawal of troops from the Land of Rain, and assistance to Konoha in taking control of the liberated territory as soon as possible? At the same time, they demand a fee of two billion Re, for the ”protection” of this territory for us in the past four months?»
Yeruashi smiled as he listened to the results of the negotiations.
From this smile, a cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the Shinobi who was transmitting information about the progress of the negotiations in the Land of Rain: ”Lord Hokage, the Third Tsuchikage Oonoki personally sat at the negotiating table, this put a lot of pressure on our side...»

”There is.»
Shinobi accepted the order and left the Hokage's office.
Yeruashi turned his head to look at Kakashi, who was standing nearby, and said, ” Kakashi, the Hiraishin seal must be moved to a new meeting place.»
”Got it.»
Information about the Hiraishin seals is under the strict control of the Yeruashi, because it is extremely important, because once the enemy manages to get information about the time and place of his movement, it can become a huge threat to Konoha.
Therefore, the question of where and how to use Hiraishin is decided exclusively by Yeruashi, moreover, he usually does not build any exact plans for earlier, but moves when the d.e.s.i.r.e arises.
Only Kakashi is responsible for moving the seals, in absolute secrecy.
Therefore, whoever tries to get information about whether the Fifth Hokage is going to leave Konoha in the near future, it will be an extremely difficult task, and it is impossible to determine the exact time of departure at all.
After Kakashi's departure, Yeruashi signed several more doc.u.ments.
Then he leaned back in his chair, raised his left hand in front of him and shook his palm, under the light of the sunset, the white palm radiated a faint golden glow.
”The Sage's body is almost ready...»
