Chapter 120 - Is Jiraiya the First Hokage?
Konoha
The Kumogakure peace delegation had just arrived.
However, instead of a warm welcome, they were met with rotten eggs and vegetables thrown by Konoha's citizens.
Some villagers even hurled insults at them.
One of the Kumo ninjas wiped the egg from his face and shouted in anger, "Is this how Konoha treats us?!"
The Konoha ninjas assigned to receive them sneered, "And how do you think you should be treated? You say you're here for peace talks, but everyone knows the truth. You're here to beg for mercy!"
The Kumo ninja glared at him but didn't respond.
Dodai, the leader of the delegation, frowned and calmed his men.
Their situation was already bad enough. The Fourth Raikage was dead, Eight Tails Jinchūriki was captured, and their Raikage's office had been destroyed.
They had no room to act arrogant.
But the Konoha ninja wasn't done and continued ,"This is not just because you lost the war. Look at the Iwagakure delegation. They also suffered heavy casualties, but they weren't treated like this when they arrived. Have you already forgotten what you did in Konoha a few years ago?"
At the mention of Kumogakure's past, Dodai's expression darkened.
Years ago, when Kumogakure last came for peace talks, they tried to kidnap the Hyūga clan leader's daughter, Hinata.
At that time, Konoha was too weak to retaliate and even handed over Hizashi to Kumogakure for peace.
But now?
Kumogakure had lost everything, and Yuta was the reason for this.
Inside the Hokage Building
The leaders of Konoha, including Jiraiya and Tsunade, gathered for the peace negotiations.
The Kumogakure and Iwagakure delegations were also present.
At the head of the table, Yuta casually tossed aside the peace agreements from both villages and scoffed, "I won't even talk about Iwagakure's proposal. But Kumogakure, have you still not recognized your situation?"
"You offer almost nothing for reparations."
"You want the Fourth Raikage's body back?"
"You want Eight Tails Jinchūriki to be returned?"
Yuta laughed mockingly.
"Do you think this is some kind of joke?"
Dodai took a deep breath and insisted, "We are willing to increase the reparations, but we will not compromise on Lord Raikage's body and Killer Bee!"
Returning the Fourth Raikage's body was a matter of Kumogakure's pride.
And Killer Bee, the perfect Jinchūriki of Eight Tails, was their greatest military asset.
On the other side of the room, Iwagakure's delegation leader, Kurotsuchi, watched Kumogakure with a pitying look.
Before leaving, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki had given him one simple order.
"No matter what conditions Konoha sets, agree to them."
Unlike Kumogakure, Iwagakure understood exactly what kind of monster they were dealing with.
During the battle, out of 5,000 Iwa troops, only about 1,000 made it back home.
The survivors had witnessed Yuta's complete body Susanoo—a giant taller than a mountain.
Some Iwa ninjas had developed PTSD. They were unable to sleep without nightmares.
Many would never be able to fight as ninjas again.
But Kumogakure?
Their entire army was wiped out.
Their current delegates hadn't personally experienced Yuta's power, so they still thought they could negotiate.
Yuta smirked and said, "You won't compromise? Fine."
He turned to the Uchiha Police Force standing nearby and said, "Take these people and lock them up in Konoha Prison. Let them think things over."
The Kumogakure delegates froze in shock. It took them a second to process what they had just heard.
"You can't do this! We are official messengers of Kumogakure!" Dodai shouted in panic.
Yuta's eyes turned cold and he said, "Messengers? Kumogakure doesn't deserve that title."
He still remembered what they had done.
They pretended to negotiate for peace but tried to kidnap a child.
A village of thieves like Kumogakure had no right to be treated with honor.
At this moment, Jiraiya spoke up, "Yuta, don't you think that this is a bit too much?"
Jiraiya frowned, clearly displeased with how things were going.
He was growing more and more worried about Yuta.
'This guy doesn't follow any rules. He does whatever he wants without caring about the consequences. If he truly becomes the "God" of this world, it will be disastrous.' Jiraiya thought.
Yuta glanced at Jiraiya but said nothing.
Instead, he motioned for the Uchiha Police Force to proceed.
The Iwa ninjas watched Kumogakure's downfall with amusement.
Meanwhile, the Konoha elders and clan leaders remained silent.
No one dared to challenge Yuta's decision.
Jiraiya sighed and insisted, "I think we could at least return the Raikage's body to Kumogakure."
"As for Killer Bee, he's still alive, isn't he? He's only controlled by a genjutsu. Keeping him like this doesn't feel right."
"If Kumogakure promises never to use a Tailed Beast for war again, we should consider returning him."
Suddenly!
SLAP!
Yuta threw the peace agreement from Kumogakure right at Jiraiya's face.
The room fell dead silent.
Yuta's sharingan gleamed as he looked down at Jiraiya.
"Return the Raikage's body? Did Kumogakure ever return Hizashi's body?!"
"And Eight Tails Jinchūriki?!"

Yuta's voice was filled with mockery.
Yuta continued, "Even if Kumogakure promises not to use the Tailed Beast against Konoha, what if they use it against another village?"
"Jiraiya, do you really think that you're the First Hokage?"
"Do you actually believe in that same foolish ideology of 'Tailed Beast Balance'?"
Yuta sneered and said, "You idiot."
