Kirigakure Administrative Building.
When Yūsuke arrived, Yagura, Genshin (IMPACT!!), and all the elders of Kiri stood up, respectfully welcoming him.
At this moment, it could be said that if it weren't for Yūsuke, Kirigakure would probably have already ceased to exist in all but name. Now, in the eyes of Yagura and the others, he was undoubtedly the Hero of Kiri!
In fact, if Yūsuke wasn't so uninterested in the position of Mizukage, Yagura would have already offered him the role.
"Yūsuke, this morning, we received a peace negotiation letter from Konoha!" Yagura exclaimed, getting straight to the point.
"A peace negotiation letter?" Yūsuke smiled, "This strategy is not bad."
"Strategy?" Yagura, Genshin, and the others were stunned.
They hurriedly explained the content of the letter.
"This is a letter from Konohagakure proposing peace talks with Kirigakure. Moreover, the letter has already taken a humble stance and offers to compensate our village with a large batch of resources. The requirement is for us to return Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. Perhaps we can use this period of peace to develop rapidly. In the future, we will definitely have absolute influence in the ninja world!"
Yagura didn't quite understand. The conditions offered by Konoha were extremely beneficial for them. Moreover, during the Second Great Ninja War, the major hidden villages had also used such peace treaties for negotiations.
Even if it's just a short period of peace, at the very least, these resources can't be faked.
Yūsuke looked at the Mizukage in astonishment, then shook his head and said:
"With your intelligence... I wonder how you even became the Mizukage." As he tried his best not to call Yagura an idiot, he also thought, 'Thank goodness I'm here! Otherwise, even if I had removed the genjutsu on him, Kirigakure would still fall by his hand.'
"Uh..." Yagura sheepishly scratched his head.
Seeing this, Yūsuke immediately felt that his previous instruction to Yagura to consult him on all important matters was the most correct decision.
"Let me see the letter." He said. Yagura immediately brought over the letter from the desk. After reading it, he smiled, "The negotiation location is a meeting house near the border of the Land of Water and the Land of Fire. The distance is quite far. The negotiation requires me to appear and sign the peace treaty with Konoha, and we need to bring an 'absolutely sincere heart'. They let us decide the time. Hmm, this point shows that they absolutely won't make preparations in advance. A perfect strategy."
Would that Hiruzen guy actively seek peace? Perhaps he would. But that Danzō guy absolutely wouldn't! He's a typical representative of the war hawks. If he can start a war, he definitely won't hold back!
So, on the surface, this is about signing a peace agreement with Kirigakure. But in reality, there's another purpose.
Their objective, Yūsuke could figure out with his eyes closed. It's nothing more than Minato and Kushina.
In fact, Kushina is the most crucial element. Because she is the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki!
The strategy of drawing the tiger away from the mountain... Yūsuke's lips curled slightly, 'Trying to play mind games with me?'
"Send a message back to Konoha." Yūsuke said, "Inform them that Kirigakure agrees. Set the meeting for noon, three days from now. Assure them that Kiri will honor the agreement. The Mizukage and I, along with one other, will attend — three people in total. Also, remind them to adhere strictly to the rules."
"Yūsuke, you agreed?" Yagura asked in astonishment, "Didn't you just say this was Konoha's strategy?"
"Next, I'm going to give you a lesson on turning the tables." Yūsuke said, pinching the bridge of his nose. Dealing with this teammate was exhausting, "By the way, spread the news that Konohagakure has actively sought peace talks with Kirigakure. Ensure all other hidden villages know about this within three days."
"Yes!" Yagura immediately obeyed.
At this moment, it seemed as if Yagura were the subordinate and Yūsuke the Mizukage.
"Yūsuke, besides you and me, who else should we bring?" Yagura asked.
"You'll know when the time comes." Yūsuke smiled.
Then, he left.
Heading to the meeting house to sign the peace agreement — it wouldn't be too much to bring a maid, would it?

He returned to his residence, tired from the past two days of running around.
"Hubby~" As soon as he entered the room, Mei quickly walked out from the bedroom. "I thought you'd be by that vixen's side every day!"
She had learned a day ago that Kushina Uzumaki had been captured and brought to Kiri, hence her hint of jealousy.
'Vixen? Good nickname.' Yūsuke gently pinched her cheek. Bringing her face closer, he lightly kissed her lips and smiled, "How could that be possible? She's just my servant."
Mei nodded obediently, then said somewhat shyly, "Hubby... I've missed you~"
Hearing this, his appetite was greatly stimulated!
How could anyone resist this?!
