Seventh Reincarnation
The Five Kage Summit Ended

The Five Kage Summit conference room.

"really. We will allocate Bijuu according to his strength. But there's a price you have to pay anyway if we give it for free, you'll think we have an ulterior motive."

Ars represented Hashirama speaking, as Madara was not fit to negotiate.

"Not free?" Hashirama turned his head to see Ars, he intended not to charge a penny.

"Of course, even if we give free, they may not be willing to accept."

"Which Ars says is right, you better shut up, Hashirama."

Madara is upset that Hashirama really intends to give Bijuu for free!

"Ugh."

Scolded by Madara, Hashirama subdued depression. He did not show the dignity and majesty of the Hokage at all.

(Luckily, these negotiations were not left to Hashirama. Otherwise, it would be too detrimental to Konohagakure Village.) Thought Ars while observing the other Kage reactions.

Then he mentioned the price the Kages had to pay to get Bijuu.

Money is a key resource for a country to thrive. Konohagakure Village has just been established, and requires a lot of capital. In addition, Konohagakure Village did not lack natural resources, so Ars chose to exchange Bijuu for money.

Hearing how expensive Bijuu he captured, Hashirama was astonished and wanted to lower the price, but Madara detained him.

Ars completely replaced Hashirama as negotiator.

Although the price offered was so expensive, the Kages heard quietly. They are supported by large countries, the amount of money is still within their scope.

"In our village, there are temple guards who continue to seal Bijuu down the generations. Since we already have one, we don't need it anymore."

First Kazekage rejected the offer of Konohagakure Village.

The other Kage did not interrupt and let him speak until it was done.

"In exchange, we want compensation, to join this agreement. How's it?"

"What do you want?" Asked the First Raikage without changing his facial expression.

"Our country is surrounded by sand. Therefore, we would like to request from Konohagakure Village to share a little of its fertile land with us, instead of giving us Bijuu and other countries only need to hand over 30% of your Bijuu price to us."

After the First Kazekage finished his terms, it angered the other Kage.

"Don't mess around, Kazekage!" The First Raikage said with a red face in anger.

"What--?!" First Tsuchikage hit the table.

"You're overreacting, Kazekage!" Mizukage First glared.

"Calm down, Madara. Let Kazekage finish his words."

Hashirama hastily calmed Madara who had activated the Sharingan.

How could Madara not be upset? His territory wanted other countries to take, he could not wait to slaughter the First Kazekage.

Under the anger of Kage and Madara, the First Kazekage remained calm, but both of his guards stood guard in case of conflict.

"I won't sign this peace treaty unless you agree to my terms!"

"My country is in a barren desert!"

"It is only natural to use our Bijuu power as an advantage in the treaties of the four great nations!"

First Kazekage remained firm on his terms.

"The four of us can join forces and destroy the Wind Nation (Kaze no Kuni)!" The First Mizukage blatantly threatened.

The atmosphere of the conference room was very tense.

the Five Kage Summit that originally discussed the peace agreement has now turned into this.

*bAM*

Hashirama broke the silence by hitting his head on the table.

"What--!"

Madara wanted to stop his friend's humiliating behavior, but Ars waved his hand while shaking his head.

Madara pondered for a moment, and chose not to interfere.

On the other hand, the other Kage saw Hashirama.

"It's true we never got along in the first place. But each of us has done our best to protect our descendants and our clan."

"Although so, perhaps, time has still not given us much choice. And now, today, even though the five countries are gathering, I don't know when we can be like this until when, or whether we can survive or not."

"But I have a dream, if one day in the future, there comes a time when all of us Shinobi can work together and help each other in one heart, without thinking about differences."

"That's... My dreams for the future."

Without raising his head from the table, Hashirama spoke sincerely.

"Hashirama..."

Madara did not expect their childhood dream to be realized Hashirama.

(Hashirama does have the charisma of a leader) Ars thought.

"I ask you to take the first step for the dream from today!"

"So please, please, please... For our descendants. Now is the time to let go of all the suffering, pain, and frustration we endure as Shinobi and move towards our true dreams!"

Hashirama's words were so sincere that it touched the other Kage.

...

The Five Kage Summit ended with the results of the five major countries agreeing to a peace agreement.

Hashirama allocated the captured Bijuu to the other Kage except for the First Kazekage who refused to make the purchase.

In fact, the First Kazekage also wanted Bijuu, as the owner of Ichibi (Tore One), he knew how powerful Bijuu was as a tool on the battlefield. But there was no other choice, Sunagakure Village was too poor, so he chose fertile land instead of Bijuu.

Kirigakure Village bought Sanbi (Three Tails) and Rokubi (Six Tails). Iwagakure Village bought Yonbi (Four Tails) and Gobi (Five Tails). Kumogakure Village bought Nibi (Two Tails), Shichibi (Seven Tails), and Hachibi (Eight Tails).

As for the strongest Bijuu, Kyubi (Nine Tors) remains the property of Konohagakure Village.

Although Raikgae First wanted to buy Kyubi, Madara refused without Hashirama's consent. He did not want Konohagakure Village to be the only village that did not have Bijuu.

After the Five Kage Summit was completed, the other Kages became curious about Ars' background.

Hashirama agreed to give fertile land on the border between the Fire Nation and the Wind Nation to the First Kazekage. But the other Kage refused to give 30% of the Bijuu price they bought.

Just when the situation was deadlocked, Ars showed up and paid all the money the other Kage had to pay to the First Kazekage.

Not only the Kage, but Madara and Hashirama were surprised by Ars' wealth which was able to rival the great country.

The five Kage Summit ended well.

...

Then Ars took Madara and Hashirama flying into the air under the gaze of the Kage and his bodyguards.

This was at once a demonstration of his strength, so as not to have any ill intentions towards Konohagakure Village.

"Wow, Ars, you're very rich. Where do you have that kind of money?"

After there were only the three of them, Hashirama asked the question he had withstood from earlier.

Despite being quiet, Madara also looked curious

"Don't be too surprised. I have lived for over 800 years in this world. Of course my accumulated wealth is very abundant." Ars said lightly as if it wasn't a big thing.

"So so... Considering you've lived that long, it's no surprise you've accumulated a lot of wealth." Madara nodded in understanding.

"Thank you, Ars."

"Why are you suddenly thanking me, Hashirama?"

"Thank you, everything went well. Without you, the other Kage would not pay 30% of the money from the sale of Bijuu to Kazekage. Your generous actions have brought peace!"

Hashirama was amazed at Ars' generous attitude.

"I hope so too..." Ars muttered slowly.

He knew this peace agreement would not last too long. After all, the human heart may be the hardest to see in this world.
