Seeing his son pass out, Onoki felt a surge of anxiety, but he couldn't do anything.

Uchiha Madara pointed the longsword held by Susanoo at Kitsuchi's back and sneered, gesturing towards Onoki:

"Onoki, if your Iwagakure doesn't admit defeat and surrender, then I'll cut your son in half like a sausage!"

Uchiha Madara's analogy wasn't an exaggeration at all.

Compared to the massive Susanoo, Kitsuchi, lying unconscious under his sword, wasn't that just a sausage waiting to be sliced?

Looking at his only son under Uchiha Madara's sword, Onoki's thoughts raced.

Wasn't it just admitting defeat on behalf of Iwagakure? Anyway, he now ruled over Iwagakure with absolute authority. Even if it was a little embarrassing, those stubborn clan heads and elders would just grumble a few words. Nothing major would happen!

Having decided this, Onoki took a deep breath and shouted towards Uchiha Madara:

"Fine! On behalf of Iwagakure, I surrender to you, Uchiha Madara!"

Uchiha Madara nodded in satisfaction, but the sword in Susanoo's hand didn't relax:

"Very well. Since you've already surrendered, then sign here."

"Sign!?"

"That's right, sign! Onoki, take a good look at your feet, right next to your feet!"

The puzzled Onoki looked down, his pupils constricting.

Because he didn't know when, a piece of paper had appeared beside his feet!

Although most of his attention had been on Uchiha Madara and his son, Onoki hadn't been letting his guard down, right? How could he not have sensed when this piece of paper appeared!?

Uchiha Madara saw the change in Onoki's eyes and sneered mockingly.

The characteristic of White Zetsu was its super strong concealment ability. Secretly placing this prepared paper beside Onoki's feet from underground was simply too easy!

His heart trembled, but Onoki tried not to show it. Bending down, he picked up the paper and carefully read the contents:

"Iwagakure Surrender Agreement and Ceasefire Terms!?..."

That's right, this piece of paper was the ceasefire agreement and surrender terms prepared by White Zetsu early on. The general content was that Iwagakure had been defeated in the war with Amegakure. As compensation for defeat, Iwagakure needed to compensate Amegakure ten billion Ryō, three hundred thousand tons of food, and several tons of copper, iron, and other precious metals. After signing this agreement, it would be announced throughout the entire ninja world. And the signatory was still the leader of Amegakure, Uchiha Madara!

Onoki was furious at that time. He tore the Surrender Agreement and Ceasefire Terms into pieces, his eyes red, pointing at Uchiha Madara and cursing wildly!

"Uchiha Madara! You're damn joking! You made us Iwagakure surrender to you. When did you become the leader of Amegakure?! And you want us to compensate you with so many strategic materials!?"

Picking his ear with his pinky finger, Uchiha Madara said nonchalantly:

"Don't worry about Amegakure. It won't be long before I become the legitimate leader of Amegakure!

As for the defeat you mentioned, this war was started by you Iwagakure, all the way into the Land of Rain, causing irreparable damage to Amegakure. Now that you have been defeated by me, shouldn't you compensate? This is only natural!"

"You… You… You…"

Onoki pointed at Uchiha Madara, speechless.

Compared to the speechless Onoki, Uchiha Madara's words were truly righteous and reasonable. Uchiha Madara felt like he had almost mastered the most powerful ninjutsu, Talk no Jutsu!

The enraged Onoki suddenly lost his energy and sat on the ground, becoming equally unreasonable:

"Sorry, although I am the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, I can't sign this Surrender Agreement and Ceasefire Terms! Because I don't have the authority to sign this. If it's Iwagakure unilaterally admitting defeat, it doesn't matter even if it's announced throughout the ninja world, but I can't guarantee the compensation, because Iwagakure's materials are all provided by the Land of Earth. Without the daimyō's material support and authorization, I can't sign!"

Uchiha Madara was stunned. He didn't expect him to say such interesting words. Then, instead of getting angry, he smiled and nodded repeatedly:

"It sounds... like that's the case. What you said, Onoki, is quite reasonable..."

"That's right, that's it. I can't sign the agreement and terms. Even if you, Uchiha Madara, kill both my son and me here today, you won't be able to do anything!"

This guy had actually started to act shamelessly.

Uchiha Madara stared at Onoki, who was sitting there, and the Susanoo's sword trembled:

"You really are not afraid of me killing your son?"

Onoki closed his eyes and didn't say a word.

In fact, his heart was extremely tense, but at this time, the more tense he was, the more he couldn't show it.

The Sharingan clearly saw the layer of fine cold sweat on Onoki's seemingly calm forehead. Uchiha Madara chuckled mockingly, withdrew the Susanoo longsword, and with a flick of the longsword, sent the unconscious Kitsuchi on the ground flying, landing beside Onoki.

Onoki looked at his son who fell next to him, his heart filled with doubts. Why did he let Kitsuchi go!? Uchiha Madara didn't seem like such an easy person to talk to, right?

Withdrawing his chakra, the dark blue Susanoo gradually dissipated, and Uchiha Madara walked towards Onoki step by step:

"You politicians are truly insidious and shameless. I really hate it, just like I hate Tobirama Senju!

But, Onoki, if you think you can refuse to sign and compensate with these words, you're greatly mistaken!

Anyway, your defeat is obvious. Whether you admit it or not doesn't matter much to me. What I value is the material compensation!

If you don't want to compensate, then I, Uchiha Madara, will personally go to Iwagakure to rob you. If Iwagakure isn't enough, then I'll go to the Land of Earth's daimyō to rob you! I don't believe that I can't find the materials I want after searching the entire Land of Earth!

Of course, you can try to stop me! It's just that I don't know if the already crippled Iwagakure can withstand my massacre!"
