This battle would end in destruction. There was no need for Konoha to fight hard in this grueling conflict, so they retreated strategically. But the villagers of Konoha didn't care about that. If they retreated, Konoha would lose this fight.

They were disillusioned. Danzo Shimura had initiated a sneak attack; if he succeeded, he would win. Now that Konoha's large forces had retreated, they had suffered a loss.

If you praise someone, it can backfire. Where have these families who came from the war years seen such tactics? They suddenly learned more about Yuya.

In Yuya's "one chat," he told Nara Shikaku that he got inspiration from the Hyuga clan's attempts to annoy him, which led to their own paralysis. Why didn't we think of this before? Other families also began glaring at the Hyuga clan, scrutinizing what they had done.

Yuya watched the unfolding drama with amusement, thinking, "If the Hinata clan enjoys irritating me, then I will return the favor. Let's see who can be more vexing."

In early February of Konoha's 21st year, another naval battle broke out between Kirigakure Village and the Country of Uzumaki. Kirigakure sunk five large ships, while the Uzumaki Country lost three. In the Country of Uzumaki, over 300 ninjas died, while Kirigakure suffered more than 100 casualties.

When the news reached Konoha, the villagers felt indifferent. However, Mito Uzumaki could not remain still. In the middle of the month, Uzumaki Mito publicly declared in the Konoha Shinobi Newspaper that the Country of Uzumaki could no longer continue fighting Kirigakure Village.

She publicly reprimanded the elders of the Country of Whirlpool, stating that most of the casualties were ninjas from civilian backgrounds. Few of the nobles from the Uzumaki clan had perished. If the elders of the Uzumaki clan wanted to continue the fight, they should send their children to the battlefield.

Once this article was published, it caused an uproar within the Country of Whirlpool. Although Mito Uzumaki had little influence in Konoha, she still held sway in the Country of Uzumaki. After all, she was married to the God of Ninja, and the founder of the Kingdom of Whirlpool was revered like a deity.

Now, the wife of this god was speaking out publicly, and her points were valid. Those who had always opposed ending the war were now called to task: why weren't their children on the battlefield? They were the ones making sacrifices, yet the nobles did not share in the tolls.

At the end of February, Yuya came forward and invited the Third Mizukage of Kirigakure Village to Konoha. The Third Mizukage decided to give Yuya face, mainly because the annual transaction volume of hundreds of millions warranted it, and came to Konoha.

Afterwards, Yuya invited the leaders of the Whirlpool Kingdom. Under his mediation, the two parties reached an agreement in early March of Konoha's 21st year. The Country of Uzumaki would compensate Kirigakure Village with 100 million taels for war damages, and the toll fee would be adjusted from a proportional rate to a flat rate of 100,000 taels per large ship.

Both sides ceased fighting and restored peace. The Third Mizukage emerged victorious from the war, gaining prestige in Kirigakure Village, allowing him to focus on stabilizing the situation within the village.

As soon as the final results were announced, many villagers in Konoha "suddenly" realized... Previously it was Sunagakure and Yunin Village, but now it was Kirigakure and the Country of Whirlpool...

Under Yuya's mediation, both parties stopped fighting. Is it possible...? And indeed, that was the case.

In April of Konoha's 21st year, Yuya invited Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage, and the leader of Takigakure Village to Konoha for friendly negotiations. The Third Tsuchikage came to save face, but the Taki Ninja Village did not show up.

Onoki was furious, but Yuya reassured him that it was just a minor issue. Then he presented 100 million taels and sent people to the Country of Grass to find the leader of the Grass Ninja Village. The temptation of 100 million taels was too strong; the leader of Takigakure did not resist and launched a surprise attack on Taki Country.

With pressure on both fronts, Taki Country had no choice but to send representatives to Konoha and Onoki for peace talks. Eventually, the two sides reached a settlement, and the Third Tsuchikage Onoki did not back down, establishing the toll at 500,000 ryo per trip.

Under these conditions, Taki Country retreated somewhat, but they also signed a memorandum with Yuya, agreeing that once the war concluded, Yuya would invest in building a steel plant in Taki Country. Of course, Yuya didn't refuse.

Investing in a factory and utilizing Taki Country's resources for production was an excellent opportunity. Anyone who turned it down would be a fool.

As a result, in the entire ninja world, only Konoha and Kumogakure Village were still at odds, while other conflicts had ceased. From this moment onward, Yuya garnered attention from Konoha and all the nations in the ninja world.

They realized that Yuya had successfully gathered the leaders of two villages, persuading them to cease hostilities. Later, after resolving many conflicts, Yuya earned titles such as "Messenger of Peace," "Son of the Sun Bringing Warmth," and "Spokesperson of the Goddess of Peace."

Yuya remained indifferent to these titles, simply adapting to the new nicknames. The recent war between the Country of Uzumaki and Kirigakure had been resolved thanks to Uzumaki Mito. After her speech, she transformed Yuya's previous proposal into her own, suggesting that when necessary, she would arrange for someone to assassinate the leader of the Uzumaki clan, forcing the other party to come to Konoha for peace negotiations.

Yes, what Uzumaki Mito did was to claim that Yuya had never suggested using assassination methods against the elders of the Uzumaki Country; all of this was her idea. For this, Yuya felt grateful in his heart.

Uzumaki Mito smiled with relief after confirming that the war had truly stopped. The insults did not matter to her. Many years later, when historians recounted Uzumaki Mito's suggestion of the dark assassination proposal, many believed it wasn't her idea but that someone must have influenced her.

Although various clues pointed to Yuya, the second Hokage, as the mastermind behind it, many scholars defended their beloved Third Hokage, claiming he could not be such a villain with dark motives.

The consensus among scholars was that it must have been Senju Tobirama, still at the front lines, who returned to advise Uzumaki Mito. "What? How do you think Senju Tobirama could return from the front? Surely he must have used the clone technique or the Flying Thunder God technique!"

Thus, it was believed to be the Second Hokage's plan, never Yuya's.
