Almost a week has passed since the death of the third Hokage. Everything was returning to normal after the attack on the village. A small group of ninjas, most made of Jonin, were allowed to leave the village on missions while the rest remaining helped repair the town.

Sand Village "Suna"

The Sand Village Council had gathered to discuss the terms of surrender and possibly sign a peace treaty with the Village of the Leaf.

Council member #1: We can not agree to the terms of the surrender from Konohagakure. We will be left entirely bankrupt. Plus, they have taken most of our jobs thanks to our Wind Daimyō passing them out. If this continues, the village will be doomed.

Council member #2: Since we were allowed to be tricked like fools into going to war by Orochimaru pretending to be our Kazekage, we have no choice but to pay reparation for the damage caused by us.

All of the members of the Council continued to fight over whether they should agree or not agree to the terms of Konohagakure's surrender. It had been hours, but nothing had changed; there was still no consensus on what course of action they ought to take. The eldest council member slams her hand onto the table, gaining every attention.

Eldest Council member: I've had enough of listening to grown men fight like children, and I demand an end to it. I believe the suggestion I have will be more beneficial. Let's make a counteroffer to the agreement, shall we? We will deliver a Treaty of Perpetual Peace in addition to offering ten percent of what it is that they want.

Council member #2: Who are we offering and to whom?

Eldest Council member: I thought maybe have the boy that defeated Gaara.

Council member #1: If I remember right, in Baki's report, the one who beat Gaara was a boy named Naruto Uzumaki.

Eldest Council member: No, he's not the one. Tamari mentioned in her report that a young boy by the name of Son Kakarot or Goku was the one who had beaten Gaara and caused him to lose control before retreating to the village after he was able to sense the Third Hokage's life was in danger-leaving Naruto to finish off Gaara.

Council Member #1: I believe it was in one of Baki's reports that it mentioned that Son Kakarot, also known as Goku, is the final Saiyan known to be alive. It is hard to think that Konoha could keep this formidable secret from the rest of the world. Not even our spy could find anything on him before the Chuunin Exams.

Council member #2: Okay, it seems as though we are all in agreement that this Goku kid will be the one who represents Konoha in the marriage proposal pact; however, who will we choose to be our representative? It is crucial to keep in mind that if this young boy turns out to be the very last Saiyan male to be alive, Konoha will not permit just any individual from our village to take part in the marriage proposal pact.

Before she began speaking, the Eldest Council member inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly.

Eldest Council member: We would get an up-and-coming powerhouse ninja to protect us during challenging times. So, we must act in the same manner. I propose that Princess Tamari, daughter of our late fourth Kazekage, serve as our representative.
