Well this is a complicated topic as Japan had surrendered before the bombs were dropped.

They did? I thought they refused to surrender even after the first bomb.

They offered a conditional surrender and were refused. They didn't accept unconditional surrender until after the bomb on Nagasaki. They may have or may not have been prepared to accept a conditional surrender or, just as likely, wanted to fish for additional concessions.
