Volume 1, Chapter 132 Do I, the Hokage, have to go to the negotiations in person?

"Forget it, let's ask the old man's opinion first."

In desperation, Tsunade had to ask the intelligence department to send a message to the village to inform the Third Hokage that Orochimaru and Jiraiya did not want to get involved in the negotiations.

See if he wants to send someone to negotiate with Hanzo.

For example, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, two people who like to act like elders, are very suitable.

As for whether they would anger Hanzo and be killed by Hanzo, that was not Tsunade's concern.

There were so many wounded in the camp that she was already so busy that she really had no time to think about negotiations.

The Intelligence Department used the Ninja Hawk to pass the message back to Konoha as soon as possible.

The Third Hokage also immediately summoned the two elders, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, to discuss countermeasures.

"Tsunade said that there are too many wounded in the camp and she is very busy. I am afraid she does not have time to go to the Rain Village to negotiate with Hanzo on behalf of Konoha."

"The medical department suffered heavy losses among the ninjas. Tsunade's mission is indeed heavy."

Utatane Koharu didn't realize the problem yet, and nodded in agreement:

"Then let Jiraiya and Orochimaru handle this matter. Before Danzo recovers, we will still need them to negotiate. The three of them are your disciples and are strong enough to represent the village."

Their status as a powerful family is enough to make Tsunade and the other two become negotiating representatives.

The most ideal person is Danzo, after all, he is the commander-in-chief on the front line.

However, at this time, Danzo could only lie down and receive treatment. It would take at least a month for Danzo to recover. Neither Hanzo nor Konoha could wait that long.

Therefore, the negotiators have to be changed.

Mitomon Yan nodded:

"Huruzen, Koharu is right."

"Since Tsunade is busy and doesn't have time, let Orochimaru and Jiraiya go together. It just so happens that they need to bear greater pressure and responsibility. This is his mission."

Giving his two old companions an expressionless look, the Third Hokage put down his pipe and rubbed his face.

"But Jiraiya doesn't want to go. He wants to go back to the village and rest. He says he's not good at this kind of thing."

"ha?"

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En looked at each other.

You don't want to go, too?

What does this child want to do? Is it possible that his old problem has recurred?

Jiraiya often did stupid things and sometimes was unreliable, and they all knew it.

Who knew that at this critical moment, this guy would start to fail again.

Forget it, if you don’t want to, then don’t want to.

"Then leave it to Orochimaru."

Tsunade is busy and Jiraiya is failing, so we can only rely on Orochimaru.

Orochimaru is also a good choice.

"Orochimaru said he was tired and wanted to go back to the village to rest."

After saying this, the Third Hokage himself was speechless.

None of the three disciples wanted to take over this mess.

Tsunade was really busy, and Jiraiya didn't want to go, nor was he willing to go.

Because of the issue of the three people's titles, Orochimaru didn't want to meet Hanzo at all, let alone sit down and negotiate calmly.

“Nonsense!!”

After being stunned for a few seconds, Utane Koharu's face turned red with anger, and she slammed the table and stood up.

"Hiruzen, are you just spoiling them like this?"

Adjusting his hat, the Third Hokage said leisurely to the angry Utatane Koharu:

"So Tsunade suggests that one of you go and negotiate with Hanzo on behalf of Konoha."

Who of you two is going?

The Third Hokage's eyes wandered between Utane Koharu and Mitokado En.

Mitomon En pointed at himself and smiled bitterly:

"Hurizen, I don't have time. The logistics department is under too much pressure. The battle on the River Country front is fierce, and the Rain Country camp also needs a lot of material assistance. In addition, the price of materials has risen. The logistics department is very busy, and I can't spare the time."

There is indeed nothing wrong with what Mizuto Menen said. It's not that he wants to be lazy, but he really doesn't have time.

With all kinds of big and small things on his shoulders, Mizuto Menyan felt like he was going crazy from being busy, so how could he have the time to participate in negotiations?

"How about Xiaochun go."

"You must be joking."

In response to Mitomon En's suggestion, Utane Koharu mercilessly responded:

“The logistics department is under a lot of pressure, but does that mean the medical department is also under a lot of pressure?

We have lost so many medical ninjas. The village and the front lines all need medical ninjas and various medical supplies. I need to coordinate and distribute them. Should I send a clone?"

In a rage, Utane Koharu, who was originally standing, became more and more excited as she spoke, and even walked over, almost poking Mito Menen's forehead with her finger.

Mitomon En smiled bitterly and raised his hands to show surrender.

Stop talking. I can't afford to offend you. Can't I just admit defeat?

This one can't go, and that one can't leave. Do I, as the Hokage, have to do this myself?

The Third Hokage held his pipe in his mouth impatiently and took a few puffs of smoke, causing the Hokage's office to become foggy and choking.

Under normal circumstances, Koharu Utane would definitely persuade the Third Hokage to smoke less.

But at this time, she said nothing, because she knew that the Third Hokage was in a bad mood.

After smoking for a while, the Third Hokage's irritable mood calmed down.

After a long silence, he asked:

"Have the supporting medical ninjas arrived at the front line?"

"Arrived this morning."

Utane Koharu answered.

"All right."

The Third Hokage placed his pipe on the desk and said to the ANBU ninja:

"Send information to Tsunade and tell her that she will be in charge of the negotiations. She can mobilize any personnel needed. I'll leave this matter to her."

Now that the medical ninjas have arrived to support the camp, it means that the busy Tsunade can finally relax.

In that case, let's leave it to Tsunade.

He has always been stubborn. If he says he doesn't want to go, then he doesn't want to go.

Orochimaru isn't much better, and if you don't want to go, he won't even bother to talk to you.

Only Tsunade has a stronger sense of responsibility.

The Third Hokage had to be despicable and use this to push Tsunade forward.

“You two!!”

Rope Tree glared at Chizuki and Minato with gritted teeth:

"Do you know how big of a man I've lost? Why did you tie me up and hang me on a tree?"

The sacred tree felt more and more aggrieved as it spoke.

Even though he didn't mention the part about his nonsense to the Third Hokage, the rest was enough to make Chizuki and Minato laugh until their stomachs hurt.

"Hahaha......."

Chizuki rolled around on the couch and Minato fell directly to the floor.

How dare you laugh!

"no."

Qianyue laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, and she couldn't stop crying. She wiped her eyes breathlessly and held her stomach:

"You were the one who asked us to drink, and you were the one who got drunk and acted crazy. If we don't tie you up, will we join you in the drunkenness?"

"But why hang it from a tree when you can just tie it up?"

Sheng Shu blushed and retorted loudly.

"Did anything interesting happen?"

At this time, Uchiha Mikoto and Kushina, who had gone out to buy groceries, came back together. Seeing that the door was not closed, they walked in directly.

Just in time to hear Chizuki and Minato's loud laughter that could be heard across the street.

"These two guys hung me on a tree last night, causing me to be discovered by the Anbu, and then taken to the Hokage's office, where they got drunk and went crazy."

Sheng Shu was really aggrieved.

Shame on you!!

It's so embarrassing that I've even brought shame to my grandma's house.

This does not even include the fact that he called the Third Hokage by his nickname and said that the Third Hokage wanted to peek at Tsunade taking a bath.

Otherwise I would be too ashamed to face anyone.

Nawaki didn't know how Tsunade would deal with him after she found out about this.

When he thought of Tsunade's fist, which looked weak and boneless but could actually break a person's bones with one punch, Nawaki even felt despair.

"drink wine?"

"Drunk and crazy?"

Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto were stunned.

Are you stupid? You tell me everything.

Qianyue was speechless.

"Okay, you three actually drank alcohol before you were even adults, especially you, Brother Nawaki, who actually hid the alcohol and led Minato and Chizuki astray. When Sister Tsunade comes back, I will definitely tell her!"

Knowing that Nawaki had secretly taken Chitsuki to drink, Nawaki even went to the Hokage's office after getting drunk.

Kushina was very uneasy, she was afraid that Chiyue would learn bad things.
