Volume 1 Chapter 98 You guys can fight this war, I don't care
"Well, Tsunade, you know that as the Hokage, I don't usually need money.
So I don’t have any money to subsidize you.”
"Being a Hokage doesn't cost money?"
Tsunade stared at him with suspicion. The Third Hokage felt a little guilty, so he turned his head away and explained:
"Does being a Hokage cost a lot of money?
As a teacher, I spend most of my time in the Hokage office building and can't find any place to spend money. How can I spend money?"
Borrow money?
No way!
subsidy?
Still no way.
Seeing that you look guilty, as if I, Tsunade, would steal your piggy bank, Tsunade looked down on the teacher.
"Okay, stop acting like I'm going to rob you of your money. Let's talk about the peace talks between Danzo and the Rain Village."
Tsunade's laziness disappeared, and she perked up with a serious expression. She pulled a chair and sat in front of the Hokage's desk, and said to the Third Hokage:
"The current situation in Rain Village is not optimistic. Orochimaru and I guess that the supplies in Rain Village are running low and they can't hold on any longer, so Hanzo is eager to have a decisive battle with our Konoha."
"I think we can send someone to contact Hanzo now to see if he is willing to negotiate. There is no need to fight to the death before sitting down and talking slowly."
"But Danzo disagreed with my and Orochimaru's suggestions. He felt that Konoha's dignity could not be challenged and that the Rain Village should be dealt a heavy blow.
Let’s negotiate after we win the war.”
When Tsunade thought of what Danzo had said, she wanted to punch his head off.
If you have the ability, why don't you go to the battlefield and kill the enemies yourself? What are you doing sitting in the command center?
It turns out that it wasn’t you, Danzo, who died, right?
It's just a number. You won't care how many ninjas died. Instead, you will say that everything is for the village.
It's for face and to gain credit.
"So Orochimaru, Jiraiya and I suggest that you start negotiations first. There is no need to sacrifice a large number of ninjas on the battlefield just for the sake of so-called face."
Tsunade looked at the Third Hokage, with some expectation in her beautiful eyes.
She hoped that the Third Hokage would adopt her, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya's suggestions and start negotiations.
There is no need to fight till the end before negotiating.
Such peace talks will be meaningless.
Even if Konoha wins, it will be a pyrrhic victory.
Starting peace talks in advance would be beneficial to Konoha as it would reduce sacrifices and save a lot of supplies.
It's just a small loss in the negotiations, Konoha doesn't care.
Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya have good ideas.
It’s a pity that the three of them are destined to be disappointed.
After a moment's silence, the Third Hokage shook his head slightly, making Tsunade's heart sink to the bottom.
His expression gradually froze, and the expectation in his eyes turned into disappointment.
Sighing, the Third Hokage looked into Tsunade's eyes and said regretfully:
"Tsunade, I know that the three of you are doing this for the good of Konoha, but Konoha cannot retreat at this time, because we are the initiators of the war, even if the one who instigated the war was the Sand Village."
"There is no way out at this point. The Rain Village is a clear signal, giving other small ninja villages hope to become restless.
If they cannot defeat the Rain Village fairly, then the ninja villages in other small countries will begin to follow the example of the Rain Village and develop their military strength at all costs.
By then, the entire ninja world will be destroyed."
"The price of fully developing military strength is foreign war. At that time, new rounds of wars will sweep across the entire ninja world."
"Negotiations are needed, but not at this time. Can you understand me?"
"But it's because of Hanzo that the Rain Village can take this extreme path. With limited resources and population in a small ninja village, it's hard to give birth to the next Hanzo!!"
Tsunade also wanted to change the Third Hokage's mind through persuasion.
But it's useless.
The Third Hokage shook his head:
"We can't take such a risk, Tsunade. Everything I do is for the village."
The village, the village is the village again. Let the village’s ninjas sacrifice themselves and let the village continuously invest new forces into the battlefield. Is this what they call doing it for the village?
Tsunade, extremely disappointed, slammed the table hard, and the desk broke.
The Third Hokage, who was mentally prepared, rescued his pipe in time. As for other things, it was okay if they were lost or broken.
"Old man, I'm very disappointed in you!"
"You guys fight this war on your own, I don't care anymore!!"
He kicked the broken table away, and it broke through the window, flew out of the Hokage's office and fell to the ground, scaring passers-by to scream and dodge.
Who the hell is so bold as to take action in the Hokage's office?
All of a sudden, more than a dozen ANBU members appeared in the Hokage's office.
After they rushed into the Hokage's office, they saw Tsunade, who was angry and gloomy.
Looking at the Third Hokage who had a calm face and didn't even say a word of blame, he stood aside very consciously.
It was obvious that something unpleasant had happened between the Third Hokage and Tsunade, the master and disciple pair.
Looking at the big hole made by the table, the Anbu ninjas were all ashamed.
You'll get used to it, you'll get used to it. Just because of Tsunade's bad temper, the desks and chairs in the Hokage's office have been replaced countless times.
The door is the most vulnerable part, but I didn’t expect that the window would be the one to be hit this time.
"Tsunade and I have some disagreements, so you two should go down first."
The three Hokage waved calmly.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
The ANBU ninja lowered his head and started.
After venting her anger, Tsunade said with a sullen face:
"Jiraiya wants to exchange the Flying Thunder God Technique from the Sealed Book for his disciple Minato. The required contribution will be deducted from his head, and an additional Shadow Clone Technique will be added."
"good."
The Third Hokage did not refuse. He took out the sealing scroll decisively, expanded the two ninjutsu into the ninjutsu scroll, and handed it to Tsunade.
Taking the ninjutsu scroll, Tsunade left without looking back.
As I walked out of the office, I happened to meet the two elders, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, who had heard the news and came over.
"snort!"
Knowing that Danzo could be so unscrupulous, the Third Hokage would not be persuaded by any tricks or persuasion, and it was inevitable that these two people would give him all kinds of help and words.
Therefore, Tsunade did not give them a good look. She snorted and almost threw her two golden ponytails into their faces.
This made Utane Koharu and Mitomon En very angry.
Mitomon En was fine, she just shook her head and said nothing, but Utane Koharu was so angry that her face turned green.
"Sarutobi, are you just going to leave Tsunade like this?"
"Look at what she has become. She is lawless and doesn't even respect the village elders."
The Third Hokage held his pipe in his mouth, raised his head and said:
"Tsunade is also a high-ranking member of my Konoha, and the princess of Konoha who was canonized by the Daimyo."
