It was enough to help the Hidden Mist Village find the Three-tailed Isobu. Although the Konoha Village received a lot of money, that was all.

For a ninja village, money is very important. It is the most important bargaining chip to maintain its scale, combat effectiveness and influence, but the tailed beasts are different.

No superpower would trade nuclear bombs. This strategic weapon should be completely controlled in one's own hands.

It is natural to think that the tailed beast should be captured and returned to the Hidden Mist Village. This overestimates Konoha's selfless nature and underestimates the strength of the Hidden Mist Village.

Since it maintains the dignity of one of the five major ninja villages, it should be on an equal footing with Konoha, even if it is an ally.

Although Mizuki's words were unpleasant to hear, they were indeed irrefutable. The agreement with the Hidden Mist Village did not include any assistance in capturing the tailed beasts. Being too enthusiastic might not necessarily be a good thing.

"Just watch like that?"

Tsunade was a little hesitant. When the agreement was reached, there were indeed no such detailed terms.

The Hidden Mist Village is not the Takigakure Village. No one would dare to say anything if they were just sent away casually, and there wouldn't be too much trouble. But given Mei Terumi's strength, she might not think so.

Is a ninja village that can't even catch or control its own tailed beast qualified to own it?

Maybe someone will test the confidence of the Mist Ninjas again.

"Most of the ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village are good at killing people, but they may not be that strong against the tailed beasts."

The Six-Tails Jinchuriki Yugao turned against his master and defected because of the problem of sealing the tailed beast, but fortunately he was successfully retrieved later.

From this we can see that the sealing ability of the Hidden Mist Village is very average. If Mei Terumi had not taken action personally, they might not be able to do anything to the Three-Tailed Isozaki.

The only hope is that Sanwei's combat power has not yet recovered to its peak, so it is easier to deal with.

"Let's talk to the Mizukage face to face. Although it's not appropriate to question the strength of the Hidden Mist Village, we can't care about that at this moment. Isn't the meaning of alliance to help each other and fight against powerful enemies together?"

After saying that, everyone's eyes turned to the silent Hatake Kakashi.

"You want me to run again?"

"You've been to the Hidden Mist Village so often, it's not easy to just change people!"

Last time, Kakashi reached an agreement with the Hidden Mist Village under Tsunade's instruction. It would be best to find someone familiar to go. If you send someone who doesn't know the background, he might not be able to figure out the situation.

"Oh well!"

Since it's a mission, there's nothing we can do about it. Although the female Mizukage's enthusiasm makes people a little uneasy, it's really hard to complain about it, and it's even more impossible to use it as an excuse to shirk the mission.

"I'm just going to convey my opinion. Do you want me to give you some advice?"

"First we need to confirm whether Konoha wants to get involved!"

Tsunade said after thinking for a moment.

"Try to participate as much as possible to better eliminate variables. There may be too many people interested in Sanwei Isobu."

In addition to the Akatsuki organization and Orochimaru, maybe Ōnoki also wants to test the strength of the Hidden Mist Village.

Since we are not allies, we can be a little more presumptuous.

Even if the five major ninja villages have friendly relations, they must understand each other's strength and understand their own position in the alliance. Only in this way can they avoid doing things that are inconsistent with their own strength.

Anyone who can target the tailed beast must be an extremely powerful master. Given the current situation of the Hidden Mist Village, there are only a few people who can be sent out.

If Mei Terumi does not leave the Hidden Mist Village, there will be even fewer options to capture the three-tailed Isozaki.

"Try to find out what the Hidden Mist Village is planning and how to deal with it. If they absolutely need our help, we must get involved even if it makes the Mist Ninja unhappy!"

"Intelligence gathering and persuasion!"

Hatake Kakashi nodded to show that he understood.

"Let's go without delay. If anything happens, report it back to the village immediately."

Sanwei Isobu may be found at any time. At this time, the allies must reach an agreement. If they cannot work together on such an important matter, the alliance will be meaningless.

…

The decision-making meeting chaired by the Hokage was clearly divided into two factions. As the voice of the elders of the same period as the Third Hokage weakened, the young jonin who supported Tsunade gradually began to rise to high positions, further squeezing the power of Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En.

As for Danzo Shimura, he seldom attends such meetings, not only because he and Tsunade don't get along, but also because of this man's temperament.

This old man, who has been doing the dirty work behind the scenes for decades, will not discuss anything with anyone other than three generations. For all actions, he has only two clear attitudes: approval or opposition.

If he agreed with Tsunade, Danzo would definitely not come to surrender.

If they were opposed, they would not show up in a place where it was obvious that they would not get support, but would arrange for their subordinates to take action privately.

In some ways, it's inevitable that this guy is unlikable.

However, Jiraiya, who was present, did not say a word, which surprised Mizuki a little.

If it is just to show presence and support Tsunade, there is no need for that. Tsunade's authority is already enough.

"Konoha Village is already very strong!"

After the meeting, Jiraiya approached Mizuki.

"Um!"

Mizuki also agreed with Jiraiya's statement that in the Third Ninja World War, the entire Ninja world suffered heavy losses.

The current Konoha Village is no weaker than it was back then.

Among the most prestigious "Three Ninjas", only Orochimaru defected, the other two are still there.

As for the death of the third generation in battle and the withdrawal of the older generation of ninjas from the front line, this was also inevitable.

As Konoha completed its renewal, it has gradually gained an overwhelming advantage over other ninja villages, and even its strongest opponent, the Hidden Cloud Village, is no match for it.

There are two jonin who are fifteen or sixteen years old, not including the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura who has gradually mastered the Sage Mode.

"Sitting in a conference room, discussing how to deal with the tailed beasts of other ninja villages as a matter of course, this never happened when the Third Hokage was here."

After three years of rest, Konoha's current ninja team has regained its momentum.

Jiraiya and Tsunade are not old yet. The backbones of the Ino-Shika-Chou, Hyuga, Inuzuka, Aburame and other families, masters who have experienced the last Ninja World War are all in their prime. There are also more than one or two younger jonin who are masters who can challenge the tailed beasts.

Also, the Genin who graduated in recent years are becoming more and more mature.

Konoha Village's unique geographical advantages and complete education system will make Konoha's advantages grow even greater in the next few years.

As long as Konoha is not defeated in one fell swoop, it won't take long for it to make a comeback, which is something no other ninja village can compare to.
