Chapter 101 Shizune: ...You're really good at judging people.

"Declare war on Akatsuki!"

Danzo said coldly.

No one was surprised by Danzo's attitude, after all, Danzo had always been a hardliner.

"Pain, the leader of Akatsuki, possesses the Rinnegan. While the extent of the Rinnegan's power is still largely unknown, he has already assassinated Hanzo of the Salamander, nearly killed Jiraiya, and, along with Itachi Uchiha with his Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasori of the Red Sand, and others. Their strength should not be underestimated."
"If we declare war on Akatsuki, will Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure just stand by and watch? As the saying goes, 'a single hair can move the whole body.' Konoha is the strongest ninja village and receives a lot of attention. Every move we make will have far-reaching consequences," the Third Hokage said calmly.

“That makes sense.” Mitokado Yan.

“Indeed, waging war is no child’s play, and these concerns are very necessary.” Koharu Utatane.

Besides the two advisors who expressed their support for what the Third Generation said, the current head of the Ino-Shika-Cho clan is also a staunch supporter of the Third Generation.

The third generation wasn't being weak; he was considering the bigger picture!
This is... the wisdom of the Hokage.

As the saying goes, one who cannot plan for the whole cannot plan for a part.

Danzo was too extreme; he only undermined the overall peace.

"Leaving aside the fact that they took in the S-rank rogue ninja Uchiha Itachi, and Pain's future destruction of Konoha, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is still in Amegakure! Aren't you going to declare war yet?"

The other ninja villages will only see Konoha's weakness. Hiruzen, you're old. You've ruined the village's future." Danzo slammed his fist on the table, stood up abruptly, and glared angrily at the Third Hokage.

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will return." The Third Hokage's expression also darkened.

"The story about Pain destroying Konoha was only shown on the screen and may not be true. Besides, everything has changed, and what should have happened may not have happened," Mitokado Homura said to Danzo.

As for Itachi Uchiha, he was not mentioned again.

After all, Danzo, En, and Koharu all knew that Itachi was actually an undercover agent sent to Akatsuki.

With Itachi infiltrating Akatsuki and Jiraiya also active there, the chances of rescuing Naruto are not small.

As long as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki returns to Konoha, everything else is secondary.

Hiashi Hyuga remained silent, but sighed inwardly. Just as he had expected.

Hiashi also felt that Danzo's statement about the Third Hokage's weakness.

However, the third generation's considerations are not without merit.

Just like the Third Shinobi World War, because the Third Kazekage disappeared, Sunagakure declared war on Konoha, and afterwards, Iwagakure and Kumogakure also didn't see it.

Therefore, if Konoha were to declare war on Akatsuki, the consequences would be unpredictable, and it could potentially trigger the Fourth Shinobi World War. Could Konoha still win then? Who dares to say that?

Having lost Sakumo Hatake, Minato, Kushina, and Shisui, Konoha's strength has declined significantly compared to the Third Shinobi World War.

The new generation hasn't grown up yet.

It could be said that there was a period of transition between generations.

The Fourth Hokage has been gone for several years, but the Fifth Hokage has still not been chosen.

For the sake of the village, the three generations had no choice but to continue ruling. Danzo, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu, of course, could not retire and had to continue to contribute to the village.

It's all thanks to F4!
Third generation: Approved!
Danzo: Approved!
Mitokado: Agreed!
Xiaochun from the dorm: Agreed!
As for the village's Jonin, who doesn't agree? Come on, say it louder. Oh, well said. Don't say it again.

Both Yan and Xiaochun are support characters for the Third Hokage, so I won't go into detail.

As for the conflict between Danzo and the Third Hokage, those are minor issues.

Even if Danzo sent people to assassinate the Third Hokage, it's a minor issue.

At least there is a consensus.

First, Yan and Xiaochun supported the Third Hokage, and then most of the Jonin also supported him.

Although it didn't pass unanimously, the third generation still holds the reins of power, and Danzo is not enough to shake it.

Looking at Danzo again, his face was ashen: "Hiruzen, you will regret this."

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!" the Third Hokage would say almost habitually.

The words felt strange as soon as they left my mouth.

At the same time, many strange looks were also directed at Danzo and the Third Hokage.

Danzo, looking pale, left with his cane.

'boom'

The door almost broke.

...Under the cover of night, Tsunade and Shizune did not sleep on the streets.

The money for the accommodation was borrowed by Tsunade.

While at the casino, Tsunade was in a fairly good mood, but once she left, her mood soured.

At this moment, Tsunade was drinking sake by herself.

As for silence, they were waiting for news.

Even if Tsunade doesn't return to Konoha, the Senju clan still wields too much influence there. Therefore, it wouldn't be difficult for Tsunade to find out whether Konoha will declare war on Akatsuki.

Even Tsunade could summon slugs to Konoha to gather intelligence.

In short, there are many methods.

It all depends on whether Tsunade wants to or not.

In truth, Tsunade believed that Konoha would declare war on Akatsuki.

As for her prediction that Konoha wouldn't declare war on Akatsuki, she didn't intend to win.

She's not afraid of losing, but rather afraid of winning.

Once she wins the bet, she'll consider running away; this place is not a safe place to stay.

Suddenly, an owl appeared in the night sky.

Shizune reached out her hand, and the owl landed on it.

After taking down the intelligence and deciphering it using coded language, Shizune was stunned.

"How about it? Does the old man not dare to declare war on Akatsuki?" Tsunade, her face slightly flushed, slapped the table and turned to look at Shizune.

"Lady Tsunade, you... have a really good eye for people!"

Tsunade:? ? ?
What?
Is the old man really that weak?
Konoha! The strongest ninja village, have you lost all sense of pride?
Akatsuki is practically shoving Konoha in the face with their attacks, and they're still tolerating this?

"The Third Hokage's attitude... the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will be reclaimed, but starting a war is too extreme. Considering the current state of the ninja world and the situation in Konoha, it is really not advisable to start a war. In addition, Jiraiya-sama will be responsible for bringing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki back." Shizune reported the situation.

"Being the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is a test the village gave to Jiraiya, right? If he passes the test, he'll become the Fifth Hokage." Tsunade curled her lip.

As for her, she suffers from hemophobia.

As for Jiraiya, aside from being a bit lecherous, he's quite reliable.

With Jiraiya's talent, he could easily have been a good Hokage.

The old man must be under a lot of pressure right now, so choosing a Fifth Hokage as soon as possible is probably a last resort!

Forget it, none of this concerns her. Even if she didn't have hemophobia, she wouldn't want to be Hokage. Only a fool would want to be Hokage.

only……

If Konoha doesn't declare war on Akatsuki, then... she won her gamble?

Instantly, the effects of the alcohol vanished, and he felt a jolt of energy.

Did you win the bet?
Won?

Oops!

broken!

At this moment, Shizune's mind was filled with thoughts of Konoha's refusal to declare war on Akatsuki, Jiraiya, and the Fifth Hokage...

"Shizune, pack your things, we're leaving tonight." Tsunade's expression was grave.

Seeing Tsunade's reaction, Shizune finally realized what was happening.

Lady Tsunade won her gamble this time...

Considering that Tsunade's winning bets never end well, Shizune's reaction is understandable.

However, running away overnight is definitely useless! If you're destined to be unlucky, you'll still be unlucky; there's no escaping it.

However, Tsunade decided to flee overnight, and Shizune had no choice but to comply.

There wasn't much to pack, and soon Shizune followed Tsunade out of the inn.
