Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 154 Danzo's Reluctance

He could not bear it any longer and said in advance: "Humph, if they want to come, let them come. Especially at this time, we must not show weakness, which will only make the other side take advantage of us. We in Konoha must not show our weak side. If they want to be tough, we will return the favor double. Konoha has never been afraid of threats and challenges from anyone!"

This is definitely militaristic thinking.

It cannot be said that Danzo was wrong.

When facing the enemy, you really cannot show your weak side.

That will only make the enemy think that you are easy to bully, and then they will become more aggressive. But you can't just confront them head-on without any bottom line or reason. If we say that Danzo's approach to the previous matters against the Sand Village and Menma was correct and beyond reproach.

Now we are facing the combined high pressure from the three major ninja villages.

It would be very stupid to still insist on doing so.

This is not confidence, but outright arrogance.

Can Konoha now face the three major ninja villages at the same time! ?
The answer is obviously no. The current Konoha is not as powerful as it was when the Third Hokage was in power. At that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was in his prime, and under him were Hatake Sakumo, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and the rapidly growing Minato. He could indeed fight against two or three ninja villages alone, and even win.

But Danzo obviously didn't realize this.

He still believed that Konoha was still the same Konoha, and even without these people, Konoha could still overwhelm the entire ninja world. He always felt that Konoha was limited to standing still, not because of its lack of strength, but because of its incompetent leader. As long as he was the one who led Konoha, he would be 100% able to easily defeat the entire ninja world.

It is obvious that Tsunade could not have such so-called "confidence".

She would not be like Danzo, who attempted to make an enemy of the entire ninja world. She even wanted to dominate the entire ninja world. She was the granddaughter of the first Hokage, her former lover and brother, and Naruto, who now also carries the will and shadows of these people in the past. They were all passionate and righteous guys. Tsunade naturally also hoped that the entire ninja world and her own Konoha could always maintain peace, so after Danzo's words fell.

Tsunade's expression changed, and she could no longer restrain her dissatisfaction and said, "Hard-lined!? Elder Danzo, do you know what you are talking about!? Now, the number of ninjas from the three major ninja villages gathered at the border is already over 10,000, and this number may increase at any time. The Hidden Rock Village has sent out the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, and what about the Hidden Cloud Village!? Isn't it!? And the Hidden Mist Village, what you are doing is dragging Konoha into a war of destruction. Once such a situation occurs, who will bear the responsibility!? Is it you? Elder Danzo? But can you bear such a responsibility!?"

It was a completely harsh response.

This is the result of Tsunade controlling her emotions.

Tsunade was almost pointing at Danzo's nose and scolding him for overestimating his abilities.

After hearing Tsunade's merciless words, Danzo's expression became gloomy.

He is obviously just a junior.

The atmosphere was obviously much more eerie.

Just when Danzo was about to say something.

"Well, this is indeed a problem that needs to be carefully considered. We cannot bear the pressure from the three ninja villages. So, Tsunade, what are your thoughts?"

Mizutomon En in the opposite position spoke in advance.

"We can use the captured Sand Ninja and the One-Tail Jinchuriki to negotiate with the Sand Village. As long as the Sand Village withdraws its troops, restores the previous alliance, and compensates us for our losses, we can return the One-Tail to the Sand Village. In this way, the threat to our west will disappear. After the Third War, the Cloud Ninja and the Rock Ninja have had an irreconcilable conflict. We can take advantage of this. Even if the pressure is not completely eliminated, at least it can be controlled within the range we can bear."

Tsunade sorted herself out and spoke in a calm tone.

This was not just her idea.

Rather, it is an overall outline plan proposed by Shikaku. When it is implemented, there will definitely be more detailed arrangements, but for now, this is the best choice for the three ninja villages.

There are concessions and there is also strength.

It feels like the Hokage of Konoha are all from the same lineage.

“Well, that’s a very reasonable approach indeed.”

"I think so too." After hearing this, Mizuto Menen and Utane Koharu felt a familiar feeling in their hearts.

That’s it.

at this moment.

The two looked at Tsunade with eyes full of relief and recognition.

This is the Hokage they recognize, and he is indeed Hiruzen's disciple.

The two consultants were satisfied.

Danzo was naturally unhappy.

In his opinion, there is no need for Konoha to make concessions!

Even if we take a step back and really choose to give in, it is not impossible. Danzo is not really stupid enough to say that he can't see the threat of the three major ninja villages, but the concessions should be limited, right! ?

How could I possibly give up such an important chip?
Even though Konoha has lost the Nine-Tails, how can the largest ninja village be without a tailed beast and a human pillar?!

This is something that will not be allowed!

Danzo's expression suddenly became even more gloomy.

But with his two close advisors' betrayal, Danzo knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless.

Afterwards, regarding Menma's issue, Tsunade directly expressed her attitude without hesitation.

"Finally, there is the issue of Uzumaki Menma. After all, he is the son of Minato and Kushina. We in Konoha should not deal with him in a high-profile manner. This is not conducive to internal stability. I think it is most appropriate to let Jiraiya take full charge. After all, Jiraiya is Minato's teacher. I believe there is still some room for maneuver."

This doesn't need to be stated too clearly.

Mizuto Kado En and Utane Koharu also got it instantly. At that moment, the two of them looked at each other and nodded slowly.

"Since you said so, Tsunade, let's leave it to Jiraiya first."

We still have to hold on to some hope, because from the perspective of the two consultants, they also feel that Menma is the type who has been bewitched by Orochimaru, so there should still be some room for him.

What's more, no matter how bad the situation is, it will still be the same, right?
This is another naked situation where they have reached an agreement.

This made Danzo's mood even worse. Originally, he wanted to unite with his two close advisors to put pressure on Tsunade, but why did it suddenly become like this! ?
Danzo didn't understand.

But he was even more angry because he was powerless to change the outcome, just like when Sarutobi Hiruzen was in power.

just now.

Tsunade is the Hokage.

When he thought of this, Danzo became even angrier.

Naruto!

Naruto!

Naruto!

He must become Hokage!
The fire of ambition in Danzo's heart had burned to its extreme degree at this moment.
