Starting with a list of Naruto episodes watched by Tobirama Senju

Chapter 23 Coercion

Tobirama convened a meeting of the heads of all the clans, and his purpose was quite simple.

Isn't Kumogakure trying to stall for time and renege on its debt?

Then I'll deploy my troops and press the border, let's see if Cloud Village still dares to renege on its promise.

"Gentlemen, the Hidden Cloud Village seems inclined to renege on their debt, so I'm considering sending troops to the border of the Land of Lightning to put pressure on them. Who agrees and who disagrees?"

Tobirama Senju's prestige was incomparable to that of the Third Hokage.

During his three generations in power, he still needed to explain to each family what he wanted to do, and if they did not cooperate, he had to use various forms of compensation to persuade them.

Why is this happening?

Isn't it because he doesn't have enough prestige?

In addition, with Danzo acting as a troublemaker, people dare not openly oppose you, but they all secretly hate these two.

Therefore, when Orochimaru attacked Konoha, the Third Hokage stood on the roof and fought him one-on-one. Apart from a few Anbu members acting as commentators outside the Four Purple Flame Formation, no one came to his rescue.

The only person who tried to save him, Might Guy, was pulled away by Kakashi.

Tobirama Senju was different.

He calls it a meeting to listen to everyone's opinions, but it's really just his one-man show.

You dare to say a single word of objection?

"Very good. Since no one objects, let's organize a large group and set off."

At this moment, the patriarch of a small clan, upon hearing this, asked with a hint of doubt, "A grand display?"

"That's right."

Tobirama Senju nodded and explained, "Our main goal is to make Kumogakure pay the money as stipulated in the contract, not to actually start a war with them. Making a bigger commotion will put more pressure on them."

"What if the Hidden Cloud Village really refuses to give it to us?"

"Wouldn't it be better if they didn't give it to us? Then we can take this opportunity to start a war."

Glancing at the people who had just spoken, Tobirama Senju asked calmly, "Are you all afraid?"

Uchiha clan leader: "What are you afraid of? If Kumogakure dares not give it to us, then let's start a war."

Hyuga clan leader: "That's right, we Konoha are not afraid of any enemy."

Clan Chief Shimura: "They're just a bunch of brutes from Kumogakure; they're not something I should be afraid of."

"Alright, since no one is afraid of war, what are we waiting for? Let's all go back and prepare. In three days, we will officially send troops to the border of the Land of Lightning."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

Konoha's recent regrouping of its forces in preparation for an attack on Kumogakure is a significant move.

So much so that the spies from Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) managed to send out the intelligence under the cover of night.

Three days later, when Tobirama Senju personally led the Konoha ninja to the border of the Land of Lightning, the Third Raikage of Kumogakure also received intelligence sent back by spies.

"Snap!"

Upon seeing the contents of the intelligence report, the Third Raikage, A, couldn't hold back and smashed his desk to pieces.

"Those bastards in Konoha are really going too far."

Ai was extremely annoyed.

Not only are these guys from Konoha not following his script, but Tobirama Senju is also personally leading a team to the Land of Lightning. Isn't that putting him in a difficult position?

Seeing the enraged Third Raikage, the secretary advised, "Lord Raikage, Konoha may not necessarily start another war with us."

"I know, but I don't dare to gamble."

Although the Cloud Village suffered heavy losses in the recent war, the Leaf Village also fared poorly.

If we were to go to war with Kumogakure again, wouldn't Tobirama Senju be worried that other countries would take advantage of the situation?

The Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Stone Village have now completely ceased hostilities. The Hidden Sand Village has been quietly developing for so long, isn't the Second Hokage worried at all?

But as I said before, the Hidden Cloud Village dares not gamble.

If war were to break out with Konoha again, the losses would be devastating.

"Damn it, that old man Tobirama Senju, his timing was absolutely perfect."

The Third Raikage, A, cursed angrily, then turned to his secretary and said, "Give the order to prepare the compensation in the contract immediately. I will not give Konoha a chance to start a war."

"Yes, Lord Raikage."

When Tobirama Senju led the Konoha ninja forces, they slowly made their way to the border of the Land of Lightning.

The Third Raikage of Kumogakure has been waiting here for quite some time.

"Lord Hokage, what's going on here?"

The Hidden Cloud Village brought quite a few people this time.

If Konoha had disregarded martial ethics, accepted compensation, and then continued to fight, Kumogakure wouldn't have been so powerless to retaliate.

"Would you believe me if I said I was here for tourism?"

What a fantastic travel experience!

Is it appropriate for you to travel to another country with a bunch of your underlings?

Anyone who believes that is an idiot.

I don't believe it.

"Since you don't believe me, then why don't you give me the compensation? Do you expect me to go and collect it myself?"

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

The Third Raikage clenched his fists so tightly that the veins on his forehead were almost bulging.

He kept telling himself to hold back, because if he couldn't hold back, it would be the Hidden Cloud Village that would suffer.

"Give it to him."

After gritting his teeth and saying three words to his secretary, Ai stared intently at Konoha.

Soon, the secretary instructed several other Cloud Village ninjas to hand over the prepared compensation and supplies to Konoha.

After obtaining the item, Tobirama Senju acted decisively, waving his hand to signal his men to return home.

Just moments before, the two sides acted like dynamic social groups preparing to open fire and seize territory.

A moment later, as the Konoha side left, the Kumogakure side did not linger either, and both sides left completely.

"Konoha, you just wait. I, the Third Raikage, will repay this humiliation."

After paying the so-called compensation, the Hidden Cloud Village has had a tough few years.

Seeing his subordinates' morale plummeting, he, as the Raikage, wanted to say something to boost their spirits.

Unfortunately, starting with the first Raikage, none of them have been good at speaking.

You can let them fight the enemy, but don't make things difficult for them by talking to them and boosting their morale.

Fortunately, he also has a capable secretary.

"Hey, you're quite eloquent. After dinner, go and boost morale for me."

"I?"

Ma Liuyi never expected that Raikage would assign him such a task.

He was just a clerical secretary; his usual job was to assist Raikage in processing documents and conveying orders.

Go and boost the morale of these ruthless ninjas?

He really wanted to say: "I can't do it."

At the same time, he also knew that if he dared to say that, Raikage would definitely fire him and replace him with someone else as his secretary.

So, after thinking for a moment, he didn't refuse directly, but said tactfully, "Lord Raikage, I'm just a secretary, I'm afraid they won't listen to me."

"That's easy. I'll promote you now. From now on, you'll be the Secretary-General of the Secretariat of the Raikage's Office."

Upon hearing about the promotion, Ma Liuyi's eyes lit up, and she asked, "May I ask, Lord Raikage, what exactly is this position of Secretary-General?"

"Hmm"

Lei Yingai shook his head a few times before replying, "...Still a secretary."

Ma Liuyi: ? ? ?
