Uchiha Xiao nodded. He certainly understood that this was tantamount to fighting a war in vain. Even if you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, are a man of high moral character, you should still consider the villagers' opinions. Did our ninja die in vain?

Didn't get any benefit from the fart? That's not the case!

The author is in Xishuangbanna, so the update time may not be so fixed. I am still thinking about the direction of the plot while walking.

Chapter 79: Lord Hokage, is it appropriate?

Uchiha Xiao pondered for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll talk to Lord Hokage later."

"Then I'll leave it to you!" Nara Rokumei bowed. He knew that only someone like Uchiha Owl, whose current strength and achievements were top-notch, would attract the attention of the Third Hokage.

"This is also for our own family, there is no need to be so polite." Uchiha Xiao smiled.

After that, he took Tsunade and prepared to go find the Hokage, but Tsunade stopped him and said, "Mr. Xiao, aren't you being used as a pawn? The teacher's idea now is a peace agreement. Now you ask him to seek benefits, aren't you going against him?"

Uchiha Xiao stopped and suddenly smiled, "Then dear, let me ask you..."

Tsunade blushed instantly, her head exploding. What did he call me? Oh my goodness! Ahhhhhhh! I'm going to die!

Uchiha Xiao looked towards the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and suddenly said, "If our Hokage fights so beautifully in his first battle, then if he wins he won't have to pay a price, and if he loses he can just sign a peace treaty."

"What will other countries think then? If they wage war against us, they'll make money if they win, and they'll also not lose anything if they lose. How can there be so many good things in the world?"

"Not only will this not reduce the occurrence of wars, but it will also encourage the entire ninja world to have the idea that anyone in Konoha can step on anyone."

"Tsunade, Tsunade? Are you listening? Hello?" Uchiha Owl waved his hand in front of her. Tsunade finally reacted and came back to her senses. Her face flushed and she said, "Owl-sama, I'm sorry, I was distracted, but I feel that Owl-sama is right!"

After saying that, Tsunade nodded to show her approval.

Seeing this, Uchiha Xiao laughed out loud, "Haha, let's go, dear, let's go see the Hokage. If I don't tell others about this kind of thing, no one else will dare to tell them. They will only have opinions about the Hokage in their hearts. It's nothing at the beginning, but after a long time, they will become alienated."

"Okay! When the teacher scolds you, I will help you to say it back!" Tsunade said with a smile, and then added, "You just now, you called me a good boy? It sounds good! If you like it, say more! Okay~"

"Okay~ my little ancestor" Uchiha Xiao laughed. Tsunade smiled foolishly and took Uchiha Xiao's arm and followed him to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

At this time, Danzo Shimura also came over. This time he was also going to sign a peace treaty with Sarutobi Hiruzen, so he planned to discuss the specific contents with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Uchiha Xiao's eyes lit up. Guo Ying, no, that's not right, it's the Konoha Elder! With him here, everything will be much easier.

If we were to ask who has the best relationship with Sarutobi Hiruzen, it would be Shimura Danzo. After all, everyone understands (Huruzen, give him to me! No! I am the Hokage! You will regret it. Door: Bang!)

"Danzo, you're here." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked back as if he had expected it, and found that it was not only Danzo, but also Uchiha Owl and Tsunade.

An idea came to his mind, and he said with a smile, "Owl-sama and Tsunade, you are here too, come and sit down, come and sit down!" As he said that, he patted the seat next to him.

Uchiha Owl turned to Shimura Danzo and said, "Danzo-sama, please sit with the Hokage. Tsunade and I will sit beside you!"

Danzo Shimura nodded with a smile, then sat down, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes. Although Uchiha Owl was powerful, he still had awe for him and the elders of the village.

Then Uchiha Owl pulled Tsunade to sit on a small chair beside him.

Shimura Danzo took the barbecue handed to him by Akimichi Choza, took a bite and said, "This barbecue is really good, Hiruzen, would you like one?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled and said, "I've eaten. You should eat more."

The two children were drinking sake and eating barbecue, neither of them saying anything. Now it was the turn of the two big men to speak, and they, the younger generation, mainly listened.

"Huruzen, how do you plan to sign this agreement?" Shimura Danzo asked after he finished eating the last piece of meat on the signature.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled slightly and said, "Danzo, we have a close relationship, right?"

Danzo nodded, "But, I'm asking you a question, why are you asking whether your relationship is close or not?"

"Then I'll be frank. I believe you will support me." Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned back strategically.

"Go ahead and tell me. Let me listen first." Danzo Shimura was not a fool. He must have known that what Sarutobi Hiruzen would say next might not be good, so he would not agree.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, "Danzo, the Sand Village is suffering. Apart from these eight hundred miles of yellow sand, what else is there? So I think..." Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could finish his words, Danzo slammed the table.

"You miss your uncle! What? You only care about your reputation and want to be exempted from compensation. Have you ever thought about the dead ninjas in our village and their families!" Danzo Shimura was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up.

Sure enough, before Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, Shimura Danzo guessed what he was going to say.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent, his face gloomy, then he slammed the table and said, "Danzo, don't forget! I am the Hokage!"

Uchiha Xiao's eyes widened. Oh my god, what a famous scene! He even handed Tsunade a glass of sake and took one for himself.

Suck Suck Suck

Just when Danzo was about to say the classic line, "You'll regret this," he suddenly heard Uchiha Owl's slurping voice. His eyes lit up, and he said, "Huruzen, the victory of this battle is inseparable from Owl's strategy and strength. I think you should ask for his opinion!"

After saying that, Danzo Shimura raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Boy, I told you to suck suck suck!"

Uchiha Xiao spit out the wine with a "pu" sound, and the sake sprayed on Shimura Danzo's face. He quickly took a tissue to wipe his mouth, and then said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Danzo-sama, I didn't mean it."

After saying that, he wanted to take out a tissue to wipe Danzo's face, but Danzo's face darkened and he said, "It's okay, but when Lord Hokage asks you later, give me a "good" answer."

After saying that, Danzo took out his handkerchief and wiped the sake off his face, staring at Uchiha Xiao as if to say, "You kid, explain it to me properly later! Otherwise, you're finished."

Uchiha Xiao wanted to slap himself in the face. He was talking about Guo Ying when he came here, but now he has to take the blame?

Although he originally came to persuade, but with Danzo there, he just needed to assist. Who knew that with just one sentence "I am the Hokage", he would break down!

Tsunade covered her mouth and chuckled, feeling that Uchiha Owl and Elder Danzo had a very good relationship.

"Well, Lord Xiao, then just tell me what you think about this matter. It happens that you young people have your own ideas, so we want to listen to them." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.

Uchiha Owl put the skewer down and stuck it on the wood, then cleared his throat and said, "Hokage-sama, is this appropriate?"

I'm so tired from traveling. Oh, it doesn't matter. I'll go home after the 15th and will update steadily every day then.

Chapter 80 Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it

"Hokage-sama, is this appropriate?" When Uchiha Xiao said this, Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi were stunned, and Tsunade's heart skipped a beat.

"Actually, Mr. Owl, you don't have to be so straightforward." Tsunade swallowed and said in her heart, then pulled the corner of Uchiha Owl's clothes.

Uchiha Owl turned his head and gave Tsunade a look, signaling her to rest assured.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent. "Mr. Owl, you also think I should ask for compensation from them, right?" His eyes suddenly fixed on Uchiha Owl.

Uchiha Xiao took a deep breath and said, "That's right, Hokage-sama." Uchiha Xiao's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and his voice changed from being nonchalant at the beginning to being fully focused now.

"I remember you told me at the beginning, what else does the Sand Village have besides sand? We should surround them but not fight them, right?" Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled.

Uchiha Xiao was stunned, then replied, "Hokage, strategy is strategy, not a reason to not ask for compensation after the war." He was really speechless. How could the third generation ask such a question?

"But my Konoha Village relies on the Land of Fire, which has vast land and abundant resources. Why should we ask the Sand Village of the Wind Country for compensation?" asked the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, without finishing his sentence.

If the other party is willing to sign a peace agreement, he doesn't mind providing some more resources to the Sand Village.

It's like saying, if you win, I'll pay you money, and if you lose, I'll give you subsidies. So what? Are you the Song Dynasty? So good?

Uchiha Xiao knew Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts very well. He just wanted to obtain the life of Rende and gain the recognition of the ninja world. It was a pity that his choice was wrong. Blindly giving in would only make the other party become more and more aggressive.

Uchiha Owl agrees with conquering other countries by force. If Hashirama is the ideal, then Uchiha Madara is the reality.

What about Sarutobi Hiruzen? He inherited Hashirama's kindness, but not his strength. He inherited Tobirama's political tactics, but used them internally.

If you don’t inherit the good things, you will learn all the bad things!

Uchiha Xiao cleared his throat and said, "Hokage-sama, the ninjas in the village are dying or getting injured. What else are they doing for other than peace? Resources."

"You are the Hokage, you have everything, but what about those small families? They have nothing. After the victory, everyone should share the benefits, but you, Hokage, want to give it up."

"Excuse me for being blunt, but is Ren's reputation so important? So important that the compensation and resources right in front of us are no longer important?" Uchiha Xiao said it very bluntly, and he was almost saying directly, you Sarutobi Hiruzen are so awesome, you use the resources we deserve in exchange for your reputation for kindness.

Please, if you keep doing this, we really don't want to send anyone to fight in the future.

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into deep thought. He was not as strong as the first generation, nor as wise as the second generation. He had his own ambition, which was to surpass the first and second generations and become the strongest Hokage.

He thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with this: fame! Rely on reputation to surpass the previous two Hokage and achieve the title of the strongest Hokage.

"Anything else?" Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and exhaled. Shimura Danzo frowned. He understood what Uchiha Owl meant. Hiruzen, what's wrong with you?

Uchiha Xiao was stunned. Isn't what I said clear enough? But when he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression, he obviously didn't see any waves. In other words, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew the result, but he still chose to deal with it this way.

It seems that it is not unreasonable to put fame first when pursuing fame and fortune.

In this case, Uchiha Xiao prepared the next dose of strong medicine. "Hokage, it is true that you are kind, but have you ever considered that handling it this way will not show the style of our great country, but will make everyone think that we in Konoha are easy to bully?"

"You don't want compensation. Yes, the Sand Village will be grateful for your kindness, but how long will they be grateful? When the next Ninja World War breaks out, do you believe that they will bite us directly?" Uchiha Xiao said.

Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent, but showed no intention of speaking.

Uchiha Xiao sighed, "If we win, we don't have to pay compensation, and if we lose, nothing will happen. Do you think other countries will come and step on us for no reason?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his eyes at this time. He looked at Uchiha Owl deeply, and then began to think, yes, if he were the Kage of another country, he would probably do the same.

If you win, you make money; if you lose, you don’t lose. Who wouldn’t want to give it a try?

"Yes, Hokage-sama can gain a reputation for benevolence, such as a saint, a benevolent man, or a ninja hero, but then what? Your village continues to suffer losses and has not received any compensation. For the sake of false reputation, you give up your own interests. This is okay for a short time, but what about the long term?"

"Each family has lost soldiers and generals, but there's no benefit at all. Why should they continue to send troops? Who will be willing to send their high-end combat forces to the battlefield next time there's a war?"

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. The major families believe in the Hokage. Under the leadership of the Hokage, Konoha will become stronger and more prosperous. However, once you start this behavior of nurturing enemies and harming yourself, there is no turning back."

"Would everyone be willing to accompany you, Ren De?" Uchiha Xiao spoke such a long paragraph that Shimura Danzo wanted to stand up and applaud. This was also what he wanted to say, but he couldn't say so many logical words.

"Of course, my Uchiha clan will definitely support you, but Konoha is not a matter of one family or a few families having the final say." Uchiha Xiao took the opportunity to beautify the Uchiha clan's position.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up, "Owl Lord, if you were the Hokage, what would you do?"

Here comes a life-threatening question, and Uchiha Xiao has to answer it well.

He thought for a moment, then said, "Hokage-sama, I am just a soldier under your leadership. I have a little wisdom and can help you share your worries."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and said, "Just say whatever you want to say. Just treat it as a casual chat."

Uchiha Owl stood up and bowed, saying, "Currently, only the Uchiha, Hyuga, and Ino-Shika-Chou families are moving closer to the Hokage. The other families are still on the sidelines."

"If Lord Hokage can secure the benefits the village deserves this time, I think more families will side with Lord Hokage. If you give up on seeking benefits for the village this time, not only will other families remain silent, but even families that have already joined Lord Hokage will be dissatisfied."

"Of course, I, Uchiha, won't." Uchiha Xiao said lightly. He explained the pros and cons to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and it depended on his choice.

Shimura Danzo patted Sarutobi Hiruzen's shoulder and squeezed it, thinking, "Huruzen, don't let me down, don't let everyone in the village down, make the choice a Kage should make."

Danzo Shimura gave Uchiha Owl a look and said, "You said it well, don't worry, I will protect you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were dim. He looked at Danzo, then at Uchiha Owl, and finally at Akimichi Tofu who was frowning and clenching his fists in the distance, and remained silent, but watching the sea of ​​clouds in the mountains and Nara Deer Song.
