The third generation Hokage sent Danzo to jail at the beginning

Hidan was blasted into the rock wall, still laughing wildly and saying, "If the First Hokage was half as strong as the leader, you wouldn't survive, Kakuzu."

Scorpion looked at the ruins in the distance in silence. He had also thought about making the leader of the Rinnegan into a human puppet one day.

But I didn't expect it to be so strong.

And in this battle, Scorpion could naturally see that the Six Paths Pain were all puppets - a new technology that did not require chakra lines to control.

Curiosity and desire to research suddenly surged.

At this moment, paper scraps flew like snow. Pain and Konan fell from the sky.

He announced coldly:

"This mission is over."

"Three days of rest."

"Next target, Konoha."

Chapter 57 Miss Ma Buyi, please accept my condolences

Hokage's office.

Nara Shikaku gently placed a stack of documents in front of the Third Hokage and rubbed his temples with his fingertips. The continuous high-intensity negotiations had left a few fine lines at the corners of the eyes of this Konoha Dragon.

Nara Shikaku is reporting on the negotiations with Kumogakure representative Azabui.

The Cloud Ninja has basically admitted defeat and surrendered. The Fifth Raikage is willing to apologize in the newspaper for the last act of aggression and pay war reparations.

The final negotiation point is the amount of compensation.

"In short, the Kumogakure representative is very firm on the bottom line of the compensation amount. At present, this amount should be the maximum bottom line that the other party psychologically expects."

If the situation continues to increase, Cloud Village will have to be like Sand Village, living frugally to the point where the Wind Shadow almost has to resort to mining.

"Then let them live frugally."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a drag on his cigarette, puffing out clouds of smoke. "The other villages are fine, but Kumogakure must live frugally. Don't they have a good relationship with the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning? If they don't have money, they can just go and ask for it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen is definitely not petty.

What about killing his mentor, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, breaking into Konoha to kidnap Hyuga's eldest daughter Hinata, and killing the Fourth Hokage's orphan, Naruto?

I don't care about these deep hatreds.

He was simply and simply angry when he thought of Kumogakure. He had bullied the old, weak, and sick in Konoha before, and now he was on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. How could he let him go?

"So Hokage-sama, what if the other party simply refuses to accept?"

It wasn't that Shikaku lacked decisiveness; he was raising this question to get the Hokage to draw a safe line. This was the duty of an advisor, and he would never interfere.

"If we can't reach an agreement through negotiation, then we can continue to fight. What we can't get at the negotiation table, we can get on the battlefield."

"Even if we in Konoha continue to fight, we are still the army of justice. We will fight back in self-defense!"

"It's not a bad idea to have the Raikage have another generation."

Since Lord Hokage's bottom line is to continue fighting, there is no need to worry. Nara Shikaku decided to increase the compensation again.

Nara Shikaku nodded: "Okay, then I will continue to talk with the Kumogakure representative."

Having made up his mind, Shikaku closed his notebook, but turned away, wanting to speak more. Finally, he held his forehead with his hand and sighed, "Also... could you please stop promoting titles like Crouching Dragon of Konoha or the Smartest Man in the Ninja World?"

"Says like, 'Whoever gets Crouching Dragon will get the world,'" is simply terrifying.

I really don’t deserve it, and I dare not deserve it.

To be honest, Nara Shikaku was a little complacent at first because the Hokage strongly recognized him, but later even his office colleagues looked at him with strange eyes.

Only then did I realize that I was a little too proud and in trouble.

He pointed at his temple and continued, "The bounty on the black market for me has surpassed Asuma's and is almost approaching that of the Sannin. The amount is still rising every day!"

"If this continues, I'll be the man with the highest bounty in the ninja world."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and said, "How can you be boasting, Shikaku? You are my son! When I met Shikaku, I felt like a fish in water."

"You and I, king and subject, will never betray each other."

"This ninja world will surely move towards true peace and unification in my hands."

Who is Zifang? Third generation, how come you have a new word?

"Ah?" Nara Shikaku was stunned.

Third generation, third generation, why are you serious?

Shikaku had no doubt that Konoha would rule the ninja world in the future, but he thought that the unified scene would appear in the fifth or sixth generation.

Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, staring at the names of the previous Hokage on the wall of his office, and said, "I, the surviving fourth generation of Konoha, will bring peace and prosperity to this ninja world during my term."

"Shikaku, in the future you will be a figure recorded in Konoha's history just like the First Hokage."

"I'm optimistic about you."

How can I not want to repay such a wise leader?

Shikaku immediately stated that he would devote his life to Konoha until his death.

Swish.

knocking.

Anbu Jia came hurriedly with urgent military intelligence.

There were only Lord Hokage and his trusted confidant Konoha Wolong in the room, so naturally there was nothing to hide.

A hurriedly reported: "Hokage-sama, the headquarters of Kumogakure was attacked! The Fifth Raikage Darui was killed, and the Eight-Tails Killer Bee is fleeing towards Konoha."

"And the Akatsuki organization used a powerful ninjutsu in Kumogakure. The entire Kumogakure Village... no longer exists."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took the information scroll, glanced at it briefly, and then threw it to Shikaku. He said with some emotion: "It seems... Shikaku, you have been talking for nothing these days."

Shikaku took the information and scanned it carefully, frowning and saying, "Akatsuki, the next target will be Konoha. We need to prepare early, they are not ordinary terrorists."

Sarutobi Hiruzen lit his pipe, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's start the negotiations with Kumogakure anew. Let's protect them for the time being."

They still have value.

Shikaku nodded in understanding, put away the scroll, and hurried away. Konoha might have known this information before Kumogakure, otherwise Kumogakure representative Mabui wouldn't have been in the mood to argue with Shikaku during the negotiations.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his pipe, looked at the Hokage Rock in the distance, and fell into thought.

Jiraiya's persuasion failed.

Then the next decisive battle will be in Konoha.

It seems that we may have to use the sect’s resources.

If it is really impossible, let Nagato meet the ancestor.

"Ahem, Aka, go inform Orochimaru to get ready."

Anbu Jia took the order and left.

……

Ma Buyi was drinking tea in the conference room.

Although Kumogakure was surrendering, she at least had to try her best to minimize Kumogakure's losses at the negotiating table.

The less compensation you pay, the faster Yunyin will recover in the future.

If we endure hardships and work hard to govern the country, and once we have strong troops and horses, we may be able to fight Konoha again.

"But, we've reached our limit. If we continue to argue, we'll probably have to accept Konoha's unequal treaty."

Ma Buyi took a sip of tea and felt sad.

What cannot be achieved on the battlefield, there is very little that can be achieved at the negotiation table.

Furthermore, that Konoha Wolong was no easy opponent; she had never gained the upper hand in their verbal exchanges. A great reputation was a true honor.

Suddenly, the door to the conference room opened, and Nara Shikaku appeared at the door, his expression unusually solemn.

"Ms. Ma Buyi, the negotiations are over."

Ma Buyi's pupils suddenly constricted, and he turned pale with fear. What? Konoha still wants to fight? Aren't you the most peace-loving people?

Ma Buyi quickly spoke up to persuade him, "Mr. Lu Jiu, peace is precious. We can still discuss the details of the treaty."

Nara Shikaku shook his head slightly and said in a sad tone, "It's no longer necessary."

He walked slowly forward and placed an intelligence scroll on the negotiation table.

When Ma Buyi's eyes fell on the content, the whole world seemed to lose its sound in an instant.

The teacup slipped from his fingers and shattered on the floor.

"How...how could this happen?"

Nara Shikaku comforted her: "Ms. Mabui, please accept my condolences. Konoha will do its best to help you."

Chapter 58 How can the Thunder Shadow be appointed?

The vast subspace.

The three-person group has been renamed the "Subspace Konoha Branch".

After the last time, Yoriichi Tsugakuni rejected Konoha's offer.

He has already seen the ending. Since he has won, why should he change history?

"So what have you been watching lately?" Seeing that the other party refused to help, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked casually in the small group message.

"The book I read recently is One Hundred Years of Solitude."

Sure enough, the thoughts of literary youth are different.

Ace suggested on the spot that he read more Demon Slayer fan fiction and less classics.

Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed and replied, "If we could go back to the past, Shimura Danzo would have already been in prison for thirty years."

Nowadays, work is busy and time is limited.

The Third Hokage stopped chatting in the group and wrote a chapter titled "The Domination of the Marine King" before getting ready to go back to work.

Consciousness returns.

Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen began processing today's documents.

The document placed on top is the scroll sent by Ohnoki the Old Man.

He once again requested to go to the Land of Iron to convene a Five Kage meeting to discuss how to fight against the Akatsuki organization.

It seems that the destruction of Kumogakure scared him.

But why go to the Land of Iron for the Five Kage Summit? What if the Hokage encounters the assassin Nagato on the way? If they bring too many people, what if their house is robbed?

That's totally unreasonable. If we're going to open one, we can only open it in Konoha.

Besides, there are no five Kage now, at most three Kage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately marked the document with a big red X and wrote down his opinion.

"It is feasible to hold a Five Kage summit, but the location needs to be discussed. If it is held in Konoha, it would be excellent."

"咚咚-"

knocking

"Enter."

The one who pushed the door open was Shikaku.

"Hokage-sama. The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki's team has arrived at the Konoha border. Should we let them in?"

A perfect Jinchūriki can cause destruction within Konoha.

"These barbarians finally know how to say hello this time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted coldly, frowned, and thought for a moment: "Let them in. The Eight-Tails can't cause any trouble in Konoha now. Let's rent them a building and let them establish a government in exile."
