Chapter 221 Knowing the Hongmen Banquet, I Had to Go
Regardless of whether he goes to this meeting of the Five Shadows or not, the Third Hokage needs to first understand the reasons and process of holding this meeting.
Facing the third generation Hokage's inquiry, the envoy from the Cloud Ninja Village explained: "Sir, this Five Kage Talks was not initiated by the village. The initiator was the Suna Ninja Village. Our village is only responsible for sending invitations. As for why it was initiated Five Shadows Talk..."
The envoy from Yunren Village stopped immediately when he said this.
The Third Hokage understood what the other party meant.
As for why the Five Shadows Conference was held, it is not something that a small messenger like him can know. Do you want to know?
Ask the Third Raikage.
Sand Ninja Village! ! !
The Third Hokage felt bad when he heard the other party saying that the initiator of the Five Kage Talks was Suna Ninja Village.
He feels that there will definitely be nothing good waiting for him in this Five Shadows Talk.
Maybe Konoha will be targeted.
So here comes the question, why did Sand Ninja Village nervously initiate the convening of the Five Kage Conference?
There's nothing wrong with them.
If the Five Kage Talks were initiated because of the war, then the Third Hokage could only say that the people in your Sand Ninja Village are very sick.
It was you who started the war, and it was you who were beaten, and it was you who called for the Five Shadows Conference.
After a moment of silence, the Third Hokage then asked:
“Have other villages responded to the talks?”
The Third Hokage didn't know what the Suna Ninja Village and the Cloud Ninja Village did together, so that the Cloud Ninja Village would agree to hold this Five Kage Conference, but what about the other villages.
As long as Iwa Ninja Village and Kiri Ninja Village choose not to participate, the Third Hokage will choose to ignore this Five Kage Talks.
Because Konoha is at war with Suna Ninja Village.
I don't have time to attend any Five Shadows Conference.
"Several adults from other villages have met."
The envoy from Yun Ninja Village is still honest.
"..."
The Third Hokage.
This is troublesome.
Maybe the village will be targeted.
A meeting of the Five Shadows was held, and as a result, the other four villages negotiated, and Konoha received a notice and invitation. What does this mean?
This means that Konoha will be targeted in this Five Kage Talks.
The most annoying thing is that the other four villages are participating. Konoha has no choice but to participate, unless you want to be directly targeted.
The four villages jointly exerted pressure and targeted... The Third Hokage's scalp went numb when he thought of that scene.
Damn it, Suna Ninja Village doesn't care about personnel.
Cursing a few times, the Third Hokage immediately asked the Hokage Guards to inform the Elders and Tsunade that he needed to discuss it in detail with others.
Soon, the two elders and Tsunade who had received the invitation came.
It's just that when Koharu went to bed, she looked at Tsunade with a somewhat unfriendly look.
Tsunade chose to ignore her.
She is just an old woman who relies on her old age and is not worthy of her attention.
Seeing the two elders sitting next to each other at the desk, Tsunade, who didn't want to get together, sat on the sofa far away and asked first:
"Old man, I'm busy right now. Is there anything important you want to do with us?"
"Very important."
The Third Hokage sighed, picked up the invitation and shook it:
"The invitation letter sent by the Sandaime Raikage. They want to hold a five-kage meeting. Suna Ninja Village is the leader. The other four villages have already negotiated. They are just informing us."
There's trouble.
Mito Kadoyan's face darkened, Tsunade also put down the Erlang legs she had just raised, and turned to bed. Koharu no longer cared about venting her anger with Tsunade.
"What do they mean by this? They informed us after consultation. This is clearly targeted."
Mito Kadoyan said solemnly: "It is targeted, and there is nothing we can do."
If it was one village, even if it was targeted by two villages, Konoha would be able to fight back forcefully, but if the five great ninja villages and four villages united, could Konoha fight back?
cannot.
Tsunade didn't quite understand:
"Is it worth convening the Five Kage Conference just for a war? Can the Suna Ninja Village afford the benefits and costs required to convince other villages?"
Everyone thought that the Five Shadows Conference was held because of the war.
"We won't know the details until we go to the Iron Country and attend the meeting."
The Third Hokage kept thinking in his mind: "The person who comes here is not good."
Tsunade is right, it's just a war, it's already been fought like this, what about your Sand Ninja Village?
The most outrageous part is that Suna Ninja Village also successfully convinced other villages.
It's so outrageous that his mother opened the door for outrageous things. It's so outrageous.
"Do we really want to attend this meeting that is clearly aimed at us?"
Xiaochun was very unhappy when she went to bed.
She felt that Konoha should not participate in this kind of targeted Five Kage talks.
This old lady spoke carelessly, and Tsunade asked angrily: "Can Konoha withstand the joint pressure from the other four villages?"
If you want to refuse to participate in such a meeting of the Five Kages, unless Senju Hashirama is resurrected, or there is a strong man like Senju Hashirama to suppress everyone, Konoha will have to abide by the rules of the Five Ninja Villages.
"Tsunade is right, we have no other choice."
In order to prevent Koharu and Tsunade from arguing when they went to bed, the Third Hokage spoke in time:
"Go, I must go, but Suna Ninja Village wants to unite other villages to target us, but Suna Ninja Village has no intention of doing so, because Suna Ninja Village cannot afford the cost. I think it may be some targeted prevention."
He tapped his fingers heavily on the table several times.
The Third Hokage said:
"Tsunade, after I leave, the village will be handed over to you. I believe you can handle the affairs of the village well, and Men Yan will cooperate with you. As for Xiaoharu... you can stay the same."
Mito Menyan can also help Tsunade and sleep with Koharu...it would be a good thing if he doesn't hold back.
"As for the security..."
When the Hokage travels, he must pay attention to the security aspect. Originally, Mito Monohan wanted Tsunade to go with him.
If it doesn't work, let Jingyi return to the village and follow the Third Hokage to the Kingdom of Iron.
But it's not impossible if Tsunade stays, what about the selection of guards.
If you want to protect Hokage Zhou Shuang, you need to select people who are strong enough to control the situation. If the guards you choose are too weak, it will not be certain who will protect whom when conflicts and battles occur.
"While I am in charge of the village, the more suitable candidates to serve as the Hokage's bodyguards include Sakumo-senpai, Shizuichi, and Orochimaru."
Tsunade paused and continued: "And Shimura Danzo."
Although she didn't want to mention this person, Tsunade said it anyway.
After all, Tsunade has no intention of releasing Shimura Danzo, so it's better to keep this troublemaker in prison.
"Orochimaru can't do it. He is needed on the front line. The convening of the Five Kage Talks does not mean that the war will stop."
The Third Hokage shook his head.
