Chapter 267 How Can You Have the Best of Both Worlds?

"Master Jingyi, Master Hokage invites you."

Looking at the member of the Hokage's Guard who was responsible for running errands in front of him, Jingyi looked at him speechlessly:

"Are you on duty again today?"

"Yes........"

The ninja of the Hokage's Guard smiled awkwardly, secretly reminding Jingyi to hurry up, as it was urgent.

There was something important, so Jingyi had to leave a note for Kushina and Nawaki, asking them to find a way to get food when they came back, either by themselves or go out to eat.

As for the little yellow-haired boy, he was good at doing things, so he didn't need to worry about the boy going hungry.

It was still the same few people as last time.

It was just that Jingyi didn't meet the fat man Akimichi Tofu on the way this time.

When Jingyi walked into the Hokage's office, he saw the huge meat mountain at a glance.

Noticing that the faces of the people present were rather solemn, Jingyi simply nodded to Akimichi Tofu as a greeting, and then sat on the sofa.

After Jingyi sat down.

The Third Hokage spoke:

"Everyone, there is some bad news. The envoy of the Daimyo's mansion brought a letter written by the Daimyo himself. As for the content of the letter, I think you all know it. The Sand Village successfully persuaded the Daimyo, and the Daimyo hopes that the village can negotiate with the Sand Village to end the war."

"Doesn't he know how much the village will lose by doing this?" Utatane Koharu was very angry.

How did the Sand Village persuade the Daimyo?

These people are too good at talking.

Before, they persuaded other villages by talking nonsense, and then they organized the Five Kage Talks. Now, it's good. It took only a few days to persuade the Daimyo.

So the Daimyo agreed to start peace talks between the two villages.

He also wrote a letter to Konoha, hoping that the Third Hokage would consider it carefully.

How can he consider it?

"The loss of interests is the village, and has nothing to do with the Daimyo's mansion."

The Third Hokage reminded Utatane Koharu.

If the interests of the Daimyo's mansion were lost, the Daimyo would not be so calm.

As for the peace talks between Konoha and Sand Village, how much Konoha lost has nothing to do with the Daimyo.

If the peace talks between Konoha and Sand Village lead to the loss of interests of the Daimyo Mansion, the Daimyo will definitely jump up eight feet high at the first time.

"Are we going to negotiate with Sand Village like this? Are you willing?"

The Third Hokage retracted his gaze.

What can he do if he is unwilling, unless he continues to fight under the pressure of the Daimyo Mansion and completely defeats the Sand Village, and then slowly talks. As for the Daimyo Mansion, he will not care about it for now, and will talk about it after the war is over.

But does the Third Hokage have the courage?

Jingyi knew that the old problem of the Third Hokage began to occur.

The more critical the time, the more indecisive this old guy is, and he is hesitant and entangled in various turns.

For example, now, he wants to win the war, but he doesn't want to offend the Daimyo.

He wants to have his cake and eat it too.

The question is, is there such a beautiful thing in the world?

In this war, the Sand Village will lose, that's for sure, but no one can guarantee how long it will take to defeat them.

On the daimyo's side, since the Sand Village successfully persuaded him, it means that the daimyo hopes to stop the war immediately. As long as Konoha does not follow his advice, he will definitely offend him.

"Huruzen, we all want to win the war, but you need to consider whether the benefits obtained from the Sand Village can be compared with the friendship of the daimyo."

Mitomon Yan made a more pertinent comparison.

"Huruzen, maybe my words are a bit harsh, but I still want to say, can you really squeeze out money from the Sand Village?"

Does the Sand Village have money?

Don't joke, they are the poorest.

Mitomon Yan is worried that the village is determined to reject the daimyo, offend the daimyo, and then grit their teeth to defeat the Sand Village, and the final result is that nothing is left.

Even if Konoha wants to squeeze benefits from the Sand Village, it must have the Sand Village.

If you can't get any benefit from the Sand Village and offend the daimyo, is this deal worthwhile?

Having said that, Mizutomon En didn't persuade too much. As an advisor to the elders, he had done what he should do.

As for how to choose, that's the Third Hokage's business.

After all, he is the Hokage.

"......."

The Third Hokage's face has darkened.

This is a situation he doesn't want to see, but Mizutomon En said the truth, and he said it for the sake of the village.

"By the way, the Sand Village still owes me a large debt. Even if they use ore to pay off the debt, it will be enough for them to toss for at least two or three years." At this critical moment, Jingyi said a fair word.

The Sand Village has a lot of debts, and I still have a large amount here.

Damn! !

What the hell!

The Third Hokage's mentality exploded directly.

If he just risked offending the daimyo and continued to fight with the Sand Village, and squeezed the Sand Village's war compensation as a winner, even if he didn't get anything good, the Third Hokage could still feel a little comforted.

At least the village won the war, and he, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was the winner, and he did not fail.

As for the daimyo, if he offended him, he would offend him, and then find a way to ease the relationship between the two sides.

As a result, when Shizuka's words came out, the Third Hokage couldn't hold it anymore.

The Sand Village must not delay the debt owed by Shizuka, so the question is, even if Konoha won the war, how should the Sand Village repay the war compensation?

How many years will it take to repay?

This will definitely become a big mess.

When the third Hokage thought that the village finally defeated the Sand Village, but the final result was a mess, he couldn't hold it anymore.

"So, we need to accept the daimyo's advice and negotiate with the Sand Village?"

The third Hokage's eyes swept over everyone, and when he came to Jingyi, he jumped over directly, because he knew that with Jingyi's temperament, he would probably not get involved in the troubles later.

These things, but the kind that can make people pull a lot of hair off, just belong to the troubles that Jingyi hates.

Therefore, he simply skipped Jingyi.

Why are you staring at me?

Akimichi Tofu was speechless when he saw the Third Hokage staring at him: "Monkey, my idea is similar to Menyan's. You know the basic situation of the Sand Village. Even if we win, to be honest, the benefits we can get are limited. I don't know if it is worth it to continue fighting at the risk of offending the daimyo."

"Last year and this year, the daimyo's support for the village, you have also seen it in your eyes, the amount of funding has always been very high."

The more money the daimyo gives, the greater the significance of the daimyo's existence, so that people in the village dare not ignore the existence of the daimyo.

There is no way, money is really fragrant.

It takes money to pay for the compensation of injured and injured ninjas, to train ninjas, and to develop the village. All of them are inseparable from money, but the daimyo can give Konoha a lot of money.

For this reason, Konoha cannot ignore the daimyo.
