Chapter 238 Yan: Tsunade, I am just the Hokage's assistant, not the Hokage!

After being promoted to Hokage's assistant, Yan had a lot more things to do.

To be precise, Tsunade moved some important matters to his side and let him handle them.

Especially regarding matters outside the village, Tsunade doesn't want to touch them at all now.

He only wanted to deal with the village's troubles and try to fill the hole left by the Third Hokage as soon as possible so that Konoha can resume stable development.

Before taking the position of Hokage's assistant, Yan didn't even dare to imagine that there would be so many things.

Tsunade specially cleared out an office for him in the Hokage's office building so that Yan could handle official business.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in."

Yan, who was reading a document, shouted without even raising his head.

When the door opened, Shizune walked in with a cup of coffee.

Ever since he sat in the Hokage's office building, Yan almost fell in love with this refreshing drink and always felt that drinking tea was not satisfying.

Shizune put the coffee on the table and handed over a document.

"Thank you."

As soon as he said thank you, the smile on Yan's face froze. He rubbed his temple with a headache and asked:

"Why does Tsunade send all these documents to me? I'm just the Hokage's assistant, not the Hokage!!"

"This was sent from the Land of Grass, so the Hokage said it would be better for you to handle it. At this stage, you are in charge of the outside affairs, and she is in charge of the inside affairs."

Shizune made a playful joke.

Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes. He said, "I am in charge of external affairs and I am in charge of internal affairs," just like a couple.

After taking a sip of coffee, Yan opened the file:

"What are the people from the Grass Country planning to do? Are they planning to form an alliance with the village again?"

To be honest, the Land of Grass is worthy of being a country and village named after grass. This country and even the ninja village are fucked up.

Typical fence-sitter!

Constantly wavering between Konoha and Iwagakure.

During the war, the Kusagakure Village happily served as dogs for the Iwagakure Village and acted as a guide to attack Konoha.

After the war, the Iwagakure could no longer gain any benefits, so they immediately turned around and bowed to Konoha, frequently showing their goodwill.

What’s speechless is that even though the Third Hokage was backstabbed by the Kusagakure Village several times, he was able to accept the Kusagakure Village’s kindness every time.

The reason is to show Konoha's friendliness.

I show off your uncle!!!

For a crappy village like this, why don’t we just destroy him directly, and consider it a good deed, and why do we accept his kindness?

The funniest thing is that on the surface the Kusagakure Village is constantly trying to build relationships with Konoha, but in private they are actually going against Konoha in various ways.

They obtain information from Konoha and sell it for money, study Konoha's ninjutsu, lower prices and compete with Konoha for commissions. There is nothing that Kusagakure can't do, unless you can think of it.

"Probably, that's about it."

Shizune tilted her head and thought for a moment:

"The envoy from the Land of Grass is still in the village. The Hokage-sama told you to take care of the arrangements."

"Then get them out! Konoha doesn't need this kind of fence-sitter who only betrays his own allies."

Damn allies!

When there are benefits, you are an ally. When there are no benefits, you are nothing. It’s good enough that you don’t stab us in the back.

This is the case with the Kusagakure Village and the Sand Village. Yan has no good feelings towards these allies.

"Hey? Don't you want to meet me?"

Shizune was frightened.

"It is said that the envoy from the Grass Country showed great sincerity this time, and even made a detour from the Daimyo Prefecture to come here."

"He really knows how to take advantage of loopholes."

If this matter hadn't happened, Konoha would naturally not give face.

But the other party first went to the daimyo's mansion to curry favor with him, and then came to Konoha...

It's better to give face to the Buddha than to the monk. As long as there is a relationship with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Konoha can't lose face and ask them to get out. They have to meet each other.

"Then let them wait in the conference room. I'll be there soon."

Since becoming Hokage, Tsunade has received several grants from the Daimyo Prefecture, which eased the village's tight finances.

Apart from anything else, just because the daimyo was willing to pay, the envoy from the Grass Country had to meet him.

However, Yan has no intention of bothering with the Grass Kingdom as for any alliance cooperation.

"I'll make arrangements."

Shizue trotted out in her high heels, looking at the closed door, and Yan was thinking about a question.

Is this girl the Hokage's secretary or the Hokage's assistant secretary?

She claims to be the Hokage's secretary and runs towards him all day long.

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade, who wanted to drink some water, looked up at the office and immediately frowned:

"Could that damn girl Jingyin have gone to Yan's place again? Whose secretary is she?"

When this damn girl comes back, I must have a good talk with her.

Otherwise, you will be sold out and help the other party count the money.

Muttering a few words, Tsunade continued to count the accounts, but the more she counted, the more frightened and irritated she became:

"Ahhhhhh, so annoying!!!"

Tsunade scratched her hair in frustration, lying on the table and wanted to curse.

"After filling so much, the hole is still so big. What on earth is the old man doing!!!"

Ever since she took over this mess, she hasn't had a good day, and has been bothered by a bunch of trivial matters all day long.

I kept trying to find ways to make money to fill the hole, but the hole was too big and no matter how much I tried, it was never filled.

The messenger from Kusagakure Village received Shizune's notification and immediately brought people to the conference room in the Hokage's office building.

"grown ups."

After Yan walked into the meeting room, everyone stood up and saluted.

Shizue obediently stood behind Yan and acted as a secretary, helping Yan take notes.

"Please don't call me sir. You are all from the Land of Grass, not from the village."

I appreciate your kindness, but please put away your politeness. It doesn't work on me.

Ignoring the ugly smile on the face of the Kusagakure envoy, Yan walked to the main seat and sat down, and asked directly:

"The Land of Grass visited Konoha this time, and they went through a lot of circles, making the Daimyo very happy before coming to Konoha. What do you want to do?"

"Haha, sir, you are joking. It is proper etiquette to visit the daimyo first. There is no other meaning."

Sensing the dissatisfaction in Yan's words, the envoy from the Land of Grass explained with a smile.

"Okay, tell me your purpose. I'm very busy and don't have much time to sit here and chat with you."

Yan Jiang's distrust and dislike for the Grass Kingdom are fully demonstrated.

He is not the Third Hokage who likes to save face and hear nice words.

Good words have to be said by whoever says them. It’s better to save your time on those ungrateful people who are hard to tame.

Yan doesn't want to do anything that disgusts himself.

Upon hearing this, the Grass Country envoy quickly stood up and took out a document:

"Sir, I came to Konoha with sincere greetings from the Daimyo and Kusagakure. I hope the village can reach cooperation with Konoha and form an alliance. This is a great honor for both villages..."

"It's good for your Kusagakure, but I don't see how it's good for Konoha."

Yan interrupted the other party and accused him unceremoniously:

"Don't say these nice words in front of me, I don't like to hear them.

All I know is that when the Kusagakure and Konoha formed an alliance, only Kusagakure was the one that benefited, while Konoha was always at a disadvantage.

That would be fine, but the Kusagakure has been using Konoha's support to dig up Konoha's roots and damage Konoha's interests.

I remember these things clearly.”
