Chapter 245 After weighing the pros and cons, the Raikage personally went to Konoha
I really want to punch you to death, you little brat, you are getting more and more outrageous!
You took advantage of me, then turned the tables and accused me of taking advantage of you, flirted with me in all kinds of ways, and even said that I was stupid!
You, Uchiha Hiko, are playing with fire, do you know that?
Looking at Tsunade gritting her teeth, Yan blinked blankly:
"Shizune, what happened to our Hokage? He is so angry, is it because Jiraiya caused trouble again?"
"Pfft~~~"
Shizune burst out laughing.
The next second, he was met with Tsunade's death gaze. He quickly put away his smile and apologized apologetically:
"I'm sorry Hokage-sama, I'll hold back next time."
"Okay, I don't know what you two are thinking."
Tsunade waved her hands impatiently, feeling very tired.
Whose secretary is this?
The elbows are bent outwards!
It's all your fault. You used your beauty to abduct my secretary.
Tsunade was furious and couldn't help but glare at Yan.
“I’ll leave this matter to you!
If the Raikage asks the village to send someone, then you go there in person, and I won't get involved in these matters."
After rolling her eyes at Yan twice, Tsunade turned and left.
When he reached the door of the office, he turned around and said to Yan:
"Please treat me to dinner tonight, I want to drink!"
You didn't give her any wine? She's so angry.
Yan looked at Jingyin, Jingyin sighed helplessly, and Yan understood immediately.
The little money that was saved with great difficulty was squandered by Tsunade, so there was no money left even for drinking, unless she bought on credit.
If you marry a woman like Tsunade to help manage the money, even the richest man in the ninja world would not be able to withstand her squandering.
That night, Tsunade gave Yan a good meal. What was even worse was that she got drunk and stayed at Yan's house again...
In the Cloud Ninja Village, in the Raikage's office building, although it was late at night, the Raikage Ai had not yet gone to bed.
At this moment he was looking at the news coming from Konoha.
After receiving the notice, the high-ranking officials of the Cloud Ninja Village also crawled out of their warm beds and came to the Raikage's office.
"Damn it, is Konoha planning to use me as a fat sheep to slaughter?"
After reading the message in the scroll, Ai was so angry that he couldn't help but slam the table a few times.
The group of people were afraid that he would use too much force and break the desk.
"Look, Konoha is getting more and more outrageous. They really want to treat our Kumogakure as fools and ask for money as soon as they open their mouths."
Want money?
What is Konoha planning to do?
We are taking joint action, and you still have the nerve to ask for money!
The Cloud Ninja Village doesn't need your Konoha's money.
The senior executives were confused.
Everyone took turns reading the scroll, and finally understood why Ai said that.
Konoha is really... blatant!
"Is Konoha's finances really this tight?"
Some people couldn't help but raise questions.
You people in Konoha are exaggerating a bit. This is not the way to cry poor.
"Cough cough!"
The representative of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning coughed and said:
"The Daimyo has collected a lot of intelligence, including the fact that Tsunade has repeatedly asked the Daimyo for money!
As expected, Konoha's finances do have some problems.
It seems that the hole dug during the reign of the Third Hokage was a bit too big.
As a result, after Tsunade became Hokage, she has been troubled by money issues. "
After hearing what the representative from Daming Prefecture said, everyone finally reacted.
Konoha is not looking for excuses to cry poor, but it is really fucking poor!!
"......"
At this moment, Ai really wanted to roll his eyes.
He thought Konoha was looking for an excuse to kill him!
It turns out that others are really poor, they are not crying or making excuses.
"No wonder Konoha is willing to sell the information about Akatsuki."
Ai frowned and said:
"So how should Konoha respond?
Just give them the money?
If that happens, I'm afraid other villages will also reach out to us."
The Iwagakure might not do that, and Ōnoki couldn't bring himself to do that.
However, the Sand Village and the Mist Village promised to follow Konoha in crying poor and asking the Cloud Village for money.
Even though the Cloud Ninja Village is rich, it is impossible for them to be taken advantage of and stick their necks out to be slaughtered.
"Hehehe..."
Just as everyone was thinking about this question, the daimyo representative couldn't help but laugh, and everyone looked at him.
Facing everyone's inquiring eyes, the Daimyo representative smiled and said:
"Everyone, I think that Konoha asking for money is actually a good thing for us, a very good thing.
But the village needs to keep it secret.”
"Isn't Konoha short of money and unable to participate in this military operation?
Then we'll give it to him!
But you have to sign a confidentiality agreement.
Konoha cannot publicize this matter to the outside world. As long as we give money, Konoha will stand on our side and speak for us.
We can also use this to convince other villages to join in.”
“Even when giving money, you might as well give more to cut off Konoha’s chance to compete for benefits.
We even asked Konoha to help us gain more benefits."
The joint action of the five major ninja villages is not as simple as it seems.
How many people each village sends and how much benefits are distributed are all things that need to be decided after all kinds of negotiations and wrangling.
Doesn’t Konoha want money?
We will give it to you, but the interests and benefits of Konoha will belong to our Cloud Ninja Village.
We also don't force Konoha to send out a large number of people to work hard.
But at the critical moment, Konoha must help the Cloud Village to gain benefits.
At least you can't be so lazy and play neutral after receiving the money.
It seems to make sense.
In the Raikage's office, many people's eyes lit up, and even Ai's frown relaxed.
The village gave money to Konoha in private and was treated like a fat sheep, that's right!
In return, if the village gives money, then Konoha must support the village’s military operations, at least on the surface!
When fighting for interests, we must also stand on the side of the village.
After calculating this way, it seems that there is no loss in paying money, it just depends on how big Konoha's appetite is.
If it's not too much, what about giving them some money for military operations?
"This is a matter of great importance. I will go to Konoha in person to negotiate with them."
Ai slammed the table and stood up. He felt that he needed to go to Konoha in person.
It involves some important interests and huge amounts of money.
Samui and Ma Buyi could not make such a decision. Instead of passing the message around, it would be better for them to go there in person.
There is also the risk of being robbed when delivering messages.
Once the underground conspiracy between two villages is known to other villages.
New troubles will come.
Therefore, Ai decided to go to Konoha in person.
He left as soon as he said he would. Ai, who had already become impatient, instructed the village leaders to keep an eye on the curious rabbi and not let him run around.
Then he took a few guards and headed straight to Konoha at night.
There was no movement from the Cloud Ninja Village. Samui and Ma Buyi stayed in their residence obediently and did not go anywhere.
Tsunade thought the matter was over.
At this time, the Raikage had secretly arrived outside the village and sent someone to notify Konoha to prevent any misunderstanding from leaking the news.
"The Raikage is here in person?"
When Tsunade received the news, she thought the Anbu people were joking.
She was still waiting for a reply from the Cloud Village, but then the Raikage arrived in person.
It is enough to see how sincere the Cloud Ninja Village is.
