Chapter 240 How can this be considered a threat? This is just an appetizer!

No matter how much they talked, the Third Hokage was unwilling to give in.

Either we break up or each village pays 100 million taels as compensation, and we in Konoha will promise not to use puppets in war or to attack villages with puppets.

One hundred million taels is much less than five hundred million taels, but it is still an astronomical figure.

This is not a small amount.

The muscles on the Third Kazekage's face twitched whenever he thought of such a huge amount of compensation.

Ōnoki even cursed his mother several times on the spot, but the Third Hokage refused to give in.

One hundred million taels, this is the final bottom line. You don’t have to give it to us, and we will just pretend that the Five Kage Summit has never been held.

In fact, Jingyi's bottom line is 200 million, but considering the price of 200 million, the Sand Village and the Iwagakure will turn the table, so he can only give in and stick to the bottom line of 100 million taels.

The Cloud Village and the Mist Village can come up with this amount of money, and the Rock Village can also come up with it if they grit their teeth and tighten their belts.

Sand Village... Just ignore them. At most, they are just a debt. Don't expect them to come up with so much money at once.

The Third Hokage was smoking calmly, and he was not the one who was anxious now:

"Everyone, you think that the compensation of 100 million taels is a large amount. In fact, for the village, it is strictly forbidden to use puppets for war and sneak attacks. The losses will be greater. This means that we will invest more manpower and material resources in the war."

"Attacking the enemy's village was originally part of war, but now it has been cruelly taken away from us."

"War is a debt that is difficult to settle. I think everyone has a ledger in their hearts."

Reduce ninja casualties, reduce the consumption of war supplies, and if you do the math, you will find that there is nothing wrong with what the Third Hokage said.

It's just that no one is willing to take out such a large sum of money all at once.

The Third Raikage frowned and asked, "Hokage, can't there be any fewer?"

"Sorry, no."

Still want to keep lowering the price?

That's impossible. If you try to lower the price, how can I explain this to Jingyi?

There is finally an opportunity to ease the relationship between the two sides, and the Third Hokage will definitely not let it slip away.

Ever since he started helping with the negotiations with all his heart, Jingyi's attitude towards him has improved a bit. It can't be said how much better it is, but at least he doesn't use sarcastic words to attack her when they meet, and they can now communicate normally.

This is a huge improvement for the Third Hokage.

So you have to seize the opportunity.

How to do?

The Third Mizukage looked at the Third Raikage.

There is no problem for the Cloud Village and the Mist Village to come up with the money, the key lies in the Iwagakure and the Sand Village. The Iwagakure will eventually have to squeeze in...but Ōnoki doesn't want to give the money at all.

This will lead to further economic and financial problems for the village.

Not to mention the Sand Village, they are paupers themselves.

Even if the price is agreed upon, it is still a question whether the two villages can get the money.

I do not know either.

The Third Raikage himself was also having a headache. The Cloud Village had money, but it was impossible for the Cloud Village to help pay for it.

He, the Third Raikage, is not a sucker.

"teacher!!!"

At this time, Luo Sha ran into the meeting room anxiously.

The conversation in the conference room stopped.

The Third Kazekage glanced at his disciple and asked:

"Luo Sha, is there something wrong?"

"Teacher, this is urgent information sent from the village."

Luo Sha immediately handed the scroll to the Third Kazekage.

The Third Hokage said secretly: Here it comes.

Could it be that Chiyo suffered another defeat on the front line?

Didn’t I tell him to focus on defense?

Let’s wait until the Five Kage Summit comes to an end before we talk about anything else. How come something happened right after they left? Is Chiyo really old?

Feeling a little more dissatisfied with Chiyo in his heart, the Third Kazekage opened the scroll with a normal expression and began to read it in front of the other four Kages.

Unfortunately, the Third Kazekage's thinking was a little off, and this matter really had little to do with Chiyo.

After taking a quick look at the contents of the scroll, the Third Kazekage's expression changed instantly. He stood up angrily and yelled at the Third Hokage:

"Hokage, what do you mean by this? Sending puppets to attack the Sand Village during the Five Kage Summit?"

what?

The Sand Village was attacked by puppets?

Others were also not calm.

In response to this, the Third Hokage smoked calmly and said calmly:

"This was done by Shizuka. He felt that the Sand Village had inexplicably initiated the Five Kage Summit to target him, which was somewhat disrespectful to him. Plus, you guys were not sincere, so he gave you a gift."

"This puppet attack is just an appetizer, because not many puppets were deployed. Kazekage, be thankful that Jingyi has no more puppets left to consume, otherwise the Sand Village would not have suffered a heavy loss."

"By the way, Jingyi also said that everyone should consider it for themselves. It's okay to restrict him from using puppets, but you have to show sincerity. Otherwise, the next village to be attacked may be the Rock Village, the Mist Village, or the Cloud Village."

"bump!!!"

The Third Raikage was the first to hold back and slammed the table and asked, "Hokage, are you threatening us?"

"No, it's not a threat, just a small warning."

The Third Hokage looked at the Third Raikage with a forced smile.

You are right, I am threatening you, but I don't admit it.

"That is to say, your village's Hyuga Shizuka still has a lot of puppets in his hands?"

Ohnoki is more concerned about this.

The Third Kazekage was very angry, but from what the Third Hokage said, the attack on the Sand Village was not as serious as imagined, because not many puppets were involved.

To be precise, there are no more puppets for consumption.

Does this mean that Hinata Shizuka has other types of puppets in his hands?

What is the specific quantity?

The Third Hokage answered Ohnoki's question and began to praise Shizuka against his conscience:

"Jingyi is a good kid. At first, he was only willing to use animal corpses to make puppets. Later, he cooperated with Orochimaru and used the corpses of ninjas. However, the puppets were not made by him."

"It's just that this kid felt that using ninja corpses to make puppets was somewhat disrespectful, so he researched a new type of material. As a result, all these puppets made from ninja corpses were used as expendable puppets."

"There are none left at the moment. Maybe there's still some Salamander Hanzo left?"

Ohnoki's face fell, "Hokage, this joke is not funny."

The only puppet consumed is Salamander Hanzo?

They were well aware of how terrifying this demigod was. Even though he did not appear to be very powerful, he was actually a huge threat, mainly because his poison was too terrifying.

You may be able to defeat him, but he can poison all your people.

Think about it, who wouldn’t be afraid of a guy driving around with a poisonous gun?

In a head-on confrontation, no one present would be afraid of Hanzo of the Salamander, otherwise the Third Kazekage would not have humiliated him with such a condescending attitude.

If the duel were to be held from a different angle, such as setting the battle location in the ninja village, anyone would be at a loss.

Salamander Hanzo is the typical Douluo version of Poison Douluo.
