Chapter 259: 4 people held a meeting, 3 people opposed

Utane Koharu, who wanted to say a few words for the Third Hokage, shut up obediently after seeing this. She thought it would be better for her not to speak.

As long as the medical system is not involved.

This would avoid a fight between the Anbu and the Hokage's office, in which case she would be the one to suffer.

Look at Mitomon En, he is calm and composed, saying nothing, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

As long as it doesn't affect the logistics department, you can do whatever you want.

Utane Koharu just has a bad temper, she's not stupid.

Jingyi said nonchalantly:

"The village already has an Anbu, so there is no need for a second Anbu. Secondly, the village is still at war, and the manpower and material resources consumed every day are not small. At this time, you are still thinking about setting up a new department. Are you trying to delay the war, Hokage?"

"I don't have any!!!"

The Third Hokage gritted his teeth and said, "This is just a negotiation. Even if everyone thinks it is feasible, this department will not be established immediately."

"Since it's just an idea, it's better to kill it as soon as possible. During a war, the cost is huge."

Jingyi kindly reminded the Third Hokage: "The pressure after the war will not be small. The compensation for various losses will be enough to make the Ministry of Finance bleed. Lord Hokage will not forget these, right?"

"To be honest, the village does not have the spare capacity to set up a new department. The finances do not allow it, and it is not convenient to transfer personnel."

"Unless the families behind you are willing to select people to join this department."

As soon as these words were spoken, Mizuto Menyan immediately became alert.

He himself is unwilling to get involved, and the family behind him is even less willing to get involved.

He just hopes that the village can maintain the status quo instead of setting up any new departments.

"Hiruzen, you need to think about this."

If you want to set up a new department, I won't object, but if you target the family behind me, that won't work.

God knows what this department is used for.

What if you accidentally bring trouble to your family?

Originally, only Shizuka was against it, but after some words were spoken, even Mitomon En and Utane Koharu began to oppose it.

The Third Hokage felt inexplicably tired.

How come it is so difficult for me, a Hokage, to do anything?

This one opposes, and that one opposes too.

No privileges at all.

"Huh, I will seriously consider it."

Four people held a meeting, three of them opposed it, so the Third Hokage had to put the matter on hold for the time being.

The meeting ended here.

After the meeting, Jingyi got up and left.

He needs to inform Tsunade about this first to avoid a real commotion. Tsunade is still confused, so why didn't I know this?

What Jingyi didn't expect was that Mizuto Menyan quickly followed.

He even took the initiative to strike up a conversation: "Jingyi, why do you think Hiruzen would choose to set up a new department during this sensitive period?"

Ever since Mito Kado En took the initiative to back down and show goodwill, Shizuichi and Tsunade have not targeted him again.

But after all, we are not on the same path, so it is impossible to build a relationship.

Therefore, Jingyi was somewhat surprised that Mito Menyan took the initiative to approach him.

"The guy in prison has been released. He has a lot of black spots and charges. He can't come out in the open, so he can only take other paths."

Jingyi did not hide anything and leaked some key information to Mitomon Yan.

He believed that as long as Mizuto Kado En remained neutral, the information would be leaked and Mizuto Kado En would take the initiative to stand on his side and oppose the Third Hokage's establishment of the Root.

"For Danzo?"

As expected, Mizuto Menyan lost his composure on the spot.

Didn’t you, Shimura Danzo, just get released?

Why, are you so impatient to climb up?

Since they can't come out in public and have no position in secret, so they specially set up this department?

It's just nonsense.

You think about it yourself. Jingyi smiled and turned away.

The Third Hokage has been persuaded by Danzo Shimura to find ways to form the Root. The Root department will appear sooner or later, but...it's not that easy.

Anyway, don’t ask, the answer is that the Anbu are against it.

The Third Hokage also knew that it was not easy to convince others to agree, so he was not in a hurry.

As for Danzo Shimura?

We are already trying our best, don't worry, just wait and take care of it at home first.

Don't worry.

As the end of the year approaches, Konoha is once again covered in thick snow.

Jingyi came home from the market and saw someone lying on the sofa. She was surprised and said:

"It's rare that you're not on duty."

"Ah!"

Tsunade turned over and sat up, looking up proudly, revealing her slender neck: "Sis has money, and she's still on duty?"

As long as you are happy, I hope you can keep this money in your pocket for more than three days.

Shizuichi didn't want to discuss this with Tsunade.

Because if Tsunade keeps her money in her pocket, it will bite her thigh, and she can't keep it in her pocket, and she will give it all away sooner or later.

So it’s better not to waste your saliva.

"What are we eating today?"

Jingyi ignored her, and Tsunade didn't care. She ran to the kitchen door in her slippers and peered into the kitchen: "Isn't this chicken too small?"

Three chickens that looked a little malnourished were placed on the cutting board, which Tsunade disliked.

"You know nothing. This is a pheasant. It's only this big."

Jingyi chopped the chicken skillfully and said unhappily:

"We'll have chicken stewed with mushrooms later. By the way, your teacher held a high-level meeting earlier, but Fatty didn't attend."

"Oh, what does he want to do?"

Tsunade yawned and showed no interest in this. To her, the high-level meeting was not as attractive as the chicken stewed with mushrooms that she was about to eat.

"He wanted to set up a department that was similar to the Anbu, but different from the Anbu. However, I opposed it. The two elders were worried that the family members would be betrayed, so they rejected it with a strong attitude. This matter should be related to Shimura Danzo."

"I knew that this old guy would come out with no good intentions. You shouldn't have agreed to the old man."

Tsunade was indignant.

Even if you don't agree, Shimura Danzo will come out.

Shizuichi didn't argue with Tsunade.

While Shizuka and Tsunade were eating chicken stewed with mushrooms, several special guests came to the front-line camp.

Why special?

They are from the Sand Village, but under the banner of an envoy group, they are preparing to cross the war zone, enter the Land of Fire, and then go to the Fire Country Daimyo's Mansion.

After thinking for a while, the Third Kazekage finally made up his mind to negotiate.

But they cannot talk to Konoha directly, otherwise the Sand Village will be cut into pieces and bled.

First, send an envoy group to the Fire Country Daimyo's mansion to meet the Daimyo and negotiate in the name of the Wind Country Daimyo.

After we have dealt with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, we will use the Daimyo's name to negotiate with Konoha.

The main point is a roundabout way.

During this period of time, Konoha has been covered with heavy white snow, not to mention the Land of Wind. Even in the desert, it will snow, and the temperature will be even lower, with scorching sun during the day and freezing cold at night.

In addition to the temperature, the villagers' hope for a peaceful and lively New Year, coupled with the soaring prices of food and other supplies, became fundamental factors in promoting peace talks.
