Chapter 268 I praised you for your potential to be a Hokage, how could that be considered an insult?

"By the way, don't you want to set up a new department? Without money, let alone a new department, we'll be lucky to maintain the status quo.

When the war is over, the huge amount of pensions will be enough to support the village. I'm afraid you know better than anyone whether the Ministry of Finance can hold on."

The money for other things can be less, but the money for pensions absolutely cannot be less.

Otherwise, people will be disheartened and no one will be willing to fight for the village in the future.

He died fighting for the village, and as a result his family could not survive. In the long run, the ninjas will be afraid of death and will be timid in doing anything.

What the hell are you still thinking about a new department at this time?

The Third Hokage was so angry that he wanted to roll his eyes.

Mitomon Yan said faintly:

"The logistics department's supplies are depleted very badly. Even if the war is over, we need to replenish them as soon as possible. It's better to be prepared. Otherwise, if a war breaks out, the village won't even be able to get out the war supplies, which is very dangerous."

“The same goes for the health care system.”

Utane Koharu thought about it and decided to follow suit.

“There is a shortage of materials in the pharmaceutical sector.”

Jingyi added another blow very appropriately.

This can't be blamed on him being hard-hearted and liking to play the last-hit game.

In fact, there is a shortage of medicinal materials in the pharmaceutical sector, which means that enough drugs and medicines cannot be produced.

This would result in greater casualties in the war on the front lines.

Stop, stop.

Please stop talking. I beg you, please really stop talking.

At this moment, the Third Hokage felt like his brain was about to explode.

I thought it was just a complicated choice between two options, but after holding a high-level meeting, I found out that I had no choice at all! !

"Give me some time to think about it."

The Third Hokage was numb.

This high-level meeting was simply a nuisance to him.

At first glance, there seems to be no problem, but upon closer examination, you will be shocked to find that the village is full of holes and pits that need to be filled.

If you want to accomplish these things, you can’t do without money!!!

Money!!!

Before this, the Third Hokage had never thought of asking Shizuka for money. Now he wished that the money would be used as compensation to the village instead of to Shizuka.

If this money is used as compensation to the village, then the village will be able to make a significant comeback.

It won’t be like it is now, with holes and pits everywhere.

"Then you should have a good rest. I will go back first."

Akimichi Tofu stood up from the ground with difficulty, gave Jingyi a hint with his eyes, and then left the Hokage's office first.

Jingyi evacuated decisively.

As for the headache-inducing things, let the Third Hokage worry about it slowly.

As for the two advisory elders......

It's a good thing that Koharu Tsuchiya doesn't cause any trouble.

As for Mitomon En, he is now a well-known neutral person who only completes his own duties and basically doesn't care about other things.

After Jingyi and Qiu Daoqufeng left, the Third Hokage asked unwillingly: "Men Yan, do we have to agree to the Daimyo's suggestion?"

“Not necessarily.”

Mitomon En was stunned for a moment, then sat back in his chair and analyzed to the Third Hokage: "Even if we don't adopt the Daimyo's suggestion and continue to fight the Sand Village, at most we will offend the Daimyo. The Daimyo will be unhappy, and the support he gives to the village will definitely not be comparable to last year or this year, but it won't stop the village from developing."

"Between face and substance, the daimyo will definitely choose one. If you lose face, you lose it. There is nothing you can do about it, but you can't lose substance."

"The village cannot develop and its strength has weakened. If other villages attack us, we will not be able to withstand it. In the end, the Daimyo will suffer the most. I believe the Daimyo can figure it out."

You can definitely continue to fight, but what happens after that?

Then be prepared to tighten your belt.

Don't ever think about slapping the daimyo in the face and then expecting the daimyo to fully support your development. This is impossible.

"Besides, we have Tsunade. As long as Tsunade is here, we have a chance to ease the relationship with the Daimyo Prefecture."

The last sentence is also the most important.

No matter how angry the daimyo is, he will still give Tsunade's face and not make things difficult for Konoha, but it is not easy to convince Tsunade to do this.

"Huruzen, Hyuga Shizuichi and the fat man are gone. Tell us what you are thinking. Should we fight or give the Daimyo some face? We can prepare for it."

Utane Koharu didn't care about the twists and turns in the story. She just said one thing: do you want to fight or not?

Give me a definite answer, and we'll get ready.

If we don't want to fight, then we can just wait for good news from the Daimyo and wait for peace talks.

Mitokado En nodded, agreeing with Utane Koharu's words.

"Whoo~~~"

Holding the pipe between his lips, he took a deep puff of smoke, letting out a large amount of smoke as he exhaled, causing a thin layer of white smoke to float in the Hokage's office.

"Do you think the monkey will continue to fight?"

After leaving the Hokage's office, Akimichi Toukou took Jingyi towards his home. He had agreed to entertain him today, so it just happened to be on his way home.

"Most likely."

Jingyi thought for a moment and said, "Although our Hokage has a bad habit of being indecisive, as a ninja hero, he is not old yet and still has some courage. He doesn't want to make this opening. Once he accepts the goodwill of the Daimyo Mansion this time, if a war breaks out in the future, others can't win and just say good things to the Daimyo Mansion, and we will negotiate. Then what's the meaning of the village's existence?"

In the final analysis, it is the same old saying, the village and Daming Prefecture are equal, and the relationship between the two sides is a cooperative relationship.

You can't tell the village what to do just because you pay, especially about war.

Once this precedent is set, there is no telling how much trouble will be waiting.

"Well, you have the potential to be a Hokage." Akimichi Qufeng chuckled and patted Jingyi's shoulder in praise.

"No."

Jingyi shook off Qiu Daoqufeng's hand: "I was kind enough to analyze it with you, why are you scolding me?"

"????"

Did I curse anyone?

Having the potential to become Hokage, shouldn't this be considered a compliment in Konoha?

Also, you've already put on the Hokage robe, how can it become an insult?

"You can say anything, but don't tell me I can be Hokage!!!"

Jingyi's expression was very serious, and he was not joking with Qiu Daoqufeng at all.

"........"

So serious?

Not to the point.

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong, Fatty, I'm wrong, ah bah, senior, I'm wrong, then please explain it properly, how can this be considered an insult."

Qiu Daoqufeng decisively raised his hands in surrender, and after discovering that he and Jingyi were not of the same generation, he quickly changed his words.
