Chapter 298: Do you dare to eat poison wrapped in honey?

You are not kidding!!

The pupils of the Third Hokage's eyes trembled. He couldn't believe that Jingyi had a solution to the problem that had troubled him for several months!!!

Looking at Jingyi who looked confident and smiled without saying a word, the Third Hokage knew that this guy was waiting for him to show his sincerity.

I have a solution, but I won't tell you easily.

Either you guess it yourself or show your sincerity.

Damn!

He was caught again.

The Third Hokage cursed inwardly.

"As long as Ino-Shika-cho doesn't cross my bottom line, the position of the jonin squad leader will always belong to them. Is this sincerity enough?"

What is the bottom line of the Third Hokage?

The throne of the Hokage.

As long as this bottom line is not touched, he will not attack Zhu Ludie.

Now Zhu Ludie can rest assured.

After all, they were the first family to take sides, although it was because of Uzumaki Mito, but the fact that Ino-Shika-Chou was able to stand resolutely on Tsunade's side was also a sacrifice of a lot of benefits.

Jingyi remembered all these things, but she just didn't have a good opportunity to make up for them.

Arranging Ino-Shika-Chou's people to enter the Anbu is just a matter of both parties hitting it off, it's a win-win for both of us.

When there is a way to benefit Zhu Lu Die, Jing Yi will not ignore it.

As for alliances, you get what you give.

As long as he doesn't cross the bottom line of the Third Hokage, the position of the leader of the Jonin Squad cannot be touched by the Third Hokage. This condition is definitely good news for Ino-Shika-Chou.

The Third Hokage expressed his sincerity.

Jingyi raised her head, looked at the sky and said casually:

"Hokage, you can write an apology letter to the Daimyo, telling him the impact of the village accepting peace talks at this time. Make the impact more serious. When that happens, Konoha will have a hard time, and neither will the Daimyo's mansion. Also, tell him that you were wrong and shouldn't have refused the peace talks."

"But it's too late to say anything now, so you decided to reduce the size of Konoha ninja after the war is over."

"what?"

The Third Hokage exclaimed.

There is nothing wrong in asking him to write an apology letter privately in the name of Hokage, and it is okay to exaggerate a little, but when it comes to Konoha's plan to reduce the size of ninjas, the Third Hokage will not remain calm.

This kind of thing is no joke.

If there is any movement, the whole Konoha will be in chaos.

"It's fake, it's fake. How could the number of ninjas in the village be reduced?"

Jingyi silently comforted the Third Hokage: "This is for the Daimyo to hear. Let him know that the village's finances are very tight and development has stagnated. Without money, the village can only choose to reduce the number of ninjas."

"Be direct and tell him the consequences of eliminating the ninja."

What will happen if Konoha massively reduces the number of ninjas?

The answer is clear: wars will continue to break out.

The decrease in the number of ninjas means that Konoha’s war potential has come to an end. Without the war potential, would they dare to start a war?

There is no way to fight a war, and then everyone can take a bite of the Fire Nation.

You know, the resource-rich Fire Nation is a big piece of fat meat in the eyes of every village, and everyone wants to take a bite.

"Will the daimyo restrain himself and give the village enough funds for development?"

The Third Hokage was deeply suspicious.

You want to eat shit!

Pay back enough money. It would be great if I could give you the delayed grant. Pay back enough money!!

You, Sarutobi Hiruzen, are so shameless.

"It's impossible to have enough funds, but the delayed funds will definitely be delivered to Konoha in time. If the Daimyo Mansion does not make any moves within ten days, then withdraw all the ninjas from the camps near the Land of Earth and the Land of Iron, and find someone to spread the news. It would be best if the ninja world knew that Konoha was preparing to reduce the number of ninjas because of a lack of money."

"This is forcing the emperor to abdicate!!!"

The Third Hokage was filled with black lines on his face.

How dare you say that.

Jingyi nonchalantly spread his hands like a little bear:

"Besides this, is there any other solution, Hokage?"

Forcing abdication depends on the circumstances.

If you do as I say, it will only scare the daimyo, and it will not be considered a real abdication.

As long as Daming knows and is scared, he will definitely send the money over.

Besides, the one who forced the emperor to abdicate was not me, Hyuga Shizuka, but you, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen!!

It doesn't matter what the result is, because the daimyo will hold you responsible.

And the frightened ninjas in the village will blame you too.

In short, this is a poison wrapped in honey. It won’t kill people, but it can make people feel like they are in ecstasy.

Eating it can solve the big troubles in the village. Although the follow-up impact is great, it is nothing compared to the current troubles in the village. As long as we are prepared, it is easy to calm down.

It just affects your reputation.

So, choose.

You want to eat it or not.

"I need to think about it."

The Third Hokage did not express his opinion on the spot. According to Jingyi, even if the problem could be solved, he, the Third Hokage, would definitely be hated by the daimyo and would be resented by many ninjas in the village.

Ninja is a full-time profession. Reducing the number of ninjas in large numbers means that many ninjas will become ordinary people.

The question is, how can these ninjas who have no life skills and no ability to make money survive?

Even if it was just a lie, the ninjas would curse when they found out the truth.

Jingyi doesn't care about the subsequent impact, because he is not the one who is hated, nor is he the one who is scolded.

"Hokage-sama, please take your time to think about it."

Jingyi waved her hand and withdrew decisively.

It's the late night now and we've finished our business. Who's interested in accompanying an old man like you to watch the stars here?

If you want to worry, just worry about it yourself.

As I said, whoever is the Hokage is the one who is worried.

The next morning, Jingyi arrived at the Anbu base. As soon as he entered the door, Nara Shikashin stood up anxiously.

Jingyi had already sent someone to deliver the news to Ino-Shika-cho about what happened last night. As for the details, Jingyi had not yet said them, so Nara-Shika-shin came here early in the morning to wait.

"This number." Jingyi raised a finger and shook it at Nara Shikashin.

Fortunately, he raised his index finger instead of the middle finger, otherwise it would not be a hint but an insult.

Why does it feel weird to shake this finger?

Nara Shikashin didn't think much about it, but asked, "Are there no other conditions?"

Sitting on the chair, Jingyi motioned Ye Cang to make a cup of tea.

After Ye Cang left, Jingyi said:

"The position of assistant to the Hokage must be returned. Regardless of whether it is an empty position or not, it is one of the high-level positions after all, and it can provide a safety net for the Hokage's office. Secondly, I gave the Hokage some suggestions, and he promised that as long as Ino-Shika-Chou does not cross the line, the position of leader of the Jonin class will always be yours."

Since you chose to keep someone by your side, why do you deliberately send her away when something important happens?

Regarding the relationship between Jingyi and Ye Cang, Nara Shikashin can only say that he is old and can't understand it anymore.
