Chapter 414: The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. We choose not to talk.

It would be fine if a fight didn't break out, but if a fight really broke out, the ninjas from these families would be the first to suffer.

The Third Hokage knew that this was the aftereffect of Danzo Shimura's mischief.

Just because Jingyi didn't care at the time doesn't mean he will forget about these things. As long as he gets the chance, he will send all the Shimura clan members to the front line.

The Sarutobi clan can also go, it just depends on whether you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, are willing to let go.

"These are my personal thoughts. If others have good suggestions, they can also put them forward and we can discuss them together. It doesn't matter whether the suggestions are effective or not. The best thing is to participate."

After looking around at everyone, Jingyi found that no one wanted to make any suggestions, so she felt bored and just sat down.

As soon as Jingyi sat down, Qiu Daoqufeng said with a smile:

"Huruzen, I think what Shizuichi said makes sense. The village does not need to participate in the confrontation or war between the Kumogakure and the Mist Village. So we just need to be on guard against the Iwagakure. Although they are allies, Konoha cannot fight to the death with the Iwagakure for this relationship. Don't you think so?"

"Yeah." The Third Hokage nodded.

If possible, let alone fighting to the death, he doesn't even want to fight, he just wants to develop steadily.

Who could have thought that the Cloud Village and the Mist Village would start a fight? What are these two villages doing?

"Anyone else, don't you have any suggestions?"

Following Jingyi, the Third Hokage also said something similar. He hoped that everyone present would be brave enough to speak up. As for whether their opinions would be adopted, that was one thing, but everyone had to speak bravely. It was not the right thing for everyone to keep silent.

Little did they know that this was the result that the past three generations of Hokage had wanted.

After Konoha's higher-ups had adjusted to the situation, he actually wanted others to speak more.

After the Third Hokage finished speaking, the senior executives present still chose to remain silent. Many people felt that they had nothing to say, while those who wanted to say something felt that their suggestions were not very good, and those who had ideas in their minds did not want to speak them out.

The main point is, say less and make fewer mistakes; do less and make fewer mistakes.

At least maintain the status quo and no one can put the blame on me.

Everyone has seen what the F4 group did in the past. Sometimes, they need everyone's support. When nothing happens, it is their own business and you can just go away and cool off.

In other words, even if there are benefits, it won't be your turn.

Look at Koharu Utatane, she was blamed as soon as the meeting started.

Why did the village form an alliance with the Cloud Ninja Village? Everyone knows that it was a decision made through internal consultation within the F4 group.

In the end, the blame was put on Utane Koharu.

Who wants to be the next Utatane Koharu?

Akimichi Tofu doesn't want to, Nara Shikashin doesn't want to, not to mention the others.

Most of them were just there to make up the numbers. They had high-level seats, but they were just empty seats. Being able to attend high-level meetings was already considered by the Third Hokage and others to comply with Konoha's tradition.

Otherwise, according to Danzo Shimura's idea, these people's high-level status should be deprived.

Anyway, there is no difference with or without them.

Thus, an emergency high-level meeting ended in a whimper, and ended a bit hastily.

The Third Hokage himself was hesitant, Mito Kado En decisively kept silent, Utane Koharu was still angry, and didn't want to take the blame for others, so she simply kept silent.

They didn't speak, and after Jingyi also chose to remain silent, the high-level meeting turned into a game of staring at each other.

"Men Yan, what happened to you today?"

When the rest of the people had left and only the Third Hokage, Utatane Koharu, and Mito Kado En were left in the conference room, the Third Hokage finally couldn't help it.

Normally, this person would speak his mind and always care about the village. Although he was a little selfish, at least he knew how to do things and could do them. But today he was completely silent.

This made the Third Hokage uncomfortable.

Facing the questioning of the Third Hokage, Mizuto Menen wanted to roll his eyes and asked, "Don't you know why I am silent?"

He thought so in his heart but couldn't say it out loud, so Mitomon Yan could only say vaguely:

"No, I thought what Jingyi said was very good, so I didn't say anything to make a fool of myself."

The blame was put on Utane Koharu, and Mito Kado En didn't want to be blamed again.

So it’s better to keep quiet.

The main focus is to follow the crowd.

As long as I don't make any suggestions and I don't agree, the blame won't fall on me.

"Hiruzen, what do you mean?"

Mitomon En was still pushing and shoving, but Utane Koharu couldn't help but get angry first:

"It's obviously everyone's fault. Men Yan doesn't agree with the alliance with the Kumogakure Village. He doesn't take responsibility. I have nothing to say, old woman, but why did you push me out?"

"Xiaochun, please listen to my explanation."

The Third Hokage was numb: "As the Hokage, my every move affects everyone's nerves. Once I do something bad and cause damage to the interests of the village, it will be a big blow to my reputation. You don't want this to happen, right?"

As the Hokage, I have been greatly affected and my reputation is ruined. How can you, the advisory elder who follows me, get anything good?

So just bear with it and take the blame.

This is good for everyone.

"........"

MMP!

You want fame, but I don’t?

Utane Koharu could already foresee how the people in the village would talk about and abuse her once the news spread.

Since Danzo is not here, the blame cannot be put on him, and I feel very embarrassed.

"I don't care, you have to compensate me for this matter!!"

Since the reputation is bound to be damaged, we should ask for some benefits in return and not suffer such a huge loss.

"Don't worry, I......"

"What time is it? Are you still only thinking about those little benefits?"

Mitomon Yan, who couldn't stand it anymore, slammed the table and shouted angrily:

"The village may face the risk of being involved in a war at any time. One of you only cares about your own reputation, and the other only cares about benefits. Is this reasonable?"

"how about you?"

Utane Koharu was stunned for a moment, then angrily counterattacked:

"You, Mizuto Kado Yan, don't care about your own reputation, why do you want to distance yourself from it?"

Why do you blame me?

Do I have it easy?

The Third Hokage had a sullen face and said nothing.

Mitomon En didn't tolerate Utane Koharu and scolded her back directly:

“If it was an old man who made the suggestion, I would choose to take the responsibility. What did I say at the time?

I also advised Hiruzen to be cautious and not just look at the benefits on paper, but you didn't listen. You and Danzo even talked about the interests of the village and were determined to form an alliance with the Kumogakure."

"Without your persuasion, would Hiruzen have made up his mind? Do you think you have any responsibility?"

"Danzo has been doing things secretly. Every time he is done, he locks himself up and doesn't care about anything. It's always like this."

People's patience is limited, and at this time, Mitomon En has reached the brink of an explosion.

"Yes, Danzo has made many contributions to the village, but haven't we helped him enough? Think about it yourself, how much benefit he has gained, and how much benefit the Shimura clan has gained as a result."

"Hiruzen, tell me honestly, if it was someone else who repeatedly challenged the bottom line of the village and the limits of all of us, would you tolerate him?"
