Chapter 61: Tsunade: Let's make a showdown. As long as I'm in Konoha, Danzo won't be

At that time, we will be able to send people into the Rain Country with legitimate reasons. Even if Konoha doesn't want to fight, you will have no choice.

The Sand Village has been preparing for this war for a long time, and everything is ready except for the east wind from the Daimyo Prefecture.

And how to provoke the anger of the daimyo and make him feel a sense of crisis?

this is very simple.

It's just that someone helped create the chaos, which saved the Third Kazekage a lot of effort.

There is no need to bother with framing others. It is enough to just determine that the escalation of the conflict was caused by Konoha.

You will create chaos and escalate conflicts, and there is also the risk of being exposed. When the daimyo finds out that he has been deceived, he will definitely be very angry.

If someone else did it, the Third Kazekage wouldn't have these concerns.

In Konoha, Tsunade once again came to the Hokage's office building.

This was the third time the Third Hokage had looked for Tsunade after the meeting.

The first time in the conference room, Tsunade did not give a clear answer. When urged the second time, Tsunade said that she still needed to think about it. Now it is the third time.

Tsunade needs to give the Third Hokage a satisfactory answer.

After all, nothing can happen again and again.

"Old man."

Walking into the Hokage's office, Tsunade greeted him first, then closed the door, and then sat down on the sofa in the Hokage's office.

"Tsunade, according to the intelligence gathered by the village, the Sand Village has sent a group of reinforcements and is preparing to enter the Land of Rain."

The Third Hokage did not tell Tsunade to go to the Land of Rain, but he was hinting to her that once the war broke out, she would be needed on the front line.

Tsunade seemed not to understand the Third Hokage's hint, and waved her fist, saying:

"Since war is unavoidable, let's fight!"

"Tsunade......."

"Old man, I won't go to the front line. I need to stay in the village and in the medical department."

Tsunade directly interrupted the Third Hokage's persuasion:

"Grandma is gone, Nawaki and Kushina are still young, they need me, and the medical department can't do without me."

"But you're needed on the front lines!"

The Third Hokage couldn't help but heighten his voice.

Too bad this didn't scare Tsunade.

"Don't scare me, old man. Otherwise, I'll be scared and hide in Daming Mansion. A lot of things might happen."

"........"

The Third Hokage's momentum was instantly extinguished.

It's like someone is grabbing your neck.

"I know I'm needed on the front line, but I can't leave without worry."

Tsunade expressed her attitude to the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage asked in confusion: "Tsunade, what are you worried about? Will I still target Nawaki and Kushina, or Hinata Shizuka?"

The only people in the entire Konoha that Tsunade can't let go of are Nawaki and Kushina, plus Shizuka.

"I'm worried about the person imprisoned in the Anbu prison. Once I leave, if you activate him, Akimichi Toukou won't be able to stop him. You and I both know what he will do, so I can't leave."

I'm going to be frank with you. I'm just worried, so I can't leave unless you kill Danzo Shimura.

"I........."

The Third Hokage originally wanted to make a promise to Tsunade, promising that he would not activate Danzo Shimura, but before he could say anything, he realized that he could not make such a promise.

Because the Third Hokage needed someone to help him deal with some things that he couldn't handle himself.

Shimura Danzo is the best choice.

In addition, Danzo Shimura has good combat command ability. During the First Ninja World War, Danzo Shimura proved that he has such ability.

"If war breaks out, Jingyi will go to the battlefield in my place. What I can do, he can do too. Besides, Nara Shikashin is a good commander."

Tsunade came to confront the Third Hokage and told him clearly why she was unwilling to leave the village and go to the front line.

Now, you don’t even want to give me a promise, how dare I leave?

But don’t release Danzo Shimura right after I leave and then cause all kinds of trouble and disgust me.

While showing her cards, Tsunade also recommended Shizuichi and Nara Shikashin.

"Is Jingyi okay?"

The Third Hokage had great doubts, but as for Nara Shikashin, there was no need to question it, as the Third Hokage knew exactly how strong the other party was.

If the Hokage faction had not been torn into two and Ino-Shika-Chou had not been marked with Tsunade's mark, the Third Hokage would not have removed Nara-Shika's position as the leader of the jonin class.

Tsunade stood up from the sofa, straightened her clothes, and said unhappily:

"Old man, don't underestimate me. Jingyi is someone I brought up. I dare say that in the entire Konoha, there is no one more suitable than me. Since you can't give me a promise, I can only let Jingyi go to the front line in my place."

The fact that Tsunade dared to say this meant that Shizuichi really had the ability to replace Tsunade.

The Third Hokage picked up his pipe and started smoking in annoyance.

"Tsunade, Danzo's ability......"

"impossible!!!"

Tsunade sternly rejected the Third Hokage.

Want to let Danzo Shimura out?

I don't agree. As long as I stay in Konoha, Danzo Shimura will never be able to come out of the Anbu prison.

Tsunade would go to the Anbu to investigate at any time in order to prevent the Third Hokage from playing any tricks and secretly releasing Danzo Shimura and then concealing his identity and acting in secret.

“Ah~~~~”

The Third Hokage let out a long sigh.

This is a big deal.

Danzo Danzo, you really disappoint me.

"No room for negotiation?"

The Third Hokage's voice became deeper.

Tsunade said in a tough tone: "There is no room for negotiation, unless you hand him over to me, then I, Tsunade, will lead my men straight to the border camp immediately."

When I didn't ask.

The Third Hokage decisively shut up.

Although Danzo Shimura could not be used, he was at least alive and well by locking him up in the Anbu prison. If he were handed over to Tsunade, given her decisiveness, Danzo Shimura would probably not survive more than three days.

Let alone three days, you would be lucky to survive even three hours.

"Anyway, I will not leave, and Shimura Danzo cannot be released. Old man, I respect you, and I hope you respect me too, and don't do things that make things difficult for everyone."

When Jingyi said this, Tsunade still had some hope for the Third Hokage, but now it seems that there is only a shitty hope.

I'm afraid that as soon as Tsunade left, Danzo Shimura was released.

Since you have completely given up hope, let's just be fair and impartial. I respect you and hope you can respect me. Even though you are the Hokage, it will not be easy for you if a fight breaks out.

Tsunade stormed off.

Shortly after she left, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En arrived at the Hokage's office.

Noticing that the Third Hokage looked unhappy, the two knew that the negotiations had not been successful.

"Huruzen, Tsunade refused?" Utane Koharu asked tentatively.

"She refused." The Third Hokage sighed, "She told me clearly that she didn't want to leave the village because she was afraid that I would release Danzo and activate him, but she recommended Hinata Shizuka and Nara Shikashin."

"Hinata Shizuka? Can you do it?"

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En couldn't help but put a question mark.
