Chapter 83: Tsunade's meddling in village affairs causes dissatisfaction with Utane Koharu

"let me try."

It may not be necessary for the daimyo to make any effort to persuade Hanzo of the Salamander, but the village must provide sufficient benefits.

Given the character of the Third Hokage, it is very likely that he would agree to this suggestion. The Third Hokage of this period still had some courage. The more troublesome one was the Council of Elders.

Especially the old lady Utane Koharu is the most difficult to deal with.

"Senior, be prepared to be rejected. Many things may not be successful even if Tsunade steps in."

Jingyi gave Nara Shikashin a shot of prevention.

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Nara Shikashin stood up with a smile:

"When I had this idea, I was mentally prepared to be rejected. I'll just give it a try. If it works, that's great. If not, I'll just keep trying."

"You should have a good rest. I see that you have been very tired recently. Practice is important, but rest is also important."

As the head of the Nara clan, Nara Shikako knew some of the secrets of the village, so he was not curious about what Jingyi was doing or where he went.

"Senior, walk slowly."

After sending Nara Shikashin away, Shizue took out a scroll, wrote the matter down, and used a puppet to send the scroll to the village, leaving the rest to Tsunade.

Tsunade will definitely not reject Nara Shikashin's suggestion. The difficulty lies in the Hokage's office and the Elders' Council.

The scroll was sent out in the middle of the night and arrived in Konoha at daybreak.

It was successfully delivered to Tsunade's hands.

After reading the scroll, Tsunade began to have a headache: "Senior, you really know how to cause trouble for me."

The suggestion is good, but it is not easy to gain the support of the Third Hokage and others.

Tsunade had no choice but to try.

Fortunately, Nara Shikashin and Jingyi were already prepared to be rejected. It would be best if this proposal was adopted, but it would be okay if it was rejected. They could just fight slowly.

The war is not so easy to end.

There is still work to do in the days ahead.

Arriving at the Hokage's office building, Tsunade walked into the Hokage's office and told him about Nara Shikashin's suggestion.

The Third Hokage frowned directly:

"Tsunade, in order to suppress the development of Rain Village, the village deliberately dragged Rain Village into the water, causing the Rain Country to become a battlefield among the three major countries. The relationship between Rain Village and the village has reached a freezing point."

"It will be very difficult for us to convince Hanzo of the Salamander."

"I know."

Tsunade said: "It's difficult, but it doesn't mean it's impossible. As long as we can convince Hanzo of the Salamander and let the Rain Village and Konoha unite, the battlefield situation in the Rain Country will change."

"I'll ask Xiaochun and the others to come over, and we'll all sit down and discuss this."

After thinking for a while, the Third Hokage decided to hold a simple meeting.

As for the solution, we will talk about it after the meeting.

After receiving the notification, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En arrived, and Akimichi Tofu also came with them.

Including Tsunade, the five of them sat in the Hokage's office and began to discuss.

"No, I refuse!!"

As expected, after learning of Tsunade's purpose, Utatane Koharu immediately began to object: "I am not targeting anyone. Everything I said is from the perspective of the village. It is all for the good of the village. It seems to be beneficial to us to win over an ally in the Rain Country, but don't forget that there are more than just three families fighting on the battlefield in the Rain Country."

"We paid a huge price to win over the Rain Village, but what about the Rock Village?"

"Once the village unites with the Rain Village, will the stimulated Rock Village unite with the Sand Village?"

This made sense, and the Third Hokage and Mitokado En nodded slightly.

Qiu Daoqufeng was silent for a while, and said: "The focus of the Rock Village is on the Cloud Village, so..."

"Fatty, can you guarantee that the Rock Village and the Sand Village will not unite?"

Utatane Koharu didn't want to hear this and asked directly: "If you can guarantee that the Rock Village and the Sand Village will not come together, then on behalf of the Elders, I will agree to negotiate with the Rain Village."

"........"

I guarantee it!

Qiu Dao is so popular that he wants to curse.

The relationship between villages changes rapidly, especially during the war. Konoha may be thinking of seeking peace talks with the Rain Village, and the Sand Village and the Iwagakure Village may also have such ideas.

The Sand Village had actually already taken action, but was just rejected.

Of course, Konoha didn't know this information.

If Konoha wants to cooperate with the Rain Village, in addition to having to work hard to persuade Hanzo of the Salamander, it also needs to worry about the reaction of the Iwagakure.

Once the Iwagakure is provoked and turns to join forces with the Sand Village, Konoha will be the one that suffers.

After all, the Rain Village cannot be compared with the Iwagakure.

Even if Konoha finally united with the Rain Village, they would still be the ones who suffered in the end when facing the joint attack of the Sand Village and the Iwagakure.

Not to mention that they didn't know that Chiyo had contacted the Iwagakure, even if they knew, the Third Hokage and others wouldn't dare to gamble.

It is even possible to turn the tables and believe that it was Tsunade who made this suggestion, which led to the Iwagakure and Sand Village joining forces to fight against Konoha.

I knew it would be like this.

Tsunade sighed and crossed her arms over her chest. She no longer wanted to talk.

During a war, contacting one of the enemies and forming an alliance is inherently a risky thing. As long as the top leaders agree and offer enough benefits, I believe that Salamander Hanzo will agree. The success rate is very high. If all else fails, you can just ask the daimyo to help speak for you.

But Utane Koharu wouldn't let go of the Iwagakure.

Today's meeting was in vain. It was a complete waste of time.

Fortunately, Tsunade was mentally prepared, so she was not too disappointed.

After the meeting, Tsunade and Akimichi Tofu left first.

"Hiruzen, what do you think Tsunade wants to do?"

Utane Koharu complained, "She's been interfering more and more in the affairs of the village. The current war situation is already chaotic, and they still want to unite with the Rain Village? If this leads to the stimulation of the Iwagakure, the village will be in danger."

With the pharmaceutical department and the Anbu in her hands, what's wrong with Tsunade interfering in the affairs of the village?

It makes sense.

But when a woman is unreasonable, she won't listen to anything you say, so the Third Hokage simply ignored the words.

"What you said makes sense, so I also think that peace talks with the Rain Village are not appropriate. The war situation can change at any time, and the current situation is most beneficial to the village."

In the eyes of many people, the situation in the Rain Country is most beneficial to Konoha.

The Iwagakure is not very enthusiastic about this war, as they have a powerful enemy behind them who may come to rob them at any time, so the Iwagakure has always focused on the Kumogakure.

The Sand Village and Konoha are fighting to the death, and the Rain Village is biting the Sand Village.

Compared to the difficult Sand Village, Konoha's situation is not that bad.

At least that's the case for now, so the F4 group is not willing to take any risks. Even if they can really convince the Rain Village, they will still worry about the reaction of the Iwa Village.

Leaving the Hokage's office building, Akimichi Touka sighed, "I don't know if it's because of his age, but Monkey no longer has the courage he once had. The Elders' Council is interfering too much in the village."

"The old man buried the mines himself, who can be blamed?" Tsunade curled her lips.
