Chapter 30: The Angry Raikage
Just as everyone was gearing up and preparing for the upcoming war.
Suddenly, a letter of peace talks from the Hidden Cloud Village was delivered to the desk of the Konoha Hokage's office at a speed like an arrow piercing the clouds, catching Sarutobi Hiruzen and others who were already preparing for war off guard.
......
"Damn it! Damn it! How damned! That cunning old dog Ohnoki!"
Accompanied by angry shouts, there were bursts of crackling sounds of things being smashed, which continued to come out from the Raikage's office.
At this moment, the Raikage guards standing outside the door were all trembling with fear, their faces tense, and they turned a deaf ear to what was happening inside the house. They didn't even dare to breathe, let alone look inside the house.
They all knew very well that anyone who dared to go in at this critical moment would simply be asking for trouble, and would not stop until they angered Lord Raikage.
They don't want to go to the training ground to compete with Master Ai...
That's called pure masochism!
However, the Raikage was not the only one who was angry at the moment.
"Ai! This is the fifth table you've broken this month! All these losses will be deducted from your salary!"
Dodai was flipping through the notebook in his hand, recording the fifth table of this month, with a gloomy face, yelling at Ai, not caring at all that Ai was the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village.
"No, you have no more wages to deduct!"
Obviously, compared to the angry Raikage, Dodai felt more distressed about the table in front of him that was scrapped not long after being used.
Damn it, it looks like I have to find a way to customize a pure iron desk so that it won’t break no matter how Ai tosses it around.
It's really broken, as long as it doesn't fall apart, just use it as it is...
This prodigal son, doesn't he know how bad the current financial situation of the Hidden Cloud Village is? He is actually leading the way in extravagance and waste!
"Look for yourself! That old bastard, no, not only him, but also those bastards, look at what they are saying!"
"What's the problem with the lack of money? They asked us to donate more than 1 billion worth of supplies! What's the problem with the lack of ninjas in service? They can only provide support from the sidelines... And that bastard from the Hidden Mist Village is the most outrageous!"
"What do you mean the sea route is too far? The ships that were damaged before haven't been repaired yet! Let's fight them first, and then they can build two ships and come???"
"Listen, is this human language? F*ck!"
Filthy words kept pouring out of his mouth, and the anger in Ai's heart had reached its peak. At this moment, he wished he could fly over immediately and slap those people hard, giving them his dad's favorite slaps on the face. It would be a real bummer!
"These guys are just sitting there, waiting for us to take the first step and then reap the rewards."
"Do you really think I'm just a muscle without a brain? And you want to take advantage of me! Humph, don't you even look at your own weight? Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!"
"Well, Dodai, why don't you just send a message to Konoha, and we'll join forces to wipe out the Iwagakure Village in one fell swoop, and we'll split the resources of the Land of Earth in half!"
Although Ai has an impatient and irritable personality, it does not mean that he is stupid or ignorant.
In fact, he knew these things very clearly in his mind, as if they were a mirror. At this critical moment, whoever provokes a war first will be in great trouble.
Therefore, even though he cursed harshly, Tutai knew that this was just Ai venting his anger because he knew a fight would not happen.
Putting aside the fact that there has long been a deep-seated grudge between the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Iwagakure Village, it is difficult to predict whether the Hidden Iwagakure Village would take the opportunity to attack if they really attacked; judging from Konoha's current strength alone, once a war breaks out, their own village would probably not be able to withstand it.
"They are all bullies! Damn it!"
Tutai didn't care about Ai's angry words, because he knew Ai's personality and didn't need to pay attention to his angry words. At this moment, Tutai was concentrating on studying the letters sent back by Tsuchikage, Kazekage and Mizukage.
Hmm... why is it so messy...
"Ah... Ai, it seems that now is not the best time for war to come."
"Huh? Why?"
"In World War II, we were defeated in all four directions, suffering heavy losses in both manpower and resources."
"However, fortune and misfortune are interdependent. As the saying goes, fortune is dependent on misfortune, and misfortune is dependent on fortune..."
"What the hell are you talking about? You're so pretentious, speak human language!"
Ai interrupted Tutai who was starting to talk about culture, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face. What? Are you bullying a rough guy like him who doesn't understand culture? What a disrespectful person.
Tutai was interrupted. Looking at Ai who looked dissatisfied, he scratched his head and wrote it down in the notebook with a pen.
------
Ai insulted the Raikage's assistant and had his salary deducted...
------
"It is precisely because of the war between several villages that the outside world has gained an understanding of the strength of our Hidden Cloud Village. Although the Fire Nation was the victor last time, their victory was not easy. The share of missions we received from other countries has also increased to a certain extent. Coupled with the transfer of internal conflicts, we have been able to get out of the huge internal pressure in the village."
"The current vitality of each village still has room for development, and the conflicts within the village have not yet intensified to the peak state." "Under such circumstances, it is too difficult to get them to take action..."
At this point, Tutai couldn't help but sigh, looking at Ai beside him, his eyes full of helplessness, his voice a little tired,
"Ai, I'm afraid this war will be difficult to start in the short term."
"Then how should Konoha respond? The old man Sarutobi is extremely determined at the moment. He insists that we pay 1 billion in compensation, otherwise he will start a war immediately."
"Let's try to resolve the issue through negotiation first. After two years, when the manpower in the village gradually grows, we can take back everything we have lost. Moreover, judging from the tone of that old man Sarutobi Hiruzen, war should only be Konoha's last resort..."
"You mean to say that we should pay compensation?"
With his brows furrowed, the anger on Ai's face had not subsided.
"...That's right, Ai, don't let the impulse of the moment blind you, there is still a long way to go."
What else could Dodai do but try to persuade Ai. He was the assistant of the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village and also Ai's partner, so he naturally couldn't bear to see Ai make such a mistake.
With a sigh,
"Ai, after all, we are still not strong enough..."
boom--
pat-
Boom——
The table in front of him, which was already a little shaky and barely holding up, finally couldn't bear Ai's weight and fell to the ground with a loud bang, turning into a pile of broken wood chips and debris.
Alas, now there is no way for me to use the name of the desk that the Raikage once used to sell it downstairs to those merchants who specifically go to the Hidden Cloud Village for money.
I don't know why they like this thing...
Special for the Raikage?
joke...
and many more……
Tutai looked at the debris on the ground in front of him, which could no longer be called a table, with a look of distress on his face.
Then, a light bulb went off in my head...
Although it cannot be used as a desk exclusively for the Raikage, you can collect these broken pieces of wood and make them into table legs, table tops or other wooden tea sets that the Raikage once used!
If we further develop and polish it, will the Raikage be able to ensure safety?
Hehehe, this way you can save a lot of money.
His mind was constantly working, and his pen was constantly writing and drawing on the notebook. At this moment, Tutai no longer cared about what Ai said. He was a rough man who didn't care about the accounts.
Hey tui~~~
He secretly made a wishful calculation in his mind, thinking that these materials could be used to buy a large number of kunai, straw puppets and other training equipment for the children in the village, and suddenly he felt very happy.
