Chapter 417: The violent reaction caused by the first sentence, Tsunade's mysterious confidence

After a long period of careful consideration, Minato finally told the Fourth Hokage everything that happened and the conversation during the trip to Otogakure Village.

"I didn't expect him to have such an evil idea!"

Hatake Sakumo was shocked at first, but gradually he discovered some questions that puzzled him:

"But according to you, he wants to use the sacred tree to destroy all ninjas. If he has this idea, why hasn't he done it yet? Instead, he told you this purpose..."

Minato was slightly stunned when he heard this. He couldn't figure out this question either. He didn't know what Liuyun was waiting for, or why he had to say such an extreme purpose...

"Could it be that he's really just joking? Or maybe even he hasn't decided whether or not to destroy the ninja..."

Upon hearing this, Hatake Sakumo was shocked and confused, and immediately ordered the Anbu to find Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya, Tsunade and others.

The matter was of great importance, and he did not dare to jump to conclusions based on Minato's words alone.

Not long after, after understanding the details of the situation, Hatake Sakumo was still undecided, so he simply asked the eldest Sarutobi Hiruzen for advice.

"I think that guy has the idea of ​​destroying the ninja, but he probably hasn't made up his mind yet..."

"Also, I don't quite understand why he wants to eliminate ninjas. He says ninjas are the source of trouble in the world. This reason is too far-fetched. Where there are people, there will be conflict. The absence of ninjas doesn't mean that the world will be peaceful..."

"As for what Jiraiya said about using absolute force to lead the world towards peace, he might be able to do it now. The power of the nine tailed beasts combined may far exceed our imagination. Add to that himself, the Akatsuki organization, the Hidden Sound Village, and the Hidden Rain Village... so much power is enough to sweep the world!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice continued to ring out in the Hokage's office, while Hatake Sakumo and others listened quietly without interrupting.

"Before he has made up his mind, or before he has formally issued a declaration of war to other nations, we cannot blindly and proactively unite with them, and we must certainly not blindly and proactively start a war with him..."

To initiate the Fourth Shinobi World War based on a half-truth is too frivolous and shows too little regard for the lives of all ninjas in the ninja world...

Even if Uchiha Ryuun was telling the truth, it wouldn't work. It was unknown whether the other nations would dare to declare war on him, and it was also unknown whether the other four ninja villages would believe Konoha's statement...

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Once Konoha starts the Five Kage Summit, it means that they want to fight the Otogakure Village. At that time, there will be no way to avoid the Fourth Ninja World War!

"Of course, we can't just sit there and wait for death. First, we must find a way to find out the boy's true intentions. Second, we must find a way to seal or dismantle the sacred tree. Third, we must train and prepare for war, and try our best to improve the overall strength of our Konoha in preparation for the Fourth Shinobi World War!"

When Sarutobi Hiruzen expressed his personal opinion, everyone present nodded in agreement, and their minds suddenly became clear. Hatake Sakumo also knew what he should do next.

"Next, I will urge all Konoha ninjas to use their free time to improve their personal strength. I will also eliminate some time-consuming and laborious tasks to free up more time and energy for everyone."

The Fourth Hokage quickly made a series of strategic deployments, including reducing tedious tasks, increasing military spending, focusing on training combat talents, etc. Everything he did was to deal with possible disasters and wars in the future!

Minato Namikaze took the opportunity to ask Hatake Sakumo for Naruto and Sasuke. He did not tell them about the Six Paths Sage, but just said that he wanted to focus on training the two of them and hoped that Konoha would not assign them ninja missions for the time being.

Hatake Sakumo readily agreed to his request.

Tsunade also took the initiative to step forward at this time and said that she and Shizune would go to the Hidden Sound Village to live for a while, both to find out Liuyun's true intentions and to obtain information about the sacred tree.

Of course, Hatake Sakumo wholeheartedly agreed with Tsunade's decision.

"Tsunade, you are going to the Otogakure Village... I have nothing to do recently, so let me accompany you?" Jiraiya volunteered.

"You stay away. I can live in the Shadow Mansion when I go to the Otogakure Village. Why are you joining in the fun? Too many people will only make the Otogakure Village wary." Tsunade said impatiently.

"If you can live in the Shadow Mansion, why can't I live in the Sound and Shadow Mansion??? You check yours and I check mine, I didn't say we have to live together..." Jiraiya curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

"Orochimaru would let you live in the Sound and Shadow Mansion? Where do you get the confidence from, you big idiot?" Tsunade couldn't help but sneer.

"Hmph, how do you know it's not possible?" Jiraiya felt that Orochimaru would still remember their friendship.

"Also, where do you get the confidence that Liuyun will let you live in Shadow Mansion?"

When Jiraiya said this, Tsunade couldn't help but cast a contemptuous look at him: "He is my brother, and it's not like Shizune and I haven't lived in the Shadow Mansion before."

"I don't think so... That boy is currently in seclusion at home, cultivating diligently. How could he allow you to disturb his peace?"

Jiraiya's sarcastic tone instantly ignited Tsunade's anger. She suddenly slammed the table and stood up: "Who do you think I am? I want to live with him, and he can't let me? Stop trying to sow discord between us!"

"Oh? Really? Then how about a bet? I bet that you and Shizune can't live in the Shadow Mansion..."

Jiraiya's confident expression made Tsunade furious. She felt that she was being looked down upon...

"Okay, let's bet. This time I'm going to bet my fortune with you. Whoever doesn't dare to accept it will be your grandson!" Tsunade said as she took off the emerald necklace from her neck.

Jiraiya's face turned green when he saw this scene. This emerald necklace was priceless, and he simply didn't have that much money to gamble with Tsunade.

"What? You don't dare? Where's that arrogance you had just now?" Tsunade took the opportunity to mock him.

"I don't have that much money..." Jiraiya said truthfully.

"You can have as many mothers as you want. If I lose, I'll sell the necklace and compensate you. Just tell me whether you want to gamble or not, and stop wasting time here."

Tsunade said this with high spirits. She obviously believed in Liuyun's character and was sure that he would not reject her.

"Hmph, let's make a bet. I want to see how close your relationship is!" Jiraiya gritted his teeth and confirmed the bet.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to follow Tsunade to the Sound Village under the pretext of a bet, but he didn't expect this woman to react so violently, making him feel a little embarrassed...

Besides, Liuyun was in seclusion for training, and his wife and children were not at home... Jiraiya felt that it was unlikely that he would let two women live in his house. Tsunade did not know how to keep distance and propriety, and Jiraiya did not believe that Liuyun did not understand these things either.

A man who knows how to 'respect' his wife definitely has a high EQ, so Jiraiya feels that he can win!
