Chapter 697 New ‘ally’ Utane Koharu!

"Tsunade, you shouldn't have promised him just now!"

Mito Kadenyan sighed.

The castle tower was already difficult enough to deal with, but now that these little ninjas were 'sent' to the opponent, the trouble would only be even greater.

"Then why didn't you say something to stop me just now?"

Tsunade replied extremely unhappy.

I didn't dare to say it in front of others just now, but now I dare to say it in front of myself. Do you really think that I don't dare to attack you? .

She is not her own teacher, she will indulge each other in every way.

Facing Tsunade's retort, Mito Kadoyan could only smile bitterly.

Only then did he realize how much impact the change of Hokage had on them.

But it's not Tsunade's fault, it's entirely because their current generation of Hokage has a pair of 'heroes', Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo, whose reputation has become bad, and it has affected him and Koharu who have moved to another dormitory.

In the book Mein Kampf, although the protagonists are not them, it also hints at the help they have brought to the family as consultant elders for so many years, as well as how incompetent they are.

The simplest piece of evidence.

After decades of hard work, Konoha almost went bankrupt, and its strength was getting weaker and weaker, and it was overtaken by Kumo Ninja.

This is irrefutable proof!

It can only be said that the emergence of this book has completely destroyed the fig leaf of F4.

Now when walking on the street, someone will point at them.

If the things in the book were fake, Mito Katoyan would naturally ask Jiraiya to confiscate the book in the name of Hokage.

The problem is that although the content inside has been modified, it is mostly true.

Especially finance!

He was forcefully taken back by Tsunade.

Xiaochun naturally tried her best to refute and resist when she went to bed.

Unfortunately, the arm couldn't twist the thigh. With Jiraiya's support, this department fell under Tsunade's command.

After getting the Ministry of Finance, Tsunade began to check the accounts.

She has been doing this for the past few days.

The result... was that her face never looked better when she saw Xiaochun go to bed.

The other party is indeed as written in "Mein Kampf", greedy and incompetent.

If it weren't for his status as a second-generation disciple and his relationship with his own teacher, it would have been impossible to secure the position of advisor elder.

The only advantage may be that he loves Konoha deeply.

Without this advantage, it would have been impossible for Jiraiya to keep these two ancestors.

Tsunade reminded Jiraiya many times not to rely too much on the two of them, but the other party did not agree.

Who knows that he, the Hokage, is really bad at handling government affairs, so even if he knows that the two people are not very capable, he can only make do with them.

"Okay Tsunade!" Jiraiya stopped Tsunade from getting angry, then looked at the two elders and said solemnly: "I won't ask who leaked the information to Danzo, but there will be no second time!"

The serious Jiraiya was still very imposing, and at the same time, several people could hear the seriousness in his words, and they all nodded slightly, indicating their agreement.

"cut!"

Seeing how gently Jiraiya let the matter go, Tsunade left the office.

She had always wanted to reform Konoha, but was resisted by Jiraiya in various ways, so she was in a very bad mood.

"Actually, this is a good thing!" Nara Shikaku said after Tsunade left: "It will take at least a few years to train these people into ninjas, and the fire extinguishing plan has already begun. Not only are these people unable to become castle guards, If you try to help me, it will consume a lot of the other party’s resources!”

Yes, he had been silent just now, not because he was afraid, but because he really thought it was a good thing.

There are over a thousand people on the list and the family members behind them add up to at least several thousand people. Relocation and resettlement will take a lot of energy and time, plus the cost of training ninjas, which is a good thing for their plan.

It’s just that no matter how smart Nara Shikaku is, he still can’t understand the power of ‘industrialization’.

For the castle tower, none of this is a problem.

All kinds of medicinal materials, food, and ninja tools have been piled up in the castle tower.

"Well said!"

Jiraiya nodded in agreement.

He had thought of this just now, so he did not object firmly.

Otherwise, as the Hokage, if he insists, it will be useless even if Tsunade agrees.

"By the way, there are quite a few people who 'voluntarily' go to the castle tower. Do we also allow them to go?"

After going to bed, Xiaochun suddenly added something.

Most of the villagers in Konoha have ninja talents, but they are unable to become ninjas due to resource reasons. Among them, the number of small ninja clans in decline is not to mention a thousand, but tens of thousands.

Therefore, as long as they are willing, they can really devise such a plan for the castle tower and use people to exhaust the opponent's resources.

It's a pity that Tang Ping is not here, otherwise his view of Koharu will change in an instant.

Because after Danzo, the true 'ally', defected from Konoha, he was worried that there would be no 'one of his own' at the top.

Unexpectedly, after Sarutobi Hiruzen went offline and Danzo defected, another 'ally' would pop up.

I have to say that Konoha F4 is indeed the worst senior management, but it is the best in the eyes of the enemy.

Anyway, after Tangping knows this, he will definitely regard Koharu, who has moved to bed, as his ally. If anyone dares to continue to slander her, neither he nor the castle tower will agree.

“There is indeed room for maneuver!”

Nara Shikaku nodded slowly, considering the pros and cons.

Even if more people are sent to the castle tower, they can be brought back after the fire-fighting plan.

The key is that the castle tower is located in the Land of Fire. After defeating the opponent, these people cannot be taken away by other forces, and they can be easily recovered. It can be said that there is no loss.

People are ‘lent’ to the castle tower for training for a period of time, and then after defeating the opponent, they are harvested from the good seedlings who have become ninjas by chance.

Only geniuses can become ninjas before the fire extinguishing plan.

“I think I can agree to it!”

Mitomon En also thinks that the proposal of Utatane Koharu is good.

Anyway, they don’t need to pay anything.

It’s just not to stop those declining ninjas who have always wanted to go to the castle tower.

“…Okay!”

Jiraiya hesitated for a while and nodded.

Because this plan is not bad for the village, but has many benefits.

If he hadn’t become Hokage, he would definitely oppose it, because he couldn’t use villagers as bargaining chips to calculate opponents.

But he is now Hokage, and he has to consider the village.

He can weaken the enemy before the war, and the villagers can be taken back in the end, so he can only compromise.

As a Hokage, he naturally has to bear the darkness.

This is also one of the reasons why he refused to be the Hokage before, not because he simply didn't like being the Hokage.

"When will the fire-fighting plan start?"

Mitomon Yan asked Shikaku.

As the liaison between Konoha and the Daimyo, the other party is responsible for these aspects.

"Now the Cloud Ninja and Rock Ninja are drawing more ninja troops, and we Konoha must also prepare supplies and ninja troops. It will take at least a month before we can start the plan!"

Shikaku told the progress.

If it were a ninja, this progress would not be called lame, but pitfall.

But if it involves the three major ninja villages and the three major countries, then this progress is enough to be called "speedy".

After all, the efficiency of the nobles is understood.

"All these are handed over to you. I'm going to discuss the battle with the Toad Clan!"

Jiraiya explained his next arrangements.

In order to have the right to speak in the plan, the Toads must be involved, and this is a perfect opportunity for revenge.

If the Toads do not participate in the plan, they will not be eligible to distribute the spoils, and of course they will not be able to take back Myoboku Mountain.

Therefore, Jiraiya would inform the Toad Clan no matter what.

Although he had sent a message to the other party before, he had to tell them face to face, and he had to bring the fighting force sent by the other party.

After all, this time it was not a few toads, but a large army of toads, so he could not use the summoning technique.

"By the way, it would be best to let Ryuchido also participate in this plan!"

Utatane Koharu reminded.

"I will discuss it with the two sages Fukasaku and Shima!"

Jiraiya did not object.

Because he also felt that it would be good to have another Ryuchido join the battle.
