Chapter 57

In the darkest corner of Konoha, Danzo, Utatane Koharu, and Mitomon En had a verbal battle for two days and two nights around a table.

"Danzo, we can't pay this money. If we pay, it means that we support Hiruzen's affair. We must teach him a lesson."

As a female, Utatane Koharu is very averse to having an affair. Let her pay for him to settle the matter, dream!

"What you said makes sense, but I have reasons to help him," Danzo took a deep breath and hid all his resentment. He would never allow anyone to tarnish the title of Hokage, "but this is a loss of face for the Hokage, and the delegation is coming soon."

"Huruzen has had this problem since he was a child. I thought he just had a thief's heart but no thief, but I didn't expect that he would improve as he got older."

Mitomon En's slightly teasing tone made Utatane Koharu very unhappy. No man is a good thing, hum!

"It's impossible for me to take the money. Let Hiruzen solve this matter by himself. Sorry, I won't accompany you!" After saying this, Koharu Utatane was about to leave. She didn't want to continue on this issue. Money, not a penny!

"Koharu, calm down." Mito Kado Yan quickly pulled her back. Now that she left, the money would be taken by him and Danzo. "No matter how bad Hiruzen is, he is still the Hokage. Danzo is right. We can't let the Hokage be humiliated."

"Yes, you just take some money, I even want to change my name!" Danzo didn't want Koharu Utatane to leave. He would give as much as he could. At most, he would take the biggest share. Who told him to be the Hokage?

Koharu Utatane hasn't lost his composure yet. They are all for the village. They can reach a consensus on this point!

"Change, change the name, change to what, Captain?" Mito Kado Yan was speechless. He didn't expect the Hokage to be so tough this time.

The wrinkles on Danzo's face deepened a few more times, and he was so gloomy that people could feel the blood in his body shouting.

It's okay to call him the captain, the most hateful thing is that the dead monkey called him Zang Zang, Tuantuan, sincerely disgusting him, but in order to become the Hokage, he endured it.

"I will only pay 5 million, but Biwako must know about this! Otherwise, there will be no penny." Utatane Koharu also felt that Danzo was somewhat pitiful. At least Danzo has been single for decades and has not had a scandal, so he is still reliable.

"Then I will pay the big head of 13 million for the remaining 25 million, and the rest... Menyan will be yours." Danzo immediately made the decision, "I also plan to talk to Biwako about this matter. After all, the Hokage is different from the patriarch of the family."

Mito Menyan nodded aggrievedly, damn the big head, you are talking about an extra 500,000 taels as if you have taken the full amount.

In this way, after taking turns to insult the Third Hokage, he collected 30 million for him.

......

Minato took the Sand Village envoys to the Hokage office building to negotiate with the Hokage, arranged their accommodation, and monitored their actions.

The Hokage was talking to Nara Shikaku about compensation.

"Hokage, the war has just ended. I'm afraid that the other party can't afford such a large amount of money, which is not conducive to negotiations." Nara Shikaku expressed his considerations.

"I know that the Second World War lasted too long, and no one wants to continue. Even the supplies for cleaning the battlefield in the past year are few and far between. I'm afraid that the supply of ninja tools in each ninja village can't support them to continue the war."

The third generation Hokage analyzed calmly that in previous years, there would be some ninja tools and other things that could be recycled and reused when cleaning the battlefield, but this year, the second-hand ninja tools collected were less than a quarter of those in previous years. I'm afraid that everyone can't hold on.

"I understand, Hokage." Nara Shikaku became serious. This was a major event related to the interests of the village.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shikaku," the Third Hokage suddenly thought of Uchiha Makoto's money-grubbery and said, "Take Uchiha Makoto with you and let him negotiate the compensation."

"Ah?" Nara Shikaku didn't react for a moment. Isn't it the Uchiha who made a lot of noise, "Uchiha Makoto?"

"Yes, tell him that he can get 1% of this reward mission."

The Third Hokage smiled amiably as he spoke. "I hope you, the Sand and Rock Ninjas, have strong hearts."

Uchiha Makoto snorted coldly after hearing this news. The Third Hokage was really calculating.

As we all know, most people who go to negotiate are brain workers who assist the Hokage. They don't have too many missions to go out, and they are also the most hated.

Let him, an Uchiha, go to negotiate, and send him out on another mission after the negotiation is successful. As long as the opponent catches him alone, they will definitely vent their anger on him.

It not only makes you shoulder important responsibilities and gives you enough honor, but also suppresses you through the hands of others.

A series of operations without dirtying your own hands, and kill two birds with one stone, worthy of being the Hokage!

"Heh, the third generation is indeed the most powerful one," Uchiha Zhen sneered, "Gentle sword, every sword is deadly, high! Really high!"

Uchiha Zhen immediately changed his clothes and prepared to go out. Seeing this, Uchiha Reina asked: "Zhen, are you going out? Do you want to leave you some food?"

"No, mother, I'm going to find Nara Tomokazu to thank him for taking care of our family."

Uchiha Zhen then made up a reason. He didn't want his family to worry. Even if they didn't say anything, they could feel that they were really afraid that they would worry too much and chase the path of the four laughing heroes of Hokage.

"Okay, thank Tomokazu-kun. I prepared a gift before. You can take it with you. Invite him to our house for dinner when you have time."

Uchiha Reina took out a package very carefully. As for what was in it, Uchiha Zhen didn't care. It has been a while since he came back, and it's time to see old friends.

Nara clan land

After Uchiha Makoto made many inquiries, he finally found Nara Tomokazu's residence in the most remote and dilapidated crevice.

Knock, knock, knock!

Nara Tomokazu was very cautious when he heard the knock on the door.

"Who?"

"It's me!"

Hearing Uchiha Makoto's voice, Nara Tomokazu dared not relax his vigilance. He opened the door and saw Uchiha Makoto in casual clothes. He did not invite him in, but asked: "What are you doing here?"

In fact, he had thought about the scene of Uchiha Makoto coming to settle accounts with him many times. Although he could not guarantee whether Uchiha Makoto could find out that he had tricked him a little, he would always prepare for the worst.

"Don't invite me in to sit down, good teammate!" Uchiha Makoto threw the gift in his hand into Nara Tomokazu's arms.

Nara Tomokazu narrowed his eyes and turned sideways to signal him to come in.

Uchiha Makoto was not restrained in front of this old teammate. He sat casually on the tatami and looked at Nara Tomokazu, and slowly said: "Thank you for taking care of my family."
