Chapter 145 Representing Hokage

Sandai's injury was not serious, so he woke up the next day. However, according to Dana at the medical center, Sandai's current body would take some time to recover.

However, at this moment, the ward of Sandai was very lively, and basically the whole ward was full of people.

The identities of these people are quite impressive. Most of them are at the jounin level, and the ones standing in front are still the kind of respectable jounin. The ones at the front are two advisors, Mito Kadeni and Koharu Koharu. The leader is Danzo Shimura.

At this time, the two consultants were arguing with Danzo Shimura about something, and the content was apparently about the handling of the trio in Sand Ninja Village.

The opinions of the two advisors were to avoid the occurrence of war and the ancestors' decision to divide the tailed beasts equally, so those three people should be returned to the Sand Ninja Village, but some benefits could be obtained from them.

But Shimura Danzo disagreed. He thought it would be better to kill those three people directly, and then find a way to extract the One-Tail directly. If the Suna Ninja wanted a war, they would just use the One-Tail to fight, to prove that Ye's power.

Then the two sides began to argue endlessly, which made the third generation on the hospital bed helplessly rub his temples.

And those jonin seemed to be used to this, as this scene seemed to happen often.

"Ahem..." At this time, Sandai finally couldn't bear it anymore and coughed twice.

After all, the Third Generation was still the Hokage, so both sides of the debate snorted, gave the Third Generation a face, and did not continue.

After Sandai saw that the scene finally calmed down, he said, "Xia Li has already reported this matter to me before, and I have basically discussed some countermeasures with Xia Li. My current physical condition is not convenient for me. There are many, so Xia Li."

Saying that, Sandai also waved to Xia Li, and Xia Li also came to Sandai's side.

"You can speak on my behalf." Sandai said with a smile.

"Okay, Third Generation." Xia Li nodded.

Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but be shocked. What this meant was actually very obvious. Some jounin couldn't help but look at Danzo.

Some of them had questions in their eyes, some had a little ridicule in their eyes, and some even gloated about their misfortune.

Jiraiya, who had been leaning against the window with his eyes closed and his hands folded around his chest, couldn't help but open his eyes at this time and looked at the third generation in surprise.

Danzo's face looked very bad at this time. He looked at the third generation and said, "Hiruzen, he is only 13 years old this year!"

"Haha, I know, I'm just not in good health, so I just asked Xia Li to help explain the matter." Sandai said with a smile, as if it was really that simple.

"Hmph!" Danzo snorted and couldn't say anything.

However, the two consultants carefully looked at Xia Li, and they also felt that Xia Li was quite suitable. First of all, he was Jiraiya's apprentice, so his identity was no problem.

And the strength is also very strong, and it also plays a vital role in this plan, and it is conceivable that it will be even stronger in the future.

However, they also felt that Xia Li... was a bit too young, and Konoha probably didn't need to let people of this age shoulder that important responsibility.

Xia Li also looked at the jounin around him at this time. Many of them were familiar faces, such as Hinata Hizashi, Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Dingza, Yamanaka Haiichi and other representatives of various families.

However, Xia Li didn't mean to be stage frightened, and went straight to the topic, "Everyone must know who I am, so I won't introduce myself. Then, on behalf of the Hokage, I will tell you what Konoha needs to solve next.

Before talking about the problem of Suna Ninja, we must first talk about Konoha's current reputation problem. Although this counterattack was done well, the Chunin Exam held by Konoha was undoubtedly a failure.

No matter what the reason is, it is a blow to Konoha's reputation. All countries will inevitably doubt Konoha's strength.

For this reason, the next step is to show Konoha's strength to all countries, so we will have to work hard to undertake more B-level and above tasks, and please be sure to improve efficiency while ensuring the success rate.

As for grouping, especially jounin groups of two to three can allocate the chuunin and genin of their own team; jonins of one to two people can also allocate chuunin or genin in their own team.

Therefore, everyone should get busy next, start taking tasks and complete them beautifully, contribute to everyone's Konoha, and overcome this difficulty together. "

When Xia Li made the first point, no one objected. Many jounin also nodded, agreeing with this point.

Especially those Jonin who were born as civilians, these tasks are still very important to them. If the tasks in the future are reduced, then their income and resources will undoubtedly decrease sharply, so naturally they agree with this.

After seeing no one objected, Xia Li continued.

"Then, regarding the matter of Suna Ninja, the Third Generation's idea is to try to avoid the occurrence of war between villages."

"Hmph, pedantic! Do you think they will be grateful if you forgive them this time? This time they tore up the covenant, then they can also tear up the covenant next time!" Danzo said with a cold snort.

On the other hand, the two consultants' eyes lit up and they looked at Xia Li with satisfaction. Although it was the third generation's opinion, the words were spoken by Xia Li.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet." Xia Li looked at Danzo and said directly without giving Danzo a good look at all.

"you!"

"What am I? I am speaking on behalf of the third generation of adults now, and you who did not even take part in this plan should be the one least qualified to speak at this time, right? Why don't you ask anyone present? , Didn’t you take action or let your subordinates take action in this plan?" Xia Li looked at Danzo, with a cold look in his eyes, and interrupted directly.

To be honest, now is actually not the most suitable time to fall out with Danzo, but Xia Li really doesn't want to give Danzo any good looks. If the other party doesn't jump out, he won't bother to pay attention. If he jumps out now, he won't speculate if it's true. More than half a sentence!

"You!!" Danzo gritted his teeth, and then felt the eyes of the people around him. If Xia Li hadn't mentioned this matter, then they wouldn't know or say anything.

But at this time, Xia Li actually brought this matter to light, and suddenly those people looked at Danzo a little differently.

Faced with such a look, Danzo could only use the set of arguments about protecting the roots of Konoha again to confuse it, but it was hard to continue to give any more advice.

Sandai gave a wry smile. He naturally knew that Xia Li had asked him to find Genbu for help before, but was rejected. It seemed that Xia Li was very dissatisfied with this.

In fact, not only Xia Li, but even Sandai himself was a little disappointed with this. It was indeed right not to give Danzo the position of Hokage.

When Xia Li saw that Danzo stopped talking, he continued.

"However, although it cannot cause a war between Konoha and Suna Ninja, we cannot easily forgive Suna Ninja, whether it is for Konoha's face or interests."

Hearing this, the two advisors frowned, but Danzo's example came first, so they did not immediately refute anything, but chose to continue listening.

"First of all, the one-tailed beast must be returned to the Suna Ninja. After all, if we keep it, not only will we directly become enemies with the Suna Ninja, but we also have the strongest tailed beast Nine Tails, which will also cause trouble later. The other ninja villages are in panic, so we can’t keep one tail no matter what, and we need to return it to the Suna ninja as soon as possible.”

After hearing this, the expressions of the two advisors lightened up a bit, but Danzo's expression became darker, but what should he do if he felt that what Xia Li said seemed to make sense? It must be fake, it's all the idea of ​​that guy from the third generation.

"So it stands to reason that this one tail must be paid back, but we can't just give it to Suna Ninja. We also need Suna Ninja to agree to one of our conditions, that is, Suna Ninja must agree to kill Orochimaru. Village, Sound Ninja Village, no, it should be said that this is not a village at all."

"Didn't you say that you want to avoid war? How can you avoid it?" Xiaochun asked directly after hearing this.

"I'm talking about a war between villages, and neither Konoha nor Sand Ninja will admit the existence of Sound Ninja Village. Since it was founded by Orochimaru, it would be a lot to get rid of the reputation of the village.

What's more, in the Chunin Examination just now, many famous names were also affected by Orochimaru, so they would be very willing to cooperate, so what the Suna Ninja finally destroyed was just a base of rebel Ninja that had bewitched them. "

Xia Li looked at the two consultants and asked, "Excuse me, do you two have any questions?"

After moving to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoren looked at each other and said nothing. This would be equivalent to destroying a rebel ninja base. This was acceptable. They nodded together and said there was no problem.

Moreover, Xia Li's attitude towards them reminded them of Xia Li's attitude towards Danzo just now, and their favorable impressions doubled. However, Danzo's face turned darker over there. This difference in treatment was too obvious.

In fact, Xia Li didn't have much favorable impressions of the two advisors, but he had already offended Danzo. It would undoubtedly be a stupid thing to offend the two advisors again. Now he could only try to win over one group and suppress the other.

After seeing that they had no problems, Xia Li continued, "Also, the reward for wiping out the rebel ninja base is six to four points, six for Konoha and four for Sand Ninja."

"Will this Suna Ninja agree?" Mito Kadenen asked. He agreed with this, but it felt a bit unrealistic.

"Well, of course I won't agree, so I have to mention the compensation for the Sand Ninjas torn up the covenant first. As far as I know, the Sand Ninjas' current economic situation is not good. As long as their village cannot pay this amount of compensation, then this will give way to It wouldn’t be difficult for them to agree. If I weren’t afraid of them jumping over the wall, I would want all the gains.”

Xia Li also showed a look of pity as he said this, which made the ninjas over there feel numb. They all felt that this person was definitely not a simple master, and he must not offend him, otherwise he would be very troublesome, vindictive and...a bit obsessed with money.

Mito Monoyan nodded, seeming to be thinking about the feasibility of it, without saying anything more.

"One final point is that the Suna Ninja suffered a lot of losses this time, so their combat power is also seriously lacking, so we will also provide a friendly ninja to help in this war of annihilation.

And his mission is not only to help, but also to show the power of Konoha, so the power of this ninja needs to be as strong as possible. It is best to show a power that is difficult to match in this extermination operation. When they want to tear up the alliance again, they will be afraid of this ninja.

And the choice of this ninja..."

Before Xia Li could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Danzo.

Obviously, Danzo is also eyeing this task. After all, this task is a good opportunity to turn from darkness to light, and Danzo can't help but be tempted.
