Chapter 245 After Weighing the Pros and Cons, the Raikage Personally Went to Konoha
I really want to punch you to death, you are getting more and more outrageous!
You took advantage of me, and then you blamed me for taking advantage of you, teased me in various ways, and said I was stupid!
You, Uchiha Yan, are playing with fire, do you know that?
Looking at Tsunade who was gritting her teeth, Yan blinked blankly:
"Shizune, what's wrong with our Hokage? He is so angry, is it Jiraiya who caused trouble again?"
"Puff~~~"
Shizune burst out laughing.
The next second, she was greeted by Tsunade's death gaze, and she quickly put away her smile and apologized apologetically:
"Sorry, Hokage, I will hold back next time."
"Okay, I don't know what you two are thinking."
Waving her hands impatiently, Tsunade felt very tired.
Whose secretary is this!
The elbow is bent outward!
It's all you, you used your beauty to kidnap my little secretary.
With anger hidden in her heart, Tsunade could not help but glare at Yan.
"I'll leave this matter to you!
If the Raikage asks the village to send someone, then you go there in person, and I won't get involved in these matters."
After giving Yan two big eyes, Tsunade turned around and left.
But when she reached the door of the office, she turned back and said to Yan:
"Invite me to dinner tonight, I want to drink!"
You didn't give her wine? Such a big grudge.
Yan looked at Shizune, Shizune sighed helplessly, and Yan understood immediately.
The little money that was saved with great difficulty was squandered by Tsunade, so there was no money for drinking, unless it was on credit.
If a woman like Tsunade was married home to help manage the money, I'm afraid that even the richest man in the ninja world would not be able to withstand her squandering.
That night, Tsunade slaughtered Yan severely, and what was even more excessive was that she was drunk and stayed at Yan's house again...
Kumogakure Village, Raikage office building, although it was late at night, Raikage Ai had not rested yet.
At this time, he was looking at the news from Konoha.
After receiving the notice, the senior officials of the Cloud Ninja Village also crawled out of their warm beds and came to the Raikage's office.
"Damn it, is Konoha planning to take me as a fat sheep?"
After reading the news in the scroll, Ai couldn't help but slap the table a few times.
A group of people were afraid that he would smash the desk with too much force.
"Look, Konoha is getting more and more excessive. They really plan to treat our Cloud Ninja Village as fools and ask for money as soon as they open their mouths."
Ask for money?
What is Konoha planning to do?
Joint action, you are also embarrassed to ask for money!
The Cloud Ninja Village doesn't need your Konoha's money.
The senior officials were confused.
Everyone took turns to read the scroll, and then they understood why Ai said that.
Konoha is really... blatant!
"Is Konoha's finances really so tight?"
Some people couldn't help but question it.
You Konoha are a bit exaggerated, and you don't cry poor like this.
"Ahem!"
The representative of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning coughed and said:
"The Daimyo has collected a lot of information, among which Tsunade has repeatedly asked the Daimyo's Mansion for money!
As expected, Konoha's finances do have some problems.
It seems that the pit dug when the Third Hokage was in office was a bit big.
As a result, Tsunade has been troubled by money since she became Hokage."
After hearing what the representative of the Daimyo's Mansion said, everyone reacted.
Konoha is not looking for excuses to cry poor, but it is really poor! !
"......."
At this moment, Ai wanted to roll his eyes.
He thought Konoha was looking for excuses and wanted to kill him!
In the end, others were really poor, not crying, not looking for excuses.
"No wonder Konoha is willing to sell the information of the Akatsuki organization."
Ai frowned and said:
"Then how should Konoha respond?
Give them money directly?
If so, I'm afraid other villages will also ask for our help."
The Rock Village may not, and Ohnoki can't bring himself to do so.
But the Sand Village and the Mist Village promised to follow Konoha and cry poor, asking the Cloud Village for money.
Even if the Cloud Village has money, it is impossible to be a sucker and stretch its neck to be slaughtered.
"Hehe..."
Just when everyone was thinking about this problem, the daimyo representative couldn't help laughing, and everyone looked at him in unison.
Facing everyone's eyes, the daimyo representative smiled and said:
"Everyone, I think it's a good thing for us that Konoha asks for money. It's a great thing.
But the village needs to keep it secret."
"Isn't Konoha short of money and unable to participate in this military operation?
Then we will give it to him!
But we have to sign a confidentiality agreement.
Konoha cannot publicize this matter. As long as we give money, Konoha will stand on our side and speak for us.
We can also use this to persuade other villages to join in."
"Even when giving money, you might as well give more to cut off Konoha's chance to compete for benefits.
We can even ask Konoha to help us get more benefits."
The joint action of the five major ninja villages is not as simple as just pretending.
Which village sends how many people, how much benefits are distributed, these all need to go through various negotiations and wrangling before they can be determined.
Doesn't Konoha want money?
We will give it, but the benefits and profits of Konoha will belong to our Kumogakure.
We will not force Konoha to send a certain number of people to work hard.
But at the critical moment, Konoha must help the Cloud Village to gain benefits.
At least it can't be so frivolous and play neutral after receiving money.
It seems to make sense.
In the Raikage's office, many people's eyes lit up, and even Ai's frowning brows relaxed.
The village gave Konoha money privately and was slaughtered as a fat sheep, that's right!
On the contrary, if the village gave money, then Konoha must support the village's military operations, at least on the surface!
When fighting for interests, you have to stand on the side of the village.
After calculating it this way, it seems that giving money is not a loss, it depends on how big Konoha's appetite is.
If it's not too much, what about giving them a military operation fee.
"It's a serious matter. I will go to Konoha in person and negotiate with them."
Ai slapped the table and stood up. He felt that he needed to go to Konoha in person.
It involves some important interests and huge amounts of money.
Samui and Ma Buyi can't make such a decision. Instead of passing the news back and forth, it's better to go there in person.
There is also the risk of being kidnapped when delivering information.
Once the underground conspiracy of the two villages is known to other villages.
New troubles will come.
Therefore, Ai will go to Konoha in person.
He left as soon as he said he would. Ai, who had long been impatient, told the village's senior officials to keep an eye on the curious rabbi and not let him run around.
Then he took a few guards and went straight to Konoha overnight.
There was no movement from the Cloud Village. Samui and Ma Buyi stayed in their residence honestly and did not go anywhere.
Tsunade thought the matter was over.
At this time, the Raikage had secretly arrived outside the village and sent someone to notify Konoha to prevent misunderstandings and leaks of the news.
"The Raikage came in person?"
Tsunade, who received the news, thought the people in the Anbu were joking.
She was still waiting for the reply from the Cloud Village, but the Raikage came in person.
It was enough to see how sincere the Cloud Village was.
