Chapter 425 The Silence Before the Storm

In the current ninja world, only Konoha and Kumogakure can give enough support to Iwagakure.

If they cannot be convinced, even if the Daimyo of Fire Country and the Daimyo of Lightning Country feel sorry for them and want to support them, it will not work.

Because this kind of thing cannot be decided by the Daimyo's agreement.

The Daimyo of Lightning Country and Kumogakure are in the same boat. If Kumogakure does not agree, the Daimyo of Lightning Country will not nod.

The Daimyo of Fire Country is even more ridiculous. He is extremely dependent on Konoha. As long as Konoha does not nod, you want to get support from Fire Country, I am afraid you are dreaming.

"First send people to the Daimyo of Lightning Country and the Daimyo of Fire Country to negotiate with the Daimyo to buy some supplies, and then find a way to do the rest."

"Lord Tsuchikage..."

A senior executive stood up and wanted to mention the previous suggestion.

However, he was interrupted by Ohnoki:

"No hurry, buy a batch of supplies first, at least let the villagers settle down, I have already thought about it, and will give you a reasonable explanation."

After this, many senior officials of Iwagakure showed their joy, including the Daimyo of the Land Country who hurried to Iwagakure.

It's not that he doesn't want to support Iwagakure, but the landlord's family doesn't have much spare money.

It's already very difficult to temporarily withdraw a sum of money.

The rest can only be solved by Iwagakure itself.

After all, the expenses of the Daimyo's mansion are not small, and the Daimyo's mansion is not decided by him alone.

All forces are fighting and shirking responsibilities. Don't mention money to them, otherwise they will turn against each other.

Unlike what the outside world imagines, Iwagakure did not angrily accuse the Akatsuki organization and issue various announcements, but dully launched rescue operations and did not even ask for help from other villages.

Something is wrong, it's too quiet.

The reaction of Iwagakure is a bit unexpected.

Normally, when such a big thing happens, even if there is really no need for assistance from other villages, at least the Rock Village should do some superficial work.

Unfortunately, the Rock Village did not do so. It was very quiet from beginning to end, doing its own things and saving its own disasters. It was a little scary.

Like the calm before the storm, it seems calm, but in fact, the terrible storm will soon hit.

"Dongdongdong!"

"Come in."

Yan collected his thoughts, responded, and sat back in his chair.

"Assistant, this is a letter from the Daimyo's Mansion."

"Leave it to me."

Yan took the letter from the ninja of the Intelligence Department and took a look. It was not opened yet, but was sent directly to him.

After thinking for a while, Yan opened it directly and did not let anyone send the letter to Tsunade.

Opening the letter and glancing at the contents inside, Yan frowned slightly.

The letter was sent from the Daimyo's Mansion. The reason was that the Daimyo of the Land of Earth came to negotiate with him and wanted to buy a large batch of supplies.

The situation in the ninja world was unstable at this time, and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire did not dare to sell things indiscriminately, for fear of aiding the enemy.

So he sent someone to deliver the letter to Konoha as soon as possible.

He wanted to see what Konoha's attitude was.

If Konoha didn't object, he would definitely be happy to sell it.

If Konoha refused, he could only choose to refuse despite his desire to make money.

The daimyo was becoming more and more obedient and sensible.

He silently gave the other party a thumbs up.

Yan picked up the letter, walked towards the door, and said to the ninja from the Intelligence Department:

"Thank you for your hard work. Go back first. If you need anything, I will send someone from the Anbu to communicate with you."

"Yes, Assistant."

The intelligence ninja who delivered the letter left the Hokage office building.

Yan, holding the envelope, came to the Hokage's office, knocked on the door, and opened the door and walked in.

In the office, Tsunade, Shizune, and Izumi gathered together, whispering about shopping and buying things, and they were chatting happily.

Seeing that the three of them didn't even look back at him, they were just chatting.

Yan couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Sure enough, as long as they are women, no matter what age they are, they like shopping. These three women of different ages can chat happily when they get together.

It's a bit like men drinking together and bragging.

Before drinking, there was a huge age gap. After drinking, they became good brothers and sisters.

"Iwagakure wants to go to the daimyo's mansion to buy a batch of supplies through the daimyo's road. It needs a lot, so the daimyo specifically asked us to know the village's position and attitude."

Yan threw the letter on the table in a bad mood, interrupting the three people's shopping and chatting.

Among the three, Tsunade was awkward.

Although she was also interested, she didn't have much money.

Shizune had some savings, but not much.

After all, Tsunade was always watching covetously, and only Izumi's small treasury was relatively sufficient.

"I'm not saying anything bad about you two, but the combined money of the two of you is less than Izumi's. Don't you think it's a bit redundant to discuss what to buy?"

Yan felt that Tsunade and Shizune were getting cocky and needed to be cooled down.

"........"

But the speed at which Yan cooled down was a bit scary. Tsunade and Shizune froze in place, and the smiles on their faces froze. The two looked at each other tacitly, and then showed frustrated expressions.

"Puff~~~"

Izumi on the side burst out laughing.

In fact, the salary of the Hokage and the Hokage's secretary is still very high.

It is definitely one of the best in Konoha.

But with Tsunade, the spendthrift woman, Tsunade and Shizune's wallets can't compare with Izumi's.

One of them is saving more and more, and is showing signs of becoming a wealthy woman. The other two are getting poorer and poorer.

I want to punch you to death. You can't talk, so you don't have to say it!

Tsunade was so angry that she covered her chest with her hands, which made Nako feel pain.

Shizune's eyes have lost their color. The money she saved is getting less and less, which she didn't expect.

In the past, when she was poor, she could still convince herself that she didn't make much money by hiding from others.

Now it's over, and she can't find any excuses.

I paid off my foreign debts, and I thought I could save money well.

In the end, my wallet never bulged.

Woo woo woo, it's all my fault for being too indulgent to the Hokage.

Shizune felt like crying.

I didn't want to go shopping anymore, and I still had to deal with the things that needed to be dealt with.

Tsunade opened the letter and read it. Soon she raised her head in confusion:

"It is naturally no problem to buy a batch of supplies. Besides, the supplies are purchased from the daimyo's mansion. As long as the daimyo agrees, we will definitely not refuse. But does the Rock Village still have so much money?"

The Rock Village is not one of the protagonists of the war. As long as it is not involved in the war, it is reasonable to go to the daimyo's mansion to buy things. Konoha cannot just find an excuse to refuse others.

The biggest problem is, does the Rock Village still have money to buy supplies?

Given the situation of their village, rescue is a problem.

"It is probably collected by the daimyo's mansion, but don't you feel something is wrong?"

Yan sat directly on the desk and pointed at the map on the table with his hand: "The Rock Village is too quiet."
