I have a bunch of relatives who want to be Hokage

It was supposed to be a traditional plot in which senior executives beat their chests and screamed about the loss of talented people, but the presence of Metkai forced the plot to change.

Matkai inherited his father's legacy and also practiced this ninjutsu.

So the plot changed to the two generations of Hokages opening their arms together and giving the heroic orphan a hug full of love.

Uchiha Shingen sat at the very end, separated from Metkai by Kakashi Hatake. From the order of seats, one could tell the status of Metkai in the eyes of Konoha's senior officials.

The little green-skinned man is not as elegant as he will be in the future. He probably doesn't realize the significance of sitting here, so he just sits there with a confused look on his face, looking at the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost with a very complicated look.

Obviously he knew that the person opposite him could be regarded as his father-killing enemy.

Kakashi Hatake's expression was hard to tell, after all, only one eye was exposed.

All in all everyone is serious.

The Watermelon Mountain Fugu Demon took out a scroll from his arms, placed it on the table, and gently pushed it between Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This location is very clever.

Namikaze Minato also took out a scroll, pushed it towards the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon, and conveniently copied Kirigakure's scroll into his hand.

Then he handed it to Sarutobi Hiruzen first.

"Sandaime-sama, I am not familiar with the handwriting of the Daimyo of the Land of Water. Please check it."

"You are the Hokage. Such important documents should be inspected by you personally. I cannot overstep my authority." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile, "Of course, I, an old man, will also help you inspect your handwriting."

"Oh, it's just that I'm not mature enough to bother the Sandaime with such a trivial matter." Namikaze Minato sighed, then opened the scroll and spread it between him and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Both the old and the young looked seriously.

On the opposite side, the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon also opened the scroll handed over by Minato Namikaze and examined it carefully.

Obviously this was a high-level meeting, and the content discussed involved not only the interests of Konoha and Kirigakure, but also the national affairs of the Land of Fire and the Land of Water.

No wonder the Hokage Building's notice to the Uchiha clan didn't even include the content of the meeting.

Uchiha Shingen observed it. Not counting Hatake Kakashi and Metkai, everyone else attending the meeting on the Konoha side obviously had a full understanding of this.

After a while, both parties examining the letter of appointment raised their heads.

"Sir Xiguashan, what do you think of the letter of appointment for our country's famous names?"

"Look, it's no problem. The letter of appointment for our country's daimyo, Hokage-sama, can you please read it?"

"Your country's letter of appointment is well written, but it lacks the autograph of the daimyo." Namikaze Minato said, "For a long time, the daimyo of various countries have personally signed the letter of appointment. This is true for our country and the three countries of Wind, Earth, and Thunder. .”

"I'm sorry, the customs in our country are different from those in foreign countries. We use personal seals, which are as valid as signatures." Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost explained with an apologetic look, "Please understand, Hokage-sama."

"I won't be too serious this time, but since your country is sincere in having good relations with foreign countries, why doesn't it follow the practices of other countries?"

"The daimyo of our country never autograph. Regarding this matter, I will definitely explain it to Lord Mizukage after I return to my country and ask him to advise the daimyo."

"This is best." Namikaze Minato nodded.

Sarutobi Hiruzen on the side suddenly said: "The Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Water have not had diplomatic relations in the past. Can the two sides keep each other's documents for this letter of appointment?"

"Okay." Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost agreed.

Namikaze Minato handed the letter of appointment to Sarutobi Hiruzen and continued: "This time we are talking about important matters between the two countries. Mr. Suikoyama is well-informed. I hope that this meeting can benefit both parties."

"Of course." Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost nodded, with a somewhat passionate tone, "Among the countries, water and fire are the two most neighboring countries. Today's dispute is only temporary. In the long run, mutual assistance and mutual benefit are the best policy. If we have been enemies for generations, , not only is it not good for the Country of Fire, it is also not good for the Country of Water. We are all countries in the south of the continent, and we should put the overall situation first and always make peace, so that we will not be bullied by the countries in the north."

His words made everyone present look at him.

Good guy, this guy who is famous for being cruel and ruthless in the ninja world actually talks in the same way.

Both the north and the south came out.

"Lord Watermelon Mountain," Namikaze Minato couldn't help but remind, "The Country of Fire and the Country of Thunder, Konoha and Kumogakure are also friendly parties."

"That's exactly what I mean." The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost looked approvingly, "Konoha and Kumogakure can be on good terms, so why should we be worried about us Kirigakure?"

On the other side of him, the old man with a cross scar on his chin frowned.

"Whether the Fire Country and the Water Country have good relations will not take into account the attitude of the third country."

Then he said to Namikaze Minato: "Yondaime, let's continue discussing business."

Chapter 47 Shimura Danzo VS Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost

Sitting in his seat, Uchiha Shingen listened to the conversation between the two sides. After listening for a while, he probably understood what the two sides were talking about.

To put it simply, because the Ninja World War continues to expand the battlefield, it has risen to the national level. Konoha is the victor, which naturally leads to the Fire Nation becoming the victor.

Although Kirigakure and Konoha signed an armistice agreement and even included economic exchanges, it was limited to two villages. For the two countries, the armistice was far from enough.

However, because it was triggered by the Great Ninja War, the two parties involved in the negotiations became two major ninja villages, with full entrustment by the daimyo of the two countries.

It's no wonder that after Sunagakure's defeat this time, the Feng Daimyo made targeted cuts in military spending and task orders.

For the Kingdom of Wind, Sunagakure declared war on Konoha on the grounds that the third generation Kazekage was killed, but surrendered early. This really cheated the Kingdom of Wind, and the Kingdom of Wind had to pay benefits to the Kingdom of Fire.

[The gameplay of the hub is completely different. No wonder the third generation Hokage can still be in the position of assisting the Hokage. 】

Uchiha Shingen thought about it carefully and understood a lot of things.

These rules have never been considered by the Uchiha clan in the past.

It's not that I don't want to understand, it's just that I haven't entered the center and I've been isolated from the national affairs of Konoha and Damingfu. I don't know how this mechanism works.

In the understanding of the Uchiha clan, a ceasefire between villages means peace between countries.

Because I don't understand, there will be a big deviation in the understanding of Hokage's abdication and assumption of office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen abdicated, essentially not because the agreement with the Iwa Ninja was too ugly. On the surface, Konoha suffered a loss, but the Earth Kingdom still had to pay benefits and would eventually repay Konoha.

Iwagakure has nothing to lose and will become the best bargaining chip for the Country of Fire, but the Country of Earth will pay more.

Sarutobi Hiruzen still got the benefits he deserved for Konoha.

Abdicating the throne is just to push Namikaze Minato into the center and once again expand the power of their department in the center.

[Alas, if I were still Qianju, I would feel that the big dog guy didn’t choose the wrong person...]

Uchiha Shingen felt a little pain in his head.

He was personally very pleased that the students he taught back then played the power game so skillfully, but now he was a little bit frustrated.

One week after another, he didn't care about the change in seniority. Outside of zero games, it was all experience packages for him.

I just find it troublesome.

This was the way he used to play games. Unless Leng was a loser, he wouldn't set goals for the next week.

People would not die without seeing the Yellow River. They would have to jump in and swim a few laps until they drowned.

In the field, the talks continued.

Namikaze Minato is obviously young and has not really thought like a leader of a ninja village. If he is not careful, he will be led by the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon. But the two old foxes around him are not. Once this happens, they will Intervene immediately.

The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost fought against two and was quickly defeated.

When the negotiation entered the most important part between the two parties, the Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost, who was buzzing with the yin and yang of the two dead old men, immediately expressed his position.

"Let me make a statement first. Our country's famous figures have said that the compensation will be two billion taels. The amount is too large and our country cannot do it."

Hearing these words, Konoha got excited.

Namikaze Minato made a tactical retreat.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out his pipe and began to smoke.

Next it’s time for Shimura Danzo’s performance.

Danzo Shimura paused his cane and said calmly: "The two billion taels has been reduced to the point where it cannot be reduced any more. If the war continues, your country will only lose more."

Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost shook his head and insisted on his attitude: "We can't afford two billion taels. If you add more, we won't be able to afford it. Please reduce it."

"It can't be reduced. After the war, this is the result. There is nothing we can do."

However, considering that the other party was the one who paid the money, Shimura Danzo suppressed the damn stubbornness in his heart and softened his tone.

"If you can't take it out at once, you can pay it in installments, for example, over forty years. The more installments you have, the smaller the burden will be. This is your business and has nothing to do with me. I'm just saying this by the way. Don't be offended."

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost: "Forty years? If it were you, would you be willing?"

Danzo Shimura: "It's not like I'm losing money. Anyway, you can pay in installments. The longer the period, the better."

Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost: "From the beginning of the war to now, our treasury has been empty. Unless we borrow money from other countries, our country has lost the war and its reputation has been greatly damaged."

Danzo Shimura: "The country of water is rich in resources, and there is wealth everywhere. Those countries will not fail to borrow it."

Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost: "Although our country's products are not barren, they cannot be developed."

Shimura Danzo: "It's okay. Your country has a lot of talents. We can just use their talents to develop financial resources."

These words made the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost a little unbearable, and the old man was yin and yang with him.

He said angrily: "You are so capable, why not become our minister of government?"

Danzo Shimura was not angry at all, he just said: "We have to ask our daimyo for instructions. In fact, I am quite happy to go."

The Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he sighed, with a hint of pleading in his tone.

"Since the Fire Daimyo doesn't approve you to be the minister of our Water Kingdom, you can't go. Can we, Kirigakure, force the Water Daimyo to pay? So please put yourself in my shoes, empathize with others, and be considerate of my situation. If you act like twenty With this number of 100 million taels, other countries will know that we must borrow money from them to repay the debt. When the time comes, they will definitely blackmail us and pay expensive interest. By then, we will not be able to borrow the money and cannot pay the compensation, and then we will have no choice but to start the war again. , why are you trying to push our country too far?"

Shimura Danzo's first reaction was actually quite happy.

But after all, it was a meeting, and he was also a former Hokage assistant after all, so this image was still needed.

So he just said: "Borrowing money to repay debts is your Water Country's business and has nothing to do with me."

Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost: "We have no money to repay the compensation, what should we do?"

Shimura Danzo: "That's why we reduced it to this number. There is no way to reduce it any more."

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost: "I still have to ask you to reduce it a little more."

Danzo Shimura: "It can't be reduced, so let me tell you the truth. I already know that you received a secret message from the Daming Palace yesterday. The bottom line is two billion. I followed it as written. This is our sincerity. What I just said The method is also true, you can go back and discuss it, but the number is this number, not a penny less."

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost: "..."

Uchiha Shingen looked at the fat man and felt sad for him from the bottom of his heart.

Shimura Danzo's main business is overseas intelligence investigation. If he dares to say this, it must be true.

One of the five great countries has even found out its underwear. What else is it for?

Chapter 48 Visiting the Roots

After a verbal dispute, the first round of talks between Konoha and Kirigakure ended, and everyone stood up to leave.

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon changed from his submissive behavior during the meeting, became incompetent and furious, and acted like a normal person.

No one is surprised.

We are all working part-time, so why should we be so serious? Just do our best.

Danzo Shimura felt a sense of accomplishment when he thought that he had earned another two billion for the Fire Nation.

These days are very tiring for him. Overseas intelligence work is very tiring.

The only thing that was not satisfactory was that Uchiha people were actually involved today. Although Nara Shikaku said he would explain, he still had objections to this.

These ninjas will still stick together at critical moments.

But after all, the Ninja clan is the remnant of the previous era. In the era of one country and one village, the overall trend will be declining.

The Shimura clan he belongs to has been disintegrating in the past few decades.

During this period, some tribesmen also wanted him to take action, but he refused.

Old things should be buried. Who is Danzo Shimura? He wanted to be Hokage because he felt that his approach was suitable for Konoha Hidden Village.

Why are you holding on to that one-third of an acre of land? What's wrong with being a regular member of the village? The village is not so stingy that it refuses to exchange credit for meritorious service, so it has to rely on the ninja clan to dare to compete with ninjas who are not from the ninja clan?

Just look at the Sarutobi clan. How many truly talented people are there now? They couldn't withstand the storm at all, and even if Hiruzen protected them, they would suffer in the future.

only……

The Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan are still so strong.

Especially the Uchiha.
