Chapter 263 Jingyi: Don’t Ask, I Just Don’t Know

According to the original agreement, the Daming Mansion cannot interfere with the village's military operations or any military operations.

And the village cannot interfere with the taxation of Daming Mansion.

Therefore, Suna Ninja Village's behavior of bypassing Konoha and directly approaching the Daming Mansion was undoubtedly a slap in Konoha's face.

This is why Xiaochun is so angry when she goes to bed.

"The daimyo has no right to interfere directly in the war, but the daimyo can put pressure on us."

Mito Kaden took over the words calmly and reminded Koharu: "After three years of war, the village needs a large amount of capital injection, and most of the funding sources come from Daming Prefecture."

The daimyo cannot interfere in the military operations of the village, but the daimyo can withhold money from you.

You can't just say that you won't give me anything, but just give me a little bit of meaning, that's enough for you.

Not to mention, there are missions that the village depends on for its survival.

These are the confidence of the daimyo.

"Let's not talk about the daimyo for now."

The Third Hokage interrupted the transfer of Koharu and Mito Monohan, and pointed out the important point: "What we need to discuss now is whether the war should continue."

As long as Konoha doesn't agree to the peace talks, there's nothing the Daimyo can do.

But, will this war continue?

This is a point that the Third Hokage struggled with.

Qiu Daofeng was thinking seriously, while Jingyi leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs and yawned out of boredom.

This kind of meeting is the most boring.

Are you bored?

The Third Hokage saw Shizuichi yawning and his eyelids twitched a few times.

"Jingyi, do you think it is necessary for the village to continue fighting this war?"

Why did you ask me to come here?

Jingyi was stunned for a moment, then kicked the ball out:

"Sorry Hokage-sama, ANBU cannot interfere in war decisions."

Whether to continue fighting or not is a matter for the Hokage's office and has nothing to do with ANBU.

ANBU can't cross the border to point fingers.

In short, don't ask, you won't know even if you ask.

At least in principle, there's nothing wrong with Jingyi's answer.

It is enough for the ANBU to attend the meeting. As for the decision-making power, it has nothing to do with the ANBU, so you can decide for yourself.

A slippery boy.

Listening to Jingyi's words, everyone here knew that even if Jingyi arrived, they were just here to paddle and fish.

As for the question of whether the war should continue, he had no involvement at all.

"Fat man, what do you think?"

Shizuichi was playing ball here, and for a very good reason, the Third Hokage had no choice but to pull Akimichi to take advantage of him.

"Huh? Me?"

The fat man was surprised and pointed at himself. After the Third Hokage nodded in confirmation, he smiled bitterly:

"It's not okay for you to ask me this question. After all, I don't care. Whether the war continues or not depends on the decision of the three of you."

Ahem! !

This fat man is a talent.

Jingyi wanted to laugh.

The corners of the Third Hokage's mouth began to twitch.

Mito Menyan was also speechless.

Xiaochun's disgusted look when she went to bed was not concealed at all.

Fatty, you've had enough!

Seeing that something was not right in the atmosphere, Qiu Daocheng knew that he could not escape, and was forced to express his analysis.

"First of all, it is very important whether the village can still support the continuation of the war. Sand Ninja Village has reached its limit, what about us?"

"Secondly, Sand Ninja Village went to the Daming Mansion. It was clear that they wanted to use the Daiming's hand to put pressure on us. They don't want to fight, but they are unwilling to accept defeat and bear heavy war compensation."

"If you want the daimyo to stay out of the fight, the best way is to keep fighting!"

Akimichi Tifeng grabbed what Koharu said before turning to bed: "Koharu is right when he says that the daimyo cannot interfere with the military operations of the village. As long as we continue to fight, even if the daimyo is not happy, we can only maintain the status quo and the war continues. The Ninja Village will be defeated, and when the time comes, the negotiations will not be up to them. "

If both sides do not want to fight, then they engage in peace talks. That is called peace talks. If one side cannot bear it anymore and cannot continue fighting, that is called defeat negotiations.

Your Sand Ninja Village still wants to take advantage of the loophole?

I, Konoha, don’t want to lose face?

"But one thing is important."

It seemed that it was because he was too fat. After talking a lot in succession, Akimichi Tifeng became a little out of breath.

"The daimyo cannot interfere in the war. The problem is that if we choose to continue fighting, we will definitely offend the daimyo."

The relationship has been explained. As for the choice, it is up to you. I, the fat man, will not join in the fun.

The hot potato was back in the hands of the Third Hokage.

Obviously, the Third Hokage didn't like this hot potato either. He didn't want to just shake hands and make peace with the Suna Ninja Village. His idea was to directly defeat the Suna Ninja Village and negotiate with the Suna Ninja Village from the position of the winner.

The problem is that if you stubbornly ignore the Daimyo and continue the war, Suna Ninja Village will definitely lose, but it will be difficult for the Daimyo to explain.

It was to take the risk of offending the daimyo and win this war as a winner.

It's better to suffer a little loss, accept the daimyo's kindness, and accept the peace talks with Sand Ninja Village.

This is the choice faced by the Third Hokage.

The former can push up the prestige of an individual and the village and vent their anger, while the latter can accept more financial assistance from the Daming Prefecture.

After all, Konoha has given the daimyo enough face and agreed to negotiate peace with Sand Ninja Village. So in terms of fund allocation, should your daimyo spend more money?

If you don't get enough money, you won't feel sorry for yourself either.

What do you two think?

The Third Hokage decided to take a look at the attitudes of his two old friends.

"Fight!!" Utatane Koharu said this word with a gloomy face.

Although her attitude to the outside world is not as extreme and tough as Shimura Danzo, she is also a rare hardliner in the high-level circle, even if she is not very capable.

At least her attitude is tough.

Compared with Utatane Koharu, Mitomon En is much gentler.

After thinking it over again and again, he sighed:

"Maintain the status quo and wait for the news from the daimyo's mansion."

It is impossible to stop the Sand Village's envoys. It is reluctant to give up the war and the chance of victory. It is a bit difficult to consider the daimyo's opinion.

The only way is to maintain the status quo, fight when necessary, and wait for the news from the daimyo's mansion.

The daimyo may not speak for the Sand Village. Don't forget that when the full-scale war broke out, the Sand Village sent people to sneak into the Land of Fire, making the Land of Fire a mess. The daimyo was furious and suffered serious tax losses.

Who knows, he might throw a big bag in the face of the envoys.

The attitude of the daimyo is very important.

After the meeting, it was already late at night.

Jingyi and Akimichi Tofu left the Hokage office building together.

On the way, Akimichi Tofu asked curiously:

"Why are you so quiet today? This is not like your style."

"In a meeting targeting me, I will definitely be tougher. As for today's meeting, why should I worry about it? I'm not the Hokage."

It's torture. No wonder Tsunade doesn't like to attend these messy meetings.

Jingyi yawned several times in a row.

I'm sleepy.

I want to sleep.

The fat man Akimichi Tofu is not in a much better state.
