Chapter 298: Poison Wrapped in Honey, Do You Dare to Eat It?

You're not kidding! !

The third Hokage's pupils trembled. He couldn't believe that Shizuichi actually had a solution to the problem that had been bothering him for months! ! !

Looking at Shizuichi who looked confident and smiled without saying a word, the Third Hokage knew that this guy was waiting for him to show his sincerity.

I have a solution, but I won't tell you easily.

Either make your own guess, or show sincerity.

Damn it!

Got picked on again.

The Third Hokage cursed inwardly.

"As long as Ino Shikacho doesn't step on my bottom line, then the position of Jonin squad leader will always belong to them. Is this sincerity enough?"

What is the bottom line of the Third Hokage?

Naruto's throne.

As long as he doesn't touch this bottom line, he won't attack Zhuludie.

Now Pig, Deer and Butterfly can feel at ease.

After all, they were the first family to take sides. Although it was because of Uzumaki Mito, Ino Shikacho was able to resolutely stand on Tsunade's side, which was regarded as sacrificing a lot of benefits.

Jingyi remembers all these things, but he just doesn't have a good chance to make amends.

Arranging for Zhulu Die's people to join the ANBU was just a matter of getting along well with each other. It's good for you and me.

Jingyi would not ignore it when he could benefit Zhuludie.

As an ally, you will get something if you pay.

As long as the Third Hokage does not step on the bottom line of the Third Hokage, the Third Hokage cannot move on the position of Jonin Class Leader. This condition is definitely good news for Inorika Die.

The Third Hokage expressed his sincerity.

Jingyi raised his head, looked at the sky and said casually:

"Hokage-sama can write a letter of apology to the daimyo, telling the daimyo that the village should accept the impact of the peace talks at this time, and make the impact more serious. By then, Konoha will not be able to live well, and the daimyo mansion will also be difficult to live with. By the way, tell the daimyo, you Wrong, peace talks should not be rejected.”

"But it's too late to say anything now, so you decided to reduce the size of Konoha ninja after the war is over."

"What?"

The Third Hokage exclaimed.

It's okay to ask him to write a letter of apology privately in the name of Hokage. It's okay to exaggerate a little, but when it comes to Konoha's intention to reduce the size of ninjas, the third Hokage is not calm.

This kind of thing is no joke.

If it moves even slightly, the whole of Konoha will be in chaos.

"It's fake, it's fake. How can the number of ninjas in the village be reduced?"

Jingyi silently comforted the Third Hokage: "This is for the Daimyo to know that the village's finances are very tight and development has stalled. Without money, the village can only choose to reduce the number of ninjas."

"Be direct and tell him the consequences of reducing the ninja."

What would happen if Konoha massively reduced the number of ninjas?

The answer is clear, that is, wars will continue to break out.

The decrease in the number of ninjas means that Konoha's war potential has come to an end. Without its war potential, would it still dare to start a war casually?

There is no way to fight, and then everyone will be able to stare at the Fire Nation and take a bite out of it.

You must know that the resource-rich Fire Country is a big piece of meat in the eyes of every village, and everyone wants to take a bite.

"The daimyo will restrain themselves and give the village enough funds for development?"

The Third Hokage was deeply suspicious.

You want to eat shit!

I still have enough money. It would be great if I could give you the funds that I have been dragging on. I still have enough money! !

You Sarutobi Hiruzen have such a big face.

"It is impossible to have enough funds, but the delayed funds will definitely be sent to Konoha in time. If there is no movement in the Daming Palace within ten days, then all the ninjas in the camps near the Earth Kingdom and the Iron Kingdom will be withdrawn. By the way, find someone to spread the news. It is best to let the ninja world know that Konoha is preparing to reduce the number of ninjas because of lack of money. "

"This is forced labor!!!"

The third Hokage has black lines all over his head.

How dare you say that.

Jingyi came up with a little bear and spread his hands indifferently:

"Besides this, is there any other way, Hokage-sama?"

Forced uterus also depends on the situation.

If you do as I say, it will just scare the daimyo, not a real attempt to force her to have a baby.

As long as Daming knows that he is afraid, he will definitely send the money.

Besides, it’s not me, Hyuga Seiichi, who forced me into the palace, but you, the Third Hokage, and you, Sarutobi Hiruzen! !

It doesn't matter what the outcome is anyway, because the daimyo will blame you.

And the frightened ninjas in the village will blame you too.

In short, this is a poison wrapped in honey. It won't poison people, but it can make people want to die.

If you eat it, it can solve the big trouble in the village. Although the subsequent impact will be big, it is nothing compared to the current troubles in the village. As long as you are prepared, it will be easy to calm down.

It just affects your reputation.

So, take your pick.

Do you want to eat it or not.

"I need to think about it."

The Third Hokage did not express his position on the spot. According to Shizuichi, even if the problem can be solved, he will definitely be hated by the daimyo and will be hated by many ninjas in the village.

Ninjas are a part-time profession. Reducing the number of ninjas means that many ninjas will become ordinary people.

The question is, how can these ninjas with no life skills and no ability to make money survive?

Even if it was just a lie, the ninjas who knew the truth would curse.

Jingyi doesn't care about the subsequent consequences, because it's not him who makes people hate him, and it's not him who gets scolded.

"Hokage-sama, please think about it slowly."

Jing Yi waved his hand and withdrew decisively.

It's late at night, now that we've finished talking about it, who would be interested in watching the stars with this bad old man like you?

Worry about things yourself.

As the saying goes, who is the Hokage is the one who is worried.

Early the next morning, Shizuichi arrived at the ANBU base. As soon as he entered the door, Nara Shikashin stood up impatiently.

Shizuichi had already sent someone to send news to Ino Shikacho about what happened last night. As for the details, Shizuichi hadn’t said anything yet, so Nara Shikashin arrived here early in the morning to wait.

"This amount." Shizuichi raised a finger and shook his head at Nara Shikashin.

Fortunately, he raised his index finger instead of his middle finger, otherwise it would not be a reminder, but a curse.

Why does it feel weird to shake this finger?

Nara Shikashin didn't think much, but asked: "Are there no other conditions?"

Sitting on the chair, Jingyi motioned to Ye Cang to make a cup of tea.

After Ye Cang left, Jingyi said:

"The position of Hokage's assistant must be returned. Regardless of whether it is an empty position or not, it is one of the high-level positions that can keep the Hokage's office in check. Secondly, I made some suggestions to Hokage-sama, and he promised that as long as Inoka If you don't step on the bottom line, the position of Jonin class leader will always be yours."

Since you choose to keep someone else with you, why would you go out of your way to leave her alone when something important happens?

Regarding the relationship between Shizuichi and Hagura, Nara Shikashin can only say that he is too old to understand it anymore.
