Daily Life of the Third Hokage

The two sides of the river were in chaos.

Tsunade was filled with anger, and the dust and sand in the wind hit her face. She thought indignantly: "These guys are always causing trouble, and their intervention will only make the situation more chaotic." However, she also knew that she had a great responsibility and must resolve the conflict in a peaceful way.

Jiraiya seemed relatively calm. He stood firmly in place, letting the wind and sand blow.

He thought: "Although the actions of Kumogakure and Iwagakure were unexpected, they were also reasonable. We must be careful and not let their conspiracy succeed." He looked determined and prepared to meet the next challenge.

"It seems that our prediction is correct." Orochimaru said calmly, "We must proceed with caution."

"Yes, we need to be more cautious." Hatake Sakumo added, "We can't easily expose our whereabouts, and we can't trust anyone."

"I will ensure everyone's safety." Tsunade said firmly, "As long as I am here, I will do my best to treat your condition."

Jiraiya said: "What's there to be afraid of? Wasn't that mission dangerous? This time we are also fully prepared, and the old man has prepared a lot of things for us.

This little difficulty is like taking my life, then my name is too worthless."

"Okay, clean up the scene, we need to go there as soon as possible." Orochimaru's voice came from behind.

-----------------

At the border between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Rain, the fierce battle gradually subsided, and the diffuse smoke was still floating in the air. The battle between Sand Village and Rain Village paused for a while, and the battlefield was in a mess, and both sides paid a heavy price.

Orochimaru, Hatake Sakumo, Jiraiya and Tsunade were ordered by their master Sarutobi Hiruzen to mediate the conflict between Sand Village and Rain Village.

They came to the front-line camp of Sand Village and asked to see the top leaders of Sand Village in the name of Konoha.

Entering the camp, they faced cumbersome checkpoints.

The Sand Village ninjas were on high alert and were wary of the arrival of the four Konoha ninjas.

However, Orochimaru and others finally passed the checkpoints in the name of Konoha and finally met the third generation Kazekage Takumi, Sand Village assistant Chiyo and Ebizo.

The atmosphere in the spacious tent was tense and solemn. The third generation Kazekage Takumi sat in the center, his eyes tired but full of determination. Chiyo and Ebizo stood aside with sadness and anger on their faces.

Orochimaru spoke first, his voice was calm and firm: "Lord Kazekage, we are here on behalf of Konoha to ask you to consider a ceasefire. This war has caused too much pain and loss, and endless fighting cannot solve the problem."

The Third Kazekage opposed Orochimaru's proposal for a ceasefire with a firm and strong attitude. His eyes were sharp and his expression was serious, as if he regarded Orochimaru's proposal as a contempt and insult to Sand Village.

He stood up straight, his voice was loud and powerful, and he clearly expressed his views. Every word was full of determination and firmness, making it impossible to ignore his position.

"Ceasefire? Absolutely not!" The words of the Third Kazekage swept through the camp like a storm. "The sneak attack of Yuyin has caused us huge losses. How can we stop fighting at this time?" His eyes were burning with anger, as if he wanted to burn the enemy to ashes.

He continued: "We must avenge our dead compatriots and let the enemy pay for their crimes!" Every word was heavy, making people feel the anger and unwillingness in his heart.

The opposition of the Third Kazekage was not out of recklessness or impulse, but based on his responsibility to Sand Village and his deep understanding of the enemy. He firmly believed that only through fighting could the dignity and interests of Sand Village be defended and his people be protected.

Under his strong opposition, Orochimaru's proposal seemed pale and powerless. The atmosphere in the camp became tense and solemn, as if a new storm was coming.

Ebizo's eyes were cold, and he patted the table and said: "Ceasefire? Orochimaru, you know that Yuyin just attacked us and we suffered heavy losses.

My sister's son and daughter-in-law were also killed in this attack. How can we give up easily!"

Chiyo's eyes were wet and full of grief. She choked and said: "My children... They died innocently, how can this hatred not be avenged! I want them to pay for their lives."

"Sarutobi sent you a group of juniors to carry out the so-called mediation?" The calm Third Kazekage Takumi asked abruptly.

This

Is it because of my youth that I am looked down upon? Or is it purely because of my status?

Orochimaru chuckled and said, "Master needs to prepare for the expansion of the Five Kage Association. We are acting in the name of Konoha, and we can also represent Konoha's attitude.

Any decision I make this time is Konoha's decision, even if it is armed intervention, it is decided by me.

I am absolutely qualified to mediate."

Orochimaru first explained that Master has more important things to do, and your matter is a trivial matter for Master.

In addition, the characters represent Konoha, and Konoha is behind us. Don't look down on us just because we are young.

In addition, he stated that he is now the full representative of Konoha, and implicitly pointed out his identity as the successor of Hokage.

Takumi's political wisdom is low, but not without, and he quickly heard what Orochimaru meant.

He said, "Oh, the successor of Hokage, this identity is still worth talking about in the ninja world." Then he ignored them.

Seeing this, Jiraiya took a step forward, facing Chiyo, and said seriously: "We understand your pain, but continuing to fight will only bring more sacrifices and sorrow. It is not wise to let hatred continue to spread."

Tsunade then added: "War will only break more families, and we should seek a peaceful solution."

Chiyo shouted angrily: "How can you understand my pain! My son and daughter-in-law are innocent!"

Ebizo interrupted: "Konoha ninjas, we appreciate your concern, but this is our Sand Village business, we will solve it ourselves."

This is a bit like an order to expel guests, meaning: Are you Konoha meddling in other people's business? Why do you Konoha want to interfere in our Sand Village's business?

Orochimaru was silent for a moment, then said to the Third Kazekage Takumi: "I understand your feelings, but there are no winners in this war. Not only you, but also Yugakure is suffering. We should find a solution that both sides can accept."

(Not only you have suffered heavy losses, but also Yugakure has suffered heavy losses. Now that you have fought, isn't it time to stop and make some conditions?)

Hatake Sakumo said to Takumi: "Lord Kazekage, we can explore the possibility of peace together to avoid more sacrifices."

(Brother Kazekage, if you continue to fight, your losses will become more and more serious)
