The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

"Lord Hokage."

Early the next morning, shortly after Hanzo sat in Hokage's office, Kaguya Aoiwa pushed the door open and came in, holding the paper Hanzo gave him yesterday.

Hanzo smiled calmly and said: "What do you think of Konoha's conditions? Kirigakure may accept it."

Hearing what Hanzo said, a hint of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Kaguya Qingyan's face. After a while, Kaguya Qingyan said: "Hokage-sama, I wonder if the third and sixth items are OK?"

Before Kaguya Qingyan finished speaking, Hanzo shook his head and said: "Let me tell you the truth. I am under tremendous pressure in the village to give you this treaty. Many elders are not satisfied with this treaty." Questioned, so this is already my bottom line of Konoha, if Kirigakure still wants to amend the treaty and ask Konoha to lower the conditions."

Saying that, Hanzo spread his hands, showing a helpless look, and said, "Then I can only express my regret."

Huiye Qingyan couldn't help laughing wryly upon hearing this.

Naturally, he wouldn't believe what Hanzo said. Even he, a ninja from the outer village, had heard of Hokage's prestige and power in Konoha.

But what Hanzo said undoubtedly showed that Konoha would never lower the conditions.

Kaguya Qingyan hesitated for a while, and had no choice but to salute: "Master Hokage, the content of this contract has exceeded the scope of my authority. I have to go back to the village to ask Master Mizukage, and please forgive me."

Hanzang didn't care too much when he heard the words, and said: "The emissary, please hurry up, if it takes too long, I may not be able to withstand the pressure of the elders."

Kaguya Qingyan couldn't help but his face twitched, but he had nothing to say, so he could only say: "I understand, Kirigakure will reply to Konoha as soon as possible. Lord Hokage, take your leave."

"Excuse me for not giving it away, but send my regards to Mizukage-sama."

Kaguya Qingyan's mission this time is not an official mission, and Konoha naturally does not need to follow the formal procedures to see off the Kirigakure messenger.

After bowing to Hanzo, Kaguya Aoiwa left Hokage's office.

Right after Kaguya Aoiwa left, Shimada Shunichi appeared in Hokage's office.

Shimada Shunichi asked curiously: "Clan leader, what is the content of the treaty you gave to Kaguya Qingyan?"

Hanzo suddenly smiled, and said: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just asking for a demilitarized zone between Konoha and Kirigakure, and at the same time asking Kirigakure to agree with Konoha."

The specific treaty is naturally not that simple, but in general, Hanzo just wants to achieve this goal.

When Kirigakure and Konoha have always held the same position, no matter what Kirigakure's high-level executives think in their hearts, from the outside world, Kirigakure and Konoha are essentially allies.

No matter what conspiracy other ninja villages have, they will not easily and trust Kirigard, which will invisibly increase the cost of Kirigard's betrayal.

Moreover, after Kirigakure joins Konoha's economic circle, Konoha's economic penetration into Kirigakure will also accelerate. When the economies of the two villages are inseparable, Kirigakure will really not be able to betray Konoha, unless Kirigakure wants to Use your life to severely damage Konoha.

But Shunichi Shimada in front of him obviously didn't think that much, just nodded, and said suspiciously: "It sounds like there's nothing wrong with it."

He clapped his fingers and said to himself: "If you exchange [-]% of the interests of the four small countries for Kirigakure's support and the leader of the DMZ, you don't have any other plans, do you?"

His eyes flicked to Hanzo.

He was promoted to elder only after Hanzo took charge of the family, so he naturally has a deeper understanding of Hanzo's strategic plan.

"No, absolutely not." Hanzo vowed, "You think too much."

"What a mouthful." Shimada Junichi curled his lips, and then said carelessly: "Anyway, whatever plan the clan leader has, I guess it's not something I can handle."

"Okay." Hanzo also smiled helplessly, and said, "You should hurry up too, and don't miss Kaguya Qingyan in a while."

"Understood, Patriarch." Shimada Jun nodded, and then disappeared into Hokage's office.

After Kirigakure and the others left, Hanzo began to deal with various documents, but this morning was destined to be uneventful.

Not long after, Senju Takedoka, who was in charge of the logistics department, opened the door and walked into Hokage's office.

I saw the great elder of the Senju clan walking swiftly to Hanzo's desk and said, "Lord Hokage, I heard that you provided a treaty to the Kirigakure envoy."

"There is such a thing."

Hanzo nodded.

According to Konoha's regulations, Hokage is eligible to conclude treaties with other ninja villages, but the treaties must be reported to all elders before they are formally signed.

Hanzo prepared the treaty and did not communicate with others before, but now that the treaty has been given out, Hanzo must report to the elders, and there is a scene in front of him.

I saw Senju Takeoka, who was a bit jealous, patted the paper in his hand on the desk, and said excitedly: "Hokage-sama, that's [-]% of the profit, how could Kirigakure be given to whoever gave it to Kirigakure? You may not know about our financial situation in Konoha."

Before Senju Takeoka finished speaking, Hanzo waved his hands helplessly and said comfortingly: "Elder Takeoka, don't be anxious, listen to me first."

Although Senju Takemadoka was a bit rude, but the other party was doing this because of business, of course Hanzo didn't mind, and instead explained: "Although the [-]% benefits are quite a lot, if we can gain a stable ally through this, it won't do us any favors." Ye's status in the ninja world is also beneficial.

What's more, hasn't the village just received 200 billion taels of funds? The funds from Daming Mansion should also arrive in the next two days. In my opinion, the village's financial situation should not have any problems in the short term."

When Hanzo was talking, Senju Takemoto calmed down a little bit, he was no longer as excited as before, just smiled wryly, and said: "Master Hokage, if the village could get this batch of funds last year, then our financial It's really loose.

However, in the past year, the village's organization has expanded a lot, and the ministries that were originally understaffed have gradually become full. In addition, the construction of the village has entered a new stage, and the financial expenditure has also increased significantly. It can last for one or two years, and I am afraid that it will fall into a fiscal deficit again. "

Hanzo couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words, he really didn't expect the financial expenditure of the village to reach this level.

Hanzo's contribution to this is not small. After all, whether it is the interrogation room, the security team, or the increase in personnel in the sealing squad, Hanzo made the decision on his head.

Thinking of this, Hanzo couldn't help but feel a little guilty, so he had to change the subject quickly, saying, "Elder Takemata, this is also a necessary investment. Kirigakure's effect on us is not obvious, but we also have to think about our juniors."

This is reasonable, Senshou Zhuyuan thought about it, and accepted the reason, and his tone softened a lot, and said: "In this case, I am talking too much, but I still hope that Hokage-sama will act in the future. Consider the financial situation of the village."

Hanzo also nodded again and again, saying: "Next time, definitely, next time."

Only then did Senju Takemaru leave Hokage's office satisfied.
