Start by meeting Xiaonan and save the goddess of the ninja world

Morning, Konoha Hospital.

"Where is this place?" Danzo asked in confusion.

"Danzo, you're awake. This is Konoha Hospital!" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his old friend with concern.

"Really?" Danzo turned his head and saw his empty right arm, his eyes staring at the ceiling blankly.

In my mind, “Let them escape…escape…let them escape!”

"Ah!" Danzo held his head in pain, the scenes of last night replayed in his mind, like the devil's whispers, lingering around him!

"Doctor, come and see what's going on!" Sarutobi shouted.

A medical ninja came quickly and placed his hand, which was filled with "medical ninjutsu", on Danzo's forehead. With the infusion of chakra, Danzo gradually stabilized.

The medical ninja heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this. He explained, "Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama must have been seriously injured yesterday and is mentally unstable."

"It's going to be okay?"

"Yes!" the medical ninja said affirmatively.

"So, his right arm...?"

"There's nothing we can do about this!"

"All right!"

Sarutobi looked at Danzo with concern and comforted him: "Danzo, you have to get better soon, I still need you..."

"Hokage, the Third Kazekage and his men are here again." An Anbu ninja whispered.

"Let's go meet them!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen had completed the surgery yesterday and had been recuperating since then. It was not until last night that he suddenly learned that Danzo had led his men to attack the Sand Village camp.

He didn't blame Danzo. After all, it was all for Konoha, and he was his comrade, so he could understand.

The iron filings in his body have been completely discharged from his organs, but a small part of them have been integrated into his blood vessels. If he does not fight frequently, the impact will not be significant. However, as he gets older, his health will gradually deteriorate.

Tsunade and the others would not arrive for a few days, so they could not wait and could only rely on the existing medical ninjas. But for the middle-aged Sarutobi, this was not a big problem!

The entrance to Konoha Village.

Seeing Sarutobi standing in front of him intact, Kazekage Kono was a little surprised and said jokingly: "Third Hokage, are you feeling better?"

Everyone in Konoha was a little angry, but Sarutobi didn't care. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Kazekage. I'm in good health!"

Kono observed carefully for a moment, but didn't see anything unusual. He put away his contempt and said, "We from Sunagakure came to Konoha this time to congratulate the beloved apprentice of the Third Hokage for defeating the 'demigod' of the ninja world."

Everyone in Konoha looked even darker, even Sarutobi was a little angry, but who was he? He was the strongest "Ninja World Professor"!

Sarutobi said without showing any emotion: "Thank you, Master Kazekage, for caring about your beloved disciple!"

Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Kazekage Kono said directly: "I won't beat around the bush. As long as you agree to my Sunagakure conditions, we will withdraw immediately!"

"Oh! I wonder what conditions Lord Kazekage has?" Sarutobi asked calmly.

"It's very simple!" Kono stretched out a finger and said, "As long as Konoha is willing to give Sunagakure 1000 billion ryo for free, not only will Sunagakure withdraw its troops immediately, but we will also be Konoha's ally forever!"

"What a shameless guy! He even has the nerve to say it's a free gift. How is this different from robbery?" A Konoha jonin couldn't stand it anymore and cursed.

Kono raised his eyebrows and said, "No! Then let's continue fighting and see whether you, Konoha, can outlast us, Sand Village."

"Also, don't forget that you, Konoha, attacked our camp last night. I was kind enough to let them go back. Don't be ungrateful!"

"Hokage-sama, don't agree to him. If you can't win, you'll lose everything!"

"No one can expect this to be easy. Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure are ready to make a move. Let's see who loses first."

……

Neither side would give in and both vowed to fight to the death!

The veins on Sarutobi's forehead were throbbing. He didn't expect that the conditions from Sunagakure were so harsh. It was simply exorbitant!

You know, the fiscal revenue that the Daimyofu gives to Konoha every year is only 150 billion taels, and there are too many things to spend on it, including the administrative department, the Anbu, the medical department, the education department, the interrogation department, the salaries of some ninjas, and scientific research funds...

Although he could earn a lot of money through tasks and commissions from the village, these were all useful and could not be given just because he wanted.

After a long silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Lord Kazekage, how about this? We can fight and talk at the same time."

"Oh! What do you mean, fighting and talking at the same time?" Kono became interested.

"If Sunagakure wants to take the funds, it depends on whether you have the strength to do so. The two of us Kage won't take action, and it will all depend on ninja fighting. Whoever wins more will take the initiative in the negotiations!"

"Hmm~" Kazekage Kono was in deep thought. Expanding the war would not be good for Sunagakure. On the first day, they successfully attacked Konoha with the tactics of surprise attack, but Kono did not want to fall into the quagmire of Konoha. He could not bear too much loss. He needed to weigh the pros and cons carefully!

After thinking for a long time and communicating with his subordinates, Kazekage Kono finally agreed to Sarutobi's plan.

They did not take action and allowed the ninjas from each village to fight. Whoever won more would take the initiative.

The next week was spent fighting between the ninjas of the two villages. In the first two days, under the leadership of the One-tail Jinchuriki Bonfuku, Sunagakure took the initiative. However, when Hatake Sakumo and Orochimaru's troops, as well as Chiyo and others from Sunagakure joined the battlefield, the situation became evenly matched.

During this period, the Uchiha elders were wiped out and Konoha's Kato Dan died in the battle. It is worth mentioning that Dan and Tsunade did not become lovers. With Jiraiya around him all day long, he had no chance!

Naturally, Tsunade was not sad about Kato Dan's death, but just helped him raise his young niece - Shizune!

Chiyo was also unable to fight against Hatake Sakumo, and instead fought against Tsunade. As an expert in poison, Chiyo used poison many times in the fight against Konoha.

However, Tsunade, who was also a medical ninja, was slightly better. She broke Chiyo's poison and saved many Konoha ninjas.

A week later, the negotiations between Sunagakure and Konoha were coming to an end. The two villages could no longer defeat each other and could no longer make unnecessary sacrifices.

In the end, Konoha donated 500 billion ryo to Sunagakure for free. Because they couldn't come up with so much money at once, Sunagakure provided two plans, one was to pay off the debt with materials, and the other was to pay in installments!

The Sand Village took away materials worth 250 billion taels, and the rest must be paid within five years!

I heard that Danzo didn't make any comment after hearing about this. Maybe he was still feeling the shock!

……

After Sand Village returned to the village, they received a report from intelligence personnel about the "troop mobilization of Iwagakure and Kumogakure."

Both parties are very glad that they did not expand the scale, otherwise they would have taken advantage of it!

Scorpion family.

"Mother-in-law, many people have returned, why haven't my parents come back yet?" Scorpion asked in a delicate voice.

Chiyo hugged Scorpion distressedly and said, "They went to carry out a secret mission in the village. It will take a long time for them to come back."

"Grandma is going to teach you something fun. Look, this is a chakra line. If you pull your finger, it will move. Look, isn't it fun?"

In order to divert Scorpion's longing for his parents, Chiyo taught Scorpion puppetry, but she didn't know that this would lead him down a path of no return!

"Fun, fun!" Scorpion clapped his hands and cheered.

In the lonely night, only the cold puppet accompanied Scorpion, but the longing for his parents grew wildly in his mind!
