In the conference room of the Hokage House in Konoha Village, the Konoha Advisory Group, representatives of various ninja clans, and elite ninja gathered together. Jiraiya, dressed as the fifth generation Hokage Haori, sits at the head of the conference table, and behind him there is a huge map of the ninja world.

This meeting, unlike in the past, the expressions of the participants were solemn, and the atmosphere was very depressing. In front of each representative was a copy of the "Joint Announcement of the Four Great Ninja Villages", and just one day ago, Konoha Village received an official letter from the messengers of Sha Yin, Cloud Yin, Iwa, and Mist Yin at the same time, and the content of the official letter was surprisingly consistent.

This announcement stated that the commercial expansion of Konoha Village for more than a year has seriously damaged the interests of the five ninja countries, and the daimyo of the five countries entrusted the four ninja villages to jointly request Konoha that Konoha Village must pay four-fifths of the investment profits of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce in the future as customs duties to make up for the losses of the major ninja countries.

At the end of the announcement, the wording was quite drastic, declaring that if Konoha did not officially reply within ten days, the four major ninja villages would take extreme action.

The Sand Hidden Pillar Force was robbed in Konoha and inexplicably became a traitor and joined the youth team established by Naruto, and it is difficult to judge the nature of this matter, and it is impossible to say whether it should be blamed on Konoha or has nothing to do with Konoha.

As a result, the negotiations between Konoha and Sha Yin reached an impasse, and Konoha continued to detain the Sand Hidden elite, and Sand Yin also stubbornly refused to sign a contract with Konoha.

The negotiator of the sand hide, Ebizo, was stalling for time, waiting until the four major ninja villages were ready for war and issued an ultimatum to Konoha.

His wishful thinking is actually that if Konoha fights, he will undoubtedly fail miserably, and then Sha Yin will become the victor, and the failure of the middle ninja exam can be erased together, and he can also ask Konoha for a large amount of war reparations.

If Konoha agreed to the conditions of the coercion of the four ninja villages, the unequal treaty would naturally not have to be signed.

Jiraiya's face was solemn, changing his habit of smiling all over his face, his face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, this announcement is undoubtedly the union of the four major ninja villages to extort money from us with the threat of war. According to the information sent back by the ninjas of the shadows, the four major ninja villages, including Sand Hidden Village, have begun to gather war supplies and recall all the ninjas who went out to do tasks, which is a harbinger of gathering ninja troops. ”

Speaking of this, Jiraiya paused and said, "The situation is very critical, so how should we deal with it?" ”

Mito Menyan sighed and said, "The four major ninja villages have been planning for a long time, and they have been preparing for a long time, and we have given us a ten-day response period because we can complete the assembly of the ninja army within ten days and march towards Konoha." And we've been busy negotiating with Sha Yin, and now that we think about it, Ebizo is diverting our attention, and this old fox has succeeded in his trick! ”

Zhuan Xiaochun also said helplessly: "Ten days, we can't complete the war preparations at all, moreover, our opponent is the four major ninja village coalition army, roughly estimated that the enemy army has thirty or forty thousand soldiers, we hastily assembled the ninja army, even if we mobilize the lower ninja who has just graduated from the ninja school, at most we can only form a ninja army of five thousand people, and the gap in military strength compared with the enemy is too big." ”

Jiraiya's face became more and more gloomy, and he frowned: "Two advisors, what do you mean by that?" Please speak up! ”

Koharu and Mito Menyan glanced at each other, the latter nodded slowly at her, and she whispered, "I suggest...... Let's negotiate with the four ninja villages, the tax ratio of 80% of the income is too high, if the four ninja villages agree to reduce the proportion......"

Jiraiya gritted his teeth, sighed deeply, and muttered, "I really regret not believing Naruto in the first place......"

Koharu heard Jiraiya's self-talk, and reprimanded angrily, "Jiraiya, as a Hokage, how can you say such a thing?" Not to mention that Naruto is already a traitor now, how much harm has been done to Konoha by robbing my Airo, which has seriously affected the negotiation process between Konoha and Sagakure, at the beginning, he was a shinobi but he couldn't put himself in the right position, and quietly preached war behind his back, which is not in accordance with the rules in itself, even if it is fulfilled by coincidence now, it can't prove that he is right! ”

Zhuan Koharu pursed his lips and said: "If it weren't for Naruto's defection, it is likely that Sand Yin would have been in the alliance with Konoha a long time ago, and the remaining three ninja villages may not have the courage to start a war with the Sand Alliance, and when this crisis passes, it is really time to discuss with several other major ninja villages to join forces to solve the evil organization established by Naruto in the country of Tian, and the ninja dares to coerce the lord, which is really a big rebellion!" ”

Jiraiya's face was black and about to drip water, and he looked at Zhuan Xiaochun with a sneer, and he was annoyed with these self-proclaimed smart and old consultants.

Without waiting for Zilai to speak, Tuan Zang took the lead in objecting: "A bunch of nonsense, showing weakness to the enemy, do you expect to win any favorable conditions at the negotiation table?" Even if you talk about a few percentage points, what's the point, we Konoha people work hard, but we want to share the profits to the entire ninja world in vain, it's too deceitful, I think, whether you are ready or not, we should fight back, they threaten us with war, we will respond with war, fight first! ”

Zilai was also quite surprised, but he didn't expect that a member of the advisory group he hated would actually start talking to people.

However, Danzo's next words revealed his scheming: "It may be too late to form a ninja army, but Jiraiya has signed a contract with the toad of Myoki Mountain, and he can psychically create a giant toad to help in the battle, I suggest that Hokage-sama lead the elite team to the battlefield in person, summon the toad to attack the enemy ninja army, try to kill and injure the enemy's living force, and buy time for Konoha to form a ninja army!" In this way, we are facing a less dire situation. ”

I don't know what Tuan Zang has in mind, obviously fooling Zilai is also taking a huge risk, summoning a psychic toad with the power of one person to drag the enemy army, and one person facing the four major ninja village coalition forces, even if you can summon the big toad of Miaomu Mountain, the enemy army is not without a strong author, one shadow faces the siege of the four shadows, and it is also more auspicious to go.

To put it bluntly, it is to let the new Hokage Jiraiya "take responsibility" and resolutely sacrifice for Konoha Village, Jiraiya is dead, and Tuanzang can sit back and reap the profits, succeed the wartime Hokage as the leader of the hawks, and lead the Konoha ninja army to fight back.

Jiraiya is also entangled in his heart, although Tuan Zang's proposal is very tricky, but only he is the one, and it is a good strategy for Konoha to get through the difficulties.

If you agree to negotiate without firing a shot, the share of customs duties paid will definitely not be negotiated, and in the end, Konoha is forced to accept the bitter fruit of a hard year of making a wedding dress for someone else.

Even if you have to pay tariffs to the five ninja countries, you have to fight a battle before talking, and only by showing Konoha's determination to defend its own interests, beating the alliance of the four ninja villages hurt, and negotiating after the war, can you negotiate a mutually acceptable result.

But...... The price is that Jiraiya, who has only been sitting on the position of Hokage for a long time, has to sacrifice his life for Konoha Village heroically like previous generations of Hokage.

Jiraiya suddenly had a sense of absurdity, feeling that the position of the Konoha Hokage seemed to have a curse, and once Konoha Village encountered a huge crisis, he would have to die a Hokage to survive safely.
