Vol 4 Chapter 173: Sacrifice to Naruto for safety

In the meeting room of the Hokage House in Konoha Village, Konoha advisory group, representatives of various ninja tribes, and elite Shangnin gathered together. Jiraiya also wears the fifth generation of Hokage Haori, sitting at the chief of the conference table, behind him is a huge map of Ninja.
This meeting was different from the past. The expressions of the people were solemn and the atmosphere was very depressing. A copy of the "Four Great Ninja Village Joint Announcement" was placed in front of each representative. Just one day ago, Konoha Village also received official letters from Shayin, Yunyin, Yanyin, and Misty Envoys. The content of the official letter is surprisingly consistent.
This announcement stated that the commercial expansion of Konoha Village over the past year has seriously damaged the interests of the five great Ninja countries. The five great names entrusted the four great Ninja villages to jointly request Konoha, and Konoha must pay five Four-quarters of the investment profits of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce are used as customs duties paid in accordance with the law to make up for the losses of the great Ninja countries.
At the end of the announcement, the wording was quite fierce, claiming that if Konoha does not formally reply within ten days, the Big Four Ninja Villages will take extreme actions.
Shayinjin Zhuli was robbed in Konoha, and he became a betrayer inexplicably. He joined the youth team established by Naruto. It is difficult to judge the nature of the incident. It is not clear whether the blame should be on Konoha or Konoha. Irrelevant.
Therefore, the negotiation between Konoha and Sain came to a stalemate. Konoha continued to detain the elite of Sain, and Sain also insisted on not signing with Konoha.
Shayin negotiator Eezang was delaying time and waited until the four Ninja villages were ready for war and issued an ultimatum to Konoha.
His wishful thinking was that if Konoha challenged, he would undoubtedly lose miserably. At that time, Shayak would become the winner, and the failure of the Zhongnin exam could be wiped out, and he could also ask Konoha for a large war indemnity.
If Konoha agrees to the intimidating conditions of the Four Ninja Villages, the unequal treaty will naturally not have to be signed.
Jiraiya looked dignified, changed from the habit of laughing all over his face, and said solemnly: "Everyone, this announcement is undoubtedly the four major ninja villages uniting and blackmailing us for money under the threat of war. Anbu Ninja sends back. According to the intelligence report, the four major ninja villages, including Shayin Village, have begun gathering war preparations and recalling all ninjas who went out to do missions. This is a precursor to the assembly of the ninja army."
Speaking of this, Ji Lai paused and said, "The situation is already very critical, so how should we respond?"
Menyan Mito sighed and said: "The Four Ninja Villages have been planning for a long time, and they have been preparing for a long time. The ten-day response period is given to us because the assembly of the Ninja army can be completed within ten days, and we will drive towards Konoha. . And we have been busy negotiating with Shayin. Now, when we think about it carefully, Eilao Zang is diverting our attention. This old fox trick has succeeded!"
After turning to bed, Xiaochun also said helplessly: "In ten days, we could not complete the preparations for war. Moreover, our opponent is the coalition forces of the Four Ninja Villages. It is roughly estimated that the enemy has 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers. We hurriedly assembled the Ninja army, even if we mobilized Xiaren, who just graduated from the ninja school, can only form a ninja army of 5,000 people at most, which is far from the enemy's military strength."
Jilaiya's face grew gloomy and frowned, "Two consultants, what do you mean by that? Please speak up!"
Turning to bed, Koharu and Mito Menyan looked at each other, the latter nodded slowly at her, and she whispered, "I suggest...it is better to negotiate with the four major Shinobu villages, the tax ratio of 80% of the income It’s too high. If the four Ninja villages agree to reduce the ratio..."
Jilai gritted his teeth, hissed deeply, and muttered, "I really regret not trusting Naruto..."
Turning to bed, Xiaochun heard Jilaiya's self-talk, and annoyed, "Jilaiya, how can you say this as Hokage? Not to mention that Naruto is already a betrayal and robbed. Gaara caused much harm to Konoha and seriously affected the negotiation process between Konoha and Sagyun. At the beginning, he tolerated but couldn't put himself in the right position. He quietly preached the war, and he did not comply with the rules, even if it happened by coincidence. It can’t prove that he is right!"
Turning to bed, Koharu curled his lips and said, "If there was no such thing as Naruto defecting, Sain would probably have already been in alliance with Konoha. The remaining three Ninja villages might not have the guts to fight with the Kosha alliance. After the second crisis, I should have discussed with several other big Ninja villages to jointly solve the evil organization Naruto established in Tanokuni. The ninja dared to threaten the lord, what a rebellious thing!"
Jilaiya was about to drip out of the water, with a sneer, looking towards Zhuan Xiaochun, she was really annoyed by these clever and old consultants.
Before Jiraiya could speak, Danzo was the first to oppose: "Will you be bullshit, show your enemy's weakness and expect to get some good terms at the negotiating table? Even if you talk about a few percentage points, what's the point? We Konoha People work hard, but they want to distribute the profits to the entire Ninja world for nothing. It’s too deceptive. I think that no matter if you are not ready, you should fight back. They threaten us with war, and we respond with war. Let's talk about it!"
Jilai was also quite surprised. He didn't expect that a member of the advisory group he hated would actually speak human words.
However, Danzo’s next words revealed his scheming:
It may be too late to form the Ninja Army, but Jiraiya has signed a contract with the toad of Miaomu Mountain, and can channel out giant toads to help fight. I suggest that Lord Naruto leads the elite team. Go to the battlefield, summon toads to attack the enemy's Ninja Army, try to kill the enemy's vitality, and buy time for Konoha to form the Ninja Army! In this way, the situation we face will not be so bad."
Don’t you know what Danzo’s plan is, obviously it’s fooling Jilaida to take a huge risk, summoning the psychic toad to hold the enemy with one person, and facing the allied forces of the four ninja villages, even if he can summon Miaomu Mountain The big toad, the enemy is not without the author of the strong, Yiying faces the siege of the four shadows, and it will be more unfortunate.
To put it bluntly, it is to let the newly recruited Hokage Jiraiya "take responsibility" and sacrifice for the village of Konoha. If Jiraiya is dead, Danzo can reap the profits and succeed the wartime Hokage as the leader of the hawks. He led the Konoha Ninja Army to counterattack.
Jiraiya was also entangled in his heart. Although Danzo's proposal was very deceptive, but he was the only one who was deceived. For Konoha, it was a good way to tide over the difficulties.
If you agree to negotiate without firing a shot, the share of customs duties will definitely not be negotiated. In the end, Konoha is forced to accept the bitter fruit of a hard year but making wedding clothes for others.
Even if you have to pay tariffs to the five Ninja countries, you have to fight a battle before talking. Only when Konoha demonstrates his determination to defend his own interests and hurts the four Ninja village forces, and after the war, can we negotiate a mutual agreement. Acceptable results.
But... the price was that Jiraiya, who had only been in the position of Hokage for a short time, had to die for the Konoha Village like the previous generations of Hokage.
Jiraiya also suddenly had a sense of absurdity. He felt that the position of Konoha and Hokage seemed to be cursed. Once Konoha village encounters a huge crisis, it must die a Hokage to survive.
