Chapter 426
Chapter 426
"Only by ending the two-front war as soon as possible can we gain time for development and recuperation, and be able to deter the Rock Village and the Cloud Village in a better state."
A chaotic Konoha is definitely a big piece of fat in the eyes of the enemy.
Although Konoha, which has resolved other wars and is in a weak state, is still a piece of fat, it is not easy to eat this piece of fat.
Because this piece of fat will prick your mouth.
Maybe you don't eat the meat, but prick yourself with a mouthful of thorns.
"Lu Xin."
"Hokage-sama."
With his hands behind his back, the Third Hokage smiled slightly and asked:
"The people of the Nara clan are very smart, and you are the best among them.
I want to ask, if the Sand Village continues to pay war reparations to Konoha, how many years will it take to get all the money?"
The Sand Village is too poor.
There is no money and no supplies. Even if Konoha pursues it, the final result can only be to pay part of it every year.
And the time for compensation needs to be in years.
If it is a peaceful period, it will be fine. Konoha will recuperate and slowly collect the debt.
At present, Konoha is still fighting with the Mist Village, the Rock Village is ready to move, and the Cloud Village is watching. A new war may break out at any time.
In this case, war reparations are obviously not as real as the support of an ally and thousands of elite troops.
There is another issue to consider.
That is whether the Sand Village will be angry and refuse to negotiate and continue the war.
The Sand Village needs to exchange for Rasa. If Konoha's conditions are too harsh, Chiyo will definitely not accept it.
It is better to have a lack of successors than to have the development potential hollowed out. At worst, you can choose the right person to train.
Although Chiyo and Ebizo are old, they are not so old that they will die at any time.
They still have time to train new successors.
Once the war continues, the Sand Village and Konoha will fight to the death, and Konoha will be in greater danger at that time
The fangs of the Rock Village and the Cloud Village may be exposed at any time.
"I'm afraid it will take a long time."
Nara Shikashin was too lazy to even calculate this account. In short, it will take a very long time.
"If the war continues, how much will Konoha have to pay to completely defeat the Sand Village?"
"........"
Nara Shikashin was completely speechless.
Chiyo is not a simple old woman!
The knife is stuck in Konoha's soft spot. Either everyone agrees to put down the blade or continue to fight. Isn't the choice in your hands?
You choose.
At worst, the Sand Village will be in a mess. You Konoha doesn't have the strength to flatten the Sand Village, so I will be in a mess.
Anyway, other ninja villages will not allow Konoha to flatten the Sand Village, because that will break the balance of the ninja world.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who are wearing shoes. Once the Sand Village really chooses to give up, Konoha will be the only one who will be in trouble.
Back to the camp, the Third Hokage rested at the headquarters.
Nara Shikashin, an old senior who never violated the rules, brought two bottles of wine from nowhere and went to Hatake Sakumo.
"Senior, are you okay?"
Hatake Sakumo asked carefully. He felt that something was wrong with Nara Shikashin.
This senior is not just strict. He has never done anything out of the ordinary for decades, and he will not allow others to do it.
Simply put, he can't tolerate sand in his eyes, unless the sand is too hard and he can't rub it.
At this time, Nara Shikashin brought a few bottles of wine and came to Hatake Sakumo to drink. This is very wrong! !
Nara Shikashin snorted:
"What can I do? I just want to have a drink with someone. It's a pity that Qianyue ran away. I can only find you."
Hatake Sakumo: "........"
Is it possible that I am just a substitute? Then I will leave?
Without any extra words, Nara Shikashin twisted the bottle and drank two sips, and handed the bottle to Hatake Sakumo.
Hatake Sakumo opened his mouth, but his refusal was blocked by Nara Shikashin's angry and helpless eyes. He could only drink with him silently.
"Is it because of the negotiation?"
After exhaling heavily, Nara Shikashin nodded vigorously:
"Well, Konoha's situation is not very good. The conditions proposed by the Sand Village are very harsh. If nothing unexpected happens, the Hokage will agree."
It is not information that needs to be concealed. Hatake Sakumo is not an ordinary person. When everything is settled, everyone will know.
Nara Shikashin did not choose to keep it secret and told Hatake Sakumo directly.
Oh my god........
Hatake Sakumo's eyes widened, and he said thankfully:
"Fortunately I didn't go with them, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to resist drawing my sword."
How dare you say that!
You should have gone, but it turned out to be my fault!!!
Nara Shikako glared at Hatake Sakumo viciously.
Hatake Sakumo laughed and quickly stopped the topic.
"Senior, that's enough. Don't get drunk. Some things are not decided by you and me. It's a pity that Qianyue ran away. If he were here, there might be more hope for change."
"He won't."
Nara Shikashin shook his head:
"This kid wants to pick up a knife and chop people. If there is no Tsunade, the problem will be more serious. Don't expect him to deal with these troubles."
"Hahaha, it seems that senior knows Qianyue very well."
"Nonsense, my son and he are classmates, how can I not know more?"
"But you are right, don't drink alcohol, it's troublesome to get drunk."
"........"
It's you who wants to drink, I risk my life to accompany a gentleman, but in the end you are still afraid of trouble! !
Senior, what you said is not kind!
The negotiations fell into a brief pause. Qianyue, who was in Konoha, didn't know all this. He was busy teaching his little apprentice.
"If you are too slow, the enemy will not give you any chance."
"You are not strong enough. What you need to draw your sword is instantaneous burst of power and speed."
He easily resolved Kakashi's attacks again and again, and used the back of the sword to leave a small punishment on him. After each attack, Qianyue would correct Kakashi's shortcomings.
Kakashi worked very hard, even if his body was beaten with bruises, his hands were trembling slightly, and he could hardly hold the handle of the sword, he never gave up.
This perseverance was deeply loved by Qianyue.
Regardless of talent, perseverance is very important.
No matter how talented a person is, if he does not have strong perseverance and cannot persist in the tiredness and hardship of training and practice, it is useless to have strong talent.
Even if Qianyue used external plug-ins, he never relaxed his training and practice.
Although he usually likes to eat salted fish, likes to watch beautiful girls to pass the time, and likes to toss delicious food to soothe his internal organs.
Easily deflecting the ninja sword, the ninja sword flew out of Kakashi's hand out of control, Qianyue put away the Kusanagi sword:
"Today's training ends here, you go to the hospital for treatment first."
A tall building is built from the ground up, even if Kakashi already has the strength of a normal Genin, Qianyue did not teach him anything complicated, still just the basics of swordsmanship.
As for ninjutsu, Qianyue would not force Kakashi to know everything and master everything, it would be better to ensure that he specializes in one thing.
