"So you're going to send money to Konoha?"

Menyan sneered unceremoniously.

As a ninja who came from the era of the Thousand Hands Pillars, he is like the old English after World War II, bathed in the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets, but can only watch the new empire rise on his corpse.

Although Konoha is not so miserable, it is still the first ninja village in the ninja world, but it is no longer the co-master of the ninja world like when Tsuruma was alive, and other ninja villages are not as afraid of Konoha as they were then.

The huge gap made it unacceptable to an old man like Menyan Xiaochun, so that the relationship with the originally close ape Fei Ri Slash became more and more alienated, and instead had a close connection with the hawkish Tuanzang.

At this time, seeing a spy from the Sand Hidden Village sitting in the Hokage's office and drinking tea in a dignified manner, they would be in a good mood.

Whether this hostility is only directed at Hoshino Maki may be known only to them.

"Of course!"

Hoshino Mu looked like this, but it made Menyan speechless for a while.

"If the cake isn't big enough, we'll make it bigger. Apart from the Land of Fire, the richest country is the Land of Thunder, as long as we..."

"Enough!"

Sarutobi Hichi, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly interrupted Hoshino Mu's words, his eyes looked at Hoshino Mu like a sharp sword, as if he had seen everything, and said in a somewhat hoarse smoked voice: "I know what you are paying attention to, Konoha will definitely not take the initiative to carry out any behavior that may damage the relationship between the two countries." Boy, I know you're a little clever, but don't take anyone else for idiots, especially Konoha ninjas. ”

Hoshino Mu's eyes lowered, as if talking to himself: "I'm curious, Yunyin Village has been expanding its force over the years, constantly plundering ninja secret techniques from other villages, who is their imaginary enemy?" Is it the Fog Hidden Village trapped in the Blood Mist, the Sand Hidden Village in the desert, or the Rock Hidden Village across the vast sea? ”

"If Yun Shinobi invades the country of Tian or the country of Yu, what will Konoha do, will he help or not? If you don't help, is Konoha ready to be neighbors with the Land of Thunder? ”

"To be honest, I don't have confidence in Konoha, especially seeing the current situation of Konoha. The ninjas outside are in a hurry, but Konoha is like a paradise, without a sense of crisis, I'm really afraid that Yun Shinobi will turn around and attack Sand Hide after destroying Konoha..."

Hmmm——!

A kunai stabbed into the coffee table in front of Hoshino Maki, interrupting his words.

Although the kunai's handle shook slightly, Hoshino Mu still clearly saw the four big characters of 'Sword of Forbearance'.

"Konoha will not be destroyed."

The voice is not loud, but it is resolute.

Hoshino Maki's pupils shrank suddenly, just now, he didn't see the other party's movements clearly, and when he noticed, the other party was still with his arms around his chest, as if he hadn't done anything.

Is this the fourth generation Hokage yellow flash?

Hoshino Mu lowered his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Mizumon's performance made Sarutobi slash out with a vicious breath, he laughed twice, and said: "In this village, there are many excellent ninjas who are willing to sacrifice everything for the village, and they can overthrow any enemy who feels provocative to Konoha under the light of the will of fire, and the history of Konoha will continue, do you understand?" Hoshino Maki, this is the essence of Konoha. ”

Hoshino Mu didn't reply immediately, but silently pulled out the sword of ninja in front of him, looked at it carefully, and after a long time, he said softly: "I don't deny the excellence of Konoha ninjas, but excellent people often need more space and resources, how can Hokage-sama distribute it to everyone's satisfaction?" ”

"After all... There's only one Hokage's position~"

The air seemed to freeze as if it were frozen with Hoshino's words.

The three generations are old, and the election of the fourth generation is a matter of the past few years, which is well known within Konoha.

But Jiraiya and Tsunade both avoid the position of the Hokage like a snake and scorpion, and Orochimaru is interested, but Sarutobi is more fond of Jiraiya's apprentice Bo Feng Shuimen.

However, just the ape flying sun is not enough to make Bo Feng Shuimen have no suspense to succeed, if it is possible, who doesn't want to fight for the throne of the Hokage?

Except for the pig deer butterfly, which is deeply bound to the Ape Fei family, the patriarchs of other families, and the elite Shangnin, who has good strength, everyone wants to try, and if they succeed, they will be able to reach the sky in one step!

Ape Fei's gaze swept over Xiao Chunmenyan, who bowed his head and was silent, and Tuan Zang, who was expressionless, sighed silently in his heart.

Do even the people of Shayin Village know about it?

Ape Fei settled down, and the internal affairs of the village could be discussed later, and the interference from the outside world was eliminated first.

"Hoshino Mu, you've been in Konoha for a long time, so let's go back tomorrow."

"Okay, Hokage-sama, thank you for taking care of me."

Hoshino Mu didn't say much, he got up suddenly, bowed slowly to the three generations, and then opened the door, and the ninja of the Inuzuka family was already waiting outside the door.

There were only a few of them left in the room, and Koharu suddenly spoke, "Ape Fei, I think we can listen to him." ”

"Koharu, I know what you want to say, but the land under our feet is the best among all ninja villages, our ninjas are full of geniuses, although there is some friction among the major families, they can maintain restraint, everything is developing in a good direction, we don't need to work as hard as they do, as long as we hold this land, the children in the village can have a bright and stable future."

"Those who feel that life is not good enough let them go to the surrounding ninja villages and have a look, and they will know what happiness is."

"Koharu, Menyan, and Tuanzang, we have all experienced two ninja wars, and once a war starts, anything is possible, and the village handed over to us by Lord Kazuma must not be ruined by us."

"Got it?"

Sarutobi's words blocked Koharu's mouth like a machine gun, and Koharu's face was ugly, but he didn't say anything, just got up and said goodbye.

Looking at the backs of the three partners and right-hand men who had been close to each other in the past and present, but were extremely unfamiliar at the moment, Ape Fei sighed softly.

"Watergate, why do you think they don't understand my good intentions?"

"I've heard.." Bo Feng Shuimen hesitated for a moment and continued: "I heard that Elder Koharu's grandson lost a lot of money in the casino, and a batch of important goods from Elder Menyan's family was staked in the Land of Thunder..."

Ape Fei was silent for a moment, but said nothing.

————

The moon is benevolent, and will not be stingy with moonlight because of the poverty of Shayin Village, nor will it be as bright as day because Konoha is rich.

Tonight, dark clouds are thick.

The base of the root also disappeared into the darkness at this time, just as he had intended, as the shadow of Konoha and plunged deep into the darkness.

There was only one hut lit with faint candles, and there was no extravagant decoration in it, no different from a normal ninja's house, who would have thought that this was where the master of the root, Danzo, worked.

There was only one person in the room, Tuan Zang, who looked at the candle flame quietly, motionless like a stone Buddha.

"My lord, someone brought it."

The door was pushed open, and Hoshino Mu smiled and saluted Danzo.

"Good evening... Hokage-sama. ”
