"Next, everyone can start voting."

At the first upper ninja meeting that restarted after the New Year, after analyzing the pros and cons of the project and the introduction of the plan, he opened his mouth and motioned to the many upper ninjas on the other side to vote.

This time the restarted upper ninja meeting, the list of participants has not been adjusted, although there are a few differences in the participants, but the ticket type composed of these ninjas will not change.

In other words, what was the type of vote last time, and what should it be this time, although there was no vote last time, but everyone knows that the project of recreating the Wood Escape Ninja is probably going to be aborted.

And after the announcement of the ape flying sun, all the shinobi in the conference room also set their eyes on Tsunade, as if waiting for Tsunade to object, they will follow one after another.

Kato looked at Tsunade with low eyebrows, there was unclear concern and pity in his eyes, and he wanted to raise his hand several times to make a statement against it, but when he thought of it, it was just a . Anyone who has nothing to do with it can only stop his own hand.

And under everyone's attention, Tsunade also slowly raised her head, although in the past few days, she and Tatsuma have been doing psychological work for her.

But at the moment of voting, Tsunade was still extremely angry and ashamed in his heart, using his grandfather's body in exchange for his own reputation and status in the future, which should not be what a granddaughter should do.

Kotsuma has already explained all kinds of possibilities for her, no matter what she chooses, her grandfather's body will be donated as research materials, even if Tsunade betrays the village

This was an idea that Tsunade had proposed, but it was instantly rejected by Tatsuma because she could not betray the village through "conventional" means.

Attack and kill the Hokage? will be beheaded by the ape flying sun to learn from master and apprentice. Shoot at a colleague? Has Tsunade shot at his colleagues less over the years? Unless Tsunade dares to actually kill his colleagues, it has no effect.

And to pass secrets to enemy villages? If Tsunade dares to do it, the village will dare to give secrets and channels for Tsunade to leak secrets, anyway, her identity is destined to make it impossible for the enemy village to trust her information.

The only possible option for rebellion against the village is to loudly announce that he has betrayed the village in front of the public, but this happens to give the village a more worry-free approach.

Because the village can use this as a reason to let another representative of the Thousand Hands ethnic group emerge from among the Thousand Hands who is qualified to represent the Thousand Hands and will agree to the village's proposal.

And doing so will make Senju's prestige and prestige plummet, and the village and villagers may still have objections, but if Tsunade does this, then everyone will agree with the village to use the remains between the Senju pillars as research materials.

As Tatsuma said, this is a game that Tsunade cannot "win", and only by supporting it can he bring more benefits to himself while the result remains the same.

Looking at his teacher, Tsunade took a deep breath and said, "I agree." ”

The words landed, and the conference room was silent, and everyone's inquiring eyes turned into surprise in an instant, and Tsunade's answer was something that no one expected.

There are even some ninjas who have turned their attention to Uchiha's Kamishinobi and Sunset True Red who are good at using illusions, although they didn't say it, but their performance was faintly said

"Did you control Tsunade?!"

And when Sarutobi heard Tsunade's support for the proposal, his emotions were also very complicated, with a sense of relief and an inexplicable sense of guilt.

But soon, Sarutobi adjusted his emotions and said before the other ninjas came back to their senses: "Okay, worthy of being the granddaughter of the first generation of Lord Me, Tsunade, you really know the Will of Fire thoroughly.

Where the leaves fly, the fire grows endlessly. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and allow the new leaves to sprout. Even if it has withered and fallen off, it will provide nutrients for new branches and leaves.

If the first daime-sama learns of your decision at this moment, I think I will be extremely pleased, Tsunade, thank you for taking righteousness, and willing to give up your personal honor and disgrace for the sake of the village, and realize the future of the village.

The old man is here, on behalf of Konoha, to say for you and for the first Hokage-sama. Thank. ”

Saying that, Sarutobi slashed regardless of his identity, stood up, and bowed deeply to Tsunade, which is. He, the teacher, owes his disciples, and as a junior, he owes Konoha martyrs.

Looking at the teacher who was saying beautiful words, the other hand under Tsunade's desk was clenched so that his knuckles were white, but he still said in a stiff tone, almost gritting his teeth:

"No, Sandaime, I just made the choice that every Konoha person would make."

Hearing that Tsunade didn't call himself a teacher, and even a Hokage refused to call him, Sarutobi Slash, who bowed and lowered his head, also showed a bitter look on his face, but he quickly regained his smile and straightened up.

The two sang and harmonized, although the cooperation was not very good, but all the Konoha Shinobi in the conference room looked at each other and knew. It's not okay to disagree.

After all, if you don't agree, you're not a Konoha person.

The next vote went very smoothly, no one voted against, only Uchiha abstained, Uchiha's current patriarch, Uchiha Fugaku's father Uchiha Taku, looked at Tsunade, sighed inexplicably, shook his head and stopped talking.

Beside him, Uchiha Fugaku, who had been promoted to Shinobi after the war, looked at his father, and for some reason, he heard the sigh of regret and the death of the rabbit and the fox from his father's sigh.

When the voting results came out, Sarufei Ri Slash nodded, according to the normal process, he should have started discussing the next proposal, but Sarufei Sun Slash opened his mouth and said:

"Now that this bill has been passed, the old man proposes that Orochimaru serve as the lead researcher of this project, I don't know if you have any other candidates to recommend?"

Hearing Sarutobi's words, Tsunade, who had finally suppressed her anger, raised her head again, staring at her teacher in disbelief, and it was at this time that she finally understood.

Why did her teammates not come to the meeting twice in a row?

One thing, he was backstabbed by his teacher, disciple, and his teammates, and Tsunade at this moment felt confused and hesitant like never before.

"Bang!"

Tsunade suddenly stood up and walked towards the door, her sudden gaffe made everyone in the conference room stunned, Kato was stunned for a second, also stood up, and said:

"Hokage-sama, Tsunade should be feeling a little unwell, I'll go see her."

"As soon as possible."

Sarutobi waved his hand, and Kato immediately got up and chased in the direction where Tsunade had left.

The two walked out of the conference room, and Kato saw that Tsunade was just standing in the corridor outside the door, and Kato immediately closed the door of the conference room and looked at Tsunade not far away.

"Come out!"

Tsunade said suddenly, Kato had a puzzled look on his face, and pointed at himself, but Tsunade didn't look at him, and he didn't seem to be talking to him.

Just when Kato was puzzled, another figure suddenly appeared in the corridor, short and thin, wearing dark clothes, and Kato went through the dark members he knew in his mind, and none of them matched the number.

And soon, he saw the blue and white curly hair of this dark ninja, and he understood the identity of this dark ninja.

Tatsuma appeared, looked at Tsunade, and then at Kato Tsuna, who looked surprised not far away, and reached out to remove the Yaksha mask on his face that would unconsciously give people a funny feeling.

"Teacher."

Looking at Tatsuma, Tsunade couldn't help but ask angrily, "Orochimaru is the lead researcher of the project, do you know or don't you know about this matter?" ”

"Guessed."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"There's no need."

Maybe it's because he's still wearing a dark uniform, Tatsuma's answer is still unconsciously a little too concise, of course, maybe there's another reason, that is, a normal state of mind to talk to Tsunade, he will always be stupid and angry with Tsunade.

And when he gets angry, Tsunade gets angrier, and then he gets beaten up again.

Hearing Tatsuma's answer, Tsunade's anger was somewhat stagnant, and another emotion called puzzlement arose, and she instinctively asked, "Why?" ”

Because he is the best researcher, even if he doesn't participate now and the research fails in the future, the daimyo will ask why he doesn't let Orochimaru, the best researcher, lead the research.

Then the village will continue to invite Orochimaru-sama to lead this research project, and he also lacks the confidence to really refuse, he will eventually become the lead researcher, with his character, maybe fight for a good bargaining chip and join happily. ”

Tatsuma's answer made Tsunade nod instinctively again, it sounded like the wrong choice his teammates would make! How long has this kid known Orochimaru, how can he know more than himself?

But at this time, the anger in Tsunade's heart had disappeared a lot, and she even had a feeling of sympathy for Orochimaru, and asked, "Then what do you think is the bargaining chip for the village to let Orochimaru make a move?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Ma also frowned slightly, and couldn't help but start thinking, what kind of chips can impress Orochimaru, after thinking about it, Chen Ma said: "Maybe it's the research funds of other projects." ”

Tsunade saw that Tatsuma didn't know much either, so he didn't think much about it, and was about to go home and sulk by herself, after all, she had no money now, she couldn't go to a tavern or casino, and she wasn't there, so she couldn't let her beat up and relieve her anger.

But as soon as he turned his head, he saw the stunned Kato Tsunade, and when he saw this secret investigation of himself, I was afraid that he was a potential enemy who wanted to attack him, Tsunade's face suddenly fell, and he asked dissatisfiedly:

"You're eavesdropping on our conversation?!"

Hearing this, Kato was really embarrassed, after all, when Tsunade and Tatsuma were talking, he really didn't avoid it, strictly speaking, he was indeed eavesdropping.

"I'm sorry."

Kato generously admitted his mistake, and then said, "I invite you to the yakiniku restaurant, I recently found a restaurant with good grilled chicken and sake, and you should like it very much." ”

Tsunade narrowed his eyes and said with a sneer, "When I'm drunk, will you make it easier for you to attack me?" ”

Tsunade's naked words made Kato blush, and in line with the principle of honesty, he couldn't help but nod his head.

Seeing that this enemy hidden in the village was so bold, Tsunade's face darkened, but the unconvincing in his bones also surged up, and said, "Okay, then drink!" You're so bad anyway.

When I saw it, I got drunk first and you attacked me, or did you get drunk first and I attacked you! ”

"This"

Kato's face turned even redder, and Tatsuma slapped his head, feeling that both of them were helpless.
