Konoha: Who says that hunters can't play in the ninja world?

"If the Third Generation were still alive, he wouldn't allow you to do this." Utatane Koharu missed the Third Generation infinitely, because the Third Generation had always been kind to them and would also take their face into consideration. After a few rounds of arguing, they would reach a consensus of mutual compromise. But Tsunade's attitude was really unbearable for him, a man in his 50s. Not only was he disrespectful, but he was also tit-for-tat.

As they are both women, she cannot stand Tsunade's dominance as she is also a woman.

"If the third generation were here, I don't think he would object to me doing this." The three generations are all dead. Who wouldn't want to use a dead person as a banner?

"You, Menen, Danzo, are you just going to watch?" Utane Koharu wanted to teach Tsunade a lesson, but he was old and weak and didn't have the strength. Even in terms of power, he was inferior to Tsunade, the real Hokage. The most correct thing to do was to unite with the other two elders and use their power to suppress them.

"..." Mizuto Menyan was speechless. How could this old friend always fail to see the situation clearly? It was obvious that Tsunade didn't want to play with us. At this time, we have to beg her. You are still trying to be strong. Are you afraid that she will abandon you?

"Tsunade, the Ministry of Agriculture has become increasingly large, which has seriously affected the operation of the village departments. In addition, the crackdown you initiated has caused complaints from various departments in the village. If this continues, the village will really be in chaos." Mito Kado En's words were soft but firm. No matter how tough Tsunade is, she can't be tough on her fellow villagers, right? He couldn't make up his mind about Tsunade's thoughts, but at this time, he couldn't retreat.

"All orders issued by the Hokage's office must be fair, just and open. If anyone is dissatisfied, a jonin trial can be initiated." This is a high-sounding statement that cannot be refuted.

Mitomon En was defeated.

“Danzo…?” Among the three elders, only Danzo remained silent.

"The tradition of Konoha has always been to support each other with the Fire Nation. The Daimyo provides Konoha with military funds, and Konoha provides military support to the Fire Nation. But now with the rise of the Ministry of Agriculture, do you want to leave the Daimyo aside?" Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Konoha and the Daimyo restrict each other and rely on each other, and Tsunade's Ministry of Agriculture is not only self-sufficient, but also has output. So Konoha's reliance on the Daimyo's military funds is dispensable.

In other words, Konoha is fully capable of leaving the Land of Fire and playing on its own, and the Daimyo has lost his restrictions on Konoha. This is absolutely impossible for a Daimyo of a country to allow, and no one wants a force that they cannot control to appear in their own home.

"Good argument, good angle." The two old men were secretly delighted. When it came to the Fire Nation, even the powerful first generation chose to compromise and accepted the one country, one village system. Tsunade, are you stronger than your grandfather?

"That is a problem that I, the Hokage, have to solve. The three elders don't have to worry about it." He deliberately emphasized the tone of "I", making the three people look extremely embarrassed.

"Okay, I hope that Lord Hokage can really solve this problem?" Danzo didn't plan to continue to talk. Pure verbal battles would not make Tsunade surrender. Only by forcefully destroying Tsunade's reliance could Tsunade be restrained. What did Tsunade rely on? The Ministry of Agriculture. Since Tsunade used justice to suppress other departments of Konoha, then he, Danzo, could also find someone with greater power to suppress him, Tsunade.

The Daimyo will not let Konoha out of his control, this is a foregone conclusion. He doesn't need to talk to Tsunade here. He just needs to report this matter to the Daimyo, and then he will counter Tsunade's moves and that will be enough to give her a hard time.

As long as Tsunade doesn't fall out with the Daimyo, the Ministry of Agriculture will definitely fall into Konoha's hands. Hehe, driven by interests, the Ministry of Agriculture will soon be divided up. As for the situation where Tsunade falls out with the Daimyo, Danzo doesn't even think about it, because it's impossible.

No ninja village dared to break off relations with the daimyo.

"Danzo, is this your plan?" Tsunade would not, nor did she dare to tear her face with the daimyo. Perhaps in the eyes of these so-called ninja masters, the daimyo was just an ordinary person who enjoyed the status of aristocracy. It was fine for ordinary ninjas to think so, but Tsunade could not think so. If a ninja village lost the support of the daimyo, it would be doomed to fail.

Even though a country needs a ninja village as a military force, in fact, a ninja village is a pure military organization. Without output, there will be no gain. Then this military organization is a castle in the air. Just imagine, if the ninjas are not well fed, how much combat effectiveness can they still have? And how many ninjas are willing to work for the ninja village?

The Daimyo and the Hokage depend on each other and restrict each other. They are at each other's throats, worrying about the other's growing strength, but they can't really kill each other and leave themselves without support.

"I don't accept it. Why does Tsunade monopolize the Ministry of Agriculture? Whether it's ninjas or farmland, they are all public property of the village and cannot become private property of others. This is an act of encroaching on the interests of the ninja village and is unforgivable." Seeing that Danzo said a few words without any pain, Koharu Utatane shut up again. His old face was completely frozen, like a mad dog, desperately venting his emotions.

"You, Tsunade, are the Hokage, and you should maintain fairness and justice in the village. How can you occupy the village's property? You are abusing the power for personal gain. Tsunade, you don't deserve to be the fifth Hokage." Utatane Koharu became more and more eloquent as she spoke, her mind completely opened up, she used moral kidnapping and set traps, attributing everything Tsunade did to the fact that Tsunade was not upright and was not worthy of being Hokage.

"Elder Utane Koharu, please watch your words." Jiraiya's face was gloomy and his tone was very unhappy. If it was just a verbal fight, Jiraiya would just treat it as some fun, even if it was just slander, Jiraiya would be able to keep silent, but this old guy wanted to completely destroy Tsunade's reputation and drive Tsunade out of the position of Hokage, which exceeded Jiraiya's tolerance limit.

"Jiraiya, you have no right to speak here. Why don't you just be an out-of-sight, out-of-mind escapist? Since the villagers don't want to care, then just never care..." Seeing that Tsunade didn't talk back, Utane Koharu was secretly happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and she started to scold Jiraiya who wanted to interrupt.

"You..." Jiraiya's face changed color instantly. Didn't he know about the darkness of the village? Yes, didn't he know about Orochimaru's betrayal and Tsunade's sadness? He knew everything, but all of this was related to the Third Generation. There were too many tangled entanglements involved. Knowing that he couldn't solve it, he chose to leave his hometown and didn't come back for more than ten years.

Now that his mask had been exposed, revealing his cowardly soul, Jiraiya felt unbearable and regretted his escape. What he lacked was never the ability to execute, but the heart to face himself.

From the moment Tsunade called him back, Jiraiya stood behind Tsunade unconsciously. Tsunade is the Hokage, Tsunade needs my support, so I, Jiraiya, am Tsunade's biggest supporter. After thinking through all this, facing my own cowardice, what bad choice is there?
