Naruto: I traveled through time with the Samsara Eye.

"The problem is, we can't set a precedent for the daimyo to influence the war."

The more Akimichi Norifuge thought about it, the more headache he had. He was on the side of the village and he believed that the Third Hokage did the right thing.

The only shortcoming is that the financial issue has not been taken into consideration.

"Don't be depressed. Financial problems are not all bad news."

"????"

What the hell?

Is there good news despite financial problems?

Qiu Daoqufeng has a fat man's expression on his face, saying, "I haven't been educated much, so don't lie to me."

Jingyi patted his big belly:

"Have you forgotten? Shimura Danzo and Hokage-sama want to set up a new department, but there is no money in the treasury. How can they set it up? Is this good news? Another way to cut costs."

"........."

This is really good news.

Qiu Daoqufeng opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a long time, and finally gave Jingyi a thumbs up.

Only you, Hinata Shizuka, would dare to say that.

Not long after the meeting ended, Tsunade arrived at the Hokage's office.

Tsunade, in a good mood, opened the door.

"Old man, do you have something to talk to me about? If you have something to say, please tell me quickly. I'm very busy. I have patients at the hospital. They have paid me and are waiting for me to come over."

Because of the New Year overtime, the cost of treatment would increase, and Tsunade would earn more than usual.

"Tsunade."

Tsunade could laugh, but the Third Hokage couldn't. He didn't mean to beat around the bush and told his disciple very frankly, "There is a problem with the village's finances."

"so?"

Tsunade's heart skipped a beat and the smile on her face instantly disappeared.

"So I want you to go out........."

"impossible!!!"

As soon as the Third Hokage opened his mouth, Tsunade knew what he was going to say, and interrupted him on the spot, and angrily retorted:

“I can’t possibly go to the daimyo’s mansion to discuss money matters with the daimyo for the village’s financial problems. Old man, you can’t always rely on me for this kind of thing.

Since you are determined to win the war, want a good reputation, and want to be the winner, then you must bear the impact and cost of all this. "

"Instead of relying on me to smooth things over, I am first and foremost a ninja of the village!!

I am the princess of Konoha, not the princess of the daimyo."

You can't use it this way even if you are a relative.

Besides, how many times have you used it?

Is it not enough?

“But the village’s finances will be in trouble once the pensions are paid out, and the village will have to spend money on all aspects.”

The Third Hokage hoped that Tsunade could understand him.

But Tsunade said she couldn't understand.

"Impossible, I won't do this again. Besides, finances are your problem, old man. Don't push the responsibility and obligations to me. I'm not the Hokage."

As long as it was beneficial to the village, Tsunade would just pretend she didn't know about the behavior.

But you can't go too far. Are you really going to bash my Tsunade's face as hard as you can?

Don’t you know that everything can be done once or twice but not three times?

Check your conscience and ask yourself how many times I have used this face.

If it is a major unexpected crisis that you encounter in normal times, just brush it off.

But the consequences of all this were chosen by the Third Hokage himself. You want to win and please the Daimyo, but don't drag me into this.

"Tsunade............"

"Don't call me. You should figure out the money issue yourself. As I said before, you are the Hokage. This should be the Hokage's responsibility, not mine."

Tsunade once again impatiently interrupted the Third Hokage's persuasion.

"Old man, you'd better not use my name to go to the daimyo's mansion to find the daimyo. If the village is really short of money, you can think of other ways. Anyway, we have to hold on until the end of the war."

"The problem is that we might not be able to hold on."

The Third Hokage explained in a deep voice:

"According to my calculations, the funding from the Daimyo Prefecture after the New Year will be enough to tide us over the current difficulties. But now everything has changed, do you know that? Tsunade."

I know shit!

You are the only one allowed to reject the daimyo's kindness, but you are not allowed to delay paying the money?

We are heading in both directions, okay?

Tsunade was too lazy to listen to any more of this nonsense.

"Anyway, I can't possibly show up. Don't come to me if you need money. I, Tsunade, am poorer than anyone else. Oh, and don't think about Jingyi, or you'll get into even bigger trouble."

Tsunade herself had no money, and she also warned the Third Hokage not to try to take the money from Jingyi's pocket, otherwise there would be more fun.

"Can't I borrow it?"

Don’t tell me, the Third Hokage really had such a plan.

He chose to take a two-pronged approach, starting from Tsunade and going to the Daimyo's mansion to show his face.

Secondly, if possible, embezzle Jingyi's money for a while, and when the village has calmed down, return the money to Jingyi as soon as possible.

You are so bold! !

Tsunade walked away: "I don't know, I can only ask for you."

As for the result?

That was not something Tsunade could control or worry about.

After parting ways with the Third Hokage on bad terms, Tsunade went straight home. She knew that Shizuka would not be at work at this time.

Sure enough, Jingyi was sitting in the living room with a book in his hand. There was a burning stove next to him, making the living room warm.

Hearing someone opening the door, Jingyi raised her head and took a look.

Kushina asked for a day off to rest today and is currently sleeping in. After Kushina's persuasion, the compassionate Kurama finally agreed to her request to rest.

Nawaki and Minato Namikaze followed Jiraiya out of the village.

Well, the only person who came in without knocking at this time was Tsunade.

"What's wrong? Who offended you?"

"Who else could it be?"

Tsunade squeezed over to Shizueichi, occupying his spot before pulling a thin blanket over him.

"The old man is really too much. He actually wants to use me as a scapegoat and ask me to go to Daming Mansion to ask for money!! He is embarrassed, but I am embarrassed too."

Most likely guessed it.

Shizue moved so that Tsunade could lie more comfortably.

As soon as Tsunade's first words came out, he knew the result. It was the Third Hokage's fault.

The village has financial problems. If they want to get the money from the Daimyo's mansion as soon as possible, they need to rely on Tsunade's connections. Unfortunately, after this happened several times in a row, Tsunade has become tired of it.

"And then? There must be something else he said."

"Then........."

Tsunade suddenly became hesitant to speak, she was embarrassed to say what the Third Hokage had said.

So embarrassing.

"????"

Seeing Tsunade's shy look, Jingyi seemed to have guessed something. He couldn't help laughing and asked with amusement:

"Are you trying to borrow money from me to make ends meet?"

Don't say it, it's really possible. After all, Hinata Shizuka has at least 300 million taels of cash in his hand. Anyone would be tempted.

The Third Hokage's idea was very simple. Borrowing money did not mean asking for money. As long as the village's finances were relaxed, he would guarantee to pay you back as soon as possible.

But can we trust the words of the Third Hokage?

He can believe part of it, but Jingyi will not lend him money.
