Not long after, Aburame Ryoma came to the Root again and reported to Danzo.

""Danzo-sama."

Danzo turned around and looked at Aburame Ryoma:"Ryoma? How is the investigation going?"

"It has been confirmed that the last location of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was at home."

"Search, did you find anything else?"

……

Aburame Ryoma didn't say anything, because what happened yesterday was too horrible, he couldn't even describe it.

Danzo saw the expression on Aburame Ryoma's face and knew what he had experienced.

"Nothing was found? No choice but to keep investigating, no matter how long it takes."

If it was him in the past, he would have reprimanded Aburame Ryoma!

But after being kicked and seriously injured by Tsunade, he came to his senses. You can't use force against Tsunade!

Otherwise... you will die.

Anyway, he doesn't believe that a little kid can control the power of the Nine-Tails.

Even if Kushina is stronger, he has a way to control Kushina.

Why? Just with his Sharingan!

----------------

As the sky brightened, high-ranking and elite ninjas had gathered in a room.

This meeting was very simple. In the subsequent battles with Sand Village and Iwagakure, the winner would be Konoha. As the winner, Konoha had the right to demand compensation from the loser.

So this meeting was to discuss how much compensation to ask for!

What was more noticeable about this meeting was that in addition to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Kado En, Koharu, Jiraiya, Orochimaru and others were all here.

This meeting was very important.

It was not only a problem for Konoha, but also a matter for Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

After all, they remembered the bet with Tsunade clearly!

To be honest, they also wanted to see what choice their teacher would make.

At least it wouldn't be as unbearable as Tsunade said, right?

……

"I suggest expanding Konoha's territory!"

"In addition to land, we also need money and talent! If it weren't for the Land Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom, wouldn't the disaster have come in? Then let's make a killing from them!"

"And the Rain Country! How dare they challenge us? We must teach them a lesson!"

"That’s right!"

"They must not be forgiven!"

As soon as the meeting started, the scene was noisy. But the focus was the same, all talking about benefiting and strengthening Konoha.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru looked at the atmosphere at the scene, and both laughed.

This situation is settled!

Everyone has the same intention, and the Sandaime's intention is almost the same, and it must be the same as everyone else.

But at this time, no matter how noisy the scene was, Sarutobi Hiruzen kept his head down, as if he was thinking about something.

"Lord Hokage, please make the decision!"

"Yes! Hokage-sama, please say something?"

"Lord Hokage, what should we do?"

"Hokage"

"Lord Hokage!"

……

Everyone's eyes were focused on Sarutobi Hiruzen, waiting for his verdict.

"Everyone, please listen to me."Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly

"We have already sacrificed too many people in this war. We should focus more on the village." What do you mean?

Compensation ? Money? Land? Nothing? Jiraiya and Orochimaru opened their eyes and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, looking at him in disbelief.

"Teacher, we did sacrifice a lot of our friends. But for the future of the village, as the victorious country, we should ask them for money and land."

Orochimaru spoke rarely at this time.

Perhaps it was because Tsunade's bet was too tempting that he spoke out his heart.

"Orochimaru, I'm glad you can speak your mind. But, Orochimaru, and everyone else, what if we get the land? What if we get the money? What if we get the resources? Can we use them with peace of mind after we get them? Will they let us go after we get them? After we get them, won't we be in trouble?

If we ask for them, they will definitely not give up and will clash with us again.

Everyone, we have to protect this hard-earned peace."

After hearing this, everyone complained in their hearts: What are you talking about? Will there be no trouble if we don't take it? And if you cherish peace so much, why did you send people to start a war in the first place!

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued:"I know what you are thinking. Will there be no trouble if we don't take it?"

"If they don't take it, they will owe us a favor. If we get this favor, think about it, is the benefit of a country's favor greater? Or is the benefit of getting those things greater?"

Well... it seems to be true.

Indeed, if there is a favor, in many cases, those villages will be timid in doing things because of the favor to Konoha.

But is it really the case?

At this time, Orochimaru and Jiraiya once again looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in disbelief.

"teacher!"

"Teacher!"

Jiraiya and Orochimaru said together, he wanted to change Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind.

But at this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were very firm, and he would not be affected by the words of the two.

"Okay, it's settled! No one objects, right?"

Objection?

You said it's settled, who dares to object!"

So everyone present agreed with Sarutobi Hiruzen's proposal.

At this time, Jiraiya and Orochimaru still had that expression of disbelief.

……

Seeing that everyone had left, Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru and asked,"How about having a drink with me?"

Orochimaru:"No, I……"

Jiraiya:"Just think of it as accompanying my good friend, and I haven't even thanked you yet."

"Come on, I'll treat you."

After hearing Jiraiya's words, Orochimaru also thought it was a good suggestion.

He then stood up and walked out.

""Hey? Where are you going?" Jiraiya asked

"Don't you want to drink?" Orochimaru turned around and said calmly

"Oh! Let's go!"

---------------

The night gradually enveloped the earth. Jiraiya was already drunk, laughing from time to time and mumbling some irrelevant nonsense.

In contrast, Orochimaru was in a better condition. He held the wine glass in his hand, staring at the clear wine in the glass, smelling the rich aroma of Chinese toon wine, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to what happened during the day. A helpless expression appeared on his face, and he said softly:

"I didn't expect the teacher would really be like Tsunade said......."

Jiraiya was originally confused, but after hearing Orochimaru's words, he seemed to be splashed by a spring of fresh water and instantly woke up.

He calmed down and his eyes became clear.

"Yeah, it seems we never really understand the teacher......"

Jiraiya muttered to himself, shaking the wine glass in his hand, and looked at it thoughtfully:"How ridiculous, we are the ones who have followed the teacher the longest."

His voice revealed an indescribable loss and confusion.

Orochimaru:"We lost the bet.……"

Jiraiya:"That’s true.……"

Orochimaru suddenly felt that he had forgotten something. What on earth had he forgotten?
