Uchiha Kō pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'll talk to the Lord Hokage about it later."
"Then I'll leave it to you!" Nara Rokumei bowed. He knew that only someone like Uchiha Kō, whose strength and achievements were now top-notch, would get the Third Hokage's attention.
"This is also for our own family, there's no need to be so polite." Uchiha Kō smiled.
Having said that, he prepared to go find the Hokage Tsunade, but Tsunade stopped him, saying, "King Owl, aren't you being used as a pawn? Right now, our teacher's idea is a peace treaty. If you ask him to seek benefits, aren't you going against him?"
Uchiha Kō stopped, then suddenly smiled. "Well, little one, let me ask you..."
Tsunade blushed instantly, her head spinning. He... what did he call me?! Oh my god! Ahhhhhh! I'm going to die!
Uchiha Kō looked towards the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, and suddenly said, "If our Hokage's first battle after taking office is fought so well, then winning wouldn't require the other side to pay a price, and losing would only require signing a peace treaty."
"What will other countries think then? They launch a war against us, and if they win, they gain something; if they lose, they don't lose anything. There's no such thing as a free lunch."
"This will not only fail to reduce the occurrence of wars, but will also foster a sense of entitlement throughout the Ninja World that anyone can trample on Konoha."
"Tsunade, Tsunade? Are you listening? Hello?" Uchiha Kō waved his hand in front of her, and Tsunade finally snapped out of her daze, her face flushed as she said, "Owl-kun, I'm sorry, I was daydreaming, but I feel like Owl-kun is right!"
After saying that, Tsunade nodded in approval.
Seeing this, Uchiha Kō laughed out loud, "Haha, let's go, little one, let's go see the Lord Hokage. I won't say anything about this, and no one else will dare to. They'll just harbor resentment towards the Hokage in their hearts. At first, it won't be a big deal, but over time, they'll become disloyal."
"Okay! If the teacher scolds you, I'll speak up for you!" Tsunade laughed, then added, "You just called me 'good girl'? That sounded so nice! If you like it, say it more often! Okay~"
"Okay~ my little darling," Uchiha Kō laughed. Tsunade grinned and took Uchiha Kō's arm, following him to Sarutobi Hiruzen's side.
At this moment, Shimura Danzō also arrived. He was also going to sign the peace treaty with Sarutobi Hiruzen, so he planned to discuss the specifics with him.
Uchiha Kō's eyes lit up. The Pot Kage Elder—no, wait, it's the Konoha Elder! With him around, everything would be much easier.
If we're talking about who had the best relationship with Sarutobi Hiruzen, it would undoubtedly be Shimura Danzō. After all, everyone knows (Hiruzen, give me the guy! No way! I'm the Hokage! You'll regret this. Door: bang!)
"Danzo, you've arrived." Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around as if he had expected it, only to find that it wasn't just Danzo, but also Uchiha Kō and Tsunade.
His heart skipped a beat, and then he smiled and said, "Lord Xiao and Tsunade, you've come too. Please sit down, please sit down!" As he spoke, he patted the seat next to him.
Uchiha Kō then turned to Shimura Danzō and said, "Danzo, please sit with the Hokage. Tsunade and I will sit on either side!"
Shimura Danzō nodded with a smile and then sat down. A hint of satisfaction flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes. Although Uchiha Kō was powerful, he still had a sense of awe towards him and the village elders.
Then Uchiha Kō pulled Tsunade to sit on a small chair nearby.
Shimura Danzō the grilled meat handed to him by Akimichi Choza, took a bite, and said, "This grilled meat is really good. Hiruzen, want one?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled. "I've already eaten. You should eat more."
The two children were drinking Sake and eating grilled meat, not saying a word. Now that two important people were speaking, the younger generation should just listen.
"Hiruzen, how do you plan to sign this agreement?" Shimura Danzō asked after finishing the last piece of meat on the signed document.
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled slightly. "Danzo, aren't we close friends?"
Danzo nodded. "But I'm asking you a question. Why are you talking about how close we are?"
"Then I'll be frank. I believe you'll support me," Sarutobi Hiruzen, leaning back tactically.
"Go ahead and say it, I'll listen first." Shimura Danzō wasn't stupid; he knew that what Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to say might not be good, so he couldn't possibly agree.
Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, "Danzo, Sunagakure is miserable. What else is there besides this vast expanse of yellow sand? So I thought..." Before Sarutobi Hiruzen speaking, Danzo on the table.
"You're out of your mind! What, you're only concerned with your reputation for benevolence and want to avoid compensation, but have you thought about the ninjas who died in our village and their families?!" Shimura Danzō his fist on the table and stood up in anger.
As expected, before Sarutobi Hiruzen speaking, Shimura Danzō guessed what he was about to say.
Sarutobi Hiruzen silent, his face grim, then slammed his fist on the table and said, "Danzo, don't forget! I am the Hokage!"
Uchiha Kō's eyes widened in disbelief. "Wow, this is a famous scene!" He even handed Tsunade a cup of Sake and picked one up for himself.
Zuo zuo zuo
Just as Danzo was about to utter his classic line, "You'll regret this," he suddenly heard Uchiha Kō's soft, sucking sound. His eyes lit up, and he said, "Hiruzen, the victory in this battle is inseparable from Owl-kun's strategy and strength. I think you should ask for his opinion!"
After saying that, Shimura Danzō, "Kid, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
Uchiha Kō spat out the sake with a "pfft," Sake Shimura Danzō's face. He quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe his mouth and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Danzo, I didn't mean to."
After saying that, she reached for a tissue to wipe Danzo's face, but Danzo's expression darkened and he said, "It's nothing, but when the Lord Hokage asks you about it later, give me a 'proper' answer."
After saying Danzo took out his handkerchief and wiped the Sake off his face, staring at Uchiha Kō as if to say, "You brat, you better talk back later! Otherwise, you're finished."
Uchiha Kō wanted to slap himself. He'd come here complaining about the Pot Kage, but now he was the one taking the blame?
Although he originally came to persuade them, with Danzo there, he only needed to provide support. Who knew that the phrase "I am the Hokage" would break him down!
Tsunade covered her mouth and chuckled, feeling that Uchiha Kō and Elder Danzo had a very good relationship.
"Well, Lord Owl, then tell us what you think about this matter. It's good that you young people have your own ideas, and we'd like to hear them too," Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.
Uchiha Kō put the skewers down and stuck them into the wood, then cleared his throat and said, "Lord Hokage, is this appropriate?"
I'm exhausted from this trip. Oh well, I'll be home after the 15th and will update regularly every day from then on.
