With families like Sarutobi and Shimura supporting the battlefield, fewer civilian ninjas were sacrificed, and the impact on ordinary villagers could be minimized. Secondly, Konoha sent not many ninjas, and Kumogakure's support was enough for frontline expenses, which meant that Konoha was getting paid to fight the war.
No village is needed to pay for war expenses.
The finances will not be greatly affected.
In this case, stable development will be enough. As for the frontline matters, leave it to Third Hokage and the others.
"So what you are saying is that there is no need to continue supporting the front line?"
Tsunade thinks this is not good:
"What if Kumogakure is not satisfied?"
After all, the alliance relationship is here. Kumogakure is fighting Iwagakure, and needs to fight against Kirigakure. As a result, Konoha is fishing for money. If this spreads out, it will be somewhat unpleasant.
"If you are not satisfied, then terminate the alliance. The village has not yet recovered from the war with Sunagakure, so it is good to send troops to help. Besides, you are Fourth Hokage, and you did not sign the alliance."
"When the village fell into chaos, you Tsunade became the new Hokage, and you still helped Kumogakure without voiding the previously signed covenant. What else could they say?"
As long as the fishing phenomenon is not serious and as long as Konoha is not holding back, Third Raikage will not be able to accuse Tsunade of anything.
Only Third Hokage would take the alliance relationship with Kumogakure too seriously.
Frontline, Land of Grass battlefield camp.
Because the two sides have a harmonious relationship, and Sunagakure is following Konoha in sending troops, the two villages share a combat camp. The ninjas of Sunagakure and Konoha are gathered together, which makes it easier to command and fight.
As for the command issue, the two commanders will discuss it together.
Originally, the commander-in-chief of Konoha was Mitokado Homura, and Sunagakure sent Chiyo out. Unexpectedly, Third Hokage came to the front line.
So Mitokado Homura had to take a back seat to manage the camp supplies, and handed over the command rights to Third Hokage.
"I never thought that I, old lady, would one day work together with you Hiruzen Sarutobi."
"It is said that the situation in Konoha is a bit chaotic. Is this true?"
Chiyo must know what happened to Konoha, but she still brought it up deliberately, just to poke Third Hokage's heart.
"I never thought that I would get to work with you Chiyo one day."
Third Hokage said lukewarmly, "As for the situation in the village, Chiyo don't worry about it. Tsunade will take care of everything. Chiyo If you are worried about Konoha, why don't you think about it first and the compensation for the next quarter will be better."
"With the war starting, Kazekage shouldn't have much time for him to mine."
Are you poking at my heart?
Then don't blame me for pushing back, let's see who is more embarrassed.
The dignified Kazekage has become a professional miner, running around in the desert all day long, mining everywhere as compensation, tsk tsk tsk, among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, only Kazekage has this ability.
Of course, among Five Great Shinobi Villages, only Kazekage of Sunagakure would mine as compensation.
"You..."
The ridicule failed, but Chiyo's face covered with age spots turned red with anger.
She was just taunting Third Hokage out of habit, but she didn't expect that Third Hokage would directly give her a desperate counterattack.
Are you two in a hurry?
Especially you Chiyo, it was fine before, but why did it change after Hiruzen came.
Mitokado Homura looked at the two people speechlessly.
Before Third Hokage came, he and Chiyo worked together harmoniously, but after Third Hokage and Utatane Koharu came, the atmosphere changed.
No matter what, I always like to choke and ridicule a few words.
It's as if the two parties are not cooperative, but enemies.
"You two, now is not the time to quarrel. What we have to face is Earth Release Corps of Iwagakure. Although our task is to hold back some of Iwagakure's effective forces, you two don't want to be accused by your allies of saying that we are fishing for fish and doing nothing, right?"
Although everyone is fishing, fishing can be done and cannot be exposed.
Once I touched it too much, Kumogakure couldn't help but ask what to do.
At that time, both villages will be embarrassed together.
Chiyo smiled coldly, "I'm sorry, Sunagakure is just working together. Even if he is questioned, it has nothing to do with Sunagakure."
Sunagakure goes into battle, which is similar to the mercenary mode. You get the benefits and send troops to attack Iwagakure. It's that simple.
It doesn't matter, why are you so dedicated?
Aren't you afraid that Kumogakure will accuse you Sunagakure of not being trustworthy and not doing things after taking benefits?
Third Hokage hasn't said this yet, because Chiyo will explode if he does.
Just blow it.
If Kumogakure raises a question, Konoha can still shirk things about the village. You Sunagakure won't be able to run away even if you want to. If you are not careful, you will be accused of being dishonest.
Third Hokage did not continue to poke the lungs of the old woman Chiyo. After all, everyone will need to work together and cooperate in the war for a long time until the end of the war. It is not good for both parties if the relationship is too tense.
So Third Hokage decisively changed the topic to war.
"Although Konoha has joined forces with your village, our military strength is far less than that of Iwagakure. The ninjas of Iwagakure are good at joint operations, which we cannot compare with."
Of the entire Shinobi World, only Earth Release Corps of Iwagakure can show off. The legions in other villages... are just the same, including Sunagakure and Puppet Corps. They are all in a mess.
Konoha has no say in this aspect.
Iwagakure's ninjas are basically good at Earth Release, and are also good at joint operations, which means that Iwagakure will not disperse its troops to fight small-scale battles with the enemy, which will expose its own flaws.
After knowing that Konoha and Sunagakure would not attack desperately, Iwagakure became more confident.
Our Iwagakure army's position is right here. If you are capable, come and attack.
"They are unwilling to disperse and form small-scale operations."
Chiyo's face became serious. Sunagakure had been bullied by Iwagakure. She knew very well how Iwagakure's ninjas fought.
Either fight a tough offensive or use a human wave tactic. As for the small-scale combat mode, I'm sorry, I Iwagakure won't accompany you.
