He listened to her admonitions and looked at his wife kneeling in front of him.
Ōnoki smiled and gently patted her head.
There have indeed been a lot going on lately.
In addition... I have indeed experienced some physical discomfort.
It seems we need to be more frugal at home.
However, things can stop at home, but they can't stop in the village!
Just like the teacher said, once you sit in this position, you have to take on the corresponding responsibilities.
The moment he put on the Tsuchikage hat.
His actions concerned the lives of tens of thousands of people in the village.
Fortunately, we don't have that many troublesome things going on at home.
Even the troubles in the Shinobi World only arose after he had secured his position.
Otherwise, with both internal and external pressures, things could get really difficult.
Thinking of this, he squeezed his wife, who had stood up and was standing to the side.
Before she blushed and was about to speak.
He controlled the ground with the flow of Chakra within his body, causing a suspended earthen platform to rise.
Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique
As it flew out of the gate and was about to take off.
Feeling the lingering stickiness on his left hand, he smiled and waved towards the door, then mouthed a gesture only the two of them understood.
Moments later, the earthen platform landed on the smooth, rounded top of the bun-shaped fortress with no entrance.
There was no descent, no hidden door; Ōnoki simply manipulated his Chakra, and he and the platform slowly sank in.
Below, at the office door.
Hearing the noise, I looked up at the person who had entered in such a unique way.
A middle-aged female Jonin, carrying a stack of File, wearing Iwagakure Forehead Protector, a red bodysuit with only a left sleeve underneath, and Iwagakure's special leather protective gear on top, shook her head Jonin.
Having confirmed who the person was, she ignored the Tsuchikage's showy skills.
Instead, he went straight to his desk and piled the last stack of File he was carrying onto it.
As soon as he landed, Ōnoki saw a mountain of File piled up on the table.
I subconsciously touched my kidneys, which were already showing signs of stress.
He asked the middle-aged woman, " Hanashi Jonin, how come there are twice as many people today as yesterday?"
What are these File likely to contain?
What new situation has arisen today?
Hearing the question from behind, the middle-aged woman Hanashi, turned around and nodded helplessly, replying, "There is indeed new information today, and the extra File are the ones you asked me to review after confirming the information."
"So when I received the intelligence this morning, I went to the File and brought it all with me."
Her current position is the Tsuchikage's Secretary.
Therefore, she would be given a copy of the File and most intelligence first.
After receiving these documents, she will categorize them and arrange related matters according to the prior instructions of the Tsuchikage.
The extra items we have today were what the Tsuchikage had explained beforehand.
Hearing the Secretary's reply, Ōnoki instantly recalled the information corresponding to the ' File '.
They had naturally received information about the unusual actions of the Land of Grass, which was their neighbor.
Because of his plan to sit back and watch the tigers fight, he ordered the border troops to remain stationary.
He also instructed his Secretary that if he received any information about the fall of the Land of Grass, he should bring back the village's File.
Although I haven't seen the specific information yet, the Secretary's behavior proves it.
" The Land of Grass is gone!"
It drifted past the File and towards the back of the desk.
He picked up the File closest to his seat and began to carefully examine the relevant information.
Looking at the Front Line records of what the Sarutobi Group was doing in the Land of Grass.
His thick eyebrows furrowed tightly together.
It wasn't because of those people's brutality. (After all, they were citizens of the Land of Grass; what did it have to do with him, the Tsuchikage?)
It wasn't for the supplies and money recorded in the records. (Although the Land of Earth is poor, it's not lacking in these things.)
Intelligence officials' estimated number of children!
This is what's giving him the biggest headache.
That's also why he wanted the File.
It seems Sarutobi is really going to gamble everything on this one game!
He sighed inwardly and closed the File in his hand.
Looking at the people opposite him awaiting orders, he said in a deep voice, "Go and summon the elders and Clan members!"
"While you're at it, go to the administration office and pick a few people to come help me sort through these File after the meeting."
Having read the intelligence early on, and having served as the Tsuchikage's Secretary for several years, Hanashi already knew the Tsuchikage's next move.
The retrieved File are simple.
She didn't have the authority to convene a meeting of senior management.
This is a very important matter; it requires the personal order of the Lord Tsuchikage.
After listening to the two commands, I realized there was nothing else.
She nodded, bowed, and left the office to make the arrangements.
After the person left, the office door was closed.
Ōnoki, sitting in a large chair behind a pile of File, finally let out a long sigh.
The affairs of the Land of Grass cannot be kept secret from anyone in the Shinobi World.
Sarutobi's attitude was clear: they were going to raise the stakes.
In that case, Senju will definitely join as well.
But if they add to it, a chain reaction will force them and several other countries to add to it as well!
When he first received the news of their falling out, he was surprised by Hiruzen Sarutobi's choice.
But as more and more information came in, he finally understood how Hiruzen Sarutobi played his game.
Is this method clever?
Not high!
It's quite simple; it's just the simple act of bullying Senju.
But... this method works!
Even if the Senju Hashirama another Sarutobi, they could still put up a fight against a sheer numbers of people.
Otherwise, Konoha would have had Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha back then.
Why not simply unify the Shinobi World, instead of establishing villages and creating the Five Great Nations?
That's because the other Shinobi Clan secretly made contact at that time.
Just because those two were very strong at the time doesn't mean that everyone in their Clan or allied clans was strong!
Unless we abandon everything, war will only result in mutual destruction.
This is also related to the communication between the Shinobi Clan that time.
One of the leaders, Teacher Ishikawa, founded Iwagakure and became the First Tsuchikage, as elected by everyone.
He rubbed his wandering thoughts, thinking about the consequences of Sarutobi's actions.
Ōnoki couldn't help but curse under his breath.
This monkey had no choice but to join because its life was at stake.
But he had no choice but to follow because of Monkey Plus and Senju Plus.
People work so hard they disregard the future and even mortgage it.
But he had to strike a balance, maintaining an advantage without affecting other plans within the village.
There are too few; once the game is over, the gap will be too large.
Forget about taking a bite out of Konoha; you also have to be careful that people might bite you first in an attempt to cover up their hole.
If there are too many, other arrangements within the village cannot be carried out, and even if they can bite the Konoha, they will be unable to do so.
But it may not be enough to patch up the hole.
Thinking of this, Ōnoki couldn't help but curse that damned monkey a few more times.
Originally, we were just sitting back and watching the tigers fight, and then we could enjoy a bite of meat.
Now, you have to invest heavily just to qualify for a table.
If I hadn't been afraid that if I had intervened, Hiruzen Sarutobi would have been killed by the Senju.
Even if he were to mention the Land of Grass, he wouldn't just give it up so easily.
If I had known it would turn out this way, I should have contacted the Senju to kill Sarutobi in the first place.
Then Earth and Fire merge!
Well... that's unlikely, but that doesn't stop him from thinking about it!
