25 Chapter 25 War!!!???

Including Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Konoha high-level representatives present all turned gloomy when they heard this.

Hyūga Hinata was nearly captured, and Cloud Shinobi beat Konoha face upside down, causing Konoha to surrender the body of Hyuga Hizashi. It can be called one of the most humiliating incidents since Konoha's establishment.

Had it not been for the fact that there was no suitable successor in the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen might have to fire himself a second time but earlier.

"We don't want war, Lord Hokage." Aizen said earnestly.

However, this sentence changed the atmosphere of the scene drastically.

"they don't want war", in other words, it means "if we don't agree, we will war"!

It is exactly the same as Cloud Shinobi's approach back then.

But the situation is different. Cloud Shinobi is stronger than Sand Shinobi after calculating the combat power. back then, Kage-level powerhouses, Cloud Shinobi had Fourth Raikage and Eight Tails Jinchūriki Killer Bee, who had roughly mastered the power of tail beasts.

On Konoha's side, Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato is dead, and only Sarutobi Hiruzen is a Kage-level, and he is still at the age of Kage-level, whose strength is beginning to regress.

This is also one of the important reasons why Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed to Cloud Shinobi's almost barbaric request.

Sand Shinobi is different. According to Konoha's information, Sand Shinobi currently has only one Kage-level that is Rasa.

Coupled with the gap in the overall strength of the two sides, Konoha undoubtedly has the upper hand.

For a time, everyone in Konoha had different ideas. some people looked angry, as if "you want to fight, then we will fight you" eyes.

Some people went into contemplation, thinking about whether to agree to Sand Shinobi's request or not.

"The four Sand Shinobi who came to Konoha from far away must be exhausted. Why don't you go to rest for a short time? Please give Konoha a little time to think about. We have to think about it through." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"Then Lord Hokage, please think thoroughly."Aizen nodded, got up and walked back with Pakura's and other two with smile.

After Sand Shinobi's people left, Sarutobi Hiruzen suppressed his desire to smoke a cigarette to eliminate his irritability, and asked everyone at the table: "What do you think?"

"Hokage! Why not go to war with Sand Shinobi!"

Hyuga Hiashi's tone was full of anger, "Otherwise, the Ninja world will forget that Konoha is the strongest of the five nations!"

Originally, In Aizen's proposal and mention of his brother Hizashi had already made him angry.

Now that the Uchiha clan has been destroyed, Hyuga has naturally become Konoha's strongest family, which inevitably makes Hyuga Hiashi feel a bit swollen.

I think this might be a good opportunity for his Hyuga family to show off their prowess.

Let the Ninja World know-Hyuga clan is the strongest in the ninja world!

"Our forces are absolutely stronger than Sand Shinobi, Lord Hokage, don't be afraid of them!" Another hawkish style Anbu Jōnin also said.

All of a sudden, many people who said that the we should go to war have spoken out.

At this moment, Nara Shikaku said, interrupting these people, "Everyone, war is the most unpredictable thing. Once war starts, is our opponent is just Sand Shinobi? Do you think the other three countries will be sit quietly?"

It is worthy of [Knoha Army Mastermind], a sentence is like a basin of cold water pouring on the heads of Hyuga Hiashi and others who are just talking about war.

As the most prosperous country of the five major countries, Konoha has been in conflict with any of the other major countries in the history of Ninja.

Either covet the wealthy land of the fire country, or the rare Kekkei Genkai. There have been too many examples of this.

"I agree with Nara Shikaku's words to avoid war as much as possible."Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again.

You know, the reason why Uchiha Itachi slaughtered the Uchiha clan was to prevent the Uchiha coup from turning into the fuse of the Fourth Ninja War.

Now that the Uchiha clan has been destroyed less than two months ago, the Ninja World War is about to break out for another reason.

Then Isn't Uchiha dead in vain?

"Well, war must be avoided, but I hope to use negotiation to minimize Konoha's losses. Let's go back and rest first." Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and motioned everyone to leave.

When only Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura are left in the meeting room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen got up slowly, walked to the window sill, and lit his pipe.

"The way to avoid war is right, Hiruzen, even if the war with Sand Shinobi can be won, but if one of the other three countries intervenes, the pressure on Konoha will be huge." Mitokado Homura expressed support for Sarutobi Hiruzen's approach. The two of them did not like Danzo as much as Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"The Uchiha clan...Even if they are exterminated, they still cause such a mess, damn that Uchiha Kenya, it's a pity that we can't kill him by ourself!" Utatane Koharu gritted his teeth.

Uchiha was originally destroyed to avoid the Fourth Ninja War, but after being destroyed, Uchiha Kenya became a new fuse.

The Konoha high-level executive's wanted to dig out his corpse and whip the corpse again and again!

"Tomorrow, we will start the second round of negotiations with Sand Shinobi to lower their terms to Konoha's acceptable range."

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his back to the duo and said, "This is the best solution."

....

....

The hotel room provided by Konoha to sand shinobi.

Jōnin Kuragi asked Aizen, who was sitting by the window, "Aizen-sama, will Konoha agree to our request?"

Although three additional conditions are added with 30% of the Konoha food every year, they themselves are very excited about this.

But the conditions is unimaginable, even Sand Shinobi's own people thought it was impossible to achieve it.

Aizen smiled faintly: "Of course it's impossible. Tomorrow Third Hokage will negotiate with us again, and then try lower the terms. According to Lord Kazekage's order, then we can get the 15% of the food, which is enough."

"Ohhhh... so, that's how it is, first asking for a higher price, then bargaining to the real terms, Aizen-sama is very good at negotiating with things like this." Pakura nodded.

Suddenly, the focus of Aizen's pupils turned. on the street below, a familiar shadow walked by, it was Kurenai!
