Chapter 110
"Lord Hokage!"
Dressed in Anbe, Sakumo Hatake pushed open the door of Hokage's office and saluted Hiruzaru Sarutobi.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi recovered from his trance, and waved at Hatake Sakumo.
"Suomo is here!"
"There are no outsiders here, so there is no need for so many etiquette!"
Hatake Sakumo was unmoved, and after completing the etiquette respectfully, he slowly straightened up and nodded slightly at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Yes!"
A trace of relief flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, he nodded slightly to Hatake Sakumo and said:
"You! It's just too rigid."
"Sometimes the old man feels that you are more polite than people my age."
"But you, Konoha's White Fang, don't have to be so reserved in front of me."
Hatake Sakumo shook his head slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth under the mask.
"The third generation is the Hokage of the village. As the leader of the dark army under Hokage-sama, his subordinates must naturally respect Hokage-sama!"
Sarutobi laughed out loud, looking very relieved.
"Okay! The old man naturally knows your loyalty to Konoha. Otherwise, no one would invite you over!"
Hatake Sakumo nodded lightly, there was no wave on his face under the mask.
"Since you're here, let me go out with the old man."
"Take off your outfit, and go with the old man to meet Your Excellency the Daming."
Hiruzaru Sarutobi gave instructions to Sakumo Hatake, picked up the Hokage hat on the table and put it on his head.
"Yes!"
Hatake Sakumo quickly took off the mask and cloak on his head, revealing his resolute face under the silver hair.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded, took the pipe in his hand, and stepped out of the door of Hokage's office first.
……
The meeting room of the Fire Nation in Konoha is located in the northwest of the village, except for Hiruza Sarutobi who occasionally comes here to participate in the Fire Nation meeting, few people come here.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi led Hatake Sakumo all the way forward, and soon came to the door of the Fire Country meeting room.
Two guards brought by the fire country daimyo were standing outside the door, one on the left and one on the right.
Hatake Sakumo stepped forward and bowed to the guard meeting room.
"Please inform me, the third Hokage is invited to meet His Excellency Daimyo!"
Coincidentally, one of the guards was the ninja guarding the daimyo who had witnessed everything in the conference room just now.
Shouting Hatake Sakumo a slight nod in return, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a look of pity in his eyes, stepped back sideways, and stretched out his hand to lead the meeting room.
"The daimyo-sama has explained it, and the third generation will enter directly!"
"Daimyo and your lords, you have been waiting for a long time!"
Seeing the look in the guard's eyes, Hiruzaru Sarutobi suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.He stretched out his hand to press the bamboo hat, slightly covered his expression, and walked into the door of the conference room.
Hatake Sakumo followed closely behind, and the guards did not stop him, but politely smiled at the famous Konoha Shirato.
Shuo Mo was a little puzzled, and didn't understand why the guard's attitude towards Hokage-sama and himself was completely different.
Smiling back at the guard, Hatake Sakumo frowned slightly, followed Sarutobi Hiruzen and walked in.
In the spacious and bright meeting room, the people from Konoha and the officials from the Fire Nation sat opposite each other at the huge oval long table.
The fire country daimyo sat at the head of the long table, and there was a lonely chair on the opposite side of the long table, which was obviously prepared for Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Hearing the sound of Hiruzaru Sarutobi entering the meeting room, more than a dozen people present turned their heads and looked at Hiruzaru Sarutobi with indifferent, calm, or sarcastic eyes.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi saw clearly the identities of the people sitting on the long table, and felt a little more bad in his heart.
Looking at the past in turn, from right to left are:
Uchiha Fugaku, the Hinata brothers, and a businessman wearing glasses, Sarutobi Hiruza didn't know each other.Next to him are Orochimaru, Tsunade, and...
Hiruzaru Sarutobi suddenly felt cold hands and feet when he saw the woman sitting next to Tsunade.
Although he looked much younger, he recognized the familiar red hair and noble temperament at a glance.
Whirlpool Mito!
The former Jinchuriki who had already died during the transfer of Kyuubi, the wife of the first Hokage!
A huge sense of absurdity appeared in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart, and even Nawaki, who was sitting on daimyo's hands, ignored it.
"Mito-sama?"
"Didn't you already..."
Uzumaki Mito nodded expressionlessly, his eyes fell on Hatake Sakumo, and he showed a slightly apologetic smile to this junior who had taken care of Tsunade.
"Hmm! It's Sakumo!"
"I didn't expect Ri Zhan to bring you here. I didn't prepare a seat for you in advance. I'm really rude!"
Hatake Sakumo naturally knew Uzumaki Mito's identity, so he quickly saluted as a junior.
"Senior Mito is serious!"
"Junior just stand up!"
Mito nodded slightly, and turned his gaze away from Sakumo to Daimyo of the Fire Country.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started!"
Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at Uzumaki Mito completely as a master, and his heart sank slowly.
He walked slowly to the other end of the long table and sat down facing the daimyo.
The fire country daimyo exchanged eyes with a group of noble officials and nodded to each other.
Daimyo cleared his throat, and said to Hiru Sarutobi:
"Three generations!"
"I invite you to come here this time, and I want to ask for your opinion on the allocation of funds to Konoha Village by the Fire Country in the future!"
Hiruzaru Sarutobi, who was contemplating, was taken aback for a moment, not expecting that the topic of this meeting would be the issue of military expenditure.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and stretched out his hand to lift the pipe to his mouth, suddenly remembering that something was wrong with the occasion, he hurriedly put the pipe back into his cuff.
Frowning slightly, Hiruzaru Sarutobi made a puzzled expression on his face, and asked the Fire Country daimyo:
"Your Excellency Daming, isn't there already a plan for the military expenditure of Konoha Village?"
"Is there something else that can't be changed?"
The Fire Nation daimyo shook his small fan leisurely, sighed softly and said:
"Ugh!"
"To be honest, there are pests in the top management of the Fire Nation."
"The military expenditure that should have been used to subsidize Muye Village was more than half, it really makes me ashamed!"
"Although the vermin has been found, due to his identity, it is difficult to get back the military expenses lost by greed!"
Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked shocked, and looked at Daimyo nervously.
"Then Muye Village's military spending next year..."
The Fire Nation daimyo shook his head and regretfully said:
"Not only next year!"
"After discussing with a group of nobles, I have decided to halve the military expenditure allocated to Konoha Village starting this year."
"Until the past losses are made up, slowly change back to the original amount!"
Hiruzaru Sarutobi's face suddenly changed.
"No!"
"Your Excellency, the village is an important foundation of the country's military power, and the ninjas are the most important thing in defending the Land of Fire. Military expenditures must not be reduced!"
"Otherwise, the ninjas will not enjoy the allowances they deserve, and I am afraid it will have a huge impact on the Nation of Fire!"
The daimyo's complexion also changed, he snorted, and threw the stack of information over with his hands.
"Humph!"
"I think half of the military expenditure is enough for the allowances of the ninjas in Konoha Village!"
"It's just that you can get less oil and water from it!"
"Am I right?"
"Patriarch Sarutobi!"
The last four words, the daimyo of the country of fire, almost gritted his teeth, and squeezed out word by word from the gap between his teeth.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi was startled, he didn't care about Daimyo's yin and yang, he stretched out his hand to pick up the stack of information and swept it away, his expression changed drastically.
Lines of information about his misappropriation of military expenditures were completely recorded in familiar handwriting, and the disguise on Hiruzaru Sarutobi's body was bloody torn apart.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi trembled his beard, and fixed his gaze on Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru!"
"You actually used the power that the old man gave you to investigate the old man?"
"Is all this within your plan?"
"I have been plotting against this old man since four years ago, you are indeed my good disciple!"
A trace of disdain flashed in Dashemaru's eyes.
"From the moment you acquiesced to Danzo's attack on Naoki, you are no longer my teacher!"
"Naoshu is my disciple, Tsunade's younger brother, why are you so cruel?"
Hiruzaru Sarutobi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Natoki who was sitting on daimyo's hands, with a hint of bewilderment in his eyes.
"It turns out that it's all because of you!"
