Senju Hashirama thought: Fortunately... Tobirama is my younger brother, otherwise, I would really want to beat him up. But then again, if it weren't for my elder brother, Tobirama wouldn't be so annoying... Ahem, that's not right,

Strong.

Um……

Even if he succeeded in attracting a lot of hatred from Tobirama in order to protect him well, he would still have to work hard to live a few more years.

Coincidentally, others also judged one thing from Senju Hashirama's attitude, that is, Senju Hashirama's "impression" of them has undoubtedly deteriorated - before their dangerous temptation. If not,

At this moment, I will not smile and say nothing.

Since the last Five Shadows Conference, each village has been quietly developing for several years. To say that it is short of money, the funds are definitely not enough at any time, but to say that it is impossible to come up with money to repay debts, that is undoubtedly impossible.

.

Moreover, "It is natural to pay back debts." They violated the agreement, and it was reasonable for Konoha to ask for the final payment. There was no need to be unreasonable and unwilling to give in at the beginning. So, after some wrangling, each village

The condition of "paying off the remaining balance within this year" should be made.

Seeing that the villagers agreed to this matter, Senju Hashirama's mood was somewhat complicated. In fact, he would rather hope that they would rather die than surrender and would rather return the tailed beast. This is also... the inner desire of the nine lamas, right? Unfortunately, it's probably

It's impossible. For the current stability of the ninja world, it's impossible for him to suddenly go back on his word and pursue all the tailed beasts.

"The following is another thing -" Senju Hashirama folded his sleeves and said with a smile, "As we all know, after the end of last year, there were some minor conflicts between Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village."

Now, in addition to the second-generation Kazekage Samana, the theatergoers also had a second-generation Mizukage, Ghost Lantern, Hanazuki. At that time, he actually thought about confronting his old enemy Mu Hedge. However, the Kingdom of Water was indeed too far away from the mainland.

By the time he remembered this, Wu had already finished hedging with Ai.

"Yes." The second Tsuchikage Mu nodded, "But this matter has been resolved under Konoha's 'mediation'."

As for the details of the mediation, he didn't want to mention it.

The same goes for the Second Raikage.

It was also from that time that Konoha's second Wood Releaser officially appeared before their eyes. Konoha's originally slightly precarious position was gradually stabilized again.

Thinking of this, the four Kages and their followers all looked at the girl standing behind Senju Hashirama with somewhat complicated expressions——

This is a treasure that everyone wants.

However, she fell from the sky and landed in Konoha.

The luck of Konoha and the luck of Senju Hashirama are indeed difficult to predict using common sense.

"Ahem!" Senju Hashirama coughed with his fists in his hands, and directed the eyes of these people back to him - it's a meeting, it's a meeting, why are you looking at other people's wives? He said, "Indeed, this matter

It was resolved at the end of last year. However, the mediation fees from Yunyin Village and Yanyin Village have not been paid, right?"

"...Huh?" x2

The second Raikage and the second Tsuchikage were a little confused.

This time, the person who spoke was a girl. She looked around at everyone and said: "According to the agreement reached at the last Five Shadows Conference, all villages should work together to work together for the peace and stability of the ninja world. However, the contract

It did not mention clearly that if there is a conflict between the four villages, Konoha will mediate unconditionally. In other words," she raised her eyebrows, "Konoha was invited to mediate before, which is equivalent to Kumogakure and Iwagakure.

Together we issued a mission to Konoha, and regardless of the people behind the scenes who were serving this mission, the only people who were on the mission at that time were Tobirama, me, and..." She quickly reported a list of people, basically all of them.

He is a well-known in the ninja world and is a strong soldier belonging to Konoha. "In short, saying that this mission is super S-level is actually a bit low. Of course, considering that the current highest level of the mission is super-S, then Konoha will be a little bit embarrassed."

Some losses were calculated according to this standard to show off style. We made a list for this -" As she said this, she took out a scroll from her sleeve, placed it on the five-square table, and slowly unfolded it.

, "The final reward for the task is almost this amount."

The other people's eyes suddenly looked a little weird, and they thought: Senju Hashirama, what's going on with your relatives? You carry a small account book with you anytime and anywhere, right?

There is no doubt that the behavior of the girl and the silver-haired man are exactly the same.

Qianshou Feijian curled up the corners of his mouth slightly, feeling very satisfied.

"...Hokage-sama," the second-generation Raikage said with a toothache, "Do you Konoha have such a shortage now?" The reward for a super S-level mission is more than one million taels, and the amount of reward listed by Konoha is

It's 10 million taels. It seems very high at first glance, but if you pay it on a village basis, it's actually not very high.

"This is not a question of whether there is a shortage or not." Senju Hashirama replied seriously, "it is a question of rules and principles. Without rules, there is no rule. Since you invited Konoha to go on a mission to help mediate, you did not pay any compensation afterwards.

, this is not a good thing. In the long run, the mission system that has been finally established may be affected."

The second-generation Tsuchikage Mutsuya had a toothache: My dear, who wants to default on the bill? They obviously don’t know about the existence of this bill, right?

Moreover, what happened to Konoha?

In the past, I wasn’t so fussy about everything.

Holding a five-film convention just for “professional debt collection”?

...that's not the case.

Thinking of this, he and the Second Raikage looked at each other. After a moment, they both nodded and said, "No problem. Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village will pay half of this money together with the remaining amount of the tailed beast."

To Konoha."

"That's the best." A warm smile suddenly appeared on Senju Hashirama's face, and he said in a good mood, "That's right. Then this matter is settled." It seems that indeed,

Like a sincere person...

Debt collector.

His reputation of "losing every bet" is basically known to everyone present.

If he hadn't known it was impossible, he would have almost suspected that the Hokage-sama owed a large debt to a gambling shop somewhere and was planning to use this "money extorted" to repay the debt.

"It's already noon before I know it," Senju Hashirama looked at the sunshine outside and asked in a good manner, "Everyone, would you like to have lunch and rest for a while, or move on to the next topic?"

"Go on, Hokage-sama." The second generation Mizukage Demon Lantern said. He really wanted to know what kind of medicine the other party was selling in the gourd. Although, he would rather the other party was just "collecting debts", after all, he could do it with money.

The problem solved is not a big problem for them. But, how is it possible? If Senju Hashirama was really such a man, they wouldn't be so afraid of Konoha.

"Second."

"I agree too."

"Agree."

The Second Kazekage, the Second Tsuchikage and the Second Raikage also said the same thing. Anyone who can become a "kage" is a powerful ninja, so what is a meal without food? In the past, it was common to go without food for a day or two when going on a mission.

Already.

"In that case..." Senju Hashirama stretched out his hands that had been gathered in his sleeves and pressed him gently on the table. To be honest, this action was very gentle, but the rest of the villagers showed a little bit of it.

The uneasy expression seemed to indicate some irresistible momentum. The owner of this momentum, who had been in good temper since the beginning of the meeting, said with a smile, "Should we consider how to prevent the situation just now?"

What happened?"

"...that thing?"

"Yes, that matter." Senju Hashirama nodded, "The situation in the ninja world had always been stable, but the conflict between Kumogakure and Iwagakure suddenly broke out, and it was finally resolved with the mediation of Konoha.

The process also involved some small countries and villages, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it alarmed the entire ninja world. Although this matter has been resolved, its impact, in my opinion, is very bad. It also made me clearly understand

I realized one thing—" He leaned back slightly, leaned on the back of the large wooden chair, looked around at everyone, and said slowly, "We must take measures to prevent this from happening again."

The scene suddenly fell silent.

After a while...

The Second Kazekage Samana slowly spoke: "What does the Hokage mean?"

"First," Senju Hashirama held out a finger, "It is indeed impossible to completely eliminate friction between countries and villages. However, before it evolves into a conflict, it can be mediated through mediation.

To solve it. Thanks to the trust of Kumogakure and Iwagakure, Konoha is very willing to be an arbiter in the future. However, in order to reduce the trouble, if similar things happen again, I would like to ask you to send someone to Konoha, and

We are not required to leave the village to solve the problem."

"Secondly," Senju Hashirama held out a second finger, "If there are rules, there should naturally be punishments. What kind of punishment should be given to villages that violate the agreement and have conflicts or even fights without permission? Everyone needs to work together.

Let’s discuss it.”

"Third," Senju Hashirama held out a third finger, "After the development of each village over the years, the originally divided boundaries have been blurred unconsciously. For example, in terms of territory, trade and other matters, we should take this opportunity to

, why not sort it out a little more carefully?”

After finishing speaking, he slowly put down the hand that held up three fingers, looked around everyone with a smile, and said in a gentle yet powerful tone: "Everyone, what do you think?"

The rest: "..."

They thought with complicated emotions: I understand, you Senju Hashirama are finally not satisfied with continuing to play the "Peace of the Ninja World" game. You want to ride on top of us and become the emperor.

After another long silence...

The second-generation Mizukage Ghost Demon Moon said: "Hokage-sama, is there something wrong?" At this moment, only he can say this. After all, the Kirigakure Village of the Water Country is far away from the Fire Country Konohagakure.

The village is the furthest away. Normally, as long as Konoha's brains are not broken, they will not go out of their way to attack and capture them just because of a temporary dispute of words.

"Oh?" Senju Hashirama asked with a good attitude, "Mizukage, what's wrong?"

"Isn't this proposal somewhat in conflict with the final agreement reached at the first Five Shadows Conference?" Ghost Lantern Huanyue said, "With all due respect, if the conclusion of the previous meeting is overturned at this meeting, then this 'Five Shadows Conference'

', is there really any meaning to its existence?" Wouldn't it be more appropriate to just call it "Konoha Conference"?

"How could it be?" Senju Hashirama replied with a smile, "It should be said on the other hand, that this agreement is a 'check for gaps' in the last agreement, right? It is precisely because there were some flaws in the last agreement,

Only then will the previous things happen. And what we have to do now is to make up for it."

The second generation Kazekage sneered: "So, Konoha should take the lead in checking and filling the gaps?"

"Otherwise?" Senju Hashirama asked, "If you have any dissatisfaction or want to recommend yourself, it is completely fine. Konoha is never afraid of any fair competition."

"What about the method of competition?" the second Tsuchikage asked.

Senju Hashirama smiled: "The Tsuchikage is just kidding, we are ninjas."

Since you are a ninja, if you refuse to talk well and insist on "talking the worst", then naturally, you have to "talk bad" in the ninja way.

He is fearless.

What about them?

threaten?
