Chapter 180 If not, go complain to the Second Hokage?
"I'm so full!"
Naruto came out of the barbecue restaurant, patted his round belly, and looked satisfied.
"Hehe, kid, you can really eat! You actually ate so much meat. You won't have an upset stomach tonight after eating so much meat, will you?"
Tetsuya teased Naruto, whose belly had become noticeably rounder.
"Don't worry, big brother, my body is super strong, I definitely won't get an upset stomach, my friend."
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something else.
"Okay, except for the time I drank expired milk."
"Tsk, kid, don't drink expired milk anymore. Here, in the middle of this street, there's a shop with the Chiba logo. Go get some milk if you want."
"Really? Big brother, you're so kind to me."
"Alright kid, I have something to do, so I'll be going now. If you don't have anything to do, don't wander around outside, go home quickly."
Naruto thought about it and realized it was indeed time to go home. He was feeling sleepy after eating and needed to get some rest.
"Okay, then goodbye, big brother."
Goodbye, kid.
Naruto waved and ran towards his home.
Tetsuya kept looking at Naruto until he turned and disappeared into the alley before he looked away.
He wasn't just looking at Naruto, but also at his own past memories.
"Hmm, I've been in Konoha for a day now. The delegation from the Land of Lightning should arrive tomorrow or the day after. Hehehe, Neji, are you ready to face this cruel fate?"
Tetsuya laughed and walked towards his villa in Konoha.
Just as he had predicted, the delegation from Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning arrived two days later.
Leading the team were those two idiot ninjas, Yeruka and Yurubi, who are now high-ranking members of the Hidden Cloud Village.
After becoming high-ranking members, the two developed the aura of those in power, and as ninjas who had fought on the front lines, they were also filled with a chilling aura.
Just standing there, he gave off a feeling that he was up to no good.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was greeting the delegation, saw the two men frown, he knew that they were probably up to no good.
This negotiation may not proceed smoothly, but for the development of Konoha and for the peace of the ninja world, even some sacrifices are worthwhile.
"Welcome, envoys from Kumogakure, I am Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of Konoha."
Yeluka couldn't help but tease the aged Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"The Third Hokage? Wasn't it already the Fourth Hokage? Oh, the Fourth Hokage is gone."
"Yeluka, be careful about the impact!"
Ruby nudged Yeruka with his elbow. Although he was scolding him, the smile on his face never faded. Clearly, they had conspired from the beginning to give Konoha a hard time.
Upon hearing someone mention the Fourth Hokage who sacrificed himself for Konoha, many people began to look at the Kumogakure delegation with hostility.
At the same time, many people looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with some dissatisfaction, and most of these people were from various ninja clans.
"I apologize, Third Hokage. My brother here is a bit straightforward and speaks without thinking. I hope you won't take it to heart."
Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled, showing no sign of displeasure despite being a seasoned political veteran.
"Hehe, it's alright. You guests have come from afar and must be tired. We have prepared rooms for you to rest in. Please go and rest for a while. There will be a welcome banquet for you later."
"Haha, alright then we won't stand on ceremony with you, Third Hokage."
"Please don't be shy, everyone."
The Cloud Village delegation, led by Hiruzen Sarutobi, entered Konoha.
This negotiation is destined to be difficult, and the people of Konoha are prepared for a protracted battle.
Even though they are prepared to pay some price, it doesn't mean they don't intend to gain as much benefit as possible.
At the Hatake residence, Tetsuya and Sakumo Hatake were drinking together. Kakashi had gone on a mission and wouldn't be back for at least four or five days.
"The Cloud Shadow delegation has arrived. What do you think?"
Sakumo Hatake curled his lip.
"What else can I watch? I'll just sit and watch."
"What do you mean you're just sitting here watching? You're the White Fang of Konoha, I don't believe you can't see anything."
Shuo Mao took a sip of his drink and said.
"Konoha's White Fang is dead. I am now Saiki Sagumo, White Fang's senior brother."
"Haha, you're really open-minded. You said you wouldn't care, and you really mean it."
Seeing that Sakumo seemed completely uninterested in Konoha's troubles, Tetsuya found it amusing.
"Why should I care? You know what? Our Hatake family's businesses are gone. Where do you think they went?"
Hearing Sakumo's words, which were clearly tinged with complaint, Tetsuya shrugged.
"Konoha, you're really capable. By the way, I don't think I've told you yet."
Tell me what?
Tetsuya smiled and said.
"I've resurrected the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and he's in the Land of Grass now. Since you're so dissatisfied with the current state of Konoha, why don't you take some time to go to the Land of Grass and complain to Tobirama?"
"The second generation has also been resurrected."
Sakumo was somewhat surprised, but he quickly accepted it.
After all, he had already witnessed the resurrected Uchiha Izuna when he was in the Land of Grass.
There's nothing wrong with reviving a Second Hokage now.
"But let's forget about it. Even if we say something to the Second Hokage, the end result will only be to annoy him. There will be no point in doing anything else."
"You do know how to be considerate."
Tetsuya shook his head as he recalled how furious Tobirama was when he saw Konoha's foolish decisions and actions.
"Konoha is likely to suffer heavy losses in this negotiation."
"That's inevitable."
Sakumo poured himself another glass of wine, then filled Tetsuya's glass before speaking.
"If it were before, when Minato was still alive, the negotiations might have gone very smoothly. But now, Minato is dead, and a large number of Konoha's elite ninjas also died in the Nine-Tails' attack."
The Hidden Leaf Village is currently extremely weak internally. Given this, when faced with the bandit-like Hidden Cloud Village, the two sides are on an unequal footing from the very beginning. How could they possibly negotiate amicably?
"Hehehe, you're right, but the massive bleeding I was referring to isn't that."
At the Konoha Inn, in the Cloud Shadow's rest area, Ruby and Yeluka are leading the Cloud Shadow members in a meeting.
"Have you gotten the information?"
"We've already investigated thoroughly; we've covered most of the situation with the Hyuga clan."
“Very good. Once the negotiation meeting begins, we will start implementing the plan.”
"understand!"
