While the people on the small boat were gossiping, the situation on the other side was not idle either.
The Hokage Building.
The messenger of the Fire Daimyo rushed over early in the morning and refused to rest for a moment, bluntly asking to see the Hokage.
Poor Tsunade drank a lot with Jiraiya last night, and when she had a headache, she had to get up from the bed and go to see the fat messenger.
It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that he's fat, but fat is a bit of an exaggeration. It can only be said that the messenger's body shape is slightly fat, not ball-shaped, but slightly bloated.
A pair of cunning fox-like eyes rolled around, quietly looking at Tsunade and Shizune, who was standing on the side, without showing any signs of panic.
Seeing this, Tsunade's heart moved slightly, this silly guy doesn't seem to be that simple.
Although she seems to be busy with the alliance with the Mist recently, it doesn't mean that she relaxed her control of the Land of Fire. The conflict between the Hokage and the Utsunomiya family didn't escape her eyes from the beginning, including Aoyama's actions later.
Last night, she received the news that Utsunomiya Fujino came to Kiba alive, and then Aoyama was smart enough to send this hot potato outside the village. At that time, she expected that the Hokage wouldn't sit still, but she didn't expect him to disturb her sleep so early in the morning.
"Hokage-sama, the Hokage hopes that the Ninja Village and the nobles can continue to not interfere with each other. The one country, one village system is the foundation of the first Hokage's establishment. We can't destroy our foundation! Otherwise, the efforts of the First Hokage and the Second Hokage would be wasted. "
The emissary said bitterly. He almost burst into tears to express his grief.
"What Aiguchi Geika has done has long exceeded his duty. Originally, Konoha's Daimyo tolerated him because he is a rare genius of Konoha. But now, he is helping Fujino, a traitor. Even if Konoha's Daimyo is kind, I can't stand it anymore. I ask Hokage-Sama to order him to hand over the traitors of the Utsunomiya Clan, so that Konoha can let bygones be bygones."
Bastard!
Tsunade cursed in her heart. After all, it's difficult to understand the complicated relationship between ninjas. Status and power are just foreign things for ninjas. Their own strength is where their confidence lies.
Putting aside the fact that he was Aoyama's Root Chief and Danzō's disciple, the real reason why he was able to stand at the top of Kiba was because of his shocking strength. His peerless strength was the biggest reason why people feared him.
Even though she was the Hokage, she didn't want to force Aoyama. She didn't want to force him to be like Orochi Maru, or even more dangerous. After all, Aoyama wasn't the same as Sakumo. He wasn't someone who didn't abide by the rules, and she didn't want to crush him with the rules.
That's how the world works. When you have the power to break the balance and break the rules, you are a bigger rule.
Tsunade obviously understood this truth. In the past, Hashirama and Madara used violence to overthrow the original rules and established new rules, creating the current structure of the ninja world.
"I will deal with this matter, but hand over Utsunomiya Fujino. If you don't have evidence that Aoyama is harboring Utsunomiya Fujino, I can't force him to hand over Utsunomiya Fujino." Tsunade said calmly.
As a qualified Hokage, she naturally distinguishes between the interests of Kiba and the Fire Daimyo. The two built the Land of Fire, but it doesn't mean that their interests are exactly the same.
His face changed, showing a trace of panic. He didn't expect Tsunade to give such a perfunctory answer. This is completely wrong.
"But Hokage-sama, the nobles are in charge of the civil affairs, and the ninjas are in charge of the war. This is the rule set by your ancestors and the first daimyo. Tsuka Aoyama is destroying the foundation of Kiba Village!"
Although she was a little panicked, she didn't lose her mind. Instead, she played the sympathy card. Tsunade was indeed a little hesitant.
However, Tsunade's hesitation was only for a moment. If she really forced Aoyama, then Kiba would be in turmoil. Root was such a big force. Once chaos broke out, the damage caused would be no less than Orochi Maru's invasion. There is one more thing. Although it has been said many times, it is the most important thing.
That is, who in Kiba can be the opponent of Aoyama? Jiraiya admitted that his chance of winning against Aoyama was very low. Even with her, the two of them together, the chance of winning was less than 50%.
Without the strength to punish the other party, shouting to teach him a lesson would only bring shame to herself. She wouldn't do such an idiotic thing. Besides, although Aoyama's actions were a little unpredictable, he didn't harm the interests of the village. On the contrary, he led Root to contribute a lot. The village could recover to its current level now, and Aoyama's contribution was indispensable.
Looking at the messenger who was looking at her, Tsunade sighed. She still cared about the friendship between Yuyan Gong and Senju. After thinking for a while, she said, "For the sake of Yuyan Gong, I can only tell you … Tsuka Aoyama is an extremely arrogant strong man. Don't think that he is a genius who hasn't grown up yet. Now, even I … can't replace him. Do you understand?"
After hearing Tsunade's words, the messenger's eyelids didn't even twitch. Instead, he calmed down, silently wiped the sweat on his face, put away the handkerchief, and then bowed to Tsunade.
"Thank you for telling me the truth, Hokage-sama. I still have to go to Yuan Fei's house, so I will take my leave now."
The fat messenger walked out calmly without any panic. He quickly left the Hokage Building and headed towards the Sarutobi Clan's residence.
Standing in front of the window for a long time, Tsunade stared at the white fat figure disappearing at the corner of the street, then she turned around. "Shizune, go find Asuma and tell him about this matter. It's best if the Sarutobi family doesn't intervene. If they can't dissuade him, at least let him and Konoha Maru stay out of it."
"Yes!"
Shizune who had been quietly standing by the side answered, but didn't leave immediately.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else? "Tsunade looked at Shizune.
"Um … Tsunade-sama, don't you think Fire Daimyo will win?" Shizune couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.
"Yes, Yuyan Gong's house has no chance of winning." Tsunade's answer was very direct and firm.
Jingyin was confused and frowned. "But … he's a famous celebrity."
