Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Hokage is Money Hungry
In short, the deal is simple: the more Kumogakure Village pays, the more effort Konohagakure will put in!
Don't bring up anything else; that won't help us!
We in Konohagakure are very practical!
We just want the money; we don't want anything else!
We're not even interested in the so-called Sage Eyes.
As long as the money is right, everything else is negotiable.
"....."
Is Konohagakure really caught up in money?
After the negotiations began, Raikage felt speechless.
Because Konohagakure's attitude was clear: as long as the money was right, they didn't want anything else.
"What a bunch of vampires!!"
To get Konohagakure to side with Kumogakure Village and support it, Kumogakure Village really put out a lot.
Even though the village had plenty of money, Raikage still felt a bit of a pinch.
"Well then, I'll leave the rest to you. When the time comes, the village will send a message."
"Raikage can rest assured about this. Once we at Konohagakure take the money, we won't joke with our reputation.
Once other villages respond, Konohagakure will definitely stand up to support Kumogakure Village."
"Let's hope so."
After giving Yan a deep look, Raikage left with his group. As for the money, Kumogakure Village would send someone over.
After seeing Raikage and his group off outside the village, Yan said to Tsunade:
"Are you satisfied now? The village's finances can ease up a bit."
"It would be even better if we could get a little more."
Tsunade seemed somewhat unsatisfied. Ultimately, it was still too much of a burden for Konohagakure; it's impossible to fill such a deep hole all at once.
They could only do it bit by bit. Fortunately, the results were already showing.
You're the one who's obsessed with money, Tsunade!
I'm just the scapegoat.
Feeling speechless, Yan didn't want to talk to Tsunade and turned to head back to the village, but Tsunade followed him:
"Do you think the village will suffer a big loss by giving up Amegakure Village's interests?"
To be honest, the village got a large amount of development funding, so giving up Amegakure Village's interests isn't such a big deal.
Tsunade was just worried that Amegakure Village's interests might be tempting, and Konohagakure would end up losing out.
"You're overthinking it. Amegakure Village and the Akatsuki don't have much profit for you to scheme over."
They're struggling just to make ends meet, so why would they wait for you to share the profits?
That's just wishful thinking!
As for any solid benefits, like the Rinnegan they might get, that's even more of a fantasy.
Let's not even mention if Nagato will hold onto Amegakure Village. Even if he does, getting the Rinnegan won't be easy.
Obito and Black Zetsu could let Nagato stir things up, but when it really matters, they will definitely control him.
Even if they can't revive Uchiha Madara, they will take the Rinnegan at the first opportunity.
By then, the only thing left of value might just be Nagato's corpse.
But Yan believed that Black Zetsu and Obito wouldn't easily abandon Nagato's body.
Because there are too many secrets to uncover from the body.
Obito, who has turned dark, might not care, but Black Zetsu won't let any secrets slip out.
"This brat is becoming more and more annoying!!!"
Tsunade realized that Yan's ability to get under her skin was growing stronger by the day.
It was ironic, but Yan's skills were indeed impressive, helping her solve a lot of problems.
Promoting Yan to the position of Hokage advisor was indeed a wise choice.
"Do you need a reward?"
Where there are achievements, there should be rewards. Isn't Uchiha always interested in the Book of Seals?
Tsunade thought she could let Yan take a look at the Book of Seals.
She wasn't like the third Hokage, who would casually show it to others.
Only someone with enough merit would get that chance.
Well, Yan had just secured a large sum of funds for the village, so Tsunade felt she could be a bit flexible regarding the conditions for Uchiha.
"Reward?"
Yan hadn't really thought about what kind of reward he wanted.
Mainly, he didn't really need anything right now, and he wasn't very interested in the Book of Seals.
Stopping in his tracks, he looked over at Tsunade, confused about why she suddenly brought it up.
As Yan paused, Tsunade did too.
With her arms crossed and her head held high, her long, fair neck was visible, and her curves were even more noticeable with her hands in front of her.
Curiously, Yan looked at her; only Samui could compare. Red was not quite as gifted in that department.
"...."
Tsunade, with her arms crossed and a smile waiting for Yan to make a request, noticed that he didn't speak and instead looked down at her chest, causing her smile to vanish instantly.
She recalled some unpleasant things.
"Hey, don't go too far, kid!"
Thinking about those embarrassing moments made Tsunade lose her composure, and she clenched her fists:
"I haven't even given you trouble for last time, and now you want more? And you've got Kurenai and your little fiancée—aren't you satisfied staring at me?"
"...."
What the hell are you talking about?
Haven't I seen women before?
Why would I stare at you? At your age, don't you have some self-awareness?
Yan looked at her with clear disdain:
"You're the one acting all high and mighty and blaming me for looking? Besides, I have a girlfriend, so why would I stare at an old lady like you? I... wait, a gentleman uses words, not violence, you know? Fighting is so rude."
"Let's see if we fight first!!!"
"Old lady?"
Those two words shattered Tsunade's patience, and she clenched her fists, charging at him.
"Boom!!!"
A loud sound echoed through the forest, shaking the ground.
Yan looked at the cracking earth and swallowed hard; that stomp was quite powerful.
"Uchiha Yan, you better stop!"
"Auntie, we're not on a date."
"....."
He ran, and she chased!
The two of them rushed back to the village, and wherever they went, there was chaos everywhere.
Once they got back to the village, Tsunade finally calmed down a bit, but she couldn't hide her murderous glare at one person.
"Ah, this..."
Shizune didn't know how it happened, but Tsunade looked at Yan like he was the enemy who killed her father.
Did Yan get on Hokage-sama's nerves again?
"Hokage-sama, your budget is tight, so please don't go throwing punches in the village. Otherwise, I'll have a hard time. You have to pay for any damages."
The Hokage isn't all-powerful; at least, if she loses her temper and breaks something, she has to cover the costs.
Just one sentence from Shizune managed to cool Tsunade down.
Being poor is one thing, but taking on debt would just make things worse.
"Shizune, help me out here! Our Hokage-sama is actually accusing me of being after her body. Do I need to be after her body?"
Yan pulled Shizune in front of him, raising an eyebrow at Tsunade, daring her to come at him.
"Eh?"
Shizune's eyes widened. "Hokage-sama, how could you say such a thing to Yan?"
"I..."
You two must be in cahoots, right?
Tsunade almost spat blood in frustration.
Who raised you, anyway?
