Jiraiya opened the door to the Hokage's office. Inside the room, Konoha's top brass had been waiting for a long time.

In front of the fifth generation Tsunade-hime's desk, there are two letters of different styles.

The style of one of the letters was very familiar to Jiraiya. It was an urgent cipher message from the border. Generally speaking, the appearance of such an envelope meant that war was coming.

Outside the door, an ANBU ninja closed the door. On the other side of the door, another ANBU ninja carefully observed the movements around him.

"What happened?" Jiraiya asked.

"Urgent document for the western defensive line." Tsunade-hime pointed to the letter on the left.

"This is Sunagakure Maki's interrogation document." She pointed to the letter on the right.

"What's the question?" Jiraiya was confused. Didn't the two sides just conclude an alliance treaty?

Sunagakure has a seizure again?

Or have you united with that ninja village again and become a faction?

"Have they elected the fifth Kazekage?" he asked.

"Although I also doubt the new Kazekage they selected, judging from the spies' intelligence, there is no such thing." Tsunade crossed her hands and placed her smooth chin.

"Maki asked, why do we use Jinchuuriki in the Kingdom of Wind?"

"..." Jiraiya opened his mouth, could this be the legendary 'black pot'?

Although they have not yet made a public statement, the defection of the Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Naruto has long been an established fact.

Use jinchūriki in the Land of Wind?

What a joke.

Even if they really use Jinchuuriki, why don't they use it in Sunagakure Village?

"Humph, Princess Tsunade, I have said before that Konoha has never had any need to form alliances with other ninja villages!" Danzo Shimura put his hands on his crutches and hummed.

"The alliance treaty is a joke from beginning to end."

"The prosperity of Ninja Village depends on its own strength!"

"..." Tsunade heard this and bit her lower lip lightly with her jade teeth.

In this matter, she was indeed in the wrong.

At the beginning of her succession, not long after Sunagakure launched the plan to collapse Konoha, many senior Konoha officials, including Koharu and Mito Kaden, believed that Konoha should launch a war against Sunagakure and use Sunagakure's power.

Blood washes away Konoha's shame.

It was she who, with the authority of the Hokage, suppressed this voice.

Together with Maji of Sunagakure, they jointly promoted the conclusion of the alliance treaty between the two sides.

Originally, neither Konoha, which had just been conquered by Sunagakure, nor Sunagakure, who had lost the Fourth Kazekage, were suitable for launching a war. The conclusion of the alliance treaty was a reflection of maximizing the interests of both parties.

It was precisely based on this that she was able to suppress Konoha's voice of war on her own.

But now, Sunagakure suddenly made such a move. Not long after the alliance treaty was concluded, a large number of troops were deployed at the border of the Land of Fire.

How does this make her face those Konoha ninjas who believe in her?

"Is the situation in Konoha suitable for launching a war?" Jiraiya asked.

Is this old bastard Danzo treating his existence as nothing?

"Hmph!" Shimura Danzo said disdainfully, "The relationship between villages is determined by interests, not by a few fingerprints on paper."

"You who have experienced two ninja wars should know this truth very well, right?"

"Precisely because we have experienced two ninja wars, we should cherish the hard-won peace now, and let peace and stability enrich Konoha, isn't it good?" Jiraiya retorted.

"That's ridiculous!" Shimura Danzo was about to continue to retort.

boom!

Tsunade slapped her right hand heavily on the table, stopping him from continuing to speak.

"enough!"

"The most urgent task is to find out why there are jinchūriki in the Kingdom of Wind? And why does Sunagakure suspect this matter on us?" Tsunade shouted angrily.

"Duanzo, do you know something?" She turned to look at the old man sitting on the sofa and asked.

This guy was the first one to rush into her office. If he didn't know some inside information, this old bastard would never have appeared in front of her in such a hurry.

"..."

Hearing this, many high-level officials in Konoha also cast suspicious eyes on Shimura Danzo.

This guy is full of bad intentions. If something goes wrong in Konoha, he will definitely be involved.

Especially Nara Shikaku, he clearly remembered that this guy borrowed a clan member from him not long ago.

Hideki's talent is one of the best even in Nara.

There are many people who have the idea to combine the sealing technique with the shadow imitation technique, but the one who has really achieved some results is that kid.

Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Shimura Danzo hummed softly and told the information he knew:

"The last location where the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Naruto appeared is in the Kingdom of Wind."

"Where are the others now?" Jiraiya's expression changed slightly and he asked quickly.

He didn't think that this guy who had always coveted the position of Hokage, knowing the position of the Jinchuuriki, would be trying to persuade the child to abandon his past grudges and return to Konoha.

"I don't know." After Shimura Danzo finished speaking, he closed his exposed one eye.

Seeing this, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Danzo, the old Yinbi, is a bit of a jerk, he also has his own pride. If he had really captured the Jinchūriki, he would have already launched a charge to become the Hokage.

"You are responsible for border defense." Tsunade said to Shimura Danzo. The relationship between the two parties was not harmonious, so she did not need to leave any room for words.

She had long wanted to get rid of this old Yinbi, but she never had the chance.

Now that she was coming with all her strength, she didn't believe that old bastard Danzo dared to refuse.

As long as he dared to refuse, she would dare to resign from his post of minister.

In fact, Tsunade still hopes that the old guy will refuse this appointment. She has wanted to solve this cancer at the root of it a long time ago.

Tenya Danzo who has lost his roots is like a tiger who has lost its sharp teeth. It will be much easier to deal with him then.

"Yes, in the whole of Konoha, I am indeed the most suitable." Danzo Shimura nodded slightly, as if he had anticipated her appointment.

Nowadays, in the huge Konoha, apart from him, only the fifth generation Tsunade Hime and Jiraiya are qualified to serve as commanders of the Western Front.

But the two of them, Tsunade, who is the Fifth Hokage, cannot go into battle together unless at the last moment; and if something unexpected happens to Jiraiya on the front line, Tsunade will be alone in the future.

If Tsunade had any sense, she would not let Jiraiya go.

As he said, among the remaining senior officials in Konoha, he is the most suitable person to serve as a commander on the front lines.

"Please." Tsunade said, despite her political victory, she couldn't be happy.

Looking back on the cause, we can see that the border between the Country of Fire and the Country of Wind is in a critical situation now, and her kindness indeed bears a great responsibility.

"What do you mean?" Shimura Danzo said dissatisfied, "Although I am the leader of the Roots, I am also a ninja of Konoha. I hope you understand this!!"

"...I understand." Tsunade was stunned for a long time after hearing this.

Compared with these bastards, her understanding is indeed narrow.
