Chapter 78: Exploded by debt, the Third Hokage’s attitude chills Tsunade!
"Elders, you may wish to think about why Tsunade-hime followed Hiko back to the village and lived in his house.
"I think this may be an opportunity for our Hyuga clan, but everything must be based on Uchiha being able to save himself."
Only when Uchiha can save himself can the cooperation between Hinata and Uchiha be achieved, otherwise everything will be empty talk.
Several elders also began to think deeply.
Uchiha's current situation is that he cannot save himself, but if everything is true as Yan said, then Uchiha can completely save himself.
When Uchiha escapes from the quagmire of the whirlpool, cooperation between the two families may not be impossible.
Although there is a certain degree of competition between the two families in certain industries, for large families like Hinata and Uchiha, this kind of industrial competition is nothing.
Deeper cooperation would be beneficial to both families.
The higher-ups are unhappy with Uchiha, and they won't be happy with Hinata either.
Uchiha's position may change with the change of Hokage, but Hinata's position will not change.
Therefore, every Hokage wants to dismantle Hinata's system.
"The question is, what about trust."
The great elder looked at the others:
"Cooperation can only be completed based on sufficient trust, and the trust between us and Uchiha is almost zero.
Even if we Hinata are willing to believe them and trust them, will Uchiha be willing? "
Without common interests to build enough trust, and both parties being on guard against each other, cooperation is futile.
"Yeah, we can't have a marriage with Uchiha."
Marriage?
This idea made several elders feel ridiculous.
How to build enough trust is indeed a big problem. Rizu thought about it and said:
"In this case, let's not mention this matter for now. We will discuss everything after Uchiha completes his own rescue."
Anyway, the Hyuga clan will not suffer.
If Uchiha wants to cooperate with Hinata, he must first pull himself out of the vortex.
At that time, Uchiha could sit down and discuss cooperation calmly.
Otherwise, cooperation is just empty talk.
Uchiha was busy saving himself, while Hinata was preparing to wait and see the situation.
The Hokage's office seemed quiet.
After Jiraiya came back, he took the initiative to come to the Hokage's office without any notice. The third Hokage was still very happy.
But when he learned that Tsunade destroyed a street, he couldn't calm down.
"so......."
The Third Hokage picked up his pipe with a headache, lit the cigarette, and took a few puffs to calm down his emotions:
"So, the destruction of the streets was all caused by Tsunade?"
"yes."
Jiraiya nodded awkwardly:
"Because she was stimulated by Hiko's words, Tsunade almost lost her mind and chased Hiko all the way. Fortunately, Hiko left outside the town, so the damage was not very serious. If she had stayed in the town, I'm afraid... ..”
Jiraiya didn't dare to think about that scene.
Tsunade, who was furious, would not stop because of other people's persuasion. Yan ran all the way out of the town, which was equivalent to reducing the damage.
If he took Tsunade for a few walks around the town, the town would probably be in even greater trouble.
"I have calculated carefully and the compensation is a lot of money."
If the money wasn't too much, Jiraiya would rather pay for it from his own pocket.
It's a pity that he was too naive. He made a lot of money, but the amount of debt was too large to cover it.
The Third Hokage smoked and said nothing, but Jiraiya knew that his good mood had turned bad. Originally, when Tsunade returned to the village, the Third Hokage was still very happy.
The matter in Daming Mansion can finally be properly resolved.
But now it seems that he thought too much.
Before the affairs of the Daming Mansion were settled, Tsunade came back with a big trouble.
A huge debt, the amount was so big that the Third Hokage had a headache just looking at it.
There was a shortage of money everywhere in the village, and the Third Hokage had no way of paying Tsunade to fill this big hole.
The reason why Jiraiya is so anxious to find the Third Hokage is also obvious, he just wants to give a hint:
Old man, can this problem be solved?
If you can handle it, it will be easier for Tsunade to help you.
After all, the debt that Tsunade now carries is too big, so big that it makes people's scalp numb.
"Oh, Jiraiya, I also want to help, but you also know the situation of the village. The Daming Palace's matter has not been solved. Without the funds of the Daming Palace, it will be difficult for the village to come up with such a large sum to fill Tsunade's salary. debt."
Perhaps he was so confused by this debt that the Third Hokage didn't notice the change in Jiraiya's expression.
We just talk about things, why are you winking?
The Third Hokage, who did not react, continued:
"As for the debt issue, I will think of a solution after the Daming Mansion matter is over. The most important thing now is to stabilize Tsunade, as the Daming Mansion matter still requires her to come forward."
It is worth thinking about how to think of a solution and how to think of a solution.
The Third Hokage believed that Jiraiya understood what he meant, but the other person still kept blinking.
What's going on with you today?
Everything about him felt wrong.
However, before the Third Hokage could speak, the office door was pushed open.
Oh haha! ! !
When did Tsunade come?
Could it be... The Third Hokage's heart sank.
Jiraiya just kept winking at him, which meant that Tsunade was here. Let's not talk about this for now, so as not to make Tsunade unhappy.
The Third Hokage, on the other hand, didn't react at all. He was still worried about the debt and spoke out the ambiguous words in his mind.
He was just afraid that Jiraiya would keep bothering him and asking him to solve the debt problem.
Turns out Tsunade heard it.
As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
When these words fell into Tsunade's ears, it became:
The debt is too huge and I cannot afford it. Spending money is needed everywhere in the village. It is difficult for Tsunade to pay off her debt. If the debt cannot be paid off, she must also pay for it.
Comparing the attitude of the Third Hokage with that of Uchiha, it's like heaven and earth.
On the one hand, there are various pushbacks and various difficulties.
But on the other side, with a wave of your hand, we've covered it all. Not only are you covered for your loss debts, but you're even covered for your gambling debts. Are you satisfied?
That's the difference.
"Tsunade, why are you here?"
Jiraiya smiled and said Haha, and rubbed his hands happily:
"I'm so happy to have you back."
"While we were on the road, I was worried that you would run away."
"What makes you happy when I come back?"
Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya angrily, and Tsunade's tone was a bit off-putting. Sensing this, Jiraiya secretly thought: Kuya! !
Seeing this, Jiraiya shrunk his neck and did not dare to say a word. He cast a helpless look at the Third Hokage:
Old man, you should deal with the trouble you caused yourself. I can't help you.
The Third Hokage also knew how much fun it was.
He put down the pipe speechlessly, secretly regretting it. If only he had reacted faster, he was getting old, he was really getting old.
"Tsunade, I don't mean to refuse. It's just that the Ministry of Finance is really in trouble and the village has insufficient fund turnover..."
