No matter what the senior leaders of the four great ninja villages think in their hearts, this cannot change the outcome.

Soon, the envoys to various ninja villages returned to Konoha one after another, and the replies they brought were all in agreement.

Even if you want to disagree, you can't. If other ninja villages agree and you end up being isolated, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Although because of Konoha's transcendent strength, theoretically the other four ninja villages should try to maintain the same stance.

But in fact, the other four major ninja villages have no diplomatic contacts. At such a juncture, everyone can only make the choice that best suits their own interests.

"I knew they would definitely agree, hahahahaha..."

In the Hokage's office, Hanzo was chatting and laughing with several elders.

Of course, the "several people" here do not include the three members of the Uchiha clan.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that Hanzo didn't want them to come, it was Madara himself who didn't want to come. In order to show their support for the clan leader, Izuna and Kazuya had to find an excuse to evade.

Hanzo also generously expressed his "understanding" and told the two of them that they did not need to attend today's high-level meeting.

After joking, Hashirama began to ask questions about the tailed beasts: "Hanzo, what are you going to do with these eight tailed beasts? It may not be difficult for us in Konoha to find eight ninjas suitable for sealing the tailed beasts, but we want to think about the world.

It’s not easy to find them for every generation.”

As soon as Hashirama said something, Hanzo also started thinking.

It is true that tailed beasts are easy to catch, but the selection of Jinchuuriki is a big problem. Even if the Uzumaki clan is an ally of Konoha, does Konoha have to ask Uzushio Village for a large number of talented ninjas in every generation? Even if it does, it can

How to ensure the loyalty of these ninjas?

In addition, Hanzo also knew very well that not everyone in the ninja world had ideas about tailed beasts. If so many tailed beasts were concentrated in Konoha, it would be really eye-catching.

On the contrary, if the tailed beasts are dispersed to major ninja villages, Kuro Zetsu will think of easy things first and then difficult ones. He will most likely find a way to deal with other ninja villages first, and it can also form an early warning to Konoha and provide a buffer time.

"Thinking about it this way, distributing tailed beasts is also a good choice. Maybe it can also lure snakes out of their holes..." Hanzo thought as he touched his chin.

"How is it, Hanzo? What are your plans?" Hashirama continued to ask.

After coming back to his senses, Hanzo glanced around the faces of the six people in front of him and said with a smile: "Then what do you think about allocating these eight tailed beasts to the major ninja villages?"

"Distribution?" Several people were a little surprised.

Hanzo explained unhurriedly: "Among the five great ninja villages, apart from us, only Sunagakure has one in his hand.

Since it is difficult for us to digest so many tailed beasts, why not distribute the tailed beasts to each ninja village? Hmm... Thinking about it, I think it is enough for us to only have one or two stronger tailed beasts in our hands. This is good for us.

It’s okay to digest it.”

"But should we just give the tailed beast to them for nothing?" Senju Takeoka frowned when he heard this and said: "Our Konoha is also under great financial pressure, why not take this opportunity to ask them for some money to redeem it?

Wouldn't it be better to give them the tailed beast in a different way?"

"Great Elder!" After Senju Takeumao finished speaking, before Hanzo could say anything, it was Hashirama who was the first to retort.

"Great Elder, this distribution of tailed beasts is nothing more than to increase the deterrence of each village. The fundamental goal is to seek peace. How can you ask them for money..."

"Chief, you are not a family member and don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Now village construction requires money, employees in various ministries require money, and money is needed everywhere. This money is spent like running water. It only depends on whether the village's income and the allocation from Daming Prefecture are enough."

?" Senju Zhuyuan was also quite dissatisfied.

The Logistics Department controls the village's finances. The village's finances are currently in dire straits, and he is also under great pressure.

Seeing Senju Takeoka's reaction so fiercely, Hashirama scratched his head and said, "Well, didn't we make a lot of money selling land to those wealthy merchants before?"

After hearing this, Senju Takeoka touched his forehead helplessly, and even wanted to roll his eyes.

However, thinking of the occasion here, he reluctantly held back and said: "Of course, clan leader, if it weren't for that money, how could we in Konoha have built it to this extent in just over half a year.

That money is very crucial, but it only ends here. If there is no financial transfusion next year, we will have to slow down the construction speed. After all, Konoha will not have a second batch of land to sell."

"..."

Senju Takeoka had complained to this point, and Hashirama could only shut his mouth in depression.

He had no choice, and he couldn't change the money. In this case, he had no position to refute Senju Takeen's words.

After finally convincing Hashirama, Senju Takeoka then looked at Hanzo and said, "What do you think? Hokage-sama, what do you think?"

Seeing this, Hanzo could only shake his head and said: "You think it's too simple. We don't have funds, and other ninja villages lack funds even more..."

As soon as Hanzo said these words, the Thousand-Armed Bamboo Circle just now shrank.

Indeed, among the four major ninja villages, it is estimated that Kirigakure, which was the oldest, still has two cents of its wealth in its hands, while the other three parties are probably also penniless.

If the tailed beast is to be sold, the price cannot be lowered. How can the three great ninja villages come up with the money?

"What to do about the financial problem? If the current situation continues, many plans for next year will have to be postponed temporarily." Senju Takeen said.

Hanzo had no good solution for the time being, so he could only say: "Elder Takemoto, we will discuss this issue later. For now, let's solve the problem of the tailed beast first."

After hearing this, Senju Zhuyuan could only sit back helplessly.

Hanzo then looked at Hashirama and said: "Hashirama, of the eight tailed beasts in our hands, which ones do you think we keep in Konoha?"

"Which one to keep..." Hashirama was a little hesitant. After a moment, he said: "I think the nine tails need to be kept. The power of the nine tails is too strong. Ordinary sealing techniques can't do anything with it. Moreover, letting the nine tails go to

Other villages are really bad for Konoha."

I have to say that although many of Hashirama's ideas are naive, he still sits upright.

When it comes to Konoha's security issues, he would not think of releasing the Kyuubi to anyone else.

"Yeah." Hanzo nodded and continued, "What else?"

"No." Hashirama shook his head: "Let's leave it like this for the time being. We must control the Nine Tails in our own hands. We can discuss it with other tailed beasts, and we will make a detailed decision at that time."

Hanzo nodded slightly when he heard this and said: "Okay, let's settle it for now. Regarding the distribution of tailed beasts, I don't want any news to get out..."

As he said that, Hanzo glanced at everyone in front of him and said calmly: "This is related to an important plan of the village, so there must be no leaks about the distribution of tailed beasts!"

Seeing Hanzo being so solemn, several people were also shocked and immediately responded: "I understand."
