Chapter 52
"That's right, it's good for everyone to be honest with each other."

Lu Jiu didn't bother to complain about who lied first, he was more concerned about the safety of the base personnel now.

"What about casualties at the base?"

There was no immediate response from the other end of the phone, but there was another scream.

"I don't like the way you speak to me."

Hoshino Maki's words sounded the same as usual, but Shikajiu knew that if the words were wrong next time, the village might lose an excellent ninja.

He lowered his eyes: "Sorry, what is the current casualty situation at the base?"

"Well, it should be okay, but you also know that this question is difficult to answer, and there are many influencing factors, such as medical conditions, my own physical fitness, and...my mood."

Hoshino Mu narrowed his eyes.

He is actually a good boy who loves peace, and he can't even speak Tibetan. Do you think he will be happy doing such despicable things?
No, his happiness is unimaginable.

"Hoshino Mu, I know about the negotiation between you and Kumo Shinobi, Konoha will double redeem people."

When Hoshino Mu heard the voice that turned into a fake Hokage on the other end of the phone, his heart ached.

This pain comes from two aspects, one is the envy, jealousy and hatred of the poor when they see a big dog; the other is if Konoha can double the price without blinking, then as the second child, is the price that Yun Ren offered to them? Too conscientious?
The thinking of capitalists immediately occupied the peak of rationality, less profit is loss!

Grandma, next time I capture Yunin, plant cotton for me for three months!

"Master Hokage, I'm not a person who has eyes for money."

Although very tempted, Hoshino Mu still gritted his teeth and refused.

The current refusal is for the greater benefit in the future. If these people return to the other party now, it is not to make trouble for themselves.

The purpose of his troops is very simple, the wind shadow position and plunder more benefits.

Destroying Konoha, I never thought about it from the beginning.

He wouldn't think that he would be omniscient after watching a few episodes of anime, the detonating talisman could really blow up people, and there would be no chance of reopening if Kunai passed through his heart.

As far as Kishimoto’s anime with various plots and bugs is concerned, he wants to take it as a standard. Now the grass is on the grave. Oh, there is no grass growing on the grave of Shayin Village, so it’s okay.

The most important thing is that Kishimoto did not describe in detail the first three battles, Jiraiya's current level of senjutsu, how far Minato's spiral pills and senjutsu have been practiced, he does not know the information of Konoha's other masters, who can guarantee Konoha There is no second Maite Dai in the village?
Taking a step back, even if Konoha could really be destroyed, the price would be unacceptable to Hoshino Mu.

So for Konoha, his tactic has always been to boil the frog in warm water, weakening the opponent as much as possible to strengthen himself.

But even if you want to talk, talking at the base is very different from talking at Kikyo City.

"You are not a money-seeking person, but you are a profit-seeking person."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi's words were so decisive that Hoshino Mu was at a loss for words.

This old thing is really accurate.

"Since you think so, you should know that the current income is not enough to satisfy my appetite?"

"Hehe, a good appetite needs to be paired with good teeth."

Hoshino Mu smiled, showing his white teeth, pulled Sarutobi Hongtian over, and pressed his head on the table with a bang: "Come on, tell your patriarch, are my teeth okay?"

Hong Tian gritted his teeth and remained silent, but this was not a problem at all for a medical ninja, especially a medical ninja of Hoshino Maki's level.

Hoshino Mu gently put his hand on his head, and Hong Tian suddenly felt tens of thousands of needles pricking his brain. He wanted to bite his tongue to kill himself or knock himself unconscious, but at this moment he completely lost control over his body and could only wail continuously.

"Hoshino Mu!!"

Hearing the roar of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hoshino Mushi let go of his hand.

"Master Hokage, my mental quality is not good. If I shake my hands next time, he may not even have a chance to call."

Hokage's office was already full of people at this time, and Mitomon Yan, Zhuanju Xiaoharu and Shin Hokage were the closest, and they could hear Hoshino Maki's voice clearly.

Lu Jiu stood beside the map, circled the location of the base heavily with a red pen, wrapped his left arm around his chest, rubbed his chin with his right hand, and his eyes wandered throughout the battle situation.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi calmed down, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

Hoshino Mu chuckled on the other side of the phone: "It's too early to say this, don't worry, you know me, I am not a person who kills indiscriminately, I like to solve problems in a win-win way."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not refute this time, compared to other ninja villages, including Konoha, Hoshino Maki's style is indeed the most gentle.

"I hope you do what you say."

"I try my best."

Hoshino Maki shrugged, motioned for Sand Shinobi who came in to remove all of Konoha's confidential documents, and then continued to chat with the other party.

"Why did you invade Konoha?"

"Don't say it so harshly, it's just that the elders in the village think that we should bring more advanced and civilized ideas to the conservative and backward Konoha, and I'm just an executor."

"Ha ha."

Sarutobi Hiru Zanki laughed, if it wasn't for the inappropriate occasion, he could have declared that this was the biggest joke of the year.

As long as Shayin Village has a little relationship with "advanced civilization", it is also in ore mining. Apart from bullying Wuyin Village, there is no one worse than them ideologically.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi wanted to say something more, but Hoshino Mu spoke first: "Master Hokage, don't talk for now, see you tomorrow morning. We should go too, I suggest you call back the Anbu who was sent out, I will burn down the place here leave any message."

After speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Hiruzaru Sarutobi to reply.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi listened to the blind voice in the microphone, and the veins in the palm of the hand holding the microphone were exposed.

He let out a long breath and gently put the microphone back in place.

"In 10 minutes, a meeting."

It was said to be 10 minutes, but in less than 5 minutes, everyone had already arrived. After all, the base in the central region was attacked. As a high-level executive, it was too slow to receive the news.

However, the number of people is much less than before, and many people have already rushed to the front line. Even the Patriarchs of Hinata and Uchiha originally planned to leave the day after tomorrow.

Lu Jiu wrote Hoshino Mu's words verbatim on the paper and sent them to the heads of every family.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at half the salary, and said, "Since Sand Ninja has joined the battle, does Uchiha want to change direction?"

The fire escape and sharing eyes that the family is good at are both excellent weapons to restrain sand ninja.

Danzo shook his head: "Compared to Sand Ninja, Cloud Ninja is our confidant's serious problem. If Cloud Ninja is defeated, the other two ninja villages will naturally retreat."

Danzo's words were recognized by most people, and Fugaku stopped talking, and nodded with his arms folded, as usual.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi glanced at the crowd: "Lu Jiu, tell me your opinion."

Nara Shikahisa stood up: "Hoshino Mu's rising time is very short, and because he is located in Hidden Sand Village, we haven't collected much information about him. Through the analysis of his behavior, I guess he doesn't like head-to-head combat The captive Yunin was also in a situation of last resort, and there is no record of him fighting with others, but his voice in Hidden Sand Village has become more and more important, and he has won many benefits for Hidden Sand Village.”

Several elders looked at each other. There was no rumor about Hoshino Mu's visit to Konoha last time. Combined with Lu Jiu's speculation, it was almost the same.

"The base fell, and we don't know how many people died, but if they were captured, they should be able to save their lives. Follow the other party's previous behavior style."

There were too few samples, and Lu Jiu didn't dare to guarantee it. He didn't want to be angered if he really died.

"I'm more concerned with the other point, what did he mean by 'see you tomorrow'."

Lu Jiu walked to the map and drew a circle with the fallen base as the center while talking: "The ninja's foot strength can probably go this far in a day. Within this range, where is his next target?"

Lu Jiu circled more than a dozen places in the circle, all of which were likely to be attacked, and Konoha simply didn't have the troops to defend them all.

Everyone on the conference table frowned, some were thinking about where Sand Ninja's next target was; some were anxious because some clansmen were in the circle; some were looking at the numerous arrows and circles on the map of the Land of Fire , worried about the overall war situation.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi picked up his pipe, seeing the original clean map turned into such a state, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"report!"

A ninja from the intelligence department quickly knocked on the door twice, then pushed the door open and walked in, putting a document in front of Minister Haiichi Yamanaka.

The information was very short, only a few words, but Kaiichi Yamanaka clenched his hand tightly.

"You go back first."

Saying that, Yamanaka Kai put the information in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen together.

Perhaps it was because there were too many bad news during this period, which caused Hiruzaru Sarutobi to look very calm after reading it.

"Everyone, the latest news on the western front. The five-tailed man Zhu Lihan joined the battlefield. Our side suffered heavy losses, and Zirai was also injured, so we were forced to continue to retreat. Rizu, let's go tonight."

"Yes!"

Hyuga Hyuzu stood up and left.

The date was brought forward, which disrupted the original plan, and Hyuga Nichizu needed to dispatch the manpower in person.

Before it was over, Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at Fugaku Uchiha: "Iwanin's Jinchuriki will go to the front line, and there will be no worries behind Kumo Shinobi. They will definitely step up their offensive on the front line. Fugaku, you should also set off tonight."

"Yes!"

With the departure of Konoha's two most famous families, everyone's mood became even more depressed.

Now, who will face Sand Shinobi?
