Hokage: Bragging Makes You Stronger

The amount of one hundred thousand grain and grass is really not low. Even a hundred thousand army can be fed for several months. Moreover, no family in the current ninja world has this number.

For example, the Senju are regarded as the first family in the ninja world, and the total number of ninjas is less than 5,000.

If there are really 100,000 grains, the Senju clan will not be short of food within a few years.

No matter what era of war, food must be a top priority, but as the largest clan in the ninja world, the Senju clan naturally has the most extensive territory. Even if they fight all year round, they have never been short of food and grass.

"Hmph, it's just a hundred thousand grains and grass. I heard that the Sarutobi clan chief has been very prosperous recently. After Nine Tails was sealed, the entire south belongs to you Sarutobi clan. The minerals there are really extraordinary!"

Sarutobi Hiroki was a little angry when he heard this. Senju Butsuma was really a lion. He asked for food and grass, but he actually wanted to go into those mines.

"If Chief Butsuma wants the mineral vein, it will be difficult for him to obey!"

Of course, Senju Butsuma doesn't really want that Mine 01. After all, the Senju are quite far away there, and even if they really get there, they won't be able to defend it. So to put it bluntly, Senju Butsuma just wants some armaments!

"Chief Sarutobi, don't be anxious. Of course we don't want this mineral vein, but our Senju military equipment has been a little tense recently. You also know that we have been fighting Uchiha before, unlike you who have been hiding your capabilities and biding your time!"

Sarutobi Hiroki didn't believe that Senju Butsuma would be so stupid. He opened his mouth and asked for the mineral vein. Sure enough, Senju Butsuma's answer was not what he expected, but if he really agreed to the other party, the Sarutobi clan would inevitably bleed.

After all, they have just taken over the southern part and cannot turn it into production capacity in a short period of time. It will take at least several months to have a certain amount of output.

But thinking about the threat of the Uzumaki clan, he had to bleed a lot. After all, the Senju clan is not like other clans. In addition to Senju Butsuma, there is also a Senju Rama at the clan leader level. If the Senju clan cannot be stabilized, they can sneak attack on the Sarutobi clan during the war. That is also very possible.

"This armament is easy to talk about, but the mineral veins of our Sarutobi clan are not as good as those of the Senju. As for the southern part, it has not been fully developed, and there won't be many in a short time. How about I fund you with ten thousand shurikens?"

Senju Butsuma is famous for being stingy. When he heard about Ten Thousand Shuriken, he immediately blew his beard and stared.

"Ten thousand shurikens? Are the Sarutobi clan leaders sending beggars away? This amount is not enough for a few days. If the Sarutobi clan is this sincere, I think this alliance should be forgotten."

Sarutobi Hiroki knew that this old guy was losing his temper, so he finally made up his mind to tell his bottom line.

"Fifty thousand, fifty thousand at most, we Sarutobi clan don't have any more inventory!"

Seeing how determined the other party was, Senju Butsuma knew that this was probably the bottom line for the Sarutobi clan, so he did not threaten him again.

"If so, then I would be disrespectful."

After saying that, Senju Butsuma shamelessly extended his right hand, ready to shake hands with Sarutobi Hiroki.

Although Sarutobi Hiroki had just suffered a heavy hemorrhage, he was one less patriarch than the other family, which made him less confident during negotiations, so he could only shake hands with a smile on his face.

This shows how extraordinary the clan leader's deterrent power is. The Sarutobi clan only lacks one clan leader.

The Uzumaki clan has recently gained two more clan leaders, so don't blame other families in the ninja world for making a fuss, but the influence of this clan leader cannot be overshadowed.

Senju Butsuma was worried about what to use to negotiate with the Hatake clan. Sarutobi Hiroki was really sleepy and came to give him a pillow. This time, Senju Butsuma was more confident in negotiating with the Hatake clan.

Originally, the Senju clan alone was capable of attacking the Uzumaki clan, but that old guy Uchiha Tajima had to ask Hatake to also send troops, which left Senju Butsuma busy.

Senju Butsuma was also unambiguous and took people to the Hatake clan's flag land that day.

The Hatake tribesmen present basically knew the purpose of Senju Butsuma's visit. After all, they also knew the details of the meeting, so they knew that he came to Hatake to discuss the alliance.

But the people of the Hatake clan are not stupid either. This time they all know that the clan leader is going to kill Senju Butsuma severely.

Otherwise, they will never take action easily. As for whether the Senju clan will retaliate afterwards, the people of the Hatake clan know this very well. As long as the Uzumaki clan falls, the Senju and Uchiha will immediately go to war. Then there will be nothing else. Take care of them.

At this moment, Hatake Isshin has actually received Genma's secret order and knows what to do next.

Genma has Hatake Isshin as a hidden clue, so he naturally knows Senju's thoughts very well. Since Senju Butsuma is obviously here to give money, Genma tells Hatake Isshin not to show mercy and just open his mouth.

There is no need to give these resources to the Uzumaki tribe afterwards, as long as the Hatake tribe keeps them for themselves.

After all, Genma will annex the Hatake clan sooner or later, so it doesn't matter who he stays with.

And this battle is also a good opportunity for Genma to establish his authority in the hearts of the Hatake clan ninjas. If the previous battle only made the Hatake clan ninjas fearful, then this time Genma will fight against at least three clan leaders.

Only then will his reputation truly be revered as a god.

And Hatake did not disappoint Genma. As soon as he saw Senju Butsuma, he was not afraid at all and directly came to 967.

"Chief Butsuma, our Hatake clan has no intention of participating in this battle. I advise you to return the way you came."

Senju Butsuma was furious when he saw Hatake Isshin's face. When he heard this, he immediately wanted to have a fit. Finally, he thought of Uchiha watching behind him, so Senju Butsuma had no choice but to compromise.

If he doesn't compromise, Uchiha will definitely not attack Hyuga, and it will still be Senju who suffers at that time.

Of course, they can also choose not to take action, just sit back and watch the tiger fight, and let Sarutobi fight to the death with the Uzumaki clan, but in the end, if the Sarutobi clan wins, those Uzumaki clan's ninjutsu will have no chance with Senju.

That's why Senju must take action no matter what, and he must be more active than anyone else. As long as he finally defeats the Uzumaki clan, all these losses will be worth it.

Thinking of this, Senju Butsuma was also unambiguous and directly expressed his bottom line.

"I won't say any more nonsense. This time, as long as the Hatake clan is willing to take action, I am willing to support you with 100,000 grains and 50,000 shurikens!"

Hatake was intent on watching Senju Butsuma look like he was about to leave at any moment, and knew that the other party had directly stated his bottom line. If he were to raise the price now, he would probably break up on bad terms!

"Since Chief Butsuma is so sincere, then I, the Hatake clan, agree to take action."
