Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 234 Tsunade: I now declare the war over!

The Land of Wind, outside the Hidden Sand Village.

Akihara Kagura arrived here with Tsunade, but they were a little slow, and it was already quite late when they reached Sunagakure.

Compared to Kirigakure, Sunagakure is much more heavily guarded.

Due to long-term erosion by wind and sand, Sunagakure built high sand-proof fortifications outside the village, which served to defend against both wind and sand and to defend against enemies.

and.

The Sand Village received the news very quickly.

Their spy ninjas heard about Konoha's declaration of war against Sunagakure in the afternoon and immediately used the communication hawk to transmit the information to the village. Sunagakure just received the news of Konoha's declaration of war.

The entire village of Sunagakure immediately sprang into action.

Chiyo, a retired elder, stepped forward and immediately summoned the Jonin to a meeting, gathering all the village's ninjas to prepare for the war against Konoha.

"That little girl Tsunade..."

Granny Chiyo sat in the meeting room, her aged face grim: "On her very first day as Hokage, she dared to launch a war against Sunagakure and Kirigakure..."

Although Granny Chiyo was very dissatisfied with Tsunade, she knew that the current Sunagakure was no match for Konoha, and even the Sunagakure of the past was no match for Konoha.

Even the genin of Sunagakure knew that Sunagakure could never defeat Konoha. Every time the Fourth Shinobi World War happened, Sunagakure would choose to attack the Land of Fire, only to be soundly defeated by Konoha ninjas and forced to immediately sue for peace…

There are far too many cases like this.

The lower levels of Sunagakure lacked confidence, as did the upper levels, but they were constrained by the environment of Sunagakure and had no choice but to find a way to attack Konoha.

Granny Chiyo sighed. She was well aware of the situation in Sunagakure and knew that Sunagakure was no match for Konoha. She could only issue the order: "The village must actively prepare for war, but also send someone to contact Kirigakure. We will launch a joint attack on the Land of Fire..."

fortunately.

Tsunade's opponent is not rational enough, as she declared war on two villages at the same time. Sunagakure is not without a chance in this war.

At this point, Granny Chiyo couldn't possibly know about Kirigakure's surrender, and even if she did, she probably wouldn't believe it.

Are you kidding me?

How could someone declare war in the afternoon and surrender that evening?

of course.

Chiyo would never know that Akihara Kagura and Tsunade had already arrived outside Sunagakure.

A ninja stationed at a position outside the village rushed into the meeting room, his face filled with panic, and reported to all the attendees: "Lady Chiyo, two Konoha ninjas have stormed into the village, one of them is a Wood Release ninja!"

"What?!"

Granny Chiyo's expression suddenly changed!

The expressions of the others present also suddenly turned grim, as they all remembered the person who had been tormenting Shukaku outside the village.

Just as Granny Chiyo was about to say something, she felt the ground tremble. Her expression showed a hint of unease. What was this commotion?

Outside Sunagakure Village.

The towering defensive positions outside Sunagakure Village had already cracked open.

A tall wooden figure smashed through the enemy lines with just a few punches!

A group of Sand Village ninja stationed there were already bound by vines, and could only watch helplessly as the wooden figure stepped into the village, despair on the face of each Sand Village ninja...

Akihara Kagura and Tsunade stood atop the wooden doll, easily crossing the Sunagakure village's defensive line and maneuvering the doll into the village.

"This is..."

Tsunade's eyes still betrayed her shock.

The Fifth Hokage finally understood why everyone she encountered upon returning to the village emphasized Akihara Kagura's power and inquired about her existence.

because…

This power is truly astonishing!

"So this is... a Wood Release ninja?"

Chiyo stood outside the meeting room, her eyes wide with disbelief, staring in fear and unease at the tall wooden figure entering the village.

"yes…"

A Sand Village ninja, his throat dry and his voice hoarse, replied, "The person standing on top of the wooden doll is that Wood Release ninja named Akihara Kagura. The other person..."

"That's Tsunade..."

Chiyo's eyes narrowed instantly, and she said in a deep voice, "No wonder this little girl dared to attack Sunagakure; she's relying on her own strength... Immediately order the village's garrison to attack, and absolutely do not allow them to advance another step!"

Powerful ballistae were deployed within the village of Sunagakure.

This ballista looks somewhat outdated, but it's the only large weapon that can be used. However, it's useless at this moment.

The villagers of Sunagakure fled in panic, fearing they would be trampled and injured by the wooden golems. One by one, the Sunagakure ninjas bravely charged forward to fight the wooden golems in order to protect their village, risking their lives to safeguard their home!

but…

Useless.

Any attack is futile against the wooden figure.

A wooden dragon emerged from the wooden figure and swiftly swam through Sunagakure Village, causing towering trees to grow in every area it passed through!

The villagers of Sunagakure have always longed for forests and large trees to grow around the village so that they could store water, but they have never hated trees as much as they do now!

These towering trees stretched out their branches and vines, binding the fleeing Sand Village ninjas to the trees and draining their chakra...

The top of the tall wooden figure.

The caster, however, was leisurely observing all of this.

"It seems like I've found someone who can make the decisions."

Akihara Kagura's gaze fell on Chiyo on a building, and she controlled the wooden doll to walk over step by step, causing the entire Sunagakure village to tremble!

"This guy..."

Chiyo watched the wooden doll approach, her heart trembling, yet she stubbornly tried to muster the courage to fight, and suddenly pulled out her puppet scroll!

"Do you still want to fight?"

Kagura Akihara looked at Chiyo with great interest and took the initiative to remind her, "As long as Lady Tsunade gives the order, everyone in Sunagakure will perish here. If you are the only one left alive, you might not even have enough time to bury them all..."

"..."

Tsunade's eyes twitched.

Hearing Akihara Kagura say that, Tsunade felt like a terrible person, yet she couldn't really find any fault with herself...

"Tsunade!"

Chiyo immediately ignored Akihara Kagura, forcing herself to remain calm as she looked at Tsunade, unwilling to lose her backbone: "What exactly does Konoha want? We've already agreed to negotiate with Konoha..."

"There was no negotiation."

While secretly absorbing chakra, Akihara Kagura answered on behalf of her superior, "The only thing Sunagakure needs to do is surrender unconditionally and await Konoha's judgment!"

"Don't push your luck..."

Chiyo stubbornly clenched her few remaining teeth.

"Lady Chiyo."

Akihara Kagura frowned, looking at Chiyo with some doubt: "Are you too old, with not much time left to live, and you want to drag the entire Sand Village down with you?"

"..."

Tsunade's vision went black.

Akihara Kagura's attitude towards the outside world is a bit too tough!

However, Chiyo had no choice but to accept this harsh treatment. The old woman looked at Sunagakure with a face full of resentment. All the ninjas were tied to trees and had no ability to resist.

"We...agree."

Chiyo could only close her eyes.

Everyone in Sunagakure is under the enemy's control. What right does she have to negotiate with them? She's already too old; this is nothing but humiliation...

"I can commit suicide to atone for my sins against Konoha..."

Chiyo took a deep breath and looked at all the Sand Village ninja around her: "I only hope you can spare these young children..."

"That's not up to you!"

Kagura Akihara interrupted Chiyo, saying, "Lady Chiyo, immediately have Sunagakure issue a public announcement throughout the ninja world, declaring their surrender to Konoha. As for you, come back to Konoha with us immediately to sign the unconditional surrender agreement. We'll discuss everything else later..."

"Konoha won't kill too many people..."

Tsunade wanted to appease Chiyo, her old rival.

"Little girl, this time..."

Chiyo stared at Tsunade above the wooden doll's head, feeling a bit aggrieved.

"Do I need to remind you?"

Kagura Akihara immediately interrupted Chiyo's disrespectful address, coldly reminding her, "Standing before you is Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha. Show her some respect, or I'll kill everyone in Sunagakure!"

"..."

Tsunade sighed softly.

The new Hokage's expression became subtly strange.

At that moment, she seemed to understand why her teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had always relied on Danzo Shimura and Root; the existence of this department was simply too beneficial to the Hokage…

There's no need for her, the Hokage, to argue and reason with people forcefully, because the Root members will proactively uphold a Hokage's dignity and help her resolve any inconveniences.

Aside from being a bit extreme at times…

However, compared to what this department has done, this extreme is nothing. No wonder Sarutobi-sensei and Shimura Danzo kept arguing, yet he still insisted on having Shimura Danzo serve as Hokage's assistant.

Roots…

It truly is a sharp weapon in foreign politics!

"alright."

Tsunade patted Akihara Kagura on the shoulder, her gaze softening as she looked at Chiyo. The victor was already in a superior position, and there was no need to coerce her with words anymore.

"Lady Chiyo."

Tsunade, noticing Chiyo's somewhat uneasy expression, said, "Indeed, we need to go back with you. The Konoha ninjas are waiting for us to bring back a representative from Sunagakure to discuss what will happen after Sunagakure's surrender."

That's pure nonsense.

Inside the meeting room of Konoha Village, they were still discussing the war.

However, Tsunade is a sensible person who understands politics. She is not an innocent little girl, and she doesn't care about lying or her reputation in front of her subordinates.

"..."

Akihara Kagura's gaze towards Tsunade held a hint of something strange.

This Fifth Hokage... is quite a master!

"By the way, the ninjas of Kirigakure have already surrendered."

Seeing Chiyo's shocked expression, Tsunade casually remarked, startling her old rival once again: "The representative from Kirigakure who surrendered happens to be in Konoha right now, and that representative is also a woman. We can have a good discussion about the post-war matters..."

"Is that so..."

Chiyo felt like she had aged a few years.

While Konoha and Kirigakure were still at war, and Chiyo was still considering whether to remind Sunagakure that it could also become an ally of Konoha to jointly attack Kirigakure...

but…

Now it seems...

Konoha had already made all the necessary preparations.

Konoha Village.

Konoha hadn't actually prepared anything.

Even the people in the conference room were still waiting for Tsunade to return, waiting for the new Hokage to discuss with them how to fight the war.

The ninja recruitment order hadn't been issued yet, weapons and equipment weren't even ready, and there wasn't even a hint of organizing ninjas into an army...

Nara Shikaku, the village's strategist, hadn't even had time to formulate a plan, but it seemed the plan had already been disrupted, leaving the Konoha strategist somewhat bewildered...

perhaps…

The only thing they did was…

It was to tell everyone in the village that Konoha was going to war.

Just as the people in the conference room were still waiting, three figures appeared in the room. Akihara Kagura used the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring Tsunade and Chiyo back.

"This is…"

Nara Shikaku saw Akihara Kagura and Tsunade bring back Granny Chiyo, and looked at the old woman in shock: "Is she really Lady Chiyo from Sunagakure?"

"Yes."

Tsunade returned to the village and specifically checked the time in the meeting room: "At four o'clock this afternoon, during the succession ceremony, I announced the war against Sunagakure and Kirigakure..."

"It is 3 a.m. I hereby declare the war between Konoha and Sunagakure and Kirigakure over. Both Sunagakure and Kirigakure have surrendered to Konoha, and the representatives who came to sign the surrender have arrived in Konoha..."

In short

"Gentlemen, this war is over."

"..."

Everyone present was caught off guard.

"puff…"

A Jonin who was drinking tea suddenly spat it out, feeling that the world was somewhat absurd: "The war is over in less than twelve hours? Did Lady Tsunade really declare war?"

Is this really not a joke?

Because Tsunade announced war against Sunagakure and Kirigakure during her inauguration ceremony that afternoon, many people in the village were somewhat dissatisfied with the new Fifth Hokage!

result…

In less than twelve hours…

Sunagakure and Kirigakure announced their unconditional surrender.

"like…"

"As if nothing happened..."

Kakashi Hatake stared at the ceiling of the conference room with a hint of existential doubt.

Third update!

That concludes today's daily quota!

I'm a real Tsunade fan!
