MTL - The Life of a Villain Starting From Naruto

Chapter 141 Old School, New School

Hokage Building Office.

 Hinata Yuto is sitting in the corner, holding a pen and paper in his hand, listening and writing at the same time, which is similar to the meeting minutes in his previous life.

 In the office, the top management of Konoha Village gathered together. Hiruzen Sarutobi and the elder advisors, the leader of the ninja clan, the heads of Konoha Hospital and the barrier class...

Lin Lin finally counted down, including Hinata Yuuto, there were seventeen people in total.

 “Sunagakure can’t hold on any longer.” Hiruzen Sarutobi said softly:

“You have all read the letter [truce request] sent by Sunagakure a few days ago. What do you think? Tell me.”

Shimura Danzo immediately answered:

“Stop the war with Sunagakure. The puppet master is very difficult to deal with on the battlefield, and it will be difficult for our team to invade that desert country.”

 “I think so too.” Uchiha Fugaku stood on Shimura Danzo’s side this time:

"Because of last year's rescue operation, Kumogakure has temporarily formed an alliance with us. If Sunagakure is also appeased, the only enemies of Konoha will be Kirigakure and Iwagakure. The former is leaderless, and only the latter deserves to be vigilant. Looking at it this way , maybe the war will end this year.”

 The senior officials expressed their opinions one after another, and the proposal to end the war with Sunagakure was affirmed.

 This is the third year of the war. Everyone has relatives and friends who died on the front line. Even last week, Uchiha Fugaku held a funeral for his uncle.

 Hate turns to numbness, and numbness turns to pain and exhaustion.

The top leaders of the major ninja villages are not politicians hiding behind the scenes, but ninjas who may personally risk their lives at any time, and they understand the cruelty of war better.

 “Okay.” Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded:

"Then let the Country of Wind submit the negotiation document. They have newly selected the Wind Shadow called... Luosha? A good young man. It takes a lot of courage to bow his head proactively."

Hokage nodded towards Shimura Danzo and said:

“Duanzo, as before, you will draw up the contents of the ceasefire agreement.”

 “Okay.” Danzo Shimura sneered:

“Then let the Kingdom of Wind provide war compensation and a certain number of secret scrolls on puppetry...”

 The discussion on the ceasefire agreement in Sunagakure Village passed quickly and was quite efficient.

—All the senior officials in the office did not want to fight with the poor and desperate enemy of Sunagakure Village. With the same opinion, there were no complications, and Hiruzen Sarutobi was happy to go along with the situation.

 【Agree to the peace negotiations in Sunagakure Village and let Danzo Shimura draft a detailed treaty】

 Hinata Yuuto wrote this sentence and continued to listen to the next discussion of the senior executives.

 This is the third day after the New Year, and it is also the first regular high-level meeting of Konoha in 50 years.

 In the past few days, Sarutobi Hiruzen has publicly praised Hyuga Yuuto on many occasions as "the indispensable right-hand man of the next generation of Hokage", and even gave him the privilege of observing and learning at regular high-level meetings.

This is not a hint, it is simply a clear statement.

“Namikaze Minato will become the Fourth Hokage, and Hyuga Yuuto will be a member of the new generation of power core.” In the two days before and after the New Year, everyone in Konoha Village knew this.

 Without Orochimaru, since neither Jiraiya nor Tsunade has any intention of becoming the Hokage, no one is qualified to be a competitor for Namikaze Feng Shuimen.

“…So, the action against Luna is still on hold for the time being.” The last item of the meeting was about Luna. Out of caution, Hiruzen Sarutobi still chose not to actively provoke him.

"Does anyone else want to say anything?" the Hokage asked, which was the normal procedure before the meeting ended.

"Hokage-sama." Hinata Yuuto raised his hand, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly:

 “I have some ideas of my own…”

"Yuuto, it's okay, just say it boldly." Hiruzen Sarutobi encouraged with a smile: "You just started to sit in on high-level meetings and you have your own opinions. This is a good thing."

“Yes, Hokage-sama.” Hinata Yuuto turned his head and said softly:

“Elder Danzo, regarding the peace treaty you drafted, is the price paid by the Kingdom of Wind only currency and puppet secret scrolls?”

 “Hmm.” Danzo frowned:

“The economy of Sunagakure Village is very underdeveloped. This has already caused them a lot of headaches, and this was also the case during the First and Second Ninja World War.”

His tone was very bad. The first suggestion Hinata Yuto made was something he was responsible for. Even if it was out of public interest, it felt like it was specifically targeted.

“Compensation is good, but I think... it’s better to have a place than money.”

"where?"

 “Tiezushi Mountain.” Hinata Yuuto’s tone was very calm:

“Located on the edge of the Kingdom of Wind, very close to the Kingdom of Fire, it is rich in special metals with extremely high ductility, which is one of the main raw materials for puppet joints.”

“We want this mountain to come over and make it more difficult for Sunagakure Village to make puppets. They will either have to work hard to find mineral veins elsewhere, or spend money to buy them from us.”

 Everyone in the office was stunned, thinking about Hinata Yuuto's suggestion.

 “It won’t work!” Shimura Danzo said loudly:

"It won't work at all! If we propose to cede Mount Tiezu, there is no way Sunagakure Village will agree. They will grit their teeth and continue fighting with us."

 “Then fight with them.” Hinata Yuuto said expressionlessly:

“Everyone who attacked Sunagakure Village was killed. Everyone knows that with the fragile economy of the Wind Country, they will definitely be the ones who fall. The new Kazekage is a guy who knows how to sacrifice and will compromise.”

 “You…” Danzo Shimura’s expression changed:

 “You are too extreme, Hinata Yuuto.”

 “This is not extreme, this is maximizing the benefits of the war.”

 “Strong words!” Danzo said gloomily:

 “This may cause uncontrollable consequences, absolutely not!”

Hinata Yuuto nodded thoughtfully and seriously, then his attitude suddenly changed and he sneered:

"It turns out that this kind of proposal may lead to uncontrollable consequences... But Elder Danzo, what you proposed last month [release the tailed beasts in the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki to destroy the Amegakure Village] also seems irresponsible. That’s a radical suggestion.”

The atmosphere in the office was stagnant. The senior executives looked at Danzo Shimura and then at Yuuto Hinata, only to realize that Yuuto Hyuga didn't want Mount Tetsuzu at all, but took this opportunity to attack Danzo!

As for why he beat and warned "the following is wrong," everyone present understood the reason behind it.

—Minato Namikaze must have heard the news on the front line and specifically told him when he was leaving.

They are fighting to the death on the battlefield, alone to frighten the foreign enemies, and you are plotting behind the scenes to send their beloved girl to death. Clay figures are very angry. If Namikaze Minato's temper is even worse, he might have to use the Flying Thunder God to kill him overnight!

As for why Hyuga Yuuto stood up for Namikaze Minato and beat Shimura Danzo, in the eyes of everyone, it was actually a perfectly normal thing.

Perhaps this year, Namikaze Minato will succeed the Hokage. As the most capable confidant, Hinata Yuuto will definitely suppress the advisors of the Third Hokage.

This is his duty, and it is also one of the secret rules of the village. Otherwise, when Namikaze Minato comes to power, no one listens to him, and the dignified Hokage becomes the mascot, it would be a big joke.

 The alternation between the old and the new, and the confrontation between the old school and the new school, are actually proof of the prosperity of Konoha Village to some extent.
