Konoha's top brass did receive a letter from the Country of Wind some time ago.

To be precise, it was a reply.

Due to the recent alliance between the Kingdom of Water and the Kingdom of Earth, the relationship between Konoha and Iwa has also tended to ease under the operation of the Kingdom of Water. In this context, and considering the balance of forces among all parties, Konoha extended alliance invitations to both Sunagakure and Kumogakure.

What Konoha's top management considers is that once the alliance system with the two countries of Water and Fire as the core is finalized, the two countries of Wind and Thunder may be in a situation of near-diplomatic isolation. Instead of waiting for them to come to their door, they might as well extend an olive branch to them first. Don't leave a loophole for some ambitious people who want military expansion to take advantage of the opportunity.

However, even after the letter was sent, the two countries, Fengling and Lei, unanimously adopted the tactic of burning pigeons in the furnace. This alliance did not say that it would be concluded or that it would not be concluded. It just kept people's appetite.

Forget about the Kingdom of Thunder, it is rich in resources and strong enough to hang on for a long time. But the Kingdom of Wind is not the case. There is a large desert over there. It can be said that they are poor and have only money. They don't dare to hang on for too long. After all, a large part of the food imports still needs the Kingdom of Fire.

Finally, the Kingdom of Wind couldn't stand it any longer, and they sent a reply to Konoha.

The content on Credible is a bit weird.

"How did you know this?" Zhisui was surprised.

"Why don't you ask me who taught me?" Jing rolled her eyes.

Who taught it? The figure of Master Ping flashed through Zhisui's mind for a moment, but it obviously couldn't be him. Who is that?

Oh, it’s Tenzo, the Eight Diagrams King.

"Okay." Shisui, who had figured out his joints, also rolled his eyes, "The Kingdom of Wind, they may not sincerely want to form an alliance."

"It's quite strange."

"Yes, the foreign trade relationship between the two countries is very close, and the trade balance is also very large. We have lowered our stance. I don't understand where they have the confidence to exchange hostages."

Once Shisui's chat box is opened, it will be difficult to close it again.

"And forget about changing hostages. In the past, hostages were only the sons of political families, but they never brought the ninja village with them. This time, the ninja village and the ninja village also have to give up hostages."

"The Ninja Village is also going to come out?"

"Correct."

"So what do we mean here?"

"What the higher-ups mean is that stability is the priority." Zhisui reluctantly spread his hands.

Stability comes first, which means that the hostages must be dispatched, Jing frowned. The selection of hostages has a certain political nature. The first choice is the children of political leaders and elites, who are placed in Konoha, that is, people from those major clans, and...Sarutobi Asuma.

Not to mention whether Sandai would agree to sending Asuma as a hostage, it was hard to decide on other candidates. At present, the two most famous families in Konoha are the Hyuga and the Uchiha. However, these two families have strong blood inheritance limits and are not suitable for being sent to such a distrustful place. Other families, such as Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, and even Inuzuka, Aburame, and Shimura, can all produce people.

But with the identity and strength of these people, can they really control the situation?

"I said..."

While he was thinking, a laughing voice came.

"Are you a workaholic? After a day of rest, you are still here talking about work."

"What's wrong?" Zhisui's voice sounded a little guilty, "Besides, I wasn't the one who brought it up first."

"Have you been to see the New World?" Jing asked again.

Sure enough, Itachi's face looked a little unnatural.

"Ah."

Compared to Sasuke, Itachi's expectations for the new world are not as strong as before. The sensitive child seemed to sense this, and Xinshi made his own resistance to Itachi - not letting him hug him, and crying when he hugged him.

He finally realized how Shisui felt when he wanted to hug Sasuke.

"This is for you." Itachi chose to skip this unpleasant topic and handed the package in his hand to Jing.

"What is this?" Jing pinched it, her hand felt soft, "Kimono [note]?"

"I give you a kimono, do you accept it?" Itachi asked half-jokingly with a smile.

"Why don't you accept it?" Jing also smiled, "If you dare to give it away, I dare to accept it."

Jing changed. As the person who knew her best in the village, Itachi spotted her at a glance.

In the past, she was confident and thus flamboyant. Nowadays, she is less confident in her publicity and has more things that he can't understand.

But she was still Uchiha Shizu, the one he would always dream of no matter how long he was separated from her. As for what really happened, he felt that he could always wait until the day when she was willing to tell him, he firmly believed.

His eyes suddenly dodge, his face flushed, as if he couldn't even use his tongue.

"It's not a kimono." He tilted his head, "It's just a haori."

"You guys talk, I'm leaving." Zhisui couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to say goodbye.

"Let's go after dinner." Itachi persuaded him to stay.

"Don't eat, I'm full." Shisui waved his hand and his sleeves, not taking away a single cloud.

Being a Hokage is actually a very bad job. You work seven days a week, all year round, and you often stay up late and work overtime without any overtime pay.

The Third Hokage had finished all his work today. When he finally had time to look up at the clock, he found that the hands had already pointed to the big 1.

It looked like today was another day to sleep in the Hokage Tower, he sighed softly. Anyway, since Asuma grew up and Biwako passed away, he was the only one left in his family. Later, Konohamaru's birth added some popularity to his house, but after all, Konohamaru was too young and couldn't live without his parents and nanny most of the time. The existence of his grandfather was probably dispensable.

The Third Hokage moved his numb waist, and his expression suddenly froze. He raised his head and shouted in the direction of the door:

"Come in."
