Chapter 190

"I said it first, I wasn't the one who made the first move." Uchiha Shingen emphasized this point first, and then said, "The jounin who led the team was not killed, but the others were."

"Since Kumo Ninja took action first, it doesn't matter." Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped smoking, and the old man put on a recalling face, "It was like this at the beginning, so we still signed the contract."

Koharu and Mito Kadoyan were also a little bit sad when they went to bed.

Even at this age, it's still hard to let go of what happened back then.

But after sitting in this position, many things cannot be controlled by one's own preferences.

I really didn’t expect that after so many years, I would still have a chance to vent my anger.

Chapter 22 The big dog didn’t choose the wrong person

As for what actions Uchiha Shingen would take, all the five people in Konoha were clear.

This is also what they want to see.

Moreover, Uchiha Shingen handled it better than they thought.

After all, everyone here has a lot of lives on their hands, and they have no feeling at all about killing.

What they care about is whether the killing is justified or not.

When it comes to the level of negotiation between two ninja villages, killing is never a problem. It's only when you can't kill that it becomes a problem.

In the original time and space, Yun Yin went to Konoha to cause trouble, and Hinata and Hinata slapped each other to heaven without saying a word.

He just didn't expect that Konoha's grassroots power was so weak at that time.

At that time, Konoha still had no shortage of masters, but the lack of masters did not mean that it could face the war with Kumogakure.

Financial and material resources are only one aspect, manpower is the key. Before any ninja village launches or welcomes a war, the first thing to consider is whether it will cause structural manpower losses to itself.

Unfortunately, if Konoha went to war with Kumogakure at that time, this would inevitably happen.

Konoha's position meant that it had no chance of one-on-one combat.

It can hit any village at a similar distance, so other villages can hit it simultaneously.

Once other villages form an anti-Konoha alliance, Konoha will be in trouble.

The killing of strong men in all directions is a beautiful sight on the battlefield, but the Ninja Legion, which focuses on mobile warfare, has too strong tactical penetration capabilities. They have enough ability to bypass any tough obstacles they want to avoid.

In the post-Senju Hashirama era, it is the vast number of grassroots ninjas who determine the overall situation of the war.

The Flying Thunder God Jutsu can enhance the ninja's mobility on the battlefield as much as possible, but Namikaze Minato, who is extremely skilled in the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, dare not guarantee that he can prevent a single Konoha ninja from dying in the entire battlefield.

Damn it, die anyway. Namikaze Minato had his legs broken during the third battle. Konoha lost so many people in the battle against Kumogakure and Iwagakure that they had to give up claiming compensation from Iwagakure in order to cease the war as soon as possible.

In this time and space, Cloud Hidden Village lost two Jinchuuriki, but its combat strength as a ninja army was still intact. None of its genin, chunin and jounin suffered serious losses. The last time The defeat did not fundamentally damage the size of Kumogakure Village. It was still an important force in the ninja world and had the ability to compete with Konoha.

Naturally, both sides are fully testing each other's bottom line.

Only this time, Konoha Hidden Village had a better diplomatic environment on the surface, so it struck first.

Next, let’s see how Raikage makes his moves.

In the Hokage's office, the five Konoha people and Uchiha Shingen quickly discussed a new plan.

Heal Ye Yuesong, and then let him go back with the Hokage's personal letter.

Namikaze Minato will severely reprimand the Kumogakure Village for inappropriate behavior as the Hokage, including the fact that the content of the document is inconsistent with the reality, and attacks Uchiha Shingen who went to inspect it. The Kumogakure Village must be personally stepped in by the Raikage to discuss peace face to face with the Hokage. Agreement, otherwise Konoha reserves the right to take further action.

That's probably what it means.

Uchiha Shingen has no objection to this. It is impossible for Yunyin Village to replicate the systematic conspiracy of fake signings, real kidnappings, large-scale feints, multi-national coordination, strong coordination and other steps in the original time and space. Since the means are limited, it is no longer possible. , and Konoha struck first, he expected Raikage to give in at this wave.

For the big drama, we still have to wait and see how the Raikage sings after he comes to Konoha.

No matter how he sang, it would definitely not be as good as the show Uchiha Shingen prepared for him.

Uchiha Shingen left enough time for the transfer seals placed on the two Yukito.

That is a ten-fist sword that will attack the seal of the two-tailed Yukito, releasing the two-tailed sword.

Because it is aimed at the seal, when the ninjutsu is activated, there is guaranteed to be no sign at all.

In the Hokage's office, while Minato Namikaze was writing a letter, Uchiha Shingen recounted all of this.

"That's what happened." He said, "In this way, we can have a truce with Kumogakure, and we can also make Kumogakure Village temporarily lose the power of the tailed beasts."

Although he would not give back to the Fourth Raikage the original version of how Kumogakure Village treated the big dog owners, this time, he was bound to make Kumogakure Village lose the two tailed beasts he originally purchased from Konoha.

As for whether the tailed beast still belongs to Cloud Hidden Village after its resurrection, that depends on everyone's ability.

He wants the second tail anyway.

"In addition, considering the damage that may be caused after the release of the two tails, I suggest that the meeting place can be in the country of Yu." Uchiha Shingen added, "I remember that when the second generation Hokage negotiated with Kumogakure, he also chose In the land of soup.”

"Shingen, do you want to be more stable?" To Uchiha Shingen's expectation, Namikaze Minato, a man who had almost had his wife kidnapped by Kumogakure, raised objections.

"The Fourth Raikage, I have dealt with him before. When faced with adversity, he did not lack the courage to make a desperate move." Namikaze Minato recalled his battle with Ai, "His character will be the greatest variable."

"If our side has an absolute advantage, will he do the same thing?" Uchiha Fugaku asked. He was wondering if he should just chop off the Fourth Raid. Anyway, Kumogakure has done this kind of thing himself. Just go to the two-tailed Jinchuuriki who will definitely die.

"There is a high probability that it will happen." Namikaze Minato nodded, "The situation in Kumogakure Village is slightly different from ours. Everyone knows that Raikage must not show any weakness, so once this happens, Raikage will Shadow is likely to go to war with us directly.”

Uchiha Fugaku understood what Namikaze Minato meant.

Namikaze Minato did not want to start a war at this time, because the alliance between Konoha, Kirigakure and Iwagakure was in a critical period of running-in. If it was interrupted due to war, the gains would outweigh the losses.

As long as there is a few years of peace and the three parties have completed their integration, the probability of conflict with Kirigakure and Iwagakure will also be suppressed due to the chain of interests. Coupled with the intelligence collection capabilities based on this chain of interests, Konoha will be able to grow from a long-term Liberated from the multi-faceted situation of facing the enemy.

By that time, Konoha was not afraid of any village suddenly turning into a monster. They would fight whenever they dared to jump, and they were very comfortable with it.

Uchiha Shingen's plan risks going too far and causing the Raikage to overreact.

We can't really fight another battle. If we really fight, we won't lose. It will easily give Iwagakure and Kirigakure the feeling that Konoha is too strong. Mutual trust between ninja villages is impossible, okay? It's easy to trick those two in. It's not good to be suspicious at this time.

Seeing this, Uchiha Shingen also began to think about whether he had acted too hastily.

Just when the three of them fell into silence, suddenly, a murderous voice sounded in the office.

The one who spoke was Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Don't be afraid of starting a war. The opponent is Kumo Hidden Village." The kind old man in the past had a scary expression now. "What's more, Kumo Hidden Village has a precedent! If it happens a second time, no one will think it is Konoha's problem."

"Not bad." Koharu also said when he went to bed, "If Kumogakure Village wants to go to war, we can take advantage of the situation and draw Iwagakure Village in. Ohnoki is much more worried about Kumogakure Village than Konoha."

Mito Monohan also nodded and said: "Hokage-sama, I would like to propose to you at this time that the three of us... no, it is Tobirama class who applied to participate in this negotiation. The position of the negotiation can be set between the second generation and Yun. Is it the location of the Hidden Village negotiations?”

All three of them are murderous. This is not a drastic change in the painting style, but a collapse in the painting style.

This was beyond Uchiha Shingen's expectation, and it caused some changes in his view of these three people.

The big dog owner didn't choose the wrong person back then.

Chapter 23 No one in this building has a good relationship with Yunyin Village

Hiruzen Sarutobi, now fifty-nine years old, has witnessed everything in Konoha Hidden Village.

Five years before Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi and his friend Danzo Shimura were born in the same year.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was happy in his childhood. When he was born, his father Sasuke Sarutobi was one of the strongest ninjas under Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

At the age of five, Hiruzen Sarutobi could already remember things. It was that year that the Sarutobi clan joined Konoha, along with their long-time allies the Shimura clan. Similarly, the Akimichi clan was a follower of the Sarutobi clan. At this time, he joined Konoha and roped in his good friends Nara and Yamanaka.

When Konoha was founded, Senju Tobirama founded a ninja school for the long-term peace and stability of the village. On the one hand, the outstanding children of each ninja clan can be educated and selected through the means of graduating from the ninja school. On the other hand, they can receive ideological and political education from an early age through the ninja school. , integrating the will of fire into their souls.

Here, Sarutobi Hiruzen met the people who influenced his life, Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had already shown extraordinary talent at a young age, received the teachings of Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama from an early age, and later became a member of Tobirama's class.

Twenty years in Konoha, for Hiruzen Sarutobi, his life changed because his teacher, Senju Tobirama, died and died for Tobirama's class.

At that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen hated Kumogakure from the bottom of his heart.

But he had no time to grieve because the war continued and he became Hokage.

As the third Hokage of Konoha, he has no resentment from anyone. Whether he is a decent person or a villain, whether he is a friend or an enemy, or an elder or junior, everyone thinks that he is very good - as if he has a good moral character and a good private character. He has perfect moral character and perfect skills in dealing with others.

His lifelong rival Danzo Shimura believed until his death that he could never compare to him.

No one in the Uchiha family actually said a bad word about him. On the contrary, they thought that it was really not easy for him to be the Hokage.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that he was not such a good person, not just because Shimura Danzo helped him bear those dark parts.

But the reason is that he himself also has revenge that he wants to take revenge on.

Put aside any scruples and take revenge happily.

But people who are Hokages do not have this qualification.

He has been going around in circles for decades, and now he is old, but the regrets of the past have always been hidden deep in his heart.

No one who is still alive in Tobirama class will forget it.

It is a pity that Shimura Danzo and Uchiha Kagami are no longer here. He and these two people are the strongest in that generation, and they are also the people who take the most care of Senju Tobirama.

"That's it, the Fourth Hokage." In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up under the stunned gaze of Minato Namikaze, "I am no longer the Hokage, and I also want to do some willful things."

"The Sandaime..." Namikaze Minato stood up quickly, "You are serious. Of course, I am not against it, it's just..."

"I know, Yondaime." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled, "I understand your thoughts very well. If it were me, I would definitely think the same way, but this time, let me be willful. Well, after all, Danzo and the others are no longer here, and an old guy like me might have to keep company with them one day, but I can’t go to see them empty-handed.”

"I understand." Namikaze Minato sighed, "Of course, I will also participate. Let's try our best to control all possible risks."

"Yes, I will definitely control it." Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a low voice.

Namikaze Minato sighed, the old man was becoming more stubborn.

No one can persuade me.

That's the bad thing about being Hokage, you have to force yourself to be rational.

If he were not the Hokage to beat up the Raikage or something, he would be the first to agree.

Huh? Why was his first thought to beat up the Raikage?

Shouldn't it be a contract?

"So, Shingen-kun, regarding the specific plan, can you give me a first draft before the Raikage gives a formal reply?" Namikaze Minato asked.

He decided not to think about the mess.

He definitely didn't hold a grudge to this day because he almost lost his wife because of Yunyin Village.

It's really strange. Is there no one in this building who has a good relationship with Yunyin Village? This made him, the Hokage, ready to act now, and the more he thought about it, the more itchy his hands became.

"No problem." Uchiha Shingen really didn't expect that the situation would turn around so quickly. He readily agreed, "Even if I have to work overtime, I'll do it for you."

"Don't remind me that I have to work overtime, ugh..." Namikaze Minato was very sad. He glanced at his desk and felt that the files on it had always been piled so high.

"Then it's up to you."

"Hokage-sama, just wait for my good news."

Watching Uchiha Shingen leave with brisk steps, Namikaze Minato felt resentful. He felt that Uchiha Shingen was increasing his workload.

"Shingen-kun, you are a good boy." Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly said.

"The Sandaime's evaluation of Shingen-kun is getting higher and higher now." Namikaze Minato smiled, "Indeed, except for being a little agitated sometimes, Shingen-kun is quite good."

"Young man." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile, "Yondaime, you have to be more considerate. Then I will go back first and won't disturb your work."

He stood up and put away his pipe.

At this time, he discovered that the pipe had been accidentally broken by himself.

My heart aches immediately.

I’ve been an old friend for more than ten years!

Damn Kumo Ninja! Today he lost another close friend!

Regardless of the interaction in the Hokage's office, after Uchiha Shingen left the Hokage building, he first went to Konoha Hospital.

He first went to the ward where Ye Yuesong was located.

Two members of the security team were standing at the door of Ye Yuesong's ward.

They were the members of the team that escorted Ye Yuesong before, one Inuzuka and one Aburame.

"Lord Shingen."
