Chapter 160 I'll Eat the Meat, and I'll Give You the Pot! (Subscribe and Give Me Monthly Tickets)

Although it was late at night, the Hokage's office was still bright.

During this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was always stationed here.

It happened that Namikaze Minato was in the village, so the information transmitted through the messenger toad reached Sarutobi Hiruzen very quickly.

Although no more information has come yet, the news that the Iwa ninja has sent troops is enough for Sarutobi Hiruzen to take it seriously.

He first issued an order to send an ANBU team to the border of Grass Country to alert the border defense forces, and to the Grass Ninja Village to alert the Grass Ninjas to be alert to the Iwa Ninja's surprise attack.

Although the Kusanagi Village has been dealing with other major ninja villages, and has recently had an unusual relationship with the Iwa Ninja, Sarutobi Hiruzen believes that there is absolutely no way the Kusanagi will allow the Iwa Ninjas to invade.

Because at that time, the Grass Ninja Village will cease to exist, and this is the core interest of the Grass Ninja Village.

This is completely different from the River Kingdom. Because the River Kingdom lost the Rain Ninja Village, there is no Ninja Village at all.

Therefore, even with the reminders of Hoshita Shuichi and Orochimaru before, Sarutobi Hiruzen still believed that even if the Iwa Ninja sent troops, it would not be easy to cross the Grass Country, so there was still time to mobilize troops.

This was also the reason why he had dared to mobilize troops to Platycodon Mountain several times before.

This is based on interest considerations!

After issuing orders one by one, Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked a cigarette, but his thoughts flew to the Land of Rain.

In addition to the Kingdom of Grass, the Kingdom of Rain is also a point of concern for him.

Fortunately Danzo was there.

With roots, it is not easy for the Iwa Ninja Village to raid the border of the Fire Country through the Rain Country.

Soon Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of Kumo Ninja again.

Once the Iwa Ninja goes into battle, Konoha's military strength will be severely reduced, and Kumo Ninja will definitely not be able to bear it.

After getting up and coming to the map, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around and finally landed on the location of Mount Kikyo.

"Sand Ninja..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were focused.

He was worried that the Kumo ninja would take action before they could win the Battle of Kikyo Mountain. It would be very dangerous at that time.

And Hoshita Shuichi... thought about it for a long time, sighed, and Sarutobi Hiruzen still didn't make the decision to recall.

Once Shuichi Hoshita leaves, the Sand Ninja will reinforce him, and the Battle of Mount Kikyo will immediately change.

"Shinnosuke, Minato hasn't left yet, has he?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke appeared immediately: "Yes, Minato is worried that Shuichi will send information."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed: "Thank you for their hard work."

"Ask Minato to send a message to Shuichi and ask him to propose peace talks with Suna Ninja on my behalf. I will send a special mission to Sunagakure Village."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was shocked: "At this time...according to Shuichi's previous information, there is a reason why Iwa Ninja went to battle so quickly."

"The Sand Ninja may offer unacceptable conditions at this time."

"We only need to support it for a while longer. After the victory in the Battle of Platycodon Mountain, we can immediately reinforce the Country of Grass."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head: "But the loss is too great."

"There are also cloud ninjas, their movements will be even faster."

"Faced with attacks from four ninja villages at the same time... go ahead!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke sighed secretly. Although he didn't agree with such a strategy, he understood his father's painstaking efforts, so he nodded and left.

After finding Namikaze Minato, Sarutobi Shinnosuke carefully explained Sarutobi Hiruzen's orders and considerations. Namikaze Minato nodded solemnly: "I will immediately ask Mt. Myoboku to notify Shuichi. With Shuichi's acumen, it shouldn't be difficult. Do this."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid Shuichi will not do what the Third Hokage wants."

Namikaze Minato was startled for a moment, then comforted him: "Don't worry, Shuichi will be sensible about such an important matter."

"Then I'll go."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded and watched Namikaze Minato leave.

When Namikaze Minato came to a remote place, he immediately summoned Gamabunta and asked him to bring information to Hoshita Shuichi.

Gamabunta nodded and released the channeling. After returning to Mt. Myoboku, he immediately used the counter-channeling technique.

Outside Sand Hidden Village, Hoshixia Xiu suddenly disappeared from the spot with a bang.

When he reappeared, it was Mt. Miaomu, whose scenery was completely different from that of the ninja world.

This was Hoshita Shuichi's first time coming to Mt. Myoboku. He glanced around and looked at the huge toad Bunta in front of him: "Bunta, it seems that Minato-sensei has news."

Gamabunta nodded: "According to Minato's words, the Third Hokage has instructed you to propose peace talks with the Fourth Kazekage."

Hoshita Shuichi heard this and smiled and said, "I understand, why don't you summon Minato-sensei here too?"

"Um...this is okay."

Gamabunta closed his forelimbs and used the counter-spiritual technique, and Minato Namikaze suddenly appeared next to Hoshita Shuichi.

"Shuichi!"

Namikaze Minato turned around, looked at Hoshita Shuichi with a smile, and then extended his hand to gesture: "You have grown a lot taller!"

Hoshita Shuichi smiled happily and said, "Minato-sensei, we haven't seen each other for almost half a year."

"yes."

Namikaze Minato nodded with emotion: "Thank you for your hard work."

"So, you already know the order of the Third Hokage, right?"

Hoshita Hide nodded and restrained his smile: "Actually, after I got the news of the Iwa Ninja's dispatch, I went to see the Fourth Kazekage and used the Kingdom of Birds to lure the Fourth Kazekage to send troops north and form an alliance with Konoha."

Namikaze Minato was shocked when he heard this: "This... Iwa Ninja and Suna Ninja must have reached an agreement secretly, right?"

Hoshita Shuichi said with a playful smile: "Minato-sensei, don't forget that in the eyes of most Suna ninjas, the disappearance or death of the Third Kazekage is related to the Four-Tails Jinchuuriki."

"Secondly, Iwa Ninja took the initiative to attack the Kingdom of Wind."

"Furthermore, Yakura, the Burnt Releaser who was regarded as a hero by Sand Hidden Village, died in the hands of Iwa Ninja."

"Of course, these are not the most important. The most important thing is that the victory of the Bird Country is the result of the Fourth Kazekage, and the River Country is the credit of the Third Kazekage."

"And under the current circumstances, the Suna Ninja will undoubtedly lose in the Battle of Mount Kikyo, regardless of whether the Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja send troops."

"For the sake of the companions of the village, and for revenge against the Iwa Ninja, the Fourth Kazekage's prestige will be further enhanced. If the interests of the Bird Country are taken, then most of the Suna Ninja will forget the Third Kazekage, and the Fourth Kazekage will Considered the strongest wind shadow in history."

Minato Namikaze frowned in thought, then nodded after a moment and said: "Shuichi, your analysis is very reasonable, but..."

Looking at his outstanding disciple solemnly, Namikaze Minato solemnly said: "If we talk about peace talks, the Suna Ninja will definitely put forward conditions, and Ichibi will definitely be among them."

"Shuichi, you should know what happens after the tailed beast is extracted."

Hoshita nodded and said with a smile, "Minato-sensei, of course I know it very well."

"The One-Tail can be returned to the Sand Ninja, but not now."

"We have to wait until after the war, um... set three years, and we will keep it for Suna Ninja for three years."

Namikaze Minato was confused: "Shuichi, you..."

Hoshita Shuichi explained: "Minato-sensei, you also know that my master's wife and I were studying the ghoul sealing technique that can seal the soul."

"Later, I practiced the art of spiritualization, which allows me to transform my spirit into a spiritual body and carry chakra into the enemy's body to attack."

"I studied the Vajra Sealing Technique of the Uzumaki Clan, and then created my own Fire Nether Lock, a sealing technique. But in fact, my original purpose was to develop a sealing technique that can seal the soul."

"Seal the soul..."

Namikaze Minato's expression changed slightly: "Shuichi, do you... want to divide the tailed beast?"

Gamabunta, who had been listening to the audience, showed a look of shock and looked down at Hoshita Shuichi with fear in his eyes: "This disciple of Minato is really a terrifying person. Not only is his talent amazing, but he also has amazing ideas. He even dares to divide a tailed beast... …”

Hoshita Shuichi nodded to Namikaze Minato: "That's right, divide the tailed beast."

"The tailed beast is too powerful."

"Master Mother, if she wants to control the power of the Nine-Tails, or even tame the Nine-Tails, she must first weaken the Nine-Tails."

Shuichi Hoshita couldn't tell her true purpose now, so he had no choice but to move out of Uzumaki Kushina.

But he did also want to split the Nine-Tails so that Uzumaki Kushina could forcibly master the Nine-Tails Chakra mode first.

However, Namikaze Minato was not only moved but also worried: "Shuichi, my teacher has mastered the technique of sealing away ghosts. It is extremely difficult to seal souls."

"The technique of sealing off ghosts relies on the powerful god of death... Are you sure you can create such a technique without side effects within three years?"

Hoshita Shuichi heard this and smiled and said: "Minato-sensei should have more confidence in me. I am the best at developing ninjutsu."

"From the art of spiritual transformation, I have developed a spiritual body clone art, and I have taken a step forward."

"Within three years, I am still very confident. But I still need the teacher to ask the Third Hokage for some soul-related techniques after he returns to Konoha."

Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly after hearing this, but then nodded seriously: "I will do my best to facilitate this matter."

"I will also make a representation to the Third Hokage regarding the alliance with Suna Ninja."

"Shuichi, be more careful over there in Sunagakure Village."

After speaking, Namikaze Minato nodded again to Gamabunta and disappeared from the place.

Hoshita Shuichi also left Myoboku Mountain immediately. Although he was also quite curious about this place, now was not the time.

And this night was destined to be sleepless for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

However, although he was old, he was not without any decisiveness, so he agreed to use Hoshita Shuichi's plan without thinking for too long.

And after Hoshita Shuichi and the Fourth Kazekage reached a preliminary agreement, they would send someone to take over the peace and alliance matters.

…

Outside Sunagakure Village, Hoshita Shuichi waited quietly after receiving a reply from Gamabunta.

He knew that the Fourth Kazekage probably couldn't sleep at this moment either.

In fact, the Fourth Kazekage was in a meeting at this moment.

This turn was a bit sharp, catching many senior Suna ninja officials off guard.

Chiyo was the first to express his stance: "I support the fourth generation!"

Now that Luo Sha has held this meeting, the tendency is already very obvious.

And she agreed, definitely not for the time bomb-like curse mark in her body, nor for her brother on the other side of Platycodon Mountain, but entirely for the interests of Sunagakure Village.

But some people disagree: "Konoha proposed this plan because the Iwa ninja sent troops and they are in big trouble. As long as we hold on and Konoha is defeated, we can even take back the River Country."

Chiyo immediately retorted: "But we can't wait. The side of Mount Kikyo will no longer be able to support it."

"That's more than two thousand people, and more than half of them are elites."

"You should know that after we lose them, we may not be able to recover for the next ten years."

"Besides, since it is a peace talk, we can naturally strive for some benefits, such as taking back the one-tail!"

The opposing Sand Ninja immediately said: "How is it possible?"

"Taking back the one-tail means that Shuichi Hoshita will definitely die, and Konoha will never agree to this request."

Chiyo then said: "Then we have to take back some of the benefits of the River Country!"

This is her real purpose.

And this is also Luosha's plan.

When the quarrel was almost over, Luosha said forcefully: "I decided to negotiate with Konoha."

"Chiyo, you go and negotiate with Shuichi Hoshita."

"One-tail, the River Country, and the companions in Kikyo Castle."

Chiyo nodded immediately: "I understand!"

She immediately got up and left, without stopping for a moment, and ran straight out of the village.

...

"You came pretty fast..."

Shuichi Hoshita smiled in the base.

A moment later, Chiyo appeared in his sight and walked into the base.

"Hideichi Hoshita, you should know the purpose of my coming here."

Chiyo got straight to the point: "So Konoha wants to negotiate an alliance, what are the conditions?"

Hoshita Hideichi shook his head: "It's not that we Konoha want an alliance, but I gave you the choice of an alliance."

"If you don't form an alliance, I don't care. Konoha will not lose this war. At most, it will suffer a little more loss."

"But other ninja villages will suffer more losses, because I have a strong desire for revenge."

Chiyo frowned. This kid is much more difficult to deal with than imagined.

Hoshita Shuichi looked at Chiyo and continued: "Now a very good choice for you Sand Village is to cooperate with us Konoha, and then confront on the surface of Kikyo Mountain."

"Once we come into contact with the Rock Ninja at the border of the Fire Country, you go north."

"The troops of Kikyo Mountain go north to block the retreat of the Rock Ninja, and here we go north to the Bird Country."

"Senior, do you think the Cloud Ninja will also attack the Rock Ninja at that time?"

Chiyo frowned, nodded reluctantly, and then said: "But our efforts are not in line with the gains, and it is difficult for the ninjas in the village to accept such a result."

The initiative is no longer in his hands, Chiyo can only make a tough request: "We can cooperate with Konoha to send troops and form an alliance with Konoha, but Konoha must return the interests of the River Country that originally belonged to our Sand Village."

"Second, the one-tail must be returned!"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head after hearing this: "The River Country is impossible, that is the price you pay for attacking Konoha!"

"As for the one-tail... it can be returned to you."

Chiyo looked at Hoshita Shuichi in astonishment after hearing this, which was completely unexpected.

She even felt that Shuichi Hoshita was crazy?

Shuichi Hoshita continued: "It's okay to return the one-tail, but not now, we have to wait three years."

Chiyo's eyes sank, and she instantly saw through Shuichi Hoshita's mind.

He won't return it after three years!

Shuichi Hoshita said: "Don't worry, since I promised, I won't break my promise."

"I also know that I will die after extracting the tailed beast, but don't forget that I am still a medical ninja."

Speak to people and speak to ghosts.

What's the point of fighting with the Sand Ninja and the Rock Ninja? Of course, let them fight to the death.

After he splits the one-tail, if Uchiha Madara wants to cause trouble in the future, he should first find the Jinchuriki of the Sand Village!

I'll eat the meat, and I'll give you the pot!

However, Shuichi Hoshita's unconventional behavior confused Chiyo. After thinking for a while, she said: "I will report these to the Kazekage truthfully."

She turned and left.

Hoshita Hideichi smiled and said, "To show my sincerity, I will remove the curse first."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and Chiyo immediately felt the chakra in her body disappear.

She paused, and then quickly disappeared.

Hoshita Hideichi watched quietly: Go and fight with the Rock Ninja!

Maybe... you can even use the Sand Ninja to destroy the Grass Ninja Village? ? ?

If the Grass Ninja Village lets the Rock Ninja march straight in, then this disobedient little brother will have no need to exist.

Destroy the Grass Ninja Village and divide the Grass Country.

Of course, this will also result in Konoha's power being directly without any buffer with the Rock Ninja.

Then change an obedient one in the Grass Ninja Village?

One evil thought after another grew in Hoshita Hideichi's heart.
