Chapter 279 Firmly Supporting Sarutobi Hiruzen
The Third Raikage held a small banquet to welcome Hatake Sakumo. Not many people attended, but they were all high-ranking figures in the Hidden Cloud Village.
"Congratulations to Senior Sakumo for escaping from the cage and gaining a new life."
Tamura Hao, who was sitting next to Hatake Sakumo, toasted him with a glass of juice. He had been plotting against him before, but he didn't expect that his wife and children would come to him before he could really do it.
He didn't care about the bond between Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Obito. After knowing that the appearance of Uchiha Obito's Kamui pupil technique was not simple, he understood that Hatake Kakashi's influence on Uchiha Obito's path was not necessary.
Without Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito would still awaken Kamui and become the key chess piece to defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki in the Fourth World War.
"Have you been plotting against me for a long time?"
Hatake Sakumo drank the sake in the cup depressedly, knowing that he had been plotted against for a long time.
"Lord Dodai has made detailed plans for all the people who can be won over. He originally wanted to wait until Sarutobi Hiruzen and others attacked the senior after this battle, and then recruit the senior.
Including the precious sword given by asking for sword skills and the Yin seal given in the Land of Hot Water, they are just preparations to further enhance the strength of the senior, so that Sarutobi Hiruzen and others will be more afraid.
It is also a preparation to let the senior not kill our ninjas in the Hidden Cloud Village on the battlefield, so as not to be hated by the ninjas in the village after coming.
It's just that we didn't expect such a change to happen, but it saved us a lot of trouble."
Tamura Hao did not deny it, and decisively put the blame on Lord Dodai, saying that everything was planned by Lord Dodai and it was also Lord Dodai's credit.
"Your assistant Raikage is really worthy of being the wisest man in the ninja world. He planned too deeply."
The corner of his eye twitched, and although Hatake Sakumo was depressed, he was convinced.
However, Hatake Sakumo's sigh made the eyes of the Third Raikage twitch, especially when they thought of Dodai's bounty that was soaring year by year, they didn't know what to say.
In this war, their Cloud Village suffered the least loss and benefited the most. Dodai's bounty will definitely increase again in the future.
If it was worthy of the name, it would be fine, but Dodai was just a scapegoat, which was very pitfall.
Of course, it is not without benefits for Dodai. Today, Dodai's reputation in the village is higher than that of the Kage, and he is an idol of many people. When he walks on the street, many girls will come forward to ask for his autograph.
"I can't attack my former companions unless they take the initiative to attack me."
After a silence, Hatake Sakumo made a request.
There is nothing wrong with joining the Cloud Village, but he can't attack the people of Konoha. This goes against his bottom line of principles.
Of course, it is not absolute. He just won't take the initiative to target his former colleagues. If they take the initiative to attack him, he can only draw his sword.
Since he has chosen to join the Hidden Cloud Village, he naturally has to show enough attitude.
"That's no problem."
The Third Raikage agreed. This is nothing.
Their goal is the entire ninja world, and even the entire world. There will be many enemies in the future.
And Hatake Sakumo has great potential. After practicing many secret techniques of their village and even integrating the swift escape, his strength will never be inferior to his own. Their Hidden Cloud Village will add a top strongman.
Such a strong man is naturally not used to deal with those small characters in Konoha.
"By the way, this sword is very suitable for seniors."
Tamura Hao handed over the Kusanagi Sword Thunder Blade that he brought before. After returning to the spirit world, he brought this sword along.
This is what he transformed from the Kusanagi Sword Thunder Blade. The original Thunder Blade was a straight blade long sword. He added a little arc to the blade, which is more conducive to chopping and cutting, and Hatake swordsmanship is mainly based on chopping.
"Clang!"
"Good sword!"
Hatake Sakumo did not refuse. He took the long sword and pulled it out, and injected chakra into the blade. The silky and smooth feeling made him applaud.
"This sword is still one step away. We will start to complete it after the senior returns to the village with us."
This sword is still a semi-finished product and lacks a matching sword spirit. This requires Hatake Sakumo to go to Turtle Island and use the real waterfall there to cut off the dark side, and then seal the core of the dark side into the blade, so that it can be integrated with the sword.
"Hmm!"
Hatake Sakumo did not ask about the specific situation, but he couldn't help but sigh at the atmosphere of the Hidden Cloud Village. No wonder so many people became real Hidden Cloud people after joining the Hidden Cloud Village.
Even Tsunade and the alive Rope Tree turned to the Hidden Cloud Village, and even went to the clan land with their clan members to join.
Everyone ate and chatted while the dinner lasted until late at night.
The next day, the Third Raikage brought Tamura Hao to a stone house made of earth escape.
Kikyoyama Castle has been completely destroyed, the mountain almost collapsed, all the buildings have become ruins, and now everyone lives in a simple stone house built by the Iwagakure ninja.
The third Tsuchikage, Ohnoki, is already waiting inside, as well as Rasa, who has just succeeded as the fourth Kazekage, and the fourth Mizukage, Terumi Kyon.
Tamura Hao took a closer look at Terumi Kyon, because according to the intelligence, this person has a daughter named Terumi Mei.
In addition, the three of them also brought an assistant, Chiyo stood behind Rasa, Huang Tu stood behind Ohnoki, and Yuanshi stood behind Terumi Kyon.
"Everyone, tell us how to sign this armistice agreement."
After the third Raikage sat down, Ohnoki spoke first and signaled everyone to talk, this gathering was to discuss the next armistice agreement to be signed with Konoha.
A truce is necessary. This Ninja World War was too brutal. All five of their Ninja Villages suffered heavy losses. Even in Yunyin Village, there were many injured and cruel people this time. There were many missing arms and legs. This kind of injury is equivalent to Yu wasted.
But the terms of the armistice agreement must be carefully discussed.
"Konoha must be made to hand over the stolen tailed beast."
Terumi Qiong said angrily that the losses to their Kirigakure Village this time were too great, and they didn’t know how long it would take for them to recover.
The most important thing is the lack of high-end power, which is difficult to make up for. Currently, the only way is to find a way with the tailed beasts. The three tails taken away by Konoha must be brought back.
"I also want to get back the Four-Tails that was taken away by Sarutobi Hiruzen, but they will definitely not hand it over, and Uchiha Fugaku and Senju Orange Sui, who own the Seven-Tails and Eight-Tails, escaped and took the Three-Tails. Shimura Danzo also ran away, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was unable to order those three people."
Onoki was also very annoyed, but he understood that there was no way to make Konoha hand it over, mainly because Konoha still maintained enough high-end power, especially Namikaze Minato.
Konoha's losses were even greater this time, and they would definitely not hand over the tailed beasts they had obtained. This was a major difficulty.
"Raikage, Konoha seems to have used a sealing technique from the Uzumaki clan to split the Nine-Tails into two, creating two Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, and possessing that kind of powerful power. Can this sealing technique be traded? "
After Luo Sha exchanged a few words with Chiyo behind him in a low voice, he asked.
Their Sunagakure Village is also in urgent need of Kage-level powerhouses. One person alone is not enough. The One-Tail Jinchuuriki is also getting older, making it increasingly difficult to suppress the One-Tail.
Although they cut off Ichibi's tail and limbs and used them to make split-tailed beast Jinchūriki, they also made Ichibi become more and more violent, making the scene non-stop.
In order to maintain the seal, the Jinchuuriki can only continue to refine chakra blessings. Over time, the body will inevitably be depleted and the life span will continue to be shortened.
He hoped to further weaken Ichibi without killing him.
At the same time, he was very keen on the power displayed by Namikaze Minato and wanted to try it.
Ohnoki and Terumi Qiong also wanted to try this, especially Ohnoki. Although his Dust Release was powerful, it was very expensive and he had to be careful every time he used it, which was very embarrassing.
If you can become a Tailed Beast Jinchūriki, or even gain power like Namikaze Minato, you can use Dust Release at will.
"That forbidden technique!"
The Third Raikage looked solemn and immediately glanced at the disciples behind him.
Seeing the teacher's view, Tamura Hao explained: "That is the forbidden technique of the Uzumaki clan, which can summon the god of death to seize other people's souls. It can be regarded as a special psychic technique.
Before his death, Mito Uzumaki used the forbidden technique to extract the soul of the Nine-Tails, and sealed it with his body in Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Nine-Rank respectively, creating two Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki.
But it requires a shadow-level powerhouse to perform it, and in the end, one's own soul will be taken away by the God of Death. It is a forbidden technique used to perish together.
Moreover, it is difficult to control the soul extracted by the Shinigami and seal it. Only a strong person like Uzumaki Mito can do it.
However, we also have a forbidden technique that can deprive the soul of the Underworld Turn Technique, which can transfer the enemy's soul from the body to a barrier. However, this forbidden technique is also very dangerous, and it is difficult for the user's soul to return to the body.
To extract the soul of the tailed beast, at least ten jounin must work together to perform the spell. "
The existence of the Underworld Turning Technique was revealed. This was what the four Sound Ninjas performed in the four battles, forcing the souls of the four Nara Shikamaru into the barrier.
"Ten jounin!"
Several people fell into thinking. The price was not small, but it was not unacceptable.
The intact Jonin must not be sacrificed, but this battle has resulted in many disabled ninjas, so we can start to arrange them.
Thinking of this, several people finally decided to purchase this forbidden technique after some discussion.
The Third Raikage would never refuse such a deal.
Although the three major ninja villages suffered heavy losses in this ninja war, they still have a lot of good things in their hands.
Next, everyone discussed the armistice agreement in detail, formulated some conditions, and finally talked about plans for the next ninja war.
"Konoha must be destroyed, it is too dangerous to keep it."
Ohnoki became more and more afraid of Konoha, even fearful.
Through this Ninja World War, they deeply realized the power of Konoha. If it weren't for the internal discord in Konoha, even the four major Ninja Villages together would be no match for them.
Even Kumogakure, the strongest among their four great ninja villages, is far inferior to Konoha. It is truly too terrifying and must be destroyed.
If we can't do it this time in the Great Ninja War, we must do it in the next Great Ninja War.
"The most threatening thing to us now is the wave of Feng Shui Gate. The Flying Thunder God technique and the Tailed Beast are almost invincible. Even if we have targeted sealing techniques and barriers, it will be difficult to completely resist it.
If Namikaze Minato is not eliminated, Konoha will not be destroyed. "
Rasa was most afraid of Namikaze Minato. She had noticed Namikaze Minato during the Chunin Exam. At that time, she was only worried about his talent in learning the flying thunder god technique. But who would have thought that he would become the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki in the blink of an eye? , and possesses such terrifying strength.
At this point, even Hao Tamura, who is also a genius, cannot compare.
The combination of Flying Thunder God Technique and Tailed Beast Jade is really confusing.
Not to mention that according to the intelligence of this battle, that wave of feng shuimen also possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan and a blood successor elimination, which is even more fatal.
Looking at the worried and fearful people, Tamura Hao could understand that the tailed beast jade thing was just like the nuclear bomb in the previous life. The nuclear bomb itself was very heartbreaking, and coupled with the teleportation and direct delivery service, it was simply terrifying. Who else could fight against it? All have liver pain.
"The space ninjutsu itself has no solution, and we can't think of a way."
The Third Raikage also showed a sad expression. It was exactly what he wanted to see that these people were so afraid of Konoha.
The Flying Thunder God is not really unsolvable, because it still requires magic as a medium. Even if Namikaze Minato has the assistance of eye skills similar to Uchiha Hikaru, it still requires a medium, which is at most a little more obscure and freer.
It only takes destroying the medium or isolating the perception of the medium to limit the flying thunder god's technique.
Even if it is rough, it can distort or shake the space, which can also limit the use of the Flying Thunder God Technique.
There are many ways, so Namikaze Minato is not a big threat to them.
Of course, this cannot be said. Shaping Konoha into a public enemy of the Four Village Alliance is what Kumogakure Village wants to do. The existence of Namikaze Minato is a good external pressure.
"Can't Hao-kun's speed limit Namikaze Minato?"
Rasa looked at Tamura Hao. Although he had been dealing with the three Uchiha Fugakus in the mountain castle in the previous battle, he also knew about this person's record, and it was the other party that restrained Namikaze Minato.
"That's not a restriction, I used Jiraiya to restrain him.
The Flying Thunder God Jutsu itself has exceeded the definition of speed. No matter how fast I am, I can't be faster than the Flying Thunder God Jutsu. In the previous confrontations, Namikaze Minato has always been in the driver's seat, and I can only passively fight back. "
Tamura Hao showed a helpless expression, and his spatial ability was indeed very helpless.
"Can't Miss Guang restrain herself?"
Terumi Qiong talked about the Uchiha Hikari, who was also a strong man who used space means.
"The talent in space is slightly worse than that of Minato Namikaze, so even if he was much stronger than Minato Namikaze in the past, he still couldn't catch him, and the gap in talent got bigger and bigger as time went on.
The light has reached its peak, but Minato Namikaze still has a lot of potential to tap into. "
Shaking his head slightly, Tamura Hao knew very well what happened to Hikari's spatial talent, which was essentially stolen from Senju Tobirama.
Even Senju Tobirama himself is not as good as Namikaze Minato in terms of space talent, let alone the talent power stolen through a heart.
"If I had known today, I should have gotten rid of him at all costs."
Clenching her fists tightly, Luo Sha was very unwilling, and her murderous intention towards the wave of Feng Shui Sect became even stronger.
"There are people like Minato Namikaze in Konoha. It's probably impossible for us to destroy them. That person's plan is too brilliant."
Onoki couldn't help but lamented Uzumaki Mito's plan again. The first Ninja War was the one who visited their four major ninja villages and ended it. Now in the Second Ninja War, they still have to leave a legacy for each other. My head hurts.
He is truly worthy of being a figure who came from the Warring States Period.
"Those people in Konoha are troublesome, leaving too many behind."
Terumi Qiong couldn't help sighing and complaining that none of the people in Konoha are fuel-efficient lamps. The first Hokage left his own cells, allowing Konoha to create strong Wood Release masters. Flooded.
The Second Hokage Senju Tobirama left behind the Flying Thunder God Jutsu and the Reincarnation of the Earth, which are both very unsolvable powers.
Uzumaki Mito created an unsolvable Namikaze Minato, which was enough to intimidate other ninja villages and force Konoha to survive.
In comparison, their four major ninja villages are much different and are not on the same level at all.
"The suppression of Konoha needs to continue. They cannot be allowed to develop unscrupulously. Our four-village alliance still needs to be maintained."
The Third Raikage expressed his stance that the Four Village Alliance must be maintained.
None of them can fight against Konoha alone, and may even be destroyed in an instant. Only by joining forces can they compete with Konoha.
The three shadows have no objection to this, this must be maintained.
"Next time I don't know which side will start the war first. I hope it won't be Konoha."
Terumi Qiong was worried about this. If it was Konoha's side that provoked the war, it would mean that they were ready, which would not be a good thing for them.
Everyone's expressions darkened, that was what they least wanted to see.
"If possible, I hope you can join us in Cloud Hidden Village to support Hiruzen Sarutobi. Only by sitting in that position can he best limit the development of Konoha."
The Third Raikage made a timely proposal and expressed his willingness to support Hiruzen Sarutobi to secure the position of Hokage. This was also the reason why he was the first to stand up and join forces with Hiruzen Sarutobi on the battlefield.
"He is indeed a good Hokage, a good Hokage for us."
Ohnoki was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
The main reason why they were able to draw a tie with Konoha in this Ninja World War was because of the plans of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others, which successively crippled the Uzushiogakure Village, the Uchiha clan, and the thousands of people in the previous battle. The hand ninja was destroyed by the army of dirt controlled by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
However, the internal conflicts in Konoha have not yet been resolved. Hinata Hizashi, Uchiha Fugaku and Senju Orange are still alive.
As long as these internal contradictions persist, Konoha cannot truly unite, and Sarutobi Hiruzen is the core point of the contradiction.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen is worthy of the title of the strongest Hokage in history!"
Rosa also agreed that Konoha reached its peak during the reign of the First and Second Hokage, and even Orochimaru, who was the deputy Hokage before, raised the strength of Konoha's strong men by at least one level.
Only during the reign of the Third Hokage did Konoha's overall strength decline instead of rise, and they even betrayed their own people in an open or covert way.
The damage caused to Konoha by Sarutobi Hiruzen and his people was greater than that caused by the four major ninja villages combined, and he deserved the title of the strongest Hokage.
"Konoha should not have a fourth generation in the future."
Terumi Yuu also expressed her support, saying that Konoha's Hokage was enough for the Third Hokage, and there was no need for a Fourth or Fifth Hokage, especially not allowing Namikaze Minato to become the Fourth Hokage.
Konoha can only be the Konoha of the Third Hokage, and for the Hokage, the four major ninja villages only recognize Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"In this case, some conditions can be appropriately lowered in the signing of the next armistice agreement."
Onoki also saw the long-term benefits and must consolidate Sarutobi Hiruzen's status in Konoha, which is much better than taking more benefits from Konoha.
It would be even more perfect if Sarutobi Hiruzen could trick Minato Namikaze to death.
