Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 131 Are you married?

PS: The description of Pain's Chibaku Tensei in the previous chapter has been fixed. I remembered it wrong and forgot that it was used by Uchiha Madara.

The violent collapse of rubble was like a torrential downpour.

It crashed down with a crackling sound on the huge dome of trees supported by Hashirama Senju. Many boulders even broke the tree trunks and fell heavily on the ground. The ninjas quickly dodged, but they could only dodge. It was not until this moment that they once again felt the power of Pain's Chibaku Tensei.

Pain frowned slightly. He just took Gaara away for convenience and did not use Super Shinra Tensei. It seemed that it gave Hinata Yuzuru a chance to rescue him. But then, his brows relaxed and he was no longer entangled. He was still healthy with Shang. The members of the Akatsuki organization simply chose to leave.

There was a faint blue light flashing in Hinata Yuzuru's eyes. Without hesitation, he chased in the direction they retreated. The other ninjas followed him subconsciously, but he just said "don't follow me" and rushed forward alone.

He, Payne and others moved extremely fast, and the other ninjas just stayed in place following the orders, and saw his back quickly disappearing from sight.

Pain was unwilling to stay here and fight at this moment, and just used Shinra Tensei to maintain the distance between him and Hyuga Yuzuru. Hyuga Yuzuru was not in a hurry to get close either, and it seemed that he had no way to deal with his Shinra Tensei. However, when the distance was a little further, he suddenly burst out with an even faster speed.

Payne's Samsara Eye has a temporary CD of five seconds when using the Shinra Tensei, and Hinata Yuzuru's speed can ensure that he can get close to the group of them within this five-second interval. Payne's face darkened and he stared. Hinata Yuzuru.

Do you really think I'm afraid of you?

At this moment, among the six paths of Pain, except for the animal path and the human path, which have been scrapped, there are also the hell path, Shura path, hungry ghost path and heavenly path.

The four puppets stopped and looked at Hinata Yuzuru with cold eyes. They threw Karatachi Yagura in their hands to Kakuzu to take back to the organization. Konan hesitated for a moment and wanted to stay, but was rejected by Pain with a wave of his hand.

"Rachel!"

A golden bolt of lightning tore through the sky, like the wrath of nature, smashing down from mid-air and landing on the ground, with smoke splashing everywhere, blocking Konan who was a step slower. Hyuga Yuzuru was wearing a white armor that was quite strange to Nagato, and facing the various missile-like attacks from Shurado at this moment, he did not dodge or evade, but just attacked Konan.

Konan snorted coldly, and his whole body turned into confetti flying away. At the moment when the confetti flew, it also turned into countless detonating tags and stuck to Hyuga Yuzuru. Hyuga Yuzuru seemed to be a step slower and failed to hit it in time. Raikiri tore through the air, and Tendo Pain stretched out his hand, his tone full of murderous intent: "Ten-Xiang Tianyin!"

The powerful suction force made Hyuga Yuzuru's feet, who were now on the ground, leave a deep mark on the ground, and the ground made a crackling sound under his feet. Pain's purpose was not to suck Hyuga Yuzuru onto his face, but to take this opportunity to make him take Konan's detonating tag.

However, Hyuga Yuzuru went with the flow and glared at the ground, speeding up and rushing towards Payne. Payne showed a cold look on his face and opened his palms: "Shinra Tensei!"

Hinata Yuzuru was pushed away by the huge repulsive force, and in the air, he was enveloped by the flames of the exploding detonating tag.

But the next moment, Xiaonan, who was pieced together by the broken pieces of paper in the air, let out a muffled groan of pain.

He had actually anticipated this and adjusted his position before being pushed away by the repulsive force. He predicted the location where the figure of Konan made of paper would appear. When he was knocked away, he seized the less than one second and threw a Flying Thunder God Kunai at Konan. He then appeared beside her in an instant and dealt her a heavy blow.

The explosive power of some detonating talismans that he was unable to avoid was absorbed by his white outer armor, which only caused his body to shake slightly. After he landed, the slight dents on his body quickly rebounded to normal.

Konan was embarrassedly wrapped up by him and was hit far away along with the repulsive force. Pain's face changed slightly, and he used the Tensei Tenjin again, bringing Konan close to him. Unexpectedly, Hinata Yuzuru stopped.

The white armor all over his body faded away, and he stood in the distance, looking at Payne with a calm tone.

"If you want to attack the Jinchūriki of other ninja villages, I don't mind, but if...
The next time we meet, if you still plan to attack Konoha, I will kill you."

There was no emotion in his words, and he was calm as if he was stating a fact.

There was a rare hint of anger in Payne's cold eyes, and at this moment, Xiaonan beside him whispered an apology: "Sorry, he was too fast."

Konan is already one of the few strong men in the ninja world, but even so, the lightning-fast fight just now made her deeply aware of how powerful Hinata Yuzuru is.

She felt a little sad about the fact that she almost held back Payne. She looked at Hinata Yuzuru with fearful eyes and floated high into the air without saying a word.

The opponent's flying speed is obviously much slower than the speed of free movement on the ground. There is still time to react in the air. If you fight with the opponent at full strength on the ground, I am afraid

Pain said calmly: "As expected of the Fifth Hokage."

"Next time we meet, I will take a good look to see if you have the ability to kill me."

Payne looked at him deeply and turned away.

Hinata Yuzuru didn't pursue him, as if he had concerns, he just let him go.

Only after Pain had gone far away did Hinata Yuzuru slightly curl the corners of his mouth, turn around, and go to the place that used to be the Chunin Examination Grounds.

The feedback from the Flying Thunder God Mark coming from Xiaonan made the smile on his face disappear for a moment.

Is Pain's Six Paths powerful?

It is very strong. Pain's Tiandao alone is very difficult to deal with. Regardless of physical skills or the Samsara Eye, he has strong combat capabilities.

But is Nagato strong?

That may not be the case.

As long as Konan returns to Akatsuki, Hyuga Yuzuru will be able to find out Nagato's location.

After getting rid of Nagato, find a way to destroy his heretic demon, and use sealing techniques or other methods to seal the heretic demon forever, then the 'Ten-Tails' that has lost its outer shell will not be able to be summoned again.

But Hinata Yuzuru is not in a hurry to do this - just like Nagato has his own plan, so does Hinata Yuzuru.

Nagato and the Akatsuki organization are also useful to Hyuga Yuzuru.

When they returned to the examination venue, which had turned into a huge and strange forest, all the ninjas inside had been settled down.

The injured ninjas were sent to the medical ninja unit led by Tsunade not far from the examination venue for treatment. The uninjured ninjas were on standby. The people of Sand Hidden Village and Kirigakure Village gathered in their respective villages in despair. Within the area, they were waiting anxiously for the return of Hinata Yuzuru.

Hyuga Yuzuru did not rush to deal with them, but found the first generation and the second generation first.

Senju Tobirama still seemed to have a serious expression. He and Hyuga Yuzuru explained the information they had observed related to Pain Six Paths, Akatsuki Organization and others. Hyuga Yuzuru didn't rely on it. He listened patiently and talked with his mind. Combined with the information you know, you can enrich your understanding of their capabilities.

After that, Senju Tobirama also mentioned the abilities of the strong ninjas from Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure Village that he had observed during the period. He was originally an intellectual ninja, and he summed up the opponent's strengths, weaknesses and flaws very well. precise.

Hinata Yuzuru also talked to him in a low voice and told him what he had experienced.

“Is there any other strange place like that?”

Senju Tobirama is very interested in the ability of Uchiha Izumi's kaleidoscope to reach the 'between hells'.

He held his hands in front of him and said thoughtfully: "It turns out that before the soul reaches the Pure Land, if the soul is unwilling and still has attachment to the human world, the soul does not need to enter the Pure Land."

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Senju Tobirama finished speaking. He turned around and saw Senju Hashirama's slightly tired face.

Senju Hashirama waved his hands and sighed, "If I had known this, maybe I should have left all the tailed beasts to Konoha."

While he was fighting, he was thinking about the changes in the ninja world so far. While observing the battlefield, he couldn't help but feel silent in his heart - if Konoha still had the complete nine tailed beasts and nine jinchūriki at this moment, perhaps other ninja villages would not dare to attack Konoha again.

Even those powerful guys who claimed to be members of the Akatsuki organization could hardly cause any trouble with the nine Jinchūriki joining forces.

Senju Tobirama chuckled twice: "Perhaps if that were the case, Konoha would have been in chaos by now. Anyway, this should be something the Godaime should worry about."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Hinata Yuzuru and raised his chin slightly: "In my opinion, our junior is not a guy without any ideas."

Senju Hashirama heard the words and looked towards Hyuga Yuzuru, but Hyuga Yuzuru just smiled and shook his head: "There is no need for the Shodaime to blame himself. Everything in the world, one drink and one peck, has its destiny. Konoha has become what it is today. The first generation has nothing to do with it.

The general trend of the world is that if things are divided for a long time, they will be united, and if they are united for a long time, they will be divided.

Even if the Nine-Tails gathered in Konoha, Konoha would still split up for various reasons. As long as humans exist and as long as desires are born, wars and invasions will never stop.

Whether the ninja world is peaceful or not, whether Konoha can be as beautiful as the first generation thought, everything depends on 'people', not so-called power.

If there is a power that can truly pacify the ninja world, it should be beyond human power."

Hinata Yuzuru stopped talking, and Senju Tobirama raised his eyebrows and glanced at him thoughtfully. After a while, he snorted and laughed: "Is that so."

Senju Hashirama didn't understand what the two of them meant by their eyes, but after listening to what they said, he no longer bothered about the fact that he had separated the tailed beasts that year, and just smiled heartily: "Anyway, it's good that Konoha is okay this time."

This time the enemy came with great force, and the Sand Village and the Mist Village joined forces. Although they failed to steal the chicken and ended up losing the rice, it was indeed a big crisis.

Being able to allow Konoha to successfully survive this crisis and even the ninja troops did not suffer any damage was an unimaginable and glorious victory.

"Anyway, I'll leave the rest of the chores to you. Also," Senju Tobirama showed a rare look of embarrassment on his face, "It's better to use Impure World Reincarnation less."

After he finished speaking, he separated his soul and sealed it in Hinata Yuzuru's body. As he and Senju Hashirama turned into dust and gradually dissipated, Senju Hashirama laughed loudly: "Tobirama, you..."

"Brother!" Senju Tobirama rudely interrupted Senju Hashirama's words, and disappeared with him with an unhappy look on his face.

Hinata Yuzuru chuckled twice.

Tobirama Senju felt a little embarrassed - in the past, he had always sent the impure earth bodies of the dead to fight for him, and had caught other ninja villages off guard. When he was scolded by others for "controlling the dead is immoral", he would just snort disdainfully, thinking why not use useful forbidden techniques.

But this time, he was summoned by his own junior, especially when Ōnoki recognized him at a glance as the one who was reincarnated using the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation that he developed, which was a bit embarrassing.

I always felt that there was something in the way Ohnoki looked at him that said, 'You finally got your comeuppance.'

But before they completely disappeared, Hinata Yuzuru whispered, "Thank you for your hard work."

The two of them disappeared completely, and vaguely, there was a look of relief and encouragement in the eyes of Hashirama Senju as he looked at him - just use it, Tobirama developed this forbidden technique for use.

The two of them are indeed brothers.

Hinata Yuzuru turned his head. At this moment, not far behind him, Rasa was looking at him with a sullen face and a somewhat apologetic smile on his face. Mei Terumi was standing beside him with a complicated expression, her eyes full of confusion and loneliness.

In this battle, there is really a loser and a winner.

Konoha won without a doubt.

That is, they showed absolutely powerful strength in front of other ninja villages and did not suffer any losses. The destroyed venue nearby was just a temporary arena.

The Akatsuki organization suffered a small loss. Although they took away the three-tailed Jinchuuriki of Goju Yagura, compared to what they expected, the harvest of one nine-tailed plus three-tailed tails could be said to be a bit of a failure. They also combined their own strength with The threat was exposed and attracted the attention of other ninja villages.

There was no way, they didn't expect Konoha to be so powerful.

Putting aside the two Susanoos, Jiraiya's Sage Mode alone was difficult to deal with, and with the assistance of Kakashi, who had mastered Kamui, and the two Hokage who emerged from the Impure World Relics, they were all very brave. This was based on the premise that Naruto, the Nine-Tails' helper, was well protected and did not participate in the battle.
The Konoha family alone is much more difficult to deal with than the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village combined.

As a result, two good players, Deidara and Hidan, were damaged.

Deidara was directly taken care of by Ohnoki and planned to be tied back to Iwagakure Village for training. Hidan's upper body was sealed into the scroll by Kakashi, and his lower body was still hanging on the tree at the moment!
Kakuzu lost two hearts, and that was because he ran so fast. This old man had excellent eyesight and would never fight with a guy who was obviously difficult to deal with. He just followed Pain's Six Paths and did nothing the whole time.

Chigaki Kisame was also seriously injured and was almost killed instantly by a single shot from Kotoamatsukami. Later, he was almost burned to death by Itachi's Amaterasu. Fortunately, Pain thought he was still useful and saved him, otherwise he would have probably died on the spot.

The ones who lost the most were Kirigakure Village and Sand Hidden Village.

Sunagakure Village is slightly better. Rasa is still alive. Although a lot of elite ninjas died, the jinchūriki are still there, leaving Aoyama without fear of running out of firewood. Rasa can only comfort herself. There is still hope for people alive. .

The Kirigakure Village was completely destroyed.

The Mizukage was taken away and his life or death is unknown. What's even more sad is that during the battle, the Kirigakure ninjas discovered that their own Mizukage was controlled by someone and had serious mental problems. After this battle, not only did they have to bear the tragic defeat, but they also had to face the pitiful dilemma of losing their jinchūriki.

The tailed beasts are gone, the Mizukage is gone, and the village has lost its talent and economy due to the high-pressure policy of the Blood Mist Village.
Mei Terumi closed her eyes in pain. She really couldn't imagine what the future of the Hidden Mist Village would be. She even had no idea how to get over the current hurdle.

Facing Hinata Yuzuru's gaze, Luo Sha and Mei Terumi showed roughly the same attitude. He slowly walked closer, and Luo Sha took the initiative to speak: "Godaime, Sunagakure is willing to pay the price for this matter. I was also deceived by the Mist Shadow and mistakenly believed in these treacherous people in the Akatsuki organization, which led me astray and brought me to this point today.

I am willing to promise in the name of Kazekage that this time we will sign a peace contract with Konoha as the defeated party and admit Sunagakure's mistake this time. "

His attitude was extremely low, but he vaguely put the main blame on Gouju Yagura.

Mei Terumi's face changed slightly. Even though her mind was a little confused at the moment, with sadness, anger, and confusion mixed together, at this moment, as the strongest person still alive from the Kirigakure side, she had to fulfill her responsibility for the Kirigakure Village.

Therefore, Mei Terumi decisively acted angry and rebuked, "It's clear that the Sand Village took the initiative to cooperate in this matter! The Mizukage was controlled. During this operation, the Kirigakure tried to dissuade him, but the Mizukage insisted on doing it. Who knows, maybe you and the Akatsuki did something together!"

She didn't wait for Rasa to reply angrily, then continued to look at Hinata Yuzuru, lowered her head, and begged: "Please ask the Fifth Hokage for a clear warning. The Mizukage was clearly controlled by someone and did such a thing. We just It's just that I was coerced to this point, especially me personally, who has no ill intentions towards Konoha at all.

We are willing to bear the consequences for the Mizukage's mistakes, but we ask the Fifth Hokage to consider the current situation of the Hidden Mist Village."

Luo Sha interrupted her rudely: "Who knows when the Mizukage was controlled? It's a joke among jokes that the dignified Mizukage could be controlled by illusions. In my opinion, it might be a farce caused by the power struggle within Kirigakure. What is Kirigakure thinking? Please think about it carefully, Fifth Hokage!"

Hinata Yuzuru had no interest in wasting time arguing with them here. Right now the battlefield needed to be cleaned up and this mess needed to be tidyed up. He also had plans for the interests of them that were worth exploiting.

Therefore, Hyuga Yuzuru just said: "We can discuss this matter later. Since Sand Village and Mist Village were able to stop in time and fight against Akatsuki together, I don't want to kill them all."

After hearing this, Luo Sha and Mei Terumi both breathed a sigh of relief. Konoha Village has always been gentle to the outside world, and has a generous demeanor of forgiving others when possible. It seems that this time, it should be the same as before.
"But I once said that if you want to become my enemy, you have to pay the price. It hasn't been long since I said this. Have you two forgotten it?"

He chuckled twice, and at this moment he pulled down his hat, with his long white hair gently fluttering behind it. His dark blue eyes stared at Luo Sha quietly, and the coldness in his eyes made Luo Sha subconsciously clench his teeth.

He doesn't want to take action, does he?
Luo Sha unconsciously spread his toes slightly, which was a posture that was convenient for exerting force. However, at the same time that his body was instinctively on guard, Konoha's ninjas had appeared around him, pulling him away. Surrounded by a group of people, their expressions were as determined and dull as a rock. Facing this famous generation Feng Ying, there was no trace of respect or fear on their faces.

Hinata Yuzuru didn't say a word. The Konoha ninjas around him just looked at Rasa and Terumi Mei. The two of them even breathed a little cautiously. Sunagakure and Kirigakure gathered in the distance tightened their weapons. , ready to move, with a look of despair on his face.

There is no other way. If Konoha really wants to kill them all, they can't just surrender and let the Konoha ninjas cut off their heads.

"I would like to ask Miss Terumi Mei and the Yondaime Kazekage to stay in Konoha for a few days. Once we have reached an agreement, we will send someone to take you back to the village.

As long as you two are truly willing to take responsibility for your mistakes."

Hinata Yuzuru's tone was calm, but at the end of the sentence, he stared at the two of them meaningfully. Rasa and Terumi Mei had nothing to say, so they could only nod and agreed.

For Luo Sha, it was good enough to be able to talk. The Sand Village had suffered another heavy blow this time, and he had no intention of doing anything big.

Terumi Mei didn't care even more - she just whispered: "I am willing to stay in Konoha.

However, the death of the Mizukage is of great concern, and the fact that he was manipulated must be reported back to the village as soon as possible. Could the Hokage allow a few ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village to go back and report the news? Otherwise, the Hidden Mist Village is leaderless at the moment, and it is possible that it will fall into complete chaos.

Even if I have negotiated terms with the Hokage, it will be meaningless if the people in the Hidden Mist Village do not agree."

"Okay." Hinata Yuzuru nodded in agreement. It was enough for Mei Terumi to stay here. Apart from her, the only people in the Hidden Mist Village who could bear the title of Kage at the moment were a few old guys who were almost at the standard of the Impure World Reincarnation. They were nothing to be afraid of.

After he reached an agreement with the two of them, he looked at the Konoha ninja beside him and quickly gave instructions.

The first is to be alert to whether other ninja villages may take this opportunity to do something, including the two defeated ninja villages. The other is to inspect and repair the towns near the battlefield.

Even though it was a long way from the town at this moment, the destructive power of the ninjas still caused some damage to it. Fortunately, there were evacuation facilities to protect it, and the ninjas of Konoha had evacuated it in advance, so there was nothing wrong with the personnel. damage.

In addition, the casualties of Konoha must also be counted.

Even though Hyuga Yuzuru has made enough preparations, there will still be casualties in war, unless they do not step onto the battlefield - this is the fate of ninjas.

The number of people harmed by the Six Paths of Pain and the Akatsuki members must be counted, and the number of people harmed by the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village must be counted even more, and matters such as pensions must be implemented in place.

Next, we need to send the people from Kumogakure and Iwagakure away as soon as possible.

Both sides suffered slight damage in this battle, but the Hidden Cloud Village suffered almost no damage, and the Hidden Iwagakure Village also suffered little damage. Konoha is definitely not to blame for this, but it must also be wary of the other side taking the opportunity to quibble, or to share the fruits of victory that belong to Konoha.

It is not safe to keep two Kage and Jinchūriki around Konoha. A Kage-level battle can easily destroy mountains and split rocks. No matter how good the quality of Konoha's buildings is, they cannot withstand the aftermath of a Tailed Beast Cannon.

Unexpectedly, the two hidden villages did not get entangled for too long. It seemed that before the battle was over, the two shadows gathered together to talk about something in private, and they left very happily without any dragging their feet.

Everything was going smoothly in the early stages of the Chunin Exam this time, but when it was almost over, a big wave suddenly occurred, but it was exactly what everyone expected. Although the scene was much bigger than originally thought and the protagonists of the conflict had changed slightly, because everyone was tacitly prepared, the damage caused was still controllable.

Hinata Yuzuru reorganized the team and returned to Konoha. In just two days, Konoha began to return to its normal life track and the ninja troops returned to normal operation, which also made the "hostages" who had been staying in Konoha feel somewhat relieved.

Just three days after the battle, Hyuga Yuzuru took the initiative to invite Rasa and Mei Terumi to the conference room to discuss how to deal with the sneak attack on Kirigakure and Sunagakure.

To be more precise, it is a compensation plan.

Rasa was already prepared to be yelled at by the other lion, but when Hyuga Yuzuru actually made Konoha's request to him, Rasa still shook his head like a rattle: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. "

But when Luo Sha refused, his expression turned cold, and he put down the tea cup in his hand with some embarrassment. He looked at Hinata Yuzuru, who was smiling with squinting eyes. Feeling the unspoken threat in it, he could only sigh.

"The Fifth Generation Hokage, the Sunagakure side can agree to all the commercial terms you mentioned, including zero tariffs for trade between the two parties, twenty-year commercial tax exemptions, full opening of commercial trade, including assistance in building factories, etc., we can all Talk slowly.

But leaving Gaara in Konoha is absolutely not an option."

Luo Sha began to rack his brains to think of a solution, and finally brought up the first generation of Senju Hashirama, saying: "Shukaku is the foundation of the Sand Village. If even it is given to Konoha, what difference will it make if the Sand Village is disbanded?"

"Then let's disband." Hinata Yuzuru said as a matter of course. He smiled, looked at Luo Sha and said leisurely: "It is always people who maintain the existence of the village, not the tailed beasts. If the loss of one tail can cause the Sand Village to disband, then I think it is better for the Sand Village to disband.

What's more, I will protect Gaara's life and guarantee that as long as he is willing to stay in Konoha, I will not extract the tailed beast from his body, unless we find a way to extract the tailed beast without harming the Jinchūriki."

Hinata Yuzuru paused after he finished speaking, and said, "When the first Kazekage founded the village, weren't the tailed beasts of Sand Village also captured? Why is it that the Yondaime wants to disband the village when there are no tailed beasts?

What's more, if you keep one tail in the Sand Village, are you really confident that you can stop the Akatsuki organization from coveting you?"

After these words were spoken, Luo Sha remained silent.

He thought and weighed the pros and cons carefully in his mind, but he really couldn't bear to part with Gaara. It's not because he was his son, but because if the Sand Village lost the tailed beast, with its current strength, it would be like a bunch of losers.

The older generation of ninjas, namely the elites headed by old lady Chiyo and her group of old guys, can ensure the high-end combat power of the Sand Village in the short term, but the younger elites suffered heavy casualties in this mission. Looking forward, it is still unknown how many people can grow up.

If I lose my Jinchūriki, what if something unexpected happens to me?
Luo Sha suddenly felt a little regretful - if I had known this, I would not have sent a talented ninja like Ye Cang to die in vain, and I should not have always attacked Konoha. It would have been better for me to simply submit to Konoha, take some small things from the Hidden Mist Village, and when a fight breaks out, I would go first. Who knows, life might be more comfortable than it is now.

Although he was not good at business, he knew that once the business was completely opened, Konoha's financial system would quickly destroy the originally fragile ecological balance of the Sand Village. Even from a realistic point of view, if Konoha's business sector expanded like Sand Village, it would bring a large number of jobs and materials to Sand Village.

But from the perspective of the ninja village structure, it is tantamount to transferring part of the lifeblood of the Sand Village to Konoha.

If one day, people in Sunagakure Village use Konoha products, and their wages depend on trade with Konoha. There will be people working for Konoha companies everywhere in the Country of Wind. Over time, let alone Sunagakure Village, I'm afraid even the Kingdom of Wind will become Konoha's back garden!

Looking at the current situation of the Land of Fire, who doesn’t understand Konoha’s ambition?
He clearly wants to find a new way, holding up money in one hand, democracy and peace in the other, wanting to get rid of the restrictions of the Ninja Village, Jianguo!
This time when they go back, if nothing unexpected happens, the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Iwagakure Village will probably not be outdone and take similar actions. On the one hand, they dare not go to war with Konoha at will because of the emergence of the Akatsuki organization, but on the other hand, Konoha's current prosperity and strength are enough to make people fearful and think deeply.

But one step slow leads to every step slow. While the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Rock Village are catching up, the Hidden Sand Village can only gradually become a puppet of Konoha. The gap can only get bigger and bigger. In the end, does the Hidden Sand Village still have a chance to turn things around?

Luo Sha kept thinking over and over in his mind that the only way to break the impasse was to fight a fierce battle with Konoha. Only by winning could the dilemma of Sand Village be resolved, but the reality was...
Damn it, I already lost the fight!
The anger and despair in Luosha's heart made him feel so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, but looking at the smiling Hinata Yuzuru, he could only smile reluctantly: "Can you let me think about it again and discuss it with the elders in the Sand Village? Even as the Kazekage, I can't decide on this matter alone."

Hinata Yuzuru nodded and didn't rush him. When the meat was in the bowl, he could still run away. Wasn't his work in vain?

Turning his head, he looked at Mei Terumi, who looked rather haggard at the moment, with her usually charming face wearing light makeup. At this moment, he just sighed, "I personally think that the conditions proposed by Konoha are very reasonable, and I am willing to cooperate. However, I also need to get the contents of the peace treaty confirmed by the elders of the Hidden Mist Village before I can give you an answer."

Hyuga Yuzuru nodded slightly, and then said calmly: "This incident has not only hurt my friendship with you, but also deeply hurt the friendship between our ninjas, villagers and all ninja villages in Konoha.

If I can't come up with a good explanation, as the acting Hokage, I won't be able to convince the public. I ask you two to think carefully and make a decision properly.

I am definitely not a person who says one thing and does another. The conditions we have negotiated today are said to be for Konoha, but they are also real and can bring benefits to Sunagakure and Kirigakure and bring welfare to the people of both sides.

As a Kage, and as one of the leaders of Kirigakure Village, I hope that the two of you can think not only from their own perspective, the perspective of the so-called powerful people, but also from the perspective of the people in the ninja world.

War must be eliminated, no matter what means are used. I hope that during my lifetime, the ninja world can truly usher in a century of peace and prosperity.

The five hidden villages are of the same lineage and are all ninjas. No matter the Wind Kingdom, Fire Kingdom, or Water Kingdom, they should not be an obstacle to our mutual communication, nor should they be a reason for us to fight each other.

The establishment of your hidden villages may be different from that of Konoha, but I know that the ninjas of Konoha know that the purpose of Konoha's existence since the beginning is to protect those children who were displaced by the war and those ninjas who will never be reborn in the endless chaos and fighting.

I hope that your ninja villages can also be like Konoha, longing for true peace and finding the true meaning of ninja villages."

Hinata Yuzuru's words made Luo Sha's mouth twitch slightly, but his heart was not touched at all. However, after a moment of silence, Terumi Mei sighed softly. She nodded and said with a bit of longing and loneliness: "If one day the Hidden Mist Village can become like Konoha, it will also belong to my heart."

'traitor. ’ Rasa glanced at Terumi Mei without any trace, feeling disdainful in his heart. He originally thought that the people in Kirigakure Village, who believed in the Blood Mist Village, should be able to understand what is the most important thing in this ninja world.

But now it seems that she is just a woman after all.

Too weak.

The peace of Konoha is only built on the strength of Konoha.

And no matter how powerful the beings are, even figures like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, there is a time when their souls return to the Pure Land.

The first Hokage was so high-spirited that he even divided the tailed beasts at his request. But now, hadn't Hinata Yuzuru come out from the filthy soil of the underworld to rescue him? Konoha is still in turmoil. It wasn't until Hinata Yuzuru appeared that there was a sign of revival. He broke free from the sliding track.

It is conceivable that there is no so-called peace in this world.

Never.

The people's survival depends on war. As long as the Sand Village still lives in the desert, the people of the Sand Village will never live a happy life like Konoha.

The same should be true for the Hidden Mist Village living on an isolated island.

Rasa was somewhat disappointed with Mei Terumi, thinking that this woman would probably become Konoha's close-knit "number one lackey" in the future. He had a plan in mind, but became more and more lost and desperate. He felt that everyone else was drunk but he was the only one sober. For a moment, he even felt a little discouraged and wanted to give up.

There is no chance of him relying on himself.

The super combat power displayed by Hyuga Yuzuru this time, although only briefly, was enough to shock him. The power of the Rinnegan of Pain of the Akatsuki organization was completely beyond his imagination.

That simply shouldn't be the power a ninja should have.

Without the cooperation of multiple Kage levels, Hinata Yuzuru would never be able to defeat him.

But nowadays, Konoha is full of talented people. There are three terrifying Sharingan alone, not to mention that the three famous ninjas have also returned to Konoha and demonstrated amazing Kage-level combat power.

What the hell is this a village?
The Hidden Leaf Village?

Just change it to Shadow Village!
They are all Naruto.

What's even more shameless is that during the fight, they can still call for help, and the people they call for help are their own ancestors. Counting the Hokage before them, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is still alive, and the Fourth Hokage has not been subjected to the Impure World Reincarnation.

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has not yet grown up, but the young Konoha ninjas of the same age as him who took the Chunin Exam together have all shown absolutely outstanding potential.

In terms of combat power, future war potential, economic strength, materials, and reputation, Konoha is superior to Sand Village in every aspect. Even the leader, Hyuga Yuzuru, seems to be an ambitious guy.
I tried my best.

Luo Sha stood up with a dull look on his face and said, "I will give the Fifth Hokage a reply as soon as possible. If there is nothing else, I will go back to rest. Gaara, I will stay at your place for now."

After returning from the battlefield, Konoha had detained Gaara, the Jinchūriki, and placed him in a special 'ward' to recuperate. Even though he appeared to be very emotionally unstable, he was not a complete lunatic after all. After realizing his current situation, he just closed himself indifferently and allowed Konoha to imprison him.

No one knew what Gaara was thinking.

Luo Sha didn't care either.

No matter how he thought about it, he felt that he probably couldn't keep his Jinchūriki. The only leniency Konoha could show was to sign a business agreement like playing the long game to catch a big fish, which was already considered generous. If he were the Hokage, he would at least have to
Forget it, there really is nothing worth coveting in Sunagakure.

But the preferential treatment that the Hidden Mist Village received made Luo Sha vaguely envious. Although everyone signed the same trade treaty that would cause endless troubles, but... didn't the Hidden Mist Village also gain an extra Jinchūriki?

Luo Sha left in frustration, but Terumi Mei stayed in the conference room. She didn't have much to worry about at the moment. Things in the village were beyond her reach. There was no use except for random thoughts. She could only be held here as a hostage. .

After figuring out that she was unable to resist, she felt relieved. After returning to her normal state of mind, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, looked at Hinata Yuzuru, hesitated for a moment, and asked a question that had been lingering in her mind for a long time.

"Lord Godaime."

Hinata Yuzuru picked up the teacup, took a sip, raised his eyes, and looked at her with a smile - people are in high spirits when they are happy, and no matter how you look at it, he has won this time, so naturally he will not give a bad look to the losers who are willing to cooperate.

Anyway, I win in every aspect, so just be generous.

"are you married?"

puff!
Almost spitting out a mouthful of tea, Hinata Yuzuru looked at her in amazement, but Terumi Mei waved her hands and said, "No, it's not what you think. What I mean is that if these trade agreements and peace treaties can be signed, can people between our two sides circulate naturally?
I mean, in Konoha, what is the average marriageable age for women? "

She looked expressionless, and seemed to be just speaking casually as she said, "A very prominent problem in the Hidden Mist Village today is that after the Mizukage was controlled by someone, the Hidden Mist Village has continued its blood mist policy for many years, causing most men to die before they get married, and the gender ratio is greatly unbalanced.

In the Hidden Mist Village today, there are many older women who do not have suitable marriage partners, and many are single. I was thinking that if Konoha could have friendly exchanges with the Hidden Mist Village, maybe they could solve the people's livelihood issues in the Hidden Mist Village.

Even though the Mizukage made an unforgivable mistake, became a tool of the enemy, and damaged our friendship.

But please believe me, I and the vast majority of Kirigakure Village ninjas really have no ill intentions towards Konoha.

So, just ask for the older female ninja companions in the village.

Girls, or men in Konoha Village, generally, at what age can they accept a girl and be willing to marry her? "

Hinata Yuzuru had a strange look on his face and fell silent as he looked at Mei Terumi.

The companion you are talking about, is it you?
