In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 138 The Konoha Crush Plan, The Ticket to Mount Myōboku
"Ao, can you take me to the battlefield where Naoki-sama and Jiraiya fought?"

Shizuku wiped away the blood and tears streaming from his eyes and raised his head.

"I also want to lend Naoki-sama a hand!"

"The two of us?"

Ao looked at Uchiha Shisui's eyes, which were different from those of ordinary Uchiha, and became wary.

Those eyes gave him a sense of threat he had never felt before!

If he can make me feel threatened, doesn't that mean his strength has improved?

What if Uchiha Shisui's betrayal was just a pretense? Wouldn't that pose a threat to Naoki-sama?

"Yes."

Still water seems to be able to see into people's hearts.

"As you know, I have no chance of returning to Konoha."

"This time, I'm here to tell Konoha my decision, Uchiha Shisui."

"I believe you."

Qing turned around.

It wasn't Shisui's eloquent speech that dispelled his doubts.

Instead, he thought of Naoki-sama.

Even if Shisui is incredibly powerful, what can he do?
The Mizukage will never lose.

Moreover, on that chosen battlefield, there is still a heavy encirclement by our Hidden Mist Division.

No matter how strong they are, they are destined to perish.

It's better to expose our feigned betrayal now than to lie low later.

"I'll take you away."

The two of them started walking and ran towards the distance.

Our destination: the battlefield outside the village!
"Naoki Kaguya, what exactly do you want?"

Jiraiya's face darkened as he looked at the Flying Thunder God mark on his arm, his expression turning grim.

My heart was unusually anxious.

Marked by the Flying Thunder God Technique, this is going to be difficult.

The chances of defeating him are getting lower and lower.

"not so good."

Naoki Kaguya stood on the branch, looking quite relaxed.

"Now that this mark has been placed on him, Jiraiya's life is in my hands."

"You're too arrogant!"

"Do you think you can kill me at any time?"

Jiraiya's expression turned solemn, and with a clap of his hands, two sages squatted down on either side of his shoulders.

He was about to unleash his strongest trump card the moment the battle began.

He knew that if he didn't do this, it would be very difficult to defeat Kaguya Naoki!
White smoke fell.

The two toad sages landed on either side of Jiraiya's shoulders.

Just as they were about to exchange the usual pleasantries, their eyes were involuntarily drawn to Kaguya Naoki.

The familiar figure and the terrifying chakra made both of them immediately realize that this was no longer the time to continue making a ruckus.

"Little Jiraiya, is this Kaguya Naoki?"

"That water shadow prophesied by the Toad Sage."

"Yes."

"This is Kaguya Naoki. He's very strong, and I'm not confident I can defeat him."

"Two immortals, now is not the time to talk about these things. Please help me fight a battle."

The two toad sages solemnly formed hand seals, and Jiraiya prepared for battle.

Sage Mode?
Jiraiya in Sage Mode is incredibly powerful and can definitely cause me some trouble.

However, I am a man who possesses sealing techniques, the Byakugan, and the Flying Thunder God Technique simultaneously.

Even if we can't defeat that powerful Rinnegan user.

I could easily beat you up.

but.

What's the point of all this fighting?

In any case, Jiraiya, who was destined to return to Mount Myōboku at any time, was doomed to perish.

It would be better to exchange it for some benefits.

Naoki Kaguya chuckled.

"Who said I was going to fight you two?"

"I want to talk to you about bringing Minato Namikaze and Hizashi Hyuga back to Konoha."

Jiraiya's heart skipped a beat. Looking at Kaguya Naoki's ambiguous smile, he felt a chill run down his spine and became wary.

"Kid, do you think I'd believe you?"

"He's just a useless cripple. Why would I hand him over to Konoha and let him waste his life here?"

Naoki Kaguya suddenly changed the subject.

"and."

"Letting that piece of trash Minato Namikaze return to Konoha and accept the fate of being mocked and oppressed that he deserves seems to make me feel better."

"it is good."

The wariness in Jiraiya's eyes had not completely dissipated.

"What are the conditions?"

"condition?"

There aren't many conditions on the surface, but there are many hidden considerations.

Of course, the goal is to send Minato Namikaze, the catalyst for this conflict, back to Konoha.

If I can anger Obito and make him continue the Nine-Tails' destruction plan, it will naturally give me an opportunity to obtain Kushina and Naruto.

Furthermore, they can leverage Hyuga Hizashi, the leader of the branch family, to influence the Hyuga branch family.

Of course, I can also force you to make even greater concessions when you face my immense pressure from the Hidden Mist.

These potential benefits could not be revealed to Jiraiya.

Naoki Kaguya gathered his thoughts and straightened his expression.

“If we simply send Minato Namikaze back like this, not only will I be unhappy, but I’m sure you will be uneasy as well.”

"Naoki Kaguya".

Jiraiya's expression was solemn.

"Don't think I don't know you can summon Minato to Kirigakure at any time."

"Wherever he is, he is under the influence of your Mist Village."

"Therefore, don't expect Konoha to pay the price for this."

"Hyuga Hizashi is fine, right?"

Naoki Kaguya sighed.

"If this person stays in Kirigakure, they can continue to propagate many Hyuga bloodlines for us."

"of course can."

Jiraiya readily agreed.

Even if Danzo is the Hokage, he won't give up the possibility of bringing Hyuga Hizashi back to Konoha!

"And what are your conditions in Konoha?"

Jiraiya's brow twitched.

"I'm afraid I'm not qualified to talk about these things."

"You have."

Naoki Kaguya looked intently at Jiraiya and the two toad sages on his shoulders.

"I wonder if I could go and see the scenery of Mount Myoboku?"

"No."

Jiraiya should have decisively refused.

"Maybe."

The two immortals offered opposing suggestions.

"Jiraiya, he is also one of the people prophesied by the Great Toad Sage."

The hermit Fukasaku offered this advice.

Mount Myōboku is not the Mount Myōboku of Konoha, but the Mount Myōboku of the Great Toad Sage.

Jiraiya has no right to interfere.

"Then we'll listen to the two immortals."

Jiraiya agreed verbally, his face as black and hard as iron.

Looking at Naoki Kaguya's face, she felt increasingly disgusted.

There is also a deep-seated fear.

If this guy were to learn Sage Mode, he'd probably conquer the entire ninja world!

We absolutely must find a way to stop him!
Naoki Kaguya accepted the scroll handed to him by the two immortals.

Shima and Fukasaku exchanged a glance, offered no further explanation, and disappeared into the forest.

It is clear that war will not break out again today.

Jiraiya thought so too, and so did Kaguya Naoki.

Just as the two were about to exchange a glance and silently part ways, at the edge of the forest, two figures broke through the encirclement of the ANBU ninjas and charged straight in.

It is still water and green.

Does it mean "still water"?

"Is this a sign of breaking with Konoha?"

Kaguya Naoki opened her Byakugan with great interest, and then slowly saw the windmill spinning in Uchiha Shisui's pupils.

kaleidoscope?
when?
Naoki Kaguya quickly figured out the reason.

Defecting Konoha!
These four words were enough to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan in the exceptionally talented Uchiha Shisui. He truly was a terrifying individual.
-
finally reached!

Upon seeing the familiar white hair and the figure of Kaguya Naoki, Uchiha Shisui silently activated his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Having these eyes is enough for me to participate in such a battle!

and.

I will tell Naoki-sama my decision in this battle.

Only in this way can

Shisui confidently touched his pupils, then leaped into the battlefield, arriving beside Kaguya Naoki.

After glancing at Jiraiya with eyes full of hatred and loathing, he slowly turned around and looked at Kaguya Naoki.

His expression was complex, then solemn.

He pointed to his forehead, where the Mist Shadow headband was hanging.

Then, he bent down and knelt.

"Greetings, Lord Mizukage!"

Kaguya Naoki looked at Shisui in front of him and solemnly took his hand.

Turning his head, he looked into Jiraiya's eyes, which were filled with anger and hatred, and felt a sense of refreshment.

What could be more satisfying than getting a ticket to Mount Myōboku in front of Jiraiya, a ninja from Konoha, and bringing Konoha ninjas under your control?
Maybe there is.

But there aren't many left.

The threshold has been raised.

The next time will probably be when I see the entire Hyuga branch family split in two, and when all those outstanding clansmen will join my Hidden Mist Village in the future.

"Shisui."

Jiraiya's face darkened.

"You should know that if you join Kirigakure, your family's future will be even worse."

"I know."

Zhishui was very serious.

"Lord Jiraiya, there's no need to use this argument to prove that my choice was wrong!"

"If I don't make a choice, don't work hard, and don't pursue a new era, my family will perish sooner or later!"

"not to mention."

Zhi Shui's expression was ferocious.

"If the Fourth Hokage is still in power, what difference would it make whether I betray him or not?"

"Since my clan will inevitably be destroyed by a coup under that person's oppression sooner or later, I might as well let Uchiha Shisui do his best to save the clan!"

Jiraiya fell silent.

Naoki Kaguya silently applauded his ally.

If it weren't for this ally's repeated support, he, Wuyin, wouldn't have been able to transform into what he is today in such a short time.

"You'll regret this, Shizuo."

Jiraiya was very serious.

"I won't regret it."

Shisui suddenly laughed, pointing to his forehead. The Kirigakure headband reflected the moonlight, stimulating Jiraiya's pupils.

It hurt him even more.

"What I removed was not only the headband of Konoha, but also the Caged Bird Seal that Konoha had imprinted on my spirit."

A caged bird?
As Jiraiya listened to Shisui's words, his eyes widened involuntarily.

How could the spirit of protecting Konoha be like a caged bird?

"This is the headband of the Hidden Mist."

"It is also the key to unlocking the caged bird."

"This time, I, Uchiha Shisui, have finally faced my own heart."

Jiraiya opened his mouth as if to speak.

At that moment, in that dark alley not long ago, Zhi Shui's questions echoed in his mind.

By putting himself in Shisui's shoes and breaking free from conventional thinking, he was able to understand Shisui's inner struggle.

What if we go even further and look at the world from a perspective that's like a caged bird in Konoha?
The moment Jiraiya had this thought, his expression changed abruptly.

Once I was free from those thoughts, the first thing that came to mind was Kirigakure!

The reforms of Mist Village, the changes in Mist Village, and the future of Mist Village.

Jiraiya shook his head.

The throbbing in my heart dissipated.

No matter what, he is still a member of the Hidden Mist Village.

I need to find a way to bring this reform back.

I just don't know if Danzo will agree!
Jiraiya struggled with his thoughts, while Kaguya Naoki watched with interest, and Shisui waited quietly for a reply.

For a moment, the forest was silent, and fallen leaves drifted down.

Zhi Shui waited in vain for a reply and began to feel somewhat disheartened.

"Lord Jiraiya, please inform Konoha that I have defected."

"besides."

Shisui turned around, his expression becoming solemn again.

"Lord Mizukage, shall we launch an attack on Jiraiya?"

"no need."

Naoki Kaguya waved his hand.

"Please have Jiraiya take this message and the terms back for us."

Jiraiya's thoughts returned to his mind, and he looked at Kaguya Naoki with an even more complicated expression.

Now, he carries a more solemn mission and cannot waste a single moment here.

"I am leaving."

"and many more."

Naoki Kaguya smiled.

"To avoid any unforeseen complications, how about the three of us deliver Minato Namikaze to Jiraiya right now?"

Jiraiya glanced at Shisui and clenched his fist.

I don't think it's necessary.

"I think so."

Naoki shook his head.

"If it's not tonight, then don't bother going back."

Jiraiya narrowed his eyes.

"Then let's go, Lord Mizukage."

Naoki Kaguya nodded in satisfaction, walked up to Jiraiya, and at the same time pressed on Shisui's shoulder, instantly disappearing from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were already outside Minato Namikaze's house.

Kaguya Naoki glanced thoughtfully at Hyuga Hizashi's room before nodding slightly.

"You two go inside and talk."

"After all, this is your family matter."

"I'm going to say goodbye to my Hyuga relatives."

Naoki Kaguya waved, and Jiraiya was about to step inside.

Shisui turned the eyes of the kaleidoscope.

"Lord Jiraiya, let me make some preparations first."

"Now, let's stop for now."

"Kid."

Jiraiya lowered his voice.

"Don't think that just because you have a pair of kaleidoscope eyes you can do whatever you want."

“I have never thought that way.”

"It's just that the Hidden Mist ninjas with the Mangekyou Sharingan can do whatever they want."

Jiraiya waved his hand, feeling somewhat annoyed, and stopped.

Shisui took a deep breath and looked into the doorway, hesitant.

Although he could freely attack and mock Jiraiya, his enemy.

But in front of Minato Namikaze, that incredibly kind man who advised him to step out of his shadow, he genuinely felt a sense of shame.

Inside the gate, Minato Namikaze was not asleep.

He was staring at the ceiling, quietly waiting for tomorrow morning.

Water gate.

Watergate, which can do nothing.

Let's wait for news here.

Can Jiraiya really escape back with Shisui?

If we can't go back, will we kill Shisui?

We'll have the answer tomorrow.

Minato sighed.

And then there's Naruto.

Will I ever be able to see you?

Ku Yukina.

Are you ok?

You should be able to stay calm even without my help, right?
I really want to go back to Konoha.

I really want to see them again.
