Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 520: Letter from Yunyin
"."

"Uh, am I here at a bad time?"

Qing held the letter from Yunyin in his hand and stood there at a loss, not knowing why Jianchuan Ju and Elder Yuanshi were looking at him strangely.

"Master Yuan, please explain this to Teacher Qing."

Jianchuan Ju took the scroll with a strange look on his face and looked at it, while Elder Yuanshi on the other side repeated the conversation between the two of them in a low voice with some amusement.

"What? The Fourth Raikage was controlled by an illusion?"

Qing looked at Jianchuan Ju with astonishment. Obviously, he did not expect that this trip to the Five Kage Summit would bring back such shocking news.

"Well, it's just speculation at the moment."

Elder Yuanshi interrupted Qing's subsequent questions with a slightly serious expression.

Although he was also extremely shocked when he heard the news.

The Hidden Cloud Village, one of the five great ninja villages, could actually be secretly controlled by someone so quietly.

But when he thought about his own Third Mizukage, who had once been controlled by an outsider's illusion, he couldn't seem to laugh at all.

Elder Yuanshi simply looked at Jianchuan Ju who was still reading the letter and asked.

"Mizukage-sama, what is the matter with the letter from Kumogakure?"

Jianchuan Ju frowned slightly upon hearing this, and handed the scroll to the two of them with a somewhat strange look on his face, while explaining.

"It seems that Kumogakure wants me to attend the peace talks between Kumogakure and Konoha as a witness."

No wonder Jianchuanju looks strange at this moment.

This kind of peace talks between villages are inherently a relatively private matter.

After all, no one knows whether the two villages will sign some unequal treaty that will humiliate the villages.

So most of the time, they will only send a signal at the end that the negotiation is complete.

Even the lower-level ninjas in this village may not fully know the specific contents of the treaty.

Other forces in the ninja world can often only guess the general content based on subsequent developments.

Especially confidential information like Konoha betraying the Hyuga clan, or Sunagakure betraying its own hero Yekura.

If any word of this were to leak out, it would very likely lead to a large number of rebellious ninjas appearing in the village.

At times like this, we ask an outsider like him to serve as a witness.

Aren’t they afraid that Kirigakure will spread the peace treaty between the two villages everywhere?

What's more, the current Kumogakure is suspected to be controlled by the enemy's illusion.

"Could it be that Kumogakure and those behind the scenes are planning to use this peace talk to ambush you and the Fourth Hokage at the same time?"

Qing looked at the letter, which he called an 'invitation letter', with some confusion.

He had just learned about Yunyin's situation, and he couldn't figure out what his opponent was doing.

Elder Yuanshi pondered for a moment, but shook his head slightly.

"impossible."

"Not to mention that the other party has already experienced the strength of the Mizukage, even if it is the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, ordinary traps will definitely not be able to stop him."

"In this blatant ambush, if only one person manages to escape, all the arrangements made by the person behind the scenes in Kumogakure will be null and void. The other party will not make such an unwise decision."

Uchiha Obito is definitely not clear about the situation now, but Jianchuan Tachibana has roughly guessed what is happening with the Zero Organization and the Hidden Cloud Village.

It is impossible to use such a big card as the Hidden Cloud Village to gamble on killing both Tachibana Kanagawa and Minato Namikaze at the same time.

Even if the other party misjudged Jianchuan Ju's strength, he felt that he had the confidence to successfully ambush him.

However, Minato Namikaze's "Flying Thunder God Technique" is famous for its strong life-saving ability. As long as the opponent is determined to escape, even Jianchuan Tachibana dare not say that he can stop him, let alone Uchiha Obito who also knows him very well.

"Then the other party wouldn't just let Tachibana show up, right? The Five Kage Summit just ended. Isn't this just a waste of time?"

When Jianchuan Ju heard Qing's words, his expression was suddenly stunned.

He snatched the letter and fixed his eyes on the date of the peace talks. Then he suddenly raised his head and asked the Yuanshi elder.

"According to the previous investigation by the White Zetsu team, when is the Kyuubi Jinchuriki's due date?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Yuanshi's expression froze and he spoke with some uncertainty.

"Mr. Mizukage, don't you think?"

Jianchuan Ju nodded at Elder Yuanshi with a determined look, then turned to Qing who was standing beside him and said.

"Teacher Qing, please help me find Guang."

at the same time.

In the Land of Fire, in Konoha Village.

Minato Namikaze looked at the letter from Kumogakure in his hand, his face also full of worry.

"Minato, how about I take your place in the peace talks?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was wrapped in bandages, was the first to speak out to comfort him.

In the previous surprise attack on the Hidden Cloud Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen led his team to contain the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee, and he escaped death.

If the ceasefire news had not been delivered in time, and Jiraiya had not quickly arrived at the front battlefield.

Sarutobi Hiruzen might lose his life on the battlefield.

However, even though his injuries have not yet fully recovered, he cannot bear to see Minato Namikaze faced with such a difficult decision.

Besides, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew it very well.

Today's Konoha can no longer bear the pain of war.

Even though there is pressure from the other three major ninja villages during this armistice negotiation, peace will definitely be achieved.

However, as the weaker party, Konoha had to make some concessions in the negotiations.

It is a better choice for both Konoha and the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze to let him, the former Hokage, bear the infamy.

Jiraiya who was returning with the frontline troops.

Hearing that his teacher could take the initiative to stand up at this time, his eyes couldn't help but become a little softer.

However, in the corner of the office, a somewhat cold voice sounded at an inopportune time.

"The Hidden Cloud Village has clearly stated that the Raikage will personally come forward to negotiate. If the Hokage does not come forward, we will definitely not be able to gain their approval on our side of Konoha."

As soon as Shimura Danzo said this, everyone in the office fixed their eyes on him.

Looking at the uniform death stares from Jiraiya, his two disciples, Danzo Shimura had a distorted expression and gritted his teeth, but finally he retreated back into the shadows in silence.

There was no other way. After Sarutobi Hiruzen went to the front line, he, who was supposed to coordinate the protection of Konoha, brought a large number of Root members and wanted to forcibly bring Uzumaki Kushina back to the Root base for "protection".

But who would have thought that before leaving, Sarutobi Hiruzen actually arranged for his wife and children to guard Uzumaki Kushina at all times, and directly forced him back.

It’s not that Danzo Shimura was concerned about their old friendship and couldn’t bear to attack Sarutobi Hiruzen’s wife and children.

Instead, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eldest son was always accompanied by two psychic monkeys from the Sarumo clan.

As long as he made the slightest unusual movement, the information at the scene would be immediately taken away by the psychic monkey, leaving him no chance to pretend to be an outsider.

Danzo Shimura also knew that even if he gained control of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, as long as Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya, and Namikaze Minato returned.

After knowing the truth, he was completely powerless to resist.

In desperation, he could only choose to retreat.

But after all, the so-called "protection" action has been implemented.

Even though no one could point out his intention to control the Nine-Tails, everyone knew the truth.

Over the past few days, not only has the power of the Root been reduced a lot, even Danzo Shimura himself can only act obediently and low-key under the suppression of these three masters and apprentices.
