Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 521 Decision and Influence

Although Shimura Danzo's speech was forced back by Jiraiya and the other two, what he said was not unreasonable.

Koharu Utane on the side also began to persuade her.

"Minato, don't forget, you are the Hokage!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole office fell into silence.

Even Mitomon En, who originally wanted to suggest whether they could negotiate with Kumogakure to change the time, immediately gave up the idea of ​​saying anything else.

After a long silence, Namikaze Minato's face was filled with a sunny and warm smile again.

"Yes, I am the Hokage, and this is my job."

After saying this, Minato Namikaze suddenly felt a little tight in his chest, as if he was about to lose something.

However, thinking that he might miss the birth of his child, Namikaze Minato finally suppressed the discomfort in his heart.

Seeing Minato Namikaze make the decision, some people sighed secretly, while others breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, it was the teacher Jiraiya who spoke again, pointing at the letter and changing the subject.

"Why did Kumogakure think of asking the Mizukage to witness the peace talks this time?"

Although Jiraiya usually doesn't have much contact with political affairs, it can even be said that he deliberately avoids them.

But these basic insights still exist after all.

In this kind of negotiation between two villages, the other party would find an outsider to act as a witness.

Wouldn't that simply make Konoha and Kumogakure villages inferior to Kirigakure?
Even Jiraiya had heard what his disciples had said about the Mizukage's performance at the Five Kage Summit.

But this kind of action, which showed a bit of weakness, was not something that the Raikage he knew would do.

"Perhaps they want to put the truce with Kirigakure on the table? It seems that there has been no news of a truce agreement between Kumogakure and Kirigakure."

As Utane Koharu spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller, and her tone became more hesitant.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also bluntly denied this speculation.

"That's impossible. As for the armistice agreement, haven't Iwagakure and Kumogakure never signed it?"

"If Kumogakure really wanted to take this opportunity to negotiate together, they wouldn't have left Iwagakure behind alone, right?"

In fact, the situations of Kirigakure and Iwagakure are different from those of Konoha.

Although there was no formal peace talks with the Kumogakure, the battle between the Mizuto and Sochi families and the Kumogakure had essentially ended long ago.

If the two villages had no other demands and did not want to force the other party to pay a price, then no one would care even if there was no treaty.

Besides, on the surface, Kirigakure and Konoha are allies.

How desperate must the Cloud Village be to bring in a Konoha ally who is at odds with them in order to reduce their own initiative in the negotiations?
"There will be a complete ceasefire next. Perhaps those barbarians from Kumogakure are taking the initiative to show their support to Kirigakure? I heard that Kirigakure's maritime trade has been doing very well recently."

After saying this, although Mizuto Menen himself was a little bit unconvinced, after all, there was no information, and there was no point in everyone making guesses here.

After simply revealing it, he took the initiative to continue.

"We are still unsure whether the Mizukage agrees to be a witness. Let's first confirm the conditions we may encounter during this negotiation."

"I have to go. I want to see what kind of trouble Obito can cause if I go there." Jianchuan Ju threw the documents in his hand aside and gave an affirmative answer to the question of the elder Yuanshi.

Although it was previously speculated that Uchiha Obito might take action against the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki this time, after witnessing the peace talks between Konoha and Kumogakure, Jianchuan Tachibana was not prepared to refuse.

"Speaking of which, we should thank Kumogakure for giving us this opportunity. This kind of opportunity to improve Kirigakure's political status is never too much."

Casualy opening a document titled 'Proposal for the Construction of the Sea Mist City Ninja School', Jianchuan Ju continued speaking with a smile on his face.

"Master Yuan, rest assured. The events on both sides this time have no significant impact on us. We will naturally choose the method that will bring greater benefits."

Unexpectedly, when Elder Yuan heard what Jianchuan Ju said, he just let out a long sigh.

"Lord Mizukage, I'm not worried about the plan, but you've just returned to the village and you're going to be away for who knows how many days. How can you be a Mizukage at all?"

As he spoke, Elder Yuanshi's eyes were still fixed on the pile of documents on Jianchuanju's desk, and he sighed again.

After realizing what Elder Yuanshi wanted to express, Jianchuan Ju scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Uh~ hehe~ isn't there Teacher Qing accompanying you, Elder?"

"And I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. It probably won't happen so frequently in the future."

"You see, the application submitted by Minister Chun Yu is really appropriate. Ha. Haha."

Looking at Jianchuan Ju holding the documents with an embarrassed and helpless look on his face, Qing, who was still working hard beside him, couldn't help but reveal a funny look on his face.

In fact, for the entire Hidden Mist Village, Jianchuan Ju's existence is more of a spiritual symbol, controlling the general direction of policies.

In fact, the implementation of the work is more in the hands of Elders Qing and Yuan.

This is also the reason why Jianchuan Tachibana had plenty of time to train his disciples and beat up Hoshigaki Kisame and Momochi Zabuza.

However, no matter how little work there is on paper, it is still the shadow of a village after all.

Many proposals and even decisions still require Jianchuan Ju to make the final confirmation.

The Five Kage Summit lasted only ten days, but a lot of documents had already piled up and needed to be handled personally by Jianchuan Ju.

That's why the elder Yuanshi suggested that they simply ignore the peace talks between Konoha and Kumogakure, or send other people as representatives to serve as witnesses on behalf of the Mizukage Jianchuan Tachibana.

Of course, Elder Yuanshi also knew that this matter would benefit the village.

In fact, he just mentioned it in passing. Seeing that Jianchuan Ju did not agree, he would not argue about it any more. Instead, he followed Jianchuan Ju's topic and talked about the matters concerning the new school.

"In fact, it seems a bit too early for the Sea Mist City School at the moment. Although the school enrollment scale in the village has expanded a lot, but..."

After working hard for several days, Jianchuan Ju finally finished most of the work at hand.

But even so, he couldn't just rest and relax.

In addition to daily training and teaching, he also needs to assign people to handle some more important tasks.

Moreover, there is a more important "minor operation" today, which requires him, the Mizukage, to step in personally.

He simply stretched and said goodbye to Elder Yuanshi and Qing.

Jianchuan Ju strode towards the research institute.
