Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

Chapter 127 Shinnosuke: I want to be respectable
Oonoki moved closer.

Jiraiya, Kyohiko and the others were also quite far away from the other ninjas, so except for those with strong hearing, it was basically impossible for the others to hear anything.

but.

Ōnoki looked around carefully.

Jiraiya and the silver-haired boy were clearly not proficient in the water-based ninjutsu used just now, and it was unable to interfere with their battle in the air.

The real main force is not them, but...

Namikaze Minato, Ryomine Kyohiko.

It's these two again.

Ohnoki was deeply fearful.

Originally, he thought that the leader between the two was Minato Namikaze, but now it seems that in terms of ninjutsu, it seems more like the kid is the one in charge.

Ten years old...

At such an age, he has such talent!

Unbelievable.

I’m afraid it’s another Senju Tobirama!
If this person is not eliminated, the rest of the ninja villages will sooner or later be overwhelmed by Konoha.

Ohnoki smiled as he walked towards Jiraiya and said, "In secret, we in the Iwagakure Village can compensate you for your losses, but in public..."

He didn't finish, but the two of them understood.

After all, Iwagakure is not Sandagakure.

Ōnoki is very powerful and has studied Dust Release for decades. If he really tries his best, he can not only kill all the people in Konoha and Kusagakure in the north, but he can definitely kill most of them.

Faced with the bloodline elimination, Jingyan didn't have a good way to restrain it, and the only thing he could think of was a war of attrition.

and so.

For someone like Ohnoki, a head-on fight is totally unprofitable. It is best for both sides to exercise restraint and not turn against each other.

Oonoki bargained with Jiraiya.

The war instantly turned into a trade.

After a long moment, Ōnoki left with the five-member captured demolition team.

Minato Namikaze sighed deeply.

"As expected of Oonoki! Even in this situation, he can still fight us back and forth."

The long-range Flying Thunder God consumes a lot of chakra.

and so.

Even if he continued to fight, it would be difficult for him to pose a threat to Ōnoki.

Older and stronger.

As expected of the third Tsuchikage!
Jingyan deeply agreed with this.

Jiraiya said unhappily, "Why do you look like you've lost? Think about how strong Oonoki was before."

Everyone fell silent.

The effect of the Limit Stripping Technique really exceeded their expectations.

If Ohnoki were to move to another place, they would not have any good solution to the continuous explosions like that.

Jiraiya sighed for a while, and then couldn't help but think of what happened a few days ago.

At that time, he was still thinking about how to deal with Ōnoki, and then Kyohiko sent him a plan.

A water escape technique with strong stickiness.

A special ninjutsu that Jingyan created in a few days.

"If it weren't for this technique, we might not have been able to get the benefits we have now. This can be considered a step forward for both parties."

Jiraiya analyzed carefully and felt that Ōnoki himself didn't really want to fight.

Otherwise, if the fight really continues, both Konoha and Iwagakure will be in a difficult situation.

"It's not necessarily a good thing."

Minato Namikaze was a little worried.

The Iwagakure Village was not seriously hurt, but Ōnoki's ambitions are huge, and a new war will break out sooner or later.

Jiraiya couldn't help but glance at Minato.

He knew Minato.

If it were the former Minato Namikaze, he would definitely think like him that the current situation is the best one.

But now.

Tsk!
Jiraiya didn't blame him, but just sighed slightly -

After spending a long time with Jingyan, you will always be unconsciously influenced by this kid's thoughts, and eventually changes will occur that you won't even realize.

So is he, and so is Minato Namikaze.

……

"Father, why should we retreat? Even if the demolition team is captured, you won't be defeated."

Huangtu was a little confused.

Oonoki glanced at his son and said, "You only thought about the victory in front of you. You didn't consider that it only took Konoha a few days to create that jutsu."

He was silent for a few seconds and sighed heavily.

Less than ten days!

It took the Iwagakure Village ten days to collect detailed intelligence from the Sand Village. After learning more information about that battle, Ōnoki decided not to fight anymore.

This "battle" was actually just a way to give both sides a way out. Even if Konoha did not use such water escape technique, he would find a way to facilitate peace talks.

However, if the Iwagakure Village gains the upper hand, he will have more say and reduce his losses.

Not like now...

The loss is too great!
Huang Tu pondered for a long time and said, "The water is sticky, it should be a special change of water escape technique. I don't know how difficult it is to learn. If it is not difficult, it will be fatal to our flight."

Then, he "suddenly realized".

"Father, the Kazekage died from this technique, right?"

"Huangtu, use your brain!"

Ohnoki was heartbroken, "If he knew it before, he would have used it against me last time. Why would he wait until now? There must be another way to deal with the Sand Village!"

"really."

Huangtu thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth.

He only considered that this technique could be used against flyers, but he didn't think it through completely.

"Huang Tu, managing a village is not just about leading a team to carry out a mission. You have to learn to think comprehensively. Otherwise, how can I trust you to hand over the village to you?"

Oonoki sighed.

When he thought of the performance of Minato Namikaze and Kyohiko Ryomine, he couldn't help but feel a great sense of crisis in his heart.

Konoha is too strong!
"Then what should we do?"

"Compensation, etc!"

Oonoki whispered.

Huang Tu nodded. Seeing that his father had no intention of continuing, he stopped asking questions and thought about it on his own.

and so on.

What are you waiting for?
We can't wait until Konoha becomes stronger and can directly kill the Iwagakure Village, and then turn around and fight them.

He thought about it for a long time.

With the help of Ohnoki's super-light rock technique, he flew over a huge chasm like a natural moat, and when he got close to the camp of their Hidden Rock Village, he realized something...

"Father, are you waiting for everyone to join forces?"

"It seems that you are not hopeless."

A satisfied smile appeared on Ōnoki's face.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

Konoha’s strength is not necessarily a good thing.

"I believe that the Third Raikage is not a short-sighted person. He will definitely understand that if he continues to cooperate with Konoha, he will only be suppressed by Konoha in the end."

The Iwagakure Village is afraid of Lightning Release and has no good way to deal with high-speed moving ninjas, but if the Iwagakure Village and the Kumogakure Village join forces, this problem will no longer exist.

The two sides complement each other and can definitely defeat Konoha!
However, Konoha also understands this, and has been getting very close to the Hidden Cloud Village recently. The Hidden Cloud Village, on the other hand, is more eager to deal with their Land of Earth.

So, Ohnoki needs to wait!

……

On the eastern front, the coast was littered with corpses, and the soil on the shore was dyed red.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was holding the Diamond Stick, panting.

Next to him, Danzo held a knife in one hand and a head in the other.

The owner of the head was none other than Kurisan Kushimaru from the Hidden Mist Village.

In front of us, there was a corpse with a hole in the chest. Judging from the appearance of the corpse, it seemed that he was also a jonin from the Hidden Mist Village.

"Unfortunately, the stitches and the beheading sword were sent back by the spirit."

He snorted coldly.

Then, he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Uchiha, what are you going to do about this?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent.

Uchiha.

This problem has remained from the first generation to the present, and he still hasn't come up with a perfect solution.

He was silent for a long time, looking at the sea in the distance.

"I am no longer the Hokage. It all depends on the wisdom of the next generation."

"Next generation?" Danzo sneered, then turned and left, "If you don't want to be the villain, then let me be it!"

"Don't be impulsive."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.

Danzo didn't answer, sheathed his blade, threw his head on the grass by the sea and left.

"Hey!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

He understood Danzo, but Danzo didn't know Tsunade, Jiraiya and the others well enough.

Under the current circumstances, one of Konoha and Danzo will inevitably fall.

Sarutobi Hiruzen could tolerate many of Danzo's little tricks, but he would never forgive anything that was detrimental to Konoha.

"Danzo, don't blame me."

……

The Hidden Mist Village was as dull and solemn as ever, but today, the atmosphere in the village was exceptionally quiet.

First, two of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist were killed in the Land of Fire.

Second, I graduated from the Kirigakure Ninja School.

but.

The situation is slightly different from what everyone thinks.

In an office in the Mizukage Building.

"Master Yuanshi, do you think we should discuss with Master Mizukage and cancel the current ninja school policy next year?"

The Xiguashan puffer ghost looked at the old man in front of him cautiously.

Master Yuan held the information in his hand and did not speak for a long time.

After a while, he put down the report.

The report is very simple:

"In the Ninja School graduation exam, Momochi Zabuza killed all the candidates, leaving only Zabuza to graduate."

Previously, in the Chunin Exam held by Yugakure Village, they suffered heavy losses of ninjas.

At that time, the master was thinking that there would be more graduates in this class to make up for the lack of a new generation of ninjas. Unexpectedly, Zabuza would directly kill all of this class.

"I will mention it, but I don't know whether the Mizukage-sama will agree."

When the Fourth Mizukage was mentioned, everyone fell silent.

The Fourth Mizukage Yagura.

The youngest Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, he is very talented and capable, but he has been implementing rather cruel policies since he came to power.

Although the strength and mentality of the Kirigakure ninjas are far more resilient than their peers in other villages, their numbers are decreasing.

This year it's even more thorough.

"Also, according to the intelligence from the Anbu, something seems to have happened in the Sand Village. Scorpion of the Red Sand has betrayed and fled the village again. We don't know why."

The Xiguashan puffer ghost sent up another piece of information.

Master Yuan took a look at it and threw it aside.

"This is Sand Village's business. We don't need to care about it. Let's solve the problem at hand first."

"Yes!"

……

"The Red Sand Scorpion has defected again?"

Tsunade looked up.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded: "Yes, he also took away the bodies of the Third Kazekage and Ebizo."

"Luo Sha has a good plan."

Tsunade sneered.

With Luo Sha's ability, how could he not know that Scorpion would steal the corpse?

It was just intentional.

"Hokage-sama, should we attack the Sand Village?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked up.

Tsunade shook her head.

She carefully looked at the information and letter in her hand, and said with a smile: "Spread the news that Scorpion of the Red Sand has mastered the human puppet, and let everyone pay attention to their own bloodline limit ninja."

"Yes!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke turned around to leave, but after taking a few steps, he hesitated for a moment and came back.

"Hokage-sama, there is one more thing I hope you can grant me."

"explain."

Tsunade didn't even look up from her work as she was marking paperwork.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke said, "I want to leave the Anbu and return to a normal ninja life."

Tsunade was stunned and immediately looked up.

After a while, she said, "Why?"

"My father puts the village first and rarely cares about Asuma. During this period, I have been spending more time with Asuma..."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke sighed and told about his recent events.

Tsunade was silent.

She originally thought that Sarutobi Shinnosuke had other ideas, and that she would remove the other party when Jingyan came back, so she was decent in advance, and she wanted to persuade him...

but.

After hearing the reason, she knew she had no reason to keep the other person.

"Don't think about it again?"

"No."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled and shook his head, then sighed, "Perhaps, I still prefer to spend some time with Asuma and the others in the sunshine."

"I respect your idea, what about Kaori?"

Tsunade let out a smile, "You've been with her for a while now, haven't you ever thought about getting married and having kids?"

"She, she might be able to adapt to the life in the Anbu. Uh, I respect her idea."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke blushed.

Fortunately, his face was dark and he was wearing a mask, so even if he blushed, it couldn't be seen.

Tsunade stopped joking and smiled as she said some words of encouragement.

At the end, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, if you want to restore your normal identity, I need your help with something."

"Yes, please tell me."

"This year's graduation exams are about to begin. Some children want to graduate early, but the front line is not too tight. At present, the three-front war is almost over. I don't think it is necessary. I hope they can study for another two years..."

Tsunade said her thoughts.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke shook his head like a rattle.

"Lady Tsunade, my eloquence is average, please forgive me!"

"Then why don't you teach? There aren't many jonin in the village, and you happen to be free."

Tsunade smiled.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke felt like he had been fooled.

This is Tsunade’s real purpose!

He had no choice but to accept the task.

……

In the Land of Grass, Jiraiya, Kyohiko and Minato were discussing the compensation agreement and the issue of how to get along with the Kusagakure in the future in the tent.

After chatting all night, the three reached a consensus.

The Iwagakure Village will definitely have to pay compensation in terms of money and supplies, but the difficult part is how they will get along with the Kusagakure Village.

The Kusagakure Village betrayed them once, and although the matter has been resolved now, the seeds of hatred have been planted, and it is impossible to return to the original seamless era.

and so.

Continue to collaborate, but also maintain distance.

"Teacher, we only have the finishing touches left here. We plan to return to the village tomorrow."

"Minato, Kyouhiko, thank you four for your hard work this time. You supported the east and came to help me. If it weren't for you, this wouldn't have been so smooth."

Jiraiya also understood why Ōnoki retreated.

This battle was just an introduction. The main point was that the Sand Village was defeated in the west, and even the Third Kazekage was killed.

Anyone with a bit of common sense would understand that the Iwagakure Village no longer has the conditions to start this war.

The fact that none of the two Jinchūriki were seen this time shows Ohnoki's true attitude.

He didn't want to fight anymore!
"No, I'm just helping out more."

Minato Namikaze did not take any credit for himself.

It is even more difficult for Jingyan to take credit.

Without Flying Thunder God, he would not have been able to defeat so many enemies. Minato deserves great credit for this.

"Take care. I have to go talk to the Kusagakure Village tomorrow, so I won't see you off."

"Ok!"
