Following the sound, Huang saw a tall ninja wearing a headband with the character "oil" on it, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
It was Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin.
He must have been forced to attend the meeting by the Third Hokage, which is why he expressed his small protest with such an unruly attitude.
Huang nodded slightly in response.
On the eastern border, he did indeed owe the other party a debt of gratitude.
"I'm so tired of hearing these guys making a racket first thing in the morning. It's really getting in the way of my work."
Jiraiya did not respond directly, but continued to complain.
But during this time, he also stopped leaning against the wall and straightened his back.
"Sa, now that the main character has arrived, what kind of choice will you make?"
"To fight, or to surrender?"
"Hokage-sama."
His gaze fell directly on the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar old man.
And the wording was utterly unforgiving.
"Jiraiya!"
Upon turning to the next room, Xiaochun immediately frowned and scolded him.
Clearly, he was provoked by that last 'word'.
But isn't that actually the case?
To agree to all the enemy's demands without reason in the face of their provocations is no different from surrendering without a fight.
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi also composed himself, but a hint of difficulty involuntarily appeared in his aged eyes.
Since Uchiha Ara has appeared here, it means that Shimura Danzo's plan has failed.
Although he had long been mentally prepared for this, the current situation still left him in a dilemma.
Yamanaka, Nara, Hinata,
Not all the clan heads are present at today's meeting; those who are sitting here are all influential figures in the village.
But just now, three heads of traditional aristocratic families have successively expressed their opposition to Yunyin, an attitude that he can no longer ignore.
After all, these are the backbone of Konoha!
But should we start a war with the Hidden Cloud Village?
This is absolutely impossible, because the people's will is for peace!
Konoha had just ended another war and was still recovering from the grief when it started another war, and the opponent was Kumogakure, which had two perfect Jinchuriki!
how to spell?
What leverage or resources do we have left to stabilize Iwagakure and Sunagakure?
But it's okay.
The little guy in his field of vision gave him a way out and a reason.
Therefore,
"Since Uchiha Ara himself has already resolved to stop the war and the bloodshed..."
After a light cough, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly spoke, his expression unusual.
However, such opening words caused Yamanaka Inoichi and Hyuga Hiashi's expressions to darken instantly; they could already foresee what would follow.
That's it again!
It happens again!!
But it's Yunyin!
But it's Cloud Village!!
Hiashi Hyuga's heart was roaring and howling, and the dense spider patterns under his palm spread out again.
Meanwhile, Yamanaka Inoichi on one side let out a low, deep cry.
But there was no response.
"Then, let's do as he says, for the sake of the bigger picture and for the friendship between Konoha and Kumogakure, and bear all of this alone."
One cold word after another came from Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth. During this time, he also tried to search for any special emotions or changes on the face of the boy in his field of vision.
Yet it remained as calm as still water.
"Lord Hokage!"
At this moment, Yamanaka Inoichi roared again, as if trying to advise or stop something, and even seemed to be standing up from his seat.
But all of this was firmly suppressed by Nara Shikaku.
After all, putting all other factors aside, the Hokage made the right choice, and it was all for the greater good.
And here's an important point:
This was Uchiha Ara's own choice.
"Hahaha."
Contrary to this oppressive mood, Atsi suddenly burst into laughter, sweeping away the gloom and anger she had felt from the previous veiled mockery.
"Xi, you will be taken to the hotel where you are staying shortly."
Hiruzen Sarutobi continued.
In any case, Danzo had already obtained enough information from the other party's mind.
"boom."
But as soon as he said those words, the already riddled table shattered instantly.
Hyuga Hiashi's eyes were filled with gloom.
At that moment, he thought of Hyuga Neji, who hadn't arrived the previous night; he thought of the branch family members who were urgently praying; and he thought of Hyuga Hizashi, who had died unjustly.
This time, he still failed to get his revenge.
"Hahahaha!"
Meanwhile, Atsi's laughter grew louder and more arrogant, his downcast eyes filled with mockery and ridicule.
Previously, it was they who were stopping him.
But now, upon receiving such an answer, the joy in his heart exploded instantly.
"Ah."
"You're wasting my time."
Jiraiya hummed softly, then crossed his arms and walked out of the conference room.
He didn't say anything for two reasons: First, his teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was the Hokage of this ninja village;
Secondly, the Great Toad Immortal also said that he should let things take their natural course.
Among the political figures in Konoha, there were also those who maintained peace throughout, such as Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, whose initial intention was to avoid war.
"Uchiha Ara, commit suicide to atone for your sins, for the sake of peace."
Amidst the maniacal laughter of the Cloud Village ninjas and the complex gazes of the Konoha clan leaders, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke again, his words cold and irresistible.
Because he couldn't possibly allow the other party to obtain a living Uchiha Ara!!
Furthermore, it seems acceptable to eliminate a potential threat through this incident.
"and many more."
Atzi frowned and stopped him.
He was well aware that the dead were not as valuable as the living.
"Lord Hokage!"
Yamanaka Inoichi broke free from his best friend's obstruction. This was his third roar, and his voice became increasingly terrifying and ferocious.
But it was all in vain.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared calmly at the boy in his field of vision, as if all the sounds around him were blocked out. He could only feel at ease after watching the boy perish with his own eyes.
Jiraiya quickened his pace at that moment, already standing beside Ara, seemingly unwilling to stay any longer.
"Ah, where leaves dance in the air, fire never ceases to burn."
Huang murmured to himself, his gaze mocking as he met the eyes of the old man seated in the audience.
Although his voice was very soft, everyone present heard it clearly.
So, the only option left is to betray Konoha alone and sever ties with it. However, he probably can't take his clansmen with him.
But there was no other way.
The boy's gaze gradually turned cold, and the chakra within his body began to circulate.
However, just as he was about to erupt, a ninja wearing a white mask suddenly appeared in the room and knelt in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, holding a communication anklet in his hand.
"Lord Hokage, an urgent message from the northeastern border!!"
Chapter 232 Looking around, there was no one to speak up for him.
ANBU.
Full name: Assassination Tactics Special Forces.
The members are all outstanding ninjas selected from the village, responsible for difficult and meticulous special missions such as reconnaissance, surveillance, and assassination against the enemy.
They possess qualities far exceeding those of ordinary ninjas, are directly commanded by the Hokage, and are accountable only to the Hokage.
Logically speaking, they shouldn't have appeared directly at the negotiations between Konoha and Kumogakure, but should have acted as covert guardians.
However, this time it happened suddenly, and the letter Yu was holding in his palm was marked with the highest level.
