Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 279 Thinking Too Much

Just as Obito and Rin were locked in a fierce battle.

Far away in the Land of Water, an old man was looking at the girl in front of him, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"You mean, the Third Hokage wants to send a new Three-Tails Jinchuriki to our Kirigakure!"

"Let her serve as a bridge between our Mist Village and Konoha, strengthening communication between the two sides."

"As a price for returning the Three-Tails, we also hope that we can end this war with Konoha and sign a peace treaty?"

"Yes! They sent out Yellow Flash to negotiate with us. In order to contact you, they even arrested me and Man Yue in advance."

"After we explained why we came, he released us!"

Facing Elder Yuan Shi, Terumi Mei made no attempt to conceal anything and reported the events of that time in great detail.

"A yellow flash?"

Listening to Mei Terumi's report, he did not expect that Minato Namikaze, whom he had only heard of before, would have such strength, and be able to subdue this promising junior in an instant.

He originally thought that the other party's reputation was just an excuse that Onoki couldn't bring himself to admit.

And the other party's suggestion... really surprised him.

How could it be possible for a ninja from another village to become the jinchūriki of one's own village? Even if this person could serve as a bridge between Kirigakure and Konoha, it would still be far from enough.

However, it's not impossible to give it a try, as long as the Three-Tails returns to the hands of the Hidden Mist Ninja. As for the Jinchuriki... we can change him at any time.

This was the best solution Minato Namikaze could think of.

However, this means that Rin Nohara's safety now depends entirely on how well the relationship between Konoha and Kirigakure is maintained.

If the two sides turn against each other, she will be the first victim.

Of course, the Third Hokage agreed because it would benefit Konoha. A Konoha ninja becoming a Jinchūriki of Kirigakure would be a good thing for Konoha, regardless of the circumstances.

However, this matter depends on whether Minato Namikaze can do it, and how long he can maintain the relationship between Konoha and Kirigakure after he does it, which will depend on his performance after becoming Hokage.

Whether it succeeds or not, he doesn't care.

"Has that Yellow Flash arrived in our Hidden Mist Village yet?"

After thinking for a moment, Master Yuan continued to ask questions.

"Yes, they came directly to Kirigakure with us and want to meet with you and the Third Hokage, the Three-Tails, and discuss the peace issue between the two sides."

Originally, she disagreed with bringing the other party directly to the village, but the other party's attitude was very sincere, and Yagura seemed to be willing to go easy on him.

This prompted her to bring the other party back to Kirigakure.

It was definitely not what that guy Man Yue said, that he was infatuated with that handsome guy from Konoha and that's why he did it.

Although the other person is really handsome.

"It seems the Third Hokage is showing a lot of sincerity this time! He even sent his successor."

"Successor? Elder, you mean that naive fellow will be the future Fourth Hokage?"

"How is this possible? This guy's thinking is so naive, how could Konoha possibly choose him as Hokage!"

After a few days of getting to know each other, Mei Terumi has gained some understanding of Minato Namikaze, but she thinks that this kind of person is simply not suitable to be a Kage.

"Naive?"

As an old man, Master Yuan had seen even more naive people. The First Hokage, who established the ninja village system and distributed the tailed beasts to the various ninja villages, was also an exceptionally naive person...

"Ming, you don't understand yet. It would have been impossible to become famous throughout the ninja world so quickly without the cooperation of Konoha Village."

"The other party should be the successor of the Third Hokage, that's for sure, but whether he can defeat the other competitors depends on himself."

As an old man even older than Hiruzen Sarutobi, he knew that every ninja who became famous in the ninja world owed a great deal to the support of their village.

"This person... is the teacher of the new Jinchuriki. He came here to probe our Kirigakure's attitude towards this war, in order to pave the way for the signing of a peace agreement between the two sides."

"On another note, it's for the safety of my disciple. I hope to contact you beforehand to save my disciple's life."

Although somewhat surprised that such a sunny and innocent man could possibly become the Fourth Hokage, Mei Terumi still answered Genji's question seriously.

"The Jinchūriki's teacher? This..."

Upon hearing this news, Master Yuan was somewhat surprised. He didn't know whether this was a coincidence or something the Third Mizukage had done intentionally.

How could it be such a coincidence that the vessel for the Three-Tails, which the other party carefully selected, is actually a disciple of Minato Namikaze? And the other party even came to Kirigakure because of this matter.

Having witnessed countless conspiracies and intrigues, he couldn't help but think more deeply. His own Mizukage, after all, was acting intentionally, preparing to use this opportunity to initiate peace negotiations with Konoha.

Or are they planning to take this opportunity to eliminate that Yellow Flash and demoralize Konoha?

She shared her thoughts with Mei Terumi, who was present, wanting to see how this junior she valued viewed the matter.

"Hmm~"

After hearing what Elder Yuan said, Terumi Mei remained stunned for a long time. Just as Elder Yuan had said, it was all too coincidental, leaving them no choice but to overthink it.

"Could this be a trap specially prepared by the Third Hokage for that Yellow Flash?"

After much deliberation, Mei Terumi still felt that, rather than signing a peace treaty with Konoha, the Third Hokage was more likely to be preparing to kill that man.

"That's what I think too~"

"So, are you still going to meet him? This man is far too dangerous. I think you should be careful."

Seeing that the elders agreed with her idea, Mei Terumi frowned deeply. On one hand, she lacked confidence in leaving the other party in Kirigakure, and on the other hand, she felt a little regretful.

It must be quite a troublesome thing to have such a sunny and handsome man as your enemy.

"There's no need to receive me in my true form; don't you have shadow clones?"

"Also, I'm curious whether Konoha will produce another leader with a personality like the First Hokage. It would be good to go and meet him."

Although he had never seen the God of Shinobi in person, he had heard a lot about him from the First Mizukage and his guards.
