I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

It seems that Konoha truly doesn't want to provoke another war!

So good!

Since we so desperately want peace, it's impossible to avoid paying a heavy price.

As a result, the Cloud Ninja delegation adopted a more assertive stance during the peace negotiations.

Moreover, after understanding Konoha's current attitude, Takayama's original idea of ​​capturing the Hyuga main family gradually resurfaced.

Perhaps, this isn't entirely impossible!

......

Peace negotiations between the two great ninja villages cannot be completed overnight.

After the first day of interviews, feeling that Konoha was indeed as weak as they had imagined, the Cloud Ninja group returned to their base with victorious steps. At the same time, Nara Shikaku also came to the Hokage's office to report the day's results to Cloud Ninja.

"These bandits and barbarians have quite the appetite! Anyone who didn't know better would think that Konoha had suffered a crushing defeat at their hands," Yun Ting shook his head and said with a laugh.

It's important to understand that in the current conflict between Konoha and Kumogakure, the former has the upper hand; otherwise, Kumogakure wouldn't have been the first to send a delegation.

Even so, the Cloud Ninja still dared to speak like that, which shows that Konoha under the leadership of the Third Hokage had given the outside world a very mild impression.

However, he is different from the third generation.

It won't be long before those Cloud Ninja guys truly understand this.

But not now.

"Whom the gods would destroy, they first drive mad. To have a good reason to mobilize, I'm afraid you'll have to put up with the arrogant attitude of those Cloud Ninjas for a while," Yun Ting comforted him.

Shikaku said, "I will do my best to fulfill the Hokage's orders."

Yun Ting said, "Don't worry, it won't be long. If I remember correctly, the Autumn Festival should be in three days."

Shikaku nodded knowingly: "It is indeed the Autumn Festival, a day when all Konoha villagers have a holiday."

“Since it’s a holiday, the peace talks will naturally be suspended as well.” Yun Ting said meaningfully, “I suppose the Yun ninja won’t miss such a good opportunity.”

Shikaku's eyes lit up: "Given the Cloud Ninja's style, they are very likely not to miss it."

"Even if they don't have a chance, we will create one for them," Yun Ting said resolutely. "You know, Konoha, and you and I, have been preparing for this day for a long time!"

Chapter 101 The Crisis of the Hyuga Young Lady

The Autumn Festival is a very important festival in the Naruto world. From nobles and high-ranking officials to ordinary people, including ninjas, everyone takes a day off to celebrate.

Konoha Village also prepared numerous celebrations for this day.

In an instant, the streets were bustling with activity, and it could be said that the whole family in the village, young and old, dressed up in their beautiful new clothes and went out to play together.

Since all the staff were on holiday, the Cloud Ninja Mission naturally took a day off as well.

With nothing else to do, Gao Shan and his group of Cloud Ninjas also came to the street, ready to experience the autumn festival with its foreign flair.

"Konoha is really prosperous!" Amu Yin couldn't help but sigh as he felt the bustling scene around him, and looked at the newly built high-rise buildings and colorful neon lights.

The Hidden Cloud Village is already considered a very prosperous place in the Land of Lightning.

However, compared to the village of Konoha in front of them, it was a world apart from a town to a city.

At this moment, this group of Cloud Ninja were just like country bumpkins visiting the city, looking around with great curiosity, as if they had never seen the world before.

Of course, if the first feeling of a true country person coming to the city is one of restraint and inferiority...

These Cloud Ninja, on the other hand, displayed fervor and greed.

In their view, such a prosperous place should belong to them.

Even if we can't do it right now, we still have to bite off a few pieces of meat.

It seems we'll need to increase our bargaining power in future negotiations.

The members of the Cloud Ninja delegation strolled around, making a tacit decision in their hearts.

As for whether Konoha will agree?

This is not a big deal to them at all.

Because compared to their own side, Konoha clearly desires peace more.

They had already experienced this deeply before.

Therefore, even if the price is increased, Konoha will likely agree after some initial protests.

Takayama shared the same idea.

Before setting off, when he learned that he had been appointed as the representative of the peace negotiation delegation, he was somewhat worried that he would become a sinner of Kumogakure.

In hindsight, it was just needless worry.

Konoha is still the same Konoha.

Despite possessing the strongest foundation in the ninja world, he remains the same coward who always stays on his own little patch of land, not wanting to be disturbed and hoping for constant peace.

Even if a new Hokage is appointed, the policies that have been in place for many years will be difficult to change in a short period of time.

In this way, he will not only fail in his mission, but will also gain great merit.

Thinking of this, Gao Shan couldn't help but smile with delight.

However, his smile quickly froze.

Because right in front of him, a blond man who was extremely conspicuous to the Yunren was walking down the street with his wife and child.

'Minato Namikaze!'

Gao Shan gritted his teeth inwardly, filled with apprehension.

If the Cloud Ninja were to rate the Konoha ninja who left the deepest impression on them, it would definitely not be the Third Hokage, the Legendary Sannin, or even the current Fourth Hokage.

It was Minato Namikaze.

In the battlefield a few years ago, the opponent not only gained the upper hand against the combined forces of the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, but also almost killed Killer Bee. This was a memory that left a deep impression on the Cloud Ninja.

It's hard not to say that the Cloud Ninja's initiative to propose peace talks was influenced by the possibility that Minato Namikaze might be heading to the Fire and Lightning battlefield.

"The person next to Minato Namikaze should be his wife, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I heard that she was attacked during childbirth, and later even the Nine-Tails went berserk. It's a pity. If the Nine-Tails had gone berserk more violently, not only could they have eliminated this great weapon, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but they might even have killed Minato Namikaze." Takayama thought to himself with regret.

If Minato Namikaze and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki were no longer around, then he would undoubtedly be able to gain more benefits for the Cloud Ninja in this peace talks.

Pity!

Finally, Takayama gave Minato Namikaze a cold glance before looking away.

Even if the person in front of you is incredibly strong, who knows if they will end up like the White Fang of Konoha, Orochimaru, and their ilk?

After all, while Konoha is known for producing strong individuals, its internal strife is also notorious throughout the ninja world.

Let's not talk about the distant past, but about the present.

Even the once-renowned ninja hero, who had been famous in the ninja world for decades, quietly faded away.

There's also the Dark Ninja, a ruthless figure whom even the Cloud Ninja fear upon hearing his name. He's currently imprisoned at home by the Fourth Hokage.

The outside world applauded and praised it.

Therefore, sometimes Konoha will take the initiative to eliminate its own people without you having to lift a finger.

Considering Konoha's consistent approach to external affairs, Takayama could only give the former a thumbs up.

They are such a thoughtful and friendly nation.

Perhaps, before long, Minato Namikaze will also fade into obscurity.

After all, this person also enjoys extremely high prestige in Konoha.

Furthermore, given that he comes from the lineage of the Third Hokage, the current Fourth Hokage should be quite wary of him.

After Takayama finished thinking about how he viewed others through his own eyes, his gaze towards Minato Namikaze now carried a hint of pity.

It's a pity that such a powerful enemy should have shone brightly on the battlefield, but Konoha had to resort to political infighting like those nobles.

Unlike the Cloud Ninja, they never have so many hidden agendas.

The strong rise, the weak fall, that's all.

With a faint sense of superiority, Takayama walked past Minato Namikaze without giving him another glance.

Just then, Naruto, who was being led by his parents' hands, suddenly asked in confusion, "Dad, who was that dark-skinned uncle just now? Why was he staring at us like that?"

Is it black... or is it a slippery autumn?

Upon hearing the child's voice, Gao Shan stumbled, his initial sense of superiority vanishing instantly, replaced by utter exasperation.

My skin isn't dark at all!

This is clearly a healthy, positive, and attractive tan that draws women's attention!

Gao Shan really wanted to go back and refute the brat who spoke.

However, after seeing Minato Namikaze watching him, he thought for a moment and decided to let bygones be bygones and leave quickly.

Watching Takayama's departing figure, Minato Namikaze calmly withdrew his gaze.

He had discovered this person long ago.

However, he rarely has any free time right now and is spending time with his family, so he doesn't want to pay attention to it.

But since his son had spoken up, he smiled and began to explain:

"That man was a ninja from Kumogakure. Naruto, did you see his headband? It's different from the headbands worn by Konoha ninjas..."

Minato Namikaze patiently explained, while Naruto listened with wide, curious eyes. Meanwhile, Kushina watched the interaction between father and son with a smile, creating a heartwarming scene.

Similar heartwarming scenes also appeared in the streets and alleys of Konoha.

Examples include the Uchiha Sasuke family, where parents and siblings are closely together, and the older generation of Ino-Shika-Cho and the younger generation who are growing up, and their playful interactions.

Today, the Autumn Festival, is undoubtedly a great day for families to enjoy themselves together.

However, there are always some exceptions.

For example, the young lady of the Hyuga clan.

"Miss Hinata, it's getting late, it's almost time to rest, it's time to go home." On the bustling street, a maid from the Hyuga branch family bowed and reminded little Hinata.
