After expressing their stance, the Cloud Village delegation did not linger for long and quickly departed.
But Konoha Village became lively.
First, there are civilians and ordinary ninjas.
Unlike the previous agreement signed after seven people were killed, this time it was a peace talk that formally confirmed the ceasefire between the two villages.
The end of the war was a great joy for them.
In this situation, the undercurrents at the top and the transfer of power seem less important. Restaurants offer discounts, shopping malls have promotions, and everyone is celebrating the end of the war.
The situation at the top is also not peaceful.
Since the departure of the Cloud Village delegation, the Shingetsu family has been receiving visitors one after another.
First is Hyuga Hyuga.
His attitude was very clear this time.
“Brother Xingyun, you are the one.” He gave a thumbs up and said, “My brother asked me to convey that the Hyuga clan will always be supporters of the Hokage and will always stand on the side of the village.”
He emphasized the words 'Naruto', and the meaning was quite clear.
We support the Hokage and protect the village.
But they didn't care who the Hokage was.
Mikoto Uchiha also arrived.
Shingetsu Seiun was quite surprised: "Mikoto-sensei, what brings you here?"
Mikoto Uchiha: "The elders of my clan persuaded me to come."
She looked at Shingetsu Seiun with a complicated expression: "Although there aren't many people, if necessary, the Uchiha will stand by your side."
Shingetsu Seiun: "The Uchiha still have ideas at this time?"
Mikoto Uchiha said, "Obito has awakened the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan, and he's currently very popular."
"The elders of the clan have another idea. They know that the chances of Obito winning the Hokage title are slim right now, so they want to place their bets in advance."
Everyone in the Uchiha clan knows that the famous Konoha Demon Star is practically a disciple of Uchiha Mikoto, and they have a very close relationship, so they begged her to come over.
Mikoto Uchiha: "I've delivered the message, I'll be leaving now."
"Be careful. And... if you can avoid fighting, then don't."
Shingetsu Seiun nodded, accepting the other party's concern, and then said, "Mikoto-sensei, don't be in such a hurry to leave."
"Eat here, let's cook a little longer."
Upon hearing this, Mikoto Uchiha quickened her pace.
After the Hyuga and Uchiha clans, most of the other clans in Konoha sent people one after another.
The meaning is clear—I believe you have the potential to become Hokage.
This left Shenyue Xingyun feeling quite helpless. He would even give a special look when someone came to visit, to see if the other person had prepared a divine robe, in case they asked him if he was cold.
The Ino-Shika-Cho family also sent a representative.
The people who came were unfamiliar to Shenyue Xingyun, because the three clan leaders were still on the front lines of the Cloud Hidden Battlefield and had not yet withdrawn.
After revealing his identity, Shingetsu Seiun couldn't help but ask, "Hasn't Jonin Shikaku returned yet?"
"So urgent?"
The representative of the Nara clan's Jonin nodded: "This kind of thing can't be delayed."
"The clan chief has already sent back the message, and this has been explained in advance."
Shenyue Xingyun asked curiously, "What did he say?"
The Nara clan's Jonin did not hesitate and told the truth.
"The clan chief said that if Yunyin declares war, we should remain still and focus on fighting the enemy. He also asked me to persuade you to volunteer for battle."
"If Kumogakure accepts the ceasefire agreement, send me here immediately. Tell Lord Seiun: As long as no one takes action, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio will support you."
Shenyue Xingyun's eyes flickered.
Nara Shikaku's attitude is similar to Hyuga's: he can support you becoming Hokage, but on one condition: the village must be the priority. Or rather—you cannot kill Hiruzen Sarutobi and become Hokage.
Chapter 434 Samui, Visiting the Door
After the Nara clan's Jonin left, Shingetsu Seiun was truly in a dilemma.
Something seems a little off.
Representatives from various families, both overt and covert, came, seemingly believing that with just a word from him, he could be crowned Hokage and succeed to the throne.
It was practically an open invitation to rebel.
Of course, it's not impossible for him to succeed to the throne with his abilities, but... if he succeeds, what will happen to the mission to challenge the Fifth Hokage?
There's no way to do it.
Torn between these thoughts, Shenyue Xingyun couldn't help but sigh.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi... is unpopular."
Just as he was feeling sentimental, he suddenly noticed someone knocking on the east gate.
"Who would come so late?"
"Could it be Red?" Shenyue Xingyun wondered, then got up and went downstairs.
After confirming that the barriers throughout the courtyard were functioning properly and that the meeting would not disturb Ye Cang, he went to the east courtyard and opened the gate.
Outside the door, a bouncy and agile blonde female ninja stood in front of the door.
"It's you?"
Shenyue Xingyun recognized the other party. After all, no matter how strong Samui of Kumogakure was, her appearance was still very recognizable.
"What are you doing here?" Shenyue Xingyun asked in confusion. "Did you come with the Cloud Hidden Delegation?"
He hadn't heard that there were women in the Cloud Village's group this time, and...
"Didn't the entire delegation leave?"
Samui stood with his head down in front of the Divine Moon Nebula, fiddling with his fingers.
"I was sent by Lord Raikage."
Shenyue Xingyun: "Sent you here? For what purpose?"
Samui said, "Lord Motoi is the official delegation, responsible for official negotiations, while I... am here to express the sincerity of Kumogakure."
Shingetsu Nebula: "??"
"I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand what you meant. What do you mean by 'sorry'?"
Samui said, "Last time Lord Molloy came to negotiate peace, he put forward many unreasonable conditions. Lord Raikage sent me here specifically to express his apology."
Seeing that Shenyue Xingyun still didn't understand, Samui blushed slightly and said, "Didn't you say that last time?"
"You can accept the remaining three spots as long as Yunyin sends someone. So... I'm here."
Shenyue Xingyun: "...You must have misunderstood me."
“No, no,” Samui quickly explained, “I know what you mean.”
"But I came here on the orders of Lord Raikage."
"Lord Raikage deeply regrets his actions during the last peace negotiations, which is why he sent me."
"Lord Nebula, please rest assured, I am not a spy."
"And we won't do anything to harm you."
“I really, really came to apologize.” Samui said, mustering his courage, and looked at him with a gaze that was somewhat familiar to Shenyue Xingyun, and said earnestly, “Please feel free to tell me what you need.”
Shenyue Xingyun: "..."
He was quite shocked and was speechless for a moment.
After a moment, he composed himself.
"Get lost."
"Bang!~"
The door was slammed shut, and Samui trembled slightly.
After a long silence, she whispered, "Well... Lord Nebula, I'll be going now."
"Come again tomorrow."
……
The next day, the sun was high in the sky.
Shen Yue Xingyun, who had been diligently cultivating last night, woke up rather late. He only slowly came to his senses when the light shining into the room became somewhat dazzling.
I got up and opened the window. Without the barrier's constraints, the hustle and bustle of the distant streets rushed in.
Why is it so noisy?
Shenyue Xingyun frowned, stretched, and then closed the window.
When I arrived at the restaurant, Yekura was having a meal.
"Good morning," said Shenyue Xingyun, sitting down at the dining table and picking up a glass of milk.
"Did you make breakfast?"
Yekura: "No, it was Izumo who made it."
Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "Where did he go?"
Ye Cang: "I went out early this morning. I said the troops are returning to the village today, so I need to go early."
"It turns out the troops have returned. No wonder it was so noisy."
Just as Shingetsu Seiun was having brunch, outside the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen held a welcoming ceremony for the returning ninjas.
