The Will Of Fire Cannot Save The Ninja World

Chapter 132 You guys are playing with fire

"What's the matter, Minato?"

Seeing Minato's strange expression, Kushina asked.

Minato turned his head to look at the street next door, and shook his head slightly: "No, I seem to have heard Kakashi's voice just now."

But thinking about the crazy look of that voice, I probably heard it wrong.

He jumped onto the house and sure enough, he didn't see Kakashi.

So he looked around Konoha with emotion.

He has been away from Konoha for a whole year.

Since becoming Jinchūriki, Jiraiya-sensei returned to Konoha early, and he also signed a contract with Mount Myōboku.

Because Kushina was favored, he made a joint contract with Mount Myōboku.

Both of them needed to better master the power of tailed beasts, so they devoted themselves to training at Mount Myōboku.

The unexpected cooperation of the tailed beasts made their practice more effective with less effort.

Minato is constantly improving his fighting style while practicing the Tailed Beast mode.

What made them decide to come back to take a look first was the last time Jiraiya, the teacher, visited them at Mount Myōboku, he was out of his mind.

"Minato, do you feel anything weird?"

Kushina looked suspiciously at the street, watching the people coming and going.

Inexplicably, the atmosphere was very depressing.

It was completely different from Konoha in her impression of peacetime.

Is there a war again?

"Ah, I feel it."

Minato frowned slightly when he heard the occasional gossip.

He fumbled in his pocket, took out the money and went to the vegetable market below.

Not long after, his face became serious.

Kushina listened to the speeches of the aunts and uncles, and was even more surprised for a long time.

This dignified atmosphere thought it was some kind of war, but in the end, it was just because the mission of Senior White Fang failed?

But as a ninja, who doesn't have a few failed missions?

"Senior White Fang's mission failed, and the consequences are particularly serious?"

Kushina looked at Minato, puzzled.

Those few people said that Senior White Fang had secretly communicated with the power of the Land of Rain, and it looked like something was going on.

But after thinking about it, she couldn't find a reason why Senior White Fang would do this.

Minato glanced in several directions one after another, shaking his head: "The focus is not on the task."

He keenly noticed that something was wrong with the ninja hidden nearby.

I used to be a member of Anbu, but now my breath is wrong.

Moreover, the focus of these strange ninjas is not on them.

That is, they themselves are responsible for what tasks on the street.

Minato thinks of the villagers who are still talking about it all the way——

Even if ordinary people are interested in a topic, most people still do their own thing after discussing it, and then either forget it or bring it up slowly.

But from returning to Konoha to the present, the topic of the failure of the White Fang mission has continued one after another. It seems that there are people talking about it in the street all the time, and even new guesses come out from time to time.

Originally, Minato thought that those strange ninjas were responsible for monitoring the villagers, collecting information, or suppressing the dissemination of information.

But now it seems that they have done nothing.

Even, Minato wondered if they were spreading it on purpose.

If so, who are they, and how do they run so unscrupulously in the village that they are left unattended?

"Let's go to Hatake's house."

With a bad premonition in Minato's heart, he brought Kushina to the door of Hatake's house.

As a result, the door was called for a long time, and the door was only half opened.

Seeing them, Kakashi was slightly disappointed, and closed the door without saying a word.

The two outside the door were silent.

Minato felt more and more that something was wrong, and looked in the direction of the Hokage building: "What are they trying to do?"

It's not a secret that the Hatake family is persecuted like this.

Would it be satisfactory to force Senior White Fang to rebel against the village and give up his ninja career?

If Senior White Fang perishes, or defectes, what about Yu Ye?

Minato suppressed the irritability in his heart, and said to Kushina: "I'll go to the Hokage building to see, Kushina, you go to Uchiha to see how Yuye reacts."

Such dirty methods cannot continue.

Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.

Maybe that's what the higher-ups wanted, but Minato couldn't accept it.

Knowing that the matter was urgent, the two set off separately.

Minato didn't hide his identity, and rushed directly from the roof to the Hokage building.

After reporting his identity, he went in. Before reaching the office on the top floor, he saw Mr. Jiraiya walking out of the office on the second floor with a gloomy face, followed by two Anbu members.

Jiraiya was a little surprised when he saw Minato, scratched his face, with a sleepy and decadent look: "Yo Minato, why are you back?"

When Minato saw the teacher, he felt a little more at ease. He wanted to ask, but he looked at the Anbu members behind Jiraiya and became embarrassed.

Jiraiya also turned around, "I'll have a chat with the students, it won't be enough, right?"

After speaking, he turned around, opened the door of the office just now, and waved to Minato: "Talk inside."

Minato entered the door under Anbu's vigilant gaze, and after the door closed, he couldn't wait to ask, "Teacher, who is this?"

He finished speaking before he noticed that the office had been temporarily transformed into a bedroom.

Dirty quilts and snack bags were scattered on the floor, only the small table next to the novel manuscript was clean.

Is this under house arrest in the Hokage building?

Minato was taken aback, the situation seemed more complicated than he thought.

Jiraiya unscrewed the kettle and poured a glass of water for Minato: "It seems that the old man has gone too far."

Minato was not in the mood to drink water, so he pinched the glass and asked, "What happened in the village during this time? And teacher."

Jiraiya scratched her head, looking indifferent: "I don't have anything to do here."

Jiraiya is under house arrest here, which is actually somewhat related to White Fang's mission.

The reason is the mysterious rise of the Kingdom of Rain, the rapidly expanding organization that wins over the hearts of the bottom.

It's just that the village and the fire country daimyo don't know who is secretly operating.

But Jiraiya knows something.

As the mentor of Konan, Yahiko, and Nagato, Jiraiya noticed the small organization they formed early on.

At first, he thought it was just a small fight, but he didn't expect to change his strategy suddenly last year, and the country of rain was quickly ignited like a prairie fire.

Konoha followed the opinion of the country of fire and felt that he wanted to stop it.

So Jiraiya was quickly retrieved.

But Jiraiya, who is obviously the head of intelligence, doesn't know anything about this kind of thing that happened under his nose?

This certainly cannot be fooled, but considering his identity, he was temporarily placed under house arrest in the Hokage building to enjoy Anbu's 24-hour surveillance.

Jiraiya naturally knows something.

The reason why he didn't say it was simple——

Because he thought it was Nagato, the son of prophecy.

Because the people of the Country of Rain did regain their vitality when he left.

Toad Sage said that the Son of Prophecy saved the world, and this is probably the beginning of the attempt to save the world.

How could Jiraiya just interrupt?

Especially when the situation itself is developing for the better.

Jiraiya briefly talked about her own problems, and didn't want to involve Minato.

Regarding Minato's question, he continued: "What you said about White Fang"

He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I didn't expect the teacher to let Danzo down like this."

Minato asked curiously, "Those spreading rumors, are those from Danzo?"

Jiraiya nodded and pointed to the door: "The people in Anbu are all busy nearby. I count them here every day. They don't do things. The ones outside should be Danzo's root organization. That guy is best at doing this kind of thing .”

Minato pondered and sketched out the general context of the matter.

——Danzo is afraid of White Fang's fame, and looks for opportunities to suppress White Fang, while Third Hokage sits idly by.

He couldn't help asking: "Where is Yu Ye? How does he react?"

Jiraiya touched her chin: "No response."

Seeing that the teacher was not alert, Minato smiled wryly.

No response is the biggest problem.

Yu Ye's feelings for Konoha were very weak.

Minato stood up and apologized, "I'll go up there first."

Jiraiya waved his hand, indicating that there is nothing wrong here, but after thinking about it, he suggested: "There is almost no possibility of turning things around, you... take it easy."

Minato nodded, but didn't take it to heart.

The teacher was worried that he would put his own future in it, but Minato never cared about his future.

Because this kind of future is not what he wants.

Minato went upstairs with a heavy heart.

In Hokage's office, both Third Generation and Danzo are there.

The two seemed to be talking about something just now, sitting very close.

Seeing Minato coming in, Danzo glanced, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

To say that what he dislikes the most now, besides White Fang, is Namikaze Minato in front of him.

Young, but very strong momentum.

Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the ashtray with his cigarette rod: "Minato is back, how is your practice?"

After a few absent-minded words, Minato pretended to be curious and said, "When I just came back, something big happened in the village? I see everyone is talking about it."

Danzo opened his eyes suddenly, and said coldly: "Oh? I don't know what happened? Then what did you inquire about before? Changes in prices in the vegetable market?"

Minato was startled, he didn't expect that what he had just inquired about with Kushina had already reached Danzo's ears.

He said calmly: "The national affairs discussed in the vegetable market always feel unreliable. Senior White Fang will have something to do with the country of rain. This should be a folk joke, right?"

Danzo smiled coldly when he heard this, but glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen from the corner of his eye.

The constant hype about the failure of the White Fang mission and the fury of the Fire Nation is indeed his work.

But White Fang has a connection with the Land of Rain, and only he knows about this heart-wrenching remark, which is a rumor from his old partner Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Danzo didn't understand until now, whether his old partner really felt it or maliciously speculated.

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered, looked into Minato's eyes, and slowly said: "Although that organization started this year, its prototype started two or three years ago. It is called a small organization around the Snake Canyon and Dongbo Town."

Minato sketched the map silently in his mind, and suddenly he was startled, and after realizing it, Hokage's eyes were extremely piercing.

That time and place, if you insist on getting involved with Konoha—Uchiha Yuye met the conditions back then.

Yuye became famous in the Snake Canyon, circulating in those small towns

If the object of suspicion is someone else, maybe the people present will ask one more question: What is the motive?

But Minato opened his mouth and wanted to say these three words, but he couldn't utter them under the gaze of Third Generation.

In the end, Minato could only murmur: "Senior White Fang won't."

Sarutobi Hiruzen burst into a smile, and seemed to be calm again: "Yeah, so this argument is also nonsense, and the people speculate randomly."

Minato thought to himself, how is it possible, no one would believe behind this scale.

His eyes slowly turned to Danzo.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also cast a vague glance at Danzo.

Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in astonishment, with a dirty word in his heart, he didn't know whether to say it or not.

There was a brief silence in the office.

But Minato came here to solve the problem, so he said: "Since it is nonsense, as long as the investigation is clear, everything will be clear. I apply to continue to complete the task!"

For tasks that have not been completed, as long as the target of the task does not disappear, continue to complete the task.

This is the normal situation, not an opportunity to eradicate dissidents.

Since Senior White Fang fell here, Minato continued from where he fell.

But his proposal was rejected.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said: "Minato, you have to get used to your current identity. I believe I don't need to go into details about Jinchūriki's current situation. The mission will definitely continue, and I have already started to arrange personnel to investigate."

Minato's heart sank when he heard that.

This is to make the matter of Senior White Fang into an iron case.

He couldn't go, and Yu Ye, who was suspected by Hokage, couldn't go either.

How the people who go there investigate and what results they get are completely under the control of the higher-ups.

Minato lowered his head slightly, looked at the chair under Sarutobi Hiruzen, and sighed helplessly.

He gave a quick report on the progress of his practice on Mount Myōboku and left the Hokage building.

When he got outside, he found a chance to transform, turned around and left.

Outside, everyone knew that Senior White Fang gave up the mission in order to save his companion, but no one cares about who that companion was and what kind of injury he suffered.

Judging from the current situation, the matter of Senior White Fang was definitely not a temporary idea of ​​the top management.

Since it was arranged in advance, most of the people who accompanied Senior White Fang had problems!

It is not difficult to know who is traveling with you.

Since the higher-ups want to do this, in order to ensure the success rate of the mission, they will definitely give priority to finding ninjas that White Fang knows.

Minato found the former comrades-in-arms of Senior White Fang, and confirmed the target without too much effort—even without deliberately investigating. The former comrades-in-arms of White Fang were also unhappy with the village's actions. White Fang.

"New assistant, Chūnin, wife Tomoko Maemura is seriously ill."

Minato recalled the information, biting his lip, eyes sullen.

This is the Achilles heel of specifically picking on Senior White Fang!

The impoverished couple lived in a relatively remote location, and it was almost evening when Minato found them.

However, as soon as he found the remote street, he saw thick black smoke rising into the sky.

Minato was stunned and hurried over.

I saw a dilapidated house that was almost out of shape.

There are firefighting ninjas around, trying to save.

But it's too late.

Only two charred bodies were lifted out of the ruins.

The neighbors next to me talked a lot, and many people sighed:

"Hey, it's not easy to be a new assistant. I heard that he was quite talented before, and he might even become a Jōnin."

"Isn't it? Who would have thought that Tomoko would be so ill, and all the new funding and energy were spent on her, and the result was still..."

"Xinsuke is too extreme, sophon is fine, he is fine, why did he die for love?"

"Hey, I heard people say that the new assistant has something to do with that White Fang, do you think so?"

Minato stared blankly at the two twisted corpses, his mind went blank.

For a long time, he followed the black smoke and looked at the black and red sky, sighing sadly.

"You guys are really playing with fire."
