Ignite the fire from the pirates
Page 462
Three days later, Minato's team returned to Konoha.
During the three days, the three disciples and Minato had many discussions.
Minato arranged his background.
Kakashi said nothing, but his mind was in a mess. He kept worrying about the importance of the mission, his teammates, and the village.
Nohara Lin smiled and said that for the safety of the village, she was willing to be sent to Kirigakure.
Only Obito shouted that no, he would protect Rin no matter what, even if he had to fight his way into the Hidden Mist Village alone.
The communication baby from Myoboku Mountain was summoned, and a letter was delivered to Jiraiya who was on another battlefield.
It took a total of four days. After Kirigakure learned that the plan had failed and that the Three-Tails had been taken away by Konoha's ninjas without a riot, its first reaction was to negotiate with Konoha's top leaders.
It was so fast that the messenger arrived as soon as Minato returned to the village.
……
Hokage Building.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was looking at the scroll in his hand, while the Kirigakure messenger in front of him stood waiting.
As soon as the scroll was put down, he asked, "What do you think, Hokage?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes narrowed, "I am very confused... Why was the Three-Tails sealed away in the body of a Chunin from our village?"
The Mist Ninja said in a deep voice: "While we were fighting with Sand Village, the Konoha ninja lurking on the border set their sights on the tailed beasts. This behavior is intolerable to the Mist Village."
"The leader, Golden Flash, is said to have a close relationship with the Uzumaki clan, Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and is also practicing advanced sealing techniques."
"It's not that difficult to do this, is it?"
As he finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen slightly tightened his grip on the pipe.
spy?
No, there are definitely spies from Kirigakure lurking in the village, but they would never know such details.
Intimacy with Kushina, Sealing Technique...
Minato's information was what he had handed over to Danzo personally not long ago.
Originally he wanted him to be more obedient. Minato was not Sakumo, and he would never allow him to use the same methods as before.
but now……
"The truth of the matter should be clear to Kirigakure itself. I also have a mission report here, perhaps Kirigakure's messenger can take a look."
A scroll was thrown out and caught steadily by the Mist Ninja.
After just a moment, the scroll was put away.
"Hokage-dono."
"Ok?"
"Before I left for Konoha, the village also gave me a message to pass on to the Third Hokage."
"explain."
Sparks lit up on the pipe.
The Mist Ninja said: "The tailed beasts are the war deterrent weapons of the five major ninja villages, and they are extremely important. If Konoha is determined not to return them, then the war will inevitably continue, and it will not end until one dies!"
"Until death?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked a question in return before saying in a deep voice: "Just relying on Kirigakure... is not enough to say this."
The Mist Ninja also said: "Please believe in the will of the blood mist, Hokage. With the Mist Village trying their best, the Sand Village, the Rock Village, and the Cloud Village will surely not wait quietly."
As soon as these words were spoken, the real purpose was revealed.
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew the truth of this sentence. If Kirigakure attacked Konoha regardless of the losses, then both sides would lose a large number of troops...
The other three ninja villages will pounce on them like hungry dogs and turn the five major ninja villages into three major ninja villages.
But does Kirigakure dare to fight?
Do you dare to ignore the gains and losses and suffer losses on both sides?
He didn't know, but he didn't dare to bet.
A puff of smoke ring was exhaled, like a sharp blade.
Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly: "I still need to inquire about the specific details of the mission. It will take time to consider how to respond to Kirigakure."
Mist Ninja: "Seven days. Seven days from now is the last time I can go back. If Konoha still can't make a decision by then, my life or death will not matter."
After saying that, the other party turned around and left.
Sarutobi Hiruzen remained sitting in his seat and quickly made his choice.
The life or death of the messenger is no longer important, which means that Kirigakure will directly regard it as a rejection by Konoha.
With such an attitude, coupled with his understanding of the blood mist system, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage...did not dare to gamble.
"Dong dong dong..."
There were footsteps outside the office.
Then the two advisors and Danzo walked in.
The four of them were silent for a long time.
"During the Third Shinobi World War, the village basically fought with the other four ninja villages once, and Kirigakure even fought twice."
Mitomon En was the first to speak: "There are already too many students graduating early from the Ninja School. If there is a break in the generation... the consequences will be disastrous."
Utatane Koharu: "That child can understand. For the sake of the village, the Three-Tails will be returned to Kirigakure, and the war will end after the alliance agreement is signed."
Finally, Danzo looked gloomy and looked directly at Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Mistakes in decision-making led to today's problems. As the Hokage, you need to be more responsible."
"boom!"
There was a bang on the desk and Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up suddenly.
"Relieve Danzo from his position as advisor! Get out!"
The veins on Danzo's hand holding the cane popped out, and he asked tremblingly: "Why...?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "I am the Hokage!"
……
Chapter 349: Namikaze Minato's Awakening, the Result of Fighting or Not Fighting
I am the Hokage...
Just these one sentence seemed like a sharp blade piercing Danzo's heart.
There is no way to refute it, and there is no way to resist it.
Some actions can be carried out in secret, but never in public, because of the difference in identities and his understanding of this old friend.
The Root was established and handed over to him, to some extent, because Konoha really needed the Root, a department to deal with dirty things.
At the same time, he is also the most suitable candidate.
In the Hatake Sakumo incident, neither he nor Sarutobi Hiruzen actually thought that the Konoha White Fang would commit suicide because of it.
Such a powerful fighting force, no matter how it is used, should not be consumed in self-destruction.
There are even human experiments...
Anything that can make Konoha strong can be tolerated as long as the darkness is not exposed to the sun.
The power of the first generation of Naruto God was the power that could silence the entire ninja world and make Konoha the only power.
So... Konoha is the opponent's Achilles' heel.
"Boom."
The crutch hit the floor, making a crisp sound.
Danzo turned around and said, "After the war is over, I will challenge the position of Hokage."
"Boom."
Once again, the office door was slammed shut.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was still smoking his pipe, showing no sign of worry.
question?
Under the towering trees, the tangled roots absorb nutrients for the trees, but the roots in the dark soil underground can never be bathed in sunlight.
Because every part that forms a towering tree will not allow it.
If the roots are no longer absorbing nutrients for the tree and have rotted, they need to be treated.
"Hiruzen."
Mitomon En looked in the direction of the office door: "No one, whether it's the Daimyo Prefecture or us, will support him."
Blowing out a puff of smoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice: "But someone does need to be held responsible, right? Whether it's the losses in the war or sending Nohara Rin to Kirigakure, someone needs to be held responsible for this."
Hearing this, the two consultants fell silent.
No one wants the war to continue, and Konoha's military strength will not allow the war to expand again.
As the center of the five major countries, it has always occupied the richest territory. Once Konoha weakens, the encirclement is imaginable.
But sending the ninjas of one's own village to the enemy is a decision that will definitely not be accepted by the middle and lower levels.
So...it needs some modification.
But modification can be explained to the middle and lower levels, but it absolutely cannot be explained to the higher levels.
The senior management here is not necessarily the decision-making level, but can also be the combat level level.
Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya, even Tsunade and some elite jonin who are related to them.
"Namikaze Minato... is the key."
Utatane Koharu looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Uninherited Ninjutsu and Flying Thunder God, no one knows better than us what kind of combat power will be formed when the two are combined."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.
If it weren't for them, the teacher back then... Moreover, Minato's Flying Thunder God Jutsu has been developed to a more perfect level now.
"I'll talk to Minato."
"At the same time, after the war is over, I will resign from the position of Hokage and recommend Minato to become the Fourth Hokage."
Upon hearing this, Mizuto Menen and Utane Koharu looked at each other.
This kind of decision is already a gamble.
If hatred affects one's thinking, then Minato Namikaze, who becomes the Fourth Hokage, will always be thinking about going to war with Kirigakure.
"Is it not possible for Jiraiya?"
"Tsunade is equally suitable."
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head slightly but did not give a reason.
Hemophobia, Destiny's Child...
These two things and their respective personalities determined that the two disciples could not become the Fourth Hokage, and the most important thing was...
"Responsibility can become a shackle. This responsibility will become one with Konoha as the family is established."
Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and with just one sentence, he made the two understand his decision.
It seems that it is the characteristic of these people to be able to see clearly what a person cares about most, and it is clear at a glance.
Kushina, the Jinchuriki, the Hokage, and the village, when these become one, Namikaze Minato will only be the golden flash of Konoha, and nothing more.
"There is no other way. The village can no longer endure being attacked from all sides again. This is the fate of the child."
"This is the fate of a ninja. To sacrifice for the village, even if her name cannot be engraved on the memorial, she will understand."
"Ending the war with one person's life is a worthwhile sacrifice. Namikaze Minato will understand, and everyone in the village will understand in the future as well."
