Chapter 69: The Responsibility of Choice

The wind blew into the hall of the City Lord's Mansion. Jiraiya had already put down the man and sat back on the main seat of the City Lord's Mansion.The atmosphere in the lobby was extremely dull. The leaders of the five major forces all looked at the other four people quietly with gloomy faces.

"How long do you have to think about it?" Jiraiya put down the sake glass in his hand and glared like a lion!

"Do you want me to explain everything clearly to you? Unless those few ninjas behind you are willing to die for your money, otherwise you would not dare to attack me, and I will not back down and allow you to take away some of your property. , your silence is meaningless."

Jiraiya looked around for a week and pronounced their fate very forcefully: "Don't waste my time! You have the only choice, immediately disband your forces, take your family and a little money enough for you to relocate, and leave Zhiwei City ! There is no second possibility, and don’t give me any conditions!”

"Konoha Ninja Village has the obligation to let the villagers of the Fire Country live a stable life, and we will never allow you to make any conditions!"

"..."

The faces of the five leaders had become extremely embarrassed, as if they were officers who were sentenced to death by the general during the Warring States Period.Jiraiya's last words echoed in their minds like rumbling thunder, completely shattering some of their inner thoughts.

After that, the silence that no one spoke could not last long. The first leader of the force who stood up to accept Jiraiya's proposal appeared, followed by the second, third...

Jiraiya sent people from the city lord's palace to follow them back, and while counting their belongings, he supervised them in disbanding all their forces.

On the other side, Sakutsu and Minato were bidding farewell to Yamabuki Chizuru and the others.

"Are you really leaving?"

"Yes, Master Hokage asked us to go back. If we don't hurry up, we will be scolded." Sakuyue picked up his backpack, "Sister Chixian, come to Konoha Village to play if you have nothing to do. It's not very far anyway."

"Okay~" Yamabuki Chixuan smiled and waved, "Then...goodbye, be careful on the road!"

"Okay! Goodbye!" Shuo Yue smiled and waved, then turned around and walked to Minato at the entrance of the courtyard, and the two left here together.

Although the final ending was completely different from what was initially expected, it would not leave any regrets in Shuo Yue's heart.This has always been the case. Unexpected events always disrupt the original plan.

Even if one day, due to some sudden accident, he takes a path that he never thought of, Shuo Yue will accept it alone.

There were no accidents on the way back. During the journey, Sakatsuki was still learning from Jiraiya his unique method of making seals with his feet, and at the same time he was also learning the ninjutsu scroll that Hatake Sakumo gave him.For Shuo Yue, who is ambitious, every bit of free time can bring her closer to her heart and her future.

A few days later, Konoha Village.

The gate of the village is still open, the clouds are scattered in the blue sky, and the goshawk is circling and making a loud cry, which makes Shuo Yue feel more friendly after having been away from the village for several months.

"Well..." Shuo Yue raised her hands and stretched, "I'm finally back."

"You two come with me to find Lord Hokage first, and then go home." Jiraiya said.

"Yes!" Sakuyue and Minato nodded together, and the three of them headed towards the Hokage Rock to meet the Third Hokage.

……

"咚咚-"

There was a knock on the door suddenly. The Third Hokage, who was checking the information behind the desk, immediately put the information down and habitually picked up his pipe and held it in his mouth: "Please come in."

"Well, excuse me." The familiar voice of his disciple sounded the moment the door opened. Although he hadn't seen it yet, the Third Hokage had already guessed who the person was.

"Hey! Long time no see, Jiraiya, Minato, and Sakutsu."

Jiraiya, Minato and Sakutsu bowed at the same time to show their respect for Hokage, and then Jiraiya asked: "Hokage-sama, I don't know what to do."

Why did they send ANBU to call us back? "

"Well, it's about something that came from the Kingdom of Rain."

The Third Hokage handed Jiraiya a comprehensive document that he had already prepared, and then said to Sakuyue and Minato: "The Country of Rain wants to hold the Chunin Examination to unite all countries, and I want to send you two to go there. Go. What do you think?"

"Go to the Land of Rain..." Sakutsu and Minato glanced at each other, and then they followed their long-standing tacit understanding and gave Minato the right to answer this kind of thing.

"No problem!" Minato said, "We are willing to participate!"

"Please wait a moment." When Minato gave the exact answer, Jiraiya, who had been looking through the information in his hand, stretched out his hand to stop Minato with a solemn expression, "Sandaime-sama, this information you gave me..."

"Yeah." The Third Hokage nodded, then closed his eyes and turned his seat to the back, with his back to Sakutsu and Minato.

Whenever there is something that requires his subordinates to make a decision, the Third Hokage will act like this.This act of turning his back means that he leaves the decision-making power of all matters to his ninjas. He will never interfere in any form or means with the choices of his subordinates.

Even if he is the third Hokage.

With such a sudden change in the situation, Minato and Sakutsu immediately understood that this matter was not that simple, and immediately turned their attention to Jiraiya.They knew that the cause of the matter lay in the information in Jiraiya's hand.

"Take a look." Jiraiya handed the information to Minato and Sakutsu, and said at the same time, "This is information from the village intelligence department. It combines the suddenness of the announcement of the Chuunin Exam and the long-term development of the Rain Country. actions and analysis reports.”

"This analysis report says that this Chunin Exam is most likely just an excuse in name only. The real purpose of Rain Country - Sansho Hanzo is to use this Chunin Exam to launch a war !”

"Uh!" Minato and Shuo Yue were stunned at the same time. War, is war already coming?

With such doubts, Sakuyue and Minato accelerated their reading of the information, and after they finished reading this comprehensive analysis that combined various accurate information, their expressions became solemn.

"Sandai..." Minato said softly, but there was no follow-up. This "Sandai" just meant that he and Sakutsu had understood the situation and were waiting for what would happen next.

"Although it is speculated that this exam may be a war conspiracy, we still have to send ninjas to participate." The Third Hokage said seriously, "We in the Country of Fire have always been committed to the peaceful development of countries. And if we If we refuse to take part in this Chunin Exam, our long-awaited wish for peace will be interpreted as a hypocritical excuse by other countries."

"Mutual suspicions between countries have always existed. If even we, the Fire Nation, do not stand up to maintain peace among countries, then the stable and peaceful life will say goodbye to us forever. So even if it is speculated that this time the Chunin Exam is very dangerous, We in the Fire Nation must also participate, and we must convey our vision of peace to all countries!”

"This is the position of our Fire Country. I hope you two can understand. Among the existing genin in our Konoha Village, I will select another seven outstanding genin to go with you. And you The two are responsible for the seven of them, and no matter what happens, they must be taken care of!"

"Of course, this is if you are willing to go and take this exam. I will not force my subordinates. Even if I am Hokage, I will not ask you to do anything with my own authority."

"You guys, think about it for yourselves."

"Sakutsuki..." Minato turned his head and looked at the person standing next to him, his long-time friend.

Whenever something like this happens, Minato will always give the decision-making power to Sakatsuki.If Shuo Yue says to go, then he will follow. If Shuo Yue refuses——

"Of course we will go!" Shuo Yue suddenly raised her head, and the determined look in her eyes was so exciting no matter how long it lasted!

"Members of the Uchiha clan will never shirk their responsibilities!"
