"It is the Hokage's duty to protect the interests of Konoha."

The Sandaime looked at everyone around him with a smile, and said a slightly unreasonable sentence.

He stopped saying this before becoming Hokage, but he didn't expect to say it again after being Hokage for so many years and entering the palace for the second time.

There was no sense of shame in my heart, but instead a sense of honor and pride.

When the Sandaime said such words, most people in the conference room looked over in slight surprise.

Although the third generation of Iichi worked diligently to contribute to Konoha, he never said such sensational words except during the Ninja Academy entrance ceremony.

"Hiruzen, you have to understand the consequences. We finally managed to reach a truce with Kumogakure. If we continue to insist on our own way, how much damage will it cause to the village?!"

On the side, Mito Kadoyan, who was wearing glasses, spoke in a somewhat passionate tone.

"I'm not going to have my own way. Yunyin's actions have touched the absolute core interests of the village. I can't possibly watch them extend their hands into the village wantonly. Don't say more."

The Sandaime looked sideways at the two old friends who agreed, and then looked at the other ninjas around him.

Sitting around were the talkers of the major families in the village and powerful jounin.

Shi Yuan was naturally also in the conference room, but he was standing in a corner.

"We naturally need to protect the interests of the village, but sometimes there is something to be gained by giving up. Didn't Hinata propose another plan? We don't have to give up many things, and we can still get continued stability, so why not do that?"

Xiaochun also said aloud when he went to bed.

Although they already knew what Sandai meant at the four-person meeting, they still wanted to continue to persuade Sandai at this time.

"enough!"

The third generation raised a hand, "Being on top for so long has worn down your energy. I think everyone here doesn't want to see you continue to chatter."

"Hey!"

The two sighed, then looked at each other and stopped talking.

Seeing that the two people around him became quiet, the Sandaime looked at the others: "Everyone already knows the general story of the matter. This matter is completely because Kumogakure is touching Konoha and us. Everyone may be very angry, but we still have to restrain ourselves. But if the other party takes advantage of it, I will never tolerate their arrogance!"

"Shikaku, please tell me briefly."

Looking around, Sandai saw everyone with different expressions, and finally handed the 'microphone' to Nara Shikaku, who was sitting at the bottom.

"Everyone, although this diplomatic incident may lead to some major accidents, judging from the current situation, this possibility is not very high. However, we still need to strengthen our protection work, so I have already prepared a detailed report on this incident. Some arrangements have been made, and I hope everyone can contribute to Konoha."

"..."

Shi Yuan was still listening carefully at first, but he didn't expect that what Lu Jiu said had nothing to do with him, a loner, and his eyes began to wander.

As his eyes kept moving around the circular conference room, he noticed something.

In this meeting, Uchiha was not qualified to participate, and everyone seemed not surprised.

However, Shiyuan was not surprised in his heart. After all, the Third Generation and others already knew that there was a split in opinion within the Uchiha and some people boldly contacted Kumogakure. This naturally made them have no courage to invite the other party to participate in this meeting.

Furthermore, many people in the Uchiha family seem to disdain to participate in such meetings. They are immersed in some vanity and cannot extricate themselves.

The meeting lasted for nearly three hours, and the general content was to prepare for another raid by Kumogakure, so Konoha added a lot of troops and combat power to the border and Yuno Country border.

And the huge machine of the entire village must be running at full capacity to accumulate strength for a possible second war.

These are some necessary steps. The third generation does not want to happen, but it must be prepared in such a way.

At the end of the meeting, everyone left one after another. Although war was not a scene that everyone wanted to see, everyone had an attitude of sharing weal and woe, so it was not a negative attitude, but a high spirit.

Shiyuan didn't leave, and neither did the third generation.

There were only two of them left in the huge conference room.

"have a look."

Shiyuan leaned over and sat next to Sandai, and then Sandai took out a scroll from his pocket and threw it on the table in front of Shiyuan.

He was a little surprised, but Shi Yuan grabbed it and spread it out without hesitation.

There is a pattern of Kumogakure printed on the scroll using a special sealing technique, indicating that this thing comes from Kumogakure.

After taking a rough look at it, Shi Yuan's heart moved slightly, and finally he turned his attention back to the third generation.

"It seems that our attitude is still very useful. Yunyin doesn't seem to have anything else to do except strongly condemn. The words he uses seem to have become very standardized and cautious."

On the scroll was a reply from the Raikage to the Sandaime.

"Hehe! But you still need to pay more attention."

The third generation smiled, and then took back the scroll that Shiyuan had replaced.

"This is a confidential document. Only three people in Konoha currently know the contents, you, me and Shikaku."

"Why not make it public? If it is made public, it might boost our morale. I just saw many clan leaders and jounin of small families walking out with sad faces."

"During special times, I want to see how many monsters and monsters will jump out. Another one. Don't you think this can enhance the cohesion of the village?"

"Harmful!"

"?" Sandai looked over with doubtful eyes.

"No way, you don't even know what this means?"

"People are getting old."

"That's not okay. This is the most popular phrase among the younger generation in the village. As the Hokage, you can't fall behind."

After talking about some serious topics, Shi Yuan made a few random remarks to adjust the atmosphere.

"I will send the Kumogakure mission back tomorrow. You are ready to follow them and ensure that they return to Kumogakure in time."

The third generation picked up the cup on the side and took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then said to Shiyuan.

"Am I alone?"

"Of course not. Kakashi and Gai... naturally won't follow you. They have other things to do."

When Shiyuan heard the names of Kakashi and Kai, he smiled slightly, and then the smile froze on his face the next second.

He looked at the third generation with a resentful look on his face. Unexpectedly, the third generation with thick eyebrows and big eyes also learned bad things.

"So, I plan to let Shisui go with you to complete this escort mission. What do you think?"

"I have no problem letting Shisui leave the village at this time. It just depends on whether you are willing."

"I estimate that the reaction from Kumogakure is very dull, and it is very different from the previous attitude, so I suspect that Kumogakure will make some small moves, so I can feel at ease only if you and Shisui go together for this escort mission."

"very dangerous?!"

"Based on my understanding of the Raikage, although he answered calmly in his letter, he may have sent some jounin to pick up those ninjas who stayed in the village. They may not intend to restart the war, but they will show off their power to us. It’s very possible.”

"Then you let me and Shisui go?"

"Then why don't you go alone?"

"Okay, I'll go with Shisui."

"If you have nothing else to do, go back and prepare first. Go there early tomorrow morning to prepare to take over the task. Shisui will also be waiting for you there."

"it is good!"

Shi Yuan nodded, jumped up from his chair and walked towards the door.

Walking to the door, Shiyuan found that the third generation didn't seem to have moved, and suddenly looked back: "Old man, what you did this time is very good. Protecting Konoha is not something you just talk about casually. It seems that Shinobu is not completely old yet." through!"

The third generation was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy: "Get out of here! The old man has been very exhausted these past few days, so you can say some sarcastic words to me!"

"Also, be careful!"

"I know! I'm a ninja with a 100% mission completion rate. I'm much better than you, old man."

Throwing away a joking remark, Shi Yuan disappeared.

Naturally, he doesn't think he is as strong as the Third Eye, but judging from things like mission completion rate, he is currently the only player in the village with a full winning rate above Chuunin level!

Coming out of the Hokage Building, Shi Yuan was preparing to return to the laboratory.

A familiar face walked towards me.

"Jōnin Tokigen!"

Although the level is still very high, no one underestimates Shiyuan who has shown his prominence and is valued by the third generation.

"Master Nizuzu!"

It was Hinata Hiashi, the leader of the Hinata family, who came over.

"Do you have any bed attendants?"

"Yes, because I am not familiar with your residence, Shiyuan, so I have to wait here to thank you for what you did to Hinata not long ago."

"Oh? It's all right. After all, I joined the ANBU not long ago, and it is my task to monitor the Kumogakure messenger."

"I have found out what happened from others, so you can completely accept this thank you, Shi Yuan."

Rizu nodded, his waist slightly bent.

Although it is not as exaggerated as Ninety Degrees, this kind of thing is sincere enough for the patriarch of a big family.

"Well, I have already received your thanks. After all, we are all ninjas of Konoha. I don't want to see some tragedies and regrettable things happen. I just heard from the elder at the meeting that Hinata proposed a solution Plan, but he didn’t elaborate on it, could Mr. Rizu tell me briefly?”

Looking at the other party, Shi Yuan showed appropriate doubts.

"This……"

Rizu's eyes flickered a little.

"I heard that Mr. Hizu has a twin brother named Hizashi. Since the third generation and Konoha have shouldered everything, it is not bad for all of us that things are over now, but sometimes unnecessary sacrifices are not What a good way to solve a problem, sometimes even some seeds will be buried in the hearts of some people.”

"I'm ashamed to say it!"

There was a look of shame on Rizu's face, and at the same time he lowered his head and stopped looking at Shi Yuan.

"I have no intention of interfering with your family affairs, Mr. Rizu. I just heard some rumors and felt that something should not be done, so you don't need to take it to heart."

"Hey!" Rizu shook his head.

"Then I will leave first, Mr. Rizu is free to do as he pleases."

Shi Yuan also nodded slightly, and then passed by Rizu.

In fact, he couldn't say whether he had good feelings or bad intentions towards Rizu.

Perhaps the most inappropriate thing the other party has done is to lobby his own brother to take the blame for him.

Of course, the word "guilt" is not very appropriate here, and judging from the plot, Hizashi does not seem to be forced.

But to put it bluntly, who would be willing to die if they were not forced to do so?

Especially since Hizashi also has a three or four year old son.

However, Shi Yuan did not intend to delve into the grievances between the clan family and the branch family. He felt that he had done some things that were worthy of his conscience, so the rest would have nothing to do with him.

The place where Kumogakure lives.

The security here is still tight, and the remaining seven cloud ninjas are under house arrest in this house in disguise.

The ANBU no longer hid their positions and identities, and just stood blankly in conspicuous places around them, like humanoid monitors.

"Masato-sama, how long do we have to wait before we can leave here? I would rather die if I have been imprisoned by Konoha!"

A chuunin complained to Futaki Masato who was sitting there.

"Then just rush out and fight those ANBU. I think they will be willing to fight you a few times."

Masato's previous injuries have basically healed, and although his face is still a little pale, he is basically normal.Looking at the commotion of his subordinates in front of him, he replied angrily.

"This..." The chuunin's face changed after being choked by his words, and finally he calmed down and sat down on the bench behind him with some frustration.

"You don't need to think too much. I still say the same thing. Konoha doesn't dare to do anything to us. We have not done anything to harm Konoha!"

Masato looked around and explained to the people around him.

However, at the last moment, his eyes fell on Zhongcheng in the corner.

"I believe that the village has lost contact with us for so many days, which should also put pressure on Konoha. We can naturally go back by then."

Masato continued, saying that in the past few days, his role here was that of a smooth-talking leader, calming down those among his subordinates who were frightened by the prospect.

"Ok?"

Just as he was about to continue giving his subordinates some sips of chicken soup, Masato felt that the ANBU from outside seemed to have walked in.

He looked back and saw a ninja wearing an animal mask walking towards him.

"Everyone from Kumogakure, we have completed negotiations with Kumogakure and your Raikage. You can go directly back to your village early tomorrow morning."

Anbu's voice was extremely deep, but there was something loud about it. If I had to describe it, it was like a subwoofer?

"Is that so? Then we will remember what Konoha has done to us these days."

Futaki Masato frowned, and then there was a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"casual."

The ANBU didn't look at him directly, and left immediately without saying a word, unwilling to give any face to everyone in Kumogakure.

"Damn!"

The cloud ninjas looked at the maddening attitude of the Anbu, and an unknown fire suddenly burst into their hearts.

But they soon realized the current situation and calmed down.

The day passed quickly.

After getting up early to prepare, Shiyuan made sure that he had brought everything he needed, and then said a simple goodbye to Kimaru, who was still sleeping soundly, and left.

Shi Yuan didn't feel too panicked, and even had breakfast on the way.

When he arrived not far outside Kumogakure's residence, he saw that Shisui had already arrived there before him.

"Senior! Good morning!"

"morning!"

Shi Yuan waved his hand, looking very relaxed.

He looked at Shisui at this time and found that the latter's expression was slightly tired, but deep in his eyes there was a little more expectation than before.

This is naturally a good thing, and it shows that Shisui is indeed a little more confident in dealing with Uchiha matters under his guidance.

"The mission should be clear. The third generation may have asked the two of us to perform the mission together just in case. We must be busy along the way."

"With senior here, I have nothing to worry about."

Since the first time he teamed up for a mission, Shisui hadn't seen Shiyuan take action for a long time.

Before, he had great confidence that he could defeat Shi Yuan, but after so long, he found that there were more and more fogs on Shi Yuan, and it seemed to be growing every time he saw him.

The terrifying speed of becoming stronger strengthened his trust in Shiyuan.

It was a strange feeling that he recognized Shiyuan's character and character, and felt that he would not be a vulgar guy, so he was willing to share some private things with him, such as Uchiha matters or matters related to the Sharingan.

"I'm not as good as Shisui. I still have to watch your actions at critical moments."

Shi Yuan joked.

Various avenues have been making steady progress recently, so he doesn't know how strong he is.

Anyway, that night a Kumogakure jounin almost ran him over.

However, he still dared not underestimate Shisui.

Kaleidoscope-level eyes have broken away from the boundaries of the world, so he has never really faced it, and he is not sure whether he has the ability to compete.

Being cautious is what a mature ninja should do.

"But I'd better briefly explain the situation to avoid any discrepancy in information between us."

"Our mission is to send Kumogakure out of the Land of Fire, ensuring that there are no accidents or small moves along the way. Of course, according to the Third Generation, Kumogakure may already have an army or a ninja team on the way to pick up these Kumo ninjas. We You also need to step out and step on the opponent when they plan to show their strength."

"Understand?"

Shiyuan looked at Shisui.

"Understand!"

Shisui smiled.

"That's good. If there's no problem, let's set off. It seems that those Kumo ninjas are about to get up too."

"Ok."

The two of them walked side by side towards Kumogakure's house.

The matter of 'escorting' the Kumo ninja away was naturally done secretly, but whether it was Konoha or Kumogakure, everyone knew something.

Under the watchful eyes of several Anbu, Kumogakure's mission into Konoha started again.

However, compared with when they arrived, there was one less person.

And it was slightly different from the expectation that they could take away a Hyuga ninja. They did not successfully complete the task.

"Let's go, Zhongcheng. What are you still thinking about at this time? Don't make things more complicated!"

Masato motioned to Nakajo, whose eyes were wandering.

The other party had already told him everything that day, so he naturally knew what the other party was waiting for at this time.

But it was already at this time, how could Uchiha give a reply.

Under the watchful eyes of many Anbu, he came into contact again with the Kumogakure mission who had already turned against Konoha?

[Receive the red envelope] The cash or coin red envelope has been issued to your account!Follow the public.public.account [Book Friends Base Camp] on WeChat to get it!

Unless Uchiha wants to betray Konoha tomorrow and follow them to Kumogakure.

"Yes!"

Zhongcheng also realized that he was overthinking, so he raised his head and kept up with the pace of his companions in front.

Seeing Kumogakure officially crossing the guard of the gate and leaving Konoha, Shigen smiled: "Let's go, let's start working too!"

The two figures did not hide much, but among the Kumogakure mission, only Jounin Futuki was aware that someone was following them.

The gentleman was not surprised and simply pretended that he had not seen it.

Cloudy Village.

"Should I say that idiot Yaya is stupid or stupid?! Why didn't we choose another way to achieve our goal when things were exposed? Why did he just commit suicide on the spot to frame us? Do we really think that people in Konoha are already weak?!"

Lei Ying said angrily, and a trace of electric arc flashed on the short white hair on his head.

"Konoha's unwillingness to compromise is to be expected, and we don't have to push them too hard."

On the side, Tutai supported his chin and said.

"Then we can't just let it go!"

In another direction, a burly old man said in a deep voice.

"Of course it's impossible to just let it go!"

The corners of Lei Ying's mouth curled up slightly.

"Huh? What should I say?!"

Another middle-aged jounin who was highly respected in Yunyin Village asked doubtfully.

"Hehe!" Raikage leaned on the chair, "I have taken some ninjas deep into the country of Yu to pick up those ninjas on the way. Of course, I also have to tell Konoha that our Kumogakure is not afraid of Konoha now, although this time we do It’s indeed a bit much, but the person with the big fist is destined to be the strongest!”

"what?!"

The crowd exclaimed.

They all looked at Raikage who was sitting in his seat.

"Yes, I have already set off, this is the clone!"

Looking at the surprised expressions of the people around him, Lei Ying grinned and showed his full white teeth.

"How is this possible? Raikage, why don't you discuss it with us? We should naturally put some pressure on Konoha's intransigence this time, but why did you risk your life? If the people of Konoha knew in advance that you were leaving Kumogakure, they would Bring a few ninjas to the border, they might set an ambush against you Raikage!"

Dodai stood up from his seat.

He has been valued since the previous generation of Raikage, and he can be said to be a courtier of the Yeyue family. However, the two generations of Raikage that he has been with have such hot tempers and often do not tell the people around them about their action plans.

"It doesn't matter, Konoha won't know this news, and I have some experience after fighting the Third Hokage last time. Even if he appears again this time, I am [-]% sure to defeat him!"

"As for other miscellaneous fish, what's the use no matter how many there are? No one in this ninja world can keep me except the original Yondaime Hokage!"

Raikage said confidently.

"If you don't believe it, I will send someone to follow you Raikage."

"It's up to you. I guess I've already arrived near the border of Yuno Country by this time, and it's too late for you to set off at this time! Haha!"

Raikage looked around, everyone had different expressions.

They know the character of their own Raikage very well, especially the older generation of ninjas sitting here. It can be said that the previous generation of Raikage, the Sandaime Raikage, was targeted by Iwagakure because of that kind of character, and finally ended up with a powerful Die from exhaustion.

"Toutai, gather the people and set off, we can't let the slightest surprise happen to Raikage!"

An old man who spoke before gestured to the earth platform.

But even though he said this, he also recognized what Raikage just said.

Even they were surprised that the Raikage actually chose to leave the village to personally receive the batch of Kumogakure messengers, and the people of Konoha would only be even more surprised.

Another thing, as the Yondaime just said, who else in the ninja world can keep him now?

nobody!
