I teach kendo in the ninja world

Araki and Heigu's trip to the Kingdom of Sichuan came and went quietly.

Three days later, after completing their mission, Konoha's newly dispatched messenger team went to Jinshan Mountain to search for the missing Yamashiro Blue Bird. They also had some doubts about the two foreign tourists mentioned by Granny Sanjiao, but because one had no appearance, and the other had no There was no way to find out the name, so I had to give up hastily in the end.

At this time, Araki had already crossed the sea and returned to Kirigakure Village.

Water Shadow Office.

Goju Yagura was wearing the Mizukage God's robe, and the hat was placed on the table, and he looked up from a pile of documents.

"came back?"

"Ah."

"I already know what happened from Chana, but this time, our actions may have been a little too much."

A look of helplessness appeared on Yagura's baby face.

"How to say?"

Araki said doubtfully.

"Look at this, this is the news that just came back from the Kingdom of Thunder. The third Raikage is not actually dead."

Yagura pushed over a piece of information.

"The Raikage is not dead?"

Araki picked up the information and pretended to be shocked.

It seems that Obito is still on the old path of controlling a Kage!

He sighed in his heart.

"Yeah, not dead..."

Yagura sighed, "Our original intention was to help Cloud Hidden Village, which had lost the Third Raikage, maintain the balance of power with Konoha, but we didn't expect that after we got rid of Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato, the Third Raikage The shadow is back."

Having said this, he paused slightly, his voice lowered, and his face was a little unclear, "I even have some suspicions that this is because Kumogakure has seen through our strategic intentions and tendencies, and is deliberately playing a trick."

"Deliberately playing a trick, Kumogakure?"

Araki was speechless, "Do they have the brains?"

"Although from past events, the Raikage is more like a reckless man, but don't forget that the Raikage of all generations also have a very accurate vision of people. They know that their characters are flawed, so they have always looked for a person who is good enough. A calm and intelligent assistant. This matter was probably planned by this Raikage's assistant."

Yagura's expression was still serious, without any hint of joking.

Kirigakure Village made great efforts to help Kumogakure get rid of Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato this time, in order to smooth the gap between Konoha and Kumogakure.

In the end, the Third Raikage, who had been missing for almost a week, jumped out alive again, as if he was playing a joke on Kirigakure.

It's just that the joke isn't funny.

After losing Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato, what can Konoha do to stop the Third Raikage?What can we do to resist the chain reaction of Sansho Hanzo and Iwagakure who may also take action?

In Yagura's eyes, Konoha is now in dire straits. All fronts seem to be shattered at a touch, and even a single break will cause an even more terrifying chain reaction.

Kirigakure Village obviously worked hard to maintain the balance of power in the war, but in the end, under the deception of Kumogakure, it broke the balance with its own hands!

All the benefits were taken by Yunyin Village. How could this Goji Yagura not grit his teeth?

Is it tolerable or unbearable!

He could even imagine that the Third Raikage was probably teasing his immature Mizukage with his assistant in the office right now, with utmost contempt and ridicule.

This can even be said to be Yagura's worst fall since he was born until now.

Although there was no illness or pain, the frustration, as if his IQ had been crushed, was much stronger than the physical pain, and it was also much more difficult to resolve.

After all, the battle was lost. The best thing to do is to continue to strengthen training, improve strength, and hope to win back next time.

But what should you do if your IQ is crushed?

How can I improve my IQ?

This method has not been passed down by the Six Paths Immortal!

The frustration of being teased and the frustration of being unable to get revenge made Goju Yagura's emotions explode.

But he is Mizukage after all, and he still has to pay attention to controlling his image on weekdays. It was in front of Araki that he was finally able to vent his emotions.

"Um……"

Araki noticed the tone and expression of Goju Yagura, and he seemed to suddenly understand what the Mizukage-sama was thinking.

As a young man who has just joined the Five Shadows group not long after he took office, the most unbearable thing is to be looked down upon by the seniors.

And if the events of this time are taken together, this is more than contempt, it can be said to be a joke.

This is a big blow to Gouju Yagura, who is full of confidence and wants to lead Kirigakure to do something great.

Although this is actually all he overthinks.

But Araki couldn't comfort him from this direction. After all, it was difficult for him to explain the source of his intelligence to Yagura.

Although it is actually not a big deal to tell Yagura about the existence of Akkado's clone, but don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. Gotachibana Yagura, the so-called perfect jinchūriki, has a history of being controlled by genjutsu. .

Even that was in the original timeline.

So for some secrets, the fewer people know about them, the better.

But in this way, after putting all these operations on the head of the Third Raikage, it does look a bit scary.

He accurately saw through the strategic goals of Kirigakure Village, and then used his own fake death as bait to make Konoha relax his vigilance, while luring Kirigakure to help solve two difficult stumbling blocks for Konoha, and then he jumped out again. Pick peaches.

Between the clouds and the rain, Konoha and Kirigakure were completely toyed with applause.

If it wasn't clear that the Third Raikage was really dead, and that he was just a puppet now, and his purpose was just to bring down Kumogakure, Araki couldn't help but take a breath for him and sigh, "It's so scary!"

But in this case, how to comfort Yagura who was deeply hit?

Araki scratched his head.

……

……

Coincidentally, thousands of miles away in the Leaf Village of the Land of Fire, a conversation about the Third Raikage was also going on.

boom!

Orochimaru pinched the information in his hand and punched the table hard.

Fortunately, he was not a muscular tyrant like Raikage, otherwise Konoha's ANBU would have been forced to perform the art of quickly changing tables.

"what happened?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked a little puzzled when he saw his disciple's angry look.

Orochimaru was someone he had watched growing up. He was smart, alert, calm, and very good at hiding his emotions, and his joy and anger were invisible.Even if he is really angry, it will only show a slightly gloomy look on his face at most, and there will be few other more obvious manifestations.

This is very different from Jiraiya and Tsunade.

But now how...

"The Third Raikage has indeed returned to Kumogakure. His disappearance was a scam from beginning to end!"

Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice, "The purpose is to make that idiot Jiraiya relax his vigilance, and then take the opportunity to attack him!"

"This……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled when he heard this. He and the Third Raikage were old rivals. Although they had not interacted much in the past ten years, they had fought against each other when they were young, so they had some understanding of his character.

It’s not like the other party can do such an exquisite layout!

"Now that the Third Raikage is back, maybe Jiraiya and Minato are just missing temporarily? Maybe we can send a letter and ask?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

After killing Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya, because the bodies were taken away by Araki, neither Ai nor Kirabi claimed that they had killed the two, but said that they were also missing.

I don't know if it was to ridicule Konoha's previous remarks to the Third Raikage, or to make it easier to pass the blame to Kirigakure in the future.

In short, Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato are not [-]% considered dead.

However, unlike the Third Raikage who had no way to find out his life or death after his disappearance, both Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato signed a psychic contract with Mt. Myoboku.

The blood signature on the psychic scroll can clearly reflect their life status.

If the name is still blood red, it means the contractor is still alive, but if the signature turns black, it means the contractor is dead.

Therefore, after the news that Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato were missing came back to Konoha, Orochimaru immediately sent people to find the toads in Mt. Myoboku to inquire about the news.

It's just that because I lost my contractor, I couldn't use psychic skills to hand him over directly for questioning, and it would take a month to hike from Konoha to Mt. Myoboku, so the news never came back.

And as time goes by, everyone agrees that they have been sacrificed.

But this time, the return of the Third Raikage gave Hiruzen Sarutobi new hope.

He did not immediately blame everything on the conspiracy of the Third Raikage like Orochimaru, but hoped that his disciples and disciples could return safely like the Raikage.

squeak~

At this moment, a bumpy-skinned toad pushed open the door, jumped into the Hokage's office, climbed up to the desk, opened its mouth towards Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"My name is Kousuke, and I was sent by Fukasaku-sama to contact you."

Kosuke Toad said, "Master Fukasaku asked me to ask you, what is going on with Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato?"

Facing this toad, both Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen were very surprised.

They are now struggling to get in touch with Miaomushan!Isn’t this a pillow that comes right when you’re dozing off?

"Both of them are missing. We actually want to ask everyone in Miaomu Mountain whether the two of them...are still alive?"

Orochimaru asked before his teacher could.

"When Yin was sorting out the contract scrolls as usual today, he found that the names of Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato were dimmed. Because they are our only two current contractors, he immediately informed Fukasaku-sama, and Fukasaku-sama sent me Let me understand the situation with you.”

Kosuke Toad asked, "What's going on with the two of them?"

"Has the name faded?"

Orochimaru repeated in a low voice, and the light in his eyes dimmed a lot.

"The two of them have been missing for several days," Hiruzen Sarutobi tentatively asked, "I wonder if you could try summoning them using reverse necromancy?"

"No, Fukasaku-sama tried it when we were at Mt. Myoboku, and there was no reaction at all."

Kosuke Toad shook his head.

"It seems that idiot is really dead..."

Orochimaru smiled lowly, but his voice was filled with sadness and an imperceptible madness.
