Traveling through Naruto: I am the strongest rotten person!

The fact that the ninja leader Kumogakure came for peace talks was killed because he tried to kidnap the heir of the Hyuga clan under the cover of night, caused a great sensation among the high-ranking officials in Konoha.

Those senior officials who are tired of war cannot help but worry. If this affects the peace talks, then...

More people despised Kumogakure's sneaky behavior. The meeting lasted for two hours, and most of the two hours were spent scolding the ninja Kumogakure.

This matter was initially blamed on Konoha's side, but now that the culprit is dead and there is no evidence, Kumogakure's side has no need to admit it.

They did not admit that the ninja leader tried to kidnap Hinata, but instead said that Konoha deliberately killed someone.

No need to think about it, the final development of the situation will definitely go in this direction.

It's like a thief breaks into your house and you kill him by mistake during a fight. No matter how you explain that he is a thief or that you killed him by mistake in self-defense, no one will believe you. Instead, it's more like making excuses.

No one can prove that this person is a thief, and no one can prove that you did not kill someone intentionally.

Kumogakure's people died in Konoha for unknown reasons, and this has become a diplomatic issue.

This is the first diplomatic issue Minato has encountered since taking office. This kind of thing is definitely not a trivial matter. If it is not handled well, the armistice and peace that he finally hoped for will come to nothing.

Although Konoha still has the strength to continue fighting, who really likes war? The life of a ninja is also life. Try not to lose your life if you can.

After receiving the news, Kumogakure gave a very unkind condition. As long as the Hinata Hizashi who killed the ninja leader was handed over to them, they could treat it as if it had never happened, and they would continue to abide by the original agreement.

Is there any essential difference between this condition and the ninja leader who kidnapped Hinata under the cover of night?

In the final analysis, it's just for a pair of supercilious looks.

As the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hizashi cannot be handed over.

He had to come up with a way to calm down Kumogakure's anger without handing over Nizu.

Minato felt very aggrieved. It was Kumogakure who wanted peace talks, and it was Kumogakure who was causing trouble. The key point was that the location of their troubles was still in Konoha. This was simply a great shame and humiliation.

Minato was making a difficult decision. He knew the consequences of this decision, but he didn't want Kumogakure to get his way.

On the night after the New Year, he rarely went to see Tobirama. At that time, Tobirama was watching TV series with Kagura at home. Kagura was eating oranges and watching TV to kill the boring time, and Tobirama was reading a book beside him.

He has been like this all his life. He lives a busy life and feels uncomfortable when he is idle.

Obviously he could watch TV and relax, but he couldn't put down the book.

The room was quiet, with only the sound of characters talking on the TV. The couple sat around the kotatsu. They didn't need to say anything. They felt safe and content just leaning together.

For a moment, Minato seemed to see himself and Kushina decades later. If they were destined to survive, they would probably be like this when they grow old.

Tobirama was surprised by Minato's arrival, but he soon knew Minato's purpose.

Although he is no longer Hokage, he still has his own ANBU, and what happened with Kumogakure is not a secret to people at their level, and it is understandable to know.

Tobirama closed the book and placed it on the table. He took off his glasses and placed them on the cover of the book. After handing Minato a cup of freshly brewed black tea, he signaled for Minato to start talking.

Minato was still a little embarrassed. This kind of thing should have been decided by the Hokage himself after a meeting, but he actually wanted to listen to the ancestor's opinion.

But the matter is very important, and it is necessary to listen to Tobirama's opinion.

Although Tobirama may not be the most capable of fighting among all the previous Hokages, he is definitely the one with the most political skills, both internally and externally. That is why he directly skipped the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and went to Tobirama. between.

Minato told him his plan, but Tobirama felt a little sad and melancholy when he heard it.

"Fight," he sighed. "Everyone was looking forward to a complete end to this war, but in the end it ended up like this."

"Yeah, so I'm struggling. If we don't fight, I'm afraid that other villages will follow Kumogakure's example. If this is the case, it will be a minefield for the future of Konoha."

Minato was right, it was indeed possible.

Tobirama mentally calculated Konoha's current financial resources and combat power. No matter how he looked at it, Konoha had the strength to fight again. It could be as short as one or two years or as long as several years. There would be no problem.

But no matter how small the number of ninja deaths is, it will still be [-]% painful for the families involved.

Isn’t this why everyone wants peace?

"The Fourth Raikage is not a simple guy. He has a brain. At least he has a very smart strategist beside him to advise him. Hum~" Tobirama chuckled, "No matter what happens in this matter, Neither of them is at a loss, as long as they can't come to an agreement and continue to fight, it was the same fight before anyway, so even if they continue to fight, nothing will change."

And they just gave Konoha a hope of a peaceful truce. When there was no hope, no one felt anything. But once they had this hope and it was infinitely close to being realized, it seemed to take root in their hearts. Same.

If we fight again, our own people will be the first to have opinions.

Things that can be solved by sacrificing a member of the Hyuga family actually require them to go through life and death on the battlefield for a long time to do it.

This is definitely a good move for Yunyin, it is a soft knife that can kill without blood.

"But if we compromise, they can get the eyes of the purest clan of the Hyuga family, ha~ It's not a loss anyway."

"So," Minato said a little anxiously, "I am still too young, and I still want to ask the second generation for your opinion on such a big matter."

Kagura, who had been watching TV silently at the same table, slowly turned his gaze from the TV screen to Minato's face.

Without waiting for Tobirama to comment, she asked abruptly, "The Hinata family didn't think about finding a scapegoat to solve the problem, did they?"

Tobirama was startled and asked her doubtfully: "What scapegoat?"

Putting down the leftover oranges in his hands, Kagura smiled, "This time, didn't the Hinata family want Hizashi to be handed over to Kumogakure to calm things down instead of Hizashi?"

She asked, and Minato instantly lowered his eyes. Seeing him like this, Kagura knew that the elder of the Hyuga family still had this plan in mind.

That's right, I didn't mess with it, but I was just following the original path.

Just listen to Minato whisper: "I haven't agreed to this matter yet. Although this seems like a solution to the current conflict, it is not a long-term solution after all. I don't need to say how precious the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is. If Yun If Yin succeeds today, other villages will follow suit, and what will we do then? Is it possible to take away the eyes of the entire Hyuga clan in exchange for peace?"

"Well said, you really didn't disappoint me, Minato." Kagura sparsely clapped her hands a few times, which made Minato feel a little embarrassed for a moment.

Kagura looked away from Minato's face, and she turned to look at Tobirama.

There is a vague smile on his lips, and there is a sense of seeing through you in his eyes.

"Do you want him to hit you?" Kagura asked Tobirama with a smile.
