Naruto: Crossing the Still Water, Starting from the Blind

After leaving the Five Kage Conference venue, Ohnoki and Hiruzen met at the foot of Lone Eagle Ridge in the Iron Kingdom.

Ohnoki got straight to the point: "Hokage, regarding the deaths of Toshira and Omo, and the whereabouts of 'Kari', I have saved your face and not let you confront Uchiha Shisui in public. Everyone is understanding, are you?" Should I give you an explanation?"

If Hiruzen insists that Shisui did the thing, Ohnoki may not be able to make an attack. After all, he didn't come forward to confront him. This can also be explained by the saying "the purifier will purge himself".

But after seeing Shisui's strength in the face of the Five Shadows, Hiruzen finally lacked confidence, so he said tactfully: "I have no definite evidence... I confirmed that Shisui did it, I just said that he is the most suspicious!"

Ohnoki asked: "So, Konoha is indeed deceiving!"

Hiruzen evaded: "I can only say... the deaths of Higashikata and Omo, as well as Kari's disappearance, have nothing to do with Konoha."

Onoki emphasized his tone: "It is no longer an issue that has nothing to do with Konoha! The problem is that you provided unconfirmed false information on important diplomatic occasions and diverted the main conflict. This makes me feel very passive and annoyed!!!"

Hiruzen knew that he was in the wrong and softened his words: "I'm deeply sorry for this, but the matter has come to this. I hope that both parties can recognize the common enemy and maintain friendly cooperation..."

Onoki glanced at him from the corner of his eye, showing his strength: "Common enemy? The Hokage is now the other! In the past, Uchiha was a rebel ninja group in Konoha, a public enemy of the ninja world who wantonly invaded other countries! But now, they are recognized by the Kingdom of Thunder Legal Ninja Village! The cost of starting a war is unimaginable. Declaring war on Uchiha is equivalent to declaring war on the Kingdom of Thunder. Who can be spared from the war between the great powers? It is the same as the Fourth Ninja World War! You want me to destroy Iwagakure Village? Are you involved in the whirlpool of war?"

Hiruzen looked embarrassed: "What do you want, Master Tsuchikage?"

Onoki withdrew his gaze: "There must be an explanation for the deaths of Azuma and Omo, as well as the matter of Hunting. Since the incident happened in the Land of Fire, Konoha should be responsible for compensating Azuma and Omo. Death pension and return the living hunter to us!”

Hiruzen was in a dilemma: "The pension is easy to talk about, but we really don't know anything about Kari's whereabouts!"

Onoki, who was carrying him, raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Isn't it difficult? Then as an alternative, hand over the wood escape ninjas of Konoha."

Hiruzen: "What...wooden ninja?"

Ohnoki: "Is this also the previous negotiation condition? I know very well that Konoha has Wooden ninjas. In the past, he was Danzo's subordinate 'A'. He also participated in the assassination of you, and later left Danzo and joined your direct ANBU. , codenamed 'Tenzo', this is the intelligence we obtained in the early years. You don't have to deny it and hand over Tenzo. This diplomatic turmoil will be wiped out. Otherwise, Konoha will face the great enemy Mitsuyaku. If you stand on the rock again, The opposite of Hidden Village, you should weigh the consequences yourself!"

At this point, Hiruzen could only show his cards: "Tenzo is missing, and he did not return to Konoha after Kari's team met at the border!"

Ohnoki: "Then find him, live or die, or see his body. The time limit is one month! Any questions?"

"..." In the wind and snow, Hiruzen smoked his pipe and said nothing for a long time.

Anger welled up in Kakashi's eyes.

During the Five Shadows meeting, the Tsuchikage did not let Lord Hokage confront Shisui. Was this just to pave the way for the current negotiation?Forced by the situation, he could not covet Uchiha's eyes, so he settled for the next best thing and came up with the idea of ​​​​Senju Cells. Speaking of which, it was entirely a unilateral provocation by Iwagakure Village in the first place, right?Even if those three people really died in Konoha's hands, they were solely to blame!But the Tsuchikage was making things difficult, didn't he take Konoha's intimidation into consideration at all?No matter what, this is too much!

Kakashi, who couldn't bear Ohnoki's aggressiveness, was ready for a quarrel between the two sides. He opened the forehead protector that covered his eyes, unlocked the Sharingan, and Raikiri was ready to attack.

Onoki's guard, Huangtu, noticed Kakashi's movements and moved his broad body closer to Onoki, guarding against Kakashi's sudden attack!

Just like that... in the chilling wind and snow, the two sides faced off silently for three minutes.

In the end, the confrontation ended with Hiruzen's compromise.

"Okay, I agree to the conditions of Lord Tsuchikage. Within a month, Konoha will find Tenzo, and whether he is alive or dead, he will be handed over to the hands of Iwagakure. But if, I mean if, we search with all our strength, there is no If Tenzo is found..."

Onoki didn't leave any escape route for Hiruzen: "Then just wait for the revenge of Iwagakure Village!"

As soon as the words fell, Onoki stepped into the wind and snow without looking back. Huang Tu glanced at Kakashi sternly, and followed Onoki away.

Leaving behind a disappointed Hiruzen and a puzzled Kakashi!

Kakashi: "Hokage-sama, why do you agree to the Tsuchikage's rude request?"

Hiruzen: "Only in this way can war be avoided..."

Kakashi was speechless.

Hiruzen: "From now on, we will put Tenzo on the list of defected ninjas from Konoha, and search for his whereabouts with all our strength. Regardless of life or death, we must find him!"

Kakashi, who has a close relationship with Yamato, will inevitably feel sad: "In order to protect Aoba and Anko, Tenzo stayed alone to face the three Kari people. If he is really still alive, he will know that he has become a rebel ninja." , what would you think?"

Hiruzen lowered the Hokage hat: "There is no other way. The rise of Uchiha will have an unprecedented impact on Konoha. We must try our best to avoid making enemies with other ninja villages. Tenzo is an excellent Fire Lord." Heir of will, we just need to know it in our hearts, just like your father White Fang..."

Hearing the name 'White Fang' again from the mouth of an admirer, Kakashi's heart ached as if it had been torn apart.

Will of Fire? I always feel that something is wrong...

For the first time in his life, he had doubts about the will of fire that he regarded as his ideal.

In the ninja world, those who break the rules are called trash, but those who abandon their companions are not even worse than trash.

The words of advice given to him by his close friends were like a heavy hammer, torturing his heart.

In the forest on the border of the Kingdom of Iron, father and son were flying among the branches covered in silver!

Huang Tu asked: "Old man, after one month, if Konoha really cannot hand over that Tenzo, do you really plan to take revenge on Konoha?"

Onoki smiled and said: "Of course not. No matter how weak Konoha is, it is still a great country ninja village that keeps pace with us. It is impossible to really break up..."

Huang Tu: "Well, wouldn't we lose face?"

Ohnoki: "The reason why a threat is a threat is because it did not actually happen. If it did happen, it would not be a threat. Do you really think that Tenzo is my target?"

Huang Tu: "Isn't it?"

Ohnoki: "How important Hashirama cells are to Konoha! Even if Hiruzen really wants to release him, Danzo will hinder him! So, after one month, I will introduce new negotiation conditions!"

Huang Tu: "What you are saying is..."

Onoki, the two-person scale, showed a scheming smile.

——"Kakashi Hatake!"
