Konoha: The road to the gods starting from Kannabi Bridge

Chapter 402 Huzhi Yuzhang will be our nightmare!

The waiting time is always so long and torturous, and the clock stopped turning as if it was broken. Fortunately, except Nara Shikaku, the other three sitting in the Hokage's office are all elderly men, no. The kind of young man whose butt seems to have advanced hemorrhoids and can't sit still.

Having lived for most of their lives, they have long been accustomed to waiting.

Nara Shikaku, a young man who is still a little far from thirty years old, moved a round stool. He did not dare to sit in the Hokage's seat. Instead, he sat aside and skillfully handled official duties on behalf of the Hokage.

I can tell,

This isn't the first time I've done this kind of work.

For this,

The three old men turned a blind eye. It was not like they had never seen such a scene before. Among other things, when the Sandaime was in power, Nara Shikaku's father often helped with official affairs.

Rather...Learning to use smart people from the Nara family to help with official duties proves that Minato, the Hokage, is really on the right track. You must know that using smart people from the Nara family to help with work is inherited from the first generation Hokage. It's an old tradition.

Every generation of Hokage always has one or two members of the Nara family around to help with work.

If anyone wants to ask,

Will such a tradition make the Nara clan powerful? The person who asked this question must not know the Nara clan. The people of the Nara clan dare not say that they are all peerless geniuses, but the brains of their clan It is indeed very useful, and there are always really smart people in their clan who know what can be done and what cannot be done.

And Nara Shikaku is such a truly smart person.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Nara Shikaku's busy figure, and couldn't help but recall the old memories in his mind... Before the memories could unfold the yellowed picture, a yellow flash appeared in his mind first. within the field of vision.

The Fourth Hokage,

Returned to his office.

Just for a moment,

The relaxed and soothing atmosphere just now disappeared, and everyone's nerves became tense. Nara Shikaku also put down the documents he had not read and turned his attention to the Hokage.

"Minato, how are you?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was the first to ask.

"...The Mizukage promised to return Hirohu to Konoha." After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's question, Minato pondered for two seconds before giving an answer.

And this answer,

to be frank,

This somewhat surprised Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, even Nara Shikaku blinked in surprise.

"Of course, people cannot be taken away by us for no reason. If we want to take Beiliuhu away, we need to pay a certain price!" Minato added without waiting for anyone to ask.

Now,

Everyone felt at ease instantly.

That’s right!

If the Mist Ninja really handed over the person... To be honest, everyone would really murmur in their hearts, and then they would rack their brains to figure out what kind of evil intentions the Mist Ninja was hiding.

"The Fourth Generation, what is the price we have to pay? You need to know that what happened to the Four Red Sun Formation can never happen again. Even if I risk my life, I have to prevent something like this from happening again."

Mito Kadoyan said loudly.

beside,

Xiaochun also nodded heavily when he went to bed.

"Don't worry! Elder Yan, I understand the importance of it. After all, Beiliuhu is just a traitorous ninja. It is impossible to say that the village has to pay a huge price to get him back."

Minato replied calmly.

"So, what price does the Mist Ninja demand?" Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly. He really couldn't imagine what kind of request the Mist Ninja would make.

"...Mizukage needs the help of experts from the Yamanaka clan to invade a person's brain." After two seconds of silence, Minato answered truthfully.

And hearing his answer,

Sarutobi Hiruzen and others also looked suspicious like him before.

"Invading a person's brain? Who is the Mist Ninja targeting?" Koharu blurted out after sleeping.

"It's a girl from Yunyin Village named Mabuyi."

Minato replied.

"..."

The three of them, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kadoru Mito, and Koharu, all fell into a state of confusion, invading the brain of a girl from Kumogakure... What did the Kiri Ninja want to do with such a perversion?

and also,

Who is this Mabuyi?

Is there some top-secret information hidden in your mind?

"Hokage-sama, if I remember correctly, Raikage's secretary is also named Mabui, right? Are they the same person?" Nara Shikaku interjected at this time.

"Yes."

Minato nodded, "The Mizukage is targeting this Mabuyi, but... what the mist ninjas want is not the information about Kumogakure that Mabuyi may have hidden in her mind. This girl... ····She is the daughter of Takai who was killed by Uchiha Hatoha. Like her father, she also mastered the art of heavenly sending!!!"

"...In other words, are the Mist Ninjas targeting the secret technique of Kumogakure Village?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's frown relaxed slightly, as long as he didn't cut his own flesh and blood from Konoha, that would be fine.

and,

By asking the people from the mountain clan to help invade the brain of this girl from Yunyin Village, doesn't it mean that my family can also take advantage of it? If it is really accomplished, the secret art of Heavenly Sending Technique will be jointly owned by the three families in the future! ! !

Even if there is nothing to be gained by taking a step back,

As long as he can make those bastards in Yunyin Village suffer, he will feel very happy. The death of his eldest son is a scar in his heart that has not healed yet!

"It would be a good idea to teach the Kumo ninjas a lesson."

Sarutobi Hiruzen slightly chinned his head, then frowned again, and said nonchalantly: "It's just that this thing seems to be very difficult to operate. Since this Mabui is the Raikage's secretary? How are the Kiri Ninja going to do it? Is it possible? I want you, Minato, to rush into Kirigakure Village and kidnap people, right? I have to let the Kirigakure do this job of arresting people..."

"I'm still considering whether to agree or not."

Minato's voice interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

his words,

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice stopped abruptly, and Mito Katoen and Koharu Koharu both cast doubtful glances at Minato.

"Why don't you agree?"

Mitomon looked at Minato in confusion, "Is there anything worth hesitating about? Is it possible, Minato, that you feel guilty for plotting against Kumo ninja like this?"

His expression became serious, and his eyes became sharp, "Minato, don't forget, you are Mizukage, your kindness can only be given to Konoha and the Land of Fire, if you treat Kumo Hidden Village... ··”

"Elder Yan, please don't forget that my wife was almost kidnapped by Yun Ninja in the past. The first enemy I killed personally was Yun Ninja. Maybe I might be soft-hearted when facing other villages, but only The Dokumo ninja... will never be soft-hearted." Minato glanced at Mito Kadoren coldly.

<divclass="contentadv">The latter was stunned for a moment.

Then I remembered that in the past, the Kumo ninja had sent someone to kidnap Uzumaki Kushina, who was not the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails. Minato, who was only a chuunin at the time, rushed to find the kidnapped Kushina before the Anbu, and then... ··Killed three Kumo ninja jounin, and staged an ancient drama of a hero saving a beauty.

This,

This is also the starting point for the rise of yellow flash in the ninja world!

Thinking of this, Mito Monobu was speechless, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed that his brain, which had become dull with age, had forgotten that the Yondaime and Sarutobi both had old scores with the Kumo ninja. Yun Ren doesn’t like it!

My own preaching,

It’s really so redundant that it’s embarrassing!

but,

In addition to being annoyed, he was also even more confused. Since Yumo Ninja didn't like it, why didn't he agree to steal the secrets of Kumo Hidden Village like Kirito Ninja?

"Minato, are you worried that this move will affect the alliance against Uchiha Hatoha?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen came up with another conjecture.

"I do have worries in this regard, but to be honest, that's not what I'm worried about. The Fourth Raikage may seem rough and arrogant, but in fact he is a smart man who knows the right and wrong. He is dealing with all the villages like Uchiha Hatoha. They dare not not contribute to a common threat."

Minato shook his head, denying the suspicion raised by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

and,

Turn around and gaze out the window at the prosperity of Konoha Village! !

this time,

Everyone was completely confused and couldn't figure out why Minato was hesitant.

"Minato, don't let us elderly people worry about it. Tell us what concerns you have and let's discuss them together and see if there is any way to solve them."

After a moment of silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Minato's back and spoke again.

however--

Minato remained silent and did not give an answer.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly, and the two consultant elders also frowned so tightly that they could kill a fly. At this time, Nara Shikaku held his breath and concentrated, lowered his breathing rate, and made his presence as thin as possible. stand up.

At this moment,

I can't help but feel a little envious of the guys in the Aburame clan who like to wear sunglasses. Their presence is as thin as air.

"Third-generation-sama, what do you think of Kozhi Yuzhang... and the acting Mizukage?"

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but was about to speak again, Minato's voice suddenly broke the oppressive and heavy atmosphere in the office, and he asked a... rather strange question.

"...A very good young man."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't understand why Minato suddenly asked such a question, but he still thought seriously for a moment and then answered.

"Yes! An outstanding young man, in just a few years, he transformed from a rebel ninja in Iwagakure Village to the acting Mizukage of Kirigakure Village... To be honest, excellent is not enough to describe him. Oh, Huzhi Yuzhang...he is a monster!!!"

Minato turned around, looked at everyone, and let out a long sigh.

"So, Yondaime, is this the reason for your hesitation? Are you... worried that this Tamaki Konoha will be a threat to our Konoha?" Koharu looked at Minato in astonishment as he went to bed.

As the advisory elder of Konoha,

She was undoubtedly a smart person, and after Minato said those words, she took the opportunity to see the reason for Minato's hesitation.

"Isn't this enough?"

Minato calmly looked at Koharu who turned to bed, "He has practiced Kozhi Yuzhang's earth escape technique to the point of perfection, and his defense is so strong that even Uchiha Hatoha's fellows are helpless. He can fight with Uchiha Hatoha for three days." Two days and two nights, it shows that he can resist Uchiha's genjutsu, he also masters senjutsu, and he also has the endurance to fight for a long time..."

"It can be said that his biggest shortcoming now is his mobility. He lacks efficient long-distance and large-scale movement, and the art of heavenly sending can help him make up for this shortcoming... and there is no shortcoming. Kozhi Tamazhang will be the main force against Uchiha Hatoha."

This doesn't sound like a bad thing.

But everyone here is not the kind of superficial person who only sees things superficially. They looked at Minato, waiting for the next step.

"But if one day in the future, like what happened during the Third Ninja War, we and Kirigakure Village are on opposite sides again, then... Kozhi Tamazhang will be our nightmare!!! "

Minato revealed what he was worried about.

Yes,

This is what he means.

He is sincerely worried about that kind of future. Don't look at the current atmosphere where everyone is working together to deal with Uchiha Jiuha's faction. Don't look at the calculations of the Kumo ninja before. They looked like they share the same hatred. Don't look at Yuzhang facing him. When I was talking to Minato-senpai, he had a very good attitude...

But in the final analysis, these are all temporary.

No one can guarantee that we will always maintain such a harmonious relationship in the future. It has only been more than fifty years since the establishment of the five major ninja villages, but in these fifty years, the Ninja World War has been fought three times! ! !

It can be said,

Peace is only temporary,

Conflict is permanent.

If he were just an ordinary jounin, there would be no need to think about such a long future, but he was no longer the jounin who only had to follow orders and act during the Third Ninja War.

He is now the Fourth Hokage!

He has the responsibility and the need to consider the future of the village.

"Minato, is this acting Mizukage... really as scary as you say? It sounds to me like this acting Mizukage is more powerful than Uchiha Hatoha?"

Xiaochun said softly before going to bed.

"Minato, it's a good thing to take a long-term view, but your worries are too long-term. The great enemy Uchiha Hatoha has not been eliminated yet. Now is not the time to worry about the Mizukage threatening our Konoha in the future."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke,

He also felt that Minato's worries were somewhat unfounded.

Unless this Kozhi Tamaki can reach the level of Shodaime-sama and Uchiha Madara, no matter how powerful he is, there is still a way to deal with him. To be disrespectful, he has mastered the art of Flying Thunder God and can come and go freely on the battlefield. The second-generation Hokage also suffered at the hands of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn brothers in Hidden Cloud Village.

Thinking of this,

Sarutobi Hiruzen's disgust and hatred for the Kumo ninja suddenly deepened a lot.

"..."

Minato said nothing.

He had expected this result. To be honest, he felt that he was a little too worried, but...

"Minato, if you really think that this Tamaki Konoha may be a big threat to our Konoha in the future, then find a way to let him fight with Uchiha Hatoha. Didn't you also say that he has obtained the Heavenly Sending Technique? Will Tamaki Koeda be the main force against Uchiha Hatoha? In that case, wouldn't it be better to let them kill you to the death?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Minato and said meaningfully.
