Konoha: The road to the gods starting from Kannabi Bridge

Chapter 70: Continue to wait and see what happens?

Konoha Village.

Namikaze Minato came to the Hokage Building, which was shaped like an upside-down red bucket and had no architectural beauty at all. People along the way kept saying hello to him, and he responded to them one by one with a smile as warm and bright as the rising sun. Everyone who sees it is as comfortable as taking a shower in the spring breeze.

"What a pity, the famous grass has its owner!!"

"Yes! It's a pity that my idiot daughter still misses her... Oh, how sad!"

"Fortunately, my family is a stupid boy..."

in the hallway,

Everyone was talking nonsense, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

The Sand Ninja was defeated, the Cloud Ninja retreated, and the Iwa Ninja was pushed back to the Land of Earth. All the burdens that had once made all Konoha ninjas lose their smiles were lifted. Although the Touhou and Mist ninjas were still on their toes The fighting was fierce, but compared to the previous situation of fighting on all sides, it was not very good.

and,

Information came yesterday, and the war on the front line has made new progress. The Mist ninjas are already at a disadvantage. It is estimated that the war will end with their own victory in a short time. Maybe... Minato today He was recruited by Hokage-sama in order to end the war with the Mist Ninja as soon as possible.

Minato arrived at the door of the Hokage-sama's office without any obstruction.

Raise your hand,

He knocked lightly and said, "Hokage-sama?"

"It's Minato! Come in, the door is unlocked."

A somewhat deep voice came from the office.

Minato opened the door and walked in, and saw the Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, standing by the open window, smoking a pipe and puffing away smoke.

He stepped forward,

Standing still in front of the desk, he asked aloud: "Hokage-sama, why are you looking for me?"

He just came back from a mission yesterday.

He was originally scheduled to rest in the village for a few days, but he just received an urgent message, so he had to drop what he was doing and hurried over. Along the way, he was also wondering why the Hokage suddenly came to see him, and in the end he just guessed. Maybe something happened during the battle with the Mist Ninja.

Although a little tired,

But he still silently made psychological preparations to set off for the eastern battlefield.

however--

"Sansho Hanzo is dead."

Sandai spoke up and revealed the information that shocked Minato.

"...Sanshoyu Hanzo...is dead?"

Minato blinked in disbelief.

"I was also surprised when I first received this information. Sansho Hanzo... I didn't expect that guy to die at this time." The third generation sighed, Sansho Hanzo was of the same era as him He is an old opponent who has been fighting for many years and has not been defeated.

Suddenly I heard the news of Sanshouyu Hanzo’s death,

It’s really a mixed bag of flavors.

Then he thought of the Sandaime Kazekage who disappeared before the war broke out, and the Sandaime Raikage who later died in the siege of the Iwa Ninja... These old opponents of the same era died one after another, which made him think of his own. Aging day by day.

"...Sanshouyu Hanzo is dead. What did you come to me to do...?"

Minato quickly regained his composure.

<divclass="contentadv"> At such a young age, he did not have the complicated feelings of the third generation. Instead, he was confused by this unexpected news. If he was not prepared to go to the Eastern battlefield... then this Are you planning to ask him to go to the Kingdom of Rain?

"The information I received here said that the person who killed Sanshouyu Hanzo was the rebel ninja of Iwagakure Village, Kozhi Tamaki."

Sandai said.

"...Huzhi Yuzhang?"

Minato raised his eyebrows, but then he calmed down and praised, "I actually killed Hanzo the Sansho Fish...that's really awesome!"

He understood why he was called here,

He wrote a report on the ins and outs of the Kannabi Bridge operation and submitted it. Lord Hokage had read the report he submitted, and also praised him for using the Kozhi clan to tie down the Iwa nin. It can be said that in the village There should be no one who knows that young man from the Huzhi clan better than him.

right now,

After such a big incident happened, in which Kozhi Yuzhang killed Sanshouyu Hanzo, it was only natural that he would be called over for consultation.

"Minato, if I remember correctly, the report you submitted after the Kannabi Bridge operation mentioned Kozhi Tamazhang. Can you tell me more about this traitorous ninja of Iwagakure Village?"

"This is no problem, but my understanding of Huzhi Yuzhang has been recorded in the report, and I have nothing to hide..."

"It's not that you are hiding information. What I want to ask is your personal opinion of this Huzhi Yuzhang. You have dealt with this Huzhi Yuzhang and even the Huzhi clan... What do you think? Where are the clan planning to go? Are they planning to join the Sand Ninjas?"

"...Hokage-sama, are you trying to recruit the Kozhi clan?"

Minato asked in surprise.

"how come?"

The third generation smiled and shook his head, and said decisively: "Accepting this kind of instability will only create hidden dangers for the village. We in Konoha don't need this kind of instability."

To this answer,

Minato was not surprised at all. The Sandaime-sama had such a steady and exclusive character. At least the Sandaime-sama he knew would never accept the support of the Koeda clan. That's why Tamaki Koeda jokingly asked Konoha if he wanted to accept Konoha. When he joined the Zhi Clan, he made it clear that it was impossible!

As long as the third generation of the village is still in power,

Then such a thing is absolutely impossible!

"Then what are you..."

Minato stared at the Sandaime, his eyes full of confusion.

"This Kozhi Yuzhang is very dangerous. He can kill Sanshouyu Hanzo. No matter what method he uses, he has proven that he is a dangerous guy... If the Kozhi clan joins Sunagakure Village, It may be a big threat to our Konoha in the future!"

"This is indeed a possibility."

Minato did not refute directly. He first agreed with the Sandaime-sama's plan for a rainy day, and then said tactfully: "It's just that I think Iwagakure Village should take the threat of the Koeda clan more seriously than we do... Speaking of which, it was mentioned in the intelligence Are you going to Iwa Ninja? Shouldn't it be Iwa Ninja who is chasing the Kozhi clan? Why was Sansho Hanzo the one who was killed?"

Speaking of last,

He expressed his confusion.

"I also want to know the answers to the questions you asked, but the specific details are not mentioned in the intelligence that has been transmitted so far. It should take some time to investigate... Minato, are you suggesting that we Konoha continue Wait and see what happens?" Sandai did not divert Minato's attention, but directly stated what Minato meant.

"That's really my opinion."

When Minato saw this, he didn't hesitate and simply admitted it.

"In any case, Iwa Ninja should definitely be more anxious than us. There is no need for us to take chestnuts from the fire for Iwa Ninja at this time... No matter what, we still have to find out how Kozhi Tamazhang killed Sanshou Hanzo Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you make accurate decisions."

"...That's true."

The third generation nodded slowly.
