I established the Kua Kua Cult in Naruto

Chapter 177: As for the question of life, some people take it as a closed book test and some people take it as an open book test.

Although Tatsuma has not been on a mission in the past four months, the ninja world has not stopped, and the war has not stopped.

On the front led by Uchiha in the north, the Konoha ninja soldiers are divided into two groups. One side often sails to the Kingdom of Thunder to conduct reconnaissance missions. Of course, the survival rate is extremely low.

However, this also greatly interfered with the actions of the Cloud Ninjas, making it impossible for them to move their front out of the Kingdom of Thunder while hiding.

The other side used the Kingdom of Frost to reach the northeastern border of the Kingdom of Frost and stationed troops to guard it, blocking the way for the Yun Ninja from the Kingdom of Thunder to leave the country by land.

The Uchiha who were on duty were also in constant battles with the Kumo ninja, losing one batch after another. However, the top management of Konoha didn't care, and the Uchiha himself didn't seem to care either, and was even a little excited.

In the northwest, the Konoha ninjas who were transferred back formed many formations and entered small countries such as Taki Country and Tian Country to assist them in eliminating "unknown ninjas" within the country.

In fact, they are unknown ninjas, but Konoha has long known their identities. They are not ninjas from the small ninja village or wave ninjas, but ninjas from the three kingdoms of Rain, Earth and Thunder.

At the same time, Orochimaru disguised his identity and was active among the four countries of Earth, Rain, Taki, and Tian many times, and sabotaged the ninja tool trade between Earth and Rain more than once.

The most tragic incident was when the detonating talisman handed over to the rain ninja by the Iwa ninja detonated for no reason. A warehouse of detonating talismans, throwing ninja tools, armor, soldier food pills, smoke bombs, etc. were burned, and dozens of rain ninjas died.

These are what Tsunade and Jiraiya told Tatsuma when they returned from a mission. Orochimaru's mission this time will never be seen in the light.

As for the roots that were temporarily stripped away, part of them was led by Hatake Sakumo, who carried out beheading operations on important figures in ninja organizations from various countries, and the other part was to resume the old business of this war.

Rooted in the two countries of Earth and Rain, they constantly spread the news about Onoki's various achievements. Because of these remarks and the frequent accidents with the handed over ninja tools, Hanzo and Onoki also started negotiations a few days ago.

As for the outcome of the negotiation, it may not be out yet. After all, after Tsunade finished telling the news, she left the village again to perform a mission.

In fact, both Hanzo and Onoki can definitely see that these two things must be caused by someone, and they should have been locked on Konoha.

After all, the direct beneficiary is the Country of Fire, and Konoha has done this process before.

But without evidence, they can't accuse Konoha, and they may also want to take the opportunity to cause trouble.

For Hanzo, the repeated problems with the ninja tools can be an excuse for him to lower the price. Even more ruthlessly, he requires all the ninja tools with quality problems to be replaced and replaced, and requires the Kingdom of Earth to compensate the Kingdom of Rain for its losses.

For Onoki, his growing fame is more conducive to his further control inside and outside Iwagakure Village. After all, people all over the country and even other countries are pursuing Onoki. How can other ninjas who are dissatisfied with Onoki dare to take the lead at this time?

Ohnoki can take advantage of this turmoil to clean up some die-hard elements in the village. With this public opinion as the foundation, he will be forgiven even if he does some unreasonable things.

On the contrary, Sunagakure Village, which was the most active in the early stages of the war, suddenly became silent. Suna ninja who had originally only retreated to the Kingdom of Wind returned to the village in batches because of the large number of wounded.

Sunagakure Village already seemed to have withdrawn from the war, but the Sandaime Kazekage did not issue a formal declaration, which made Tatsuma a little strange.

Because the daimyo of the Land of Wind has refused funding more than once since Chiyo's defeat. Without financial support, no matter how talented the Sandaime Kazekage is, he cannot continue to support the war.

Now, for Sunagakure Village, the most sensible thing to do is to announce that it will no longer participate in the war, cancel the state of war readiness, show sincerity, and even serve as the leader to call on other countries to cease the war.

If this is done, Sunagakure Village can restore a little bit of its reputation, allowing some small countries to see the pacifist side of Sunagakure Village, and thus continue to entrust Sunagakure Village with tasks.

"Tatsuma Sakamoto, Minato Namikaze! Lord Hokage informs you to go to the Hokage Building."

Just as Tatsuma was quickly reviewing the information of the past few months in his mind, a ninja wearing ANBU costume and mask landed not far from the two of them and said to them.

Seeing the ANBU ninja arriving, the two of them quickly got up, nodded and said, "Yes!"*2

Just after the two agreed, the ANBU ninja disappeared again, but with Tatsuma's chakra perception now, the ANBU's actions were no longer so mysterious.

After thinking about the route that the ANBU would choose when leaving, Tatsuma quickly calculated three more hidden routes, shook his head slightly, and looked at Minato.

Minato was also a little confused at this time. Seeing Tatsuma looking over, he said curiously: "It's understandable that Hokage-sama summoned you, but you don't know why you called me?"

The Ninja Eagle who had just summoned the Jonin had just appeared, proving that a Jonin meeting would be held in the Hokage Building this time. Although the village was not like before and could not summon so many Jonin, it had nothing to do with the Chunin.

Summoning Tatsuma seemed normal to Minato. After all, Tatsuma had already shown that his political talents were not inferior to that of most Jonin.

Many of the village's actions in recent months were based on Tatsuma's previous speculations, and Tatsuma's speculations were confirmed step by step.

But Minato really couldn't think of the need for him to go to the Hokage Building. He could only understand the content of Tatsuma's speculation, but he was still unable to speculate like Tatsuma.

"Don't underestimate yourself."

Tatsuma lightly patted Minato's shoulder and said: "With your talent, it is absolutely no problem to participate in the Jonin meeting. Let's compare and see who reaches the Hokage building faster?"

"it is good!"

Hearing that Tatsuma actually wanted to compete with him in speed again, Minato showed a rare smile that was not so gentle, but very confident.

"start!"

When Tatsuma's words rang out, Minato started to run, but Tatsuma's hand on his shoulder suddenly became stronger, and Minato felt that everything in front of him suddenly became extremely tall.

When he reacted, only his shoulders and head were left above the ground, the rest were buried underground, and Tatsuma had quickly lifted his legs and headed towards the Hokage Building.

"Sakamoto Tatsuma!"

Minato roared, hurriedly breaking free from the ground, and then quickly ran in the direction Tatsuma left. His speed was faster than Tatsuma, and the distance between him and Tatsuma was getting shorter and shorter.

Along the way, Tatsuma kept setting up obstacles, making it impossible for Minato to catch up, let alone overtake Tatsuma.

When the two came to the Hokage Building, Tatsuma's speed suddenly slowed down a little. Minato took the opportunity to surpass Tatsuma and entered the Hokage Building one step ahead.

"Whoo~"

Minato turned his head and looked at Tatsuma with some confusion. After all, with Tatsuma's competitive spirit, he would actually give up victory at the last moment. However, Tatsuma said with a smile: "It's rare to see you looking so impatient!"

Hearing this, Minato realized that Tatsuma was deliberately tricking him so that he could run hard instead of thinking wildly on the road.

After all, with his character, he would definitely think about the reason why the Hokage summoned the Jonin, and the reason why the Hokage specially summoned the two of them, and thinking about it would only increase his distress.

After thinking about it, Minato smiled helplessly. Sometimes it was useless to think so much. Even though the truth was right in front of him, he still habitually struggled on the way to the truth.

His flaw is that he likes to worry about gains and losses, but this character flaw is the most difficult to correct. Especially in the past year or so, because of Tatsuma's excellence, Minato has been using Tatsuma as a benchmark, which has actually worsened his "illness".

"Tatsuma, Minato, please come to the Hokage's office. The meeting will be later."

At this time, a ninja said to the two of them. Tatsuma nodded and led Minato towards the Hokage's office upstairs.

"Damn Mifune! What kind of samurai is he? In my opinion, he is just a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Before entering the Hokage's office, Tatsuma heard an angry voice inside, not from Hiruzen Sarutobi, but from Danzo Shimura.

"Okay, Danzo, we don't have any reason to prevent Mifune from withdrawing troops. If you really have any suggestions, please leave them at a later meeting."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice also sounded, not as violent as Danzo, but also filled with sadness.

Tatsuma and Minato looked at each other. Tatsuma did not immediately knock on the door, but waited for a short while to make sure there was no loud roaring inside before knocking on the office door.

This is a little trick. If you are called to the office by the leader, and before entering the leader's office, you hear laughter coming from inside, you can quickly knock on the door and ask to come in to share the joy.

But if there are sounds of negative emotions such as angry shouting or crying, it is best to wait until the mood of the people in the office has stabilized before knocking on the door and entering.

Even if the leader knows that you are right outside the door, he himself will not refuse a subordinate who is waiting for him to clear up his mood.

"Come in."

The voice of Hiruzen Sarutobi came from inside. At this time, Tatsuma slowly and smoothly opened the door of the office. At this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo inside had already sorted out their emotions and were sitting in their seats.

"Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama."*2

Tatsuma and Minato saluted respectfully, which made both Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo nod with appreciation. With the strength of the two of them, not to mention perception, they could hear with their ears what Tatsuma and Minato were saying. Wait outside to give them time to regain their "decency".

"come over."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and waved to the two of them. When they came closer, he asked in a testing tone:

"Mifune has withdrawn with the Iron Country samurai. What do you think?"

'I stood and watched. ’

An obscure answer came to Tatsuma's mind, but he did not say it. Instead, he looked at Minato. Minato thought for a while and asked, "Did the Kumo ninja break through our Konoha blockade?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen remained calm and looked at Tatsuma, obviously waiting for Tatsuma's answer. Danzo closed his eyes very covertly, and closed them for a long time.

Tatsuma knew the answer, but he also thought about it deliberately, and then said: "Did Hanzo do it himself?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen could still remain calm, but Danzo had already raised the corners of his mouth.
