Naruto: I can take people to the future ninja world

"Report, the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, requests a meeting!"

The voice of the Anbu ninja reporting was heard outside the door.

"The Tsuchikage is here again?" Minato frowned slightly.

This old man has been bothering him every day recently, trying his best to reach a cooperation and get information about Jigen's abilities.

He almost fell to his knees before Minato.

"gentlemen?"

Minato turned to look at Xia You, as if asking a question.

"As you please, he can't see me."

Xia You waved his hand and instantly activated the ninjutsu [Dustless Misty Seal], completely hiding his body and chakra aura, as if he had completely disappeared in the room.

After being amplified by the chakra of the sacred tree, the effect of any ninjutsu in Xia You's hands can be multiplied, which is even greater than the amplification of ninjutsu by the sage body.

What's more, [Dustless Misty] is a first-class concealment ninjutsu, the kind that even Ohnoki cannot detect.

Seeing that Mr. was perfectly hidden, Minato felt relieved.

Notify the Anbu to meet with Oonoki.

soon.

Ohnoki entered the Hokage's office again.

Xia You took a look.

It was less than a month, but Ohnoki seemed to have aged a lot. His eyes were sunken and dull, with gray and black wrinkles all around them. He even looked a little more haggard than he did during the IV War.

Not everyone can bear the loss of a child in old age.

It was Ohnoki who inherited the will of stone! Not only did he not give up, he even determinedly attempted revenge.

If it were anyone else, faced with such a terrifyingly powerful enemy, they would have given up long ago.

"Hokage-sama, what do you think of my last proposal?"

"If you are willing to provide information about Jixian's abilities, I can offer you another 200 million in reward as a thank you!"

Oonoki went straight to the point as soon as he came up, and it was obvious that he had talked to Minato many times.

Even willing to offer 200 million!

That’s two hundred million!

You can even buy 6 Asumas or 4 Jinchuriki.

This was all the funds he could mobilize. If there was more, the Hidden Rock Village could provide it, but other high-ranking officials and the Land of Earth would definitely not agree.

I'm even afraid that they might oppose the Tsuchikage alone and bring such a powerful enemy upon the entire village.

"Your Excellency the Tsuchikage, you know this is not just about money."

“Money can buy a lot of intelligence, but a lot of important intelligence cannot be measured by money.”

Minato explained gently, his face serious.

"But this isn't classified information! It won't threaten your village! I just want information about the enemy and want to avenge my son!"

"Mr. Tsuchikage, I understand your anger, but the factors involved are very complicated..."

"What's so complicated? I give you money, you give me information, it's that simple!"

"Mr. Tsuchikage, you..."

"Namikaze Minato! Didn't your teacher, the famous Konoha Sannin Jiraiya, also die at the hands of that bastard? Don't you want revenge?"

"miss you!"

"Then why don't you agree? Why don't you cooperate?"

Ohnoki became more and more agitated. He didn't understand how Minato could endure it?

Isn’t this guy the most loyal?

Cooperating with the Iwagakure Village to fight against Jigen is a good thing that can both make money and get revenge, so why would you hesitate?

"Hey……"

"Tell me the truth. Mr. Tsuchikage, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with you, but I just can't trust you completely..."

Minato sighed and revealed the real reason for his hesitation.

"do not trust me?"

"Fourth Hokage! I know that during the Third Ninja World War, there was a huge conflict between our two villages, and both suffered heavy casualties!"

"But can't you let it go for now? Didn't you say that Jigen is an enemy from outside the ninja world?"

"To deal with such an enemy, can't we join forces first?"

"My son is dead, what else do you not trust?!"

"Yondaime, do you really want me to kneel down and kowtow to you?"

Ōnoki roared, very angry.

It felt like Minato was still asking for a higher price, so he wanted to blackmail him again.

But he clearly misunderstood Minato.

"Mr. Tsuchikage, you can represent yourself, but can you represent the entire Iwagakure Village?"

"What do you mean?"

"It means literally that the entire Iwagakure Village doesn't know that you intend to take revenge on Jigen, right?"

"This……"

"No need to hide it. From what I know, the other members of the Iwagakure delegation just think you are here to take back your Jinchūriki, right?"

"I……"

"This is what I am concerned about. Your position and interests are not consistent with those of the entire Iwagakure Village."

"I can accept your cooperation, but I cannot guarantee that the Iwagakure Village behind you will do its utmost in this matter. To put it bluntly, they are likely to leak information, thus affecting the outcome of the final battle."

"You should be well aware of how powerful Jixian is. Any small mistake could lead to our annihilation!"

Minato was very rational. Although he also wanted to use Ōnoki's power, he did not blindly join forces with him.

It doesn’t matter even if information about Jigen’s identity is leaked.

However, Jigen's abilities and fighting style will largely determine what battle strategy Minato will adopt, and this cannot be leaked at will.

In order to bring Ohnoki into the joint combat team, a lot of intelligence and combat plans would have to be shared.

As the Tsuchikage Ōnoki, he must be responsible for the Iwagakure Village.

Let’s not discuss whether someone will leak the information along the way.

But what if Jigen becomes too strong by then, and even threatens the safety of the Iwagakure Village? Can it be guaranteed that Ōnoki will continue to fight Jigen to the death?

When facing a powerful enemy of the Six Paths level, if you are not careful, your whole team will be wiped out!

What's more, Kushina is also going to join the battle, and Minato will never allow any loopholes to exist!

...

Faced with Minato's questioning, Ōnoki was indeed speechless.

He did hide the truth from the entire Iwagakure Village and did not tell the truth.

There's nothing we can do about it!

The enemy is too strong. It is said that he is a powerful enemy comparable to the Goddess of the Rabbit and the Sage of Six Paths.

If this were to be made public, the custody of the Iwagakure Village would be in chaos!

At that time, not to mention being hostile to them, it might even give rise to a large number of people who defect to the enemy!

Ōnoki's prestige in the Iwagakure Village is indeed not low, but it is not strong enough to become a legend!

After all, there are real records of gods and immortals in the ninja world.

Even someone as powerful as Madara initially believed in the existence of gods and ancestors, let alone other ordinary ninjas?

You have to incite them to fight against the six-path-level god-like enemies.

I'm afraid it would be as ridiculous as inciting all Christians to fight against their own God!

It's even crazier than inciting the descendants of Yan and Huang to fight against Nuwa!

Let alone Iwagakure Village.

Even within Konoha Village, Minato did not dare to announce the news of Otsutsuki and Jigen on a large scale, otherwise it would definitely cause quite a stir.

"I, I can promise to keep the news secret and not let anyone else know!"

Ohnoki had a gloomy face, but he still wanted to fight for it as much as he could.

"You can't guarantee that. As the Tsuchikage, your every move will be watched by the whole village. It's hard to guarantee that information will not be leaked."

"Besides, you cooperated with Konoha Village privately and paid a large sum of money. Without a reasonable reason, you will inevitably be suspected and questioned by the Iwagakure Village."

"I don't want you to be distracted by mediating the internal affairs of the Hidden Rock Village at this critical moment of encircling Jigen."

"That will only further affect our chances of winning on the battlefield. It's better to refuse it from the beginning."

"Tsuchikage-sama, do you understand?"

Minato said it bluntly.

Ōnoki and Dust Release may indeed help in the battle against Jigen, but rather than adding an unstable factor, it is better to eliminate it from the beginning.

"Ah I……"

Oonokimen was as dead as ash, so he really couldn't give any complete guarantees.

But he couldn't let go of the hatred in his heart, so he pleaded:

"You really can't let me participate? Not even a chance? I can give everything!"

"There is a way."

"you say!"

"You should resign as the Tsuchikage on your own initiative. Pass the position of Tsuchikage to another person. Then I will allow you to join the secret operation to encircle Jigen in your personal capacity!"

"ah?!!"
