Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

The tall village gate of Konoha Village is already in sight. .

Sarutobi Shinnosuke stopped and said, "I'm going to the Hokage to hand over the task. If you guys have nothing to do, go back first. After staying in the Kingdom of Water for such a long time, go home and have a good rest. This shouldn't happen again in the short term. The high-level tasks are entrusted to you."

After saying something to Hinata Asuka and others, Sarutobi Shinnosuke turned to look at Bai Mingyu and Itachi:

"Baiyu, Itachi, Shisui, the three of you came here with me. What happened in Kirigakure Village... I don't understand some of the details, so it would be better for you to explain it clearly."

"it is good."

Bai Mingyu and Itachi looked at each other, and Zhisui on the other side nodded. The impact of losing an eye on him had obviously not been eliminated. After returning from the long journey from the Kingdom of Water, Zhisui's expression looked a little haggard.

Several people formed their own seals, used the teleportation technique, and quickly moved forward on the roof of Konoha, and soon arrived in front of the Hokage Building.

Because Sarutobi Shinnosuke was leading the way, the process of reporting to the Hokage was eliminated.

Bai Mingyu followed Sarutobi Shinnosuke all the way to the Hokage's office.

When he pushed the door open, Bai Mingyu narrowed his eyes slightly.

There are already several people in the office.

In addition to the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, two members of the advisory team, Mito Kaden and Koharu Kaden, were also there. Apparently they came here in advance to wait after learning about the ANBU's return to the village. Together with the Kirigakure Village The alliance is of great importance, and Konoha does not dare to neglect it. It is natural for the two advisers to appear here.

but……

The appearance of another person made Bai Mingyu somewhat uncomfortable.

Danzo Shimura.

This old man in gray robes was sitting on the chair next to Sandai, holding the crutch with both hands, as if the old god was there.

This guy……

Why do you have the face to appear here? !

Bai Mingyu had a trace of murderous intention in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it. No matter how unhappy he was with Danzo, he could not attack Danzo here. In that case, not only the Third Hokage would intervene to stop him, but also the ANBU hidden around this office. And the root ninja will not sit idly by. Once the snake is alerted, it will become extremely difficult to create an opportunity to kill Danzo.

and……

Without knowing where Danzo placed Shisui's eye, it would not be a wise move to act rashly.

Itachi and Shisui also didn't say much.

Although it has been basically determined that the people who attacked Shisui and Yugao were root ninjas sent by Danzo, they have no direct evidence. Moreover, compared to each other, Shisui and Itachi can only be regarded as the juniors whom the third generation appreciates more, while Danzo is the Hokage assistant beside the third generation. Even if he tells the story of the attack in person, the third generation will not be able to do much to Danzo for this. Severe penalties.

On the contrary, it may intensify the conflict between the top management of Konoha and the Uchiha clan to some extent.

From this point of view, Shisui and Itachi have indeed inherited the will of fire of the first generation. Even if they make self-sacrifice, they do not want Konoha to fall into war again.

Danzo probably knew Shisui's temperament very well, so he dared to appear here again with a shameful face, without the slightest worry that what he had done would be exposed.

On the contrary, the third generation noticed the bandage wrapped around Shisui's eyes, and said with some surprise: "Shisui, what happened to your eyes, are you injured?"

"..."

Shisui took a slight breath and said: "I was injured a little while fighting the ninjas of Kirigakure Village in the Kingdom of Water. It's no longer serious now... Thank you, Hokage-sama, for your concern."

The third generation frowned, but he did not doubt him: "Really? Then you should take a good rest for a while after this trip. For such a serious injury, it is better to rest for a while. The ANBU tasks can be temporarily handed over to others. Do it. You are Konoha's elite ninja and there is no room for error."

"Yes."

Shisui nodded in agreement.

The Third Hokage held the pipe and took a strong puff, exhaled a puff of smoke, and then turned to look at his son and said: "Shinnosuke, what is the situation in Kirigakure Village? The information you mentioned before through the Ninja Eagle It’s a bit vague, so let’s talk about it in detail. We are all fine with what happened in the Blood Mist.”

ten minutes later.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke roughly told what happened in the Kingdom of Water. The part about Kirigakure Village was supplemented by Bai Mingyu and Itachi, which roughly restored the whole story of this trip.

Then, Sarutobi Shinnosuke placed the alliance document on the desk in front of the Third Generation: "This is the alliance document drawn up personally by the Fourth Mizukage-sama. I have roughly checked the terms in it, and there are basically no problems. Please invite the Third Generation Sir and a few A consultant reviewed it."

The third generation quickly read through it and passed the scroll to Danzo and the two advisors beside him. The several old people looked at each other. Mito Kadoyan raised his hand in front of his mouth and coughed, and said: "In general, it's reasonable. It’s just that some details still need to be discussed a little bit, but I think we can agree to this alliance.”

"Well, in the past two years, the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Thunder have been making moves on the border, and forming allies with the Kingdom of Water is very helpful for the stability of the situation in Konoha and the Kingdom of Fire."

Sandai nodded and was about to continue speaking,

Danzo next to him suddenly said: "There is no problem in forming an alliance, but I don't think this contract is reasonable."

"?"

Several eyes looked at each other, and Danzo said in a low voice: "The Kingdom of Water has been in constant civil strife in recent years, and its strength has been greatly reduced. This alliance is because they want us, Konoha. Once Konoha refuses, Kirigakure will The situation of the village will get worse, so no matter what demands we make, they must agree.”

"Danzo, what do you mean..."

"here."

Danzo slowly turned around, pointed at the map of the ninja world hanging on the wall, and said: "A group of small island countries, mainly the Kingdom of Waves, are located within the influence of the Kingdom of Water. Although these countries are not large in area, However, the geographical location is extremely advantageous, with land and sea routes extending in all directions. If they can be controlled, it will be of great economic and military significance to Konoha. Therefore,

If Kirigakure really wants to form an alliance with Konoha, it must show enough sincerity to withdraw all the troops they deployed in these countries and let us, the Fire Nation, take over. Otherwise, the alliance can end here. . "

"..."

There was silence in the office.

Not only Bai Mingyu and Itachi, but even the third generation and two advisors did not expect that Danzo would say such amazing words and actually want to take this opportunity to swallow up countries such as the Country of Waves. Although these small countries have poor resources, But it is a strategically important place. As long as you control them, you can use it as a springboard to directly threaten the water country in a strip of water.

It is absolutely impossible for Kirigakure Village to agree to such a request!
