Chapter 646: Meeting between the Four Ninja Villages
Chapter 646: Meeting between the Four Ninja Villages
"He is at the gate of the village now. He said that Ohnogi has something important to discuss with you."
"Tell him I'm in a meeting, and then take him into the village to find out what's going on."
Although the Third Mizukage was curious about what medicine was sold in Onoki's gourd, he was not prepared to communicate with Iwagakure in person, even if he was not in the meeting.
If Onoki came in person, that would be more of the same.
Kirigakure ANBU nodded and walked out of the conference room.
When the door was closed again, the conference room fell into an eerie silence once again.
Master Yuan simply closed his eyes and rested his mind, looking like an old man with poor energy and spirit.
At his age, he really doesn't want his reputation to be affected by something like this.
The captain of the Jonin class looked like he was thinking, but his mouth was tightly closed, not daring to make a sound.
There is also a gap between the top leaders. As the leader of the jounin class, he is nominally the leader of all jounin in Kirigakure, but he is the last one on the senior list.
In other words, he is the most likely to be pushed out to sign the peace contract and take the blame.
The consultant had a serious face and a straight face. He seemed to be dissatisfied with the current situation, but he did not speak.
Mizukage held his head high and didn't look sideways, with no intention of breaking the calm.
Assistant Mizukage is also at the lower level in the high-level list, but this position is very special and is bound to Mizukage. Generally, as long as Mizukage has no idea, Assistant Mizukage will be fine.
"Mizuyu, tell me what you think." Seeing that no one was speaking, the third Mizukage looked at the leader of the Kirigakure Jonin squad and said.
Shui Yu sighed in his heart, what should come will always come, who gave him the lowest position.
Shui Yu's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking of the most perfect answer.
Talk about peace directly? Impossible, then he must be sent to sign the treaty.
It's not okay to refuse peace talks, it's too easy to offend people.
Who doesn't know that Gotachibana Yagura is the successor that the Third Mizukage values. If he really refuses the peace talks in the end and Gotachibana Yagura is killed by Konoha, he, the person who proposed it first, will definitely be hated by the Third Mizukage. There is no good fruit to eat at this time.
"The military strength displayed by Konoha in this incident cannot be underestimated. We must investigate why Yagura was defeated so quickly and why most of the troops were captured." Mizuyu analyzed with a serious face.
Deny or agree? He chooses or!
The third Mizukage looked slightly dissatisfied, but didn't say much and looked at Assistant Mizukage.
Mizukage's assistant was instantly stressed, but he had to speak.
After all, without Mizukage's support, his position would not be as powerful as Mizuyu's Jonin squad leader.
"The peace talks are a big matter, and there are many things that need to be paid attention to, such as the opinions of the ninjas in the village, Konoha's purpose, and the impact of the peace talks..."
Assistant Mizukage talked a lot, but did not say whether he supported the peace talks or was not optimistic about the peace talks.
There was no way, now he was a little unsure of the Third Mizukage's thoughts.
After experiencing such a defeat, will the Third Mizukage still value Gou Tachibana Yagura as much as before?
The Third Mizukage then looked at the advisor.
Everyone else had said it, but the consultant didn't want to be special and had to follow up with some specious words.
After the consultant finished speaking, the Third Mizukage did not let Master Yuan speak in order, but narrowed his eyes slightly to think.
Thousands of prisoners are really not a small number.
You must know that Kirigakure currently only has seven thousand ninjas in total. If Konoha kills all the prisoners, their total number of ninjas will suddenly be reduced by one-seventh, and the impact will not be too great.
The key point is that this is not a death in battle, but a breakdown in negotiations that leads to an accident, which will make the families of the prisoners emotional.
But the Third Mizukage was a little reluctant to sign the peace treaty.
During his tenure, Kirigakure took the initiative twice and failed. How will future generations evaluate him?
Great ambition but little talent? High-minded but short-handed?
"That's it for today's meeting." The Third Mizukage said while rubbing his brow.
He is now worried about what might happen if he fails to negotiate, but he also doesn't want defeat to affect his posthumous reputation.
After the third Mizukage returned to the Mizukage's office, it didn't take long for the ANBU responsible for communicating with Iwagakure to come to the Mizukage's office.
"Sandaime-sama, this is a secret message from Ōnoki to you. It has been checked and there is no problem." Kirigakure Anbu handed a scroll to the Third Mizukage.
The Third Mizukage nodded and opened the scroll, while the Kirigakure Anbu wisely retreated outside the office door.
At first, the Third Mizukage looked indifferent, but after watching for five minutes, his expression gradually became serious.
"The Wooden Ninja appears again, and Hanyu Mozuki is expected to become the second Ninja God?"
After reading it, the Third Mizukage rolled up the scroll and fell into thinking.
Do Kirigakure and Iwagakure have a grudge? Of course, the second generation of both sides died together on the battlefield.
But that can be regarded as an old grudge. Looking at the entire ninja world, if we look at it hard, the five major ninja villages all have old grudges against each other.
The Third Mizukage believed that the information Ohnoki gave him was most likely true, at least partially true.
Because ninjutsu can't fool anyone, and Mu Yue can't always stay silent. Whether he has Mu Release or not, his strength will be exposed sooner or later.
"Could it be that Yagura's capture was Hanyu Mozuki's handiwork?" A sudden idea flashed in the Third Mizukage's mind.
If Hanyu Mozuki really has a powerful wood escape as Ohnoki said, he may become the second Senju Hashirama if he continues to grow.
Then Gotachibana Yagura's defeat is very reasonable.
The powerful Mudun ninja Hanyu Muzuki led the ninja troops to attack, and it was normal for Goju Yagura to be captured by mistake.
It's not that Kirigakure's troops are weak, it's that Konoha is too strong.
Then the Third Mizukage shook his head, now is not the time to think about this.
"Do you want to agree to Onoki's invitation?" The third Mizukage began to weigh the pros and cons.
Onoki did not directly say that the alliance should work together to deal with Konoha's assassination of Mu Yue, but only invited Kirigakure to send representatives to the Earth Kingdom for a meeting.
The Third Mizukage thought that he could send a reliable Jonin over to test Ohnoki's ideas.
Anyway, the peace talks are not a matter of a day or two. As long as Kirigakure does not make any big moves, there should be no danger to Goju Yagura.
…
The Country of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.
Ohnoki also sent ninjas to Sunagakure Village.
"Isn't this bad old man trying to trick me into falling into the water?" After Luo Sha read the scroll, he subconsciously thought it was false information.
Hanyu Mozuki is recognized by the ninja world as the strongest ninja of Konoha's younger generation, but it is not as exaggerated as the intelligence said.
And if Hanyu Muyue had mastered such a powerful Wood Release, why was it useless on the battlefield before?
Wood Release is very strong, not only offensive and defensive, but also capable of suppressing jinchūriki.
However, after Luo Sha thought about it again, she felt that Ohnoki was not that stupid.
After all, Onoki didn't ask him to directly send troops to Konoha. He just invited him to attend the meeting. It should not be possible to deceive him with such false information at a glance.
Thinking of the recent strange situation in the ninja world, Luo Sha's expression became serious.
"Is it possible that Hanyu Muyue has been hiding and dormant before, and has recently achieved results in Mudun practice and is now showing his strength?"
After thinking about it carefully, Luo Sha found that the information was not false at first glance, but it was just too much beyond what ordinary people thought. Suddenly, a second Wooden ninja appeared and showed the potential to become the second Senju Hashirama.
If it weren't for Iwagakure who delivered the letter, who was considered well-known in the ninja world, Luo Shade would have suspected that someone was pretending to be Iwagakure to cause trouble.
"What's so special about this Wood Release? Are ninjas with Wood Release destined to become as powerful as Senju Hashirama?" Luo Sha couldn't help but think.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.
The strength of a ninja is comprehensive. Generally speaking, it is the level of ninja phantom, amount of chakra, and physical fitness.
It shouldn't be possible to become extremely powerful just by mastering some kind of blood inheritance limit or secret technique.
But Senju Hashirama is strong, and the second Wood Release ninja Hanyu Mugetsu is also strong.
The first one can be said to be a coincidence, but what about the second one?
Luo Sha called his confidants to discuss.
They can go if they feel like it, but whether they want to take action against Konoha or not depends on the situation at that time.
After all, if a second ninja **** emerges in Konoha, it won't have a particularly big impact on Sunagakure.
Because the current Sunagakure is relatively weak among the five great ninja villages, even if there is no Konoha blocking the front, there is still Iwagakure Kumogakure in front of Sunagakure.
"How is Ye Cang's investigation going?" Luo Sha asked, remembering something.
Luo Sha has never forgotten Ye Cang, a ninja who almost affected his position as Kazekage.
"There is no evidence that can lead to Ye Cang being imprisoned." Sunagakure Jōnin shook his head.
"However, I found that Ye Cang seems to be very interested in the ninja sect of the Land of Rain, and he took time to attend Soyousuke's two lectures."
"As the hero of Sunagakure, you don't do your mission well, but you actually go to attend a lecture by the Ninja Force of the Land of Rain. If the village chooses the best ninja learner, I will definitely vote for Yakura."
Hearing his subordinates mocking Ye Cang for not doing his job properly, Luo Sha couldn't help but smile.
"Since she likes to deal with other forces, then send her to Yanyin Village." Luo Sha thought for a while and said.
He found that this was a good opportunity to suppress him. If Iwakaku's affairs failed, he would say that Ye Cang was doing things badly.
If there is something wrong with Iwagakure's affairs, then he will use other reasons to transfer Ye Cang away midway.
…
The land of rain, Ninja sect.
Huangtu led a group of Yangakure into Liudao City.
"It seems there are more people and more ninjas."
After walking into Liudao City, Huang Tu found that Liudao City seemed to be more prosperous.
The flames of war burning in the ninja world did not affect the development of Liudao City, but instead promoted the prosperity of Liudao City to a certain extent.
Huangtu didn't care about this. Even if Iwagakure valued the Ninja sect, it was Soyousuke and the others, not Liudou Castle or the ordinary ninjas of the Ninja sect.
Relying on the cooperative relationship, Huang Tu arrived at Soyousuke's office without any hindrance.
"Soyousuke, Iwagakure needs a favor from the Ninja clan." Huangtu said straight to the point.
Mu Yue nodded and motioned for Huang Tu to continue.
"We have a need to cooperate with Yunyin in the near future. I hope you can convey some of our wishes to Yunyin."
Since Iwagakure and Kumogakure have declared war on each other and have been fighting frequently since the war began, Ohnoki was worried that directly approaching Kumogakure would be counterproductive, so he wanted Ninja to act as a middleman.
Although the Ninja sect has some cooperation with Iwagakure, generally speaking, the ninja sect is a neutral force in public perception.
The first big reason is Soyousuke's unrestricted lectures.
Soyousuke so generously imparts various advanced knowledge to the ninjas of different ninja villages and ninja forces, so he naturally carries a neutral and friendly label.
Then there was the Youth Martial Arts Tournament held previously.
There were many ninjas from the big and small ninja villages participating in the Youth Budokai, but under the management of the Ninja Sect, there were no violent incidents and all participating ninjas were treated equally.
Soyousuke is famous and powerful, and the ninja sect is also a well-known neutral force. He is the most suitable middleman in the current ninja world.
"I need to know some specific content before I can make a judgment." Mu Yue said after drinking a cup of tea.
He couldn't help others without knowing anything, otherwise he would have to help others pay after being sold.
"The main content is some information about Hanyu Mozuki and Konoha's ambitions." Huang Tu explained.
Before Huang Tu came, Ohnoki had already considered this and asked Huang Tu to tell the information directly.
First of all, please ask Ninja to do something, it is impossible to let the other party not understand.
Secondly, Ohnoki felt that Soyousuke had no reason not to agree.
After Soyousuke killed Shimura Danzo, he naturally stood on the opposite side of Konoha. If he had the opportunity to step on Konoha, he would of course follow him.
This is not an in-depth cooperation. Iwagakure will not station ninja troops in the Land of Rain, which will not be harmful to the Ninja Sect at all.
On the contrary, if a second ninja **** appears in Konoha, will the Ninja Sect have a good life?
I'm afraid that if the war isn't over, the Ninja clan will have to be dealt with.
"Sorry, I refuse." Mu Yue replied with a slight smile.
What an international joke, asking his shadow clone to help others deal with the real body.
He has no intention of playing undercover games.
"But judging from this information, the main body may have dealt with Madara Uchiha, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a big fuss." Mu Yueying's clone thought.
He is the shadow clone that Mu Yue separated from before he solved Uchiha Madara, so he does not have the original memory of this period of time.
"In this way, the Ninja clan will have less scruples and can be more relaxed."
Huang Tu was stunned. This was different from what he predicted before coming. How could Soyousuke refuse so simply?
"The Ninja Sect has no intention of participating in the game of the five major ninja villages, whether it is against Konoha or other major ninja villages." Mu Yue explained.
Mu Yue's words completely blocked the road, leaving Huang Tu and the think tank next to him speechless.
"So Yousuke is too naive." Huang Tu complained in his heart.
Although he is always said to be upright, he feels that Soyousuke is more idealistic than him.
Is this because you don't want to participate? You are in the ninja world and you want to avoid the influence of the five major ninja villages?
However, Soyousuke's attitude was tough, and Huangtu and the others had nothing to do.
In the end, Iwagakure bit the bullet and sent an envoy to make a truce with Kumogakure, and by the way gave Muyue's information to Kumogakure.
Probably because Kumogakure and Konoha were fighting fiercely and didn't want to conflict with Iwagakure, things went surprisingly smoothly.
Finally, Kumogakure also agreed to attend the meeting held by Iwagakure in Earth Country.
After the agreed date, each ninja village sent ninjas to the Kingdom of Earth as promised.
