Konoha's Wooden Reappearance

At around eight o'clock in the evening, somewhere in Konoha Village was a guest room specially used to accommodate foreign guests.

"How about it"

Ishihara sat at the table with a serious look on his face, without the kindness he had when he faced the Konoha ninjas that day.

"Master Ishihara, there are at least five teams of Konoha ANBU around here. They have surrounded this place. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to sneak out from here without being monitored by those ANBU."

A cloud ninja who seemed to be a sentient ninja said to Ishihara who was sitting at attention.

"I understand. Konoha's surveillance of us is already expected. You should have a good rest tonight. We will be negotiating with the people of Konoha starting tomorrow."

The next day, the Konohagakure Ninja Village sent a team headed by Advisor Mito Monobu to negotiate with the Kumo Ninja Mission.

The negotiations at the beginning were naturally full of talk, wars of words, and all kinds of wrangling. They were at the level of testing each other. No one could expect to complete the task easily.

But these have nothing to do with Mizama. After the previous escort mission was completed, Kakashi's team was allowed to have a few days of rest.

At this time, Mizama had time to calm down and sum up his gains and losses in the previous battles.

Deep in a certain forest in Konoha, as usual, he uses his clone to sense his surroundings to prevent Bai Zetsu or others from spying on him.

Mizama's main body first laid out countless dangerous traps around him. According to common sense, once activated, it would be impossible for the ninja in the trap to avoid it.

"Armor of Thunder Escape"

In the middle of the trap, Mizama's whole body was wrapped in a large amount of Thunder Chakra, and his beard and hair stood on end. The surrounding air was pushed outward layer by layer by the violent Chakra on the surface of the body, so that a large wind was formed outward. pressure.

Then, Mizama quickly threw a kunai to cut off the filament on the side, triggering the surrounding traps.

Mizama's eyes kept observing the coming attacks, and at the same time, his body also made corresponding dodge movements, and finally safely avoided all attacks.

“Traps of this magnitude could not be avoided so easily before.

When the "Thunder Escape Armor" is used, the lightning that bursts out of the body can increase the conduction speed of nerves, thus improving one's physical reaction speed and consciousness in battle.

Now that I have combined the "Thunder Escape Armor" with the "Flying Thunder God Technique", the improvement in my speed is still obvious.

Although it is not as fast as Namikaze Minato's Flying Thunder God, he still has a lot of room for growth and will surpass him sooner or later.

Previously, I had used the combination of these two moves to kill Cao Ying in a short time.

Now, with my strength structure, there will be no problem of insufficient chakra when using ordinary wood escape ninjutsu.

Judging from the previous two uses of large-scale wood release ninjutsu, the current amount of chakra is not enough to support the casual use of large-scale wood release ninjutsu.

Although he can barely use it, if he can't kill his opponent quickly before the chakra is exhausted, then he will fall into the embarrassing situation of running out of chakra. The degree of danger can be imagined.

From this point of view, the only ones that can really be used in long-term battles are "Thunder Escape Armor" and "Flying Thunder God Technique".

Regardless, with these two ninjutsus, even if you encounter a ninja you can't defeat, you can always escape if you want.

Next, if you want to increase your speed again, you can only find ways to increase the strength of your body so that you can withstand more Thunder Chakra. "

Minama felt that if he had not developed the "Thunder Armor" ninjutsu at the beginning, his reaction speed might not be that bad now, and he would not be able to use the "Flying Thunder God Jutsu" in battle so easily. .

From this point of view, compared with the Fourth Hokage, he is overtaking in a corner.

After finishing the day's practice, Minama returned home and had dinner. After finishing the housework, he separated into clones and continued to either learn sealing techniques or curse sealing techniques as before.

The main body took out the information of the previous four people.

After it was time to go to bed, I went to bed, thinking that the night would be uneventful, but unexpectedly something big happened.

At 03:30 in the morning, Minama was suddenly awakened because someone touched the barrier around the house.

He quickly stood up, took the horizontal knife, leaned against the window, looked out at the situation with squinting eyes, and started to sense at the same time.

"Mizama, there is an urgent mission and you need to be on duty immediately."

It turned out that the person who appeared in the yard was Kakashi, and there was some urgency in his tone.

Minama quickly got dressed, walked out of the house, and saw Kakashi waiting in the yard.

"Kakashi, what happened? Why did you come here suddenly so late?"

"You change your clothes first, and we'll set off immediately. We'll talk as we walk."

After saying that, he threw the ANBU uniform in his hand to Minama.

After returning to the house, they changed their clothes, packed their equipment, put on their masks, and appeared next to Kakashi. The two of them immediately rushed to the inn where the Cloud Ninja Mission was located.

While on the way, Kakashi also briefly explained the emergency that happened not long ago.

"The peace talks of the Kumo ninja were about to sneak into the Hyuga clan's territory with the intention of abducting Hinata Hinata, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan. They were discovered and killed by the head of the clan, Hyuga Hinata.

Now the village has assigned our team to take over the surveillance work of Kumo Ninja. "

"How could such a thing happen? What do the ANBU around the Kumo-nin envoy do? There are just a few people who can't keep an eye on them.

And why does the head of the Hyuga clan kill him as soon as he comes up, without even looking at who is coming?"

Minazama was really a little speechless. It was reasonable for Hinata and Hizu to kill the sneaking enemies.

With so many ANBU staring at a few people, and one of them slipping away under their noses, when did the strength of the ANBU directly under the Hokage decline to this.

That's right. Back then, three Kumo Ninja Village ninjas could have kidnapped Uzumaki Kushina as a jinchuriki by sneaking into Konoha. If Minato Namikaze hadn't been a heroic rescuer in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Could it be that those three Kumo ninjas were very powerful? Minato Namikaze, who had just become a genin at that time, defeated them with only Taijutsu.

It seems that the level of Konoha ANBU has always been so bad, so we really can't be too harsh on them.

"The ANBU over there have been put under control. We'll just go over and take over from them. I've also informed Ibiki and Hiro.

It was very dark at the time, and the infiltrator was well disguised. The Hyuga clan leader had no idea that he was the peace envoy of the Kumo ninja. "

After listening to what Kakashi said, Minama also felt a little puzzled.

"The Hyuga clan is undefended at night, and any cat or dog can break in.

He kidnapped the heir of the clan so easily and still has the nerve to claim to be the most wealthy family in Konoha."

We arrived at our destination soon. Looking at the dejected ANBU around him, Minama could no longer complain.

The remaining members of the Kumo Ninja envoy seemed very excited and were arguing loudly with the Konoha ninjas around them. They were probably accusing the Konoha ninjas of killing the envoys for no reason and provoking the Kumo Ninja Village.

Later, Mito Monohan came here and returned Ishihara's body. He didn't know what he said, and temporarily comforted the remaining members of the Kumo Ninja Mission.

The Kaka team and some newly transferred ANBU took over the surveillance mission.

"The expressions on the faces of these cloud ninjas and the expressions in their eyes don't seem to be fake. Are they really unaware?

Or is it that the Fourth Raikage just gave the mission to that one person in private?"

Shuijian was in the dark, watching the scenes in front of him, and began to speculate in his heart.

In the early morning of the next day, the murder of members of the Kumo ninja mission had already caused a stir among the Konoha ninja community, and there were various opinions.

The scope of activities of the remaining Kumo Ninja missions was also temporarily restricted to the inn, but this did not prevent them from communicating with the Kumo Ninja Village.

After all, they also need to report the "emergency" that occurred to the Fourth Raikage.

Two days later, they received a reply from the Fourth Raikage of Cloud Ninja Village. With the former deputy envoy as the principal envoy, they could continue negotiations with conditions.

Subsequently, the Cloud Ninja Mission formally lodged a strong protest to Konoha Village and expressed the only prerequisite for continued negotiations.

That means the murderer must be handed over, that is, Hyuga Hichizu, the head of the Hyuga clan.Otherwise, there will be an immediate war between the Kumo ninja and the Leaf Village.

Konoha Village, meeting room.

The four major advisors gathered here to discuss how to resolve the crisis with Yun Ninja Village.

"The purpose of the Cloud Ninja Village this time is very obvious. It is to snatch the Byakugan of the Hyuga family under the guise of signing a peace agreement. Now that the secret robbery is no longer possible, we will instead steal it openly."

Mito Menen is mainly responsible for the diplomacy between Konoha Village and other Ninja Villages. He directly pointed out the intentions of Kumo Ninja Village as soon as he sat down.

"Men Yan, now we all understand the intention of Yun Ninja Village. The key is how to deal with this matter next."

"In the face of the provocation of Yun Ninja Village, we should give them a head-on attack. Do you continue to plan to be a coward? When did the village become so weak?"

After hearing the words of the two colleagues and close friends beside him, Danzo felt very uncomfortable.

"Duanzo, you can't say that. What you said don't we understand how we don't want to fight back in the face of such humiliation.

However, the village has experienced two turmoils in succession, the Third Ninja War and the Nine-Tails Rebellion. In addition, the recent turmoil in the Grass Ninja Village has caused the Iwa Ninja Village and the Sand Ninja to move on the border.

Even within the village, the relationship between Uchiha and the village is already so tense. If they really want to fight, can they be expected?

They have not yet been cleared of suspicion as the culprits of the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Even other families may not be willing to fight this war for the Hyuga family.

In such a crisis-ridden situation, the village really has no ability to fight a ninja war that may require facing the siege of the other three ninja villages at the same time.

Now I'm afraid I can only feel sorry for the Hyuga family before making any plans. "

Koharu, who moved to bed, was responsible for Konoha's finances, and he also knew the internal situation of the village very well. He directly told the current situation and blocked Danzo's mouth.

"But the Hyuga family can agree."

"How dare they disagree? For the sake of the village, shouldn't a Hyuga family head be sacrificed?

Besides, the strength of the Hyuga family has expanded a lot in the past few years. If they are not dealt with properly, they may sooner or later become a hidden danger like the Uchiha. "

Danzo said angrily after hearing Mito Kadoyan's words.

"Sarutobi, you are talking. Why are you silent? What are you thinking?"

When Koharu went to bed, he noticed that the Third Hokage had been silent from the beginning, only smoking a cigarette with a solemn expression on his face, so he asked aloud.

"I'm wondering how the ancestors would have dealt with it if they encountered this situation. I'm afraid they would rather die than sacrifice any ninja in the village in exchange for peace."

"Sarutobi, don't say that. We have no choice but to sacrifice Hizu for the sake of the village. I think he can understand."

“No one knows the current situation of the village better than me, and I understand that you all think about the village.

I will discuss this matter with Rizu. It seems that I still cannot be a competent Hokage after all. "

"Sarutobi, we are doing this for the village too."

"Okay, let's prepare to hold a high-level meeting. On such a major matter, we need to listen to the opinions of other people."

"Then you still need to inform the Hyuga clan."

"Rizu's words are inappropriate. Let them send a respected elder over."

After saying that, the Third Hokage stood up and left the conference room, his back looking indescribably lonely.
