Ninja World: I'm not a man anymore!

Hokage Building, outside the office.

"Hokage-sama, Kumogakure's envoy has arrived." Kakashi knocked on the door of the office and reported.

"Please come in." A young man's voice came from inside the door.

Hearing this, Kakashi opened the door and stepped aside.

Kisame strode inside.

As soon as he entered the office, he saw Minato Namikaze wearing a Hokage robe and a Hokage hat, sitting upright opposite the desk with a solemn expression.

Behind Namikaze Minato were two ANBU ninjas wearing masks. One was tall and strong, the other short and thin. Kisame could tell at a glance that they were Jiraiya and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In addition, three members of Konoha's elders - Uchiha Fugaku, Hinata Hizashi and Nara Shikaku - were also present.

Kisame's eyes swept across everyone, and finally landed on Fugaku. He greeted him with a smile, looking familiar.

Seeing this scene, everyone else was a little surprised for a while. Hinata Hizashi next to Fugaku asked curiously: "Do you know this Kumogakure messenger?"

"I met him once before." Fugaku spoke vaguely, his expression a bit unnatural.

Namikaze Minato was thoughtful, then he withdrew his gaze, looked at Kisame again, and said in a deep voice: "The envoy of Kumogakure has come from afar, and I welcome you on behalf of all the villagers of Konoha."

"Yellow Flash's name is like thunder. Today I finally met him in person. He is younger and more handsome than I thought. I heard that Hokage has been on the battlefield all his life and is invincible. When the enemy hears the name of Yellow Flash, they will surrender or run away. For such a heroic ninja, no wonder he became Hokage at such a young age."

Kisame came up with a lot of compliments.

"Excellent. In fact, I'm not that powerful. I can't be considered invincible. I have occasionally encountered some failures."

In the face of praise, Namikaze Minato behaved very modestly.

However, what he didn't expect was that Kisame immediately answered:

"Oh, I know this. Lord Hokage once suffered a humiliating defeat. During the Third Ninja War, he was beaten so hard by Kisame Kisaki in Kirigakure Village that he had to leave five thousand people behind. The Ye compatriots escaped. The Yellow Flash, which once had an invincible reputation, fell from the altar from that time on, am I right?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the office became weird.

This Yunyin messenger is too good at talking, right?

"..."

When Namikaze Minato heard this, his expression froze.The guy came up to give him a hard blow about his feelings in order to suppress his desires first, and belittling him was the real purpose of the other party.

It's a pity that although the other party's words are unpleasant, they are all facts.

Namikaze Minato was not offended.

He looked at Kisame calmly and responded in a calm tone: "You have a good memory and reminded me to remember my past failures. I am very grateful. For me, Kisaki Kisame He is a formidable opponent, but unfortunately, as you just said, no one can never fail. Even if he is as strong as Inigaki Kisame, he suffered the biggest defeat in his life in the Five Shadows Tournament, and even lost his life. I witnessed him with my own eyes. I still regret the death.”

He first admitted his failure, then remembered his opponent, and hinted in his words that a temporary failure is nothing, and the one who survives to the end is the winner.

Hearing Minato's words, Jiraiya and Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at each other and felt very relieved.

As Hokage, Minato showed his magnanimity and magnanimity, and did not lose his composure in the face of the verbal trap set by the other party.

"Hahaha."

When Kisame heard this, he couldn't help laughing.Namikaze Minato regards him as a powerful opponent, but in Kisame's eyes, Minato has never been qualified to be his opponent. The other party's words are just to feel good about himself and to put gold in his face.

"Messenger Yunyin, what are you laughing at?"

Jiraiya couldn't stand it anymore and asked with a frown.

"It's nothing. After hearing what Hokage said, I just remembered something worth laughing about."

Kisame shrugged, then took out a scroll and threw it directly towards Namikaze Minato, "Okay, the greetings are over, it's time to get down to business. Inside is the peace treaty drawn up by Takemikami Raijin-sama, please take a look."

Snapped.

Minato reached out and grabbed the scroll, put it on the desk with his eyes focused, and slowly unfolded it.

Before opening the scroll, Minato thought that the God of Thunder would be aggressive and write a lot of rude and excessive demands in the treaty.

After all, Yunying Village has always been warlike and very greedy towards others.

And just three days ago, Kumogakure was suspected of forming an alliance with Kirigakure. If the Thunder God and Tsunade join forces to launch a war, not to mention Konoha, even the entire ninja world will probably be captured by them.

Under such circumstances, if Konoha wants to maintain peace, it must pay a huge price.

Namikaze Minato and all Konoha senior officials were also mentally prepared in advance. As long as the other party's request did not touch Konoha's bottom line, they could negotiate.

However, what surprised Minato was that when he saw the contents of the scroll, he realized that he had misunderstood Cloud Shadow Village and Jianyu Thunder God.

The terms in the scroll are very simple. There are only a few. The basic meaning is that Kumogakure and Konoha promise not to invade each other, and then they can freely conduct commerce and trade on this basis, and regularly send ninjas for military exchanges, such as jointly holding Chunin exams. .

Gone.

For Konoha, who is on the weaker side, this is great news.

Namikaze Minato came to his senses and handed the scroll to Fugaku and others, asking them to read it one by one.After reading it, everyone except Fugaku, who was worried, showed expressions of surprise.

"The God of Thunder has a kind heart and has no intention of starting any kind of war, let alone seeing a large number of innocent casualties of ninjas and civilians. For Kumogakure and Konoha, peace is always the most important thing, what do you think, Lord Hokage?"

Kisame asked, looking at Namikaze Minato with burning eyes.

Although he calls himself a villain, Kisame has never initiated a war. He always fights back in self-defense.On the contrary, it was Konoha. Both the Third and Fourth Ninja War came to Kirigakure's doorstep. They were out-and-out invaders.

Perhaps, Kisame is a peace-loving person at heart.

Namikaze Minato looked solemn, stood up from his seat, and said to Kisame:

"Please express my gratitude to Lord Takemi Raijin on my behalf. Konoha cherishes the opportunity for peace very much. I, Namikaze Minato, promise that as long as I am still in the position of Hokage, I will never launch a war against Kumogakure Village.

"Okay, as Hokage-sama says, I can do the job when I get back." Kisame laughed.

The signing of the peace treaty went smoothly beyond imagination.

It took less than an hour for Namikaze Minato and Kisame to reach a consensus on the specific details of the treaty, and there were no longer any questions or objections.

Next, Namikaze Minato wrote his name on the treaty, and Kisame also took out the Raikage's seal and stamped it on the treaty.

This is done.

However, there is one last thing left.

Namikaze Minato glanced at Uchiha Fugaku next to him, and saw that the latter was silent and looked nervous, so after thinking about it for a while, he asked Kisame:

"Excuse me, did your village detain a ninja named Uchiha Itachi a few days ago? To be honest, Uchiha Itachi and his companions followed my orders and went to Kumogakure to perform investigation work. I am proud of my decision , as well as the reckless behavior of Uchiha Itachi and others, I apologize to Takemi Raijin and Cloud Shadow Village. I hope that your village can release Uchiha Itachi, and if necessary, Konoha is willing to pay a certain ransom."

Minato did not forget that Fugaku's son Uchiha Itachi was still in the hands of Cloud Shadow Village. The reason why he had not mentioned it just now was because he did not want this matter to affect the signing of the peace treaty.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, Minato tried to redeem Uchiha Itachi after his heart dropped.

"Oh? Didn't Chief Fugaku tell you, Hokage-sama?"

When Kisame heard this, he had a surprised expression on his face, pointed at Uchiha Fugaku and said, "Last night, the Fugaku clan leader visited me at the hotel and welcomed me in the unique way of the Uchiha clan. I also followed the instructions of Tatemi Lord Raijin ordered us to return the son of Chief Fugaku to him, right?"

"Is there such a thing?"

Minato was startled, then frowned and asked Uchiha Fugaku.

If what the Kumogakure messenger said was true, then Fugaku had private contact with the other party in advance without telling him, the Hokage, and other high-level officials of Konoha.

Moreover, Minato could hear the dissatisfaction in Kisame's words. "The Uchiha clan's unique way of welcoming", even if you think about it with your toes, you know that it is not a pleasant way of welcoming people.

Fugaku undoubtedly made a huge mistake.

Under Namikaze Minato's gaze, Fugaku's eyes became gloomy and his face became increasingly ugly.He did not answer immediately, but subconsciously glanced at Kisame, who had a half-smiling expression on his face, but deep in his eyes there was a threat that only Fugaku could understand.

At this moment, Fugaku realized that if he told the truth, Itachi might never come back to him.

Therefore, after a fierce inner struggle, Fugaku knelt down on one knee in front of Namikaze Minato with a plop, lowered his head and apologized to the latter:

"Lord Hokage, I did have contact with the Kumogakure messenger without your permission. I am willing to accept all punishment."

"Fugaku, you should know your identity very well. You let me down so much."

Namikaze Minato shook his head, his eyes cold.

However, he did not punish Fugaku immediately. Instead, he looked at Kisame with an apologetic look and asked the latter's opinion, "Messenger Kumogakure, did Uchiha Fugaku threaten you verbally or physically? Please Don’t be afraid, speak out boldly, I will definitely charge him with a serious crime and give you a satisfactory answer.”

"Forget it."

Kisame waved his hand and responded magnanimously, "Clan Chief Fugaku was also eager to save his son, and he acted impulsively, which is completely understandable. I hope Lord Hokage will not punish Chief Fugaku, otherwise I will Sorry."

Hearing this, Namikaze Minato was in awe of Kisame.

His first impression of the Kumogakure envoy was not good. He felt that he was a fierce and violent person with an arrogant and mean personality. However, after actually getting in touch with him, he found that he was actually very talkative. He not only loved peace, but was also generous.

Sure enough, people can't be judged by their appearance.

Thinking of this, Minato said calmly to Fugaku who was kneeling on the ground: "For the sake of Kumogakure's speaking for you, I will let you go this time and will not hold you responsible anymore. Get up and go back to take care of you. Son, please stay home and reflect."

"Yes."

Fugaku stood up, bowed to Namikaze Minato, then walked quickly past Kisame with his head lowered, and walked out of the office.

"Do you want to let him go? I propose that Uchiha Fugaku be revoked as an elder, otherwise he will do even more lawless things sooner or later."

Hinata Hiashi, who was watching the whole show, frowned and expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Elder Rizu, we will discuss this matter later."

Minato glanced at Hiashi and told the latter to shut up with his eyes.Envoy Yunyin is still here, don't you think it's embarrassing to fight in front of others?

Then, Minato glanced at the clock on the wall, smiled and invited Kisame:

"It's getting late. If Messenger Kumogakure is willing, you might as well have lunch with me to celebrate the signing of the peace treaty."

"Of course. I've long heard that Konoha has a lot of delicious food. It's hard to come here this time, but you have to eat to your heart's content."

Kisame readily agreed, after all, who doesn’t like having a meal?

So, Namikaze Minato, accompanied by the two elders Hinata Hizashi and Nara Shikaku, went to the banquet hall with Kisame to have lunch.

A meal, the guest and host enjoy.

At the dining table, Kisame burped, patted his bulging belly, and said to Namikaze Minato:

"I plan to leave early tomorrow morning to return to Kumogakure and return to Lord Takemikan Raijin. Therefore, this afternoon and evening, I want to walk around the bustling Konoha Village. I hope Lord Hokage can send me a tour guide. I can’t thank you enough.”

As he spoke, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally looked at Hinata Hizu standing aside.

"It's natural."

When Namikaze Minato heard this, he first thought of Jiraiya.

Not only was Jiraiya powerful enough to protect the Kumogakure messengers, but he was also proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, and he used to often hang out in sensual places.If he is the tour guide, the other party will definitely be very satisfied.

However, Hinata Hinashi's eyes flashed and he offered himself before Minato could speak:

"Hokage-sama, let me do it. Messenger Kumogakure and I will hit it off as soon as we see each other, and I will definitely entertain him warmly and make him feel at home."

After a series of previous observations and the conversation at the dinner table just now, Hinata Hizashi has become acutely aware that the Kumogakure envoy in front of him is definitely closely related to Jianyu Thundergod, and his status in Yunying Village is probably quite high. .

A real big shot.

If we can take this opportunity to build a good relationship with the other party, it will definitely be a good thing for the Hyuga clan.

"This……"

When Minato heard this, he looked at Kisame hesitantly, asking for the latter's opinion with his eyes.

"Oh, I'm really flattered. Then I'll trouble the Hinata clan leader." Kisame smiled meaningfully.

So the matter was settled.
