He lives in Hokage and controls the ninja world by cultivating immortality.

After synthesizing the information from Shisui and Namikaze Minato, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep drag on his cigarette and fell into deep thought.

The reason why Li Ke won the duel with Namikaze Minato was because of tricks.In a head-to-head confrontation, even ten Li Ke would not be enough to defeat Namikaze Minato.

The reason why Duanshuiqiao was able to stab Zhishui was also due to a lot of luck. If Zhisui, who struck first, could slightly raise the edge of the knife a few centimeters and kill him with one blow, Li Ke would probably be dead.

Both games seem to have a lot of luck involved, but luck is also a part of strength, isn't it?

What's more, they are facing two genius ninjas from Konoha, which also shows that Li Ke will also be a great genius in the future.

It took a long time for Sarutobi Hiruzen to calm down.

One thing needs to be acknowledged, genius is not something unique to him in Konoha.

If it rains and the mother gets married, at least Konoha can't stop Li Ke's rise. All Sarutobi Hiruzen can do is, as the shadow of a village, try to ensure the prosperity and stability of his village.

After thinking about all this, Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer struggled, took a document from the desk and handed it to Namikaze Minato's hand.

"Minato, look at the credentials sent by Kumogakure."

Namikaze Minato took the document and opened it, then closed it after a long while, "Sandaime-sama, it is certainly a good thing that Kumogakure can release my captives of Konoha, but the conditions they set..."

Namikaze Minato was a little pondered when he said this. There is no such thing as a free lunch. The conditions offered by Kumogakure are not too excessive, but Namikaze Minato also has to consider Konoha and whether doing so is in the interest of the village.

However, at this moment, a deep shout interrupted Minato Namikaze's thoughts.

thread.

"Absolutely not!"

A man slowly walked out of the office cubicle, and the shadows on his body gradually dissipated, revealing his true face.

He is tall and thin, with a thick bandage on his left eye and left hand, a cross-shaped scar on his chin, and a somewhat gloomy temperament.

There is only one person in Konoha who can freely enter and leave the Hokage's office and sit quietly in a cubicle to listen to politics.

A contemporary of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura is currently an advisor to Konoha and is also the leader of the Roots.

After Danzo came out, he glanced at Namikaze Minato and fixed his gaze on the certificate of credence sent by Kumogakure.

Even though he didn't see it with his own eyes, as the root leader, he already knew the content above.

"Hiruzhan, you can never agree to Kumogakure like this. If you agree this time, our previous battle in Konoha will be in vain!"

The Third Shinobi World War started with many countries in Konoha.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen sent by the Kingdom of Water were repelled by Metkai's father, Metday.

The Battle of Platycodon Mountain completely defeated the Kingdom of Wind. The Kingdom of Wind has surrendered and is currently preparing for peace talks with Konoha.

The biggest battle with Iwagakure was the Kannabi Bridge. However, Namikaze Minato cut off the Kannabi Bridge, making Iwagakure's logistics unable to keep up, so the war between Iwagakure and Konoha was also at a disadvantage.

Even if they don't surrender to Konoha, they probably can only hold on with one breath.

Only the war with Kumogakure lasted for a long time. The frontline troops on both sides fought very hard and countless ninjas died. If Minato Namikaze hadn't gone to the frontline to fight Ai, the battle in the two villages would have almost turned into a fierce battle. status.

If he accepts Kumogakure's conditions now, it will undoubtedly be a sign of easing relations.

If this trend continues, even Kumogakure and Konoha will hold peace talks.

Then the previous casualties paid by Konoha were all in vain, which Danzo Shimura firmly disagreed with.

Looking at Tomura Danzo's determined look, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed helplessly.

For his long-time friend, he naturally understood that Danzo was also for Konoha.But this is also what troubles him the most, because Danzo's approach is too radical.

He took out the list given by Kumogakure and put it on the table. The prisoners captured by Kumogakure included the Inuzuka clan, the Aburame clan, and the Sarutobi clan.

In short, all major ninja clans in Konoha basically have prisoners.

"You are forcing them to die. Have you ever thought about how to explain to their families?"

Everyone has his own master on the battlefield. If a family member unfortunately dies in battle, it is inevitable.

But now Yunyin has clearly given the children of these families a hope of life, and the demands are not too excessive.

If under such circumstances they still sternly refuse and indirectly force these Konoha ninja children to death, then how will their families feel?

Furthermore, Sarutobi Hiruzen has more things to consider as Hokage.

Political games are all about balance. If Konoha can really defeat Kumogakure, perhaps radicals like Danzo will be useful.

It's just that the reason why the Five Great Ninja Villages are called the Five Great Ninja Villages represents the strongest strength. If Konoha continues to fight with Kumogakure, it will certainly cause casualties to Kumogakure, but his casualties to Konoha will also increase sharply, right?

When Shimura Danzo heard this, he glanced sideways at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hiruzen! None of the ninjas who died on the battlefield were for me, Konoha, to be advantageous and strong. You agreed to Kumogakure's conditions so easily. Their deaths will become meaningless. You are so An indecisive character will regret it sooner or later!"

Listening to Shimura Danzo's unsparing words, Namikaze Minato next to him couldn't help but frown.

As he grows older, Namikaze Minato is no longer the ignorant noob he used to be. There is light and darkness in Konoha, and he can see these things.

But these words of Danzo clearly did not take into account the life and death of the captured ninjas, and he wanted to continue to expand the war on his own.

Is this really what all Konoha ninjas want to see?

But before Namikaze Minato could speak, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in his seat and replied.

"Being aggressive or giving in is not the answer, but as Hokage, you should be able to do both, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words seemed very plain, but they made Shimura Danzo's remaining right eye widen slightly.

The calm demeanor that he had cultivated from being in a high position for many years also had some fluctuations at this moment.

"Hiruzen! You!"

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but these words of Sarutobi Hiruzen reminded Danzo of the scene when he broke out with his teacher, the Second Hokage.

It was because of his hesitation that he missed the position of Hokage.

At that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed extremely brave and without hesitation.

Is Sarutobi Hiruzen's words a satire that Danzo only knows how to be radical?

Therefore, as soon as this sentence was said, Danzo's reaction was to slowly sit down in his seat and finally said something.

"I will never agree to take the initiative to negotiate peace with Yunyin!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the pipe in his hand.

"In that case, Danzo, it's up to you to take back the prisoners this time."

The multi-link game between the two has formed a tacit cooperation. Whenever this pattern is formed, it means that Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision has taken effect.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen also vaguely agreed to one thing in his words.

This time, they will only return the prisoners and will not negotiate peace with Kumogakure.
