Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky
Chapter 198 Meeting the Hokage
As the most hardline hawk among Konoha's high-ranking officials, what Danzo actually wanted to go to the most was the front lines of the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind where the real fighting took place, rather than the border of the Land of Lightning which was in a state of defense and alert.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen has known Danzo Shimura for decades, so he naturally understands his character and thoughts very well. If Danzo is put in charge of the fronts in the Rain Country and the Wind Country, the war will inevitably expand and become more intense.
This was very different from Sarutobi Hiruzen's conservative strategy, so he sent Danzo to the border of the Land of Lightning, and sent Jiraiya and his three teachers and his trusted students such as Hatake Sakumo as commanders on the front line to ensure that his will could be realized normally.
But Danzo is not a ninja who is content with loneliness. As the person in charge of the Root of Konoha, I suspect that the previous conflict between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Iron was pushed by Danzo behind the scenes so that he could fish in troubled waters.
But the sudden ceasefire on the front battlefields of the Rain Country and the Wind Country obviously disrupted Danzo's plan. If Sarutobi Hiruzen's attention was diverted from the Rain Country and the Wind Country, he would definitely interfere with Danzo's actions in the Lightning Country.
Moreover, when the ninja world as a whole is tending towards peace, the Land of Lightning itself will not brazenly declare war on the Land of Iron. It can be said that Danzo's plan has basically no basis for success.
Besides, although the war is basically over, the post-war agreements and treaties have not yet been signed. Danzo naturally wants to gain greater benefits for Konoha and at the same time gain greater political capital for himself.
So after getting accurate intelligence, Danzo no longer paid attention to the Iron Country samurai's investigation of the Cloud Ninja in Sakura Castle. After we returned, he didn't even say goodbye to Mifune in person. He just sent a Root ninja to deliver a letter, and then took us out of Sakura Castle and set off on the journey back to Konoha.
The distance from the Land of Iron to Konoha was not too far for a ninja, and Danzo was obviously anxious to return to Konoha to participate in various post-war affairs, so we drove at full speed and returned to Konoha in less than half a day.
"I have something important to do, you guys go report to Hiruzen." As soon as we returned to Konoha, Danzo separated from us and went to the Root to find out what specific information the Root had collected and mastered during the time he was away.
"Yes, Lord Danzo." Minato and I were only ordered to assist Danzo, and we were not Danzo's own. After the mission was completed, we naturally had to report to Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Returning to Konoha again, the atmosphere was different from before due to the ceasefire on the front line. Although there were not as many pedestrians on the street as before the war, the seriousness and worry on their faces were gone. The whole Konoha would slowly become prosperous again.
When Minato and I arrived at the Hokage Building and asked the Anbu ninja to report, Sarutobi Hiruzen happened to be free, so we successfully met Sarutobi Hiruzen in the office.
"I have already seen the intelligence about the Land of Lightning. Generally speaking, it has no impact on our Konoha. Do you two have anything to add?" As for the intelligence about the Land of Lightning, Danzo had naturally already passed back the relevant information through the Anbu and Root ninjas.
Although I don't know what role Danzo played in the conflict between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Iron, and I don't know whether Sarutobi Hiruzen is aware of what Danzo has done, Minato and I don't have any evidence, so naturally we won't say much.
"The Land of Lightning sent a number of Cloud Ninjas to infiltrate the Land of Iron's capital, Sakura Castle. Among them was even the son of the current Raikage. The two of us, following the orders of Lord Danzo, had a battle with the Raikage's son, Ai." There was basically nothing major happening during this trip to the Land of Iron, and the battle with Ai was one of them.
"Oh? He should not be much older than you. How strong is he?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with interest. In his opinion, the young generation of Konoha's ninjas is currently headed by Jiraiya and his three companions, as well as Hatake Sakumo, who is known as the White Fang of Konoha.
Among the young generation of Konoha, Minato and Shinichi are the best among them. Even in Konoha, which has countless bloodline limits and family inherited secret techniques, they are still the most outstanding.
As for the young strong man of the Cloud Ninja, Ai, the son of the Raikage and the right-hand man of the Raikage who has been passed down from generation to generation, he can be said to be the representative of the Land of Lightning based on his title.
"Aihebi has a very high talent and ability in the Kumo Ninja Taijutsu. Although I am not at a disadvantage with the Flying Thunder God Technique, I have no way to deal with these two people with extremely strong physical defense."
Although Minato is usually sunny and gentle, he is also a person who is very confident in his own strength. Apart from me and Shinichi, he has not encountered any rivals among the same generation. This fight with Ai was indeed very impressive for Minato.
"Indeed, although it was not a life-and-death fight, judging from the fierce battle, the Kumo Ninja's physical skills, which combined strength, speed, and defense, can be said to be a perfect and difficult opponent. I can only have a certain advantage in strength and speed after activating the Eight Gates Ninjutsu."
Ai and Killer Bee are indeed the best among the young generation of ninjas in the ninja world. They are also the few ninjas I met in this Ninja World War who can bring me pressure.
