Konoha: Namikaze Minato, Saved Kushina

After Orochimaru and Jiraiya defeated Sand Shinobi led by Third Kazekage, they did not pursue the victory according to the order of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In fact, Orochimaru wanted to take advantage of the victory to chase after him, but he would not completely obey Sarutobi Hiruzen's orders.

Orochimaru's character doesn't seem like an obedient person.

But Orochimaru's plan to pursue Sand Shinobi was stopped by Jiraiya~.

"You really listen to the teacher."

Looking at Jiraiya, Orochimaru- a little upset.

Orochimaru is not a good stubble, if Jiraiya hadn't blocked him, and even ordered Konoha Shinobi not to pursue, how could he easily let the fleeing Sand Shinobi go.

Cruel and cold-blooded is Orochimaru's character.

In front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, he will not refute Sarutobi Hiruzen's orders, but he has his own ideas about how to do things.

This is different from Jiraiya.

Don't look at Jiraiya doesn't respect Sarutobi Hiruzen on the surface, but he obeys Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

"The old man didn't want an all-out war with Sunagakure, so he just wanted to stop.

Facing Orochimaru's taunt, Jiraiya said something.

There was a sneer on Orochimaru's face.

"Your kindness and softness may not be accepted by others."

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya like he was looking at an idiot.

Can mercy be exchanged for peace? If they don't take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill Sand Shinobi, won't Sand Shinobi continue to attack the Land of Fire?

"After all these years, you still haven't made any progress. You're so naive."

Watching Jiraiya leave, Orochimaru shook his head.

There is indeed some friendship between him and Jiraiya, but this friendship has gradually faded over time.

In other words, Jiraiya has not changed, but Orochimaru has changed.

On the other side, Third Kazekage, who was hunted out of the Fire Nation, had an ugly expression on his face.

"Have the Konoha Shinobi come after you?"

Third Kazekage asked.

At this time, he was a little embarrassed, and his clothes were a little torn.

Tangtang, the strongest Kazekage, has been deflated twice in a row. Before that, he faced a mysterious person pretending to be Uchiha Madara.

This time facing Orochimaru and Jiraiya in Konoha Sannin, was defeated again.

In fact, it is not a shame to be defeated by Orochimaru and Jiraiya. No matter in terms of age or strength, Orochimaru and Jiraiya are no worse than Third Kazekage.

This also shows the gap between Konoha Village and Sunagakure.

Third Kazekage may be considered the strongest in Sunagakure, but in Konoha Village, there are quite a few players who are not weaker than him.

"Report Kazekage-sama, Konoha Shinobi did not come after him."

"Hmph, you must be afraid of me."

Third Kazekage snorted coldly.

It's purely putting gold on his face. If Jiraiya didn't stop Orochimaru, I'm afraid Orochimaru is still chasing him now.

"Go and inform Advisor Chiyo, let her and Luo Sha lead Sand Shinobi to come to support."

Although his mouth is still stubborn, in the actual cognition of Third Kazekage, he still knows that he is not the opponent of Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

So Third Kazekage wants to let Chiyo lead Sand Shinobi to continue to reinforce, this time he has to bite off a piece of meat from the country.

"Reporting to Lord Third Kazekage, Konoha Shinobi has sent a letter saying that he wants to negotiate peacefully with us."

Listening to the report of Sand Shinobi's subordinates, Third Kazekage showed a sneer.

"Peace talks?"

What he wants is not peace talks, although Third Kazekage also knows that he can't destroy Konoha Village, but he also wants to bite a piece of meat from the Fire Nation.

Sunagakure is becoming more and more difficult. It takes a lot of money to train ninjas. The Kingdom of Wind is not rich, and the funds for Sunagakure are getting less and less.

Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, Third Kazekage has realized this truth.

"Tell the Konoha Shinobi people, just say I can think about it and let them give me some time."

A cold light flashed in Third Kazekage's eyes.

It will take time to wait for the support to arrive, just to confuse the Konoha Shinobi, hold them back, and wait for Chiyo to lead the support to arrive.

"Yes, Kazekage-sama."

After Sand Shinobi wrote back to Konoha Village as Third Kazekage said, Jiraiya laughed.

"It seems that Third Kazekage is quite sensible and knows that he can't beat us Konoha Village.

"madness."

Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya.

"You don't really believe what he says, do you?"

For Third Kazekage, because believe it or not.

"He's a majestic Kazekage, can't he go back on what he says? Orochimaru, you're hitting me on purpose, right?" Jiraiya glared at Orochimaru in displeasure.

"Back then and then? Did Third Kazekage promise you anything?"

Orochimaru's cold words made Jiraiya speechless.

Third Kazekage just sent someone to say that they would consider peaceful negotiations, but did not promise that they would definitely negotiate peacefully.

"What if he just paralyzes us and sends Sand Shinobi in to help?"

It has to be said that Orochimaru is sane.

In his opinion, Third Kazekage is most likely waiting for support, just to paralyze them, so he deliberately spread the word that he wants to negotiate peacefully.

"Then what do you suggest?"

Jiraiya frowned, in case Orochimaru was right.

He is not a fool either, it is impossible to say that he completely believes in Third Kazekage.

"My suggestion is to take the initiative and kill Third Kazekage."

A cold gleam flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.

Blood Successor Boundary Magnet Style, this is a good research material.

Orochimaru is very interested in ninjas with blood succession boundaries, especially now that Orochimaru is doing research on Wood Style.

"No." Jiraiya refused without hesitation.

Although not entirely convinced by Third Kazekage, he is also opposed to Orochimaru's suggestion.

There is still the possibility of peace talks if you don't do anything.

Jiraiya, who personally participated in the Second Ninja World War, actually didn't want to see the war break out, the war was too cruel.

"I knew you would say no."

Orochimaru sneered.

"Report this matter to Teacher Sarutobi and wait for his decision."

It was reported that no matter what the outcome was, it was not Orochimaru's fault, it was his teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen who made the decision.

Jiraiya nodded in agreement.

Report to Sarutobi Hiruzen, let the old man decide, he agrees.

"I'll let Minato go."

Namikaze Minato was also brought over by Jiraiya. Although the battle with Sand Shinobi was dangerous, it was also a test for Namikaze Minato.

Only after going through honing can we go further in the future.

And Namikaze Minato has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, so there will be no danger on the battlefield.

With the Flying Thunder God Technique, you can also rush back to Konoha Village to report the situation as quickly as possible.

"Your disciple is not bad."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the disciple accepted by Jiraiya learned the Flying Thunder God Technique of Second Hokage.

Hearing Orochimaru's words, the corners of Jiraiya's mouth curled up slightly.

Once, he was overwhelmed by Orochimaru everywhere, Orochimaru and Tsunade were geniuses, and he belonged to the tail of the crane among Sannin.

But in terms of disciples, I definitely beat Orochimaru.

All the disciples that Orochimaru led before died, but his disciples learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, and the future is limitless.

"Envy me, why don't you accept a disciple and compare with me."

Jiraiya showed a smug face.

"boring."

Orochimaru turned and left, unless he was assigned to lead the Jōnin, he would never take another son.

He has many secrets, but he doesn't want others to know.

"Admit it Orochimaru, you just can't beat me at this."

Jiraiya called out to Orochimaru, but Orochimaru didn't look back.

Konoha Village, within the Uchiha clan.

Lingye, who has nothing to do, is teaching Sarah to practice ninjutsu.

Sara, the future queen of Loulan Kingdom, still has some talents in cultivation.

Before Mikoto taught her the Chakra refining technique, it didn't take long for Sara to successfully extract Chakra.

Moreover, there is still a lot of Chakra in her body, not at all like a person who has just been exposed to Chakra refining technique for a short time.

"Is she of our Uzumaki blood?"

Kushina quietly asked Lingye.

Chakra is far beyond normal, and has bright red hair. These features make Kushina somewhat suspect that Sarah may have the blood of the Uzumaki family.

"She should have nothing to do with your Uzumaki clan."

Sara is a character in the theatrical version, and as the blood of the Queen's family passed down from generation to generation in the ancient Loulan Kingdom, it should have nothing to do with the Uzumaki family.

"It doesn't matter, since she is so similar to our Uzumaki family, then I will treat her as a member of the Uzumaki family."

Kushina walked towards Sara, who had learned the basic ninjutsu of the Three Body Technique.

"Sara, you might as well be called Uzumaki Sara from now on."

"Ah?" Sara was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook her head: "No, it's so ugly.

"It's ugly? Damn, is the surname of our Uzumaki family ugly?"

The wind swept Kushina's body, and her hair was blown by Chakra's burst of breath.

"Help me, brother Lingye, sister Mikoto, save me quickly, Kushina is going to kill me."

Sara yelled and ran towards Lingye and Mikoto.

"Kushina, don't scare Sara a child." Mikoto said to Kushina.

"I won't bully her a little devil."

Kushina glanced at Sarah, who was still young, and said that she was not as knowledgeable as her.

Sara, who was hiding behind Mikoto, made a face at Kushina.

Seeing Sarah's provocation, Kushina said that his fist was hard.

"Master Patriarch."

Uchiha month came to the practice site of the Uchiha clan.

"Anything to report?" Lingye glanced at Uchiha Yue.

"Uchiha Iron Tree asked me to report to you that Third Kazekage has been driven out of the Land of Fire."

"Well, in my anticipation."

Lingye was not surprised to hear this information.

He is very aware of the strength of Third Kazekage. When he took Kushina to Sunagakure to sign last time, he tested the strength of Third Kazekage.

Even against one of Orochimaru or Jiraiya, Third Kazekage will be under pressure, let alone facing Orochimaru and Jiraiya teamed up.

"I didn't expect to be repelled so quickly."

…… Ask for flowers………

Mikoto was rather surprised.

It's only been three days since Orochimaru and Jiraiya were sent out, and there was still time to travel.

In less than three days, there was news that Third Kazekage was repelled, which is too fake.

"Third Kazekage's strength is not very good. Among the shadows of the five ninja villages, his strength should be at the bottom."

Lingye said to Mikoto.

He is qualified to say that Third Kazekage's strength is not very good, if he wants, he can kill him in one move.

Among the Third Generation shadows of the major ninja villages, Third Kazekage is indeed at the bottom.

Third Hokage, Third Raikage and Third Tsuchikage are not weak, Third Mizukage is unknown

But definitely not strong enough.

He competed with Third Kazekage for first and second last.

"Can I beat Third Kazekage?"

Kushina couldn't help asking.

After Lingye looked at Kushina for a long time, he said: "Third Kazekage is a bit weaker in my opinion, but that is in my eyes. For you [the main Kazekage is still a very powerful enemy."

Even after learning Sage Mode, Kushina is not the opponent of Third Kazekage, after all, it is the shadow of a village, and food is only relative.

In Lingye's eyes, he is a rookie, but to those Jōnins, he is completely invincible.

"That is to say, I'm weak in your eyes too?" Kushina stared at Lingye with wide eyes.

Lingye didn't speak, but just patted Kushina's shoulder, knowing some words without saying anything.

Kushina was not discouraged, Lingye was already terrifyingly strong.

"Then who is better, me or Mikoto?" Kushina's eyes were competitive.

It's true that she and Mikoto are girlfriends, but in Kushina's eyes, they are also competitors.

......0

"How do I know this, I tried Mikoto, but you and I haven't tried."

"Why don't you know, don't you know my strength?" Kushina looked at Lingye dissatisfied.

"I don't understand, if you don't come to me at night to discuss it, I might be able to know your strength."

"I'm a rigorous person, and I don't judge if I haven't tried it.

Lingye looked at Kushina with a smirk.

"Discuss at night?"

Kushina, who didn't understand at first, instantly understood, and her face instantly turned as red as her hair.

"you you."

Kushina glared at Lingye in embarrassment, and then used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.

"What happened to Kushina?"

Sarah couldn't help but ask.

"Children had better not inquire." Lingye rubbed Sarah's head.

"Let Uchiha Iron Tree send people to continue to observe the situation of the war.

Lingye turned her head and gave Uchiha Yue an order.

"Yes, Lord Patriarch."

In Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not too close to Namikaze Minato who came back to send information.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has always suspected that Lingye had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, which was leaked to Uchiha Lingye by Namikaze Minato.

Even though Jiraiya helped Namikaze Minato defend, Sarutobi Hiruzen's suspicion of Namikaze Minato has never been eliminated.

"Thank you Minato."

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally does not show dissatisfaction with Namikaze Minato on the surface, which is Sarutobi Hiruzen's castle.

After reading the information sent back by Namikaze Minato, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes froze.

"Orochimaru's speculation should be right, maybe Third Kazekage is stalling for time to wait for reinforcements."

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen wants peace talks and does not want Konoha Village and Sunagakure to start an all-out war, Sarutobi Hiruzen is definitely not stupid.

Of course he will not fully believe what Third Kazekage said about the consideration and talks.

"Minato, you go back and tell your teacher, I will send Konoha Shinobi to reinforce him."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Namikaze Minato.

"Yes, Yinze.

Namikaze Minato, who didn't know that Sarutobi Hiruzen had doubts about him, respected Sarutobi Hiruzen the Hokage.

What I have learned since I was a child is how great the Third Hokage is, and of course I will respect Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This is also the brilliance of Sarutobi Hiruzen. He had already completed the initial brainwashing when he was in the ninja school.

"Go ahead."

After letting Namikaze Minato leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression slowly changed.

In Konoha Village recently, there have been many unfavorable rumors about him in the village. For example, this time Sunagakure attacked the Land of Fire, Sand Shinobi's slander was based on the rumors in the village, and the blame was completely pinned on him.

Most of the villagers in Konoha Village now believe that Sunagakure is the culprit who caused Sunagakure to attack the Nation of Fire, and that he should be responsible for it.

This matter spread more and more widely, and there were many voices of dissatisfaction with him in the village, thinking that he should not have sent people to rob and kill Sunagakure's envoys.

If he did this, then Sarutobi Hiruzen would not admit it, but the most important thing is that he did not do it.

"Who the hell is driving it? Uchiha Lingye? Or Danzo?"

There must be someone behind this, and now Sarutobi Hiruzen has two suspects.

A Uchiha Lingye, a Danzo, both are highly probable and suspicious.

It's even possible that both of them have fueled the fire. .
