Konoha's entry is ninja!

Although it was late at night, the Hokage's office was still bright.

During this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was always stationed here.

It happened that Namikaze Minato was in the village, so the information transmitted through the messenger toad reached Sarutobi Hiruzen very quickly.

Although no more information has come yet, the news that the Iwa ninja has sent troops is enough for Sarutobi Hiruzen to take it seriously.

He first issued an order to send an ANBU team to the border of Grass Country to alert the border defense forces, and to the Grass Ninja Village to alert the Grass Ninja to be alert to the Iwa Ninja's surprise attack.

Although the Kusanagi Village has been dealing with other major ninja villages, and has recently had an unusual relationship with the Iwa Ninja, Sarutobi Hiruzen believes that there is absolutely no way the Kusanagi will allow the Iwa Ninjas to invade.

Because at that time, the Grass Ninja Village will cease to exist, and this is the core interest of the Grass Ninja Village.

This is completely different from the River Kingdom. Because the River Kingdom lost the Rain Ninja Village, there is no Ninja Village at all.

Therefore, even with the reminders of Shuichi Hoshita and Orochimaru before, Hiruzen Sarutobi still believed that even if the Iwa Ninja sent troops, it would not be easy to cross the Land of Grass, so there was still time to mobilize troops.

This was also the reason why he had dared to mobilize troops to Platycodon Mountain several times before.

This is based on interest considerations!

After issuing orders one by one, Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked a cigarette, but his thoughts flew to the Land of Rain.

In addition to the Country of Grass, the Country of Rain is also a point of concern for him.

Fortunately Danzo was there.

With roots, it is not easy for the Iwa Ninja Village to raid the border of the Fire Country through the Rain Country.

Soon Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of Kumo Ninja again.

Once the Iwa Ninja goes into battle, Konoha's military strength will be severely reduced, and Kumo Ninja will definitely not be able to bear it.

After getting up and coming to the map, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around and finally landed on the location of Mount Kikyo.

"Sand Ninja..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were focused.

He was worried that the Kumo ninja would not wait until the victor in the Battle of Kikyo Mountain before taking action. It would be very dangerous at that time.

And Hoshita Shuichi... thought about it for a long time, sighed, and Sarutobi Hiruzen still didn't decide to recall.

Once Shuichi Hoshita leaves, the Suna Ninja will reinforce him, and the Battle of Mount Kikyo will immediately change.

"Shinnosuke, Minato hasn't left yet, has he?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke appeared immediately: "Yes, Minato is worried that Shuichi will send information."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed: "Thank you for their hard work."

"Ask Minato to send a message to Shuichi and ask him to propose peace talks with Suna Ninja on my behalf. I will send a special mission to Sunagakure Village."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was shocked: "At this time...according to Shuichi's previous information, there is a reason why Iwa Ninja went to battle so quickly."

"The Sand Ninja may offer unacceptable conditions at this time."

"We only need to support it for a while longer. After the victory in the Battle of Platycodon Mountain, we can immediately reinforce the Country of Grass."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head: "But this would be a huge loss."

"There are also cloud ninjas, their movements will be even faster."

"Faced with attacks from four ninja villages at the same time... go ahead!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke sighed secretly. Although he didn't agree with such a strategy, he understood his father's painstaking efforts, so he nodded and left.

After finding Namikaze Minato, Sarutobi Shinnosuke carefully explained Sarutobi Hiruzen's orders and considerations. Namikaze Minato solemnly nodded: "I will immediately ask Mt. Myoboku to notify Shuichi. With Shuichi's acumen, it shouldn't be difficult. Do this."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid Shuichi will not do what the Third Hokage wants."

Namikaze Minato was startled for a moment, then comforted him: "Don't worry, Shuichi will be sensible about such an important matter."

"Then I'll go."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded and watched Namikaze Minato leave.

Namikaze Minato came to a remote place but immediately summoned Gamabunta and asked him to bring information to Hoshita Shuichi.

Gamabunta nodded and released the channeling. After returning to Mt. Myoboku, he immediately used the counter-channeling technique.

Outside Sand Hidden Village, Hoshixia Xiu suddenly disappeared from the spot with a bang.

When he reappeared, it was Mt. Miaomu, whose scenery was completely different from that of the ninja world.

This was the first time Hoshita Shuichi came to Mt. Myoboku. He glanced around and looked at the huge toad Bunta in front of him: "Bunta, it seems that Minato-sensei has news."

Gamabunta nodded: "According to Minato's words, the Third Hokage has instructed you to propose peace talks with the Fourth Kazekage."

Hoshita Shuichi heard this and smiled and said, "I understand, why don't you summon Minato-sensei here too?"

"Um...this is okay."

Gamabunta closed his forelimbs and used the counter-spiritual technique, and Minato Namikaze suddenly appeared next to Hoshita Shuichi.

"Shuichi!"

Namikaze Minato turned around, looked at Hoshita Shuichi with a smile, and then stretched out his hand to gesture: "You have grown a lot taller!"

Hoshita Shuichi smiled happily and said, "Minato-sensei, we haven't seen each other for almost half a year."

"yes."

Namikaze Minato nodded with emotion: "Thank you for your hard work."

"So, you already know the order of the Third Hokage, right?"

Hoshita Hide nodded and restrained his smile: "Actually, after I got the news of the Iwa Ninja's dispatch, I went to see the Fourth Kazekage, and used the Kingdom of Birds to lure the Fourth Kazekage to send troops north and form an alliance with Konoha."

Namikaze Minato was shocked when he heard this: "This... Iwa Ninja and Suna Ninja must have reached an agreement secretly, right?"

Hoshita Shuichi said with a playful smile: "Minato-sensei, don't forget that in the eyes of most Suna ninjas, the disappearance or death of the Third Kazekage is related to the Four-Tails Jinchuuriki."

"Secondly, Iwa Ninja took the initiative to attack the Kingdom of Wind."

"Furthermore, Yakura, the Burnt Releaser who was regarded as a hero by Sand Hidden Village, died in the hands of Iwa Ninja."

"Of course, these are not the most important. The most important thing is that the victory of the Bird Country is the result of the Fourth Kazekage, and the River Country is the credit of the Third Kazekage."

"And under the current circumstances, the Suna Ninja will definitely lose in the Battle of Mount Kikyo, regardless of whether the Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja send troops."

"For the sake of the companions of the village, and for revenge against the Iwa Ninja, the Fourth Kazekage's prestige will be further enhanced. If the interests of the Bird Country are taken, then most of the Suna Ninja will forget the Third Kazekage, and the Fourth Kazekage will Considered the strongest Kazekage in history."

Minato Namikaze frowned in thought, then nodded after a moment and said: "Shuichi, your analysis is very reasonable, but..."

Looking at his outstanding disciple solemnly, Namikaze Minato solemnly said: "If we talk about peace talks, the Suna Ninja will definitely put forward conditions, and Ichibi will definitely be among them."

"Shuichi, you should know what happens after the tailed beast is extracted."

Hoshita nodded and said with a smile, "Minato-sensei, of course I know it very well."

"The One-Tail can be returned to the Sand Ninja, but not now."

"We have to wait until after the war, um... set three years, and we will keep it for Suna Ninja for three years."

Namikaze Minato was confused: "Shuichi, you..."

Hoshita Shuichi explained: "Minato-sensei, you also know that my master's wife and I were studying the ghoul sealing technique that can seal the soul."

"Later, I practiced the art of spiritualization, which allows me to transform my spirit into a spiritual body and carry chakra into the enemy's body to attack."

"I studied the Vajra Sealing Technique of the Uzumaki Clan, and then created my own Fire Nether Lock sealing technique. But in fact, my original purpose was to develop a sealing technique that can seal the soul."

"Seal the soul..."

Namikaze Minato's expression changed slightly: "Shuichi, do you... want to divide the tailed beast?"

Gamabunta, who had been listening to the audience, showed a look of shock. He looked down at Hoshita Shuichi with fear in his eyes: "This disciple of Minato is really a terrifying person. Not only is his talent amazing, but he also has amazing ideas. He even dares to divide a tailed beast... …”

Hoshita Shuichi nodded to Namikaze Minato: "That's right, divide the tailed beasts."

"The tailed beast is too powerful."

"Master Mother, if she wants to control the power of the Nine-Tails, or even tame the Nine-Tails, she must first weaken the Nine-Tails."

Hoshita Shuichi couldn't tell her true purpose now, so he had no choice but to move out of Uzumaki Kushina.

But he did also want to divide the Nine-Tails so that Uzumaki Kushina could forcibly master the Nine-Tails Chakra mode first.

However, Namikaze Minato was not only moved but also worried: "Shuichi, my teacher has mastered the technique of sealing away ghosts. It is extremely difficult to seal souls."

"The technique of sealing off ghosts relies on the powerful god of death... Are you sure you can create such a technique without side effects within three years?"

Hoshita Shuichi laughed after hearing this and said: "Minato-sensei should have more confidence in me. I am the best at developing ninjutsu."

"From the art of spiritual transformation, I have developed a spiritual body clone art, which is a step forward."

"Within three years, I am still very confident. But I still need the teacher to ask the Third Hokage for some soul-related techniques after he returns to Konoha."

Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly after hearing this, but then nodded seriously: "I will do my best to facilitate this matter."

"I will also make a representation to the Third Hokage about forming an alliance with Suna Ninja."

"Shuichi, be more careful over there in Sunagakure Village."

After speaking, Namikaze Minato nodded to Gamabunta and disappeared from the place.

Hoshita Shuichi also left Miaomu Mountain immediately. Although he was also quite curious about this place, now was not the time.

And this night was destined to be sleepless for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

However, although he was old, he was not without any decisiveness, so he agreed to use Hoshita Shuichi's plan without thinking for too long.

And after Hoshita Shuichi and the Fourth Kazekage reached a preliminary agreement, they would send someone to take over the peace and alliance matters.

…

Outside Sunagakure Village, Hoshita Shuichi waited quietly after receiving a reply from Gamabunta.

He knew that the Fourth Kazekage probably couldn't sleep at this moment either.

In fact, the Fourth Kazekage was in a meeting at this moment.

This turn was a bit sharp, catching many senior Suna ninja officials off guard.

Chiyo was the first to express his stance: "I support the fourth generation!"

Now that Luo Sha has held this meeting, the tendency is already very obvious.

And she agreed, definitely not for the time bomb-like curse mark in her body, nor for her brother on the other side of Platycodon Mountain, but entirely for the interests of Sunagakure Village.

But some people disagree: "Konoha proposed this plan because the Iwa ninja sent troops and they are in big trouble. As long as we hold on and Konoha is defeated, we can even take back the River Country."

Chiyo immediately retorted: "But we can't wait, the side of Platycodon Mountain will no longer be able to support it."

"That's more than two thousand people, and more than half of them are elites."

"You should know that after we lose them, we may not be able to recover for the next ten years."

"Besides, since it is a peace negotiation, we can naturally strive for some benefits, such as getting back one tail!"

The Suna Ninja who objected immediately said: "How is that possible?"

"Taking back the One-Tail means that Shuichi Hoshita will definitely die. Konoha cannot agree to this request."

Chiyo immediately said: "Then we must return part of the interests of the River Country!"

This is her true purpose.

And this is also Luo Sha's plan.

When the quarrel was almost over, Rasa said forcefully: "I decided to negotiate peace with Konoha."

"Chiyo, it's up to you to negotiate with Hoshita Shuichi."

"Ichibi, the River Country, and the companions of Platycodon City."

Chiyo nodded immediately: "I understand!"

She immediately stood up and left without stopping for a moment, heading straight out of the village.

…

"It came pretty quickly..."

Hoshita Shuichi in the stronghold smiled.

After a moment, Chiyo appeared in his sight, and then walked into the stronghold.

"Hoshita Shuichi, you should know the purpose of my coming here."

Chiyo got straight to the point: "So what are the conditions for Konoha to negotiate and form an alliance?"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head after hearing this: "It's not that we Konoha want to form an alliance, but I gave you a choice to form an alliance."

"If you don't form an alliance, it doesn't matter to me. Konoha will not lose this war. At most, it will suffer a little more loss."

"But other ninja villages will suffer more losses, because I am very vengeful."

Chiyo frowned, this brat was much more difficult to deal with than expected.

Hoshita Shuichi looked at Chiyo and continued: "A very good choice now before your Sunagakure Village is to cooperate with our Konoha, and then confront each other on the surface of Mount Kikyo."

"Once we make contact with the Iwa nin at the Fire Nation border, you go north."

"The troops from Mount Kikyo went north to block the Iwa Ninja's retreat, and here we go north to enter the Kingdom of Birds."

"Senior, do you think the Kumo ninja will also attack the Iwa ninja at that time?"

Chiyo frowned, nodded reluctantly, and then said: "But our efforts do not match our gains, and it is difficult for the ninjas in the village to accept such a result."

The initiative is no longer in his hands, and Chiyo can only make a strong request: "We can cooperate with Konoha to send troops, and we can form an alliance with Konoha, but Konoha must return the interests of the River Country that originally belonged to our Sunagakure Village."

"Secondly, Ichibi must be returned!"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head after hearing this: "River Country is impossible, that's the price you pay for attacking Konoha!"

"As for the one tail... I can return it to you."

After hearing this, Chiyo looked at Hoshita Shuichi in astonishment. This was completely unexpected.

She even felt that Shuichi Hoshita was crazy?

Hoshita Shuichi continued: "There is no problem in returning the one tail, but it is not now. It must wait three years."

Chiyo's eyes darkened, and he instantly understood Hoshita Shuichi's thoughts.

You will not pay back after three years!

Xingxia Xiuyi said: "Don't worry, since you made a promise, you won't break your promise."

"I also know that if you extract a tailed beast, you will die, but don't forget that I am still a medical ninja."

Talk about people when you see them, talk about ghosts when you see ghosts.

What's the point of fighting to the death with Suna Ninja and Iwa Ninja? Of course, let them fight to the death.

After he divides the tail, if Uchiha Madara wants to cause trouble in the future, he should first go to the jinchūriki of Sunagakure Village!

I have eaten the meat, and I will return the pot to you!

However, Hoshita Shuichi's unreasonable behavior confused Chiyo. After thinking for a while, she said: "These people will report to the Kazekage truthfully."

With that said, she turned and left.

Hoshixia Xiuyi smiled and said: "To show sincerity, the curse seal will be lifted first."

As he spoke and raised one hand, Chiyo immediately felt the chakra in his body disappear.

She paused for a moment, then quickly disappeared.

Hoshita Shuichi watched quietly: Go fight Iwa Ninja to your death!

Even... maybe we can use the hands of Suna Ninja to destroy the Grass Ninja Village? ? ?

If the Grass Ninja Village allowed the Iwa Ninja to march straight in, then there would be no need for this disobedient little brother to exist.

Destroy the grass ninja village and divide the country of grass.

Of course, this will also result in Konoha's power directly having no buffer against the Iwa Ninja.

Then find someone obedient in the Grass Ninja Village?

Evil thoughts grew in Xingxia Xiuyi's heart.
