The remaining fire sword of Konoha

"But in this gambling fight, if Iwagakure, Tsuchigakure and Kirigakure join forces, there will still be many masters. Especially if Kirabi and Yuzuki are also released to Kumogakure, there will be some trouble." Minato laughed. said.

Although he said there was some trouble, Minato's expression still seemed very relaxed, and he was obviously very confident about this gambling fight.

Yusuke nodded: "Although we all knew that after taking down Sunagakure, the other major ninja villages would definitely take action, but we didn't expect that they would propose a gambling method. But this is fine. After the victory, we can Let them calm down for a while, and when we resolve the two unsettling factors, Uchiha Madara and Orochimaru, it will be time to unify the ninja world."

Minato took out an empty scroll from his desk and began to write on it the names of the people who planned to participate in this gambling battle, Yusuke Uchiha, Minato Namikaze, Hayakura, Kabuto Yakushi, Kakashi, Itachi Uchiha , Uchiha Izumi.

After writing down the seven names, Minato looked up at Yusuke and said: "There are currently four places left, and we may have to choose from the remaining elite jounin."

Yusuke smiled and said: "I still have three masters here, my disciple Kurama Yakumo, and monks Xiaonan and Hoichi who just joined us."

After Konan and Monk Hoichi took refuge in Yusuke, Yusuke settled them in Konoha and gave them a name in the ANBU, so Minato and Kakashi were also very aware of their existence.

Hearing Yusuke's words, Minato's eyes lit up: "Yes, these are all masters. So do you have any suggestions for the last spot? If not, I will ask Hayama-senpai to take action."

Senior Hayama in the Minato Gate is none other than the veteran elite Jonin Bai Yun Hayama, and he can also be regarded as a card among Konoha's elite Jonin.

Yusuke smiled and said: "No problem. But in my opinion, maybe the people we arranged don't even need to play, it is enough to determine the winner."

It is a gambling battle according to the rules of gambling. As long as one party wins six games, then the gambling battle is over.

Minato shook his head and said, "Why don't you give your opponent a chance?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Just as Yusuke and Minato decided on the candidates to participate in the gambling battle, the people of Iwagakure, Kumogakure and Kirigakure were also discussing their lineup.

Although Konoha has accepted their proposal, the expressions on the faces of Onoki, Darui and Terumi Mei are not relaxed at this time. It is obvious that they are not fully sure about this gambling battle.

Onoki and the others knew very well that Konoha had many masters, but in order to avoid an all-out war with the powerful Konoha, gambling was the least risky plan they could think of.

After thinking for a moment, Onoki took the lead in giving the list of Iwagakure's participants: "Iwagakure, Huangtu and Deidara will participate."

Mei Terumi frowned upon hearing this: "Why don't you send out the two Jinchuuriki from Iwagakure? And isn't this Deidara the S-class wanted criminal in your Iwagakure Village?"

Raikage Darui also looked at Onoki with a puzzled look. The list of participants that the other party came up with was also far beyond his expectation.

Onoki smiled awkwardly and said: "It's embarrassing to say that the two jinchūriki in the village have disappeared recently, and Deidara has also changed his mind and returned to Iwagakure. His strength may be considered the only one in Iwagakure." Second to me, he is a very powerful fighter."

After the two Jinchuuriki of Iwagakure were captured by the Akatsuki organization, Onoki kept it secret in order to prevent the incident from affecting the reputation of Iwagakure Village. At the same time, he secretly inquired about the two Jinchuuriki.

As for Deidara, he was found by Kurotsuchi and persuaded to return to Iwagakure Village. Anyway, he had nowhere to go without joining the Akatsuki organization. After Tsuchikage Onoki promised to give him a free area to develop explosive art, Deidara agreed to return to Iwagakure Village.

It can be seen that the strength of Konoha and the disappearance of the two major jinchūriki of Iwagakure Village also put great pressure on Onoki. Otherwise, he would not consider recalling the extremely unstable Deidara back to the village.

After hearing Ohnoki's explanation, Terumi Mei and Darui looked at each other speechless. Originally, they both hoped that Iwagakure Village would have more masters.

After all, Kumogakure's vitality was severely damaged after the battle with Konoha. Although the damage was not serious after the battle between Kirigakure and Konoha, the fourth generation Mizukage and Migaki Kisame disappeared, and there were not many masters in the village.

With a sigh, Terumi Mei revealed Kirigakure's lineup: "On Kirigakure's side, I, Ao, and Chojuro will fight."

It is not difficult to see from Terumi Mei's list of Kirigakure's participation in the war that Kirigakure's current situation is indeed extremely bad. The masters among jounin may be ranked at the bottom among the five major ninja villages. Even Kirigakure just represented Kirigakure in the joint competition. Chojuro, who took the Shinobi exam, was sent out.

At this time, Terumi Mei also felt bitter in her heart. Although after becoming the Mizukage, she implemented many reform measures in the village that received very good responses. While vigorously cultivating talents, she also actively appeased the oppressed blood family.

It's a pity that she has only been in office for a few years, and no matter how good her policies are, they are not enough to bring the declining Kirigakure Village back to life in such a short period of time.

The expression on Raikage Darui's face was very dissatisfied at this time: "Your Excellency Tsuchikage, Sir Mizukage, this martial arts battle will involve eleven competitions, and the two of them only have three contestants each. , are the remaining five all coming from Yunyin?"

Onoki said slowly: "Raikage-dono, you can first list the candidates for Kumogakure, and then we can discuss the available personnel."

Darui's expression softened a little, and he thought for a moment and said: "Let's have four contestants from Kumogakure's side. I, Kirabi, Yuzuki and Dodai will fight. Let Kumogakure and Kirigakure discuss the last choice. .”

After giving out the list of participants, Darui told the story that Kirabi and Yuzuki had been extracted from Konoha as tailed beasts. While Onoki and Terumi Mei were surprised, several people couldn't help but suspect that they had disappeared in recent years. Are all the Jinchuuriki secretly captured by Konoha?

After all, judging from Konoha's current strength, it is not difficult to secretly capture the Jinchuuriki, especially since Konoha has mastered more than one space and time ninjutsu, making it extremely convenient to move.

But doubts are doubts, and the most important thing at the moment is to win the gambling battle first. After discussions between Ohnoki and Terumi Mei, the last person to fight was selected as Fuga from Iwagakure Village.

Due to the mutual vigilance and reservations between Iwagakure, Kirigakure and Kumogakure, some information was not shared in advance. As a result, the lineup of this gambling battle was greatly beyond their expectations, and they were not very sure in the first place. It has been reduced a lot.

But now, they have no choice but to bite the bullet.
