After the people who participated in the meeting left, only three generations and a few consultants were left in the conference room.
After the others left, Mito Kadoen, who had remained silent, sighed and said, "Hiruzhan, you shouldn't have hesitated, causing Uchiha to steal the spotlight and destroying the hard-won peace."
Koharu, who was sleeping next to him, also said: "Whether it's peace or war, you, the Hokage, should make the decision, not the little Uchiha."
The consultant elders who witnessed everything that happened before are different from other ninjas. After a long time, they cannot be easily moved by a few words with the will of fire.
What they care more about is maintaining the existing situation and maintaining a relative balance.
The balance between Hiruzen and Danzo, the balance between the Hokage family and the Uchiha, Yin's actions are undoubtedly breaking this tacit balance.
He exhaled smoke, and the smoke lingered in the sky above the conference room.
Perhaps the one who was most touched by the words of Will of Fire was him, the Hokage. He proposed the program to protect his companions, and he kept it on his lips at all times.
But before, he actually had the idea of handing over his village companions and settling the matter.
The reason why he couldn't stop Yin in time was because he saw the shadows of Kushuna and Minato in her body.
Those words may have come from Minato and Kushina, after all, Yin once served as Kushina's bodyguard.
If Minato was still here, he would definitely be able to make better choices instead of having to compromise like he did.
But now the village has fallen into a state of stagnation, and many independent ninjas died in the Night of the Nine Tails.
Although there is no fault, the village at the fourth station must always be alert to attacks from the surrounding ninja villages.
Coupled with the fact that the whereabouts of the gangsters from the Nine-Tails Rebellion have not yet been found, there is a possibility that they could make a comeback at any time.
After pondering for a long time, Sandai looked at Xiaochun and Yan. It was they who had been sharing their government affairs and would not let him collapse, but their vision seemed a bit narrow compared to his own.
After a pause, Sandai said: "What you said all makes sense, but what Yin said is also correct. We really cannot maintain peace by handing over our companions. I will find a way to envoy Kumogakure, and the rest will be
It’s up to you.”
At this moment, Danzo, who had previously followed Kumogakure's envoy, returned to the conference room.
Sandai quickly asked: "Danzo, how is the Kumogakure mission over there?"
"Be prepared to continue the war," Danzo sat down, then showed a solemn expression and said, "Hiruzen, I don't agree with your idea of peace talks, but the information that my subordinates have dug up must be mentioned."
After moving to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoyan asked in confusion: "What's the news?"
Danzo said slowly: "It's about the previous meeting. Before the meeting started, some people seemed to have guessed that Kumogakure would demand the handover of the murderer and the top management would compromise. If Hiruzen really handed over the murderer, I'm afraid it would
It aroused the anger of the villagers."
After a pause, Danzo continued: "I suspect that this is a rumor deliberately promoted by Hinata and Uchiha, in which the Tailed Beast Chamber of Commerce played a role in fueling the flames. I recommend a thorough investigation of the Tailed Beast Chamber of Commerce."
When he mentioned the Tailed Beast Chamber of Commerce, Koharu went to bed and said:
"The Tailed Beast Chamber of Commerce, I remember that it was a chamber of commerce that emerged in recent years. It is developing rapidly. There are even shares of relatives of daimyo in it. Let's go check it out."
Mito Monohan also echoed: "If it arouses the dissatisfaction of the daimyo-sama, the village's military expenditure may be reduced, exacerbating the unrest in the village, which is not good."
Danzo said sadly: "The Tailed Beast Chamber of Commerce can ignore it, but Hinata and Uchiha have a tendency to unite. This is not a good sign."
At this point, Koharu and Mito Menyan's expressions gradually became serious as they went to bed.
Hinata and Uchiha are both wealthy families in the village, with over a hundred ninjas under their banner, and they are both blood successors, at least chunin-level ninjas. The combined strength of the two has far exceeded the ANBU directly under the Hokage line.
It may even threaten their high-level status.
Thinking of this, several people couldn't help but look at the third generation. Although the third generation was old, he was still the leader of the village.
The third generation remained silent. He got the news earlier than Danzo, but he only sent people to clarify, not to investigate and stop it, otherwise it would be used by someone with ulterior motives.
He would not completely believe Danzo's words. This had been the case since Sakumo's death, and it had intensified during the Nine-Tails Rebellion.
If it weren't for the fact that Danzo was still valuable today, he would have abandoned it long ago.
Retracting the thoughts that were diverging in his heart, Sandai avoided this topic and focused on Kumogakure and the envoys. This was something he couldn't wait to do.
The residence of the Kumogakure Mission.
The deputy captain of the Kumo ninja who participated in the meeting returned to the station with a livid face. His expression did not recover until safety was ensured.
In this meeting with Konoha senior officials, they did not gain any advantage. They were even ridiculed by Uchiha ninjas who were not Konoha senior officials and rejected the threat of war.
The vice-captain was fully aware that the captain was not a murderer, but a suicide.
This was originally a plan by him and the leader against Konoha. They could not defeat Konoha in the frontal battlefield, but they secretly intensified the conflicts within Konoha.
It's just that he didn't know what went wrong in the plan and why the captain would attack civilians in other villages.
Is it because of Uchiha's genjutsu? But why would Uchiha, who already had conflicts with the village, help Hinata who has a grudge against her?
As a result, in this operation, the captain's image even became negative, and the Uchiha became a hero who protected the villagers, which they did not want to see.
"Acting Captain, shall we tear up the peace agreement?" Several Yun Ninja looked at the deputy captain of Yun Nin who took the position.
The vice-captain shook his head and said: "Only Raikage-sama can decide this matter. Everyone knows the situation in the village, and we cannot make decisions for you."
"That's all it can do."
The other cloud ninja envoys echoed that even now they don't know whether they want peace or war.
Since they all chose to come here for peace talks, they all knew in their hearts that the war could not continue.
After letting his subordinates leave, the deputy captain of Kumo Nin took out a pen and paper and began to write a letter to the Raikage. There was a lot of embellished words in the letter, and there were even a few words to curse the Raikage himself.
Unlike other Kumo ninjas, he does not completely obey the Raikage's orders and belongs to another faction.
Only if the war continues, the fourth generation's reputation can decline, and their faction can come to power.
After writing the letter, the vice-captain left Konoha, summoned the Ninja Eagle in a nearby town, and handed the letter to the psychic beast, which was then conveyed to Kumogakure through a special channel.
After handing over the letter, he looked at Konoha's Shadow Rock, his eyes filled with resentment.
