Looking at the list of participants notified by Konoha, Tsuchikage Onoki flashed a hint of expectation and fear.
The one who was looking forward to it was Ohnoki, who wanted to take a good look at this super genius who defeated Kumogakure and captured the Third Raikage.
What Onoki was worried about was whether Konoha had any bad ideas in letting Kizaru attend the meeting as the Hokage's bodyguard.
For example, taking advantage of the opportunity of a meeting to ambush you in a sneak attack.
Ohnoki was filled with fear when he thought of Kizaru's record against Kumogakure and the fate of the Third Raikage.
However, thinking about the good reputation of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen in the ninja world and the importance of this meeting, Onoki decided to put his worries in his heart, make preparations, and continue to participate.
"Kizaru, do you really want to take it with you?"
At the gate of Konoha Village, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was wearing the Hokage's imperial robe, looked at the two-tailed Mataru on Kizaru's shoulder with a strange look on his face.
"Teacher, you don't want to leave Matari alone in the village, do you?" Facing Hiruzen Sarutobi's question, Kizaru said while rubbing his head and comforting Matari who was showing his teeth in anger.
After thinking about it, he left a tailed beast that was not sealed and could move freely in the village, while he and Kizaru were still outside the village.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't dare to think any more.
"Better bring it with you!"
After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen put the pipe into his mouth, smoked, turned around and set off.
On this trip, in addition to being escorted by Kizaru, Sarutobi Hiruzen also brought two classes of ANBU ninjas, as well as two ninja assistants responsible for administrative affairs, so he was well prepared.
Setting off in the morning, taking care of two administrative ninjas of average strength, the entire envoy team spent a whole day feeling the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass.
After resting for a night in a border town, at 8 a.m. the next day, the well-rested team entered the Country of Grass.
Like Kumogakure in the Land of Thunder, when entering the Country of Grass this time, Konoha and Iwagakure did not notify Kuogakure, but directly sneaked in secretly.
Everyone believed that even if the Country of Grass knew about it, they would not have any objections.
In the hinterland of the Country of Grass, on a plain with flat terrain and wide visibility, on both sides of a newly built earthen house, teams from Konoha and Iwagakure appeared before the agreed time.
The short Onoki walked at the front of the team. Behind him, there were four ninjas from Iwagakure Village, two elite jounin as guards, and two assistants recording the meeting.
The same configuration as Tsuchikage Onoki, behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kizaru and a jounin from the Sarutobi clan followed, and two administrative assistants walked at the end.
Walking at the front, Onoki immediately noticed Kizaru behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose figure and clothing were very eye-catching.
As expected, he is as tall as the information described at a glance!
While walking, Onoki looked at Kizaru, and finally his eyes rested on Kizaru's shoulders.
The forward steps suddenly stopped, and Onoki looked at Kizaru's shoulder in shock.
On that guy's shoulder is the second tail of Yunyin Village!
He really conquered the second tail, and he didn't use a seal!
With a huge wave in his heart, Onoki withdrew his gaze and said in an unclear tone: "Hokage, what do you mean?"
As Onoki spoke, the four ninjas behind him all showed wary eyes and looked at Konoha's team.
Hearing Tsuchikage's question, Sarutobi Hiruzen also stopped, put his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "Tsuchikage, what do you mean by your question?"
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew the meaning of Onoki's question, and Onoki also knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen knew the meaning of his question.
Two old Riddlers!
Making a complaint in his mind, Kizaru, who was serving as the guard, raised his hand to pet the cat and turned on the movie-watching mode.
"Is Konoha bringing Kumogakure's two-tailed beast to the meeting to demonstrate against Iwagakure?" Taking the lead, Tsuchikage Onoki put a big hat on Konoha's side.
"Hahaha!" Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed and said, "This disciple of mine is really naughty and insists on bringing Erwei to the meeting. I really can't control him, so why don't I ask the Tsuchikage to help me discipline Erwei."
After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Kizaru with a slightly proud look, and the meaning of showing off was self-evident.
Damn it! So angry!
After being shown off by the old man Sarutobi, Onoki glanced at Kizaru who was licking his tailed beast, and in his heart he just hated why Iwagakure Village didn't give birth to such a super genius.
snort!
With a cold snort in his heart, Onoki continued: "I wonder what the Hokage is going to do with these two tails? When the first Hokage Senju Hashirama-sama selflessly distributed the tailed beasts to the major ninja villages, I still admire them when I think about it now.
.”
Old bastard!
Seeing Ohnoki using the First Hokage to suppress him, Sarutobi Hiruzen kept the smile on his face and did not answer directly. Instead, he looked at Kizaru beside him.
Since Onoki, the old bastard, can't speak well, let's let Kizaru, who can't speak even more, be let out to have a conversation.
Kizaru, who was playing with his cat and watching a show, faced the constant gestures from Mr. Sarutobi's eyes, his face full of helplessness.
You guys were having a good chat, why did you suddenly come to see me?
With a wry smile and touching the back of his head, Kizaru looked at Ohnoki.
Onoki saw the little moves between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Kizaru. He didn't know what the meaning of Sarutobi Hiruzen's move was.
You can't say that you can't say it, and you're ready to fight, right?
Thinking of this, Onoki became more vigilant in his heart.
"It's really sad! Lord Tsuchikage! The second tail was a gift given to me by Kumogakure when we first met." At this point, Kizaru deliberately paused for a moment before continuing with a smile, "I don't know when we first met.
I'm really looking forward to whatever gift Tsuchikage-sama has for me!"
Bah! How shameless! Which ninja village would give a tailed beast as a gift?
Oh, by the way! You guys have done it in Konoha!
Onoki was angered by Kizaru's remarks. He did not look at Kizaru, but glared at the smiling Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Now that I think about Uncle Raikage, I admire him very much!" Using the words Ohnoki said, Kizaru mocked him in a mean tone.
Your admiration is that you captured the Raikage alive and escorted him back to the village, and he didn't even walk in a straight line and wandered around the Land of Fire?
When he thought that the Third Raikage was still touring the Land of Fire, Onoki felt a chill in his body, and the feeling of sadness over the death of a rabbit arose spontaneously.
"Kizaru, don't be rude! This time the Tsuchikage asked us to meet, and he came with good intentions to form an alliance." At the end of the sentence, Sarutobi Hiruzen emphasized his tone, secretly reminding Onoki not to forget the purpose of this trip.
.
After receiving the reminder from Sarutobi Hiruzen, the angry Onoki also knew that it was time to get to the point and took the initiative to say: "What the Hokage said is that I am here this time for the sake of long-term peace between the two countries.
I hope that Iwagakure and Konoha can become truly friendly allies and work together to prevent Hanzo’s ambitions from the Land of Rain!"
"What the Tsuchikage said is exactly what Konoha expected." Everyone carried the sedan chair. Seeing that Onoki finally spoke human words, Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally smiled and agreed.
"Then please, Hokage!" As he spoke, Onoki pointed to an earthen house not far ahead that was built by ninjas from both sides.
"Please!" Raising his hand in response, Sarutobi Hiruzen led the four people behind him and walked towards the earthen house used for the meeting.
It’s so tiring to write lines for two old foxes!!!
