The next day, the Hidden Leaf Village code squad received urgent letters sent back from the Country of Waves and the Country of Kawawa. After successfully deciphering them, they did not dare to delay and handed them directly to the Hokage.
The matter was so important that the Third Hokage could not act arbitrarily, so he summoned Danzo Shimura, Koharu Koharu, and Mito Monobu as advisors, as well as Shikaku Nara, the Hokage's advisor, to discuss the matter together.
Since the letter contained the missing gold issue that Asuma had mentioned, the Third Hokage did not show the letter to the four people, but instead orally described the incident: "...that's what happened. Kakashi's Team 7 is in
The Country of Waves encountered the rebel Ninja Momochi Zabuza of Kirigakure Village, while Asuma's Team 10 met the Black Hoe Raiga of Kirigakure Village in Kawa no Kuni, a country of Waves and a country of Kawa."
The Third Hokage was quite proud of his own son's achievements, and his tone couldn't help but lighten up: "Black Hoe Raiga was captured by Team 10, Momochi Zabuza over there...Kakashi thinks Momo
Zabuza just faked his death and there is a high chance that he was rescued by his companions. Team 7 is currently searching for traces of Zabuza in the Land of Waves."
The third generation coughed: "I came here to discuss this matter with you. How are we going to deal with the two rebel ninjas of Kirigakure Village, Black Hoe Raiga and Momochi Zabuza?"
Danzo was the first to question: "Asuma and three newly graduated genin were able to capture the Black Hoe Raiga of Kirigakure Village alive? Hiruzen, your information is too false."
The third generation old man smiled slightly and threw the thunder knife he brought back with the letter in front of Danzo: "You say it again? Is it false?"
Danzo had been slapped in the face so many times that he was used to it. He checked the thunder sword and found that it was genuine. This thing was indeed the ninja sword of Kirigakure Village.
He immediately changed his mind: "Black Hoe Raiga and Momochi Zabuza are both members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and they must know many secrets. Ask Asuma and Kakashi to bring the captives back to the village and hand them over to Nebu. I will
Get all the information out of the heads of these two traitorous ninjas."
One thing to say is that Danzo's handling method is very ninja-like. If this is a war era, it would be reasonable to do so. If he captures the enemy's elite Jonin, why can't he use some means? Are you kidding?
The problem is that this is not a war era. Kirigakure Village and Konoha Village are not allies, but they are also not enemies.
It was difficult to deal with one rebellious nin of this level, let alone two. The Third Hokage was worried about causing a chain reaction.
As a confidant of the Third Hokage, Shikaku naturally knew what he was thinking and spoke for him at this time.
"Lord Hokage, three advisors, I think that since the traitorous ninja of Kirigakure Village has been captured by us, it is more appropriate to hand him over to them for the sake of the friendship between the two ninja villages."
After going to bed, Xiao Chunpi said with a smile: "Friendship? Have we ever had friendship with Kirigakure Village? Shikaku, I remember that Black Hoe Raiya seemed to have killed one of your relatives during the Third War?"
Lu Jiu nodded: "Yes."
"Don't you want revenge?"
"Advisor, the war is over."
The old lady didn't speak anymore, and Mito Kadoyan on the side asked another question: "The Black Hoe Thunder Fang has fallen into our hands. Even if it is returned, will Kirigakure Village think that we have stolen some information?"
The Third Hokage and Shikaku fell silent. They were also worried about this. You said that when this prisoner was in our hands, we didn't secretly check the information or do anything? Who would believe it?
Everyone's bottom line is actually very low, and mutual trust is almost zero...
Konoha Village's proactive overtures can easily lead to negative effects.
Shikaku pondered for a moment: "Actually, Black Hoe Raiga and Momochi Zabuza are not important. Even if they return to Kirigakure Village, they will not be able to gain enough trust. They may be monitored or even imprisoned for life."
He looked at the four old people: "The future of the village is actually the most important thing. For the Kirigakure Village, which has no business, the two children mentioned by Kakashi and Asuma, Shiro and Ranmaru, their value
is the highest... Genshi is far-sighted and focused on keeping Kirigakure Village away from the Ninja World War. Even if the radicals in Kirigakure Village have objections, they can rely on Genshi's prestige and the support of the conservatives to suppress the opposition.
With our opinions suppressed, we might as well take advantage of this opportunity to improve relations with Kirigakure Village."
The Yuanshi in his words is the current actual leader of Kirigakure Village.
Genshi was once a subordinate of the first Mizukage, and has been an elder in the village ever since.
The old guy is 90 years old this year! Except for Kakuto of the Akatsuki organization, there is no ninja older than Genshi in the current ninja world.
The Third Hokage is 69 years old this year. He is considered an old man in the ninja world, but compared with Genshi, he is still far behind in terms of seniority.
The older you are, the more you value seniority.
Shikaku's words were in line with his wishes, and the Third Hokage spoke to support his confidant: "If those two children are handed over to Kirigakure Village, Genshi should have enough wisdom to judge our good intentions, and Kirigakure Village will also abandon its previous cruelty.
To rule, in the long run, we can try to cooperate with Kirigakure Village."
At the end, he even expressed his expectations: "If we can form an alliance with Kirigakure Village, plus Sunagakure Village, and the three major shinobi villages join forces, even if something happens to Kumogakure Village and Iwagakure Village in the future, we will be able to
Can be invincible.”
Danzo "hum", he disagreed with the Third Hokage's alliance strategy from the beginning to the end.
If the Leaf Village is so strong, is it necessary to form an alliance with the weak Sunagakure Village?
He said: "Hiruzhan, I still think it will be more beneficial to the village to read the intelligence in the heads of the two rebel ninjas. Your alliance is just wishful thinking and will not be realized in the end. Even if Kirigakure Village forms an alliance with us, when they
When they see more benefits, they will still betray us."
This time when I transferred to Koharu, Mito Kadoen did not stand on the same front with him. If Konoha formed an alliance with Sunagakure and Kirigakure, there might not be another ninja war in the future. It would be really cruel to fight together.
, they are the village's advisors, so they don't have to go to the battlefield, but their family is not good enough. If there is a war, all the younger members of the family will have to go to the battlefield, and no one is exempt.
If you can, it is best not to fight.
Nowadays, the political structure of Kirigakure Village is very interesting. After the fourth generation Mizukage passed away, the fifth generation Mizukage has actually been elected, but he has not obtained real power. At most, he is a mascot. All the power in the village is in the hands of Genshi, a 90-year-old man.
In the future, it was still on the eve of the Five Kage Conference that Genshi handed over the hat representing the rights of the Mizukage to Mei Terumi and officially retired. Now in Kirigakure Village, Genshi, the elder, holds the real power.
Mito Menyan thought for a while and said: "We can try to express goodwill to Master Yuan."
He looked at the Third Hokage, Koharu, and Shimura Danzo: "I dealt with Genshi twice back then. If you don't object, I will represent the village and go to Kirigakure Village with the thunder sword.
Bar."
