Still talking non-stop, he talked about war and Ninjutsu training, and finally showed off the novel "Intimate Paradise" he was writing. Obviously, Orochimaru was not interested in Jiraiya's novel writing.
It's just a conversation that goes on and on.
The two of them had long been estranged from each other. In fact, Jiraiya's real purpose was to maintain the relationship with Orochimaru. This was something Namikaze Minato specifically told him before he set off.
Of course, there is also Jiraiya's subjective intention in this, and he also wants to strengthen the relationship between the three ninjas.
Although Namikaze Minato was sure that Orochimaru was conducting human experiments, he still did not tell Jiraiya about it. He just pretended to be unintentional and revealed some news about Orochimaru's current situation. So Jiraiya has really been...
I just want to catch up with Orochimaru and get closer to him again...
Unfortunately, he didn't realize that his unintentional words had aroused Orochimaru's suspicion of Namikaze Minato.
And among the three ninjas of Konoha, it will never be possible to return to the past...
…
…
Another two days later.
In Konoha Village, in the root base.
Danzang Shimura was hiding in a hall in the underground building with the help of bright candlelight. After carefully reading the Kumogakure border secret information he had just received in his hand, a look of contemplation flashed across his gloomy left eye.
Immediately, he skillfully burned the information, turned to look at the Genbe subordinates kneeling in front of him, and asked: "So, it seems that all the Konoha spies placed inside Yunyin Village have been confirmed to be disconnected?
"
The root ninja in front of him heard the words and immediately responded: "Danzo-sama, the last intelligence agent lurking in Yunyin Village, lost the news after sending back the last news a few days ago, and has basically exceeded the longest period of time.
Contact hours…”
"so……"
He didn't continue, but it obviously confirmed Danzo's conclusion.
Konoha's latent spy ninjas in Kumo Ninja were officially declared wiped out. After Danzo confirmed the news, his expression did not waver at all, as if this was a common occurrence.
"In this case, then the Intelligence Department should give up Kumogakure for the time being...
After all, there is a very shortage of manpower now."
"Yes, Lord Danzo."
The root ninja who was lying on the ground responded respectfully at first, and then asked hesitantly: "Do the personnel responsible for handing over intelligence at the Kumogakure border also need to withdraw?"
Because there are no informants in Kumoyin Village, the ninjas who pass on information outside the village naturally lose their existence value.
In the short term, there are no plans to send new intelligence personnel into Hidden Cloud Village, so this root ninja naturally wants to ask Danzo for instructions on whether to withdraw him temporarily.
"No need, let him stay where he is first."
Shimura Danzo seemed to have a plan in mind. He smiled gloomily and slowly opened his slightly squinted left eye, revealing a chill: "There will be new tasks that he needs to complete soon..."
After receiving the order, the root ninja quickly retreated.
Danzo then stood up leisurely, his expression not only not sentimental about losing several Konoha informants, but even more relaxed.
Although he had received the exact information, Kumo Ninja had been secretly preparing for the war for a long time and had reached the stage of near completion.
However, the sudden and rigorous internal investigation at this time, in his opinion, further confirmed the possibility that Yun Ninja was about to join the war.
After confirming this, Danzo finally felt relieved. All he had to do at this time was to expedite the urging of Namikaze Minato to increase the number of troops in the Grass Country, and let Konoha mobilize a large number of troops to weaken the east defense of the Fire Country in disguise.
The power of tolerance.
Giving the Kumo ninja an opportunity to sneak attack on Konoha would give Namikaze Minato, who was later responsible for the village's defeat in the war, an excuse to be impeached.
At present, it seems that everything is going according to plan...
Slowly walking towards the outside of the root base, Shimura Danzo's pace seemed to become more and more brisk...
The second day.
At the high-level meeting, Danzo once again urged the proposal to increase troops, which put a lot of pressure on Namikaze Minato.
I don’t know whether it was due to collusion or some other reason, but this time even the two consultants unanimously approved the proposal. As for Nara Shikaku, of course he still chose to remain silent as is customary.
Since Kakashi and Asaharano had left for four days and still no news had been sent back, Minato Namikaze had no choice but to drag it out again. He thought that Danzo would directly express his dissatisfaction as the Hokage's assistant and take the initiative.
Zhan Faction's remarks, but he did not expect that he would actually state the strategic advantages of quickly ending the war with the Iwa Ninja with reasonable evidence.
He even agreed with his opinion that Konoha was in urgent need of recuperation and recuperation as he had mentioned before.
Frankly speaking, only by ending the war quickly can we rest and recuperate. If we do not agree to increase the number of troops to defeat the Iwa nin, it is a self-contradictory strategy.
These words were so well-founded that even Namikaze Minato had to look at the Pot King with admiration.
In the end, after a lot of talking, Namikaze Minato was able to fight against everyone's opinions and get a few more days to postpone the reinforcements to the Kusanagi front line again.
After the meeting.
The shadow clone Namikaze Minato returned to the office upset. The original body's senjutsu practice at Mt. Miaomu was the same as before, and there was still no progress. When he thought of this, he felt that everything was going wrong these days...
Even so, when I returned to the office and saw the neat rows of document scrolls on the desk, I felt a lot more comfortable. These were all the work of the pharmacist Nonou. Thanks to her, the shadow clone Minato
Working today is extremely easy.
Is this the benefit of being a secretary?
Namikaze Minato secretly glanced at the back of Nonou who left after putting down a pile of documents. Since he had nothing to do, he took out the Uzumaki clan secretary scroll and studied it in his spare time.
The progress of cracking the Tongue-eradicating Seal was unexpectedly fast, and could even be completed in just these two days.
Unfortunately, it would be good news if Kakashi could catch up. Otherwise, cracking a ninjutsu would really not give him any sense of accomplishment.
While Namikaze Minato was immersed in the study of the curse seal technique, there was a knock on the door.
After a little serious expression, he got his permission, and soon the door opened.
A cold face that I haven't seen for a long time came in.
"It's Captain Riyin, what's the matter?"
Come to think of it, Liyin from the barrier class has indeed not appeared for a long time. Ever since he transformed the three-yuan world sealing formation into the five-yuan world sealing formation, all related maintenance and transformation matters have fallen on Liyin's head.
.
I'm afraid I've been busy with this matter for the past month.
However, the huge Konoha Village covers an area of hundreds of thousands of square meters. If you want to change the huge barrier covering the village, you can imagine how much work it is.
It is said that when building the Three-Yuan Boundary Formation in the early days, it took at least several months to complete.
It will probably take a long time to renovate and upgrade now.
So Minato Namikaze guessed that Rione might have encountered some kind of problem when she suddenly came over...
