Namikaze Minato hurried back to Konoha and temporarily stopped Danzo's plan to extract the second tail. Currently, only a few high-level relevant people know about it.
Therefore, among the people present, only Uchiha Fugaku felt confused after hearing about dealing with tailed beasts.
He probably had this thought himself: Is this a secret that I, the leader of the Uchiha clan, can have access to? It’s too private...
However, Shimura Danzo could not care too much at this time. Perhaps for him, today was the most appropriate occasion to attack the Yondaime's prestige and deny his Hokage talent in front of more people.
Faced with Danzo's aggressiveness, Namikaze Minato remained calm and composed.
Then he smiled slightly and asked: "Does this still need to be explained?
Of course it's because the value of this Konoha ANBU ninja is higher than Kumogakure's two-tailed jinchūriki..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar immediately.
Is an ANBU ninja worth more than a two-tailed Jinchuuriki? Almost everyone immediately suspected whether they were hearing hallucinations.
If it weren't for the fact that these words really came from the fourth generation Hokage Namifeng Shui's door, then anyone would think it was crazy talk. You know, in most cases, let alone the village elites such as ANBU jounin, even if
The value of the Kage himself cannot be measured alongside the village's ultimate weapons, the tailed beasts and jinchūriki.
After all, even the strongest Kage has a lifespan and cannot exist as the village's fighting force forever.
The ultimate weapon, the tailed beast, is different. The tailed beast has eternal life and can exist forever relying on the jinchuriki. It is as powerful as the first Hokage Senju Hashirama. When the tailed beast was originally assigned, he even left a trail for the village.
Kyuubi, why on earth did the Fourth Hokage think that the value of an ANBU could be worth that of a tailed beast?
"...Hehehe, Yondaime, did I hear correctly?"
Danzo Shimura was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and smiled sarcastically, "You just said that the value of an ANBU is higher than that of a second tail?"
"Yondaime, if you are joking, you should know the occasion..." Mito Kadobu adjusted his glasses and looked a little unhappy.
"If you are serious, then it is hard for us not to suspect that this decision contains elements of favoritism." In contrast, Xiaochun, who was transferred to bed, seemed to be even more merciless, directly questioning the cause of the storm.
Seeing his best apprentice, Namikaze Minato, become the target of public criticism, Jiraiya was also very anxious.
He couldn't help but come to the rescue and said: "It's impossible for Minato to show favoritism. You should first ask the Yondaime to express your own considerations and judgments, and then we can make plans..."
After saying that, he hurriedly looked at Namikaze Minato.
As for the latter, although his face remained calm at this time, he felt a trace of shame in his heart.
I'm sorry, Jiraiya-sensei, this time I proposed the prisoner exchange just because of some personal feelings...
But despite this, Namikaze Minato found a very legitimate reason early on.
Then he started to explain with a very calm expression: "In that case, let me explain it seriously..."
"Actually, this ANBU ninja was sent by me to spy on Kumogakure's important and highly confidential mission, and the reason why I wanted to exchange prisoners was because she had obtained the important secrets of Kumogakure Village about cultivating perfect Jinchuuriki. If she could
If it were her, Konoha would also have this method..."
"How to cultivate a perfect Jinchuuriki?!" Mito Katobu's face was full of shock.
"This...this is indeed extremely important intelligence information..." Xiaochun suddenly realized when he went to bed.
Only Danzo and two advisors understood Namikaze Minato's explanation immediately.
Because only the three of them and Minato Namikaze know the results of Yukito's interrogation. From the information obtained by Yamanaka Kaiichi's special means, they learned that there is indeed an island on the sea in Kumogakure Village, and there is a place inside it that can train people.
A place for jinchuriki. And the so-called perfect jinchuriki is completed through special training here.
Once you become a perfect Jinchuuriki, you can completely control the power of the tailed beasts.
Although Konoha doesn't pay much attention to developing the power of tailed beasts, now that it knows that the enemy Kumogakure already has such means, Konoha can no longer turn a blind eye and be willing to lag behind.
Therefore, the prisoner exchange proposed by Namikaze Minato is no longer a simple exchange of two ninjas, but an exchange of information about the two-tailed beast and the method of cultivating the perfect Jinchuuriki...
As for whether Nonoyu really got the information about Turtle Island and its interior? Of course not...
This is actually just an excuse made by Namikaze Minato.
Even so, as a time traveler, Namikaze Minato knows exactly how Kumogakure trains jinchuriki and how to cultivate a perfect jinchuriki, so now he says that Nonoyu has obtained this information, and there is nothing wrong with it.
flaw.
At worst, it will be replaced by Nonoyu and they can collude...
Shimura Danzo really didn't expect that Namikaze Minato could give such a reasonable explanation for this matter.
Unwilling to do so, he objected: "I don't think this is necessary!"
"The Two-Tailed Jinchuuriki is in our hands. As long as it takes time, it won't be a problem to pry out all the confidential information of Kumogakure."
However, after Minato Namikaze heard this, his heart was full of disdain and he asked mercilessly: "So, in the root of your Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there is the ability to defeat the leader of Konoha Intelligence Corps, Yamanaka Kaiichi.
A ninja?"
This question immediately made Danzo's face darken, and he was still unable to refute.
Because before Namikaze Minato returned to the village, Danzo had selfishly intervened in the interrogation. However, he tried his best to get a trace of information from Yukito, but in the end he still
Only after Yamanaka Hai took action did he achieve a little gain.
It is a pity that due to the existence and interference of the two tails in Yukito's body, even Yamanaka Haiichi was not able to completely pry out all the information on her. Otherwise, there would be no need to exchange prisoners...
…
After Mito Kato and Koharu looked at each other, they quickly exchanged opinions, then turned to Namikaze Minato, and finally expressed their approval: "In that case, prisoner exchange is indeed worth considering.
…”
Namikaze Minato nodded when he heard this, but then suddenly changed his voice, turned his gaze to Shimura Danzo, and said with great meaning: "I have already given an explanation for the prisoner exchange.
But now there is another matter, and I would also like to ask the director of the root department, Danzo Shimura, to explain it..."
After saying that, Namikaze Minato suddenly shouted: "Kakashi!!"
Before he finished speaking, a puff of smoke rose in the open space beside the long table in the conference room, and then before the fog dissipated, two figures inside emerged.
One of them is slightly shorter, has silver hair, wears a fox mask, and is dressed in ANBU costume.
Next to him is an adult man who is tied and kneeling. Although his attire is similar to that of ANBU, the oil mask he wears shows that he is not an ANBU member, but seems to belong to the root...
Because the masks in the ANBU are all animal-shaped, only the roots have this kind of oil paint mask.
