In the office of the former Tsuchikage Building in New Iwagakure Village, Nasuki stared blankly at the transparent ripples dissipating in the air, and after a while, he turned his gaze to the side.
"Master, sister, is there going to be a war now?"
Jiraiya and Tsunade, who were sitting on the sofa, looked at each other after hearing this. Tsunade finally spoke, but it was a complaint:
"I just arrived here in Tu Province two days ago, and something like this happened again. That guy Lei Luo is really disappointing, can't we wait first?"
Jiraiya thought for a moment and then interjected: "Using force against Kirigakure Village is a big deal. Since we have received the summons, it is best to leave as soon as possible."
Angrily rolling her eyes at Jiraiya, Tsunade whispered: "Although revenge on the Federation is in line with my wishes, the time is too short."
"There is no way. You know the character of Lei Luo. If we are late, we will definitely be in trouble later."
Jiraiya had no choice but to show his hands. He came here with Tsunade. The two of them had no other purpose than to see how their apprentice or younger brother was doing. Who would have expected that he would have to go back after only two days.
"Oh! Stop talking, I'm very annoyed now!"
Realizing that the discussion never got to the point, Shengshu couldn't help but cough twice and asked calmly: "By the way, you guys accepted this task so calmly?"
"This is war..."
Tsunade waved her hands impatiently. Although her face was slightly mocking, her tone was full of trust: "I understand that guy Lei Luo. He won't make decisions easily if he is not completely sure."
"I just don't know if he will summon my eldest grandfather and second grandfather this time." At this point, her expression became entangled, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"I don't think so. Since Lei Luo has chosen to take the initiative, it proves that our advantage is great..." Jiraiya shook his head slowly and concluded:
"Unless there is no other way, that guy Lei Luo will definitely not want to rely on the power of the former Kage. Tsunade, I think you can rest assured about this."
"Really..." After murmuring for a while, Tsunade glanced sideways at Jiraiya, leaned back angrily, closed her eyes and stopped talking to him.
Tsunade's reaction made Jiraiya feel puzzled. He simply stood up and hooked his hand at the rope tree: "Without further delay, let's set off now."
The attitude of the master and sister was to accept the task without hesitation. Although Naoshu felt a little uneasy, he also knew that he could not back down in this situation.
"Okay, let me arrange the work..."
"Let's go!"
Different from Jiraiya and Tsunade, Naoki is still considered the head of the village. In the new structure of the province, he holds a very important power, so naturally he cannot just leave.
Today, that young boy back then has now stood upright in front of the stage. Although he is not the Hokage of Konoha, he still has some regrets.
But in the original structure of the five major countries, Nezuki's current status is almost equal to that of Tsuchikage Onoki, which can be regarded as the realization of his childhood dream.
As for the original third-generation Tsuchikage Onoki, he was imprisoned for many years because he refused to give in, and died in depression five years ago.
After Naoki took the position of leader of the new Iwagakure, he was not in Konohagakure for many years, so he had little experience with the Nine-Tails Rebellion and other events, and his hatred for the Federation was far less than that of Tsunade and Jiraiya who had experienced it personally.
Therefore, even if there was no reaction on the surface, Shengshu was actually not in favor of going to war against the Federation in his heart, because it would have too much to do with it.
However, no matter what, since Mr. Prime Minister has issued a clear order, Shengshu will naturally correct his position and make the right choice, even though this may affect his work...
"I warn you..."
"Next time, you all have to go to jail!"
At the main entrance of Caoyin Village, a group of grass ninjas gathered around, all with a faint fear in their eyes, staring at the middle-aged man in black with a fierce expression in the center of the crowd.
This person is none other than Root Minister Uchiha Fugaku.
bump!
As soon as he finished speaking, Fugaku kicked the stacks of wooden boxes in front of him and dumped them on the ground, revealing densely packed syringes. Each label clearly read: Fifth Generation Chakra Reagent.
"Lord Fugaku, we really don't know about this matter. The smugglers are here. Please don't extend the problem to Kusagakure Village, okay?"
An elder Caoyin wearing a horse-face mask walked out and said tremblingly.
Following the direction of the opponent's finger, Fugaku glanced at the criminals who were captured by the Kusanagi and had frightened expressions on their faces. He snorted coldly and squinted at Elder Kusugaku for a moment.
"Don't do anything bad, and don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door. Remember, I will always keep an eye on your Kusanagi Village." After saying this, Fugaku turned around and called the root ninja to receive the supplies and escort the criminals away.
Over the past ten years, arms smuggling cases have occurred frequently in Cao Province. Fugaku does not think this is an accidental phenomenon. According to his judgment, the relationship between Cao Province leaders and smuggling gangs is unclear, and they are most likely to be the protective umbrella of certain criminals.
.
The purpose is nothing more than to make huge profits through smuggling activities.
But this group of guys are all members of Congress, and their hands and feet are extremely clean. Fugaku suffers from the lack of evidence and cannot easily arrest people, so after intercepting another batch of goods today, he can only give a stern warning.
As for whether the other party will listen, that's a matter of opinion.
"Father." Seeing Fugaku striding towards him with a frosty look on his face, Itachi looked serious. He just said hello, and then heard the former ask: "Tell me, what's the matter with bringing Tutu here just now?"
Obito came over half an hour ago, but Fugaku was busy arresting people at that time and had some conflicts with Kusakure. In addition, he scolded Elder Kusagakure, which delayed a little time, so Itachi received him on his behalf.
"Brother Obito brought a message..."
The words paused, Itachi turned his head slightly, and glanced at the grass ninja around him seemingly casually. Fugaku felt enlightened and pointed ahead. The father and son walked far away, and Itachi started talking in a low voice.
"Is the Fourth Generation finally going to use force against the Federation..." After hearing the news, Fugaku closed his eyes slightly and pondered for a while. To be honest, although he was a little surprised, if you ask him what he thinks...
"Okay, that's great. I've been looking forward to the demise of the Federation."
A trace of sincere joy flashed across his face, and the corner of Fugaku's mouth rose: "If we, the Land of Fire, were the only country in the ninja world, smuggling cases wouldn't happen so frequently, right?"
Sensing the meaning in Fugaku's tone, Itachi hesitated for a moment, carefully observed his father's facial expression, and lowered his voice and asked: "In other words, father, do you support this war?"
"Of course it is. What's the point of asking?" Years of experience following the Fourth Generation on the battlefield have made Fugaku unafraid of war. He also believes that since the Fourth Generation has made a decision, it proves that:
This battle must be won!
"Get ready, Itachi, we will set off back to Konoha tomorrow morning. This battle is a good opportunity to gain military glory." Patting his son on the shoulder, Fugaku turned around and waved the Gennin to leave.
For a moment, Itachi stood there, lost in thought. It was not until the shouts from the crowd came that he came back to his senses and hurriedly followed. While running away, several questions arose in his heart:
Why hasn’t Root received any news about such a big thing recently?
Could it be that... could it be a sudden decision made by the fourth generation?
Are there some unknown connotations hidden in this?
