Chapter 346 He is different from Shumao, the confusion of Ye Cang in the Burning Escape

Although the course on learning from history was only a few short classes, it allowed him to begin to learn how to think about the things behind everything.

Jiraiya's words, coupled with his identity as the disciple of the Third Hokage and one of the Three Ninjas of Konoha, do not mean that his disciples can cause trouble without restraint.

As long as safety can be guaranteed, like this time, the village's perception barrier sounded an alarm, shocking the top leaders.

But as long as nothing goes wrong and it only involves the two of them, there's no problem.

Jiraiya knew that Minato was practicing sealing techniques, and his attainments in the Four Symbols Seal had even surpassed that of his teacher.

After learning that the Rasengan was successfully developed, this unique ninjutsu combined with the mobility of the Flying Thunder God Technique represented so many things.

At this moment, even the old man... needs to carefully consider Minato's opinion.

Minato is not White Fang, the strong man of the Hatake clan. He carries too much on his shoulders and values ​​honor too much.

"I understand."

Minato's voice sounded.

This made Jiraiya a little confused. For a moment he didn't know whether he really understood it or just understood the surface meaning.

But none of this matters.

……

At the same time, in the office of the Hokage Building, Danzo, who was leaning on a cane, found this place as soon as he learned the whole story.

However, as soon as he entered the room, he found that his old friend was still calmly flipping through the scroll in his hand.

"Boom."

The cane tapped the floor.

Danzo said, "The Nine-Tails' chakra exploded, and that evil feeling filled the entire village. Hiruzen, if the Nine-Tails riots, the whole village will..."

"The Kyuubi has not completely broken free of the seal."

Sarutobi Hiruzen also turned his head inward, interrupting the other party and continuing: "Minato's Four Symbols Seal is very well practiced, and he can restrain the Nine-Tails' riot in time."

Danzo frowned, his eyes leaving no room for doubt.

"No one can guarantee whether it will be so smooth next time. That is a tailed beast with almost infinite chakra. It only needs one attack to make Konoha disappear completely in the ninja world!"

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally put down the scroll in his hand.

He raised his head slightly, holding the pipe beside him with one hand: "What do you want to do?"

Danzo's eyes flashed with light, and he tried his best to hide his inner impulse, and said in a steady voice: "Jinchūriki can't live a normal life. The tailed beasts in their bodies are bewitching them all the time. Hand her over to the Root... I will make her the sharpest weapon of Konoha."

Exhaling a puff of smoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo and said, "Is it Konoha's weapon? Or is it the weapon of the Root?"

With just these words, Danzo froze in place.

You have to know that at any time in the past, such words that almost broke off relations would never have happened.

He knew his old friend too well.

The village is more important than anything else in his heart, so he can tolerate the root village and tolerate himself breaking taboos again and again.

I was given the task in a time of crisis, but the teacher did not come back after we broke out from the Land of Thunder.

Under such circumstances, it was simply impossible for him to peacefully succeed the Third Hokage, and he had tried to do so at that time.

But with a series of tactics, this old friend still succeeded three generations steadily and earned the title of Doctor Ninja and the Strongest Hokage.

The strongest is of course just a joke, but getting the name out there was a necessity for development considering the amount of missions Konoha was commissioned to receive at the time.

"Hiruzhan, you..."

"The intelligence from the roots is not very detailed."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said as he stood up, took out the scroll beside him and handed it to Danzo.

"You know very well that Minato is not Sakumo, so you want the Uchiha clan to conflict with him, and possibly other clans in the future. Bloodline and secret techniques are the most important things to each clan, right?"

"As long as the vote of confidence of the jonin class fails, the Fourth Hokage will not fall on the head of an untrusted person."

"Jiraiya and Tsunade have no intention of Orochimaru returning from the Rain Country. It's self-evident what you want to do."

At this time, Danzo had already opened the scroll and was looking through it.

It records in detail the events of the Nine-Tails' rebellion, and should have been narrated by Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato.

Soon, he came to the penultimate paragraph.

[He created his own unmarked ninjutsu, using the Tailed Beast Ball as a prototype. He knocked back the Nine-Tails Chakra that had burst out with eight tails. In the process, he collided with the Tailed Beast Ball, and the impact destroyed the third training ground.]

[During the entire process, under the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Nine-Tailed Fox's attacks all missed except for the first one which caught the target by surprise.]

After just two paragraphs, Danzo understood what this meant.

As a disciple of the Second Hokage, he was well aware of the maneuverability of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In addition, according to the Root intelligence, Minato Namikaze even had some innovations in this ninjutsu, but they were not revealed.

At this moment, he also understood why Sarutobi Hiruzen threatened him.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice sounded again: "Danzo... Minato is not Sakumo."

Yes, Minato Namikaze is completely different from Sakumo Hatake.

Konoha White Fang is obsessed with the glory of ninjas and the glory of his family's past. Such a person has weaknesses no matter how powerful he is.

But Namikaze Minato was different.

His life experience determined that the Golden Flash of Konoha had nothing to carry, and except Uzumaki Kushina, nothing could bind him.

A ninja who has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Unsealed Ninja Technique that can collide with the Tailed Beast Ball, without any restraints, represents unbridledness and the ability to go crazy at any time.

"Understood……"

Danzo turned around but stopped at the door of the office.

"From the moment the child was brought back, you should have handed him over to me. Now it's too late to get rid of it. If something unexpected really happens, you will be held responsible for it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "But now... I am still the Hokage."

"boom."

The door was shut heavily, and Sarutobi Hiruzen sat down again to look through the information everywhere.

The Iwagakure Village suffered heavy casualties from the Flying Thunder God Technique, and the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki have already joined the battle.

After that, Iwagakure turned its attention to Kumogakure, intending to launch a surprise attack and cut off their retreat in the war between them and Konoha.

The Third Raikage single-handedly left the enemy behind, but eventually died of exhaustion.

In this battle, one side lost a shadow, and the other side lost a large number of ninjas.

On the other hand, before the Sand Village became evenly matched with the Kumo Village, Rasa succeeded as the fourth Kazekage and used the Sand Gold Technique inherited from the third Kazekage to equalize their strength.

After Kumogakure was ambushed by Iwagakure, Sandagakure also fought with Kirigakure.

But at this time, with both Iwagakure and Kumogakure suffering heavy losses, both sides chose to cease fire.

After several months of intelligence gathering, Sarutobi Hiruzen was confused. All he could say was that the entire ninja world was in a mess due to the war among the five major ninja villages.

As in the past, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

The four major ninja villages surrounded Konoha. As long as they could block the offensive and show their muscles in the first stage, they would be able to make these guys target their former allies.

"call……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke: "The war...is almost over."

……

In the Land of Hot Springs, Kevin looked at the Sand Ninja who was coming alone not far away.

"The war is almost over."

After muttering to himself, Kevin continued to eat the ramen in front of him.

Compared with Ichiraku Ramen in Konoha, the taste is indeed a bit worse.

However, as a small country, it borders the Land of Fire and is surrounded by the sea on three sides. It is also the first choice for Kirigakure to attack Konoha.

During the Third Ninja World War, this country famous for its hot springs endured the pain of war in silence.

It’s good enough to have a shop open.

At this time, there was a "dong dong dong" sound coming from the upstairs of the shop.

Before a middle-aged woman came down, a voice was heard: "Ninja! Ninja! Close the door!"

The boss who was cooking noodles suddenly dropped his kitchen utensils, turned over and rushed out from the counter.

Several wooden boards used as doors were inserted, but when the last piece was left... the other party had already reached out to stop it.

"Why is it closed?"

"The store is closed." "Then why is he still eating?"

"That was the last one, Master Ninja. I'm so sorry."

Ye Cang frowned and began to retract his outstretched hand.

But by chance, my eyes caught sight of the ingredients on the cupboard.

"Are you lying to me?"

The next moment, just a look and a question made the boss collapse to the ground, and the wooden board fell down and pressed down on him.

"boom."

Ye Cang caught the board, looked outside and saw that there were few people around, then sighed.

"The war is over. I am here to deliver a ceasefire and peace agreement."

The wooden board was placed aside, and Ye Cangjiang walked around the boss and went in: "As an envoy, I will not be targeted, so there will be no fight, and it will not affect you."

At this time, the middle-aged woman who had just collapsed at the stairs in shock also heard these words.

"Is the war...over?"

After mumbling something, he couldn't stop crying.

At this time, Ye Cang finally discovered Kevin.

"How will you be here?"

Kevin turned around and smiled, "Because I want to see what choice you will make when you face your own destiny."

Ye Cang frowned and thought for a moment, then sat down without any hesitation.

Facing the man in front of me, there is no point in running.

And if they wanted to kill me, I would have died in the Rain Country more than two years ago.

As for the fate the other party mentioned...

She came here to submit a peace document and there would be no danger at all.

The Third Shinobi World War began with the disappearance of the Third Kazekage and ended with the death of the Third Raikage.

Over the past two years, the five major ninja villages have all suffered heavy losses, and the end of the war has become inevitable.

The two fell silent.

After a while, a bowl of ramen was served.

"After eating, it's time to get going."

Kevin said as he stood up and prepared to leave, but his words had a deeper meaning.

"In the eyes of ninjas, the people of the Land of Rain and the Land of Hot Spring are as insignificant as ants. This is based on their strength. So if your fate is also decided by a stronger person, will you accept it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.

……

Three days later, in the Land of Water.

As soon as he stepped into the territory, Ye Cang felt something was wrong.

After going deep into a canyon, an accident happened.

"Shhhhh..."

Dense kunai were thrown out, so many that it seemed as if they could cover the people in front of him.

Unexpectedly, Ye Cang's entire back was stabbed with kunai and blood was oozing out of his mouth.

The limitations of the ninja were clearly revealed at this moment. When they were attacked due to lack of vigilance, they had no chance to use Scorch Release or other ninjutsu.

"Shhhhh..."

One by one, the Mist Ninjas appeared in an instant.

Ye Cang fell to the ground, still asking: "Why? The war has already... ceased..."

The leader of the Mist Ninja said, "Foolish man... The war can be stopped because Sunagakure sent you here. Scorch Release Ye Cang, your hands are stained with the blood of the Mist Ninja."

Hearing this, Ye Cang understood.

She was betrayed by the village.

At this time, the man's words echoed in his mind again.

When you face your own destiny, what choice will you make... After you are full, you can start your journey...

"what!"

A roar was heard, and the kunai was clenched and swept across.

He fell again due to excessive blood loss.

Fate, a fate betrayed by the village.

why?
I was a hero in the war, so why was I betrayed by the village? Why?
The next moment, a voice sounded.

"Is this your choice?"

Kevin appeared in front of Ye Cang and looked at her with a smile.

"who?"

"court death!"

"kill him!"

The order was given, and kunai came whistling one after another.

However, with the help of his observation Haki, all of them were easily avoided.

"how come?"

Just as Jiraiya was surprised that Pain's Six Paths could not be attacked by surprise, the Mist Ninja was also surprised at this moment that all the attacks from behind were avoided.

"gentlemen……"

Ye Cang's voice was weak.

But with the word "sir", Kevin knew the other party's answer.

They bent down and stretched out their hands, and the next moment the two of them disappeared from the spot.

……

Ten days later, in the Rain Country, in the office of School No. 1.

"Are you able to get out of bed already?"

Kevin looked at Ye Cang in front of him: "So what do you want to do now?"

Ye Cang looked a little dazed.

In fact, she didn't know what to do.

Return to Sunagakure? That was the village that betrayed her.

Being a traitor and wandering around? That was something she couldn't accept.

The confusion she felt when she knew she was betrayed continued to this day, and she had nowhere to go.

So she came here, a place she had disdained and ridiculed in the past.

"Sir, I want to know why?"

Kevin replied: "The Third Kazekage is missing, and I killed only a few of the Sunagakure high-ranking officials. The power vacuum has made everyone look to that position."

"That position is a hot potato in this war, because someone needs to be held accountable for the losses, even if that person is the one who saves the day in the end."

"Fourth Kazekage Rasa, war hero Scorch Release Yekura, do you think it would be better for them if Rasa took the responsibility and resigned, and you became the Kazekage?"

"Compared to the Fourth Kazekage, you are much easier to control."

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang's pupils shrank slightly.

So is this the reason?
That position...she had never thought about it at all.

"Is this... fate?"

Muttering to herself, this woman who had experienced countless battlefields in the past seemed to have lost her soul.

"You at this moment are not like you were back then when you were swinging the kunai despite knowing you were going to die."
