Chapter 353: The reaction of the four major ninja villages, Danzo lost the cake
On the coastal border of the Land of Fire, the Mist Ninjas who had sneaked into the Land of Fire in small teams had just completed a large-scale Mist Ninja Technique.

The fog was thick and figures flashed by in it.

"Shh..."

A figure rushed out, and the next moment the Mist Ninja showed a look of surprise on his face.

no one?

wrong……

Just as he was about to ask his companions to retreat, a golden flash appeared three meters to his right.

"puff."

Blood splattered in the shadows, and the Mist Ninja who had just rushed in turned into a pool of clear water and fell to the ground.

"how come?"

The Kirigakure jonin, who had sneaked in using his water clone and whose real body was hiding in the darkness, didn't even have the chance to form a hand seal and was killed in an instant.

He covered his neck and uttered only three words. After the air entered his trachea, he could no longer speak and fell to the ground.

But the golden flash behind him had long disappeared.

……

"There's an ambush! Retreat!"

"It's golden glitter!"

When the shout was heard, the spell appeared on the Flying Thunder God Kunai buried in the grass and tree trunks near the Konoha outpost.

"Shh."

Once again, blood splattered.

At this moment, Kirigakure has already completed the seal.

Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
Near the border of the sea, the power of this ninjutsu, which consumes a large amount of chakra, is amplified.

The sea water condensed into shape and rushed towards Minato Namikaze from behind like three giant dragons.

However, the light was fleeting, and under the impact, the trees collapsed like the center of a vast ocean. Apart from the bodies of the companions who floated up, there was no one else.

"Space-time Ninjutsu! It's Space-time Ninjutsu!"

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

"If you encounter a golden flash, you can abandon the mission!"

……

The Mist Ninjas below the jonin were already panicking, facing an enemy that even the jonin leading the team could not hit, coupled with the name of Golden Flash...

They can't stay calm.

"Om..."

Qing, who was wearing an eyepatch, swallowed.

There were eight jonin who stayed beside him.

They were more surprised at the other party's perception than their less experienced subordinates.

"Water clones are useless."

"An attack from behind will also be detected."

"This kind of perception combined with space-time ninjutsu and the reaction speed of the golden flash itself... there is no way to fight it."

The moment the words fell, Namikaze Minato appeared behind one of them.

He swung the kunai in his hand, but his body turned around in an instant.

The Rasengan in his left hand had already taken shape, and he suddenly pressed it towards the main body behind him.

"boom!"

The water clone shattered, and the main body spun and smashed out, with its back exploded directly, and blood mist filled the air.

"asshole!"

With a roar, the water under his feet surged out.

It formed a round sphere, and the chakra flowed in an attempt to trap Minato.

Water escape: the art of water prison.

"too slow."

The voice of Minato Namikaze was heard, followed by a cloud of blood mist.

Whether it is the Water Dragon Technique or the Water Prison Technique, with the coordination of Observation Haki and Flying Thunder God, it is too slow for him to form hand seals.

Just half an hour later, Minato Namikaze appeared in front of Qing again.

The leader of the Kirigakure team did not run away, nor did they take any action. He just waited until the battle was over.

"You can see through the clones?"

"The water clone's abilities are enhanced in watery places, but it cannot be too far away from the main body."

Minato looked at Qing: "So from the beginning of the operation, your real body has always been left behind and dared not approach. Is such an invasion... meaningful?"

Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not answer Minato's question.

Instead, he continued, "The Golden Flash of Konoha is a civilian ninja, and this has long been known to all ninja villages. But how can you, who don't have the Byakugan, detect attacks from all directions?"

"Is Namikaze a surname? No, there has been no ninja with this surname since the founding of Konoha, so it is a secret technique instead of a bloodline?"

At this moment the radio on Minato's chest rang.

"Area 6 is being invaded by the Mist Ninja."

"almost there."

After hanging up the radio, Namikaze Minato exhaled and said, "Kirigakure knows exactly what happened, but it is also true that countries cannot reason with each other... Therefore, the only way to welcome peace is to scare you away."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato disappeared.

At the same time, Qing's water clone also shattered and fell to the ground.

……

Four days later, a high-level meeting of the Hidden Mist Village was held.

"how is this possible?"

"Just a golden flash blocked all the teams at the border?"

"Even the Third Raikage had a moment of exhaustion and death. Doesn't he need to rest?"

"This war must continue until Konoha returns the Three-Tails!"

"Keep sending reinforcements! We must fight!"

"I don't believe that Konoha would go to all-out war with Kirigakure just for an ordinary civilian Chunin!"

"The other three ninja villages are watching! As long as Konoha suffers any losses, they will definitely be the ones to suffer!"

……

At this time, the old man sitting in the highest seat kowtowed.

Despite his aged body, he represents the oldest seniority in Kirigakure.

"That kid Ohnoki... will he target us? Or Konoha?"

"I don't want to discuss the plan of the Three-Tails to attack Konoha now, but the current Three-Tails Jinchuriki is still a disciple of Minato Namikaze."

"Cough cough cough..."

Master Yuan coughed for a long time, but no one interrupted.

After a while, the old man looked up and said, "Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was once known as the Ninja Hero, I thought he was old. But now it seems... he actually dares to gamble."

"I'm sure you've all read the information Qing brought back..."

"Stop the action against Konoha and send the information to the other three villages. The power of space-time ninjutsu and perception combined with the unmarked ninjutsu is not small... This golden flash has the power to destroy the situation."

Upon hearing this, several high-ranking officials of Kirigakure became a little anxious.

"But Sanwei..."

"Master Marshal, Three Tails..."

"Boom."

The cane tapped the ground and all sounds quieted down.

"The tailed beasts are just weapons."

……

Iwagakure Village, meeting room.

Oonoki looked at the intelligence scroll in his hand and let out a breath after a long moment.

"Let the fifty-eight teams heading to the border to prepare for the battle withdraw."

The order was given and no one objected.

Compared to the Master, Ōnoki's prestige in Iwagakure is obviously greater. An Anbu went down to convey the order, and the meeting then discussed the contents of the intelligence.

"He was able to stop more than ten teams from Kirigakure with his own strength. The importance of space-time ninjutsu over individual strength is self-evident."

"With such a strong opponent blocking the way, it is foreseeable that Kirigakure will give up the Three-Tails."

"That Chunin disciple seems to be very important to the golden flash. We can use this to our advantage in the future."

"Earth escape ninjutsu can strengthen an individual's defense. Traps combined with sneak attacks may not be enough to kill him."

"The Three-Tails plus the Nine-Tails, and the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique. In terms of the tailed beasts, Konoha is stronger after this war."

At this time, there was a knock on the conference room door.

A piece of intelligence was sent in.

"Lord Tsuchikage, the intelligence scroll that Kirigakure publicly gave to each ninja village."

"public?"

Oonoki opened the scroll and soon frowned.

"Click."

There was a sound of pain in his lumbar spine, but Oonoki ignored the pain and continued to look at the information in his hand.

“Perception…”

No, it is definitely not perception.

Just like the Byakuyan's 360-degree field of vision, it can avoid all attacks and even see through water clones.

So what about the earth clone?

In addition, while seeing through the clone, the real body hidden in the dark can also be found.

This is definitely not just a simple perception.

"Lord Tsuchikage."

"have a look."

The scroll was passed around, and soon everyone was frowning and thinking.

The power of an individual can sometimes really change the situation of war in this world, such as the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and Uchiha Madara.

Ohnoki will never forget...

That night, because of the words of the First Hokage, he believed in the so-called peace and conversation, and foolishly questioned the superior man.

As a result… facing the humiliation, the teacher could only keep quiet.

"Boundary Class."

"exist."

"From now on, the development direction of the barrier team will be only one: that is to restrict Namikaze Minato's space-time ninjutsu."

"clear."

……

A volume of intelligence from Kirigakure made the three villages understand its intention almost at the same time.

A space-time ninjutsu with mobility equivalent to teleportation, able to avoid attacks, see through the perception of the clones and the main body, and a powerful ninjutsu without the need for hand seals...

When these three are combined, there seems to be no way to fight against them.

Even if they were to pile up human lives like they did when besieging the Third Raikage, the opponent's Flying Thunder God could withdraw at any time.

In this situation, even Ai, who had just succeeded the Fourth Raikage, was also aware of its destructiveness and potential for stealing.

Originally, the three major ninja villages were waiting for both sides to suffer losses, and they would even dare to pounce and take a bite of the flesh as long as there were casualties in Konoha.

but now……

Jiraiya, Tsunade, Uchiha and Hyuga, the forces of Konoha were on guard against them.

Golden Flash even blocked an entire village at the border by himself. Considering his identity as a Chunin, his intentions are self-evident.

If you want him to hand over his disciples, then you must be prepared to be attacked by him.

All of a sudden, all the enemies who were waiting outside the border line quietly evacuated.

……

A month later, Kirigakure's armistice agreement was delivered.

At the same time, the news about the heroic act of one man against the entire village spread like wildfire, and everyone was discussing the birth of a powerful hero in the village: Minato Namikaze.

Namikaze Minato, who had already returned to the village, looked at the book that his teacher had given him three days ago.

[If you don’t occupy the position of public opinion, your enemies will naturally occupy it]

A class three days ago made him understand the importance of communication channels.

As a representative of the civilian ninjas, he had no better way to brag and talk nonsense than on the notice board at the entrance of the Hokage Building.

Of course, after becoming the Fourth Hokage, the importance of the bulletin board must be utilized.

After reading the booklet for the nineteenth time in three days, Minato Namikaze closed his eyes.

The gentleman's words echoed in my mind again.

"It's hard to accomplish something, but it's very easy to destroy it. It's enough to just spread some one-sided words intentionally."

"After Sarutobi Hiruzen made his decision, there should have been rumors in the village."

Namikaze Minato remembered the information brought to him by the Hyuga branch after he went to the border.

During those days, word spread in the village that Rin, being Minato Namikaze's disciple, was determined to keep the power of the tailed beast for herself, regardless of whether the village would go to war again.

At the same time, the elite Jonin also disregarded the overall situation and, for the benefit of himself and his disciples, forced the Hokage to compromise in the name of war heroes.

Even Teacher Jiraiya was dragged into the public opinion, and the purpose is self-evident.

After the encounter, the teacher's classes were not interrupted.

Therefore, Namikaze Minato used his connections to spread another version of the story to the entire village, centered on a larger number of civilians.

[Today it's her, tomorrow it's me, and the day after tomorrow it's you? Are the lives of civilian ninjas not worth mentioning? ]

[Namikaze Minato, the only civilian genius, is about to be shot down into the dust again. ]

[Was peace achieved through fighting? Or was it achieved by sacrificing civilian ninjas?]

[Data from the archives storage room, comparison of the number of civilian ninja deaths and the number of clan ninja deaths during the three Ninja World Wars.]

Starting with the above words, conspiracy theories prevailed in Konoha for a month.

You have to know that there are conflicts between the ninja clan and the civilians.

The second generation Hokage founded a ninja school, but the ninjas from the ninja clan had unspeakable advantages over the civilian ninjas among the graduates of each batch.

The basics of the Three Body Techniques, as well as the embarrassment of teaching Chunins only one or two ninjutsu, are in themselves an unfairness of resources.

For a moment, the previous public opinion was quickly suppressed or even disappeared without a trace.

And as Minato Namikaze fought against Kirigakure single-handedly and finally the peace agreement of Kirigakure was delivered, this wind became even stronger.

A strong man born into a common family, the only one of his kind to stand out.

At the same time, for the sake of his disciples, he can fight against a member of the ninja village alone.

The reputation of the name Golden Flash among the civilian ninjas of Konoha has reached a terrifying level.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door and Uzumaki Kushina ran in.

After the war, the two's wedding was scheduled.

This month, Kushina's emotions were also fluctuating in the sealing barrier. She was furious when she heard that Minato was slandered, and she personally overthrew the two roots of the spread.

If the Hokage's direct Anbu had not informed Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo would probably have arrested people directly.

"Minato, what are you looking at?"

"The homework the teacher gave me will be questioned in the next class."

Kushina looked curious, "I want to meet that gentleman as well, but we need to go furniture shopping today to decorate our new home."

Minato nodded and put the book away before heading out with Kushina.

……

And underground in Konoha, at the root.

"Such a method..."

"Such a method is definitely not something Hiruzen could do! And certainly not one of his two disciples!"

Danzo's voice was filled with suppressed anger.

He didn't care even though he was removed from his position as consultant, and was even very satisfied with his own arrangements at one point.

He was surprised by the support of Uchiha and Hinata, but it did not affect the overall situation.

But in the end… all expectations were dashed.
