Chapter 322 The "big conspiracy" affecting the entire ninja world!
Konoha, Hokage Building.
"Kirigakure wants to surrender?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head from the pile of scroll information and looked at the Konoha ANBU kneeling in front of him with some surprise.
The contact message sent from Kirigakure Village was of course not a "letter of surrender", but the so-called "Kirigakure-Konoha Armistice Agreement" that had been beautified.
Of course, in the eyes of Hiruzen Sarutobi, this "truce agreement" is not much different from surrendering.
Since the Third Ninja World War, every village has suffered varying degrees of damage. The big countries behind the five major ninja villages have also lost huge strategic resources. As for the strategic losses of small ninja villages and small countries, it goes without saying. .
Even ninjas who are used to seeing life and death, no one wants to see war break out endlessly.
The Third Ninja War will end sooner or later.
But what Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't expect was that Kirigakure would be the first to surrender.
what is this?
Kirigakure was obviously the latest to join the battlefield, but they were the earliest to withdraw.
Didn't he just lose a ninja troop, a top ninja combination, and a tailed beast...?
"Ahem."
Hiruzen Sarutobi touched his goat's beard, coughed twice, and asked the ANBU ninja.
"Did Kirigakure send an envoy here? Or did they just send a piece of information?" "Let me tell you,
Hokage-sama, the envoys sent by Kirigakure Village are waiting at the entrance of the village. There are four people in total."
The ANBU ninja kept his head lowered . , reported in a calm tone.
"Do we need to bring the four Kirigakure ninjas to the Hokage Building?"
"Bring them here."
Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment.
"In addition, let the two elders Mito Kaden and Koharu Koharu come to the Hokage's office together."
If the "surrender conditions" of Kirigakure Village are acceptable enough, Sarutobi Hiruzen also plans to sign a peace agreement with the other party.
It is true that the Konoha family has great achievements, but the war has lasted long enough.
Moreover, Konoha fights on many fronts.
On the surface, the losses of the Fire Country are not comparable to those of other countries (and this is actually the case), but the strategic resources that have been consumed are also an astronomical figure.
If possible, Sarutobi Hiruzen hopes that the Third Ninja War can come to an end today!
"Yes! Hokage-sama!"
Anbu bowed his head in response, and his figure disappeared instantly.
Not long after, Mito Kadoen and Koharu, who had transferred to the dormitory, arrived at the Hokage's office hand in hand.
After a while, four Kirigakure ninjas were also brought to the Hokage Building by ANBU.
Due to its special geographical location, Kirigakure Village has always had relatively few connections with other countries and villages.
When the second generation Mizukage Kiden Gengetsu was in power, Kirigakure Village also pursued the so-called "secrecy law" policy to the outside world.
Since the implementation of the "Secrecy Law", Kirigakure Village can almost be said to be "secluded". Not only the several countries on the mainland and the Ninja Village, but even the people of the Water Kingdom are not clear about the general trends of Kirigakure Village. .
For the Hidden Mist Village, most people now only have four words left
in their impression - the Bloody Mist.
As high-level officials in Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Koharu and Mito Kadenen must know more about information about Kirigakure than most people in the ninja world.
But looking at the four Kirigakure ninjas who entered the Hokage's office, a hint of surprise flashed through the eyes of Sarutobi and Hiruzen.
The ages of these four Kirigakure ninjas seem a bit too young, right? Just like children...
Can they really represent the Third Mizukage and the will of Kirigakure Village?
"Messenger of Kirigakure."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes swept over the four Kirigakure ninjas one by one, and finally focused on the little ninja standing at the front.
"I am Hiruzen Sarutobi. I heard... you have brought news of peace?"
The little ninja who was stared at by Hiruzen Sarutobi, Goju Yagura, took a step forward and bowed respectfully. , while holding up the agreement scroll prepared in advance and the handwritten letter of the Third Mizukage.
"Dear Lord Third Hokage."
Gouju Yagura stood up, still holding the two scrolls in his hands, and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner.
"I am Gotachibana Yagura, the ANBU chief of Kirigakure. These three are my subordinates, Kito Mangetsu, Momochi Zabuza, and Terumi Mei. "
This is the armistice agreement drawn up by Kirigakure.
"In addition, this secret letter written by the Third Mizukage-sama himself, he asked me to hand it over to you. According to the Third Generation's previous instructions, this secret letter involves a huge conspiracy involving the entire ninja world. ."
The information revealed by Goji Yagura was more shocking than the last.
This little man is actually the ANBU chief of Kirigakure Village?
Is Kirigakure really planning to negotiate peace?
What other big conspiracy is there?
Compared with the several pieces of information revealed by Goju Yagura, the names and identities of his three subordinates are not worth mentioning.
The descendant of the Oni Lan clan, the Oni who shocked Kirigakure, and an... unknown little girl.
It seems that there are not many mistakes in the guess just now. Kirigakure actually sent a few children here...
These three, at least the first two, Kiden Mangetsu and Momochi Zabuza, are all about the same age as Hatake Kakashi. A similar ninja, but a little too young at this age...
Mito Kadoyan and Koharu, who was sleeping, exchanged silent glances.
Sarutobi Hiruzen gave a hand signal.
An ANBU ninja flashed out of the shadows, took the two scrolls from Goju Yagura's hands, and handed them directly to the former without any inspection during the process.
Sarutobi Hiruzen first opened the truce agreement sent by Kirigakure Village.
'This is really just an ordinary armistice. '
Sarutobi Hiruzen read the scroll word for word, for fear of missing a word.
'Kirigakure really wants an armistice, and he doesn't want to use the name of an armistice, but there is no war compensation... Ha! '
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes narrowed slightly, focusing on a line of small words on the armistice agreement -
"Kirigakure hopes that Konoha will transfer the three-tailed Isoho back to the hands of the Kingdom of Water."
This is what this armistice agreement says. The only request from Kirigakure Village.
To be honest, it didn't exceed Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectations.
Although, he didn't intend to accept this request from Hidden Kiri Village. Now the three tails have been sealed into Kakashi Hatake's body.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also heard that the relationship between Hatake Kakashi and the three-tailed beasts was pretty good, and that the use of the tailed beast's chakra was satisfactory, with almost no signs of going berserk or losing control.
Sarutobi Hiruzen would have given the Three-Tails back to Kirigakure only if he had lost his mind and gone crazy!
You can’t even pay for it!
Sarutobi Hiruzen folded up the scroll of the armistice agreement that he had read and handed it to Mito Kaden and Koharu who were standing aside.
He called these two elders here not because he wanted them to act as "mascots."
In addition to symbolically expressing Konoha's democracy, it was also for the two elders to check for leaks and fill in the gaps.
Although the peace agreement drawn up by the Kirigakure Village was not as harsh as imagined...
while Mito Kadoyan and Koharu Tanzania were reading the armistice agreement scroll.
Sarutobi Hiruzen opened another "Mizukage Secret Message" unhurriedly.
However, the beginning of this secret letter gave the Third Hokage a big "surprise"!
"The Third Hokage personally stated:
"Uchiha Madara has used genjutsu to control Kirigakure for many years——" The
first two lines of the Mizukage's secret letter suddenly made Sarutobi Hiruzen's very relaxed mood suddenly turn into an extremely heavy one.
This letter The content is so strange...
Are I dazzled...
or is the peace agreement in Kirigakure Village actually just a dream?
Sarutobi Hiruzen calmly closed the secret message scroll in his hand, raised his eyes and looked ahead. Looking at the silent Goju Yagura.
Seeing the Third Hokage's gaze, Goju Yagura twitched the corner of his mouth and forced a very stiff smile on his small face.
The content written on this secret letter from the Third Mizukage, Gotachibana Yagura also knew it.
But not through letters.
To be precise, the shocking revelation that "the Mizukage has been controlled and played with by Uchiha for more than ten years" was personally informed by the third Mizukage to Gotachibana Yagura! For some reason
.
Regarding the horrifying news that "Mizukage was controlled by someone using a fantasy world", Gotachibana Yagura had a strange feeling of empathizing with him, as if he had encountered the same thing somewhere... When he first heard the
news At that time, Goju Yagura didn't want to believe it at all.
He would rather believe that the third Mizukage was a tyrant with cholera Kirigakure. He
didn't want to believe that the third Mizukage was a loser who was being played with!
The dignified Mizukage was controlled by illusion, It will take more than ten years...
This kind of thing is nothing short of a devastating psychological blow to the ninjas born in Kirigakure Village.
Ninjas who can become "kage", almost without exception, are all from this village. The strongest one at a certain time.
The third generation Mizukage was able to take over the throne after the second generation Mizukage was assassinated.
This is not simply because he was the subordinate of the first generation Mizukage many years ago. He also accompanied the first-generation Mizukage to participate in the first Five Kage Conference, and he was experienced enough in terms of experience and qualifications.
Simply because after the death of Oniden Gengetsu, the third-generation Mizukage was strong enough!
At least better than all the other Kirigakure ninjas at that point in time They are even stronger!
This is like after the death of the first generation Mizukage Byakuren, Kiden Gengetsu relied on his powerful fighting talent and fighting strength to reach the top of Kirigakure Village and became the second generation Mizukage.
Kiden Gengetsu is stronger than the third generation Mizukage The shadow is stronger, so he is the second generation Mizukage!
Otherwise, the person
who became the second generation Mizukage then should be the third generation Mizukage today! The
original Five Kage Talks, its initiator and host were naturally from Konoha Senju Hashirama.
However, those who participated in the Five Kage Conference were almost all the "first generation Kage" of each major country, as well as the heirs recognized by them! The
only one who participated in the first Five Kage Conference, but did not become a "second generation Kage" , there is only the Third Mizukage from Kirigakure Village...
Goju Yagura, who was born in Kirigakure and has great ambitions, of course knows that the Third Mizukage is not strong enough.
But this "not strong" is placed in the "Kage" "This level!
In other words,
when the third generation Mizukage failed to become the second generation of Kirigakure Village, it was not because he was too weak, but because the ghost lamp Genzuki was too strong at that time! But even so, the third generation Mizukage failed to become the second generation of Kirigakure Village
. After the death of Oniden Genzuki, Kage successfully took over Kirigakure Village and became the third generation...
However, such a third generation was actually controlled by others for more than ten years?
Gotachibana Yagura didn't want to believe it at all!
Not to mention that according to the Third Mizukage, the one who controls him is Uchiha Madara, the legendary Uchiha Madara!
Gotachibana Yagura doesn't look too old, but in fact he is a ninja contemporary with Namikaze Minato. (Personal speculation)
Even if Kirigakure Village has been isolated from the world for a long time.
Goju Yagura has also heard about the deeds of the First Hokage, and clearly knows that the First Hokage killed a contemporary legend named Uchiha Madara in the battle at the Valley of the End.
Even in Kirigakure Village, Uchiha Madara is a "historical ghost".
As a result, someone suddenly said that not only was Uchiha Madara not dead, but he had also used genjutsu to toy with Kirigakure for more than ten years.
And even transformed Kirigakure from the Five Ninja Villages into the sensational Blood Mist?
Goji Yagura, I don’t want to believe it!
But after the Third Mizukage presented evidence and told the facts, especially after he let Gotachibana Yagura personally explore his physical condition.
Only then did Goju Yagura have to admit a fact:
the body of the third Mizukage was indeed full of traces of other people's chakra...
As the ANBU chief of Kirigakure Village, after learning that his own Mizukage had been secretly controlled by someone for ten years, A few years after this incident, the first thought that came to Goju Yagura's mind was to cover up the truth.
Don't let the family scandal be publicized!
However, the Third Mizukage planned to inform the Third Hokage of Konoha about this "family scandal"!
When he first learned about this matter, Goju Yagura actually refused.
He is willing to go to Konoha as a representative to sign an armistice agreement with the Fire Nation.
But I really don’t want to tell Konoha about my scandal!
That was really embarrassing...
However, the Third Mizukage finally succeeded in convincing Gotachibana Yagura.
From the perspective of Goju Yagura, the third kage in his village has been toyed with for more than ten years. It is really "I'm sorry that I was born a kage".
But if you look at it from the perspective of the Third Mizukage...
In the ninja world, is the Kirigakure family really the only one who suffered harm?
What was the direct trigger of the Third Ninja War?
The Third Kazekage, hailed as "the strongest in history" by Sand Hidden Village, unexpectedly disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown!
And the war is still going on.
The third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village and the third Raikage of Kumogakure Village were all "accidentally missing and their whereabouts are unknown"!
There is not one, not two, third-generation shadows who "mysteriously disappeared".
But three!
The Third Mizukage had good reasons and sufficient evidence to believe it.
The next leader of the Ninja Village who may "accidentally disappear and his whereabouts remain unknown" is Konoha's Third Hokage - Sarutobi Hiruzen!
In this major event that affected the five major villages in the ninja world at the same time, and was also related to the leaders of the five villages in the ninja world.
The "little scandal" in Kirigakure Village seemed so unworthy of mention.
The top priority is not to cover up the scandal, but to concentrate on dealing with Uchiha Madara hiding in the dark!
Gotachibana Yagura's age...is indeed unknown.
But in "Boruto", Goju Yagura has a grandson.
And considering the identity of the fourth Mizukage of Goju Yagura.
If he was born in the same era as his master...
If you calculate it this way, there would be a grandson during the "Boruto" period. It seems that the time coincides with it?
