183. 5 shadows and 1 pot end

Because of the stupid incident of "Terumi Mountain", everyone in Kirigakure didn't dare to delay any longer, for fear that something would happen halfway.

After repeatedly checking the authenticity of Goju Yagura and confirming it was correct, Kirigakure and his party asked him to take a few guards and set off for Konoha.

Again, this trip is not for fighting, but for negotiation, so the risk is not great, so there is no need to bring too many people to avoid Konoha misunderstanding.

Especially during such a sensitive period, if you set off with a large team, it is easy for people to mistakenly think that you are preparing to lead people to sneak attack on Konoha's base camp.

Once that time comes, it’s hard to explain.

At the border of the Kingdom of Water, at a certain port, there were only a few ships docked with the fog emerging, floating scatteredly on the sea.

Goju Yagura came here with several guards, followed by a large number of Mist ninjas.

Before leaving, Goju Yagura stopped and turned around and said to everyone: "Everyone, I will fulfill my mission during this trip and bring back the Mizukage and the Jinchuriki safely. Just wait for my good news in the village!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Goju Yagura established his presence in front of all the fog ninjas, and his reputation improved a lot compared to before.

It is foreseeable that if he can successfully redeem the Third Mizukage and the two major Jinchuuriki during this trip, then his status in Kirigakure will skyrocket.

By then, even replacing Terumiyama's previous position may not be impossible.

Maybe he will be included in the list of important candidates for the Fourth Mizukage.

With Goji Yagura's current strength and reputation, she is fully qualified for this.

Finally, Goju Yagura focused his eyes on an old figure in front of the team.

This man was stooped and leaning on a cane. His beard and hair were all white, but his face was still rosy and he looked quite energetic.And there are several powerful Jonin around him to protect him at all times.

In addition, the eyes of the people around me are also quite respectful and respectful.

Counting such characters in the entire Kirigakure, apart from Mizukage, there is only one person who fits many of the above descriptions, and that is Kirigakure's "Elder of Three Dynasties" level figure - Genshi.

······

Yes, he is the Yuanshi who hurried over from Kirigakure Village not long ago.

Terumiyama was killed and replaced, and the third generation of Mizukage fell into the hands of Namikaze Enmon. Now in the entire Kirigakure, only Genshi can take charge of the overall situation, so he is here.

Originally, the person who should go to Konoha to negotiate should be Genshi, but considering that he is a bit old and his strength has declined a lot, out of concern for his safety, everyone selected Gouju Yagura. , let him go instead of Yuanshi.

Goji Yagura looked at Yuanshi and said solemnly: "Master Yuanshi, I leave the affairs of the village to you. Please make sure to arrange everything and don't make it difficult for me."

This time, whether it's war reparations or ransom to redeem the Mizukage and Jinchuuriki, Kirigakure is bound to bleed a lot. Who wouldn't be heartbroken to leave such a large sum of money?Therefore, if you want to mobilize such a large amount of money, you must touch the cake of certain people in the village and certain ninja clan.

Since you want to touch other people's cakes, others will definitely try to stop you. Although no one says or does anything on the surface, behind the scenes... everyone understands.

As the saying goes, you don't know how painful it is until you hit yourself with a knife.

Now we just want everyone to express their stance. Of course everyone is happy on the surface, but when you really want to ask them for money, they will definitely resist and find various reasons to shirk.

This kind of thing can be expected by anyone with any brain, so Goji Yagura said such words to Yuanshi.

After all, it is easy for him to negotiate with Konoha, just by talking, but it is not that simple for Yuanshi to raise money from behind.

First, you have to convince the major ninja clans, and then you have to ask for help from the Daimyo of the Land of Water, etc.

Anyway, we are raising money and supplies, and this is the price of failure.

If the Yuanshi can't raise enough money, will Konoha be willing to let him go?

Goju Yagura didn't know, maybe the top management of Konoha was weak and could be bullied, and they were willing to let people go if they didn't have enough money, but... they couldn't gamble.

Therefore, they must scrape together enough money.

And this heavy burden now falls on Master Yuan.

Master Yuan also looked at the baby-faced "Little Douding" in front of him. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm here, no problem."

With just one sentence, Goji Yagura put her hanging heart back into her stomach.

Yes, Master Yuanshi can definitely do it.

"Then let's go." Finally, Goju Yagura said.

Master Yuan smiled and said, "Well, I wish you all the best."

Soon, Goju Yagura boarded the ship with four or five guards, and then the ship slowly sailed out of the port.

······

It wasn't until the ship had gone away that Yuanshi and the others set out to return to Kirigakure Village.

In this way, there were more than 1 fog ninjas when they came out, but when they went back, the number was obviously much smaller, the team was sparse, and morale was low.

After this battle, all the fog ninjas were knocked out of the shadows by Namikaze Enmon, and they may not be able to get out in a short time.

Therefore, during this period, Kirigakure's morale will still be depressed for a while.

On the way, Master Yuan wanted to speak several times, but in the end he still couldn't.

There was no other reason, I didn’t know what to say. Just like a few decades ago, the entire ninja world was overwhelmed by Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, and all the villages couldn’t muster the courage to face Konoha.

This scene now is so similar to before.

I seemed to be like this back then, and Master Yuan couldn't help but be filled with emotion.

Therefore, Genshi also understands that facing such an opponent, no matter what you say, it will all seem very pale. The only thing that can be prayed for is that Namikaze Enmon will die young like Senju Hashirama.

Apart from this, Kirigakure has no other way, unless someone like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara emerges from Kirigakure, so that he can have a chance to compete with Konoha.

"Oh, Konoha is really full of geniuses and talented people."

"It is indeed the village with the best land in the world."

······

at the same time.

Not long after Goju Yagura and others set off, Yanmen received a letter from Kirigakure.

The letter stated that Kirigakure wanted to negotiate with Konoha and hoped that Yanmen could send a team to escort the negotiation team to Konoha to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

Yanmen put down the letter in his hand, leaned back, and then said with a smile: "Kirigakure really surrendered this time."

"Tsk tsk, the Third Mizukage is really lucky to have saved his life."

Nara Shikayu and Kanda Mahide next to them wiped away the non-existent cold sweat. They looked at each other and could see the joy in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, fortunately, Kirigakure's surrender letter came.

You know, before this, Yanmen was already discussing with them whether to chop off Mizukage's remaining hand or directly chop off his head.

After all, they had issued warnings before, but Kirigakure still insisted on attacking them.

Since you are in the first grade of junior high school, don't blame me for being in the fifteenth grade. No, Yanmen always likes to keep his word.

But how can I put it, the third generation Mizukage's luck was so good. Just when Yanmen was about to kill him and send it back to Kirigakure, Kirigakure's letter arrived, which forced Yanmen to stop.

At this moment, Yan Menzheng was looking at the letter on the table with an annoyed look on his face, and said with regret: "Why didn't this letter come a little later? As long as it came a little later, I would have collected the 'two shadows'!" "

Hearing this, Nara Shikayu and Kanda Mahide were ashamed.

Good guy!Do you want to hear what you are saying?You've also collected the "Two Shadows", so what, you're going to serve the "Five Shadows" in one pot! ?

They don't doubt that Yanmen has this strength, but they wonder, is Yanmen going crazy?

I heard that if you kill too many people, you may become mentally disturbed or mentally disturbed. Could it be that...

"hiss--"

Yanmen glanced at them strangely and asked suspiciously: "What are you doing? Why are you taking a breather?"

"Oh, I understand, you also want to kill the Mizukage, right?"

Yanmen slammed the table, stood up suddenly, and said excitedly: "I'm just saying it! Mizukage should be killed. Whoever made them ignore our warning before, we must show them some color!"

"Hmph, it doesn't matter if Mizukage dies, just choose again. Aren't the jinchūriki still there? Don't be afraid."

Yanmen became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, but Nara Shikamaru didn't dare to listen anymore. He quickly stopped Yanmen and said, "Yanmen-kun, we didn't mean that..."

Yanmen raised his hand to stop him and nodded seriously: "No need to say it, I understand. You are afraid that you cannot bear the responsibility. Don't worry, just say it was me. If anything happens, I will take the responsibility."

Nara Shikayu was anxious, "No, just listen to me first."

Yanmen was stunned, "Oh? Then you tell me."

Nara Shikage took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "I don't think it is necessary to be so radical. Hasn't Mizukage already had one of his hands chopped off? Without a hand, his strength will inevitably be greatly reduced. He Now even if I return to Kirigakure, it's hard to say whether I can continue to hold the Mizukage's position."

"And Yanmen-kun, didn't you say before that in the battle between Mizukage and you not long ago, he squeezed his potential in advance, and I'm afraid there isn't much time left. In that case, why not let him go back? By the way, we can also learn from the fog. Make a fortune out of Gakure. I think Kirigakure will definitely be willing to pay a huge price to redeem Mizukage."

Nara Shikage's idea is very simple. Anyway, the strength of the third Mizukage has been greatly reduced, and time is running out, so why not take a big hit from Kirigakure's hand and squeeze out his remaining value.

Konoha is making money on both sides, and Nara Shikayu thinks this deal is worth doing.

Hearing Nara Shikage say this, Enmon wanted to say to him, "But even if it's Mizukage's body, Kirigakure is willing to pay for it."

However, Enmon thought about it carefully and finally nodded in agreement with Nara Shikayu's statement.

Compared to killing the Third Mizukage now, the value of putting him back is indeed greater.

······

After receiving Enmon's nod, both Nara Shikayu and Kanda Mahide breathed a sigh of relief. If Enmon really insisted on killing the Third Mizukage, they really couldn't stop him.

Fortunately, Yanmen's spirit is still normal and he doesn't really want to gather all the "Five Shadows".

Thinking of this, the two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Yanmen said again: "Then let's talk about it, who is more suitable to send to escort?"

After thinking for a while, Kanda Mahide stood up: "How about I go?"

Not to mention, Kanda Mahide is really suitable.

First of all, it was impossible for Uchiha Fugaku, with his cold face all day long, he might start a fight with the Kirigakure team.

Secondly, Hinata Hinashi is not suitable. He is a member of the clan, and his eyes are stared at by countless people. If Kirigakure takes risks...

Therefore, Hyuga Hizashi can also be excluded, and apart from the two of them, Yanmen has few elite jonin under his command.

Nara Shikayu on the side agreed: "I think it's okay. In addition, I think we can add one more person."

Enmon raised his eyebrows slightly, and quickly guessed who Nara Shikayu wanted to say: "You mean Hinata Hizashi?"

Nara Shikayu was not surprised that Enmon could guess it. He said calmly: "Yes, it is Hinata Hizashi. His Byakugan can just make up for the shortcomings in investigation. With him, the team will be much safer."

The truce between Kirigakure and Konoha is something that many forces do not want to see, such as Kumogakure and Iwagakure. If they can, they will definitely send people to destroy it.

Therefore, Yanmen must ensure the safety of Goju Yagura and others. At the very least, they cannot let anything happen to them in the Land of Fire. Otherwise, once something happens, it will be difficult to explain clearly.

Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, the selection of the escort team must be careful.

Yanmen touched his chin and finally nodded: "Okay, then add him. In addition, send a few more jounin, special jounin, to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Now that Kirigakure has chosen to surrender, if nothing unexpected happens, the war on their side is over, so their manpower is immediately freed up, and they are not afraid of running out of manpower.

"Oh, by the way, it's best to bring one or two Uchihas with you, um, someone with a relatively good temper." Yanmen gave another instruction.

Uchiha's temper is not very good, but he can't stand up to his strength. Yanmen can't let such a good labor force go unused.

Nara Shikayu nodded: "I understand, I will make arrangements later."

"Oh, and, Enmon-kun, do you want to meet Kirigakure's negotiating team?"

Yanmen looked slightly sideways and asked, "Who is in the team?"

Nara Shikayu handed over a list: "This is their list."

Yanmen took it and took a look. The first thing that caught his eye was Goji Yagura's name and his mugshot.

Yanmen was slightly surprised, it was him, the future Yondaime Mizukage...

Enmon remembered that after Harano Rin, the new three-tailed jinchuriki was Goju Yagura himself. In order to seal the three-tails, he, a water shadow, was willing to become a jinchuriki, but he could also be regarded as a responsible water shadow.

It's a pity... I still can't escape the tragic ending of being controlled by others.

Well, the same fate as the Third Mizukage.

But in serious calculation, Gotachibana Yagura is much worse than the Third Mizukage. After all, the title of Blood Mist was obtained by Gotachibana Yagura during his reign.

Although this was not his original intention, who knew at the beginning.

But those are all original works. It’s hard to say whether Goju Yagura will repeat the same mistakes in the future.After all, the Third Mizukage has learned from the past here. I believe that when the Third Mizukage returns, there will definitely be a showdown with the senior management of Kirigakure.

After that, Kirigakure will definitely be on guard against this matter, so it’s hard to say whether the future will be like the original.

Anyway, Uchiha Madara's current successor has become Uchiha Kaede, and the Harano Lin incident will most likely not happen.

If that's the case, it's actually a good thing.

After thinking about it, a strange color flashed in Yanmen's eyes. It would be nice to meet this wolfberry Yagura.

It's a pity that I can't tell Goji Yagura that I unintentionally changed his destiny and saved his life.
