Chapter 384 Strategic Deterrence
Judging from the current situation, even if Konoha does nothing to the Kumogakure mission and just drives them out, as long as the agreement drawn up by Kumogakure is not signed, Kumogakure will definitely use an excuse to start a full-scale war.
War seems completely inevitable.
"It's good that you're back. How did you learn the Sage Mode?" Minato asked Kakugi with some excitement. Once the war started, Minato, the Hokage, would be in charge of the village, and Kakuzu would be a major force on the front line.
"There's nothing wrong with Sage Mode...but I think maybe we don't need to go into full-scale war." Kakugi thought for a moment and said to Minato.
"Huh? Tell us about it?" Minato suddenly became energetic.
Kakugi smiled mysteriously and asked, "Minato, did you leave your Flying Thunder God mark in Kumogakure Village?"
Minato replied subconsciously: "No, there is something in the Kingdom of Thunder...wait a minute!"
Minato reacted, opened his mouth wide, and said, "What do you want to do?"
"Strategic deterrence." Kazuoki said with a smile.
"I have never been to the north, and there are no coordinates in the Land of Thunder and the Land of Tang, so I can only come here. You take me with you, and together we will attack Yunyin Village and the divine soldiers will descend from the sky!"
"Take me over there, and we'll go directly to the AB team to invite a fight! After showing off your muscles, wait until Kumogakure is willing to negotiate. If he's not willing, he'll be transferred to the God of Thunder, and we'll come a few more times in the future!"
As for the possibility of losing the battle, it is not within Kakugi's consideration at all. Let alone him, even if Minato himself faces the AB combination, he will not fall behind.
"And Kumogakure is not stupid. We only proposed the invitation for negotiation. If there is a war, I will directly greet you with a shower of stars and fire!"
The more Kazumu talked, the more excited he became, and even his eyebrows were beaming. He didn't stop until he noticed Minato's wry smile.
"Yes, a genius idea. As long as we have this kind of asymmetrical battle a few more times, and let Kumogakure see that Konoha's power is one level higher than theirs, Kumogakure will definitely sue for peace." Minato first confirmed Kadomu's opinion. Thoughts, and then said: "But have you ever thought about it, I don't have so much chakra..."
Tsunoki:......
"At the speed of a ninja's emergency march, it will take more than half a month to reach the border of the Kingdom of Thunder from the village. For such a long distance, if I have to take you with me, the chakra consumption will double."
Minato smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid my chakra will be exhausted before we even get there!"
"You really posed a problem for me. In this ninja world, I can't think of anyone else who has so much chakra and can use the flying thunder god's technique to span such a long distance..."
Minato said with a wry smile, then suddenly stopped talking and looked up at Kazuoki.
Of all the people Minato had ever seen, the one with the most chakra was Kushina. Moreover, it was the Kakuzu in front of him who had been dubbed the "Humanoid Tailed Beast" in recent years.
Of course, Kadomu strongly disagrees with this title!
It's not as good as the "Scorching Escaped Hornwood" from back then!
Minato watched Kadomu's eyes getting brighter and brighter, and asked tentatively: "Kadomu, if it were you..."
Kakugi nodded sharply: "Okay! I came back directly from Miaomu Mountain using the Flying Thunder God Technique!"
"Hiss!" Minato gasped. He had been to Mt. Miaomu. The distance from Mt. Miaomu to Konoha was farther than the distance from Konoha to the Land of Thunder!
Only those toads in Miaomu Mountain who have lived for hundreds of years can use water as a medium to greatly reduce the consumption and can use the unique long-distance water technique of toads to span such a distance.
"But, I don't have coordinates in the Kingdom of Thunder! There are no coordinates for me in the nearby Moon Kingdom, the Kingdom of Tang, or even in the northern part of the Kingdom of Fire, which is close to the Kingdom of Tang!" Kakugi spread his hands helplessly.
Whether it is the Flying Thunder God Jutsu or the Hitomi Jutsu Sora Shift, Kadaki needs to have been to this place before he can leave the coordinates. But among the three battles, the only one Kadaki didn't participate in was the battle against Kumogakure.
Watergate:......
Now it was Minato's turn to be speechless.
Without coordinates and just relying on two legs to get there, the raid would be meaningless.
"Actually, it's not impossible. I'll rush over and leave enough coordinates first, and then I'll ask the Raikage for a fight every day. There will always be a time when Kumo Gakure can't stand it." Kakugi held his chin and thought slowly. With.
"No!" Minato waved his hand and refused: "In that case, the risk of action at the beginning will be too great. You may instantly attract Kumogakure's attention after entering the Kingdom of Thunder. If you encounter danger, the gain will outweigh the loss!"
Kadomu is now an indispensable talent in Konoha. Just imagine that once the Ninja War starts again, Minato needs to be in charge of Konoha, so who will go to the battlefield?
Tsunade and Jiraiya traveling abroad? Or the semi-retired Sandaime?
These older generations are considered the foundation of Konoha. Before using their foundation, the younger generation who can carry the weight is Kadaki.
Moreover, Minato didn't know that Kazuoki had a guaranteed pupil technique, Sora Shift, and he really wasn't that confident about Kazuoki's delayed version of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu.
"But..." Kazuoki still wants to fight for it again.
"Let's do this for now!" Minato waved his hand, interrupting Kakugi's next words: "You go home and have a good rest first, let me think about this again..."
Minato immediately issued an order to expel the guests, and Kazuoki had no choice but to leave first.
......
"Son, you are back!"
Kakugi first went to his family's ninja shop. As soon as he walked in, he was greeted by a big hug from his mother.
Umino Xiaozhen ignored the strange looks from the customers in the store and hugged her son tightly, whom she had not seen for more than a year, with tears in her eyes.
Regardless of the fact that there were still customers waiting in the store, my mother closed the door, held Kakugi tightly with her arm, and walked home.
As if he was afraid that Kadomu would disappear.
Not long after returning home, Umino Ikkaku and Iruka returned from a day's mission.
The relationship between father and brother was much more reserved. Umino Ikkaku just patted Kakugi on the shoulder, but they couldn't suppress the smiles on their faces.
Although Kakugi maintained communication with his family during his absence, it was still exciting to meet him after a long time.
My parents have gone through many vicissitudes of life, and some white hair has grown on their foreheads. Suddenly, they are 48 years old.
Iruka is also 15 years old this year. Although he is still a genin, he has matured a lot to the naked eye. He is no longer the little brother who pounces on his older brother when he sees him.
Feeling emotional about the changes in their family, the family had a sumptuous dinner happily.
After dinner, Kakumu was about to help his mother clear the dishes when suddenly someone knocked on the door of the house.
With casual perception, there are two chakras outside the door. Judging from the amount of chakra, one is jounin level and the other...kage level!
Kadomu was stunned for a moment, looking at the darkening sky outside. It was so late, who could it be?
It couldn't be someone from Konoha.
The Konoha ninja who possessed this kind of chakra came to him, knocked on the door and called the door directly.
Kakugi stopped Iruka who was about to open the door, remained alert, and walked to the door carefully.
