Chapter 598 Difficult Decision

"Invite me to the Iron Country for peace talks?"

Listening to Shisui's words, Namikaze Minato slowly narrowed his eyes.

"Yes."

"Where's that Yu-nin?"

"Gone." Shisui answered truthfully.

"Leaving?" Namikaze Minato frowned. "Did the ANBU chief of Yunin Village come here just to tell this news? Doesn't he have any other purpose?"

"Maybe...just to show that person's sincerity..." Hesitantly, Zhisui said.

"..."

Namikaze Minato frowned, regretting for the first time that he had not given up his identity and personally visited the ANBU chief of Yunin Village.

Although he keenly felt that the peace talks might just be Shangguan Mo's way of trying to gain benefits from Konoha, but if Konoha could avoid war, even if he suffered a small loss temporarily, he could grit his teeth and endure it!

As Naruto grew up, Namikaze Minato had to admit that he no longer had the determination to fight Shangguan Cuyu!

As for the more than two thousand Konoha ninjas who died tragically, what could he do? ?

We can't let Naruto be without a father, right?

"Meetings? Taking place in the Iron Country?"

Mito Menyan frowned, seeming to be thinking deeply about the metaphor.

"Indeed, the Tang ninja named Watanabe Mousse has a very upright attitude. He also made it clear that their Kokage has no intention of conflict with the Fire Country. The previous incident that destroyed the northern Konoha camp was not What they Tang Ninja did was done by people from the Akatsuki organization in the Rain Country. He also said that... the first-generation Kokage just hoped to re-establish something through some means... "

Shisui answered truthfully.

Hearing this, Minato took a deep breath, with a look of awe on his face.

It is said that the ninja with the Samsara Eye in the Land of Rain is still a disciple of Jiraiya. They had heard about it from Danzo a few years ago.

Although Danzo kept silent about that operation, dozens of root ninjas were wiped out. This was a fact that could not be concealed no matter what.

Namikaze Minato and the two consultant elders looked at each other, and the doubts in their hearts were finally solved.

"It turns out to be the power of the Samsara Eye..."

If some kind of psychic beast from Shangguan Mo had the power to destroy a medium-sized town with one blow, then it would just be enough to attack Konoha directly. Why bother to test public opinion?

There's absolutely no need for that.

"Now it seems more like Shangguan Mo and the Samsara Eye strongman from the Kingdom of Rain reached some kind of agreement, but in a blink of an eye, Shangguan Mo sold this one..."

Namikaze Minato's heart felt like a bright mirror.

Mito Monoyan soon showed a look of surprise on his face, and turned to look at the old man next to him.

"It seems that this attack is just the ninja with the Samsara Eye seeking revenge for the previous Danzo incident..."

"Then speaking of which, the death of more than two thousand Konoha ninjas this time must be blamed on that guy Danzo?!"

Thinking of this, Xiaochun's face suddenly became congested when he went to bed.

"That idiot! It's just that he failed the mission! He also brought disaster to the village!"

The corner of Namikaze Minato's mouth twitched, and a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.

The more than two thousand Konoha ninjas stationed in the northern camp of the Country of Fire all year round are all elite ninjas who have experienced battles for a long time! Not some cannon fodder genin!

But just because of Danzo's private action, they were buried in their own country without any effect!

"From this point of view, the so-called Xiao organization is just a chess piece that has been used! The person behind the chess game is still Shangguan Mo!"

Namikaze Minato lowered his head slightly, with a serious look on his face.

The real key issue now is to figure out what Shangguan Mo wants! ?

At this time, the Fire Country Daimyo, who had been unable to get anything in, asked in a low voice.

"So, Hokage-dono, are you ready to agree to go to the Iron Country for talks?"

Deep down, he was looking forward to the negotiations.

After all, once a war breaks out, it will have an extremely serious impact on the Fire Nation's economy.

Even if they lose again, they, the nobles of the Fire Country, will also face the threat of those powerful psychic beasts!

Although his Daming Palace also supports many ninjas, they can be used for self-protection, but it is undoubtedly a fantasy to use them to deal with enemies that cannot even defeat Konoha.

Faced with the daimyo's innocent question.

The grumpy Koharu who went to bed suddenly fell into silence, and even Minato was the same, because he really couldn't afford to lose face!

Not long ago, Yu Ninja Village was just a small country, but now one word will make the majestic Hokage go to the Kingdom of Iron. If you say it, it will bring shame to Konoha!

It will have a great impact on Konoha's prestige. People from all countries in the ninja world will never regard Konoha as the number one ninja village in the ninja world!

"How about... let me go!"

Mito Kadoyan, who had been silent all this time, raised his head and said these words with a firm expression.

"Menyan! You?"

After sleeping, Xiaochun's expression changed and she looked at him in surprise.

Although Mito Kaden was originally the Minister of Foreign Affairs, after all, he was facing the country of Yu, which is also a big country. Although Mito Kaden's status as a consultant elder of Konoha Village was not low, if he went to the Iron Country for a meeting , the person facing Tang Yin will inevitably have to lower his head.

Not only did he not have the confidence to speak, but he was also unable to make any decisions on behalf of Namikaze Minato, the Hokage.

But Mito Menyan explained it this way.

"Right now, Konoha is facing huge challenges. After years of war, the people of the Fire Country are extremely thirsty for peace! Konoha also urgently needs a stable development environment. If we can give up some of our interests in exchange for a period of peace, development Ninja power, regain the position of Konoha's number one ninja village!"

Mito Kadenyan is convinced that this is the most beneficial solution for the Fire Country and Konoha.

No one understands better than these high-level officials of Konoha how weak Konoha is today and how distracted people are. Defeat after defeat had long since made Konoha's ninjas lose their confidence.

For the first time, I began to fear the coming of war...

Although he seemed determined on the outside, deep down he was filled with pain.

If he had no choice, how could he be so aggrieved?

The strongest Hokage - the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is already a useless person! Konoha lost one of its leaders;

Then Yunin Village launched a surprise war, causing Konoha to fall into the whirlpool of the Nine-Tails Rebellion again;

Jiraiya's death in battle and Orochimaru's defection.

In addition, before and after, Ino Lu Die, Matt Dai, Kakashi and others.

More than one-third of Konoha's elite jounin have died at the hands of the psychic beasts in Yunin Village! This is not counting the blind Hinata Hinashi!

Today's Konoha has become strong on the outside but weak on the inside!

"call!"

After letting out a long breath, Namikaze Minato stood up, waved his hands in despair, got up and walked towards the door.

"I'd better go."

Thinking of Naruto's childish face that looked so much like his mother, Namikaze Minato suddenly felt something.

I feel a little wronged...

Actually it’s nothing.
