Chapter 297 Betrayal
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked surprised. After the brief shock, he frowned deeply and expressed confusion: "I don't quite understand your intention of doing this."
The Third Mizukage smiled and said: You should know that the corpses of powerful ninjas are of great research value, especially precious materials like him with three blood inheritance limits. "
Admittedly, what the other party said made sense, but it was still a bit difficult for Hiruzen Sarutobi to understand. He could understand it in exchange for other things, but after all, they were precious tailed beasts, and any one of them had the ability to destroy the world.
Seemingly sensing Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts, the Third Mizukage continued: "For you, that may be a precious corpse, but it is of great significance to us, Kirigakure Village."
After finishing speaking, he paused and said in a deep voice: "The power of tailed beasts is too difficult for ordinary people to control. Instead of investing precious talents in this every year, and even risking going wild, it would be more valuable to invest in it. On to something more secure.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and probably guessed something.
"When it comes to the blood inheritance limit of Ice Escape, our Hidden Mist Village is the birthplace. I just don't know why there is such a big gap between both Ice Escape and Ice Escape."
The third Mizukage had a self-deprecating smile on his face: "Compared with Aokiji's ice escape, I sometimes wonder if the ice escape blood inheritance limit in our village is fake..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent.
Qing Pheasant's ice escape is indeed a bit different from ordinary ice escape.
The third Mizukage's goal was probably to study Aokiji's body and why his ice attack was so powerful, so as to increase the number of ice attack ninjas in the village.
The Third Mizukage followed suit and said, "How's it going? My proposal is pretty good, isn't it?"
"I'm sorry, it's difficult to obey."
There were guards watching by his side, so it was impossible for Hiruzen Sarutobi to agree directly no matter what.
"Are you afraid that I will change my mind midway?"
The Third Mizukage touched his chin: "Let's see, if you agree, I can give you the Six-Tails in advance."
"W-what?"
The Third Mizukage's answer far exceeded Hiruzen Sarutobi's expectations.
"I think I should be sincere."
The Third Mizukage looked calm and added: "Oh~ By the way, I think the Hokage, if he accepts the Vulpix then, he shouldn't regret it midway."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes alternated between the shadow of earth and the shadow of water.
He now understood the reason why the Tsuchikage didn't immediately go to Konoha to ask for the Five-Tails when Aokiji's ability was exposed to the Sharingan. It turned out that he secretly hooked up with the Mizukage. "
"What are you two going to do if I don't accept it?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked tentatively.
The Third Mizukage suppressed his smile and looked grim: "Then our village will join forces with Iwagakure to attack Konoha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, feeling very troubled.
"You have to know, as long as Wuyin Village and Yanyin Village come to an end, what do you think will happen to Yunyin Village?" The third generation of water shadows said with a smile, and threatened:
"When the time comes, I think even if we are as strong as Konoha, it will be difficult to face so many opponents at once."
Hearing this threat that was directly on the table, Sarutobi Hiruzen broke into a cold sweat down his spine.
I faced four of them at once, plus a bunch of small countries. They were even stronger than Konoha and couldn't withstand them.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, the huge pressure almost made him unable to breathe.
Just when he was in a dilemma, the Third Mizukage then said: "Well, you don't have to answer in such a hurry."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked solemn and looked warily.
The Third Mizukage held the wisdom pearl in hand: "After all, it is a very important decision. If you think about it from your perspective, I can somewhat understand your difficulties. To show my sincerity, I can give you time to go back to the village and discuss it with other senior officials."
Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, turned around and left without saying a word. At this point, there was no need to continue talking. The top priority was to quickly return to the village and find Danzo and the others to discuss the matter.
"Oh, by the way, there's something I forgot to tell you."
Before Sarutobi Hiruzen had taken a few steps, the voice of the Third Mizukage suddenly came from behind him.
He turned around, his eyes as if there was something else going on.
The Third Mizukage smiled and said: "There is something about Aokiji, I wonder if you want to hear it."
"whats the matter."
"I'm a bit old, I forgot..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen:...
"Haha, just kidding, just think this is my trump card when we talk next time..."
This look of inevitable victory made Sarutobi Hiruzen increasingly uneasy.
After Sarutobi Hiruzen left, the Third Mizukage opened his eyes. On the surface, he was looking at Onoki, but in fact his eyes were on Uchiha Madara, disguised as a guard behind him: "Do you think he will agree?"
Onoki, who was manipulated, showed a meaningful smile: "He will definitely agree..."
Aokiji disguised himself as a kidnapper in order to take revenge on the Fire Nation Daimyo. He was so bold that he kidnapped his son, beat him up, and extorted him afterward.
If the Fire Nation daimyo knew that the person who kidnapped his son was Aokiji, he would definitely not let him go.
At this time, whether it was the pressure from external parties or the internal pressure from the Fire Nation's daimyo, Konoha could not bear it.
Under the double pressure, Sarutobi Hiruzen will definitely make a compromise, and then in order to squeeze out the last bit of Aokiji's use value, he will definitely sell him for a good price.
There is nothing more despairing in this world than being betrayed by a companion.
Of course, killing Ao Pheasant was just Uchiha Madara's purpose. He wanted to use this matter to kill Tsunade.
A person who has nothing from the beginning will not feel pain.
It is more painful to have something and then lose it than to never have something.
Aokiji, who is now active on the battlefield, has everything, but when all of it is suddenly lost one day, he will turn black and run away.
Uchiha Madara thought darkly.
But before officially executing that plan, Uchiha Madara had to make some final preparations.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is sometimes too indecisive as a decision-maker. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, he must be replaced by someone more cold-blooded.
——Danzo.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Madara murmured in his heart, he would have to ask that guy to help him, and test how his strength has grown...
——Kakuzu.
……
……
"Hokage-sama, do we really want to..."
After leaving the Castle of Iron Country, a guard following Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but speak.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was walking in front, had a solemn expression on his face and said in a deep voice without looking back: "This matter is of great importance. I must return to the village immediately to discuss how to deal with it with Danzo, Koharu, and Men Yan. It’s okay to be wrong.”
"Then if we can't come up with a plan, do we really have to hand over Qing Pheasant?"
"If it really comes to this, there is really nothing we can do about it."
To be honest, Sarutobi Hiruzen actually had no hope of selling Aokiji anymore.
He is saying this now mainly to deal with the subordinates around him. After all, no one will like the kind of person who sells out his subordinates without hesitation.
"..."
"Remember, don't reveal anything about this place."
Those who can be chosen as guards must be the most trusted subordinates, many of whom are members of the Sarutobi family, so naturally they will not talk too much.
But after all, the matter was of great importance, and Sarutobi Hiruzen still had to emphasize it.
"drink."
The guard responded immediately.
After that, Sarutobi Hiruzen and his party walked a long way, passing through the canyon. This road was the only way back to the territory of the Land of Fire.
Some people who have premeditated plans often set up ambushes here. Naturally, Sarutobi Hiruzen and his party would be a little vigilant here to avoid unexpected events.
But even so, everyone was still accidentally hit. They fell into drowsiness, their legs weakened, and they fell directly to the ground.
Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to realize something, and his pupils suddenly dilated:
"No, the snow is poisonous."
