Chapter 33 Whose order?

"It's not impossible for us to retreat. But that kid named Kamikawa Aoba must be handed over to us as compensation for offending us."

When Qingye heard this, what did he say? He felt very complicated. Although he was in Konoha, he had seen similar events in history in his original world.

This is a case that seems outrageous. In fact, it is even more outrageous, but it has actually happened in every world.

Being the center of this incident, Qingye didn't know how to describe his feelings.

In this life, he traveled to a Konoha person. Konoha was his hometown. But this kind of thing happened in his hometown. It really made it difficult for him to identify with this village.

The really disgusting thing about this is not whether Konoha accepted the conditions or not. It is that, among the five major villages, Konoha is still the nominal boss. Why the hell do others dare to make such conditions to Konoha?

This is what it means to live in a world where the media is not well developed. If this were the Internet world of the past, I'm afraid that as many servers of the public opinion platforms as possible would be blown up.

Although he knew that Jiraiya was unlikely to agree, Aoba still drew his sword immediately and stayed away from the other ninjas of Konoha.

This action made the others stunned. Because most civilian ninjas would never agree to such a thing. So, they didn't understand Qingye's action.

But after all, there are still people who remember Hyuga Hizashi back then. Some people have begun to speculate whether the scene back then will happen again.

At this time, a person who had been invisible for a long time suddenly jumped out, Danzo Shimura.

This guy disappeared when Aoba and Raikage were fighting for their lives. Now, he suddenly jumped out again.

"Don't worry, Kamikawa Aoba. My roots will protect you. No one can hand you over today."

Qingye understood what he said immediately. Danzo had no interest in him before. The main reason was that he had no inheritance and no bloodline. He didn't think highly of him.

As a result, after he had just demonstrated his powerful fighting ability, he had another idea and wanted to let the roots absorb him.

The key point is that Qingye knows very well in his heart that even if he defected, he would not be able to enter the Root.

In Aoba's mind, the Root had nothing to do with Konoha. Didn't you see that when Pain was carrying rice, the Root was hiding underground and didn't move at all?

The entire organization serves Danzo's ambitions.

Aoba did not respond to Danzo. Instead, he looked up at Jiraiya who was high up. He had secretly taken the Hyouryo Pill before. At this time, his chakra had been partially restored.

But this part of chakra is not for fighting. He now gathers all of it at his feet, ready to run at any time.

Fortunately, Jiraiya is at least not as cowardly as Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Wen Tai, who was standing under him, took a step forward, showing an attitude of not giving in.

The Raikage frowned. He was still a little unwilling. But at this time, a lot of footsteps were heard in the distance. More Konoha ninjas had arrived.

The Raikage sighed inwardly. This time, he had completely lost.

The original plan was to severely damage Konoha's elite in this battle, and then declare war on Konoha directly. Now it seems that this war cannot be fought.

"let's go."

All the Konoha ninjas were looking at Jiraiya. They had the same idea as Aoba. They should take advantage of their numbers to kill the Raikage and the elites around him.

In fact, whether from the perspective of interests or morality, there is nothing wrong with Konoha's approach.

You illegally crossed the border and attacked your own army. What's wrong with just killing you if you're caught?

If it was Iwagakure, Ohnoki would have mobilized tens of thousands of people by now to kill the Raikage directly here.

But Aoba guessed that Konoha would most likely not do that.

As expected, Jiraiya hesitated slightly, but finally took a step back and made a gesture of concession.

"Humph." After killing more than 20 people from Konoha on Konoha's territory, the Raikage and his group were ready to leave in high spirits.

At this time, Qingye suddenly stood up and spoke.

"Excuse me, Master Jiraiya, is it your order or the order of Master Sandaime to let go the enemies who illegally invaded Konoha?"

Qingye's words directly caused a debate among the crowd. Even the Raikage and others who were about to leave slowed down their pace, ready to see the outcome of this farce.

Jiraiya turned around suddenly. The target of Aoba's question was too obvious.

Jiraiya subconsciously wanted to say that this was his decision, but he found that Aoba had stood beside Danzo without knowing when.

At this point, Jiraiya hesitated, because this involved a very embarrassing issue.

That is, although Jiraiya's position is high, he does not hold an actual position in Konoha. As everyone knows, he is the disciple of the Third Generation and generally represents the will of the Third Generation. Therefore, in the end, in most cases, he will obey his orders.

But unfortunately, there is also a Shimura Danzo at the scene today.

No matter how bad or shady this guy Shimura Danzo is, he is a high-ranking Konoha official of the same generation as Sarutobi Hiruzen. He is also a high-ranking advisor to Konoha and the leader of the Root.

In other words, in terms of official status, Danzo is actually higher than Jiraiya. And Shimura Danzo himself is the commander of today's reinforcements.

If Jiraiya said that this was the order of the Third Generation, then Danzo would naturally not say anything more. After all, the Third Generation of Konoha is still the boss. But in this way, all the ninjas at the scene will intuitively feel the cowardice of the Third Generation.

Although Jiraiya could give a lot of explanations for this decision, he couldn't explain the reason to everyone at this moment.

Therefore, saying this would undoubtedly bring disgrace to the Third Generation and would be a huge blow to his reputation.

But if Jiraiya said that this was his decision, then Shimura Danzo could directly refute it. As a commander, he could forcefully issue an order to encircle and suppress the Raikage.

According to Jiraiya's understanding of Danzo, this guy is definitely capable of doing such a thing. After all, strangling the shadow of a village is a huge reputation, and Danzo's personality is almost impossible to give up.

But if that happened, it would definitely lead to an all-out war, which Jiraiya could not accept.

Finally, Jiraiya spoke.

"This is an order from the Third Hokage."

The surrounding Konoha ninjas stopped talking, but Jiraiya could clearly see that many of them had disappointed expressions in their eyes.

The Raikage and his group showed mocking expressions on their faces, and then the leader left openly.

Seeing the Raikage and his group leave, Aoba casually called out to Anko.

"Let's go Anko, mission accomplished. Why are we still here? Are we seeing Raikage-sama off?"
