Chapter 423: The Fire Country Daimyo Stabs the Third Hokage

"Hehehe, Jingyi, I'm really awesome."

Kushina suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"........."

Looking at the little girl who started to lift her tail, Jingyi nodded silently:

"Yes, it's amazing. You single-handedly plunged the five major ninja villages into war. You can be said to have rewritten history. You are the first person in history. It's a pity that this glorious record is destined not to be exposed, otherwise many people will hate you to death."

"What glorious achievements? I don't want them."

Kushina smiled awkwardly.

I'm complaining about you and you're still laughing?

You don't really think this is a glorious achievement, do you?

"Okay, go and rest quickly. Don't run around for a while. The Kumogakure might try to find out about you."

"what?"

Kushina didn't respond, "Why are they trying to find out about me? Have they already confirmed that I did it?"

"What are you thinking?"

Jingyi was amused and patted Kushina's little head.

Kushina cried out, covered her forehead, and looked at Jingyi with grievance.

Jingyi said unhappily:

"Of course there are doubts. Turtle Island is too big. It's not easy for such a big creature to kill it and tear the entire island into pieces. It's not something that ordinary people can do. Unfortunately, you are one of them. The Cloud Shinobi Village will definitely check one by one, you and me."

"Remember, you have always stayed in the village and have never been anywhere."

"Yeah, yeah, I get it. I've been staying in the village the whole time."

This kind of thing can only be done secretly. Once discovered, Konoha's position will be embarrassing.

As long as you don't catch it yourself, suspicion is just suspicion.

The premise is that Kushina herself does not expose herself.

In this way, even if there are certain clues, the Cloud Ninja Village can only keep it to themselves and consider themselves unlucky.

Who could have thought that Kushina was so lucky that she actually encountered Turtle Island? It can only be said that this big turtle deserved its bad luck, because the Cloud Ninja Village and Kushina had a grudge against each other.

If the Cloud Ninja Village had not stationed a group of ninjas on Kame Island, Kushina would most likely not have attacked Kame Island.

After all, she is not a bloodthirsty person.

There was a group of ninjas from the Iwagakure Village on Kame Island. Unfortunately, they were seen by Kushina.

This cannot be blamed on Kushina for being ruthless. When the people from the Cloud Ninja Village attacked the Whirlpool Country, they showed no mercy.

Although those who escaped the disaster hated Konoha more than the Cloud Village and the Mist Village.

They were allies for many years, but not only did Konoha not help them, it also took advantage of the Whirlpool Country. No one could accept this.

After Jingyi's repeated instructions, Kushina returned to her room to rest.

Over at the Hokage office building, the Third Hokage was still worried about the war.

The problem now is not the support supplies from the Cloud Ninja Village, but the fact that the anti-war wave in the village is too high.

The war had just ended for three years, and the recuperation time was too short. Such a short time was not enough for the villagers to get out of the shadow of the war, and now they have to go to war again. It is obvious that most of the villagers will definitely oppose it.

Even many ninjas in the village would oppose Konoha's participation in the war.

However, Konoha has become an ally of the Cloud Village. If it violates the alliance, does not go to war, and does not help the Cloud Village, Konoha's reputation will become bad. If it helps, someone in the village will make trouble again.

In short, the Third Hokage is now in a difficult situation.

At this moment, he was regretting it so much that his intestines turned green. He should have formed an alliance with the Cloud Ninja Village to get rid of the trouble. Now, he was putting himself on the grill, feeling depressed and uncomfortable.

If Konoha joined the war because an enemy attacked Konoha and the village was forced to join the war, the anti-war sentiment in the village would not be so intense. But Konoha had nothing to worry about. It was the Cloud Ninja Village that caused the trouble, and yet Konoha still had to join the war. This made it difficult for countless villagers to accept.

What about helping allies and what about alliance obligations? That is not something that the villagers and low-level ninjas need to consider.

These people will only think that it is the inaction of the village's top leaders, and that the Third Hokage who took the lead in forming an alliance will be the first to bear the brunt. Even if the unlucky Second Hokage Koharu Utatane helps to take the blame, the Third Hokage will still be blamed.

Not to mention that the support supplies from the Cloud Ninja Village have not arrived yet, even if they did, this war would not be easy to fight.

But the Third Hokage had to fight.

He needs to consider things that the villagers and ordinary ninjas would not consider, and he has to do it even if he is criticized.

In the Daimyo's mansion, an aide excitedly ran into the palace and delivered the latest news from the ninja world to the Daimyo: "Daimyo, the opportunity we have been waiting for has come!!"

"Are you serious?"

The drunken Daming suddenly perked up.

The previous assassination attempt frightened him so much that he went to live in Konoha for a while before returning to the Daimyo Prefecture.

The result of Konoha's investigation was that the assassination at the Daimyo's mansion was done by a group of wandering ninjas and rebellious ninjas. The Daimyo obviously could not accept such a result and asked Konoha to investigate further. Unfortunately, the Third Hokage was no longer willing to investigate the matter on the grounds that the results had been investigated clearly.

It's enough to make him famous.

As a result, his hatred for the Third Hokage reached a new level.

"real."

The staff member said excitedly: "Konoha's Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, insisted on forming an alliance with the Kumogakure. As a result, the Kumogakure and the Mist Village started a war, and the Rock Village also wanted to declare war on the Kumogakure. The entire ninja world has been in chaos. As an ally of the Kumogakure, Konoha will definitely participate, and perhaps even drag the Sand Village into it."

"The five major ninja villages are all caught up in war. If we spread the news, Sarutobi Hiruzen will definitely suffer."

After collecting intelligence for so long, I finally got the chance.

Even if they have something on hand, they dare not spread the news casually because Konoha can easily investigate it.

At this moment, when the villagers of Konoha are in high spirits and opposed to the war, it would be safest to spread some news at this time.

Try your best to bring down the Third Hokage. Even if you can't do that, you must make his reputation ruined.

"Very good!! Send someone to do it immediately."

Daimyo slapped his thigh excitedly, but he hissed and rubbed his leg and warned: "Don't let your own people do it, find a group of people to do it, and deal with them all for me afterwards."

"Yes, Daimyo."

The aide happily carried out the order, believing that he would be rewarded by the daimyo after completing the task.

Little did he know that after he left, the smile on Daimyo's face disappeared, and he said to the shadow behind him: "Follow him, wait until he has done all this, kill him, and don't leave any handle."

Asking your staff to find someone to spread the news is very risky, and the best way is to get rid of the person who does the job.

When Konoha finds some clues, he can also say that he doesn't know or is not sure.

As long as there is no absolute evidence, Konoha can't do anything to him.

But it’s better to be cautious, and it’s best not to get caught if you can avoid it.

Otherwise, if the matter gets out of hand, it will be embarrassing for everyone.
