Chapter 289 The final weakness, the Hokage knocks on the door late at night

In Sarutobi Hiruzen's opinion, Uchiha Ryuun does have two fatal weaknesses.

The first one is naturally his mother, the late Asuka. The departure of this woman caused a huge change in Liuyun's temperament. He transformed from a cheerful and sunny boy into a black-clad Shura who was feared by the entire ninja world.

The lack of an important emotion caused the young dragon to quickly grow into a man-eating dragon in just a few years.

If Uchiha Ryuun lost this last weakness... Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't imagine what kind of storm this ferocious dragon would stir up. Perhaps the five major countries and even the entire ninja world would be buried with him...

And if something happens to Uzumaki Kushina, Konoha will definitely be the first to face this evil dragon.

Uchiha Ryuun doesn't owe Konoha anything, and he has already repaid all the favors he should have. Generally speaking, Konoha is no different from other ninja villages.

He, Uchiha Ryuun, can destroy the military port of tens of thousands of people in the Land of Earth and the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water. Is there any big country in the ninja world that he dare not provoke?

Moral bottom lines and rules of order can no longer restrain him.

If it weren't for Kushina's weakness and the fact that she was a member of Konoha Village, he, the Third Hokage, would probably have had sleepless nights like the other Hokages.

Kushina is not only the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha Village, but can also be said to be a great guarantee for Konoha Village.

With her around, no matter how crazy Uchiha Ryuyun gets outside, he will not attack Konoha Village. Sarutobi Hiruzen can be sure of this.

The four Kages set their sights on Kushina, which was not only touching the ferocious evil dragon's reverse scale, but also the reverse scale of everyone in Konoha. Sarutobi Hiruzen could not accept this in any way.

"Your Excellency, the Daimyo, this meeting can be ended now!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this politely, but his tone left no room for doubt.

Although the Kage needs to obey the orders of the daimyo on the surface, when it comes to matters of life and death, the power of the Kage, as the head of a national military organization, must be above that of the daimyo.

"Okay... I'm tired too..."

The Fire Nation said as he put down the feather fan in his hand.

"Hokage, it looks like you're going to be an enemy of all of us..." the Third Tsuchikage said coldly.

The Third Kazekage: "I was originally planning to sign a ceasefire agreement with your country, but since the Hokage is so ungrateful, we can only continue to fight!"

The Fourth Raikage: "We and Uchiha Ryuun can only fight to the death. Since the Hokage has chosen to stand on his side, Konoha should prepare for a war with our four countries!"

The Fourth Mizukage: "Since Uchiha Ryuun won't let us have an easy life, then no one else should have an easy life!"

All four great nations sent out war signals to the Fire Nation.

Upon hearing the threat of war, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire did not dare to make any statement, but subconsciously looked at the Third Hokage.

"You guys..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was so angry that he was shaking all over, and his sharp eyes swept over everyone. These shameless people couldn't do anything to Uchiha Ryuun, so they wanted to drag Konoha into the water. It was obvious that they thought he, the Hokage, was a coward and could be bullied!

"I'm going to make this clear today. We at Konoha will never hand over Uzumaki Kushina. If you want a war, then come on. We at Konoha love peace, but we are never afraid of any war!"

These people have repeatedly intimidated and threatened their Fire Nation... The Third Hokage has had enough!

Faced with the choice of war between the Four Nations and Uchiha Ryuun, Sarutobi Hiruzen would rather confront the Four Nations head-on than face Uchiha Ryuun.

The reason for this is simple. Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that even if he caught Kushina as bait, Uchiha Ryuyun would not take the bait as everyone thought. The Third Tsuchikage thought too simply, or he did not understand Uchiha Ryuyun at all.

Sarutobi Hiruzen dared to guarantee that if he really dared to take the risk of using Kushina to set up a trap, mushroom bombs called "Tailed Beast Balls" would probably rise in the territory of the Land of Fire at any minute.

The five major countries have great undertakings and their geographical locations are always there. Uchiha Liuyun is a lonely man. If he really goes crazy and throws aside his moral bottom line and destroys any town, you can't stop him.

Since the defeat of the Five Kage, Ryuyun's weight in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart is obviously much more important than that of the Four Nations. He had already lost the gamble once when he personally fought against Uchiha Ryuyun. If he dares to continue to provoke this evil dragon without knowing the danger, it would be difficult to save Konoha Village even if Kushina came forward to plead for him.

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's tough reply, the faces of the four Kage and the daimyo present all changed, but before they could say anything more, the Fire Nation took the initiative to cut off the network communication.

"It seems that Konoha has made up its mind to stand on the side of Uchiha Ryuun!" The Third Tsuchikage spoke coldly with a dark face.

"Rather than saying that he stands over there, it's better to say that he doesn't dare to offend Uchiha Ryuun..." said the Fourth Mizukage.

"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to fight. The four nations will unite and march to Konoha to grab the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki into our hands."

"If our life is not easy, then no one else can expect to have an easy life."

The Four Kingdoms did not retreat because of Konoha's strong response, and the entire ninja world began to move towards an uncontrollable dangerous situation.

"Pass on my order. Konoha must prepare for a full-scale war with the four major ninja villages."

After leaving the communications room, the Third Hokage decisively began mobilizing for war, and all the families in Konoha Village were summoned to the Hokage Building to discuss the war.

late at night.

The Hokage, who had not slept all night, came to a small house alone and knocked on the iron door.

"Who is it... knocking on the door so late..."

A gruff voice came from inside the room, and the girl, whose sleep was disturbed, was obviously angry.

"It's me...Kushina..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed awkwardly and spoke.

"Hokage-sama? What do you want to do in the middle of the night?" After seeing who it was, Kushina frowned subconsciously.

"Can I come in and sit down..." Sarutobi Hiruzen asked again with an awkward smile, and that ingratiating smile revealed his old age and humility.

"Um... okay..."

Kushina welcomed him into her home and then poured him a glass of cold water.

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent for a long time, Kushina finally couldn't help but get straight to the point:

"Tell me...what do you want to talk to me about? I need to rest after you finish speaking..."

"The main reason I came here this time is to ask you to help me make an appointment with Liuyun..." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and stated his purpose.

"Help you make an appointment with Liuyun?"

Kushina repeated it with a frown, and then Sarutobi Hiruzen saw her gently shook her head: "Liuyun will not see you, you should have known this a long time ago..."

"This time is different from usual. You should have received the news of the war mobilization tonight. The four major countries want to force Konoha to hand you over so that they can use it to trap and kill Liuyun. I don't agree with this approach, and I will never hand you over, so I need to have a good talk with that kid..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that Kushina was not so easy to fool, so he confessed everything directly.
