Chapter 443 You should abdicate yourself!

"Report, the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki requests an audience!"

The voice of the Anbu ninja reported outside the door.

"The Tsuchikage is here again?" Minato frowned slightly.

This old man has been bothering him every day recently, trying his best to reach a cooperation and get information about Jigen's ability.

He almost knelt down to Minato.

"Sir?"

Minato turned his head and looked at Xia You, as if asking.

"You can do whatever you want, he can't see me."

Xia You waved his hand and instantly activated the ninjutsu [Dustless Misting], completely hiding his body and chakra aura, as if he had completely disappeared in the room.

After getting the chakra amplification of the sacred tree, any ninjutsu in Xia You's hands can be multiplied, which is greater than the amplification of ninjutsu by the immortal body.

What's more, [Dustless Misting] is a first-class concealment ninjutsu, the kind that even Ohnoki can't see through.

Seeing that the gentleman is perfectly hidden, Minato was relieved.

Notify the Anbu to meet Ohnoki.

Soon.

Ohnoki entered the Hokage's office again.

Xia You took a look.

It was less than a month, but Ohnoki seemed to have aged a lot. His eyes were sunken and dull, and there were gray and black wrinkles around them. He even looked a little more haggard than the Fourth War.

Losing a son in old age is not something that everyone can bear.

Ohnoki, who inherited the Will of Stone, not only did he not give up, but he was even determined to seek revenge.

If it were someone else, facing such a terrifying gap in power, he would have given up long ago.

"Hokage, how do you think about my last proposal?"

"If you are willing to provide information about the ability of that Jigen, I can give you another 200 million reward as a thank you!"

Ohnoki went straight to the point, and it was obvious that he had talked to Minato many times.

He even offered 200 million!

That's 200 million!

He can even buy 6 Asumas or 4 Jinchūriki.

This is all the funds he can normally mobilize. If there is more, although the Iwagakure Village can provide it, other high-level officials and the Land of Earth will definitely not agree.

Even more, I am afraid they will oppose the Tsuchikage alone, and provoke such a powerful enemy for the entire village.

"Mr. Tsuchikage, you know, this is not just a matter of money."

"Money can buy a lot of information, but a lot of important information cannot be measured by money."

Minato explained gently, with a serious face.

"But this is not confidential information! It will not threaten your village! I just want the enemy's information and want to avenge my son!"

"Mr. Tsuchikage, I can understand your anger, but the factors here are very complicated..."

"What else is complicated? I give money, you give information, it's that simple!"

"Mr. Tsuchikage, you..."

"Namikaze Minato! Didn't your teacher, the famous Konoha Sannin Jiraiya, die at the hands of that beast? Don't you want revenge?"

"Yes!"

"Then why don't you agree? Why don't you cooperate?"

Ohnoki became more and more excited. He didn't understand how Minato could bear it?

Isn't this guy the most loyal?

Cooperating with Iwagakure Village to fight against Jigen is a good thing that can make money and take revenge, so why hesitate?

"Hey..."

"Tell the truth. Mr. Tsuchikage, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with you, but I can't completely trust you..."

Minato sighed and said the real reason for his hesitation.

"Don't trust me?"

"Fourth Hokage! I know that the conflict between our two villages in the third ninja world was huge, and both suffered heavy casualties!"

"But can't you let it go for now? Didn't you say that Jigen is an enemy from outside the ninja world?"

"To deal with such an enemy, can't we join forces once?"

"My son is dead, what else do you have to distrust?!!"

"Fourth Hokage, do you really want me to kneel down and kowtow to you?"

Onoki roared, very indignant.

Feeling that Minato was still asking for a price, he wanted to blackmail him again.

But he obviously misunderstood Minato.

"Mr. Tsuchikage, you can represent yourself, but can you represent the entire Iwagakure Village?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's just what it says. The entire Iwagakure Village doesn't know that you plan to take revenge on Jigen, right?"

"This..."

"No need to hide it. As far as I know, the other members of the Iwagakure Village delegation just think you are here to get back the Jinchūriki, right?"

"I..."

"This is what I'm worried about. Your position and the position and interests of the entire Iwagakure Village are not consistent."

"I can accept your cooperation, but I can't guarantee that the Iwagakure Village behind you will do its best in this matter. Even to put it bluntly, they are likely to leak information, thus affecting the final outcome of the battle."

"You should know how powerful Jigen is. Any small mistake may lead to our annihilation!"

Minato is very rational. Although he also wants to use the power of Ohnoki, he did not blindly join forces with the other party.

It doesn't matter if the information about Jigen's identity is leaked.

But Jigen's ability and fighting style will largely determine what battle strategy Minato will adopt, which cannot be leaked at will.

Including Ohnoki in the joint combat team will inevitably require sharing a lot of intelligence and combat plans.

As the Tsuchikage, Ohnoki must be responsible for the Iwagakure Village.

Let's not talk about whether someone will leak the information along the way.

But if Jigen is too strong and even endangers the safety of Iwagakure Village, can Ohnoki continue to fight Jigen?

If you are not careful when dealing with a strong enemy of the Six Paths level, you will be wiped out!

What's more, Kushina will also join the battle, Minato will never allow any loopholes to exist!

…

Faced with Minato's questioning, Ohnoki was indeed speechless.

He did hide the truth from the entire Iwagakure Village and did not tell the truth.

There is nothing to do about it!

The enemy is too strong. It is said that he is a powerful enemy of the same level as the [Goddess of the Rabbit] and the [Six Paths Sage].

If this is announced, Iwagakure Village will be in chaos!

At that time, let alone hostility, it may even give rise to a large number of defectors!

Ohnoki's prestige in Iwagakure Village is indeed not low, but it is not strong enough to become a myth!

After all, there are real records of gods and sages in the ninja world.

Even someone as powerful as Madara believed in the existence of gods and ancestors at first, let alone other ordinary ninjas?

You want to incite them to fight against the enemies of the six paths.

It's as absurd as inciting all Christians to fight against their own God!

It's even crazier than inciting the descendants of Yanhuang to fight against Nuwa!

Let alone the Hidden Rock Village.

Even in Konoha Village, Minato didn't dare to announce the news of Otsutsuki and Jigen on a large scale, otherwise it would definitely cause a lot of commotion.

"I, I can guarantee to block the news and won't let others know!"

Onoki had a dark face and wanted to fight for it.

"You can't guarantee it. As a Tsuchikage, your every move will be watched by the whole village, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no information leakage."

"Besides, you cooperated with Konoha Village privately and paid a large sum of money. Without reasonable reasons, you will inevitably be suspected and questioned by Iwagakure Village."

"I don't want you to be distracted to mediate the internal problems of Iwagakure Village at the critical moment of encircling Jigen."

"That will only further affect the winning rate on the battlefield. It is better to refuse from the beginning."

"Mr. Tsuchikage, do you understand?"

Minato said it very bluntly.

Oonoki and Dust Release may indeed help the battle against Jigen, but it is better to eliminate it from the beginning rather than adding an unstable factor.

"Ah? I..."

Oonoki's face was ashen, and he really couldn't guarantee it completely.

But he couldn't let go of the hatred in his heart, so he begged in the end:

"Can't I participate? Not even a chance? I can give everything!"

"There is a way."

"You say!"

"You take the initiative to resign as Tsuchikage. Pass the position of Tsuchikage to another person. Then I can allow you to join the secret operation to encircle Jigen in your personal name!"

"Ah?!!"
