Chapter 373: The gathering of ninja villages from various countries

When he heard Karin's words.

Huang Tu's face also changed slightly, but he quickly adjusted back. After taking a deep look at Karin in front of him, he said with his usual honest smile: "Haha, so you are Karin-kun. It's our first meeting. It's really better to meet in person than to hear about her. Karin-kun is right. With the relationship between our two families, there is really no need to be so polite." (Note: In Japan, the suffix of women can also be "jun", especially when the relationship is average and the man is much older than the woman, the man basically uses the suffix "jun" to address women to show a sense of respect and distance, so as not to appear presumptuous.)

The other members of the Iwagakure Village delegation in the back are fine.

Only Kurotsuchi, as Huang Tu's daughter, couldn't help but curl her lips at this moment. What kind of personality does her father have? How can Kurotsuchi not understand it?

That's why Kurotsuchi looked at Karin twice more.

'Is this the person that the old man said Uzumaki Menma trusts the most? Hum, it does look pretty good... . . '

Kurotsuchi looked at Karin with a scrutinizing look.

As a perceptual type, Karin would easily notice such a sight, but she didn't care. Her attention was almost always on Koto, because he was one of the most powerful people in the Hidden Rock Village that her family Menma had told her about!

"Yes, yes, the future of the ninja world still requires our two families to work together. Koto, please come in this way."

Shibuki on the side seemed to be completely confused about the "contest" between Karin and Koto.

With a smile on his face, he turned sideways to invite her, and still spoke softly in a calm tone.

"Yeah!"

Koto also nodded with a smile.

Then.

The Hidden Rock Village group, led by Shibuki and Karin, went directly through the main gate of the ninja village and headed towards the place that had been arranged to receive foreign guests.

What happened at the main gate of Guangyin Village.

It also spread quickly in a very short time.

Menma, who was standing on the top of the building in the former political hall of the ninja village, which is now the central control room of the barrier class and the seal class, also looked at the Yellow Earth and other members of the Iwagakure Village delegation from a distance, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Even at the moment of obtaining the list, he thought about it for a long time.

Menma still couldn't figure out why Ohnoki sent such a delegation. If it was just to test him, let alone Yellow Earth, that Shangshui Liu Yanze would be enough. He was not here to mess up the scene. It was a pure political and diplomatic behavior. It depends on the individual's overall view and political means.

As one of Ohnoki's most trusted, one of the most experienced in Iwagakure Village, and the head of the Shangshui Liu clan, this Shangshui Liu Yanze jonin has enough qualifications and means to serve as the head of the delegation to negotiate with any ninja village.

From the news learned from Orochimaru.

The envoy from Iwagakure who went to Konohagakure quietly before should be this Umi-Ryuganzetsu. Logically speaking, his means and abilities are completely fine.

But now the old man from Iwagakure not only sent out Yellow Earth, but also another proud disciple, Akagi, who came together. As for Black Earth, we can ignore it for now. At this stage, Black Earth is at most an elite jonin, and it may even be a little worse. In the original work, until this person ascended to the position of the fourth Tsuchikage, Naruto fans did not recognize the "kage-level strength" of this leg shadow, and always felt that the level was a little too low.

Not to mention now.

'I can't see through it, what is the intention of this old guy... '

Menma still shook his head gently and thought secretly in his heart.

"Purple!"

If you can't see through it, you can't figure it out, then use the dumbest way to guard against it.

The words of calling fell gently.

"Swoosh"

The next second.

A muscular figure wearing dark purple and black clothes and a special mask appeared directly beside Menma, with his head slightly lowered and kneeling on one knee, looking extremely respectful, and exuding a cold aura.

All of this shows that this ninja has extremely strong strength.

The person who came is also one of the strongest shadow guards directly under Menma.

Although there is still a big gap compared to the top jonin of the five major ninja villages, it can definitely be regarded as a veritable jonin level existence.

"Strengthen the monitoring of the Iwagakure delegation. Even if it is exposed, it is not a big problem, but the actions of any person must be grasped in place. Don't let them have any time, even for a second to escape your sight. Do you understand?"

Menma did not turn his eyes away, still looking at the yellow soil in the distance, and said in a calm tone.

"Yes, Lord Tianying, I will obey your order!"

The shadow guard also responded in a deep voice, and then Menma waved his hand gently.

"Swoosh!"

The figure flashed and disappeared again.

'Sigh, the good show is about to begin, let me see what purpose you monsters have come with. '

Menma's mouth corners slightly raised, and he chuckled and whispered.

The arrival of the Hidden Rock Village.

It is a heavyweight injection, especially the "confrontation" at the entrance of the ninja village, which is easy to make people imagine. Although there is no clear covenant, and the two villages have no very direct joint actions, the experience of the Cloud Village in the previous "simplified version" of the Fourth Ninja World War is the most powerful proof.

Now what Karin said.

It will further deepen this impression.

At least for those small ninja villages, they are willing to believe that there must be something fishy between the Hikari Village and the Rock Village!

In the big ninja village.

The Sand Village is a bit "trembling" type, and the vitality lost in the three wars has not been restored.

In the Konoha collapse plan, their own ninja village is still the one with the heaviest casualties.

Maki is now facing his own ninja village, which is in need of reconstruction. He is almost sighing in despair. If the relationship between Iwagakure and Hikari is 100% confirmed, the days of Sand Village, as a ninja village surrounded, will definitely be difficult in the future.

Therefore, the senior ninja in charge of the Sand Village delegation who obtained this information also hurriedly passed the message back.

Their ninja villages need to make judgments at the same time.

Of course, the confrontation between major countries is often true and false, real and fake. The specific situation and whether there will be changes in the future depend on their respective layout capabilities and response methods.

This is just an appetizer.

After the Sand Village and Iwagakure arrived, the delegation of Cloud Village also arrived. The senior ninja leading the team was still an old acquaintance who came to discuss the peace agreement last time-Tsuchida. As a basic courtesy, Menma still sent Ajun and Karin to greet them. Then the delegations of various governments sent senior ninjas in charge of corresponding departments to connect according to their different identities.

The entire eastern area of ​​the Hidden Light Village became more noisy with the arrival of these countries and ninja village delegations.

And it was after the governments and ninja village delegations of various countries arrived one after another.

On the last day before the official opening of the celebration.

The delegation of the Hidden Leaf Village seemed to be a natural finale, and arrived at the Hidden Light Village on time.

The leader was the highest think tank representative of the Hidden Leaf Village-Nara Shikaku. Tsunade didn't want Shikaku to come, after all, Shikaku had just recovered from a serious injury not long ago, and he was still the one she relied on the most.

But Shikaku insisted on going to the Hidden Light Village as a member of the delegation.

After comprehensive consideration, Tsunade still agreed.

After all, in terms of negotiation, intelligence collection, and situation judgment, Shikaku is simply a unique existence.

No one can compare.

Even Yamanaka Inoichi, who can be said to be an outstanding Konoha Jonin, is much inferior.

The establishment of the Hikage Village and the succession ceremony of Menma, the first generation of the Tenkage, can be said to have gathered people from all the major ninja villages, and Konoha will not be absent.

Even if they were still in a hostile state before.

It should be said that the relationship of life and death will not affect this point. War is war, diplomacy is diplomacy, these are two different things, which can be said to be a tradition in the ninja world.

Tsunade or Jiraiya.

They still hope to take this opportunity to explore the bottom of Menma and the Hikage Village. Don't see this time, they still think whether there will be another way to choose. After all, in the history of their Konoha, isn't there a vivid example of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan! ?

You know, if there was no handshake of the century.

There would be no Konoha Hidden Village now!

The thousand-year-old mortal enemies like the Senju and Uchiha, and the life-and-death hatred between Hashirama and Madara can be resolved, what else can't be done?

What's more, it's just a backup option. It doesn't require any extra effort and it won't waste any time, at least in the eyes of Jiraiya and Tsunade.

Of course, the reason why they made such a judgment.

It's still on Naruto.

From the traces on the scene that time, and the subsequent series of speculations, Shikaku judged that Menma didn't kill Naruto directly, and it is very likely that he just imprisoned him. If so, it means that Menma still has "feelings".

Regardless of other reasons, at least when Shikaku proposed the possibility that "Naruto is not dead", Jiraiya was most willing to believe this.

Because only such a possibility can truly usher in a happy ending.

This hero of Konoha sincerely hopes so.

That is to say, considering some other reasons.

Otherwise, Jiraiya planned to come in person, but later he thought about giving up. Therefore, considering these factors, Shikaku is the only suitable candidate. It is worth mentioning that there are some boys and girls with similar ages to Kurotsuchi in the delegation of Konohagakure.

Those who were in the same period as Menma and Naruto.

Including Shikamaru, Choza, Kiba, Sakura and others.

And there was also Hyuga Hinata who was not supposed to be in the delegation, but this time she came to Hikari Village with them because she was really worried about Naruto's safety. You know, when she learned that Naruto might have died in Menma's hands, Hinata fainted directly. After waking up, Hinata was full of regret for why she helped Naruto leave the village.

He kept blaming himself, feeling that if it weren't for him, Naruto wouldn't be able to leave the Ninja Village so smoothly.

It is impossible to die.

At this point, in fact, Kiba, Ding Zao and others all had similar feelings, because they were the helpers who helped Naruto briefly escape from Anbu surveillance that day and successfully leave the village. Naruto died because of this. How many of them Still a little uncomfortable.

Even if they have good intentions, after all, the result is here.

Hinata was the one who was hit the hardest.

During that time.

Hinata seemed to have lost her soul, shedding tears all day long, and her whole person became muddled.

He even attempted suicide at one point.

Therefore, after learning from Ino the news relayed from Shikamaru that Naruto might not be dead.

Hinata instantly made up her mind to come to the Hidden Light Village in person. She wanted to use her own eyes to confirm Naruto's life and death.

Just like facial numbness to Xianglin.

Naruto is all the hope and future of Hinata's life.

In order to be able to come out, Hinata would not hesitate to force her to die, and she did not hesitate to tell her father that if it was to ensure the safety of Byakugan, she would be willing to imprint the strongest sealing technique of their Hyuga clan right now——' The seal in the cage directly becomes a person who separates the family.

It was also because he was touched by Hinata's strong determination.

As well as the support from Jiraiya and Tsunade on the other side of the village.

Hinata Hizashi, who seemed indifferent on the outside, but still cared about his daughter very much, had no choice but to agree.

As for the seal in the cage?

It's impossible to lift Rizu.

It was just that two more jounin from their Hyuga clan were arranged as bodyguards to follow Hinata.

In addition, Hyuga Neji, who has been one of Hinata's most important guards since childhood, also appeared in this mission.

Then Kakashi, Yamanaka Haiichi, and the most terrifying one at this stage, Metkai, and several other old acquaintances are also in this mission. It can be said that Konoha Hidden Village dispatched this time The mission that came out is the protagonist group in the original work in a complete sense!

When Menma received the list of envoys from the Hidden Leaf Village in advance, his pupils shrank slightly subconsciously.

‘They are all old acquaintances. . . . ’

He is increasingly unable to understand the practices of Konoha Hidden Village, just like Iwagakure Village before.

After all, how could Menma imagine that he had already used such ruthless methods and cold attitudes to deal with people like them.

Konoha actually comes with so-called 'goodwill'.

This is impossible for any normal person to think of, right?

It can only be said that the difference in brain circuits between people is really a little big.
