82 The Man Who Was Called Shinobi (Fifth Shift)

"Three generations of adults, what are you looking at?"

Standing outside the venue, which had been specially arranged by the daimyo of the Iron Country to look very similar to the first meeting of the Five Shadows, Bo Feng Shuimen looked at the ape flying sun slash who had been standing here for a long time, and asked with some curiosity.

"Me? I guess I'm reminiscing about the time that has passed. ”

Ape Fei Ri slowly exhaled a large puff of smoke, and said with a melancholy tone:

"When the first lord invited the first kagets from various villages to come to the Land of Iron for talks, proposed to establish an alliance between the various countries to maintain peace in the ninja world, and distributed the tailed beasts to each ninja village to balance the fighting power, I was just a young man who could have had his own subordinates......

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, I was already an old man about the same age as the first generation of adults at that time. ”

"No, three generations of adults, you are still a strong man in the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is a little too early to say that you are old." Bo Feng Shuimen said from the bottom of his heart.

"Ha, how can anyone not notice that their body is aging?" Ape Fei Ri Slash smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "My peak has long passed, and the rest of the time is only a continuous decline...... The only one who can continue to go up is a young man like Watergate. ”

"Old man, don't put too much pressure on the water gate," Ji Lai also stepped forward, put his arm around the water gate's shoulders and said, "Aren't we old people here to protect young people from the wind and rain before they reach their own peak?" It's not good to put problems and pressures on them too early that you can't solve. ”

"Alright, don't say these pointless frustration words."

Sarutobi stopped his sentimentality and sigh at the right time, and replaced himself with the majesty and seriousness of his own Hokage, "Let's go, Mizumon, Jiraiya, the master who invited us here is still waiting for us." ”

Under the guidance of the guide arranged by the Daimyo of the Iron Country, Sarutobi and the others came to the venue where the official talks were held, and looked at the three people who were seated early on the opposite side, Sarutobi Hizashi couldn't help but squint his eyes and looked at them one by one.

The three generations of Mizukage,And he is basically a ninja of the same era.,It's also in the First Ninja War.,The second generation of the village's Kage War succeeded as the third generation of Kage after the death.,Because the fog has not participated in the Second Ninja War.,It's a relatively closed relationship.,It can be said that this is the first time he's met each other on a formal occasion as a Hokage.。

It's just that looking at the other party's spiritual qi, which is even older and decaying than its appearance, Ape Feiri slashed his heart, and basically determined the truth of the fact that the other party had been manipulated by someone with illusion for a long time.

This is really not good news for Konoha.

The second person who caught the eye of Ape Fei Ri was Goji Tangerine, who looked like he was still a ninja school student.

It can be seen from the actions of the three generations of Mizukage from time to time that he should be the kind of henchman ninja who has been cultivated by the three generations of Mizukage, and the relationship between the two sides is similar to the relationship between himself and Jiraiya and Orochimaru, if there is no accident, he is the person who will succeed to become the fourth generation of Mizukage under normal circumstances.

Unfortunately, the three people on his side who were sitting next to him right now looked at him with an uncomfortable scrutiny.

Thinking like this, Sarutobi took a deep breath and met Kaguya's gaze without dodging.

From the pair of purple vertical children that were similar to Orochimaru, but more mysterious and difficult to understand, Sarutobi saw an ambitious but actively burning young soul.

He is ambitious, ruthlessly removing all obstacles in front of him in order to achieve his ideals, but at the same time, he is very confident that the path he has chosen will change the world for the better.

This feeling reminds Sarutobi of Madara Uchiha, the strongest enemy of the original Hokage, but Rei Kaguya is a very different character from Madara Uchiha in every way.

Just as Sarutobi was pondering Kaguya's first impression of himself like this, and while sitting down in his own place, Kaguya, who was looking at the Konoha trio, took the initiative to speak, and greeted Jiraiya with a vigilant face:

"Yo, I'm a senior, I haven't seen you for a while, I wonder if this time you will choose to escape in the face of the problems you have to face like before?"

Jiraiya's face darkened.

He knew that Kaguya Ren brought up this matter at this time to suppress his own momentum and seize the opportunity in the negotiation, but the problem was that this was a difficult problem that he had not yet found an answer and a solution.

At this time, whether he chooses to remain silent or forcibly answer, he will only be taken the initiative by the other party to talk, which is undoubtedly an even worse situation for the Konoha side, which is at a disadvantage in all aspects.

Seeing that Jiraiya actually fell into a state of embarrassment because of the other party's words, Sarutobi couldn't help but look at Kaguya a little more, he put down his pipe, and asked Kaguya in a calm tone:

"If it's convenient, can I also listen to your question to Jiraiya, Kaguya?"

"Of course, I can, but I'm just briefly listing a few facts, and then discussing with Jiraiya's seniors whether there is a phenomenon that has deviated from the original intention of the founder and gradually embarked on the wrong path in the development of our various ninja villages until now, which is not an esoteric philosophical discussion, Hokage-sama."

Kaguya Ren lightly threw the question at Sarutobi Slash, and then put her fingers together, waiting for the other party's reply.

"Have you strayed from your heart and gone down the wrong path?"

Sarutobi closed his eyes, and the faces of the children who had just graduated from the ninja school and died on the battlefield were very clear in his mind, as well as the root ninjas he saw who had lost their feelings and humanity when he took over the various affairs of the root, as well as the many inhumane experiments carried out by the root since its establishment.

"I see, for Jiraiya, this is indeed a difficult question to give an answer."

"Oh?"

Kaguya Ren looked at Sarutobi who had reopened his eyes with some surprise, and asked in a deep voice, "So how are you going to answer this question?" ”

"Because of my lack of ability as Hokage, it is an irrefutable fact that Konoha has indeed had many problems during my tenure that go against the original intention of the Hatsudai-sama to establish the village......

The reason why he is overwhelmed by your questions is probably because he doesn't have a cold and hard heart like you, and he can say such sharp words to his boss and teacher without any burden. ”

Now, the people who were surprised were suddenly more than Kaguya.

"Old man!? What are you talking about!? ”

Jiraiya anxiously leaned in front of the ape flying in front of him, and shouted at him in a low voice:

"This is the problem between me and that guy, why do you need to use this self-defamy to help me out of this stupid way!?"

"My Hokage career has reached the point where it's time to close the coffin and let others comment on it, what's the big deal about untying the knot in my disciple's heart by admitting that I've made some undeniable mistakes?"

Sarutobi shook his head at Jiraiya, re-turned his gaze to the thoughtful Kaguya, and asked with a little self-deprecation:

"How, this answer shouldn't be bad enough to be given a zero point, right?"

"If you answer the question but don't say any solution, if it weren't for you, who is the party, I would definitely give zero points."

Listening to Kaguya's somewhat dissatisfied but not easy to refute tone, Ape Fei Ri sighed, turned his gaze to the serious face of Bo Feng Shuimen, and said unhurriedly:

"The problems are due to my incompetence, so there is obviously no way to rely on me as an old man to solve them...... But it doesn't matter, I've found a successor worthy of entrusting the future, and now, I just need to be like the third generation next to you, carry the responsibility and infamy, and leave the space for them to show their strengths. ”

Hearing this, the three generations of Mizukage couldn't help but show a slightly sad wry smile.

If he hadn't been controlled by illusions, he would have been able to entrust the future of the Fog Hidden Village and the position of the four generations of Mizukage to the young ninja who grew up during his tenure, right?

That guy who doesn't know if it's Madara Uchiha or not, damn you!

Looking at the ape flying slash who suddenly showed an astonishing magnanimity, Kaguya was silent for a while, and said with some unhappiness:

"Tsk, is it Shimura Danzo's death that made you regain your ninja-sama, Hokage-sama?"

"Probably."

Hearing that the culprit who made Shimura hide and die mentioned his name, Sarutobi's expression also became a lot lower.

"If Konoha wants to continue to flourish if the roots hidden deep in the ground are dead, someone must take the initiative to contact the dark ...... that only needs to be left to the roots."

"Aren't you going to take revenge on Shimura Danzo?"

"I'm here as the Hokage to negotiate peace with Kishikure, and if I drag the village into the quagmire of war again because of my personal relationship with Danzo, he will definitely rebuke me harshly in the underworld."

"Besides, pulling my own disciples to fight with me in a battle that has no chance of winning and is not to protect the village, I probably can't do this kind of thing."

Facing the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash who showed a drip-tight defense, Kaguya pouted his lips and stopped stupidly because he was still thinking of taking advantage of the situation to put pressure on Ape Flying Sun Slash and forcing Konoha to agree to some more conditions.

Seeing this, Goji Lost Position, who had been wary of whether the two sides would fight, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then took out a scroll and threw it towards the three people on Konoha's side.

"This is the agreement template that we have drawn up in advance, and the next negotiation will be based on what is written on it as a reference, and we will discuss the addition, subtraction, and subtraction."
