Chapter 44: The Return of the Three Ninjas
"Hoshino Makii, it's rare for you to come to me~"
Orange Juro thought of a lot of Corporal Lixian's tricks in his heart, but when he saw that face, he couldn't help but overturn his preparations and opened his mouth to mock.
Hoshino Mu unhurriedly retracted his gaze: "Do adults have this attitude towards those who help them?" β
"What do you have for me..."
Orange Juro's words paused, his eyes narrowed, and his expression slowly converged and became serious: "It's you?" β
Hoshino Mu smiled and didn't speak.
As if he had met him for the first time, Orange Juro looked each other up and down: "Why?" β
He couldn't figure out why the other party betrayed Chiyo, neither he nor the Wind Shadow Sect could give him a higher bargaining chip than Chiyo.
"Because I want to be Kazekage."
Orange Juro looked at each other like a fool.
Who in the upper echelons didn't know that he wanted to be a wind shadow, he didn't believe that Hoshino Mu didn't know, and now this person actually ran in front of him and said that he wanted to take the throne, what did he think?
"Chiyo doesn't support you?"
Hoshino Maki shook his head: "Chiyo-sama doesn't want to get involved in this dispute, after all, with Chiyo-sama's strength, no matter who is the wind shadow, it won't have any effect on her." β
Ignoring Orange Juro's increasingly ugly expression, he continued, "I was born as a commoner, and although I was lucky enough to get some military merits, I knew that my strength and talent would never be able to compete with the big clans, they were the arteries and cornerstones of this village, so I could only pursue my greatest honor, the Kazekage. β
"This is my ideal, and it is also the dream of every child in Shayin Village."
"I know that Lord Orange Juro is interested in the position of Kazekage, but dare to ask you, if you succeed to the throne of Kazekage, will you be able to compete with Chiyo-sama?"
Orange Juro was silent, he also knew it would be difficult. But with his position, if he wants to increase his influence, the channel is already very narrow, and weakening the Chiyo clan can only stay in his mind before the Kotaro incident, and even if it weren't for the traitor Hoshino Mu, Kotaro might not be able to make any waves at all.
The Chiyo clan is as stable as a rock, and he has to win over other tribes, looking at Shayin Village, he can't think of a better way than to become a wind shadow.
It just so happens that the disappearance of the three generations of Kazekage has given him this opportunity, and if he doesn't grasp it, he'll regret it for the rest of his life, even if his life doesn't last long.
"Why, you can help me suppress Chiyo if you become the Wind Shadow?"
Instead of answering, Orange Juro asked rhetorically.
Hoshino shook his head, "No, but at least there is one less person in the Council of Elders who opposes you." If you let Raksha..."
Orange Juro didn't look at him, his eyes lowered.
"Chiyo doesn't get involved in disputes, so her attitude towards Raksha's ascension is indifferent. But if it's you, especially after what happened to Kotaro, I'm afraid that the Chiyo clan won't have a good impression of you, and their voices are in one place, even Chiyo won't be indifferent. β
"Boy, that's what you're for, right?"
Orange Juro lost the pleasure of calculating Chiyo at the beginning.
According to him, he was just a knife in his hand.
The dignified Sand Ninja Elder was actually toyed with by a child, and the anger in his heart undisguised from his eyes.
"My lord, if I want to take advantage of you, I don't even have to tell you that I made the video. On the contrary, I tell the whole story enough to prove my sincerity, and if you tell the people of the Chiyo clan about it, I will die without a place to bury. β
Orange Juro met the other party's frank gaze, the two looked at each other for a long time, and Orange Juro slowly spoke: "What is your relationship with Chiyo now." β
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be too bad."
Orange Juro sneered: "If you don't cut ties with Chiyo, you want me to support you?" Are you stupid for me? β
"So what are you going to do? Against Chiyo's opposition and Raksha's fight for the position of Wind Shadow? IMHO, if you don't plan to carry out an armed coup d'Γ©tat, the Elders vote will be stable for you in the event of Chiyo's opposition. β
"My lord, Chiyo-sama does not participate in the competition for the Kazekage, but he will not let people who are hostile to him become the Kazekage."
Orange Juro fell silent, he had already regretted that his mind was exposed too soon, but there is no regret medicine in the world.
Chiyo knows him well, but people change, especially if the object is an old man with a strange personality.
It's not that he hasn't thought about the way of martial arts, but let's not talk about whether the clan can beat Chiyo and the Wind Shadow faction, recently the village has distributed a lot of supplies, and everyone's life is much better, even better than the people in the country they envied in the past, at this time, let them tie their heads to the waistband of their pants and fight, will they still be willing?
I'm afraid it's not scrambling to report it.
After being backstabbed by his allies, Orange Juro is not as confident in the power he used to have.
"Tell me about your plans."
"I'm going to send troops to Konoha..."
Hoshino Maki was interrupted by the other party in the middle of his words: "How to solve the nine-tails?" β
Hoshino Mu shook his head: "No, that's the hole card that Konoha will only use when it is critical." β
"What's your news?"
"It's just an inference that Jiraiya and Tsunade haven't heard from them for a long time, and combined with the time and place of their disappearance, I suspect that they have returned to Konoha."
"How I..."
As soon as Orange Juro spoke, he held back again.
I know this information, and ninjas of their level, the spies of the major ninja villages will definitely send back information if they find traces.
It's just that he didn't connect this information with Konoha at all, after all, the two have never been back after leaving Konoha for many years, and it seems that they have completely cut off contact.
Three Shinobi, this is a name that the older generation of Sand Ninja will never forget, they made Sand Ninja suffer too much on the battlefield of the Land of Rain.
Now that I heard Hoshino Mu say that the three ninjas gathered in Konoha and actually had to send troops, Orange Juro felt that the other party had lost lychees.
The influence of the three ninjas is not only their strength, but more importantly, they represent Konoha's tenacious fighting spirit.
Tsunade, the best medical ninja in the world;
Senjutsu ninja Jiraiya;
Before the water gate, Konoha's crown of talent, Orochimaru.
It's not so much the three shinobi as the three shadows.
As long as they don't fall, Konoha still has the courage to raise the knife.
This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Konoha , but it is bad news for other ninja villages.
"Do you know how strong the three shinobi are?"
Orange Juro frowned, this is one of the reasons why he doesn't like young people, he doesn't know the sky, he always overestimates himself and despises those ninjas who have been famous for a long time.
"I know, so we'll wait until the ninjas of the Three Ninjas and Yunyan are in a scorching situation."
"It's a little strange that you suddenly support sending troops?"
Orange Juro rubbed his chin, and the other party's words made him feel as if something was wrong.
But Hoshino Mu ignored it and continued: "I will bring all the soldiers and horses with Luo Sha, and agree that the one who enters Kikyo City first will be Kazekage!" β
