Chapter 166: Inventory of Watermelon Mountain Completed
【Kisame successfully completed the mission according to Xiguashan's suggestion to kill his teammates and keep the information, but his personal mentality also exploded. 】
【On the other hand, Obito saw that the information was not given in vain, and failed to stir up the water in the ninja world and make Kirigakure enemies everywhere, so he looked at Xiguashan with a new eye and wanted to kill him to eliminate future troubles. 】
【It was just that Obito himself was controlling the Fourth Mizukage and it was inconvenient for him to do it, so he soon used the identity of Mizukage to coerce and lure Kisame, and used Samehada and position as rewards to get rid of Xiguashan. 】
【Xiguashan's status was not as good as Mizukage, and Kisame, who absolutely obeyed orders, could only be forced to carry out the task of Mizukage. 】
【So, Xiguashan, who was not vigilant about his subordinates, was plotted by Kisame without even pulling out Samehada, and was accused of colluding with the enemy country after his death. 】
"From this point of view, Obito has made contributions to Konoha, or to other ninja villages except Kirigakure."
Hearing the words of the Third Hokage, everyone's faces were a little complicated.
They all have their own judgment on the strength of the Seven Swordsmen.
Judging from the information on the surface, each of the Seven Swordsmen has the strength of a veteran jonin, and the best of them have the strength of an elite jonin.
During the Third World War, the Seven Swordsmen bypassed Konoha's front-line troops and went deep into the heart of the Land of Fire.
At that time, if Might Dai had not stood up and fully opened the Eight Gates, killing four and driving away three with his own life, Konoha would have suffered a great loss.
To put it more seriously, the front-line troops may have lost the war with Kirigakure because of the harassment of the Seven Swordsmen in the rear.
This is not an exaggeration. In the absence of Kage-level ninjas, the Seven Swordsmen are the ceiling for ordinary jonins.
Fortunately, Konoha produced a wall-hanging Might Dai, who kicked the first generation of the Seven Swordsmen into the Three Auspicious Treasures and stabilized the rear, which allowed Konoha to win the victory over Kirigakure.
Obito was able to kill such a person, which was indeed a great achievement.
"Old man, do you still want to reward Obito for his merits?"
The Third Hokage took a puff of cigarette and replied lightly: "Not impossible."
The Fifth Hokage Jiraiya asked in surprise: "Old man, are you serious?"
The Third Hokage shook his head, "It depends on the opinions of the Fourth Hokage and all of you."
Because of the resurrection technique, Obito's problem has changed from the original unforgivable to the current minor.
Whether Obito will be pardoned or not depends mainly on what the Konoha high-level officials think.
Coincidentally, as the parties involved in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the opinions of the Fourth Hokage and his wife are very important.
"Don't rush this."
Minato did not express his position directly.
He hasn't even seen Obito yet, so it's too early to talk about pardon now.
Minato looked at Kushina and thought to himself: At least, let my wife vent her anger first.
"By the way, what do you think about this?"
The Third Hokage and the Fifth Jiraiya looked at each other, and the Third Hokage replied: "Jiraiya and I are inclined to let Obito return to Konoha."
"Is that so? Then let's talk about it after we talk to Obito himself."
"Okay, let's remember that Obito used Kisame to kill Xiguashan, and see if we need to use it later."
When Obito returns to Konoha, this matter can be used as his achievement, and he can be portrayed as a ninja who has been performing secret missions for many years for the sake of the village.
At that time, when Itachi returns, the same operation can be carried out.
If Obito does not come back, then this matter will naturally not be used.
[In summary, Xiguashan used only Kisame to protect the Hidden Mist Village under the most unfavorable circumstances, which is indeed a feat. ]
[And even people like Zabuza who tried to revive the Hidden Mist Village are struggling to run alone and become a rebellious ninja. ]
[Xiguashan is still in the organization after his death, and is still a Jōnin of Kirigakure in the Book of Formations. ]
[He is one of the few honorable ones among the seven members of the group. ]
[As for the charge of colluding with the enemy country, it has not been circulated in later generations. Referring to the case of the Fourth Mizukage Yagura being overturned by Mei Terumi, Xiguashan can barely imagine that Mei Terumi also overturned his case. ]
[Of course, since there is no evidence, I will stop here. ]
[Xiguashan, who supported Kirigakure for a while with his wisdom and life, how can he not be considered to have fought for Kirigakure. ]
[Mei Terumi wants to marry after hearing this, and Mei Terumi wants to abdicate after hearing this. ]
Mei Terumi: Ugly rejection, thank you!
"Teacher Tobirama, do you want to send some people to Kirigakure?"
"What do you think?"
In Tobirama's office, Shimura Danzo looked at Teacher Tobirama and said with a little excitement: "Since we know that the Fourth Mizukage is this man named Yagura, can we make arrangements in advance? Whether it is to kill the other party or to win over the other party, this is a very good choice for us."
"So that's what you are talking about."
Turning his head and looking at the light curtain again, Tobirama continued: "I sent people a long time ago."
"Huh? When did it happen?"
"After Uchiha Itachi finished his inventory."
Shimura Danzo knocked his head in annoyance, angry at his own carelessness.
Yagura had appeared in Uchiha Itachi's video a long time ago. Although he was only mentioned briefly, it also showed that he was the Fourth Mizukage.
He should have reminded Tobirama at that time, but he missed an opportunity to leave a good impression.
He really regretted it.
"Tobirama, you sent people to Kirigakure to contact the future Fourth Mizukage? Isn't this sending them to die?"
Beside him, Hashirama, who heard the conversation between Tobirama and Danzo, was a little unhappy. He was very dissatisfied with Tobirama's behavior.
"Don't worry, I'm not sending out ninjas, but a serious caravan."
"Caravan?"
"Yes, let these people get in touch with Yagura's clansmen through business, and indirectly win over Yagura. The disadvantage of doing this is obvious, that is, it takes too long, but the advantage is also obvious, people who do these things are not easy to be detected. After all, they are really doing business, not being spies."
". Just keep it in mind."
[Finally, make a strength evaluation that is popular with everyone. ]
[In the Fourth Shinobi World War, Xiguashan was resurrected by Kabuto Yakushi in the form of Impure World Reincarnation. ]
Kabuto Yakushi: Yes, it's me again!
[However, Xiguashan's weapon Samehada has long fallen into the hands of Kisame, resulting in him having no weapon to use. ]
[Many allied ninjas laughed at him, saying that you, a Seven Swordsman without a sword, are just your younger brother. ]
[As a result, Xiguashan used the technique of the Thousand Hair Needles to beat him into a younger brother, suppressed the ninja coalition, and was evaluated as a man who did not have Samehada on his hands and would not have any blind spots. ]
[Finally, his soul ascended to heaven. ]
[The Ninja Swordsmen are known for their ninja swords. Except for the ninja swordsmen of the beheading sword lineage, the difference between those with swords and those without swords is very large. ]
[When Xiguashan was drawing the sword during his lifetime, even a strong man like Kisame had to rely on his connections and the deployment of ninja tools to kill Xiguashan who did not have time to draw his sword. ]
[In terms of strength, Xiguashan is definitely inferior to Kisame who used Samehada, otherwise this person would be exaggerating. ]
[After all, in the original work, he did not even have a plot to use Samehada. ]
[But among the Seven, he is at least in the forefront. ]
[A scum like Kurochu Raiga did not even qualify for the Impure World Reincarnation during the Fourth War. 】
【The two-meter-high watermelon mountain is extremely useless, but Kabuto Yakushi still spent a huge amount of money to bring the person out of the dirty world. This shows the disparity between the seven people. 】
