Chapter 363 Enough of Minato, I Am the Hokage!

The air was quiet.

Namikaze Minato and others looked at each other in shock, although they knew that Prince Ai and the others must have kidnapped Neji, and they and the others must have been fooled by Prince Ai.

But Neji was indeed not in this carriage, and Namikaze Minato had been too full of words just now, and he really couldn't get off the stage at this moment.

What should I do? Do I really want Dogeza to apologize, or should I just fight with Prince Ai and the others? But the problem is that Neji's traces have not been found yet, and there is no point in fighting with Prince Ai.

"Wow~"

Just as Namikaze Minato and others were hesitating, the baby in the carriage suddenly cried loudly. Maybe he was hungry again, after all, he had not finished feeding him milk just now.

"You must look good to Konoha." The princess glared at Namikaze Minato and closed the car curtain again.

Prince Ai glanced at Namikaze Minato with schadenfreude and said, "Well, then Neji is not in the carriage.

Namikaze Minato, isn't it time to fulfill your promise just now? "

Apologizing to the Raikage candidate, this will be a lifelong shame for Namikaze Minato, and the entire Konoha will be unable to hold its head high in the future.

But Minato was too upright, he had dropped his words just now, and the atmosphere was in place. If he didn't leave his seat at this moment, he wouldn't be able to stand down now.

The master gritted his teeth and was about to bend his knees when he was suddenly stopped by Hinata Hizashi.

"Wait a minute, Hokage-sama."

Hinata Hizashi said loudly: "This incident happened because of me, and you made this promise as a guarantee for me. There is absolutely no reason for you to apologize on my behalf.

Raikage candidate, I, Hyuuga Hizashi, am willing to die to apologize. I believe that the weight of an elite Jonin is enough to calm your anger. "

After saying that, Hinata Hizashi condensed chakra with his hands, circulated the true meaning of Rou Fist, and slapped himself on the forehead.

Hinata Hizashi was horrified, why did he suddenly want to commit suicide? He kicked Hinata Hizashi to the ground with a flying kick, and argued: "I am the leader of the Hyuga clan.

The order to attack the Yunyin Mission was also given by me, and I will die as well. "

"I am Hokage, and I have made a promise. There is absolutely no reason for you to die in my place to apologize."

…

Namikaze Minato and the three Hyuga brothers argued endlessly, each wanting to take the blame on themselves.

"Okay, okay."

Prince Ai waved his hand impatiently and said calmly: "Namikaze Minato, we will not pursue this matter today.

Dogeza just said casually, in the entire ninja world, you are one of the few opponents who deserve my respect. If you ask me to do so because of a trivial matter, it will only make me feel ashamed.

This matter has been revealed today. Please go back. I just hope that you will keep your eyes open in the future and not admit the wrong person again. "

"Thank you." Minato Namikaze thanked him very straightforwardly.

There was no need for Dogeza, and no one needed to die. Although Neji didn't catch him, the ending wasn't too bad.

Ningji's pursuit failed, and Prince Ai issued an expulsion order. Namikaze Minato could only lead the Hyuga brothers and others back to Konoha.

Then he took the Hyuga brothers and hid in the Hokage's office, secretly discussing Neji's plan to pursue 2.0.

Today's matter has been revealed, but there is still tomorrow's matter.

Minato was upright and upright, and he would not be so stupid as to really think that Prince Ai was trustworthy and stop pursuing Neji's matter.

No matter what, we have to get Neji back.

The three of them talked to each other and finally came to a conclusion. If you want to get Neji back, you must fight, and fight immediately.

When Neji arrived at Cloud Hidden Village, no one knew how he would be treated. And this is a blood-stained ninja whose bloodline is comparable to that of the clan, and who has not been carved as a caged bird.

It must be taken back as soon as possible.

The current high-end combat forces in Konoha include Minato, Sannin, Hatake Sakumo, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, and half of Mai Uchiha.

Mai Uchiha has taken up the post of the Fifth Mizukage. Recently, she has spent more time in Kirigakure Village than in Konoha, so she can only be considered half a Konoha ninja.

As for Kumogakure Village, there are the Sandaime Raikage, AB Brothers, and the Two-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

The high-end combat power is doubled, and the basic combat power of Konoha is slightly superior. There is no reason why they can't win. Minato believes that one blitz is enough for Kumogakure to hand over Neji.

After discussing the decision, Namikaze Minato took the Hyuga brothers to Sarutobi Hiruzen's house to ask Sarutobi Hiruzen's opinion.

It is said to be an inquiry, but in fact it can also be said to be a request for instructions.

Namikaze Minato took office less than a year ago, and his political methods were far inferior to those of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Mai Uchiha. He was named Hokage but did not fully control all departments in Konoha.

It is up to the Sandaime to decide whether to send troops or not.

"I don't agree with the plan to storm the Cloud Hidden Village and force the Cloud Hidden Village to hand over Neji."

Sarutobi Hiruzen dismissed Namikaze Minato's request without thinking and poured cold water on the three of them.

"But Neji is from Konoha." Namikaze Minato argued.

"Who is not from Konoha?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked coldly, and then asked Sarutobi Biwako to fetch a set of Go, played with the chess pieces on the chessboard mountain, and explained: "Minato, you still haven't thought about it.

Neji is from Konoha, but you, me, and the ninjas you expect to be thrown into the battlefield are also people from Konoha.

The Ninja World War has just ended, and we signed a non-aggression agreement with Kumogakure Village a few days ago. Everyone in Konoha hasn't had time to breathe a few breaths of peaceful air.

Now just because of Ningji, you have to become a warrior again. Have you ever thought about how many people will sacrifice for this?

Before, we were defensive and counterattacked, taking advantage of the geographical location, because we did not need to take risks. A ninja force of 3,000 people was enough to resist an enemy force of 6,000 people.

The terrain of the Kingdom of Thunder is much steeper than that of the Kingdom of Fire, and Yunyin Village is located in the mountains, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Konoha is the attacking side. Facing the Kumogakure that occupies a strategic location and defends it, the advantage in combat power on paper will be completely lost in a real fight.

We will be dragged into a war of attrition again, because we are far away from the Fire Country, and the consumption in all aspects will be at least twice as high as fighting in the country.

As the saying goes, if you make a big effort, then it will fade, and then it will be exhausted. The possibility of taking over Yunyin Village in a short time is not high, and this possibility will gradually become smaller as time goes by.

Not to mention, if Konoha takes the initiative to attack Kumogakure, it will most likely trigger a series of chain reactions. Kirigakure, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure may all take advantage of the situation to attack Konoha's rear. "

Kirigakure, did you say something wrong?

"Mai is the Mizukage of Kirigakure Village, and Kirigakure Village is Konoha's reliable ally." Namikaze Minato reminded.

"A suspicious ally," Sarutobi Hiruzen corrected.

In the past year, Uchiha Mai controlled the Hollow and Uchiha, and had fought with Sarutobi Hiruzen more than once in various departments of Konoha, and even gained the upper hand.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has fallen from his peak, and his spirit is no longer what it used to be. He is mature and cautious, and does not want everything he is familiar with to change too much.

Mai Uchiha is determined to make progress and wants to smash everything and start over again. She has enough tactics and tricks, and she is the strongest in the ninja world as a deus ex machina.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was once suppressed by Mai Uchiha, now no longer trusts Kirigakure Village.

"Not talking about Kirigakure's problem, Lord Sandaime, I don't think Kumogakure can withstand our blitzkrieg. We are worried about sneak attacks from other ninja villages, and Kumogakure will have the same concerns.

Kirigakure and Konoha joined forces, Sunagakure Village was beaten to the point where it couldn't lift its head, and Iwagakure Village had an old enmity with Kumogakure Village.

As long as we can gain an advantage in the early stage, Yunyin Village will probably be unable to withstand the pressure and worry about being tricked and have to hand over Neji. "

Namikaze Minato argued hard and told his suspicions.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly, agreeing with Minato's opinion, and then asked: "It's very possible, how likely is it?

Have you ever considered human nature? Everyone in Hidden Cloud Village is a war fanatic. Just a slight disadvantage in the early stage makes the possibility of them handing over Neji far less likely than you think.

Tsunade has been studying game theory recently. To put it bluntly, the chips required to attack Cloud Hidden Village are too many, but the rewards are too little, and the odds are not ideal.

Minato, repent. "

"Repent, I don't know where I went wrong, why should I repent!?"

A trace of anger arose in Namikaze Minato's heart, and he felt aggrieved by Hiruzen Sarutobi's cold-bloodedness. He raised his voice a bit and asked, "Are you just watching Kumogakure Village take away our blood successor ninjas? Don’t do it?”

"of course not."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head slightly and said calmly: "What Kumogakure Village wants to obtain is the Byakugan Blood Succession Limit, and it will not do anything to Neji in the short term.

It would take at least ten years for Neji to grow up normally and become fertile. In other words, we have ten years to wait and plan.

You can arrange an undercover agent to go to the Hidden Cloud Village to fight for Ningji, or you can wait for the opportunity in these ten years, and then attack the Hidden Cloud Village when a flaw is revealed and an accident occurs.

There is no rush to rescue Neji. "

Namikaze Minato did not agree with Sarutobi Hiruzen's idea and questioned: "But the ninjas in Kumogakure Village are very united. I have read Konoha's undercover files and the success rate of placing undercover agents in Kumogakure Village is the lowest.

Secondly, the Sandaime Raikage is getting stronger and stronger, the Raikage candidate Ai Yongwu is not inferior to his father, and the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki and the Two-Tailed Jinchuuriki are both less than twenty.

I don’t see the possibility of something unexpected happening to Cloud Hidden Village in the next ten years. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and said calmly: "That proves that Neji has no destiny to return to Konoha."

So what if Kumogakure gets Neji? So what if Neji can have children in ten years? How many can he have, and how many generations can his descendants reproduce?

Those are all problems that will really erupt in the next twenty years, or even the next thirty or fifty years. If you keep waiting, you will always have the opportunity to solve them.

But if we send troops now, hundreds and thousands of ninjas will die immediately. Sarutobi Hiruzen chose to suppress the problem for the time being and wait until it really breaks out later.

Namikaze Minato really couldn't agree with the Sandaime's opinion, so he stood up angrily and said loudly: "Sandaime-sama, what if I insist on attacking Kumogakure Village and capture Neji to boost Konoha's prestige?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's closed eyes suddenly opened, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he sternly rebuked: "That's enough Minato, I'm the one..."

The rebuke stopped abruptly, and Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly remembered that he was no longer the Hokage, but just a Hokage assistant.

Taking a deep breath to calm down, Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes again and said calmly: "You are the Hokage of Konoha, and you have the right to initiate war on any ninja village on behalf of Konoha.

Including Kirigakure Village.

Although I don't agree with your ideas and concepts, no matter what decision you make, I will not stop you. "

Namikaze Minato remained silent, knowing that Sarutobi Hiruzen did not support his decision.

Whether to stick to his own opinion or choose to respect his master and obey the Sandaime, Namikaze Minato hesitated for a moment, but chose the latter.

"I understand, Sandaime-sama, thank you for your teaching."

Namikaze Minato bowed to Sarutobi Hiruzen, led the Hyuga brothers, whose full names could not be interrupted and acted as little transparent, and silently left Sarutobi's house.

Wandering the streets of Konoha like a zombie, Namikaze Minato, who had encountered a major setback in his life, was blind-eyed and fell into self-doubt.

Kumogakure kidnapped a blood-thirsty ninja right under his nose. The pursuit failed, and the blitz plan was not recognized by the Third Generation. Could it be that he was not suitable to be Hokage?

Thinking about it carefully, dancing is better. I will ask my opinion on everything. When I make suggestions to myself on some policies, I will basically give myself three suggestions to choose from.

Mai also actively contacted major ninja villages and clubs in the ninja world, organized various summits, and cared about the current affairs of the ninja world, the economic status of Konoha, and the present and future of Konoha.

Dancing is better.

"I'm sorry that I failed to convince the Sandaime-sama." Minato apologized to the Hyuuga brothers.

Hinata Hiashi forced a smile and said: "Hokage-sama, you have done everything you can do.

It's because we were careless. For one Ningji, it's not worth letting Konoha go to war. The Sandaime-sama is right, there are plenty of opportunities in the future. "

On the surface, he said so, but in his heart, Hinata and Hizu had a lot of resentment towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The Hyuga clan has always been the loyal dog of the Hokage family. When the fourth generation ran for election, Hyuga Hizashi followed the advice of Sarutobi Hiruzen and voted most of the Hyuga clan's votes for Minato.

After all, there are people in the Hyuga clan who work under Mai Uchiha, such as Hyuga Kagetora, so it is unrealistic for them all to join Minato.

As a result, Sarutobi Hiruzen is now resorting to this trick, refusing to save Hinata until death. Although Sarutobi Hiruzen's idea made some sense, it would inevitably make people uncomfortable.

"well."

Namikaze Minato sighed, if he were Mai as Hokage, could he convince the Sandaime...

etc.

Namikaze Minato's eyes suddenly brightened up and he said, "No, there may be a turning point in rescuing Neji."

Turnaround! ?

The Hyuga brothers were slightly startled, the Sandaime disagreed, and the Hokage was disappointed, so what chance could there be?

Namikaze Minato pointed to the direction and reminded: "If it's Mai, there might be a way. He always has ideas."

The two Hinata brothers looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.

It is indeed possible for Uchiha Mai to solve this problem.

However, the relationship between Hinata and Uchiha was not very good. When the fourth generation ran for election, Hinata sided with Hiruzen Sarutobi, that is, Minato.

Now that he was frustrated under Sarutobi Hiruzen, if he turned around and asked Uchiha Mai, wouldn't he seem too spineless and too charismatic.

The wealthy ninja world must have backbone!
