It doesn't matter, Lord Kazekage will make a move

Chapter 301 Shikaku’s curtain call
Mizuki's fate has actually been determined for a long time.

His loyalty to Konoha seems to be loyal, but if he tears through the outer layer of seemingly fearless death, he is nothing more than a speculator.

As a spy, he is suitable, but to hold this kind of person up as a role model may be a very satisfying thing for Suna Ninja and other people who hate Konoha, but this is obviously not conducive to his rule of Konoha.

Regardless of his identity or the form of betrayal, Mizuki will become the object of Konoha's rejection. In this case, let him live in the memories. This is a good thing for both parties.

Mizuki will understand. If there is anything you don't understand, let me know. Master Kazekage is very willing to accept opinions.

This matter was left to Kabuto, and Hoshino Maki gave him a lot of autonomy, which was not only a test for him, but also a trust in him.

But now, taking advantage of the confrontation between the two armies, Kabuto Yakushi found the opportunity to give Mizuki a face.

At least in the eyes of others, Mizuki is decent. How many people want to sacrifice for Suna Ninja but there is no way!

This is just a small episode in the battlefield that no one noticed. The focus of everyone is still on Hoshino Maki, where is the future of the entire ninja world.

Nara Shikaku's body fell into the hands of Hoshino Maki in full view of the public. Hoshino Maki held Nara Shikaku's neck with one hand and looked at Namikaze Minato who gritted his teeth and looked at him with a smile.

Namikaze Minato is perhaps the Hokage who is least like the Hokage. He does not have the talent for internal affairs like the third generation and the second generation, nor does he have the unparalleled strength and leadership of the first generation, but he is the one with the most "human touch" , like the big boy next door, people can't help but regard him as a close friend.

This includes his own personality factors, as well as the Tonton teachings of Konoha Ninja School.

As a Hokage who came out of the ninja school, he retained all the good qualities that the village instilled in him, including cherishing his companions.

And Nara Shikaku is not only a companion, but also the village's think tank, the head of the Nara family, and his friend. He is not sure that Nara Shikaku can be rescued before Hoshino Maki exerts his strength.

Moreover, he could vaguely smell the uneasiness factor in it, and his combat experience told him not to get close to the opponent.

This works better than anything.

Hoshino Maki ignored Namikaze Minato who was throwing a rat weapon. He looked up at the sky, looked at Nara Shikaku in his hand, and said in a brisk tone: "Good afternoon, Shikaku. Speaking of which, this is the first time we have done this. Let’s chat up close?”

Seeing Shikaku squeeze out a groan of pain from his throat, Hoshino Maki seemed to have just come to his senses and relaxed his grip slightly.

"Hoshino Maki"

Nara Shikaku looked at him, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his painful face, his lips opened, but no sound came out.

However, Hoshino Maki read his words, immediately threw him in the direction of Namikaze Minato, and ran in the opposite direction!
A breath or even a shorter time later, between Hoshino Maki and Namikaze Minato, a dazzling light suddenly appeared, exploded, and finally turned into a huge ball of light that set off a huge heat wave, melting everything it could touch.

Everything happened so suddenly that almost no one thought that things would develop in this direction.

Except for Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Almost as soon as Nara Shikaku grinned, Namikaze Minato realized that the other party had plans to die with Hoshino Maki. This was something outside the plan, or in other words, it was a plan that he didn't know about, a plan that belonged exclusively to Nara Shikaku. .

He instinctively leaned forward to save Nara Shikaku, but at the last moment his reason was to pull the reins and let him evacuate backwards, away from this explosion that no one could resist.

In the distance, Hiruzen Sarutobi stared directly at the ball of light engulfing the center of the formerly peaceful Konoha Village, and two lines of hot tears streaked across his old face full of grooves.He didn't know whether the tears were because the light was too dazzling, or because Nara Shikaku, who helped him make suggestions and played shogi with him, only existed in his mind from now on, or maybe both.

He watched Nara Shikaku grow up. As a child, he had helped the village solve many problems as the future commander of Ino Shikaku. From then on, he knew that this child named Nara Shikaku was different from others. He He is the right-hand man who can help him build Konoha.

Of course, he did not expect that this child would improve so quickly. When he was here, he already regarded Nara Shikaku as his most important helper.

He watched Shikaku grow a beard, get married and have children, and take the position of head of the family. He watched him calmly fight for the interests of the village at the negotiation table. He watched him stay up for days and nights in the Hokage's office thinking about the changes in the war situation. With him. So dazzling.

In the past, many things only needed to be answered by saying, "Shikaku, what do you think?" But from now on, this kind of scene will no longer happen.

Maybe, there is no future.

A flash of determination flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes. He looked at Hoshino Maki and Namikaze Minato standing at both ends of the huge pit. Especially when he saw nine orange and fire-like tails swinging behind Minato, he became even more determined. His determination.

"Linjiao"

"exist!"

The ANBU who had been guarding Sarutobi Hiruzen stood respectfully beside him.

"Go bring Naruto here."

Linjiao did not respond immediately, but paused for a moment.

As the ANBU belonging only to Hiruzen Sarutobi, their loyalty to Hiruzen Sarutobi was undoubted, and they also understood how terrifying it would be if this seemingly amiable old man decided to make a desperate move.

"Yes!"

After a brief pause, Kirikaku bowed his head in agreement, and the Anbu around him quickly moved closer to him. The palms in Hiruzen Sarutobi's sleeves quickly formed seals, using illusions to cover up the movements of several people under their sleeves.

I saw the palms of several people connected together, and the flying thunder array technique was deployed, teleporting the unicorns surrounding the center away.

On the other side, Minato is now a smaller version of Kyuubi.

Shikaku's death made him extremely sad. If it dragged on, he didn't know how many people would be affected. He was fed up with this bad feeling!

Hoshino Maki felt the same way.

I don't know if it was God's will, but what Shikaku said to him was almost exactly the same as what he said to Onoki at that time, otherwise Hoshino Maki wouldn't have reacted so quickly as if he had seen a ghost.

For a moment, he even wondered if Onoki was possessing Shikaku to seek revenge on him!

Fortunately, after repeated confirmation by him, Shikaku's aura had dissipated without a trace. This guy who had caused him a lot of trouble finally passed away. If he didn't want to make big news about himself in the end, Hoshino Maki might have Squeeze out a few crocodile tears to commemorate your respectable opponent.

He took a deep breath, and the tattered clothes on his upper body were completely dissipated under the influence of chakra flames. The bulging veins and muscles under the skin silently revealed the power that was about to explode. At this time, the deep purple samsara eyes stared at Namikaze. Door, the next moment, the two collided with each other!
