Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 923 Undercurrent
'The teacher has repeatedly emphasized my identity as the fifth generation, and obviously does not agree with Uchiha Fugaku's approach, but thinks that I can handle this matter well, but what can I do? '

'Peaceful evolution, fairness, justice, difficult, really difficult...'

The more I think about it, the more upset and incomprehensible I feel. In addition, I don't want the Konoha ninjas to kill each other and weaken the power of my subordinates. Minato is rarely confused, and feels helpless for a while.

'Forget it, wait and see, maybe there will be a turning point? '

……

Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye, it is December, Konoha is about to usher in its 12th year, and Kushina is about to give birth. At the same time, the half-year period agreed between the Hyuga clan and Kirigakure is gradually approaching.

In the peaceful and stable Konoha Village, there are hidden undercurrents that are not known to the villagers. The sensory ninjas sent by Minato have been secretly staring at the Hyuga Clan for nearly two months, but found nothing.

The Hyuga clan, from the patriarch to the elders, to the branch ninjas, seemed to have all quieted down, and the frequency of clan meetings gradually returned to normal.

Although Minato hoped that he was thinking too much, Fugaku and the teacher also thought too much, but the faint sense of uneasiness in his heart still made him have to be vigilant and guard against the current situation...

It seems peaceful, but it looks like the situation before the storm.

It wasn't until December 12th that Minato was worried about Kushina's delivery situation, so she temporarily put aside her attention to the Hyuga clan and devoted her energy to Naruto's birth.

Outside Muye Village, Minato and Lei Luo walked together. They walked up the steep rock wall and quickly jumped into a cave. At this moment, more than a dozen root ninjas were waiting near the entrance of the cave. Salute respectfully.

In the middle of the towering cliffs, a hole that can accommodate three or five people to advance side by side was artificially dug. There are lanterns hanging inside and a stone road leading directly to the depths of this unknown mountain.

This is a base at the root, built extremely concealed, and the characteristics of being halfway up the mountain make ordinary people unable to come up at all. Tens of meters below, there are bursts of rushing noises from the rushing river.

"Teacher, I've always felt a little uneasy recently, as if something big is about to happen." Minato waved back the gatekeeper Genin, and said a little worried while following Lei Luo into the cave.

"Big thing?" Lei Luo glanced at Minato casually: "What big deal could it be? Let me tell you, since I'm standing here now, no one in this world can pose a threat to your wife."

As he said that, Lei Luo paused for a moment, and slowly added in Gujing Wubo's tone: "Even if that woman Bing goes crazy and calls suddenly, I will definitely be able to protect Jiu Xinnai's mother and child."

In the flat tone, there was a self-confidence that looked down on the world. Minato did not doubt the authenticity of the teacher's words, so even though his heart was still filled with some kind of foreboding, he still forced himself to calm down and didn't say much.

In the aisle of the mountain base, it can be called five steps, one person, ten steps and one sentry. There are patrolling root ninjas everywhere. In some rooms, there are hidden masters who maintain the operation of the perception barrier. The level of vigilance is higher than that of the original book. No less.

In the innermost room, Lei Luo and the two saw Jiu Xinna lying on the bed with a weak expression on his face, surrounded by several medical staff in white coats, constantly checking the tools at hand.

In addition, there were two female root guards standing guard indoors, and bowed respectfully after seeing the two of Lei Luo.

"Four generations of adults, five generations of adults."

After saying hello, Minato hurriedly ran to the bed and chatted with the ugly Kushina in a low voice, saying nothing more than "hold on", "with us here, you will be fine", and so on.

Lei Luo observed the Minato couple for a while, and noticed that Kushina was looking at him. He nodded slightly to him, then turned around, pushed the door out, leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and took a nap.

Madara Uchiha died a long time ago, and Obito has not turned black, not to mention that I am watching now. Although Kushina's childbirth will cause the seal to loosen, it should not be a big problem no matter how you think about it. '

"Although it is possible for Bing to calculate the time of Kushina's delivery, even if she wants to make trouble, at most she will send some dog legs over. The peace treaty was signed by the Nation of Fire and the Federation..."

'If she acted rashly and provoked another world war not long after the war ended, it would undoubtedly irritate everyone's emotions, causing even Kirigakure ninjas to be alienated from her. '

Silently analyzing Mizukage's position in his mind, Lei Luo chose to ignore the others. After all, except for Bing, no one in the entire ninja world is his opponent, so there is no need to think too much, which will only increase worries.

At the same time, the border between the Land of Soup and the Land of Fire.

In the distance, among the rolling hills, the setting sun is slowly setting. Standing on the top of a towering cliff with hands clasped in ice, the bitter mountain wind blows, and the large water shadow cloak flutters.

It was dusk, and the night was gradually falling. There seemed to be a sense of silence and chill in the air. Bing's eyes were flat, looking at the Land of Fire and the ninjas stationed near the border.

The place where we settled is the Land of Tang, about 1000 meters away, is the Land of Fire. There are ninja outposts on both sides of the clear border. Even if you are not close to there, Bing can clearly feel it...

Between the Ninja of the Fire Ninja and Tang Ninja, there is a tense atmosphere.

"Teacher, are you sure... this won't anger Lei Luo?" A female voice sounded from behind, with a hesitant and uneasy tone. Bing turned his head slightly, looked at the nervous orange-haired girl, and said with a casual smile. :
"Since the Land of Fire can't retain talents, then Kirigakure will take over."

"Hinata chooses which ninja village to join, it should be their freedom, and only a domineering guy like Lei Luo will come up with a lot of laws called treason, which are actually restricting the personal freedom of ninjas, right?"

As he spoke, Bing spoke slowly, with a bit of sarcasm on his face, obviously not taking Lei Luo's anger seriously. In fact, the reason why she is standing here at this moment is not to step into the territory of the Fire Kingdom...

Already, a huge concession has been made.

Seeing that her teacher didn't care, Terumi Mei also calmed down, and didn't say anything more, but beside him, there was a young strong man with light yellow short hair and a rough face, and said with eyebrows:
"Mizukage, your behavior has constituted a provocative nature in a strict sense. If the Kingdom of Fire wants to be held accountable in the future, the pressure of Yunyin must also be borne by you Wuyin."

He squinted at the strong man, and through the eyes under the other's bamboo hat, Bing could read what Ai wanted to express, and simply replied calmly: "Don't worry, Raikage belongs to the Federation camp. If the Fire Nation sends troops Hit you..."

"I'm Bing, I won't sit idly by."
