Naruto: I can synthesize psychic beasts

He believed that Minato Namikaze, who had suffered a setback at the hands of the Yugen Village, would never miss such an opportunity to join forces to deal with the Yugen Village.

If there was no other way and he couldn't take over Yugen Village, Rasa wouldn't even want to drag Konoha into it.

After all, given the current situation of Sunagakure, cooperating with Konoha is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.

But even so, Luo Sha's idea was very firm.

A large ninja village like Konoha, backed by a super-rich country like the Land of Fire, is completely beyond the reach of the current Sand Village. The same is true for other large ninja villages.

The surrounding small ninja villages, such as the Demon Country, are neutral countries and cannot be attacked at all. Moreover, small countries like the Bear Country and the Bird Country will not gain any benefits even if they are swallowed up. Instead, they will lose a buffer zone around the Wind Country.

In the Hidden Rain Village of the Land of Rain, although the reputation of Hanzo of the Salamander is still loud, Luo Sha does not take it too seriously.

Young Hanzo may be very powerful and be called the demigod of the ninja world!

But the current team is already old and frail, so how much combat effectiveness can they exert?

Therefore, the Hidden Rain Village, which still seems strong to outsiders, is now just a paper tiger in Luo Sha's eyes.

The day when Hanzo the Salamander dies will be the end of the Rain Kingdom!

But even so, Luo Sha had no intention of attacking the Rain Country.

The Hidden Rain Village with Hanzo is very powerful, but it is poor! The residents of the poor Rain Country have lost their families and been separated from their wives and children.

"This is a country even poorer than Sunagakure!"

This is the true portrayal of Luo Sha's inner heart.

That's why Hanzo Salamander launched wars everywhere in order to break the plight of the Rain Country and move towards a bright future.

Therefore, even if such a country is defeated, it will not gain any benefits at all.

It is completely different from the wealthy tourist country - the Land of Hot Springs!

Therefore, the only choice he had was the Kingdom of Soup.

There is only the Yugakure Ninja Village that has long been famous in the ninja world!

Only by capturing Shangguan Mo can his Sand Village survive!

Chapter 424 The wind rises and the sand is hidden 7

Konoha Village.

Hokage Building.

A Konoha Anbu pushed open the door of the elder's office.

As I entered the door, I saw a thin old man sitting behind a desk on the right.

The Anbu ninja hurried forward.

Seeing the arrival of this Anbu ninja, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly.

"Why are you here? Did something happen with the Fourth Generation?"

No wonder he asked this. He was the one who placed this Anbu ninja next to Minato Namikaze, nominally to protect the other party's safety, but in fact he was a spy who monitored the other party's every move at any time.

He believed that Minato Namikaze was actually well aware of this.

Normally, if there was nothing going on, this Anbu ninja would never come here to find him in person.

Something urgent must have happened.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought.

"Third-sama, the Fourth-sama has chosen to receive the envoys from Sunagakure. The visiting diplomatic delegation is led by Sunagakure advisor Ebizo and elite jonin Maki, a group of over a hundred people."

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was surprised by this information, he quickly regained his composure.

The other party had sent a formal diplomatic application to Konoha in the name of the Kazekage a few days ago. In this way, he, the former Hokage, suddenly lost the right to intervene, otherwise it would be a violation of the rules.

Neither he nor Minato Namikaze wanted to break the rules. They both wanted to limit the power struggle within a certain scope and try not to harm Konoha.

only......

Sarutobi Hiruzen still couldn't figure out what the purpose of Sunagakure's high-profile visit was.

"That's just talk about negotiating the compensation repayment method!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind raced, but he couldn't find a satisfactory answer. But soon, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression turned very grim.

"When did Minato secretly connect with Sunagakure? This time, he actually ignored me and went straight to him..."

The feeling of losing power was extremely unpleasant, making Sarutobi Hiruzen look very ugly, and his face was even gloomy and uncertain, which shocked the Anbu ninja beside him.

"The third generation looks like a devil from hell!"

......

"Do you know what that guy Ebizo's purpose is this time?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked the Anbu ninja again.

There had been no news about Ebizo for many years, and he thought this guy had retired, but he didn't expect him to suddenly show up at this time.

And based on Sarutobi Hiruzen's understanding of Ebizo, that old fox must have some hidden secrets coming here this time!

"This... I don't know. The Fourth Hokage is meeting with the other party in the reception room, and I and others can't get in..." said the Anbu ninja helplessly.

"Hmph!" Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted coldly. "He kicked you all out. It seems that the Fourth Hokage doesn't want me to know anything about this operation at all!"

In such an atmosphere, the Anbu ninja on the side wisely chose to remain silent.

He was promoted by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he had been following the other's orders for so many years that the master-servant relationship had long been deeply rooted.

But in his opinion, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was the Hokage recognized by the Daimyo and the entire Konoha. Logically, he should follow the orders of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze...

"Then...what should we do next, Third Hokage?" After thinking for a while, the Anbu ninja asked in a low voice.

"Since the Fourth Hokage doesn't want me to know, what can I, the former Hokage, do? You don't need to ask any more questions, just continue to protect him! If there are any special situations, please report to me at any time!"

"Yes!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes deeply as he watched the Anbu ninja leave with a gloomy expression.

He murmured. "Minato, Minato, why are you so stubborn? The Uchiha problem has been doomed since the Second Generation. The roots are too old and the implications are too great. How can a young man in his early twenties like you solve it..."

Although he didn't know why Minato Namikaze had completely concealed the specific content of the diplomacy from him this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen keenly felt that the trust between him and his disciple had become increasingly weak!

Chapter 425 The wind rises and the sand is hidden 8

Hokage Building.

living room.

Minato Namikaze sat in a separate main seat, with two masked Konoha ninjas standing beside him.

His target was the Sand Village envoys sitting in a row on both sides.

Sitting at the head of the group on the left was an old man with a thin face, a white silk scarf wrapped around his head, and a Sand Village ninja forehead protector on his forehead.

"Mr. Ebizo, this meeting is very pleasant. As for your proposal to shorten the repayment period, I naturally agree. The following details will be slowly negotiated between Konoha and Sunagakure. So, today's meeting..."

Minato Namikaze's words were quickly interrupted.

Ebizo showed a faint smile on his face and waved his hand gently.

The members of the Sand Village delegation behind him understood and stood up and left.

Soon, there were only five figures left in the entire reception room.

Looking back, Namikaze Minato looked at the unremarkable Sand Village ninja hiding behind Ebi, his eyes slightly fluttering. "Who is this..."

"Oh! Sorry, Your Excellency the Fourth Hokage. It was my mistake. Maki, come and meet Your Excellency the Fourth Hokage."

Maki stood up and bowed slightly to Minato Namikaze with neither arrogance nor humility.

"Sagakure jonin, Maki, greets His Excellency the Fourth Hokage."

"You're welcome, please sit down."

After saying this, the official smile on Minato Namikaze's face slowly disappeared.

"Alright, Mr. Ebizo, there's no one around now. You can always tell me what's going on, right?"

As for discussing the compensation, Sunagakure could just send someone over. Why would this elder, who could be considered a veteran, have to come in person?

However, if he had not wanted to prove to Sarutobi Hiruzen the legitimacy of the power in his hands as the Fourth Hokage, and at the same time wanted to enhance his influence among the Konoha ninjas and villagers, he would not have bothered to meet this old man.

After all, the relationship between Konoha and Sunagakure has always been that of two warring parties!

.......

Seeing that the other party no longer spoke politely, Ebizo stopped pretending.

Straightening his expression, he looked at Minato Namikaze.

"I thought my reason was perfect. I wonder how the Fourth Hokage could see it?"

It is Ebizo's usual tactic to praise the other party subtly and lower their guard.

Who knew that after hearing this, Minato Namikaze still remained expressionless and didn't buy his trick.

I only heard the other party speak lightly.

"The reason why you, the Sunagakure Advisory Elder, came here personally couldn't be just for a mere compensation!"

"Sure enough, to be able to become Hokage, this guy has more than just extraordinary strength..." Ebizo was also slightly surprised, feeling that this young man Namikaze Minato really possessed some of the calmness and shrewdness required of a Hokage.

"Hehehe..." He laughed twice, shook his head and sighed.

"It seems that I still can't hide it from the Hokage, so..."

Ebizo slowly put his hand into his arms.

Seeing this, the two masked ninjas behind Minato Namikaze's expressions changed and their bodies tensed up.

A flash of scarlet appeared in the eyes of one of the ninjas, and the aura revealed in an instant made Ebizo and Maki of Sunagakure unable to help but look over with surprise on their faces.
