Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching...

After confirming Minato's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued:

"But this statement doesn't mean we will directly send ninjas to assassinate Sosuke. We can discuss it with them first. If it's feasible and the price is acceptable, then we can form an alliance."

He still prefers to unite with other major ninja villages to curb the development of the Ninja Clan, which is really beneficial to Konoha.

If Iwagakure had come to Sarutobi Hiruzen when he wanted to avenge Danzo Shimura, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have definitely joined in and dragged Kirigakure together to destroy the Ninja Clan.

dong dong.

Mu Yue tapped the table very lightly with her fingers, looking thoughtful.

"Then do as the Sandaime said and discuss it with them first." Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to speak again, Mu Yue spoke.

Minato Namikaze seemed to want to say something but hesitated and ultimately did not speak.

This decision has been made taking his opinion into consideration. In this ninja world, peaceful development is still too difficult.

Konoha did not rush to reply to Iwagakure, but instead gave the message to Kirigakure and asked for Kirigakure's opinion.

If Kirigakure could be pulled onto the chariot, that would naturally be great. The alliance of the five major ninja villages is something that has never happened since the ninja village era.

After receiving the news from Konoha, the Third Mizukage urgently convened a high-level meeting to discuss the matter.

In the end, all the top leaders agreed that following the big brother of Konoha was the right thing to do.

If Konoha participates, then they will participate too. If Konoha does not participate in the end, then they will not participate either.

The main reason is that Kirigakure really has no other good choice.

If they don't participate, it will be a problem what Konoha will think of Kirigakure. The other four major ninja villages are all participating, but Kirigakure is the only major ninja village that doesn't participate. Isn't this being unsociable?

They can only follow Konoha's choice.

After confirming Kirigakure's intention, Konoha formally replied to Iwagakure, expressing its willingness to hold talks and discuss the matter first.

"Sure enough, Konoha can't accommodate the ever-expanding Ninja Clan." Seeing Konoha's reply, Ohnoki felt relieved.

If Konoha cannot be brought on board, the three-village alliance will inevitably face conflicts due to the Ninja Clan's advance into the River Country.

The Hidden Cloud Clan obviously does not want to have a major conflict with the Ninja Clan because of this matter.

How can the River Country not affect the Lightning Country and the Hidden Cloud Village?

On the contrary, the contradiction is directly exposed, and the cooperation between the Hidden Cloud Village and the Six Paths City will end directly.

The three villages secretly plotted against the Ninja Clan, but Iwagakure and Kumogakure actually cooperated with the Ninja Clan openly.

The Hidden Cloud Village mainly started cooperating with the Six Paths Castle after the Ninja Clan focused on developing technology.

Although the Kumogakure ninjas often give the impression of being reckless, the Kumogakure's technological level is actually very high and is among the top in the ninja world, especially in the field of electricity.

If Konoha is brought in, there will be a chance to take down the Ninja Clan in one go, which is completely different from organizing the expansion of the Ninja Clan in River Country.

Even if the cooperation is over, Yunyin will not feel that it is a loss.

Rasa was happier than Onoki.

This was definitely the best news he had heard since the end of the Ninja World War, and Rasa was so happy that he wanted to drink to celebrate.

The five major ninja villages have come together to deal with your small ninja sect, how can they not defeat you?

It’s stable!

However, before the leaders of the five major ninja villages started the meeting, the two sides just exchanged information and began to feel confused.

"Sosuke's protective ninjutsu can actually block Ōnoki's Dust Release when he uses his full strength?!" Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned by the information shared by the three villages.

During the battle, Sosuke took the Five Elements Great Range Bomb head-on, but when he used the Five Elements Great Range Bomb, he used another method to evade it. Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought that Sosuke's protective ninjutsu could not withstand the bombardment of the Five Elements Great Range Bomb.

But in terms of power, Ohnoki's Dust Release is stronger than his Five Consecutive Bullets.

Even Ohnoki's full-strength Dust Release couldn't break Sosuke's defense, so his five consecutive bullets were even more impossible.

Then the reason why Sosuke used another method at that time was very simple, he just used it when he wanted to.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little hurt.

It feels like you did something that you thought was embarrassing, and you carefully looked around, but found that no one cared at all, which made you even more embarrassed.

"Sosuke actually has the ability to eliminate ninjutsu." Ohnoki frowned.

Compared to Sosuke, the previous generation of ninja god, Hashirama Senju, is more like a normal ninja.

Senju Hashirama created a forest in an instant, and Uchiha Madara spit out a sea of ​​fire. This is easy to understand. It's just a change in nature and more chakra.

But what the hell is this with Sosuke? He can easily block the protective ninjutsu of Dust Release, eliminate the unknown secret technique of Five Great Continuous Bullets in the blink of an eye, and even summon heavy black ninja tools out of thin air.

The cooperation among the five major ninja villages has temporarily reached a deadlock.

They sent their respective confidants to discuss the issue, but no conclusion was reached.

Because Sosuke in the intelligence is really difficult to kill.

The protective ninjutsu that can block Dust Release and the ability to eliminate ninjutsu allow Sosuke to maximize his survivability. Coupled with his powerful physical skills, few people can stop Sosuke if he wants to leave.

Someone came up with an idea. Each major ninja village sent out a group of elite soldiers to risk their lives to block Sosuke and consume his chakra. Finally, the top powerhouses headed by Mu Yue would appear.

After all, no matter how powerful a ninja is, his chakra is limited. If he doesn't have enough chakra, no matter how powerful he is, it will be useless.

But this created a new problem: how to get so many elite ninjas close to Sosuke.

If so many ninjas go to the Ninja Sect together, they can directly conquer the Rain Country.

If Sosuke couldn't find this number of ninjas, he wouldn't be worthy of being recognized as the new ninja god by the major ninja villages.

Moreover, the price to pay for doing so is too high. Not only will Konoha Kirigakure not agree, there is also strong opposition within the Three Village Alliance.

They wanted to kill Sosuke, but not for the sake of killing. They had their own plans and did not want to lose too much strength.

But things soon took a turn for the better.

The Ninja Clan announced that it will hold a martial arts tournament again. This time there will be no age limit, and the first place winner can challenge Sosuke.

The astute Ohnoki immediately smelled the opportunity hidden in it.

The martial arts conference means that they can legally bring a large number of elite warriors to Liudao City.

Secondly, challenging Sosuke itself is a rare assassination opportunity.

As the first to receive the winning reward, Sosuke will definitely show mercy to the first one.

If the first one is a top-level expert like Mu Yue, even if he cannot kill Sosuke alone, he can still consume a lot of Sosuke's physical strength and chakra.

When the time comes, the elites from the five major ninja villages will take advantage of the opportunity to attack, and Sosuke will have no way to escape. At most, he will take a few people with him.

Because of the alliance of the three villages, Rasa and the Third Raikage were the first to know Ōnoki's idea.

Luo Sha could only say that the old ones are the wisest. This Ohnoki is indeed a veteran who has been active in the ninja world since the early days of the Ninja Village era. He is really sinister.

Not long after, Konoha and Kirigakure also learned of Ōnoki's latest plan.

After a discussion, the Konoha high-level officials believed that this martial arts tournament was indeed an opportunity, so they decided to join the alliance and bring together Kirigakure and Mimura to assassinate Sosuke.

However, Konoha did not directly agree to Ohnoki's plan, but proposed a highest-level talk and invited the Kage of each village to the Land of Fire to hold a meeting to discuss the final plan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others generally agreed with Ōnoki's plan, they just didn't want Mu Yue to be the one to challenge Sosuke.

Theoretically, there is no danger during the challenge.

But why would Konoha gamble with Mu Yue, the Hokage who will definitely grow up to be the next Ninja God?

After a lot of wrangling, the Kages of the major ninja villages all agreed to Konoha.

It is really impossible to refuse. There are many strong people in Konoha. If you want to kill Sosuke, Konoha is an indispensable force.

The final meeting was held at the border of the Land of Fire near the Land of Field.

Since the meeting was held in secret, Ohnoki and his colleagues did not bring many ninjas with them.

Of course, although there are not many people, each of them is a good fighter among the senior ninjas.

Originally, there were only five seats for such a "Five Kage Talks", and only the Kages were qualified to sit and hold meetings.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen also came. As the former Hokage, the Kages couldn't afford to give him a bad face, so they added a seat for Sarutobi Hiruzen next to Mu Yue.

Minato Namikaze could only stand behind Mu Yue.

The Fourth-generation Ai, who was standing behind the Third-generation Raikage, looked at Minato Namikaze with some regret.

It won't be long before he will inherit the position of Raikage, but Minato Namikaze probably won't be able to become Hokage.

By the time Mu Yue abdicated, Namikaze Minato was already past the age to be Hokage. After all, they were equally young.

Chapter 721 Five Shadows Appear Together

"Mu Yue is not suitable as a challenger to consume Sosuke's chakra." Sarutobi Hiruzen said straight to the point.

During the challenge, Sosuke is unlikely to be harsh towards Mu Yue, as he is worried about his allies.

By the time the challenge was over, Sosuke's chakra was consumed, but Mu Yue's chakra was also consumed.

Perhaps other ninja villages would accidentally hurt Mu Yue, whose combat effectiveness had greatly decreased.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was never afraid to assume the worst of his fellow ninja.

In order to reduce losses and gain profits, Kirigakure can backstab the three major ninja villages and rebel against Konoha.

In order to preserve their interests, Iwagakure, Kumogakure and Sandagakure can put aside their past hatreds and unite.

The ninja village has always been profit-oriented. As long as the profit is sufficient, there is nothing that cannot be done.

And for all ninja villages except Konoha, what is the best outcome of the martial arts tournament? Is it to successfully kill Sosuke?

No, Sosuke and Mu Yue died together!

The two of them are too advanced for the current ninja world, and no one wants such strong people to appear among the ninjas of other villages.

"Third Hokage, you are underestimating young people. The strength of the Fourth Hokage is obvious to all. Although he is young, his strength may not be much worse than Sosuke." Ohnoki retorted.

Judging from Mu Yue's performance in the final battle of the Third Ninja World War, Mu Yue still has a long way to go to catch up with Sosuke.

However, two years have passed, and Mu Yue must have made some progress. Moreover, he wants Mu Yue to play, so he must praise Mu Yue more. After all, it doesn't cost money to praise her.

"The Fourth Hokage is indeed very powerful. In today's ninja world, he is probably second only to Sosuke."

The Third Mizukage said with a smile, without expressing his opinion, but just followed up by praising Mu Yue's strength.

Luo Sha wanted to speak, but didn't.

If others praise Mu Yue, it might be understood as polite flattery, but if he praises Mu Yue, it means he admits defeat.

Because Luo Sha was once seriously injured by Mu Yue's punch on the battlefield.

The Third Raikage did not speak either. He leaned back in his chair with his arms folded over his chest and looked at everyone quietly.

As the center of the topic, Mu Yue also did not express any opinion.

Some things are really not suitable for him to say.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression remained unchanged as he continued:

"It is precisely because Mu Yue is so powerful that she cannot be a challenger."

"Sosuke possesses powerful defensive ninjutsu and his physical skills are far superior to those of ordinary people. If there is no strong person like Mu Yue who masters the Flying Thunder God Technique and has powerful offensive means to take action, Sosuke is likely to escape."

In addition to worrying about his allies taking the opportunity to backstab him, Sarutobi Hiruzen did have this consideration.

If Sosuke ran away, the consequences would be unimaginable.

No ninja village can withstand the torment of a ninja god, not even Konoha.

If Sosuke did nothing and just focused on killing the Konoha ninjas, the Konoha ninjas would be scared every time they left the village unless they stopped doing missions.

"What the Third Hokage said makes sense." The Third Mizukage nodded in agreement.

Although it can be seen that Sarutobi Hiruzen is preserving Konoha's power, there is indeed nothing wrong with this logic.

Ohnoki thought for a moment and said:

"Then who should be the challenger? Let me be frank. I have fought Sosuke before and was defeated quickly and miserably."

"I'm willing to be the challenger, but if I were to face Sosuke, I'd probably be defeated by him in a few minutes, and there would be no way I could drain a lot of his energy and chakra."

Ohnoki honestly admitted that he was not capable of this.

In the circles of high-ranking officials of the five major ninja villages, Sosuke is already recognized as a god-level ninja, and it is not shameful to be inferior to Sosuke.
