Soon.
Konoha's letter requesting alliance again was sent to Three Great Ninja Villages.
However.
No surprise...
"Go away!!!" X3
Three Great Ninja Villages once again refused without hesitation.
And still refused very directly.
only.
This also puzzled many ninjas in Three Great Ninja Villages.
After all, now facing Kusagakure who will take control of the Five Ninja Village, forming an alliance is also a good choice for them Four Great Ninja Villages.
Especially as Kusagakure grows stronger, Shinobi World understands that... Four Great Ninja Villages and Kusagakure will conflict again sooner or later because of their interests.
Therefore, it is indeed advantageous to maintain the alliance for now!
But I don't understand... why did their shadow refuse so directly?
You must know that during this period, the four shadows can be said to have shared joys and sorrows... and have a friendship of being captured together. If the alliance can be maintained, the relationship between Four Great Ninja Villages will definitely be further improved.
However, their shadow refused!
Especially here at Kumogakure...
Their Fourth Raikage even showed a special dislike for the letter from Konoha.
You must know that although the other two major ninja villages refused, they would still be tactful.
However.
Their Raikage just said "Go away" and drove people away!
No sympathy whatsoever for Four Great Ninja Villages!
Could it be that during Kusagakure, there was some conflict between the four shadows?
"Lord Raikage, why do you reject Konoha's proposal to maintain an alliance? I have to say that for us Four Great Ninja Villages, this is currently the best option to fight against Kusagakure. Many people in the village are very confused about this!"
The words just fell.
Upon hearing the inquiry from his most trusted assistant, Samui, Fourth Raikage, who had already returned to the village, raised his head and sighed, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes, then shook his head and said, "You don't understand! That's fine~"
As he said that, he seemed to understand the dilemma of the ninjas in the village. After thinking for a while, he threw the newspaper in his hand to Samui.
"You'd better see for yourself!"
"???"
Although she was confused about why Lord Raikage was so weird and gave her a copy of BBC Daily, Samui, as a ninja, still took the newspaper in her hand.
only.
After taking a quick glance, everyone fell silent.
I don't know how much time passed.
Then he asked with a calm yet weird look on his face, "Is this... really?"
"Although it is very unbelievable, as a ninja... no matter how outrageous things are, it is possible to happen." Raikage nodded and said with emotion, "Especially during this period... After experiencing so much, even as Raikage, I have to believe it~"
The words fell.
"..."
After so much?
What happened?
Samui looked at the newspaper in his hand again with a silent expression.
Then.
He raised his head again and looked at Lord Raikage in front of him, remembering that since Lord Raikage came back, his life... living habits have changed a lot.
For example, I used to like taking baths with other strong men in the village, but since I came back, I heard... I don't like taking baths with so many men.
And now I prefer to wash in a single room with the door tightly closed and alone.
And... I no longer like to wear those shirtless clothes!
It seems like I have gone back to the time before I became Raikage... No, it is even worse than before. At least the clothes Lord Raikage wore before would still expose her arms, but now she likes to wear long sleeves.
In response to this, Master Killer B was also quite melancholy, wondering in his heart what Lord Raikage had experienced in Kusagakure.
Now it seems...
Samui hesitated for a moment, his eyes were filled with sympathy and anger, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed and said, "Lord Raikage... Thank you for your hard work!"
"Hard work? As Raikage, this is what I should do, but..." Fourth Raikage was confused for a moment, but after a while he shook his head with a wry smile, "I still believe in Konoha so much! That it caused me to be like this?"
"It's not Lord Raikage's fault!" After hearing Lord Raikage's words, Samui shook his head, hesitated, and then said, "Who could have known that such outrageous things Kusagakure said could actually be true!"
"Yeah~, we even mocked Konoha at that time!"
However.
Just when Fourth Raikage, with his hands behind his back and a look of sadness on his face, was about to finish speaking, Samui opposite him also spoke with emotion on his face.
in unison.
"I didn't expect "Cursed Konoha" (the relationship between Third Hokage and Shimura Danzō) to be true!"
The words fell.
"..."X2
Both of them fell silent and looked at each other.
Wait...
Are they saying the same thing?
Then...
Fourth Raikage glanced at the newspaper in Samui's hand and saw "Shocked!" The unknown secrets of Third Hokage and his best friend! "When I saw it, I suddenly came back to my senses.
I realized that I had just picked up the wrong newspaper.
He pretended to cough twice and quickly took back the newspaper in Samui's hand. He smiled boldly and said, "Hahaha, I'm sorry I took the wrong one!" He took another newspaper and stuffed it in, and said with a serious face, "This is what I want to say."
The words fell.
"..."
Samui looked at the newspaper in his hand silently, then raised his head and looked at Lord Raikage in front of him.
She now understands... why Lord Raikage rejected Konoha.
Cursed Konoha!
She also knew about this matter. It was quite popular back then!
only.
At that time, they all regarded this as Kusagakure's slander and slander!
"That's right!" Samui nodded and said calmly, "As Hokage... how could that happen?"
Just.
There seems to be some regret in the tone?
Hearing this, Fourth Raikage raised his eyelids, but thinking of what happened at Kusagakure some time ago, he raised his eyelids again, and said with a strange and melancholy expression on his face, "This... maybe it's not fake!"
"???"
Just when Samui was looking forward to it, Fourth Raikage waved his hand again, "Forget it, this is Konoha's private matter, let's not talk about it so much!
Let the ninjas below pay attention during this time. This time, my wrong decision caused Kumogakure to suffer too heavy losses. We Kumogakure must recover as soon as possible!
In addition..."
There was a slight pause.
"When you encounter Grass Ninjas while performing tasks outside, try to run as far away as possible to avoid any contact with Grass Ninjas!"
"..."
Helpless.
Although she was curious about what Lord Raikage just said, as a ninja... since Lord Raikage had given the order, she had to give priority to the task.
Samui nodded, entered work mode instantly, and said seriously, "Understood! I will inform you later!" Then he seemed to think of something, "Lord Raikage, Kusagakure's trade and communications..."
"First follow the regulations, but if it threatens Kumogakure's status!" Fourth Raikage·Ai's muscles bulged, he immediately held up his slim long-sleeved top, and said calmly, "Immediately refuse any request from Kusagakure!"
"Yes! There are also Takigakure and Otogakure... Recently, Kusagakure has been acting very frequently!"
"Ignore it!" Fourth Raikage waved his hands melancholy, "And we can't stop it now!" He seemed to remember something, and after a slight silence, he said, "By the way, during this period, check the ninja Forehead Protector among the ninjas in the village. Once you find another ninja Forehead Protector from the ninja village, you will be treated as a traitor and killed on the spot!"
"???"
I heard that Lord Raikage issued such a task for no reason?
As long as there is another ninja Forehead Protector from the Ninja Village, just kill him on the spot?
Isn't this a bit harsh?
You should know that some ninjas also like to collect ninjas Forehead Protector from Benin Village as trophies.
Samui was stunned for a moment. Although he was full of doubts, he saw Lord Raikage's serious expression and understood that Lord Raikage was serious. He nodded and said, "I understand!"
Then he looked at Lord Raikage, who had a melancholy look on his face and had not given any more tasks.
With a sigh of regret, he bent down slightly.
"I'll go down and carry out the mission of Lord Raikage, and I won't disturb you!"
"Trouble! Close the door by the way!" Fourth Raikage waved his hand.
After Samui went down, he looked through the window with a dejected look in the distance and let out a long sigh.
There's nothing I can do about it, those Grass Ninjas are really... so elusive!
Even if one day the Cloud Ninja next to him is suddenly replaced by Grass Ninja Forehead Protector, he won't feel weird~
"Grass!"
Just when this word came out of my mouth uncontrollably.
The voice of his foster brother came from outside the door, "Brother! Big brother! I'm here to take a bath with you! We haven't bathed together for a long time! Yo, let's have a conversation between men~"
