A Heavy-Handed Question from Sen as Kirigakure's Envoys Arrive, Leaving Them No Room to Respond
Two days later, Kirigakure's delegation arrived at Konoha.
They only stayed in the Hokage building for a symbolic ten minutes, and then directly proposed to go to the Uchiha station to meet with Uchiha Sen.
In Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other senior executives looked a bit ugly.
They knew that the civil strife could not be hidden from other countries' informants, but they did not expect that the other country would be so blatant and almost completely ignore Konoha's official face.
This is not an interview with Hokage. He is clearly here to see Uchiha Sen! If you don't know, you might think that Uchiha Sen is the shadow of Konoha!
Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his brows, suppressed the anger in his heart, and finally had no choice but to personally take Anbu and "escort" the three Kirigakure to Uchiha's station.
Sen has already received the news and has prepared a large living room, waiting for people to come.
The moment he saw the three members of the mission, Sen couldn't help but bring up a playful smile.
Unexpectedly, the people who came were actually Kirigakure, a young man in his twenties, a teenage Mei Terumi (ps: according to the original timeline, the other person should be still young, but who made me and everyone like it, you know!), and an angry Jūzō Biwa in his early twenties.
The three of them briefly greeted Sen and then walked straight into the station.
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen and two Anbu also wanted to follow, but were stopped by the Uchiha ninja at the door.
Qing turned around and saw this scene, with a contemptuous smile on his lips, "It seems that Konoha has quite a few forbidden areas. In some places, even Lord Hokage can't enter."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. As Hokage, how had he ever suffered such face-to-face humiliation!
"Let them come in." Sen's calm voice came, "It's just Shadow Clone, don't be so nervous."
Sharingan may not be able to directly see through Shadow Clone, but Sen's powerful perception has already noticed that there is almost no Anbu's chakra fluctuation around Sarutobi Hiruzen. He never believes that Third Hokage dares to take risks.
Uchiha Ninja heard this and let him go.
In the reception room, several people sat down in order.
Seeing everyone sitting down, Sen, whose green eyes were at the top, glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting in the second position, and asked like a provocation, "I didn't expect such a powerful Uchiha Sen to come out of your village. I want to ask, Uchiha Sen, are you going to take over as Hokage soon?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned three points darker than before.
"When do I need to report to you Kirigakure about the personnel appointments and dismissals in the village?" Sen took over the conversation, his tone turning cold, "It seems that there are still too few Kirigakure spies captured recently."
In just one sentence, he countered the other party's provocation.
"Indeed--indeed!" Sarutobi Hiruzen could only echo dryly, trying to expose the matter.
"Really?" Qing Ke was reluctant and continued with a smile, "But don't suddenly reconcile among yourselves just because you have a common enemy. That's not good news for us Kirigakure."
Sen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingertips tapped lightly on the table in a rhythmic manner, each tap seemed to hit everyone's hearts.
"I didn't ask you to come to the station to talk nonsense," he said calmly, and the scarlet Sharingan slowly emerged, "If you talk nonsense again, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of this gate today."
The moment the words fell to the ground, the air seemed to freeze, and all the Uchiha people looked at Qing who spoke with dissatisfaction.
Jūzō Biwa's hand has already grasped the Kubikiribōchō knife handle behind his back, Qing's one eye has narrowed into a slit, and his whole body muscles are tense.
According to the intelligence, what the man in front of me is best at is a lightning strike in an instant.
The most surprising thing was Mei Terumi. Not only was she not afraid, her beautiful green eyes were full of sparkle, and she looked at Sen with a bit of appreciation and curiosity.
Handsome and domineering, he is simply the most ideal husband!
No wonder such a strong person could kill Suikazan Fuguki in our village!
No, isn't he an enemy? What are you thinking?
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Kirigakure and everyone suddenly lost their composure, and felt a morbid feeling of joy in their hearts.
He cleared his throat and said slowly, "Sen's temper has always been like this. Don't take it off. Let's talk about business."
With the steps up, Sen also took back Sharingan, tapping his fingertips on the table impatiently. "Tell me, why did you come to my site?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's newly relaxed mood was suddenly blocked again: What is your territory? This is Konoha!
Jūzō Biwa on the side snorted coldly, put down his hand from the weapon, and said solemnly, "Of course I'm here to demand compensation from you Konoha!"
"Second Shinobi World War, you killed countless of our Kirigakure ninjas, and even Seven Ninja Swordsmen's Samehada was taken away by you! This account must be settled!"
Hearing this, Sen was a little stunned.
He even turned his head, looked to the side Sarutobi Hiruzen and asked, "Third, I didn't participate much in the later war with Land of Water. Did we lose?"
"How is that possible!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said flatly, "Land of Water's combat power has always been mediocre, Konoha has never lost to them on the frontal battlefield!"
Now Sen was really surprised. He looked at the three people opposite him with great interest. "The victorious country wants to pay compensation to the defeated country? This is the first time I have heard of it. Are you serious?"
Mei Terumi also interjected. "You Konoha and Shimura Danzō used despicable tactics to kill many of our comrades! You must repay this blood debt! Otherwise, the war will start again!"
Sen looked at the confident looks of the three people and smiled puzzledly, "I'm curious, where does your confidence come from?
You might as well tell me and listen, maybe if I am happy, I will really compensate you."
Jūzō Biwa stopped talking nonsense and took out a scroll directly from his arms and threw it over.
Sen was not worried about being deceived, so he caught it and unfolded it. After a moment, he raised his eyebrows and threw the scroll to Sarutobi Hiruzen beside him.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took the scroll and glanced at it before his expression completely changed.
The scroll is densely recorded with information about Uchiha Sen!
From birth, participation in the war, opening Mangekyo, to the details of the internal fighting with Hokage, and analysis of abilities - the level of detail even exceeds the files of Konoha Anbu!
His eyes were fixed on the note at the end of the scroll:
[This person is extremely capable, cruel, and extremely dangerous. Within a few years, he is very likely to surpass Madara Uchiha and subvert the Five Great Nations structure. He has repeatedly publicized in public that he wants to unify Shinobi World and destroy other countries!]
[Disadvantage: lustful. (According to the intelligence of our female medical ninja Yumeno, among all the women who were enemies with her, she was the only one who survived, and she had a good impression of Sen afterwards.)]
"This is definitely not information that one village can collect!" A terrifying thought emerged in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart: other ninja villages have joined forces!
Cold sweat slowly slipped from his forehead.
Although Konoha is the leader of Five Great Shinobi Villages, its geographical location is also the most dangerous, surrounded by four major countries.
In the two Shinobi World wars, they have never truly fallen into a situation of being surrounded on all sides. But now, Konoha, which has just ended World War II and has not recovered its vitality, is simply impossible to fight against all the ninja villages at the same time!
Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was a little dry. "Are you—are you going to activate Third Shinobi World War?!"
Seeing Konoha, Hokage and Sen fell into shock and contemplation. Jūzō Biwa felt greatly relieved and felt that his great revenge had been avenged.
He said proudly, "So, compensation is necessary! Each of our five villages deserves at least one billion taels! In addition, all disputed border territories must be ceded! We Kirigakure don't ask for much. All the coastal areas in the east of Land of Fire can be assigned to us!"
"Wishful thinking! Then Land of Fire will be eaten away by you step by step!" Sarutobi Hiruzen snapped at the table.
In a tense atmosphere, Sen, who had been silent, finally slowly spoke.
"It's interesting. I have two questions."
