Stopped Them, but Not Completely
"If we're going to talk, we need to be sincere."
After saying this, Yugito Nii looked at Kakashi and the others.
Sincerity? What kind of sincerity?
Kakashi glanced sideways at Kanami.
He just killed dozens of Cloud Ninja, plus an Elite Jonin and an ordinary Jonin.
How else can we show sincerity?
We can't just hand Kanami over to you to kill, can we?
Kakashi felt a little helpless.
Even if he were bold enough to hand Kanami over to the other party, Tsunade would definitely not agree.
Moreover, whether they can defeat the current Kanami and Hinata is another matter.
His eyes looked like those of a dead fish as he said helplessly, "Tell me your request first, Fifth Raikage."
He was somewhat curious about what conditions the Yugito Nii could still propose for negotiation at this point.
"What if my condition is that your Konoha hand over Akane?" the Yugito Nii asked calmly.
"Impossible," Kakashi shook his head decisively. "This isn't something I can decide alone. Besides, a genius who can fight and even defeat the Fourth Raikage —I don't think the Lord Hokage will hand over Akane anytime soon."
What a joke! Even if he were to hand it over, he wouldn't say it outright. The person involved is right behind him; if he dared to say he would hand it over, wouldn't he be betraying Konoha on the spot?
His combat strength Muu Muu Kai with others, but his intelligence is Muu Muu Kai.
He couldn't possibly be Muu Muu Kai if Yugito Nii such a silly question.
Behind them, Kanami and Hinata listened silently to the conversation Yugito Nii and Kakashi.
What is she trying to do?
No normal person would say "hand it over" to the person in question, right?
At the very least, it should be hinted at, such as assassinating someone during the signing of a peace treaty between two countries, for example, the hero Pakura from Sunagakure was killed by his own people on the way.
Just testing the waters?
Kanami rested one hand on his chin, seemingly lost in thought.
"Alright then," the Yugito Nii, their expressions remaining unchanged.
"That Byakugan Princess next to us, isn't that Hinata Hyuga? Since all of this started because of her Byakugan, how about we hand over her eyes as an apology?"
Before she finished speaking, the air around her suddenly became more oppressive.
"Gulp."*n
Everyone present could feel a pang of anxiety. Cloud Ninja, who was already somewhat nervous, immediately started drooling and swallowing hard.
The one who brought this feeling was none other than the red-haired boy standing there, holding the black-haired, white-eyed girl's hand.
Kanami's expression remained calm as ever, though he casually glanced at the Yugito Nii.
After sensing the gaze, the Yugito Nii glanced at each other slightly, their expressions unchanged, before quickly looking away.
It seemed she had anticipated this reaction from the other party.
"Lightning Shadow, do you really want to negotiate?"
Kakashi spoke coldly, lifting his Konoha forehead protector to reveal his other scarlet eye, ready for battle at any moment.
They repeatedly challenged Konoha's bottom line, or rather, Kanami's bottom line.
Kakashi was clever. At this point, regardless of whether war would actually break out, he had to show a sense of declaring war so that Kanami and Hinata could feel Konoha's respect for them.
What he couldn't understand was how the Yugito Nii could become the Fifth Raikage if they were really that stupid.
Go through the back door?
That's absolutely impossible; it's only possible that someone else got in through her connections.
In terms of strength, he might be capable, after all, he's Tailed Beast Host. But in terms of intelligence, how could he possibly mobilize the entire village?
"Don't rush, this is a negotiation. If it's unreasonable, we'll keep talking," the Yugito Nii said with slight smiles, appearing calm and composed.
"Since Byakugan doesn't work, then..."
Just as everyone was listening intently to what outrageous conditions she might propose for the third time, a commotion suddenly arose behind Kanami and the others.
Besides Kakashi, Kanami and the others turned around and saw a familiar figure.
The main reason is that the green bodysuit and watermelon head hairstyle are too eye-catching; it's hard not to recognize him.
The group consists of three men and one woman: Choji Akimichi, Neji Hyuga, Tenten, Rock Lee.
"Kanami, we're here to help you!"
Rock Lee waved his arms excitedly, his signature smile shining even brighter in the sunlight, momentarily matching Might Guy's smile.
"What's going on? Didn't you stop them?"
Xiang Body Flicker Technique forward and asked a Anbu Guard dressed in a black robe and wearing an animal mask.
"They managed to stop it... but not completely."
The Anbu in the black robe replied sullenly.
As planned, they stopped all the candidates from competing in front of them. Although most people didn't believe it at first, and even thought it was part of the exam, they had no choice but to believe it after the Anbu showed their killing intent and set up Barrier Ninjutsu.
Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, several examinees rushed towards them, forcing them to dispel the Barrier Ninjutsu.
Their goal was to stop and halt the exam, not to harm the candidates, which is why some candidates came over.
"Wait a minute," Xiang suddenly sensed something was amiss upon hearing the explanation from the Anbu members. His brows furrowed beneath his mask. "You said some of the examinees came over. Are there more than just those four?"
He instantly realized the problem.
The Anbu's tone immediately weakened as he said, "Yes, yes, there was also a dark-skinned girl with green hair and two other examinees who claimed to be protecting her. They were both from Takigakure."
elephant:?
"Seven people were released at once?"
Hearing the elephant's angry voice, the Anbu lowered his head and didn't dare to reply.
Fortunately, the current ruler is Lady Tsunade, not the Third Hokage or Danzō Shimura.
If it were just the two of them, let alone releasing seven people, even releasing just one would absolutely not escape punishment.
Only with the Fifth Hokage in power do you dare to be so lax.
It's like a sigh of deep emotion.
"Oh right, what about the other three people from Takigakure?" Xiang suddenly remembered.
"This, that..." the Anbu stammered again.
"Speak." Xiang frowned, his tone filled with authority.
"Yes, sir. Of those three, the green-haired, dark-skinned girl can fly, so we couldn't catch her. The other two are Jonin- level, but there were too many examinees, and we didn't have time to stop them."
His tone changed, and the other person immediately spoke clearly, as if they were a completely different person, and their speaking speed increased by at least twice.
Okay, okay, so you don't even know where one person is?
What if something happens to someone taking the exam? How will they explain it then?
Although people can die in the Chunin exam, as every country and village knows, we haven't even reached the Desert of Demons yet, and the death waiver hasn't been signed!
The elephant-headed man was numb.
