"Lord Hokage, Kirigakure will definitely become Konoha's strongest allies!"
Chōjūrō bowed respectfully to Tobirama Senju, without raising his head for a long time, as if waiting for Hokage's reply.
Kirigakure no longer wants Jinchuriki, nor is he an enemy of Konoha. On the contrary, he will become a firm ally with Konoha. This is something that everyone is happy with!
In this Five Great Ninja Villages, Iwagakure was destroyed and Sunagakure failed to recover. They Kirigakure and Konoha formed an alliance., if Hidden Cloud is taken down in one fell swoop. Such big Shinobi World, Konoha eats meat, how can they Kirigakure also drink soup?
Of course, the premise is that Hokage agrees to them.
Everyone behind Tobirama Senju looked happy. If they could easily pull Kirigakure into their camp, with the strength of the two great ninja villages, wouldn't it be possible to easily wipe out Hidden Cloud and unify Shinobi World?
Darui At this moment, the backs of his palms were covered with dense beads of sweat. He wanted to say something, but he did not dare to interrupt Hokage's thoughts, so he could only sit in a daze. Several Cloud ninja also looked at Darui anxiously, hoping that Kumogakure's think tank would have good ideas.
Just when they thought Hokage would not refuse, Tobirama Senju spoke coldly.
"Kirigakure, what qualifications do you have to be an ally of Konoha?"
In an instant, the atmosphere in the room solidified.
Chōjūrō's bent body trembled slightly, and he raised his head in disbelief.
"Lord Hokage, uh, this..."
Chōjūrō wants to refute Tobirama Senju's words and describe the huge benefits brought by the alliance between the two villages.
But then he thought about it and realized it instantly!
Kirigakure seems really unqualified to be Konoha's ally!
Due to the huge weakening of Kirigakure's strength by Blood Mist Policy, their basic ninja strength of Kirigakure seems to be slightly stronger than that of Sunagakure after being severely damaged.
It seems that the only high-end combat power available in the village is Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi.
Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist is called the pillar of Kirigakure.
Kubikiribōchō Zabuza Momochi defected after failing to assassinate Fourth Mizukage, Samehada Kisame Hoshigaki defected after killing Fuguki, and Thunder Blade Ringo Ameyuri died of illness.
They all died, defected and defected, and the remaining Ninja Blade couldn't even choose a successor.
Almost all the blood step families in the village were slaughtered because of Blood Mist Policy.
On the other hand, Konoha not only has Hokage who is powerful enough to be an enemy!
Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the two Legendary Sannin are second in strength, comparable to the shadows.
Kakashi Hatake, the elite Jonin known as "Copy Ninja"!
Might Guy, who had not been famous before, was even more of a heavyweight. With one powerful move, Taijutsu directly defeated Sunagakure's strongest puppet master, Chiyo's mother-in-law!
There are various powerful ninja clans in the village, Hyūga, Akimichi, Nara, Yamanaka... countless.
Konoha It seems that Shinobi World can be unified without joining forces with any village?
How can they compare Kirigakure with Konoha?
"Then what do you mean..." Chōjūrō carefully looked at Hokage's eyes, trying to understand them, but all he saw was a pair of dead silence without any emotion.
"Konoha doesn't need allies. You Kirigakure have only two choices."
"One, surrender to Konoha and let Konoha station troops in Kirigakure!"
"Two, become an enemy of Konoha, and then be destroyed by me!"
"You choose!"
The words fell.
"Hiss~" Not only Chōjūrō's expression changed, but also Cloud ninja and Konoha couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Tobirama Senju, he is too...
"Lord Hokage, this, this."
Chōjūrō was stammering and speechless. His somewhat weak character made him anxious and seemed about to burst into tears. He turned around and faced the several Mist ninja who came with him, showing a bitter face.
After several people communicated quietly for a while, Chōjūrō finally forced a smile and said to Tobirama Senju sincerely:
"Lord Hokage, these two choices are too important."
"None of us are qualified to make a choice for Kirigakure."
"Why don't we go back to the village and report Mizukage, we promise! We will definitely give you, Konoha, a satisfactory answer!"
Having said that, several Mist ninja were walking on thin ice waiting for Hokage's sentencing.
one second
two seconds
three seconds
"Okay."
After hearing Tobirama Senju's words, their tense nerves finally relaxed, as if they were prisoners who had been rescued.
Hokage's pressure is too strong!
The strong aura emanating from his body almost overwhelmed several people.
"Lord Hokage, we will go back and report to Master Mizukage immediately!"
After getting a reprieve, several Mist ninja bowed to Tobirama Senju and Konoha one by one, and then cautiously left the conference room.
"Lord Hokage, we will get back to you as quickly as possible!"
After Chōjūrō finished his last sentence, he gently closed the door of the conference room from the outside.
After saying goodbye to the gatekeeper Konoha ANBU again, several people left Konoha while talking.
"What should I do?"
"Forget it, this kind of big thing is not something we can worry about. Let's leave it to Master Mizukage and Master Genji."
Soon, several people were on their way back to the village.
Looking at the cautious looks of several Mist ninja, Tobirama Senju shook his head in amusement.
Kirigakure, there is really no need to attack.
After all, Jinchuriki in their village had been quietly transferred to Konoha.
If Mei Terumi can make the right choice, then it is not impossible to let Kirigakure exist for a while longer.
Yes, for a while.
Five Great Ninja Villages, or Five Great Nations, will be included in the land of Konoha sooner or later, it is just a matter of time.
His main goal now is to first gather Tailed Beasts and then destroy Akatsuki! Only then will he have time to attack the various countries and villages of Shinobi World.
"Lord Hokage, we..."
Seeing that Kirigakure's people had left, Darui, who was finally able to speak, couldn't bear it anymore.
"Shut up!"
However, Tobirama Senju's attitude this time is completely different from when he treated Kirigakure just now!
Looking at the Darui who had the blood of Storm Release and defeated Kinkaku Ginkaku in the original work, Tobirama Senju looked unhappy.
He remembered something.
When he had just returned to Hokage and left the village, he was assassinated by Cloud ninja, who also had the blood of Storm Release.
At that time, he said that he would settle the score with Kumogakure!
"What's going on? You've turned against me before I even told you why I'm here?" I kept shouting in my heart, and Darui's body trembled.
"Your name is Darui, right?" Tobirama Senju turned his head slightly and said in a cold tone.
"Yes." The little chicken nodded like a chicken pecking rice. Darui was full of doubts. He didn't remember that he had offended Hokage?
"Go back and tell Ai that if he commits suicide obediently and sends Two-Tails and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki to Konoha, I can forget about Hidden Cloud!"
"What?!"
