Soon, while Jiraiya was thinking, Naruto had already arrived with Minato, who was having friendly exchanges with forces from other countries in the village.
"Minato, Naruto just told me..."
"Naruto already told me about Fake Daimyo on the way, teacher Jiraiya."
Minato's dress at this time is no longer the same as Ninja's before. He changed into a robe that looked more elegant and temperamental.
Since Minato and their current state are not real bodies, their costumes are more of Chakra's transformed form, so they can change freely.
"That's good, I didn't bother you, right?"
"I was just talking about tourism business with the Daimyo representative of Land of Hot Water and learned from them their advanced experience. But compared to this matter, the matter Naruto is feedbacking now is more important."
"Yes, now Naruto you can say it."
Jiraiya nodded. At this time, Diplomacy's affairs in the village were being handled by Minato.
Although First Hokage is famous and many people who come to participate in Shinobi World Conference want to visit him, he is still very self-aware of himself.
Although when he was alive, he could speak uprightly to Second Hokage, his younger brother, and say that he believed that people could understand each other, and that future generations could move towards Taiping.
But after being resurrected after being dead for many years, and having a little understanding of his post-death history, Hashirama became depressed.
For this reason, when Tobirama occasionally takes time off, he often forgets his own Older Brother.
After all, there was no way to refute it when he was alive, and now the evidence from Tobirama is too conclusive.
As long as the situation and encounter of Konoha after Hashirama's death are shown, Hashirama will be completely misfired.
The main reason for Tobirama was that he was too busy, and when Minato went to talk to him, Tobirama unexpectedly said: Although he basically established relationships with major forces during his lifetime, it was to maintain his Older Brother dream. In fact, he himself did not like to deal with these forces.
Compared with Diplomacy or others, he wants to concentrate on studying how to break the so-called Divine Art.
After all, until now, the influence of Divine Art in Tailed Beast's mind has not been corrected.
"Okay, let me first paraphrase teacher Asuma's original words. Fake Daimyo's identity is the former Twelve Guardian Ninja. Radicals represents Kazuma..."
Then Naruto explained everything he encountered after going to the Daimyo Mansion.
"There is also a creature like Zero-Tails?" After hearing this, Jiraiya was stunned, "Is this also Tailed Beast?"
"No."
Unexpectedly, Minato retorted directly.
"Dad, do you know?"
"When I was in your body, I had a little chat with Lord Kurama, and it once mentioned this Zero-Tails. Although it was only a few words."
Minato briefly introduced Zero-Tails.
"Dark Chakra Aggregate? Shinobi World, which is caused by the negativity of the human heart, actually has such a magical existence?"
When they learned the origin of Zero-Tails, Jiraiya and Naruto were also a little surprised.
Minato looked at Naruto's expression, as if he thought of something, "Did Lord Kurama wake up after that?"
"Yes, Original Body keeps saying that Kurama is still sleeping, which is a bit strange. Kurama has always been able to wake up when he fell asleep before. I don't know why this time..."
Nine-Tails's status is getting worse and worse.
Minato and Jiraiya looked at each other.
"Things sound a bit complicated. Let's do this. I'll send Shadow Clone to go back with you and take a look."
Minato said.
"Then I will ask Interrogation Department to step up the interrogation of those Twelve Guardian Ninja you brought back from the dead."
Jiraiya also stood up, shook his cloak, and walked out.
"Teacher Jiraiya, remember to notify Second. He may be able to provide some different perspectives on the situation of the deceased resurrecting."
"Okay, I understand."
Although it is an incident involving Daimyo.
But it is obvious that neither Naruto, Minato, nor Jiraiya takes this matter as a big deal.
The meeting was not long, and everyone knew that Konoha would be very busy next, so their respective responsibilities were quickly determined during this small gathering, and everyone disappeared from Office.
At this time, inside the Daimyo Mansion.
"Ah? Zero-Tails?"
Nine-Tails, who was finally woken up by Naruto, rubbed his still sleepy eyes and got out of his body.
"I am Zero-Tails." Zero-Tails looked at Nine-Tails with his Mask face, and his voice became ethereal, "I see, you are Nine-Tails. You are lucky to have a pure-hearted master like Naruto Uzumaki."
"... It was defeated by you?"
Nine-Tails turned his head and looked at Naruto, who nodded.
"What a loss." The little fox looked at the Black Snake hanging next to Naruto, looking at the other party's fawning appearance, and curled his lips. "I think about it, there is such a guy. He is bluffing under the banner of Tailed Beast, Naruto, let's destroy him."
"I was born from the darkness of the human heart. I cannot be destroyed. I live forever... ah, stop, stop, stop!"
Seeing Naruto's eyes lit up, he seemed to want to rub Truth-Seeking Orb out again, Zero-Tails quickly stopped his preparations to show off.
After all, I don't know what kind of weird black ball it is. The big hole that Zero-Tails just used to block Truth-Seeking Orb's body has not been repaired yet.
Even Zero-Tails can feel that Chakra, which makes up that part of the body, seems to never come back. Even if he was injured, this has never happened before.
So it is really afraid of Naruto's means.
"You'd better cooperate well and answer whatever we ask. Don't bring trouble to yourself."
Kakashi on the side smiled.
Initially, everyone was more or less wary when they saw Naruto catching such a thing. However, after confirming the other party's attitude towards Naruto, everyone had nothing to be afraid of.
And at this moment, Shadow Clone sent out by Naruto came back with Shadow Clone from Minato.
"Minato-sensei."
"Fourth Hokage-sama."
Kakashi and Shikamaru also greeted him.
Minato nodded in response, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the big guys present.
"This is Zero-Tails?"
The first time Minato saw this Mask Black Snake, he realized its identity, but he quickly looked at the little fox lying on Naruto's shoulder. "Lord Kurama, long time no see."
"Oh, Minato you are here."
Although Naruto was in Naruto's body, Naruto would go home to eat whenever he had time when he was out on missions, so the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time.
But after all, Minato now spends most of his time outside Naruto's body. Kurama's impression of Minato is more from when he was inside Naruto's body together.
Therefore, Nine-Tails rarely communicates with Minato when both parties are not in the same environment.
"Where is Fake Daimyo?"
"There."
Asuma pointed at the big man thrown in the corner of the room.
"Although the appearance and body shape have changed a lot, you can still recognize Kazuma in the former Twelve Guardian Ninja."
Asuma introduced Minato.
"Is it him?"
Minato quickly remembered this person's identity and respected Daimyo's supreme nature, so he was hostile to Konoha and Hokage's emperor Radicals.
Minato remembered that he had read the other party's information, "Shouldn't he have died in your hands Asuma? Didn't he escape?"
"Well. Naruto has just been checked. He is different from the previous Guardian Ninja. He is a real living person."
"Have you found the real His Highness Daimyo?"
Kakashi nodded, and then led Minato to the secret room they had searched before.
This secret room built in the Daimyo Mansion is set up on the second floor. It is not only a place where ambushes and Guard are ambushed, but it also holds many secrets.
For example, Kakashi accidentally discovered various rooms when he was fighting the opponent on the second floor.
There are many girls in ragged clothes in these rooms, there are senior executives who have been beaten to pieces, and there are even some Laboratory who look like they don't know what they are studying.
And when Minato walked to the last room and saw the real Daimyo who had been completely fooled by Genjutsu, he frowned.
"Kazuma had great respect for Daimyo back then, but his loyalty was not to Daimyo, but to his awe of the existence of 'Daimyo'. I had gotten to know this new Daimyo when he took office, and he was a person close to Konoha."
Asuma sighed.
Close to Konoha?
Minato glanced at Asuma and did not refute.
Land of Fire's senior management or Daimyo may have had people close to Konoha in the past, but there is absolutely no one now.
Konoha did not conduct a search for the disappearance of his predecessor Daimyo, and almost ignored the opinions of Land of Fire and convened Shinobi World Conference.
In addition to this incident, there were many Konoha's behaviors within half a year that exceeded Land of Fire's initial restrictions on Konoha.
Except for not directly exposing it and saying that it was a betrayal, in fact it had already escaped the control of Land of Fire.
However, in this case, the senior management of Land of Fire could realize that Konoha was not a force they could control at this time, and they could still rationally turn a blind eye and have their own correct judgment more or less.
But for Konoha, Land of Fire and now at least the senior officials related to Daimyo, it is impossible for anyone to get close to them.
Therefore, this Daimyo is most likely not 'close to Konoha', but 'afraid of Konoha'.
If this Kazuma is really what Asuma said before, he has an unknown fanaticism for Daimyo and is hostile to Konoha, and believes that the authority of Daimyo cannot be violated.
Then there is only one possibility. He is very disappointed with the new Daimyo, and most likely feels that such a person is not worthy of becoming Daimyo.
So he replaced it himself.
Minato's guess is not wrong, it is indeed true.
But this was also the news that came out after Konoha interrogated. Now Minato just briefly understood the situation at the scene, and he pulled Kakashi aside.
"Teacher, do you have any instructions?"
"The village temporarily asked me to organize you to form an investigation team. Mr. Fifth Hokage believes that there is something not simple behind this matter... Are the senior officials in the Daimyo Mansion still in control?"
Minato confirmed the on-site information, Kakashi nodded, and then showed a hint of casualness. "Are you going to get rid of them or impose something on them Genjutsu?"
Hearing this sentence, Minato looked at Kakashi in surprise. "Why do you have such an idea?"
"Their eyes are wrong, their fear of us is too strong." Kakashi explained, "Teacher, I have been performing some high-risk tasks over the years. For example, I have had a lot of contact with Kirigakure's senior executives. Previously, due to Akatsuki's control of Kirigakure, those former senior executives were bloodbathed."
"After that, I accompanied Ming... accompanied the current Mizukage. After returning to Kirigakure, she quickly took control of Kirigakure's voice and encountered almost no resistance."
"Now that these high-level officials are here, for Land of Fire, in order to avoid some subsequent processing, we can actually support a new Daimyo..."
Kakashi said something amazing.
Minato shook his head.
"Kakashi, I understand what you mean. In fact, although your idea is radical, it is indeed good if you consider it from the perspective of getting enough benefits for the village."
"But this is because your knowledge as Ninja exceeds your knowledge of authority. Of course we can use this group of people to control Land of Fire to produce new Daimyo, but that will have a bad impact on what we want to do."
"We will lose justice in the eyes of other powers."
"Justice? Does that matter?"
"Yes, I have talked with you before and believe that Shinobi World needs to be unified. But if this kind of unification is still based on conspiracy, it is destined to remain duckweed..."
Minato and Kakashi had an in-depth discussion and were very satisfied with Kakashi, Disciple and Minato.
Even Minato believes that if Kakashi acted as Hokage, he should be able to lead the village to a more glorious future.
It's just that now Minato, his perspective is no longer just on Konoha, but the entire Shinobi World.
With Minato's explanation, Kakashi felt relieved.
"I understand, teacher. Although those people are scared out of their wits now, in essence they are indeed the mainstay of Land of Fire. If this matter is not dealt with, the impact on them may be greater. If necessary, I imagine that the village will apply for a batch of Genjutsu Ninja to do medical care, which will at least alleviate their fear of this matter."
"That's okay. Land of Fire didn't come to participate in the previous notification of Shinobi World Conference, so it just so happens that this time is an opportunity. After all, we are from our own country, and making the relationship between Konoha and Land of Fire too ambiguous is not conducive to the progress of the work."
Kakashi and Minato are discussing, Asuma is investigating and asking these people for their confessions, and what exactly is going on with Kazuma.
And Naruto pulled Shikamaru to give him advice.
"Nine-Tails, um, Master Kurama, can it sense the whereabouts of a person in Fire Temple?"
Shikamaru was stunned.
"Yes, wasn't our mission to investigate the disappearance case from the very beginning? Fire Temple is still missing over there. Fake Daimyo has arrested one here, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with it."
"That's true, but even if it doesn't matter, you might know something. Wasn't the Samurai team that stopped us before sent by this Daimyo?"
Shikamaru pointed at Fake Daimyo who was still lying there.
"Maybe you know, but my attack was a bit heavy, and Tsunade's mother-in-law was strong enough to revive him in a short time."
Naruto pinched his chin, feeling a little troubled, "And the most important thing is that this guy is very powerful. If he wakes up without me, he will probably cause trouble to the village."
"Then again, why is he so powerful?"
Shikamaru probably knows what level of combat power the boss Naruto is. According to what Dad heard from many meetings, and what he knows -
The village unanimously believes that Naruto and Nine-Tails are most likely already No. 1 in Shinobi World, which is an unprecedented level.
