Of course, Mito Uzumaki's pointing out of Hashirama Senju's existence is also to show that Konoha Ninja Village has a final bottom line.

If Bai Yu were to actually attack Konoha Ninja Village, Hashirama Senju would definitely not stand idly by.

" Bai Yu, I want to know, why did you say that Tobirama would die?"

Mito Uzumaki spoke again.

Konoha Ninja Village has indeed emerged from the devastation of the Sengoku period and is now in dire need of rebuilding.

However, Hashirama Senju's retirement and the outbreak of the First Shinobi World War clearly made matters worse for Konoha Ninja Village.

If something really happens to Tobirama Senju at this critical juncture...

This would likely be a fatal blow to Konoha Ninja Village.

"Don't you believe me?" Bai Yu said with a smile.

"Within the Kumogakure, the Second Raikage does advocate surrender, but don't forget, the Land of Lightning is a country that reveres war, and there are still many pro-war factions within it. To keep the Konoha Ninja Village and the Kumogakure fighting, they will absolutely stop at nothing to prevent it."

"Otherwise, the people of Kumogakure wouldn't have made their move at this critical juncture."

" Mito Uzumaki, I believe you're a smart person!"

Those present were stunned, feeling as if they had no way to refute it.

Mito Uzumaki, standing to the side, had a series of changing expressions, and many thoughts clearly flashed through her mind.

Finally, he spoke with a grim expression.

"You mean, Kinkaku and Ginkaku will make a move during the negotiations?"

"If it were them, I'd be somewhat inclined to believe it."

"However, I'd like to know why you're telling me this, and what exactly you're trying to do."

Looking at this unknown being who suddenly appeared two years ago and easily killed Madara Uchiha.

Compared to those outside who are misled, Mito Uzumaki certainly knows more.

After this incident, Konoha Ninja Village secretly dispersed all members of the Anbu to search for any clues related to Bai Yu.

Unfortunately, as time went by, Bai Yu's existence vanished like a stone sinking into the sea, leaving no trace whatsoever.

If it weren't for an unexpected event today, Mito Uzumaki would have witnessed it firsthand.

She probably absolutely doesn't believe that someone like Bai Yu exists in this world.

"Don't worry, what I'm about to do will only benefit your Konoha Ninja Village."

Bai Yu took a sip of his drink and said with a faint smile.

"You can go and attend the peace talks in Kumogakure. My targets are Kinkaku and Ginkaku. If they make a move during the talks, I can help take care of them."

"However, the condition is that you don't reveal any of my identity."

This time, the task given by the system was significantly longer than the previous two.

Its last appearance already had a significant impact on the world.

This has caused a shift in the trajectory of the world's development.

If this situation continues to evolve, Bai Yu worries that the time required to enter this world for the next mission will become increasingly longer.

For Sea King's world, this would likely be a net loss.

At the same time, what if the world deviates too much from the development trajectory that Bai Yu knows?

Bai Yu will likely lose his ability to predict the future.

"Are you really sure that Kinkaku and Ginkaku will make a move?" Mito Uzumaki's expression shifted slightly as she gritted her teeth and asked.

"What if they have no ulterior motives, and you suddenly attack and kill them? To our Konoha Ninja Village, this would be seen as a betrayal, and the First Shinobi World War, which we had finally managed to suppress, might reignite."

"If that's really the case, then Konoha Ninja Village cannot agree to this deal."

"Otherwise, how will our Konoha Ninja Village maintain its standing in the Shinobi World?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others remained silent.

In their ideology, an individual's life is clearly incomparable to that of a ninja village.

If Bai Yu truly intended to plunge Konoha Ninja Village into injustice, they would absolutely choose the latter.

"Don't worry, I'll give you time to consider it. Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Bai Yu replied casually, then reached out and patted the Nine-Tails's head, startling the Nine-Tails had been snoring soundly, into a sudden awakening.

" Little Nine, wake up! I know your size will change. Shrink Little Ichi, like a kitten."

"Also, leave Chakra in her body to keep her alive. I know you can easily do that."

Nine-Tails was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Bai Yu to give such an order.

As Tailed Beast, they are all aggregates of Chakra, so changing their form is naturally easy for them.

However, apart from ancient times, they have never changed their physical form.

But it has always presented itself to the public with this enormous size.

Bai Yu's sudden decision to put it into mini mode was clearly beyond its expectations.

However, Bai Yu lightly patted the Zanpakuto at his waist.

The Nine-Tails' stiffened back instantly went limp.

Thinking back to that knife wound, those small arms and legs couldn't have withstood it.

Completely ignoring the bewildered gazes from all around, the Nine-Tails' body shrank rapidly like a deflated balloon.

It eventually transformed into a small cat with nine tails and orange-red fur.

She rolled over and landed on Bai Yu's shoulder, yawning.

Looking at the unusually docile Nine-Tails, Mito Uzumaki revealed a bitter smile.

Recalling the extremely dangerous battle just now to suppress and seal the Nine-Tails, even countless Anbu Ninja were killed or injured.

She used every means at her disposal to barely seal the Nine-Tails into her body.

They never imagined that Bai Yu's single sentence would be worth a whole battle for them.

It's like comparing people is just asking for trouble, comparing goods is enough to make you want to throw them away.

However, at this point, Mito Uzumaki secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She was seriously injured in the battle to seal the Nine-Tails.

Later, Toroi forcibly used a secret technique to pull the Nine-Tails out of her body.

This undoubtedly made things even worse for her.

If the Nine-Tails were to return to her body and wreak havoc, Mito Uzumaki would need to expend considerable effort to suppress it.

Once that time comes, it will probably be even more unbearable.

Bai Yu left the Nine-Tails outside, but left some of its Chakra inside her body.

This undoubtedly provides her with ample time to heal her injuries using her own Sage Body.

" Bai Yu, thank you very much." Mito Uzumaki exhaled a deep breath.

"It's getting late, and we've passed our meeting time."

"I think Konoha Ninja Village will also take action. Given Tobirama's personality, he'll probably personally lead a team to provide support."

"If you don't mind, let's talk as we walk."

Bai Yu had no objection to the suggestion, took a sip of his drink, and nodded in agreement.

The most important thing to do now is to get Konoha Ninja Village and Kumogakure to hold talks as soon as possible.

Only in this way can Bai Yu complete the dungeon's mission and leave this awful place.

Otherwise, if we stay in this world for too long, the Five Elders and Imu might take advantage of the situation.

This would likely be a losing proposition.
