"Welcome Mizukage-dono to the Land of Fire as a guest."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the Fourth Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura with a smile.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi came to meet the Fourth Mizukage Goju Yagura, the defense standards were not low. A group of Anbu spread out to be wary of the enemy, and even the root ninjas were prohibited from approaching.
In the history of the ninja world, there are many examples of leaders of two villages meeting but being wiped out in one fell swoop. Hiruzen Sarutobi experienced this personally.
During the First Ninja War, the second-generation Hokage Senju Tobirama met with the second-generation Raikage. As a result, the two Kages were killed by the rebel Golden Horn and Silver Horn troops in Kumogakure Village.
"Hokage-dono, you are too kind."
The Fourth Mizukage, Goju Yagura, looked a little depressed, shook his head and sighed: "I came here as a prisoner of Konoha, and I am not qualified to make any more demands. I just hope that there will be no more conflicts between our two villages." There is a war.”
"Please relax, Konoha does not dare to neglect guests."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and his expression became serious: "Peace between Konoha and Kirigakure Village is our common wish."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flashed and he continued: "If Mizukage-dono doesn't believe in Konoha's sincerity, you can stay in Konoha for a period of time to supervise. We can establish a communication channel with Kirigakure Village to let Mizukage The country and the country of fire can exchange their needs, and they can even announce to other countries in the ninja world to conclude an alliance treaty between the two ninja villages..."
"That would be perfect."
The fourth Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura's face looked a little better.
The old man, the Third Hokage, has a very gentle attitude. He is always thinking about the peace of Kirigakure Village and Konoha, and is also concerned about the face of the Fourth Mizukage. This will inevitably make the Fourth Mizukage, who thinks he is a prisoner, feel bad. It's gotten a little better.
If the conflict between Kirigakure and Konoha can be avoided, the best way is of course to become an alliance, which is also quite beneficial to Kirigakure.
Kirigakure Village has implemented a blockade policy in the Kingdom of Water for many years, prohibiting any communication with the ninja continent. This has also led to a lack of resources in the Country of Water and Kirigakure Village, and there are many conflicts between civilians and nobles, ordinary ninjas and blood successor ninjas. .
The Kingdom of Water can re-establish communication channels with the Kingdom of Fire, the most prosperous country in the ninja world. It can make civilians and ordinary ninjas live better by increasing trade and commercial escort missions. It can also alleviate internal conflicts and open up Kirigakure Village. Slowly catching up with the footsteps of other great ninja villages.
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's smile grew stronger and stronger.
The Hokage probably never thought that the Fourth Mizukage, who had been cut off from communication, would allow him to achieve his goal so easily.
It seems that the situation in Kirigakure Village is worse than he imagined. This does not hinder Sarutobi Hiruzen's desire to continue to form an alliance with Kirigakure Village.
Who would like an ally that is too powerful and has the capital to turn against it at any time?
A weak village like Kirigakure is just right for Konoha. They need to cling to Konoha and allow Konoha to slowly gain the benefits of the Kingdom of Water. Just by reopening a business escort mission that can go to other big countries. You can make a lot of money.
The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, smiled like a kindly old man next door: "Let's set the tone of peace first. In the future, whether it is establishing a joint chuunin promotion mechanism between the two villages or cooperating on ninja hiring tasks, we can slowly discuss."
"good."
The depressed mood of the fourth Mizukage Goju Yagura improved a lot.
However…
The two talked about happy things.
Naturally, we have to talk about some unhappy things.
"I heard…"
Sarutobi Hiruzen still had to bring up a question that gave him a little headache. As he spoke, he picked up his old pipe: "Is Mizukage-dono a Jinchuuriki?"
"good."
The Fourth Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura nodded slowly, without refuting the question, and even took the initiative to say: "I am the Three-Tails Jinchuuriki, but I can control the Three-Tails in my body so that it will not go crazy. Konoha does not have to worry about this problem. "
"hehe…"
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and nodded slowly.
Although Kotachi Yagura claims to be able to control the Three-Tails, who knows whether this Mizukage will suddenly let the Three-Tails go berserk in his body. There has been a Nine-Tails Rebellion in Konoha Village, and it must not bear the second tailed beast going berserk. Strike!
But…
How should I mention this?
Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking slowly in his mind, thinking about how to make the Fourth Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura understand what he meant. He couldn't just say that I don't believe you. I just want to seal the tailed beast in your body and I will never allow you. Use your own tailed beast chakra, right?
It would be great if Danzo Shimura was here, he would definitely point out that Konoha does not believe you, forcing the Fourth Mizukage to seal all the chakra in your body to avoid any risk of tailed beasts going rampage in Konoha. …
At that time, I symbolically reprimanded Danzo, first giving the Fourth Mizukage some face, and then half-assed the Mizukage to accept the matter of having his chakra sealed...
Now…
Sarutobi Hiruzen himself really couldn't forcefully turn against the Fourth Mizukage Goju Yagura, otherwise the harmony and friendship they had just communicated with would be in vain.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had to lament that sometimes Shimura Danzo's black face was really useful. Sometimes that guy would do bad things, but more often he could accomplish some unspeakable things through Shimura Danzo's darkness.
"Kagura."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Akihara Kagura, hoping that this child with a very extreme personality would induce this child to say some unpleasant words: "I heard that when you met Mr. Mizukage, you had a close relationship with Mizukage. There was a little conflict with Mr. Ying..."
"..."
Akihara Kagura stood next to Sarutobi Hiruzen and saw his boss's frown. Based on the situation in Konoha, he roughly knew what the Hokage was thinking.
"yes."
"The Mizukage is very strong."
"The three tails in Mizukage's body are also very strong."
Akihara Kagura immediately followed his boss's wishes and replied in a casual manner: "So when I came back, I found that I knew too few ninjutsu. I was wondering if I would have the opportunity to learn more ninjutsu, so that I could meet him again in the future. Enemies like Mizukage are difficult to deal with..."
"..."
Goju Yagura glanced at Akihara Kagura inexplicably.
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was a bit strange.
Don't let this kid think about the problem of encountering enemies in the future! Can't this brat think about it from Konoha's perspective?
Akihara Kagura was unheard by Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze, and continued slowly: "In addition to learning new techniques, I also need to find time to practice properly. I am not even qualified in basic swordsmanship, and shuriken. I’m not very good at throwing either…”
When Akihara Kagura said this, she suddenly mentioned Shimura Danzo: "I hope the Sandaime Hokage will allow me to return to Danzo-sama to study for a while..."
"How does Danzo know the technique of wood escape..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, with a smile still on his face: "During this period, I will give you a vacation, and you can study hard with your squad leader..."
"That guy is worse than me!"
Akihara Kagura is quite disrespectful to Tenzo, the squad leader who is directly under his supervision.
"Don't be too ambitious..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to take the opportunity to teach, but he remembered the character of this brat and was impatient to listen to this kind of education. He changed his words: "I can also teach you some wood escape techniques and try to arrange a jounin for you. Teacher, I can help this little guy like you learn more knowledge..."
"There is a reason why I have to return to Danzo-sama..."
Akihara Kagura slowly lowered his head, and suddenly looked at the fourth Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura, who had been motionless: "The three tails in Mizukage's body are very dangerous and must be sealed. Danzo-sama is good at spell seals and other techniques. Shiki, you can hand Mizukage over to Danzo-sama!"
