The will of fire can't save the Ninja world

Chapter 132 You guys are playing with fire

"What's the matter, Minato?"

Seeing that Minato looked different, Kushina asked.

Minato turned her head to look at the street next door, and shook her head slightly: "No, I seem to have heard Kakashi's voice just now."

But thinking about the crazy look of that voice, I probably heard it wrong.

He jumped onto the house, sure enough, he didn't see Kakashi.

So he looked around Konoha with emotion.

He has been away from Konoha for a whole year.

Since becoming Jinchuriki, Jiraiya-sensei returned to Konoha ahead of schedule, and he also signed a contract with Myogi-san.

Because Kushina was favored, he signed a contract with Mount Miaomu together.

Both of them needed to better grasp the power of the tailed beast, so they devoted themselves to practicing in Mount Miaomu.

The unexpected cooperation of the tailed beasts made their practice more effective with less effort.

Minato is constantly improving his fighting style while practicing the Tailed Beast Mode.

What made them decide to come back to take a look first was the last time Teacher Zilai also went to Miaomu Mountain to visit them, he was out of his mind.

"Minato, do you feel anything strange?"

Kushina looked suspiciously at the street and the people coming and going.

Inexplicably, the atmosphere was very depressing.

It was completely different from Konoha in her impression of peacetime.

Is there a war again?

"Ah, I feel it."

Minato frowned slightly when she heard the occasional gossip.

He fumbled in his pocket, took out the money and went to the vegetable market below.

Not long after, his face became serious.

Jiu Xinnai was even more surprised for a long time after listening to the speeches of the aunts and uncles.

This dignified atmosphere thought it was some kind of war, but in the end, it was only because of the failure of Senior White Fang's mission?
But as a ninja, who doesn't have a few failed missions?

"Senior White Fang's mission failed, and the consequences are particularly serious?"

Kushina looked at Minato, puzzled.

Those few people said that Senior Bai Fang secretly communicated with the power of the Land of Rain, and it looked like something was going on.

But after thinking about it, she couldn't find a reason why Senior White Fang would do this.

Minato glanced at several directions one after another, shaking his head: "The focus is not on the task."

He keenly noticed that something was wrong with the ninja hidden nearby.

In the past, they were members of Anbu, but now their breath is wrong.

Moreover, the focus of these strange ninjas is not on them.

That is, they themselves are responsible for what tasks on the street.

Minato thought of this journey, and the villagers who are still talking about it now——

Even if ordinary people are interested in a topic, most people still do their own thing after discussing it, and then either forget it or bring it up slowly.

But from returning to Konoha to the present, the topic of Bai Fang's mission failure has continued one after another, as if there are people talking about it in the street every moment, and even new guesses come out from time to time.

Minato originally thought that those strange ninjas were responsible for monitoring the villagers, collecting information, or suppressing the dissemination of information.

But now it seems that they have done nothing.

Even Minato wondered if they were spreading it on purpose.

If so, who are they, and how do they run so unscrupulously in the village that they are left unattended?

"Let's go to Hatake's house."

With a bad premonition in Minato's heart, he brought Kushina to the gate of Hatake's house.

As a result, the door was called for a long time, and the door was only half opened.

Seeing them, Kakashi was slightly disappointed, and closed the door without saying a word.

The two outside the door were silent.

Minato felt more and more that something was wrong, and looked in the direction of the Hokage Building: "What are they trying to do?"

There is no cover-up for persecuting the Hatake family in this way.

Would it be satisfactory to force Senior Bai Fang to rebel against the village and give up his ninja career?
If Senior Bai Fang sinks like this, or defectes, what about Yu Ye?

Minato suppressed the irritability in his heart, and said to Kushina: "I'll go to Hokage Building to see, Kushina, go to Uchiha to see how Yuya reacts."

Such dirty methods cannot continue.

Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

Maybe that's what the top brass wanted, but Watergate couldn't accept it.

Knowing that the matter was urgent, the two set off separately.

Minato didn't hide his identity, and rushed directly from the roof to the Hokage Building.

After reporting his identity, he went inside. Before reaching the office on the top floor, he saw Mr. Jiraiya walking out of the office on the second floor with a gloomy face, followed by two Anbu members.

Jiraiya was also a little surprised when he saw Minato, scratched his face, with a sleepy and decadent look: "Yo Minato, why are you back?"

When Minato saw the teacher, he felt a little more at ease. He was eager to ask, but he looked at the Anbe members behind Jiraiya and felt embarrassed.

Ji Lai also turned around, "I'll have a chat with the students, it's not going to happen, right?"

After speaking, he turned around, opened the office door just now, and waved to the water door: "Talk inside."

Minato entered the door with Anbu's vigilant eyes, and after the door closed, he couldn't wait to ask: "Teacher, what is this?"

He finished speaking before he noticed that the office had been temporarily transformed into a bedroom.

Dirty quilts and snack bags were scattered on the floor, only the small table next to the novel manuscript was clean.

Is this under house arrest in the Hokage Building?
Minato was startled, the situation seemed more complicated than he thought.

Ji Lai also turned on the kettle and poured a glass of water for the water gate: "It seems that the old man and the others have gone too far."

Minato was not in the mood to drink water, so he pinched his glass and asked, "What happened in the village during this time? And teacher."

Ji Lai also scratched his head, looking indifferent: "I don't have anything to do here."

Ji Lai was also placed under house arrest here, which actually has something to do with Bai Fang's mission.

The reason is the mysterious rise of the Kingdom of Rain, the rapidly expanding organization that wins over the hearts of the bottom.

It's just that the village and the fire country daimyo don't know who is secretly operating.

But Zilai also knows something.

As the mentor of Konan, Yahiko, and Nagato, Jilai also noticed the small organization they formed early on.

At first, he thought it was just a small fight, but he didn't expect to change his strategy suddenly last year, and the country of rain was quickly ignited like a prairie fire.

Konoha followed the opinion of the country of fire and felt that he wanted to stop it.

So I quickly found Zilaiye.

But Ji Laiya, who is obviously the intelligence leader, doesn't know anything about this kind of thing that happened under his nose?

This certainly cannot be fooled, but considering his identity, he is temporarily under house arrest in the Hokage Building and enjoys 24-hour surveillance by Anbu.

Zilai also naturally knows something.

The reason why he didn't say it was simple——

Because he thought it was the work of Nagato, the son of prophecy.

Because the people of the Country of Rain did regain their vitality when he left.

The Son of Prophecy that the Toad Immortal said would save the world, probably this is the beginning of the attempt to save the world.

How could Zilai also interrupt just like that?

Especially when the situation itself is developing for the better.

Jilai also talked briefly about his own problems, and didn't want to involve Minato.

Regarding the question of Minato, he continued, "You're talking about White Fang."

He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I didn't expect the teacher to let Danzo down like this."

Minato asked curiously, "Those spreading rumors are from Danzo?"

Jiraiya nodded, and pointed outside the door: "The people in Anbu are all busy nearby. I count them here every day. They don't do things. The ones outside should be the root organization of Danzo. That guy is best at doing things. This kind of thing."

Minato pondered and outlined the general context of the matter.

——Danzo is afraid of Bai Fang's reputation, and looks for opportunities to suppress Bai Fang, while the third Hokage sits idly by.

He couldn't help asking: "Where is Yu Ye? How does he react?"

Ji Lai also touched his chin: "No response."

Seeing that the teacher was not alert, Minato smiled wryly.

No response is the biggest problem.

Yu Ye's feelings for Konoha were very weak.
Minato stood up and said apologetically, "I'll go up there first."

Ji Lai also waved his hand, indicating that there is nothing wrong with him here, but after thinking about it, he suggested: "There is almost no chance of turning things around, you... take it easy."

Minato nodded, but didn't take it seriously.

The teacher was worried that he would put his own future into it, but Minato never cared about his future.

Because this kind of future is not what he wants.

Minato went upstairs with a heavy heart.

In the Hokage office, Sandai and Danzo are both there.

The two seemed to be talking about something just now, sitting very close.

Seeing Minato coming in, Danzo glanced at him, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

To say that what he dislikes the most now, besides Bai Fang, is Minakame Minato in front of him.

Young, but very strong momentum.

Sarutobi Hizumi knocked on the ashtray: "Minato is back, how is your cultivation going?"

After Minato dealt with it absent-mindedly for a few words, he pretended to be curious and said, "When I just came back, something big happened in the village? I see everyone is talking about it."

Danzo suddenly opened his eyes, and said coldly: "Oh? I don't know what happened? Then what did you inquire about before? Changes in prices in the vegetable market?"

Minato was taken aback, he didn't expect that what he had just inquired about with Kushina had already reached Danzo's ears.

He said calmly: "The national affairs discussed in the vegetable market always feel unreliable. Senior Bai Fang will have something to do with the country of rain. This should be a folk joke, right?"

Danzo smiled coldly when he heard the words, but from the corner of his eye, he glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The constant hype about White Fang's mission failure and the anger of the Nation of Fire was indeed his work.

But Bai Fang had an affair with the Land of Rain, and only he knew about his heart-wrenching words.

Danzang didn't understand until now, whether his old partner really felt it or maliciously speculated.

Sarutobi Hiruzachi pondered, looked into Minato's eyes, and slowly said: "Although that organization started this year, its prototype started two or three years ago. It is called a small organization around the Snake Canyon and Dongbo Town. "

Minato silently sketched the map in his mind, and was suddenly taken aback, belatedly realizing that Hokage's eyes were extremely piercing.

At that time and place, if you insist on getting involved with Konoha—Uchiha Yuya met the conditions back then.

Yuye became famous in the Snake Canyon, circulating in those small towns
If the object of suspicion is someone else, maybe the people present will ask one more question: What is the motive?
But Minato opened his mouth and wanted to say these three words, but he couldn't utter them under the gaze of Sandai.

In the end, Minato could only murmur: "Senior Bai Fang won't do it."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled, and seemed to be calm again: "Yeah, so this argument is also nonsense, and the people speculate randomly."

How is it possible for Minato Xindao? No one will believe behind this scale.

His eyes slowly turned to Danzo.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also glanced at Danzo vaguely.

Danzo looked at Hiruzaru Sarutobi in astonishment, with a dirty word in his heart, he didn't know whether to say it or not.

There was a brief silence in the office.

But Minato came here to solve the problem, so he said: "Since it is nonsense, as long as the investigation is clear, everything will be clear. I apply to continue to complete the task!"

For tasks that have not been completed, as long as the target of the task does not disappear, continue to complete the task.

This is the normal situation, not an opportunity to eradicate dissidents.

Since Senior White Fang stumbled here, the water gate will continue from where he stumbled.

But his proposal was rejected.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said: "Minato, you have to get used to your current identity. I believe I don't need to go into details about the current situation of Injuriki. The mission will definitely continue, and I have already started to arrange personnel to investigate. "

When Minato heard this, his heart sank.

This is to make the matter of Senior White Fang into an iron case.

He couldn't go, and Yu Ye, who was suspected by Hokage, couldn't go either.

How the people who go there investigate and what results they get are completely under the control of the higher-ups.

Minato lowered his head slightly, looked at the chair under Hiruzaru Sarutobi, and sighed helplessly.

He briefly and quickly reported the progress of Mt. Miaomu's practice, and left the Hokage Building.

When he got outside, he found a chance to transform, turned around and left.

Outside, everyone knew that Senior Bai Fang gave up the mission in order to save his companion, but no one cared about who that companion was and what kind of injuries he suffered.

Judging from the current situation, Senior Bai Fang's matter was definitely not a temporary idea of ​​the high-level.

Since it was arranged in advance, the people who accompanied Senior Bai Fang probably had problems!

It is not difficult to know who is traveling with you.

Since the higher-ups wanted to do this, in order to ensure the success rate of the mission, they would definitely give priority to finding ninjas that White Fang knew.

Minato found Senior Bai Ya's former comrades-in-arms, and confirmed the target without too much effort—even without deliberately investigating, Bai Fang's former comrades-in-arms were also dissatisfied with the village's actions, they investigated clearly early on, and knew who "betrayed" White Fang.

"New assistant, Chunin, his wife Tomoko Maemura is seriously ill."

Minato recalled the files, biting her lip, her eyes sullen.

This is the Achilles heel of picking on Senior Bai Fang!
The impoverished couple lived in a relatively remote location, and it was almost evening when the water gate was found.

However, as soon as he found the remote street, he saw thick black smoke rising into the sky.

Minato was stunned and hurried over.

I saw a dilapidated house that was almost out of shape.

There are firefighting ninjas around, trying to save.

But it's too late.

Only two charred bodies were lifted out of the ruins.

The neighbors next to me talked a lot, and many people sighed:

"Hey, it's not easy to be a new assistant. I heard that he was quite talented before, and he might even become a jonin."

"Isn't it? Who would have thought that Tomoko would be so ill, and all the new funding and energy were spent on her, and the result was still..."

"Xinsuke is too extreme, sophon is fine, he is fine, why did he die for love?"

"Hey, I heard people say that the new assistant has something to do with that White Fang. Do you think so?"

Minato stared blankly at the two twisted corpses, his mind went blank.

For a long time, he followed the black smoke and looked at the black and red sky, sighing sadly.

"You guys are really playing with fire."
