Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching.

Chapter 646: Meeting of the Four Ninja Villages
"He is at the gate of the village right now, and he said that Ohnoki wants to discuss something important with you."

"Tell him I'm in a meeting, and then take him into the village to find out what's going on."

Although the Third Mizukage was curious about what medicine was sold in Ōnoki's gourd, he was not prepared to communicate with the Iwagakure in person, even if he was not in a meeting.

It would be better if Ōnoki came in person.

The Kirigakure ANBU nodded and walked out of the meeting room.

When the door was closed again, the conference room fell into an eerie silence again.

The Yuan Master simply closed his eyes and rested, looking like an old man with a weak spirit.

He is already at this age, and he really doesn't want his reputation to be affected by such things.

The monitor of the Jonin squad pretended to be thinking, but his mouth was tightly shut, not daring to make a sound.

There are also gaps between the top leaders. As the captain of the jonin squad, he is nominally the leader of all the jonin in Kirigakure, but he is the last one on the list of top leaders.

In other words, he is the one most likely to be pushed out to sign the peace contract and take the blame.

The consultant had a serious and stern look on his face, seemingly unhappy with the current situation, but he did not say a word.

The Mizukage assistant held his head high and looked straight ahead, with no intention of disturbing the peace.

The Assistant Mizukage is also ranked lower in the list of senior officials, but this position is very special and has a binding relationship with the Mizukage. Generally, as long as the Mizukage has no ideas, the Assistant Mizukage will be fine.

"Mizu Yu, tell me what you think." Seeing that no one spoke, the Third Mizukage looked at the leader of the Kirigakure Jonin squad and said.

Shui Yu sighed in his heart. What is coming will come. It’s his fault that he is in the lowest position.

Shui Yu's mind was racing as he quickly thought of the most perfect answer.

Just talk about peace talks? Impossible, then he must be sent to sign the treaty.

It is not a good idea to refuse peace talks, as it is too easy to offend people.

Everyone knows that Yagura Karuta is the successor valued by the Third Mizukage. If they really refuse to negotiate and Yagura Karuta is killed by Konoha, then he, as the person who first proposed it, will definitely be hated by the Third Mizukage, and he will be in trouble.

"The military strength demonstrated by Konoha in this incident cannot be underestimated. We must investigate why Yagura was defeated so quickly and why most of the troops were captured." Shui Yu analyzed with a serious face.

Reject or agree? He chooses or!

The Third Mizukage showed a slightly dissatisfied look, but did not say much and looked at the Mizukage Assistant.

The Mizukage assistant felt a huge amount of pressure in an instant, but he had to speak.

After all, without the support of the Mizukage, his position would not be as powerful as Mizuhiro's position as the leader of the jonin squad.

"The peace talks are a big deal. There are many things that need to be taken into consideration, such as the opinions of the ninjas in the village, Konoha's goals, and the impact of the peace talks..."

The Mizukage Assistant said a lot, but he didn't say whether he supported the peace talks or was not optimistic about the peace talks.

There was no way. Now he was a little unsure of the Third Mizukage's thoughts.

After such a defeat, will the Third Mizukage still value Karatachi Yagura as much as before?
The Third Mizukage then looked at the advisor.

Since everyone else had said it, it was not easy for the consultant to get special treatment, so he just followed suit and said some half-truths.

After the advisor finished speaking, the Third Mizukage did not let the Master speak in turn, but instead narrowed his eyes and thought.

Thousands of prisoners is indeed not a small number.

You have to know that there are only a little over 7,000 ninjas in Kirigakure at the moment. If Konoha kills all the captives, one-seventh of their total ninja number will be lost at once, which would have a huge impact.

The key point is that this is not a death in battle, but an accident caused by the breakdown of negotiations, which will cause emotions for the families of the prisoners.

However, the Third Mizukage was a little reluctant to sign the peace treaty.

During his term, Kirigakure took the initiative to attack twice, but failed both times. How will future generations evaluate him?
Ambitions but lack of talent? High expectations but low skills?
"That's all for today's meeting." The Third Mizukage rubbed his brows and said.

He is now worried that something might go wrong if he does not negotiate, but he also does not want defeat to affect his reputation after his death.

Not long after the Third Mizukage returned to the Mizukage's office, the Anbu who was responsible for communicating with the Iwagakure came to the Mizukage's office.

"Sir Sandaime, this is a secret letter from Ōnoki to you. It has been checked and there is no problem." The Kirigakure Anbu handed a scroll to the Third Mizukage.

The Third Mizukage nodded and opened the scroll, while the Kirigakure Anbu tactfully retreated out of the office door.

At first, the Third Mizukage looked indifferent, but after watching for five minutes, his expression gradually became solemn.

"The Wood Release Ninja has reappeared, and Hanyu Muyue is expected to become the second Ninja God?"

After reading it, the Third Mizukage rolled up the scroll and fell into thought.

Do Kirigakure and Iwagakure have a grudge against each other? Of course they do, as the second generations of both sides perished on the battlefield.

But that is an old grudge. Looking at the entire ninja world, if you really count, the five major ninja villages all have old grudges against each other.

The Third Mizukage believed that the information Ōnoki gave him was most likely true, at least partially true.

Because ninjutsu is something that cannot be deceived, and Mu Yue cannot possibly stay away from taking action all the time, so whether he has Wood Release or not, and what his strength is, will be exposed sooner or later.

"Could it be that the capture of Yagura was the work of Hanyu Muyue?" A sudden idea flashed in the mind of the Third Mizukage.

If Hanyu Mugetsu really has powerful Wood Release as Oonoki said, and continues to grow, he may become the second Senju Hashirama.

Then the defeat of Karutagi Yagura is very reasonable.

The powerful Wood Release Ninja Hanyu Mugetsu led the ninja troops to attack, so it was normal for Karuta Yagura to be captured.

It’s not that the Kirigakure forces are weak, but that Konoha is too strong.

Then the Third Mizukage shook his head, saying that now was not the time to think about this.

"Should we accept Ōnoki's invitation?" The Third Mizukage began to weigh the pros and cons.

Ōnoki did not directly say that the alliance should work together to deal with Konoha's assassination of Mu Yue, but only invited Kirigakure to send representatives to the Land of Earth for a meeting.

The Third Mizukage thought that he could send a reliable jonin to test Ōnoki's thoughts.

Anyway, the peace talks will take more than a day or two. As long as Kirigakure doesn't make any big moves, Karajima Yagura should not be in danger.

……

The Country of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.

Ōnoki also sent ninjas to the Sand Village.

"Is this old man trying to trick me into falling into this trap?" After reading the scroll, Luo Sha subconsciously thought it was false information.

Hanyu Muyue is recognized by the ninja world as the strongest ninja of the younger generation in Konoha, but his position is not as exaggerated as the intelligence says.

And if Hanyu Muyue mastered such a powerful Wood Release, why didn’t he use it on the battlefield before?
Wood Release is very powerful. It is not only capable of both offense and defense, but can also suppress the Jinchūriki.

But Luo Sha thought again and felt that Ohnoki was not that stupid.

After all, Ohnoki didn't ask him to send troops to Konoha directly, he just invited him to attend the meeting. He shouldn't use such false information to deceive him.

Thinking about the recent strange situation in the ninja world, Rasa's expression became serious.

"Could it be that Yuzuru Muyue has been hiding and dormant before, and has recently made some progress in his Wood Release training, so he is showing his strength?"

After careful consideration, Luo Sha found that this information was not so false, but it was too beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Suddenly, a second Wood Release Ninja appeared, showing the potential to become the second Senju Hashirama.

If the Iwagakure who delivered the letter was not also well-known in the ninja world, Luo Sha would have suspected that someone was pretending to be Iwagakure to cause trouble.

"What's so special about this Wood Release? Is a ninja who possesses Wood Release destined to become as powerful as Hashirama Senju?" Rasa couldn't help but think.

Logically, this shouldn't be the case.

A ninja's strength is comprehensive. Generally speaking, it includes the level of ninja body illusion, chakra amount, and physical fitness.

One shouldn't become extremely powerful just by mastering some bloodline limit or secret technique.

But Hashirama Senju is strong, and the second Wood Release ninja Hanyu Mugetsu is also strong.

The first one can be said to be a coincidence, but what about the second one?

Luo Sha called his confidants to discuss the matter.

They felt that they could go, but whether or not to take action against Konoha would depend on the situation at that time.

After all, if Konoha really had a second ninja god, it would not have a particularly big impact on Sand Village.

Because the current Sand Village is relatively weak among the five major ninja villages, even if there is no Konoha blocking the way, there are still Iwagakure and Kumogakure in front of Sand Village.

"How is Ye Cang's investigation going?" Luo Sha asked, remembering something.

Luo Sha has never forgotten Ye Cang, the ninja who almost affected his position as Kazekage.

"There is no evidence that could lead to Ye Cang being imprisoned." The Sunagakure jonin shook his head.

"But I found that Ye Cang seems to be very interested in the Ninja Clan of the Rain Country, and he even took time to attend Sosuke's lectures twice."

"As a hero of Sunagakure, instead of doing his mission properly, he actually went to attend a lecture by the Rain Country Ninja Force. If the village had to choose the most studious ninja, I would definitely vote for Ye Cang."

Hearing his subordinates mocking Ye Cang for not doing his job, Luo Sha couldn't help but smile.

"Since she likes to deal with other forces, send her to the Hidden Rock Village." Luo Sha said after thinking for a while.

He found this to be a good opportunity to suppress Ye Cang. If Iwagakure's plan failed, it would mean that Ye Cang was not doing a good job.

If there is hope for the Iwagakure issue, then we can use other reasons to transfer Ye Cang away midway.

……

The Land of Rain, the Ninja Clan.

Huang Tu led a team of Iwagakure into Liudao City.

"It seems like there are more people and more ninjas."

After entering Liudao City, Huangtu discovered that Liudao City seemed to be more prosperous.

The flames of war in the ninja world did not affect the development of Six Paths Castle, but instead promoted its prosperity to a certain extent.

Huangtu didn't care about this. Even if Iwagakure valued the Ninja Sect, they valued Sosuke and his men, not the Six Paths Castle or those ordinary ninjas in the Ninja Sect.

Relying on the cooperative relationship, Huang Tu arrived at Sosuke's office smoothly.

"Sosuke, Iwagakure needs the help of the Ninja Clan." Huang Tu said straight to the point.

Mu Yue nodded and motioned Huang Tu to continue.

"We have a need to cooperate with Yunyin in the near future. I hope you can convey some of our wishes to Yunyin."

Since Iwagakure and Kumogakure have declared war on each other and have fought many battles since the war began, Ōnoki is worried that going directly to Kumogakure will have a counterproductive effect, so he wants the Ninja Clan to act as a middleman.

Although there is some cooperation between the Ninja Clan and the Iwagakure, overall, the Ninja Clan is considered a neutral force in the public's perception.

The first major reason was Sosuke's unlimited lectures.

Sosuke was so generous in imparting all kinds of advanced knowledge to ninjas from different ninja villages and forces that he naturally carried a neutral and friendly label.

Then there was the Youth Martial Arts Tournament that was held earlier.

There were many ninjas from various ninja villages participating in the Youth Martial Arts Tournament, but under the management of the Ninja Clan, no violence occurred and all participating ninjas were treated equally.

Sosuke is famous and powerful, and the Ninja Clan is also a well-known neutral force. He is the most suitable middleman in the current ninja world.

"I need to know some specific details before I can make a judgment." Mu Yue said after drinking a cup of tea.

It's impossible for him to help others without knowing anything, otherwise he would be sold out and have to count money for others.

"The main content is some information about Hanyu Muyue and Konoha's ambitions." Huang Tu explained.

Before Huangtu came, Ohnoki had already considered this and asked Huangtu to directly pass on the information.

First of all, when asking the Ninja Clan to do something, it is impossible to leave it to the other party without knowing the reason.

Secondly, Oonoki felt that Sosuke had no reason to refuse.

Since Sosuke killed Danzo Shimura, he naturally stood on the opposite side of Konoha. Of course he would take advantage of any opportunity to trample on Konoha.

This is not a deep cooperation. Iwagakure will not station ninja troops in the Rain Country, and it will not do any harm to the Ninja Clan.

On the contrary, if Konoha had a second Ninja God, would the Ninja Clan have a good life?

I'm afraid that the Ninja Clan will be dealt with as soon as the war is over.

"Sorry, I refuse." Mu Yue replied with a faint smile.

What a joke, asking his shadow clone to help others deal with the real body.

He had no intention of playing the undercover game.

"But looking at this information, the original body may have already dealt with Uchiha Madara, otherwise there wouldn't be such a big fuss." Mu Yueying's clone thought.

He was the shadow clone that Mu Yue created before he dealt with Uchiha Madara, so he had no memory of his original body during this period.

"This way, the Ninja Clan will have fewer concerns and can be more relaxed."

Huang Tu was stunned. This was different from what he had expected before coming here. Why would Sosuke refuse so straightforwardly?

"The Ninja Clan has no intention of participating in the game among the five major ninja villages, whether it is against Konoha or other major ninja villages." Mu Yue explained.

Mu Yue's words completely blocked the way, and Huang Tu and the think tank beside him were speechless.

"Sosuke is too naive." Huang Tu complained in his heart.

Although he is always said to be honest, he feels that Sosuke is more idealistic than him.

Can you just not participate if you don't want to? You are in the ninja world and you still want to avoid the influence of the five major ninja villages?
However, Sosuke's attitude was tough and Huang Tu and the others had no choice.

In the end, Iwagakure reluctantly sent an envoy to make a truce with Kumogakure, and also gave Kumogakure the information about Mu Yue.

Perhaps because Kumogakure and Konoha were getting along so well and didn't want to have conflicts with Iwagakure, things went surprisingly smoothly.

Finally, Kumogakure also agreed to attend the meeting held by Iwagakure in the Land of Earth.

On the agreed date, each ninja village sent ninjas to the Land of Earth as promised.
