Chapter 326 Konoha is too strong
Chapter 326 Konoha is too strong
"No seat~"
Hiruko answered Kakashi in a strange tone, and Kakashi raised his eyebrows without asking any more questions.
As the captain of the Anbu, Kakashi would not appear in such a large meeting.
But with so many high-ranking Konoha figures gathered together, security work must be the top priority of the Anbu.
Therefore, the four Anbu teams led by Kakashi were always on standby around the Hokage Building, while the other Anbu teams were on guard around the perimeter.
Seeing that Hiruko came out leisurely only ten minutes after the meeting started, Kakashi naturally went up to him and questioned him.
Beiliuhu's answer was pure nonsense. After all, every seat in the conference room had an ID card and everything was planned. It was impossible for there to be no seats.
But if it was Beiliuhu, and Beiliuhu answered with strange words, then it would not be strange.
This guy's behavior cannot be understood according to common sense. If something is wrong, it is normal.
"Mr. Hiruko, if you leave first, please remember to keep the contents of the meeting confidential. This is a request made by the Fourth Hokage."
But Kakashi still gave Hiruko a slight reminder.
Beiliuhu nodded nonchalantly and then walked towards his home.
He didn't even take note of what the meeting was about or what Troy said. He just waited for him to finish speaking so that he could scold him and call it a day.
But Hiruko knew that although the Kumogakure came to Konoha with the idea of forming an alliance, they had no good intentions. They had to be allies, and they had to reap the benefits.
It turned out that Konoha's strength declined greatly after the Three Wars. The Three Ninjas ran away or hid, the Fourth Hokage died, and a large number of core ninjas died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Because of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Uchiha clan became restless, and the gap between them and Konoha became wider and wider.
The entire Konoha was in a state of disrepair, with internal and external troubles squeezing together. The internal voices were not harmonious, let alone the external ones.
During this period, Hiruzen once again took the position of Hokage. The old ninja was no longer a hero, but a bear. He was weak and could be bullied. He also allowed Danzo to do whatever he wanted, making Konoha a mess.
In this state, Konoha can be said to be bitten by the Cloud Ninja however they want.
Under the pretext of kidnapping Hinata Hyuga, not only did they force the second head of the Hyuga clan to death, but they also signed an unequal agreement with Konoha. This alliance agreement is no different from unilateral exploitation.
Among them, the Land of Iron completely turned to the Cloud Village, the Land of Hot Springs almost broke away from Konoha's control, and the Land of Rice even cut off contact with Konoha, and didn't even know that the Sound Village was founded by Orochimaru.
Konoha, which seemed to be at the center of the ninja world, was isolated from the development of the ninja world after the attack by the Cloud Ninja. It was silent for a full ten years until the rise of the new generation, and it slowly recovered.
The Cloud Shinobi Village has already developed a star-destroying cannon, while Konoha is still fiddling with telescopes and crystal balls to spy. The gap between them is quite large.
"Oh, right."
As Hiruzen was walking, he suddenly turned around and called out to Kakashi.
"Mr. Beiliuhu, is there anything else?"
Kakashi was careful with his words and actions, only slightly over-aiming and making no unnecessary movements.
Even as skilled as he was, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be caught by Beiluhu when he was in an abnormal state.
"Well, let me know when the next meeting starts."
Kakashi frowned.
There is clearly a spot for Beiliuhu in the alliance meeting, so why is there a special reminder?
But Kakashi didn't ask any more questions. For things like this, he just needed to report it. There was no need to think too much and get himself involved.
He didn't know that Higurashi had already seen through Orochimaru. After letting him stir up trouble once, he would probably not play with him next time.
Even if the Cloud Ninja kidnapped Hinata again, the result of Orochimaru's handling as Hokage would definitely be different from that of Hiruzen's. After all, snakes, even if they shrink their heads and retreat, are not trying to run away, but are waiting to bite you fatally.
But wouldn’t that be too uninvolving?
You just threw me away after you used me, what do you think of me as a lowly person?
The most important thing is that if Hiruko wants to play the final role, he will inevitably have to confront the Cloud Ninja in all aspects. This alliance meeting is naturally an important part.
Beiliuhu left.
Not long after, Kakashi saw the three dusty Cloud Ninjas walking out of the Hokage Building.
Swah——
The Anbu ninja came to Kakashi in time and reported what happened in the Hokage Building. The timely laughter in the building also proved to Kakashi how outrageous Hiruko had just been.
"Tsk——"
Kakashi snorted.
There are only two words left in my mind - "awesome".
"Teams Two and Three, follow up. The Kumogakure Ninja delegation cannot get into trouble in Konoha."
Kakashi ordered immediately.
In the Hokage Building, if something happened, it had nothing to do with him, but the road from the Hokage Building to the inn residence was all his responsibility.
......
evening.
Konoha Station.
Troy looked resentful.
"Damn it, Biluhu, why is he like this?"
"Lord Troy... Konoha is so powerful, do they really want to form an alliance with our Kumogakure?"
The Kumo-nin Chunin beside him still retained some of his rationality, but he couldn't help but worry.
Judging from the attitude of the Konoha ninjas at today's meeting, almost no one took their delegation seriously. The meeting between the two countries seemed like one country watching the clown show of another country, and they were the ones playing the clown.
"What's so strong about it!"
Troy's voice rose.
"Konoha is strong, but our Kumogakure is not weak either! The one who deserves death is that Hiruko, that guy definitely did it on purpose!"
The Chunin frowned and sighed inwardly.
Although he has always admired Lord Troy, after all, Troy in the past was calm and composed, and had a unique and powerful magnetic ninjutsu, and had the demeanor of a master.
But Troy's current hysterical appearance made him feel that his image had collapsed, and he became more worried about the upcoming negotiations.
Lord Troy's defense is broken, what should we do?
"Lord Troy, how about... we use some tricks? Since Konoha looks down on us, let's teach them a lesson!"
The Cloud Ninja Chunin on the other side was not a calm person, but looked a bit sinister.
Hearing this, Troy suppressed his anger a little, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the Kumogakure Chunin who was speaking.
Troy raised his head to the Chunin, indicating that there were no Konoha ninjas around to eavesdrop, so he could speak.
"I heard that the largest clan in Konoha is no longer the Uchiha, but the Hyuga, and the Hyuga's Byakugan..."
