CH 203

Minato was in a good mood at this moment.

He knew that Kushina would agree to his request and go to Mount Myoboku with him.

This way, Kushina would be by his side.

He didn't have to worry about anything.

"Aoba, thank you. I didn't expect that you would solve all my problems. You are really amazing!"

Minato stared at Aoba and said seriously. His blue eyes carefully looked at Aoba as if he wanted to see Aoba's mind through Aoba's face.

He didn't know why.

The more he interacted with Aoba, the more he felt that Aoba was not as simple as he seemed.

However, he did not think about it that much.

At most, there were some small secrets!

In life.

Who doesn't have a little secret!

This was nothing!

"Hahaha, your question happens to be something I can talk about. Moreover, what I'm talking about are just some theoretical opinions. Whether it really works or not depends on you." Aoba said with a smile.

"Aoba, actually, there is something I don't understand. How did you know that Mount Myoboku can teach senjutsu?" Minato stared at Aoba and could not help but ask. He was still a little curious about this matter.

"Tsunade-sama said it," Aoba answered without hesitation. He knew that the faster he answered at this time, the more he would not think about it. When he raised the topic of senjutsu with Minato, he had already thought of an excuse.

"Tsunade-sama?"

Minato was even more puzzled. Tsunade-sama's Summoned beast should be in the Shikkotsu Forest, not Mount Myoboku. How did she know about it?

Just as Minato was puzzled.

Aoba seemed to have seen through Minato's doubts and nodded at him.

"That's right!"

"It was Tsunade-sama who said it!"

"When Tsunade-sama was healing my body; at that time, she mentioned that the three holy lands teach senjutsu."

"At that time, Tsunade-sama also said that Jiraiya-sama also knew about this matter."

"I just don't know if Jiraiya-sama has already learned senjutsu!"

Aoba didn't answer the question confidently. After all, he didn't know if Jiraiya had already learned senjutsu.

If Jiraiya hadn't learned senjutsu at this time and he said that Jiraiya learned it; he would have been exposed when Minato went to Mount Myoboku.

It was better to say that it was Tsunade.

Anyway, Tsunade would not return to Konohagakure for decades.

She might as well take the blame for her student!

"So that's how it is!"

Minato nodded in realization. He would still believe his Jiraiya-sensei and Tsunade-sama's words.

"I thought that Jiraiya-sensei came back just to sell books!" Minato said with a smile.

Sell books?

Aoba immediately caught onto one of the keywords.

He instantly understood it.

'Good fellow.'

'So this was how the book Icha Icha Paradise came about!'

'No wonder Eaton said that it was a new book he bought some time ago.'

'Looking at it from the time.'

'Isn't that the time when Jiraya returned to Konohagakure?'

"Aoba, I won't stay here any longer. Now I have to ask Gamabunta about senjutsu. After confirming it, I will go to Third Hokage-sama for leave. When I leave, you must be careful!" Minato reminded Aoba. In fact, he still cared about Aoba.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Aoba nodded.

After he finished speaking.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the box in the corner.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.

"Minato, if you can get me some more books before you leave, that would be even better."

Aoba smiled and looked at Minato. He had just taken these books back and had not started reading them yet, but he knew that they would not last long.

Minato would need at least a few months of leave.

If there were more books in stock.

Then it would be a very good thing for his subsequent accumulation.

"You still want books?"

Minato stared at Aoba suspiciously. Just as he was about to carry out a few more sentences of preaching, he remembered that Aoba had just given him a suggestion. He immediately stopped what he was about to say.

"Alright!"

Minato nodded and agreed. He still had a lot of books at home. Since he couldn't use them for the time being, he might as well give them to Aoba.

After Minato agreed.

The two of them chatted for a while.

Then, Minato left Aoba's dormitory.

After Aoba closed his room door, he returned to the iron bed.

"It's almost dawn!"

Aoba would never have thought that Konohagakure night which was destined to be extraordinary, was actually spent chatting with Minato.

...

On the other side.

Just as Aoba and Minato were chatting about the matter of Mount Myoboku and learning senjutsu.

The boiling emotions of the Konohagakure people had pushed the matter to its climax.

At this moment.

The residence of Kumogakure's envoy group.

"Hari-sama, Konohagakure's Anbu is here. There are a lot of them. It doesn't look like they are here to negotiate." A Kumogakure ninja in charge of gathering information reported.

"Looks like we have to break out of the encirclement!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed through Hari's eyes. He knew very well that there was no longer any negotiation when things had developed to this point.

"This..."

"Are we really going to do this?"

"Is this okay?"

"Isn't it too extreme?"

"This is more dangerous!"

"..."

Some of the Kumogakure's envoy group members voiced their doubts.

Not all the envoys were ninjas.

After all, negotiations needed to be talked about. There were many staff officers here. Their mission was to argue with the Third Hokage and ask for the greatest benefits.

Now that they were facing such an extremely dangerous situation, their hearts were all shaken. They already had doubts about Hari's arrangements.

"Don't you understand the situation?"

Hari looked at the crowd and narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes flashing with anger.

"Or you don't want to believe this result at all!"

"Is there any use in deceiving yourself?"

"Konohagakure's Anbu has already surrounded us."

"Staying here is equivalent to waiting for death!"

"Only if we rush out will we have a chance to live!"

Hari looked coldly at the staff officers who came to negotiate and suddenly felt that he had brought some burden.

They hadn't played any role!

They started to panic when they encountered something.

They didn't listen to orders.

When they came, they were a group of burdens and would shout tired after walking for a while.

When they were leaving, they were here to question his words.

Hari's heart was very angry and dissatisfied because of these sudden events.

Now he was being refuted face to face by these staff officers.

All of a sudden.

His body began to emit a dangerous aura.

"Hari-sama, I think there are other solutions to this matter. Konohagakure is afraid of Kumogakure's strength. It's not impossible to sit down and talk about it!"

"The way we deal with things can't be too extreme, right?"

"That's right! If we directly kill our way out now, only death awaits us! Even if Konohagakure's people caught us, they would still be afraid of Kumogakure and wouldn't dare to do anything to us!"

"Right now, the matters outside are the only information that we have gathered. Gasshi-sama's whereabouts are unknown. Perhaps it is a play that Konohagakure directed themself."

"Hari-sama, I feel that we should not leave. Instead, we should cooperate with Konohagakure and then negotiate again!"

"..."

One sentence after another came out of the mouths of these staff officers. Each of them was gentle and refined. The long-distance running had already made them suffer. If they rush out against the Konoha Anbu, they would really die.

These voices were polite at first, and they still respected Hari. But in the end, they became more and more suspicious, more and more distrustful, and even had differences in concepts.

"Have you said enough?"

Hari's face became more and more ugly. When he led Kumogakure's envoy group here, he did not expect that things would develop to this point.

If you summarized it.

There were no mistakes in his decision-making.

There was no mishandling either.

Not to mention the involvement of other forces.

As for the problem.

It could only be described with one word.

That was...

Pig teammates!

They were all pig teammates!

Hari looked at these noisy staff officers whose mouths were still chattering and felt that his ears were about to be broken by them.

"I'll ask you one last time!"

"Are you guys leaving or not?"

"Time is of the essence right now. The more we delay, the more casualties we will suffer!"

Hari's tone had already started to become impatient. He had suffered a series of ruthless blows this night.

Following such a bunch of pig teammates to complete missions.

He was already beginning to doubt the meaning of his existence!

"No!"

"We are not leaving!"

"We definitely can't leave!"

"Leaving now is suicide!"

"If you want to leave, then leave by yourself!"

"Absolutely not!"

"..."

The staff officers of Kumogakure's envoy group shook their heads simultaneously. Almost no one wanted to leave with Hari and decided to stay.

In their opinion.

Staying was the only way to survive.

Leaving was a road of death.

"A bunch of burdens!"

After Hari finished speaking, he immediately looked toward the ninjas beside him.

"Let's retreat!" Hari ordered.

"Yes!"

These ninjas followed Hari's lead and did not say much nonsense. All of them were ready to kill their way out.

"The two of you..."

Hari looked at the two Kumogakure ninjas beside him, and his cold eyes flashed with strong killing intent.

"Clean up this place!"

Hari's tone was murderous, and it instantly shook the bodies of the ninjas around him.
