Chapter 451: Minato Is Really Coming Back This Time
Konohagakure.
Aoba strolled in the streets and alleys, admiring the quiet scenery.
In this period of time.
The village was immersed in the influence of war. The village was hollow and empty, and there was no one on the road.
The people in the village almost did not go out. They did not come out and wander around. They hid in their houses and did their best to avoid any accidents.
Aoba walked around Konohagakure.
It was not just that he had nothing to do now. He also wanted to see Konohagakure's appearance when the war happened. He wanted to see Konohagakure in this situation.
Gradually.
After Aoba walked a big circle around Konohagakure.
After that, he walked in the direction of Ramen Ichiraku.
...
Aoba lifted the curtain of Ramen Ichiraku and walked in directly. He sat down on the chair and his eyes fell on Teuchi.
"Brother Teuchi, I'm here. How's business recently?" Aoba asked Teuchi with a smile.
"Business? You want to talk about business with me? Why don't you take a look at the current environment in the shop? Who else would come out at this critical juncture to eat ramen?" Teuchi said in a bad mood. At this point, he couldn't even laugh. After all, no passenger flow will directly affect his business.
"It will pass soon," Aoba said lightly.
"I believe you. I'm just waiting for Minato to come back. What do you want to eat today? Is it still the same ramen as before?" Teuchi said helplessly. Now, he had placed all his hopes on Minato. This could be said to be his thoughts.
"It's not just ramen today, give me a top-quality match. Add everything to me. I'm in a good mood." Aoba said with a smile.
"Did something happy happen?" Teuchi looked at Aoba in confusion.
"Yes, just as you said, Minato is coming back soon. The Third Ninja World War is about to end." Aoba still had a smile on his face.
"I've heard your words many times!" Teuchi rolled his eyes at Aoba, but his actions were not ambiguous at all. He had already started to prepare the ramen.
"This time, Minato is really coming back." Aoba lowered his body and said. It sounded like he was talking to himself, but it also sounded like he was talking to Teuchi.
However.
Teuchi did not have any reaction.
It seemed as if he had not heard what Aoba said.
Of course.
It was unknown whether he had really heard it or not.
Just like that.
The shop fell into silence.
...
Kirigakure.
Aoba, who had already turned into the Third Raikage, looked straight at the Third Mizukage who walked out of the fog. The lightning flashing on his body became even more dazzling.
"Mizukage, do you really think you are my opponent?" Aoba turned on his taunt mode. After all, his goal was very clear. He wanted to stir the war and escalate the nature of the Third Ninja World War, by thoroughly planning the conflicts between the various villages. Only in this way could the ninja world return to a quiet state. This was the stage of detoxification.
"You are still as arrogant as ever." The Third Mizukage's voice was light and soft, sounding quite gentle and not like he was going to fight at all.
"Hahahahaha!"
Aoba directly raised his head and laughed. His laughter was like a roar of thunder, directly exploding on this foggy island. It shocked the scalp of the Kirigakure ninjas present.
"Mizukage."
"You have to pay attention to your words."
"It's not arrogance."
"I am powerful!"
"I am not here to bully you. I am here to give you a chance!"
Aoba said in an extremely arrogant tone. He deliberately said it like this on purpose.
And it was just as he had expected.
The ninjas who heard Aoba's words had already started to get angry. Even though they knew that the Third Raikage was very strong, when they heard such arrogant words, they could not help but feel angry.
"What chance?"
The Third Mizukage did not seem to be too angry. He was still seriously chatting with Aoba as if they were talking about something very normal.
Even though the Kirigakure ninjas at the scene knew that the Third Mizukage had such a character, they still felt very aggrieved. Now they wanted to crush this Third Raikage, but they did not have that kind of strength and could not do this.
All of a sudden.
Everyone could only raise their ears.
They focused on listening to what the Third Raikage was about to say.
At this time.
Other than being curious about what that "chance" was...
There was no other way.
"The chance is..."
Aoba dragged his voice out, deliberately creating a feeling of procrastination. Finally, he said, "Stop fighting with us now. Surrender to us unconditionally and become our Kumogakure's vassal again."
Whoosh!
Aoba's words made the Kirigakure ninjas explode.
This was not as simple as bullying!
This was humiliation!
Complete and utter humiliation!
Everyone's heart was like an active volcano that was about to erupt, and they were almost unable to suppress their anger.
After all, the Third Raikage's words were really too excessive!
"Raikage, your words are not accurate. When have we, Kirigakure, become your vassal?" The Third Mizukage said coldly. His tone finally changed, no longer so gentle.
"Oh?"
Aoba looked at the Third Mizukage meaningfully. Under the watchful eyes of Kirigakure ninjas, he slowly said something that made everyone even angrier.
"Isn't it always been!"
Aoba's voice echoed in Kirigakure ninjas' ears, causing the eyes of Kirigakure's ninjas present to turn blood red. The way everyone looked at Aoba was as if they had a hatred for killing their fathers and stealing their wives. It had reached an irreconcilable stage.
"Raikage, you might have some misunderstanding about the word vassals." The Third Mizukage tried his best to maintain his self-restraint. He closed his eyes. I didn't know whether it was a problem with his eyes or a habitual movement. His entire body appeared to be aloof from worldly affairs.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Aoba waved his hand directly. In the image of the Third Raikage, he showed an overall look of extreme impatience.
"This is the choice you have now."
"Either you become a vassal of our Kumogakure again."
"Either we, Kumogakure, flatten your broken island."
"Do as you see fit!"
Aoba said aggressively. His tone was very firm, it was as if he could directly push Kirigakure down as long as he wanted to.
"How dare you!"
At this time, an old voice rang out. Aoba had never heard this voice before, but the Kirigakure ninjas at the scene seemed to have found their backbone. Excitement appeared on their faces.
They were all very clear.
Kirigakure's most authoritative figure had arrived.
This was an existence that was more qualified than the Third Mizukage.
The Elder of Kirigakure.
Genji!
An old man walked out from the fog. He was accompanied by many guards. The old man had a hunched back and no hair on his head. He held a staff with a demon-like creature shape head in his hand. He looked like an otherworldly expert.
"Raikage, get the hell out of Kirigakure now. Let's meet in the battlefield!" Genji said coldly. He had just heard all of Aoba's words, and the anger in his heart was no less than that of the Kirigakure ninjas.
"Who are you?"
Aoba looked at Genji. Of course, he knew that this person was Genji.
Whether it was the information he had grasped when he was watching Naruto or the information he obtain when he read Satsuma Rentaro's memories, he had already known this person a long time ago.
Not only that.
Aoba also knew.
Genji was the person behind the scenes who wants the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu.
However.
What Aoba wanted now was to stir up the conflict between Kumogakure and Kirigakure and completely intensify the problems between the two villages into an irreconcilable state.
If he wasn't wrong...
Genji had already obtained the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu that he had modified, and it was already in training.
Now was the best time.
But before that.
Aoba still had to pretend that he didn't know Genji to achieve the effect of looking down on him, causing his follow-up plan to completely erupt at this moment.
"This old man is Kirigakure Elder, Genji."
After Genji heard Aoba's words, his expression became much uglier. He was highly respected in the Country of Water and had a high status. No matter where he went, he would gain respect. It had been a long time since he had heard such an impolite voice.
"Oh..."
Aoba once again dragged out his tone for a very long time. He narrowed his eyes slightly and focused his gaze on Genji. Moreover, when he looked at Genji, he sized him up without any concealment.
"You are the only one who has been looking for the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu!"
Ah!
Aoba's words made the Kirigakure ninjas exclaim in surprise.
This was a secret that almost every Kirigakure ninja knew.
However, they would definitely not reveal this secret.
Because this was the key to Kirigakure's rise.
However.
Now this kind of secret thing.
The Third Raikage said it so casually.
It could be said that this was completely outside of their expectations.
"It seems that you know a lot. No wonder Rentaro said that you, Kumogakure, have created a lot of obstacles for us to obtain the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu. But in the end, we still got the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu. The war is the same. The one who wins, in the end, is still us, Kirigakure." Genji said in a bad tone.
"Do you think you won?"
Aoba said meaningfully. He had just looked at Genji carefully. Although there was a distance between them, he did not have the ability to see through things like Byakugan. Although he could not see clearly, he could still roughly see the contents.
Genji practiced the wrong Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu.
His chakra and chakra pathways were already in disorder.
However, Genji himself did not know about this.
"What do you mean?" Genji's heart skipped a beat. He vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"The Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu is in the hands of our Kumogakure, how can it be easily taken back by your Kirigakure? The fundamental reason why you can get it at that time is that I let you get it!"
As Aoba spoke, his aura began to rise.
"So..."
"Do you understand now?"
"The Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu that you practiced was given to you by me."
"What you got was a fake one!"
