Chapter 536: He Hesitated
Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer Chapter 536 He Hesitated
Minato's words were like exploring the weakest part of Ai's heart and repeatedly rubbing against his bottom line.
In fact, at the third point. Ai's mind was already in a state of collapse.
He no longer wanted to continue like this.
It was a feeling akin to despair in a state of infinity.
But...
The last point that Minato said just happened to raise Ai's tolerance. This was like beating the latter for half a day. Then, when the other party could no longer bear it, he added a sentence, "This was the last punch."
It was because of this effect.
This caused the strong dissatisfaction that had just emerged in Ai's heart to slowly be released.
Instantly.
Ai looked toward Minato.
Now, he no longer had any temper. He was just waiting for the last point. Moreover, he was already mentally prepared. He knew that Minato would be very harsh on this point.
Minato felt the people gaze at him. They were all ready. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he began to prepare for the real killing.
"The last point."
"I know that you, Kumogakure, are being attacked by Kirigakure."
"And during this period..."
"Iwagakure also attacked you!"
"Since I want you to not attack Iwagakure, I naturally can't let you be passively beaten!"
"So..."
After Minato said this, his voice suddenly stopped. His previous foreshadowing had completely aroused Kumogakure's ninja curiosity.
However.
Ai, on the other hand, felt his head hurt even more.
He faintly felt that Minato was about to say something that would make him feel very uncomfortable.
At this short pause, Minato swept his gaze over everyone present. After looking at everyone, his gaze fell back on Ai.
"If Iwagakure starts a war against you..."
"Or after you can't resist Kirigakure's attack, Iwagakure's ninjas will come to your Country of Lightning like you did today, intending to get some share..."
"Under these circumstances."
"You can send me a message."
"I will help you solve the crisis!"
Minato said very generously. His tone showed a feeling that he was Kumogakure's friend. He could protect Kumogakure. He did not want to take advantage of the situation. Instead, he wanted to save Kumogakure in the middle of the snow.
As soon as they said this.
These Kumogakure ninjas could no longer bear it. The crowd immediately began to discuss one after another. When they heard this, they could not believe their ears. They felt that everything was so incredible.
"He actually wants to help our Kumogakure..."
"What's going on?"
"I don't understand!"
"Heavens! Is this okay?"
"Damn it! Why do I find him pleasing to the eye? If only he was a Kumogakure ninja!"
"..."
These Kumogakure ninjas began to discuss. Their intuitive feelings and impression of Minato had undergone a drastic change. The way they looked at Minato also changed subtly, revealing even more admiration and worship.
Only Ai was different.
The color of Ai's face became even uglier. At this time, he could completely see that Minato was humiliating him, and he was humiliating him in a way that he could not refuse.
The third point.
It was no longer instructing them to do things!
Instead, he arranged them all...
What request for help?
What do you mean that Kumogakure can't beat Kirigakure?
What the hell is this?
After these words, Ai felt that after Minato's explanation, Kumogakure had become worthless.
But he forcibly suppressed his dissatisfaction and did not refute them.
After all, he wanted to take his people away from here and he had already endured it to this point. If he said anything else, he might as well not bear it from the beginning.
But...
If he agrees now.
It seemed to be the same as admitting that Kumogakure was very weak.
Although Minato didn't directly express his meaning, what Ai heard was exactly the same.
However...
The rest of Kumogakure ninjas did not think this way!
After listening to Minato's words, the people at the scene felt that Minato was repaying evil with kindness. That was a big show of magnanimity, and should not be judged with a villain's heart.
Such a ninja!
He was using love to resolve the pain!
Through his own actions, he wanted to avoid war and tried to turn his enemy into a friend!
This was how the trust between people was established!
For a moment.
In the hearts of every Kumogakure ninja, there was a kind of feeling that this person was taking the first step from his own perspective and choosing to forgive Kumogakure.
This didn't seem to be a big step, but for the relationship between the two villages, it was a revolutionary step.
If possible...
They hoped to repay Minato on some follow-up matters to maintain the friendly relationship they had brought today.
"Minato, you are really an amazing person!"
Ai gritted his teeth and said. His muscular body was almost unable to support his trembling soul. There was a faint killing intent in his eyes as he looked at Minato.
That's right.
He really wanted to kill Minato!
But he could not do it.
This kind of thing was still too difficult for him. After all, he was not alone at the moment. Many Kumogakure ninjas were standing behind him.
When Ai said the words just now, he deliberately emphasized the word "amazing" a little, but it didn't sound like he was admiring, but rather tolerating.
"After all, I do not want to make enemies with you Kumogakure, nor do I want to make enemies with any ninja village. In the future, I will invest more energy in the relationships of the various ninja villages and maintain the relationship between the ninja villages, so that every ninja village, including your Kumogakure, no longer has so many contradictions." Minato sighed. What he said was from the bottom of his heart. These were his heartfelt words. He just wanted to bring peace to the ninja world.
After he said these words, those Kumogakure ninjas were even more impressed. They could all see that Minato was showing his true feelings at this moment. There was no falsehood. What he said was his heart. They could still see this kind of feeling.
But...
These words were another kind of thing in Ai's ears.
Ai felt that Minato had already occupied the dominant position in these words. In other words, Minato seemed to think that he was the leader of the ninja world. Now there were so many unfair scenes in the ninja world because his leadership was not good, so he reflected on his mistakes and looked forward to the future.
Such words do not sound problematic to the ears of any Kumogakure ninja. After all, in their eyes, there will be almost no surprises if Minato becomes the Hokage. None of them doubt that Minato will become Hokage because they have never seen such an amazingly talented ninja.
Of course.
They did not have any thoughts.
It was because they were the lowest-level ninjas.
Even if Jonin was among them, they were still just a low-level ninja with little status. They had to constantly complete missions for the village to live until they died.
In short...
They were just weapons in the hands of their superiors.
Because of this.
They never felt that Minato's words were arrogant, because, to them, Minato's position was high and mighty.
But this was different for Ai. He was the son of the Third Raikage and the recognized best candidate for the Fourth Raikage. There was no other candidate at all. As long as there was a suitable time, he would become the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure.
This identity made him feel that he and Minato were in the same position. This was also the starting point in his heart. It was higher than the surrounding Kumogakure ninjas, so hearing the same words was another kind of understanding.
This was like when ordinary people heard a big shot's words, they would think that he was right. After all, the position of a human was not something ordinary people could dare to think about. After all, the gap between them was too big.
However, if these words collided with the other big shots in terms of code words and made the other big shots feel uncomfortable, yet, it could make ordinary people feel very good. To a certain extent, they would still think that these words were good.
After all...
The butt had decided the position!
In this situation, although the Kumogakure ninjas in the barrier felt that Minato was a bit too much, they did not think it was a big problem.
Moreover.
They could also tell.
Minato was very open-minded. To be able to say such words was already something that the other big shots of the ninja village could not do.
Of course.
They also didn't notice Ai's strange annoyance toward Minato. They just felt that Ai was also convinced by Minato's temperament and began to admit that he was amazing.
In fact.
Among all the people at the scene.
Only Ai himself had set himself at that height.
But none of the other people felt that Ai had reached that height. They did not even compare Ai and Minato together.
When Minato removed all his defenses and walked up to Ai step by step, everyone already understood that Minato had already reached another height.
After Minato heard Ai's words, the corners of his mouth still maintained a smile. However, he smiled and did not say anything else. He only silently waited for Ai's next words.
"Hu..."
Ai couldn't help but take a deep breath. At this time, he already understood that he had been firmly crushed by Minato.
No matter what he said, it was useless.
The only important thing now was to agree to those three conditions so that they could go out. As for what they would do after going out, that was their own business.
Thinking of this.
Although Ai was dissatisfied and was very unhappy with Minato's request. He felt that Minato was trampling on his personality and self-esteem. It was better to let him pay some financial compensation, but he had to agree to this matter.
"Good..."
Ai vigorously nodded in agreement this time. Of course, he just said this and had no intention of fulfilling it.
Because of this.
It was not difficult for him to answer this question.
However, it was difficult for him to get over this problem in his heart.
After he agreed.
He felt that all the energy in his body had been drained. He had no strength left in his body. He did not want to stay here any longer. He wanted to end this nightmare. The thing he wanted to do the most now was to return to Kumogakure. From then on, he would concentrate on training and work hard to improve his strength so that he could be more relaxed when he met Minato next time.
The Kumogakure ninjas also breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing Ai's words, they understood that this matter could affect their life and death could finally end.
"You can go now."
Minato nodded to Ai, then directly turned around and took a step back toward Kushina, leaving his back to Ai.
In a split second.
Ai's eyes shrank.
He instinctively clenched his fists. He felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he missed it, he would never find such an opportunity.
But...
He hesitated...
