Hiruzen's voice was low and cold, revealing a strong threat.
However, when this sentence entered the ears of Third Kazekage, who had long been uninterested in fighting, it suddenly beca a wonderful voice.
"Third Hokage-dono, do you an that as long as I leave, there will be no war between our two villages?"
Third Kazekage stared at Hiruzen.
He still pays more attention to this kind of thing!
During the Second Ninja World War, Sunagakure had once fought with Konohagakure.
In comparison.
Sunagakure's strength was not Konohagakure's match.
Third Kazekage was very clear on this point.
This was also why he wanted to seize this opportunity to launch a sneak attack. He knew that once he missed this opportunity, there would be no other chance.
But...
If things could be reversed now.
Then he was still very willing!
"Leave now. I won't pursue what happened just now." Hiruzen's said coldly.
"Are you serious?"
Third Kazekage showed a look of disbelief. This kind of thing was simply beyond his expectations. He had done such a thing to Konohagakure and killed a few of Konohagakure's ninjas. And he could go?
Could it be a trap?
The mind of the Third Kazekage was still relatively slow and naive. He stared suspiciously at Hiruzen, his mind carefully thinking about this matter.
"I am serious!"
Hiruzne nodded again. He was very clear about the current situation. There were many things that he could not be willful about.
Now, there was Sunagakure's Third Kazekage in the village, and there was Kumogakure outside.
He vaguely felt that there was a connection between the two.
But he did not see any complicated connection in Third Kazekage's eyes.
He felt strange in his heart.
However.
Now was not the ti to think about these things carefully.
Kumogakure's envoy group was outside Konohagakure's door. This matter was more important at the mont, but he had to ensure that the Third Kazekage left.
"If you don't want to, then I will accompany you to the end and officially declare war on you, Sunagakure!" Hiruzne said in a deep voice. His words were threatening the Third Kazekage to make him submit.
"I understand!"
Third Kazekage nodded and stared deeply at Hiruzen. He said, "We will leave now!"
After the Third Kazekage said this, he looked at the Sunagakure ninjas around him.
He exchanged glances with everyone.
Everyone understood what the Third Kazekage ant.
Now the mission had failed.
There was no need to continue.
It was ti to leave!
"Let's go!"
The Third Kazekage shouted in a low voice. Then, he imdiately brought the Sunagakure ninjas around him and quickly ran toward the west side of the village. It was the direction they ca from.
Hiruzen looked at the scene in front of him and stared at the back of Third Kazekage who left.
Until he confird that the Third Kazekage had left.
"Phew..."
Hiruzen could not help but let out a long sigh of relief. His eyes shone with a solemn light.
"Hatake Sakumo," Hiruzen shouted.
Swish!
All of a sudden.
A figure seed to appear out of thin air.
He appeared in front of Hiruzen at an extrely fast speed. It was the Konoha White Fang - Hatake Sakumo.
"You are more familiar with Sunagakure's fighting style. You will lead a team to follow them from a distance. If they really leave Konohagakure, then this matter will be forgotten for the ti being. But if they don't leave Konohagakure, imdiately report the information to !" Hiruzen instructed Sakumo. He was still worried about the Third Kazekage.
After all, the other side ca here from a distance to sneak attack. Would they really leave so easily?
"Yes!"
After hearing Hiruzen's instruction, Sakumo imdiately responded. Then, with a few ninjas, his figure flashed and disappeared, chasing in the direction where the Third Kazekage had left.
Sakumo's figure was extrely fast. In a few flashes, he caught up with the Sunagakure ninjas who were shuttling in the forest of Konohagakure. However, he kept a distance from them and did not follow them completely.
As Sakumo left.
Hiruzen could be said to have temporarily solved the crisis here. He imdiately turned his head and looked in the direction of Konohagakure's main entrance.
"Kumogakure's envoy..."
Hiruzen's mind had already beco a little chaotic. Even he himself was not very clear whether there was any connection between Kumogakure and Sunagakure.
If there was, then...
Why did Sunagakure's people really leave just like that!
But if he said it didn't...
It was too much of a coincidence for the people of these two villages to co one after the other!
Most importantly...
The Third Kazekage had actually co personally!
How could he not pay attention to these things!
"I hope that Sunagakure's people will not co back!"
Hiruzen took a deep breath. It was not that he did not want to fight with Sunagakure, but he had no way to do so now.
If Kumogakure and Sunagakure's people attacked Konohagakure together at this ti.
Then things will beco very difficult!
"You go and inform the two advisors!" Hiruzen looked at the ninja next to him and imdiately said.
"Yes!"
The ninja imdiately responded, then his figures flashed and left this place.
"The rest of you, follow to the main entrance to welco Kumogakure's envoy group!" Hiruzen instructed again and then walked in the direction of the main entrance.
Whoosh!
However, at this mont.
The onlookers in the village imdiately burst into an uproar.
Everyone began to discuss with each other.
"Kumogakure's envoy actually ca again?"
"Why did a Kumogakure envoy co to our Konohagakure?"
"What exactly is going on?"
"Third Hokage-sama, we need your explanation!"
"Yes! We need an explanation!"
"..."
Shouts erupted from the crowd one after another. These people were attracted by the sounds of battle, but before they could see much of the battle, the battle had already ended.
However.
The Third Hokage's decision.
This caused many people in the village to question him.
For example...
Why did he let the Third Kazekage go?
From the perspective of the people in the village just now, they could still trap Third Kazekage to death.
They did not understand the balance between forces.
They only knew that the Third Hokage released the person who killed Konohagakure ninja.
This kind of thing.
They could not accept it in their hearts!
However.
This feeling was not completely over yet.
They heard that the Third Hokage was going to et Kumogakure's envoy group.
Voices of doubt followed.
They had no intention of stopping at all!
"Everyone, listen to . I will give everyone a reasonable explanation after this matter, but I have to go see Kumogakure's envoy group now!"
Hiruzen swept his gaze over everyone. His face was full of helplessness. This kind of thing was completely unexpected to him, but it was he who leaked it. He could only smash his teeth and swallow them down.
After Hiruzne finished saying these words.
His figure flashed and disappear.
The people of Konohagakure, who were in an uproar, continued to discuss what had just happened.
...
Aoba sat on the cliff next to Hokage Rock. He saw everything that had happened here.
"It's over?"
Aoba was stunned. He was a little dumbfounded.
One had to know that he had personally sent the secret ssage to welco Sunagakure people here!
They had co all the way to Konohagakure.
They would make so waves!
But...
There was actually nothing!
Outrageous!
Extrely outrageous!
Aoba continuously complained in his heart.
He still wanted to watch a good show!
Who would have thought that this Sunagakure's Third Kazekage looked quite brave, but he was a coward in essence?
Kumogakure's envoy group had arrived.
He actually didn't dare to fight at this ti.
And he even left with his n.
"Forget it!"
The corners of Aoba's mouth curled up slightly. He looked in the direction of Konohagakure's main entrance, and a aningful look appeared in his eyes.
"This ti, I have left a lot of backups. Third Kazekage killed Konohagakure's ninja so impulsively. The war between Konohagakure and Sunagakure must be unavoidable!"
Aoba's eyes were still staring in the direction of Konohagakure's main entrance as if his vision could travel through space and directly focus on Kumogakure's envoy group.
"I still have a backup plan on Kumogakure's side!"
"This ti, it should not be a question of whether Kumogakure wants to make peace or not!"
"I'm afraid that Konohagakure will not allow such a thing to happen!"
"In addition, there is also the arrangent in the Country of Rain."
"The world is already in chaos!"
Aoba felt that he was like a director of a variety show. He brought a general direction of the plot to the show and let the people who participated in the show act according to the plot. However, the subtle process could be decided by the actors.
"Then..."
Aoba withdrew his gaze from the distance and turned to look in the direction that Sunagakure's ninja left.
All of a sudden.
Aoba directly stood up from the cliff.
"The current situation is..."
"Third Kazekage killed Konohagakure's ninja!"
"Konohagakure's people are already complaining. This matter must not be over!"
"But in Third Kazekage's heart..."
"Sunagakure has already forgiven Konohagakure!"
"Then we have to give Sunagakure a little sothing that he can't forgive!"
"Otherwise, what happened earlier might have been for nothing!"
Aoba's head spun quickly. He had already realized in his heart that as long as Sunagakure didn't want to have a war with Konohagakure, then when the ti ca, he would only have to say sothing nice to Hiruzne and pay so compensation. The matter might end up like that.
This was sothing that Aoba didn't want to see.
Sunagakure's surprise attack team actually ca to Konohagakure!
That ant...
Third Kazekage had been waiting for this opportunity for a long ti.
In this case.
This ti, the opportunity did not exist!
If the opportunity existed.
Wouldn't he really steal Konohagakure?
Thinking of this.
Aoba's figure was like a ghost.
He quickly chased in the direction that Sunagakure's ninja left.
...
Third Kazekage ran in front, his speed getting faster and faster. He did not want to continue this battle for a long ti.
From the beginning, he did not define this as a battle.
This was a sneak attack.
It was completely based on the fact that Konohagakure's elites went out to attack Kumogakure.
If he knew that this was how Konohagakure was doing right now.
He definitely wouldn't have co.
Right now, he was constantly cursing Mani in his heart.
'What the hell!'
'It was sent back without even knowing if the information is true or not..'
'Isn't this a mistake!'
"Third Kazekage-sama, we have a tail behind us." One of the Sunagakure ninjas said to the Third Kazekage.
"So be it. They just want to see if we really leave. This is very normal. If they did nothing, then it is not right." The Third Kazekage said indifferently.
"Should we..." This Sunagakure ninja made a gesture of a hand knife cutting his neck. The implication was very obvious. He wanted to cut off the tail behind them.
"There's no need."
Third Kazekage shook his head. As he spoke, his speed did not slow down in the slightest.
"It's normal for Konohagakure to send people to keep an eye on us now."
"We don't need to cause unnecessary trouble for this kind of matter."
"But..."
"If we leave the range of Konohagakure."
"If they continue to follow..."
Third Kazekage did not finish his sentence. There was a killing intent contained in his words. All the Sunagakure ninjas who followed him understood his aning.
As Sunagakure Third Kazekage.
He could bring these Sunagakure Elite Jonin to force his way into Konohagakure.
One could see his character.
Riches were sought in danger!
He was willing to try and seize the small opportunity to fight, which was also his strong point.
Now they left Konohagakure.
It was just a tactical avoidance.
Because he found that the intelligence was completely different from what he had obtained. They were just a surprise attack team. If they were suddenly discovered, they would directly be in a passive situation.
This was not to say that he was terrified!
As long as these Konohagakure ninjas dared to continue chasing after them after they left Konohagakure.
He did not mind killing them at all.
After all.
Inside Konohagakure was one thing.
Outside Konohagakure was another matter.
Third Kazekage was only afraid that sothing would happen inside Konohagakure. Once they left the village, there would be nothing to be afraid of. Moreover, the person following them was not the Third Hokage.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
All of a sudden.
Sunagakure's ninjas increased their speed of departure.
They did not want to stay too long in Konohagakure.
After all, there were too many possibilities of accidents in staying here and they did not want to happen this at the current stage.
...
More than ten minutes later.
The Sunagakure ninjas led by the Third Kazekage had already arrived at the wall to the west of Konohagakure.
They ca in from this side.
Next.
They passed through Konohagakure's barrier one after the other.
They walked out of the village.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Just after Sunagakure ninjas left.
Sakumo and the others stopped on the branch next to Konohagakure and watched Kumogakure's team leave, but no one chased after them.
"Sakumo-sama, are we going to let them go just like that?" One of the ninjas asked unwillingly.
"This kind of thing is not up to us to decide." Sakumo shook his head and said.
"Damn it, these Sunagakure ninjas took advantage of the ti when we were receiving Kumogakure's envoy group to attack us and even killed Konohagakure's ninja. How could we let them leave like this!" A ninja said indignantly.
"Our mission is to confirm that Sunagakure ninja has left. The other things are not under our control. We just need to complete the mission. Now retreat!" Sakumo glanced at the ninjas around him, and then directly said the order in an unquestionable tone.
"Yes!"
The surrounding ninjas imdiately responded.
After that.
Sakumo's figure flashed out, quickly shuttling through the woods, taking the lead in the return journey.
The rest of the ninjas followed behind Sakumo after completely watching Sunagakure ninjas leave.
Only...
None of them noticed.
In the forest thousands of ters away from them.
A figure chased in the direction of Sunagakure ninjas at an even faster speed.
...
Outside Konohagakure.
The Third Kazekage brought Sunagakure ninjas and quickly returned to the Country of Wind's direction.
They jumped between the branches.
Their figures shuttled through the forest.
Everyone, including the Third Kazekage, had complicated feelings. They had co with the mission to revive Sunagakure, but the result had ended in failure.
"Is Konohagakure's tail still following?" The Third Kazekage asked in a low voice. He was very unhappy now. He just wanted to return to Sunagakure quickly and then make plans for these things again. He was almost sure that the Third Hokage letting them go was a delaying tactic. He was definitely fighting with Kumogakure. It was just that they hit the nail on the head.
"After we leave the village, they don't follow us." said the ninja who was in charge of sensing the surrounding.
"En, very good, keep your guard up. I feel that there is no reason for the Third Hokage to let us go so directly. If there is any sneak attack later, I am not surprised at all." The Third Kazekage said in a low voice.
"Understood!"
Sunagakure ninja still maintained his perception, carefully sensing the surrounding chakra.
Gradually.
Ti slowly passed by.
Unknowingly.
It had been half an hour since the Sunagakure ninja team had left Konohagakure.
They were now a long distance away from Konohagakure.
After all, their speed of travel was still very fast.
However, they were still in the territory of the Country of Fire, still shuttling between the woods.
All of a sudden.
The ninja, who was in charge of sensing in the Sunagakure ninja team, was suddenly stunned.
"Huh?"
This Sensor ninja made a sound of a surprise because he discovered that not far behind them, a ball of chakra was chasing after them.
This ball of chakra was faster than them, and it could be said that it would catch up to them very soon.
"Third Kazekage-sama, there is a tail behind, and it is very fast. It wants to attack!" This ninja hurriedly reported.
"Why are you only saying it now?" The Third Kazekage frowned and said with dissatisfaction.
"This tail just ca out!" The Sensor ninja explained, feeling wronged.
"Generally, when the tail is about to make a move, it has been tailing us for a long ti. How can he directly make a move as soon as the tail appears?"
The Third Kazekage said snappily. In his opinion, this Sensor ninja was just looking for an excuse.
After that.
He slowed down his pace.
The Sunagakure ninjas who followed him also slowed down.
"Since the other party has caught up, instead of waiting for him to launch a sneak attack, why don't we wait here and wait for him to co!"
