"He is at the gate of the village now. He said Ohnoki has something important to discuss with you."

"Tell him I'm in a meeting, and then take him into the village to find out what's going on."

Although the Third Mizukage was curious about what medicine was sold in Onoki's gourd, he was not prepared to communicate with Iwagakure in person, even if he was not in the meeting.

If Ohnoki came in person, that would be more like it.

Kirigakure ANBU nodded and walked out of the conference room.

When the door was closed again, the conference room fell into an eerie silence once again.

Master Yuan simply closed his eyes and rested his mind, looking like an old man with poor energy and spirit.

At his age, he really doesn't want his reputation to be affected by something like this.

The leader of the Jonin class looked like he was thinking, but his mouth was tightly closed, not daring to make a sound.

There is also a gap between the top leaders. As the leader of the Jonin class, he is nominally the leader of all the Jonin in Kirigakure, but he is the last one on the list of top leaders.

In other words, he is most likely to be pushed out to sign the peace contract and take the blame.

The consultant had a serious face and a straight face. He seemed to be dissatisfied with the current situation, but he did not speak.

Mizukage held his head high and did not squint, nor did he intend to break the calm.

Mizukage's assistant is also at the lower level in the high-level list, but this position is very special and has a binding relationship with Mizukage. Generally, as long as Mizukage has no idea, Mizukage's assistant will be fine.

"Mizuyu, tell me what you think." Seeing that no one was speaking, the third Mizukage looked at the leader of the Kirigakure Jonin squad and said.

Shui Yu sighed in his heart, what should come will always come, who gave him the lowest position.

Shui Yu's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking of the most perfect answer.

Talk about peace talks directly? Impossible, then he must be sent to sign the treaty.

It's not okay to refuse peace talks, it would be too easy to offend others.

Who doesn't know that Gotachibana Yagura is the successor that the Third Mizukage values. If he really refuses the peace talks in the end and Gotachibana Yagura is killed by Konoha, he, the person who proposed it first, will definitely be hated by the Third Mizukage.

There is no good fruit to eat at this time.

"The military strength displayed by Konoha in this incident cannot be underestimated. We must investigate why Yagura was defeated so quickly and why most of the troops were captured." Mizuyu analyzed with a serious face.

Refuse or agree? He chooses or!

The third Mizukage looked slightly dissatisfied, but didn't say much and looked at Assistant Mizukage.

Mizukage's assistant was immediately stressed, but he had to speak.

After all, without Mizukage's support, his position would not be as powerful as Mizuyu's Jonin squad leader.

"The peace talks are a big matter, and there are many things that need to be paid attention to, such as the opinions of the ninjas in the village, Konoha's purpose, and the impact of the peace talks..."

Assistant Mizukage talked a lot, but he did not say whether he supported the peace talks or was not optimistic about the peace talks.

There was no way, now he was a little unsure of the Third Mizukage's thoughts.

After experiencing such a defeat, will the Third Mizukage still value Gotachibana Yagura as much as before?

The Third Mizukage then looked at the advisor.

Everyone else had said it, but the consultant didn't want to be special and had to follow up with some specious words.

After the consultant finished speaking, the Third Mizukage did not let Master Yuan speak in order, but narrowed his eyes slightly to think.

Thousands of prisoners are really not a small number.

You must know that Kirigakure currently only has seven thousand ninjas in total. If Konoha kills all the prisoners, their total number of ninjas will suddenly be reduced by one-seventh, and the impact will not be too great.

The key point is that this is not a death in battle, but a breakdown in negotiations that leads to an accident, which will make the families of the prisoners emotional.

But the Third Mizukage was a little reluctant to sign the peace treaty.

During his tenure, Kirigakure took the initiative twice and failed. How will future generations evaluate him?

Great ambition but little talent? High-minded but short-handed?

"That's it for today's meeting." The Third Mizukage said while rubbing his brow.

He is now worried about what might happen if he fails to negotiate, but he also doesn't want defeat to affect his posthumous reputation.

After the third Mizukage returned to the Mizukage's office, it didn't take long for the ANBU responsible for communicating with Iwagakure to come to the Mizukage's office.

"Sandaime-sama, this is a secret message from Ōnoki to you. I have checked it and there is nothing wrong with it." Kirigakure Anbu handed a scroll to the Third Mizukage.

The Third Mizukage nodded and opened the scroll, while the Kirigakure Anbu wisely retreated outside the office door.

At first, the Third Mizukage looked indifferent, but after watching for five minutes, his expression gradually became serious.

"The Wooden Ninja appears again, and Hanyu Mozuki is expected to become the second Ninja God?"

After reading it, the Third Mizukage rolled up the scroll and fell into thinking.

Do Kirigakure and Iwagakure have any grudge? Of course they do. The second generation of both sides died together on the battlefield.

But that's just an old grudge. Looking at the entire ninja world, if we were to make a hard calculation, the five major ninja villages all have old grudges against each other.

The Third Mizukage believed that the information Ohnoki gave him was most likely true, at least partially true.

Because ninjutsu can't fool anyone, and Mu Yue can't always stay silent. Whether he has wood escape or not, his strength will be exposed sooner or later.

"Could it be that Yagura's capture was the handiwork of Hanyu Mizuki?" Suddenly an idea flashed in the Third Mizukage's mind.

If Hanyu Mozuki really has a powerful wood escape as Onoki said, he may become the second Senju Hashirama if he continues to grow.

Then Gotachibana Yagura's defeat is very reasonable.

The powerful Mudun ninja Hanyu Mugetsu led the ninja troops to attack, and it was normal for Goju Yagura to be captured by mistake.

It's not that Kirigakure's troops are weak, it's that Konoha is too strong.

Then the Third Mizukage shook his head, now is not the time to think about this.

"Do you want to agree to Onoki's invitation?" The Third Mizukage began to weigh the pros and cons.

Onoki did not directly say that the alliance should work together to deal with Konoha's assassination of Mu Yue, but only invited Kirigakure to send representatives to the Earth Kingdom for a meeting.

The Third Mizukage thought that he could send a reliable Jonin over to test Ohnoki's ideas.

Anyway, the peace talks are not a matter of a day or two. As long as Kirigakure does not make any big moves, there should be no danger to Goju Yagura.

…

The Country of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.

Ohnoki also sent ninjas to Sunagakure Village.

"Isn't this bad old man trying to trick me into falling into the water?" After Luo Sha read the scroll, he subconsciously thought it was false information.

Hanyu Mozuki is recognized by the ninja world as the strongest ninja of Konoha's younger generation, but he is not as exaggerated as the intelligence says.

And if Hanyu Muyue had mastered such a powerful Wood Release, why was it useless on the battlefield before?

Wood Release is very strong, not only offensive and defensive, but also able to suppress the Jinchūriki.

However, after Luo Sha thought about it again, she felt that Onoki was not that stupid.

After all, Onoki didn't ask him to directly send troops to Konoha. He just invited him to attend the meeting. It should not be possible to deceive him with such false information at first glance.

Thinking of the recent strange situation in the ninja world, Luo Sha's expression became serious.

"Is it possible that Hanyu Muyue has been hiding and dormant before, and has recently achieved results in Mudun practice, so that he can show his strength?"

After thinking about it carefully, Luo Sha found that this information did not seem to be false at first glance, but it was just too much beyond what ordinary people thought.

Suddenly, a second Wood Release ninja appeared and showed the potential to become the second Senju Hashirama.

If it weren't for Iwagakure who sent the message, who was considered well-known in the ninja world, Luo Shade would have suspected that someone was pretending to be Iwagakure to cause trouble.

"What's so special about this Wood Release? Are ninjas who possess Wood Release destined to become as powerful as Senju Hashirama?" Luo Sha couldn't help but think.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.

The strength of a ninja is comprehensive. Generally speaking, it is the level of ninja phantom, the amount of chakra, and physical fitness.

You shouldn't become extremely powerful just by mastering some kind of blood inheritance limit or secret technique.

But Senju Hashirama is strong, and the second Wood Release ninja Hanyu Mugetsu is also strong.

The first one can be said to be a coincidence, but what about the second one?

Luo Sha called his confidants to discuss.

They feel free to go, but whether they want to take action against Konoha or not depends on the situation at that time.

After all, if a second ninja god really emerges in Konoha, it won't have a particularly big impact on Sunagakure.

Because the current Sunagakure is relatively weak among the five great ninja villages, even if there is no Konoha blocking the front, there is still Iwagakure and Kumogakure in front of Sunagakure.

"How is Ye Cang's investigation going?" Luo Sha asked, remembering something.

Luo Sha has never forgotten Ye Cang, a ninja who almost affected his position as Kazekage.

"There is no criminal evidence that can make Ye Cang imprisoned." Sunagakure Jōnin shook his head.
