Before Loquat Juzo came here, Aoba had already learned about Namikaze Minato's appearance from Qingyu. Needless to say, the most eye-catching thing was the yellow hair.
This is one that is particularly recognizable to Namikaze Minato.
It is precisely such a highly recognizable feature that Namikaze Minato was later nicknamed the Yellow Flash of Konoha!
On the way here, Loquat Juuzang heard someone seem to be talking about them. Especially when he saw these people trembling in fear, he felt very comfortable in his heart. After all, they were the seven people who endured the sword. Although the ninjas of the Hidden Village are very powerful, they are mysterious and low-key like the Kirigakure Village. Many people don't know about them at all, and they are not famous in terms of popularity.
This is a big problem!
Any ninja actually hopes that he can have some fame and status, even Loquat Juzo is no exception. However, the reality is that he does not yet have the ability and opportunity to achieve such a reputation. No matter when he arrives Somewhere, many people still don't know him. At most, people in some places know about the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, but they don't know who is in the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
In fact, the same situation is happening in Konoha Village now.
After learning the names of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the ninjas of Konoha Village at the scene were impressed by the tyrannical strength of these ninjas, and were very amazed at the inheritance method of these Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
but…
They have no idea who is among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!
Hatake Sakumo didn't say this. It wasn't that he omitted this information, but that even he didn't know it.
This phenomenon is exactly what Loquat Juzo has been encountering!
After Loquat Juzo came here, he glanced at the ninjas of Konoha Village on the scene, and finally settled on Namikaze Minato. The identification was already very easy, because there was only Namikaze Minato on the scene, and one person was yellow. Hair can be said to be very conspicuous.
Following Loquat Juuzang's words, the other six people also focused their attention on Namikaze Minato. They followed Loquat Juuzang's lead and knew very well that this mission was to kill this yellow-haired boy. Now the target has appeared. , the next step is for them to complete their goals.
Looking at it this way…
This mission is still very simple!
Uh-huh!
The Konohagakure ninjas on the scene also followed Loquat Juzo's gaze and set their sights on Namikaze Minato. They didn't need any reminder at all now and they knew very well that the enemy was coming towards Namikaze Minato.
This was a premeditated attack!
Almost every ninja in Konoha Village has such an idea in their mind!
After all, the targets of the previous raids did not know the existence of Namikaze Minato at all. On the contrary, it was precisely because of Namikaze Minato's sudden appearance that the battle situation reversed to a certain extent. This was a serious lack of information.
But it's different now.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village actually came directly to this Feng Shui Gate!
This sudden discovery made everyone feel cold in their hearts to a great extent. They suddenly realized a very terrifying thing...
There's a mole!
Now there is a mole among them.
Someone took advantage of this period to leak information about Namikaze Minato and passed it to the ninjas of Kirigakure Village, which in turn caused an attack by the ninjas of Kirigakure Village!
But…
Where did the time come from
Even if the information was passed to Kirigakure Village as soon as Namikaze Minato appeared, it would be impossible to complete such a decisive attack in such a fast time.
All this happened too fast and suddenly. It didn't look like it was leaked from them at all. Instead, it seemed like...
It was leaked from the Leaf Village!
The ninjas of Konoha Village felt even colder when they thought of the scene here. They did not expect that while they were fighting outside, some turmoil was still going on inside the village.
After all, coming directly to this feng shui gate seems to be related to the fight for the position of Hokage.
It was just a recognition reaction from Loquat Juzo. Don't let the ninjas of Konoha Village immediately realize the strangeness, and thus felt that they seemed to be involved in a vortex of conspiracy. It was not that simple at all, but very complicated. This attack was not an accident, nor was it planned in advance, but suddenly someone from the village communicated intelligence with Kirigakure Village.
Someone in the village wants to get rid of Namikaze Minato!
Almost instantly, such a thought emerged in everyone's mind. Everyone felt chills down their spines and goosebumps all over their bodies. What they least wanted to see and least expected was such a situation.
If it's true, I hope it's false. If it's false, that's great!
"it's me!"
Namikaze Minato nodded under everyone's gaze. Of course, he had also thought of what the ninjas of the Leaf Village at the scene had already thought of. Since the other party was coming after him, things would become much simpler. As long as It would be nice if there were no problems with the ninjas on site.
"What's matter?"
Namikaze Minato asked in a deep voice. He tried his best to appear as calm as possible, his pure blue eyes flashing with wise eyes. During this time, he was thinking about the possibility of breaking the situation, one by one. The plan quickly emerged in his mind, and now the opponent's power showed an overwhelming trend. It would be great if everything could be resolved without fighting.
Faced with Namikaze Minato's inquiry, Loquat Juzo's eyes flickered with doubts, and there was a hint of praise and appreciation in the doubts that even he himself didn't notice.
Calm and calm, no matter what happens.
Is this the future Hokage of Konoha Village, Namikaze Minato
It seems to be a very big threat.
At this time, Loquat Juzo has fully recognized Aoba's words, that is, if Namikaze Minato is not eliminated, Konohagakure will definitely rise in the future. This boy seems to have much more potential than the three generations who are rigid in their actions. Of course, for Konoha Village, this is a good thing, but for their other villages, this will be a very, very troublesome thing.
This person must be eliminated!
but.
Loquat Juzo did not expect that Namikaze Minato would ask him so calmly. When he glanced around, he saw a familiar figure.
That's a silver-haired middle-aged ninja!
Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo!
Loquat Juuzang had heard of Hatake Sakumo's name a long time ago. It was an existence that made even the three Konoha ninjas give in. Now that such a person is in this camp, even if it looks like the Konoha Village as a whole. The ninjas were very tired and their combat effectiveness was slightly lacking, but with existences like Konoha White Fang, they still needed to be careful.
As the leader of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Loquat Juzo hopes that they can go back intact. He does not want to do such a task, which will damage the two companions. But the current situation is to do it forcefully, and it is very likely that they will be killed. Konoha White Fang killed several of his companions, which was something he didn't want to see at all.
Now that Namikaze Minato was asking him, he felt that negotiations could be carried out to some extent.
"Namikaze Minato, I'm here to catch you. The employer behind me wants to see you. If you cooperate, we will not hurt you, and naturally we will not hurt the ninjas of the Leaf Village around you. .”
Loquat Shizang suddenly had an idea and said immediately.
During this period of time, he has been learning about these strategies. In the past, he had always believed that power is more important than power. As long as he has enough strength, he can accomplish many things. However, since meeting Rentaro Satsuma, he has begun to question this phenomenon. In order to change things, he understood that sometimes having a very smart mind would achieve better results.
At this moment, he understood that if Minato Namikaze was forcibly killed here, they would suffer more losses and pay a greater price.
But as long as you use a little trick, such as luring Namikaze Minato out in this way, and threatening the lives of the ninjas in Konoha Village, there is a high possibility that Namikaze Minato will give in, and this will deal with They completed the task and the safety was greatly improved.
Now he felt that this was a very good idea as soon as he opened his mouth. Even if the other party disagreed, of course he could go back to the original track, but once he succeeded, he would achieve a very unexpected goal. It can be said that this It’s a sure-win idea.
"Um?"
Namikaze Minato frowned tightly after hearing what Loquat Juzo said. He didn't know what Loquat Juzo was thinking.
Isn't this just to lure him out
certainly.
This idea hit it off with him.
Namikaze Minato glanced at the other Konoha Village ninjas, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly. He was not stupid. Of course he knew that such a fight for the position of Hokage required some strategies, and he was using these strategies now. It's time, if we don't win over people's hearts now, then when will we do so
"Are you sure it's okay as long as I'm alone?" Namikaze Minato asked slowly.
"That's right!" Loquat Juuzang nodded without hesitation.
"If I leave with you, can you promise not to harm these Konoha Village ninjas?" Namikaze Minato asked again. Of course he knew that these people had nothing to do with the mission, and Loquat Juzozo wouldn't care at all, but these He must say the words, because only the ninjas of Konoha Village can hear them.
"I promise not to hurt them!" Loquat Juuzang nodded again. He felt that he was very close to achieving his mission goal, and then added: "My employer only wants to see you!"
"Can't trust him!"
"This is a trap!"
"This is such a lame excuse!"
"Even I've seen it!"
"Minato-sama can't go with them!"
"If anything happens, let's take care of it together!"
“…”
The voices of the Konohagakure ninjas sounded one after another, and they all spoke impassionedly for Namikaze Minato.
Because they had already seen that Namikaze Minato was about to make a decision to go with Loquat Juzo.
And the ultimate goal this decision brings...
Just so that they can return to Konoha Village safely!
This thought of sacrificing oneself for others directly aroused the emotion and resonance in their hearts, making them stand on Namikaze Minato's side in their hearts, and they realized that they jointly created a monolithic heart.
Of course, this is also the effect Namikaze Minato wants to achieve.
Uzumaki Kushina stood aside, silent, looking at Namikaze Minato with a pair of beautiful eyes, seeming to have seen the latter's thoughts. Yesterday, she couldn't explain why she likes Namikaze Minato's expression very much now. This kind of slightly hypocritical attitude of clearly taking charge of the overall situation, but also putting on a sacrificial posture, made her intoxicated. After all, the Namikaze Minato she usually saw was too positive, with a strong sense of justice. On the contrary, There is less of a sense of closeness and more of a distance. Although their relationship is very good, he also wants to see some citizens working tirelessly for the things they like and want, which is what they are doing now. look.
"I can go with you!"
Namikaze Minato directly said something that the ninjas of Konoha Village could not accept. They had already guessed that Namikaze Minato would say this, but when Namikaze Minato really said this, their hearts were still full of emotions. Shocked, confused and unwilling, as well as extremely moved, they knew that the reason why Namikaze Minato did this was to protect their safety.
"But I have a condition."
Namikaze Minato changed the topic and instead of following them directly, he mentioned a condition.
As soon as these words came out.
It immediately caught everyone's attention.
Whether it was the ninjas of Konoha Village or the Seven Ninja Swordsmen present, there were many question marks in everyone's mind.
What kind of conditions would Minato Namikaze put forward for this
"you say!"
Loquat Juuzang felt that victory was in sight, and he no longer had any hesitation. He stared at Namikaze Minato in front of him with burning eyes, hoping that the latter would put forward a condition that was not too harsh, and then he could complete this mission very smoothly.
"I'm going to take her with me."
Namikaze Minato also looked at Uzumaki Kushina next to him. His meaning was very obvious, that is, he wanted to go with Uzumaki Kushina.
As soon as these words came out, more people were confused again.
Only this time, Namikaze Minato didn't wait for them to ask questions, but went to explain. He had a warm smile on his face, and his whole person looked very sunny and chic.
"She's my girlfriend!"
"I can go see your employer!"
"But we can't separate!"
"If you agree, I will go with you, but if you refuse, I won't go!"
Namikaze Minato said categorically that although he believed in Uzumaki Kushina's strength and was part of the plan, he did think so in his heart, and he did not want to separate from Uzumaki Kushina.
