Aoba, who was directly in charge of Minato Namikaze, told him what he thought was the most outrageous thing he had encountered recently.
He never thought that one day he would be assassinated by someone from the Leaf Village.
When the Seven Ninja Swordsmen from Kirigakure Village arrived here, he thought they were people from Kirigakure Village, but the answer shocked him.
When Namikaze Minato said these words, he felt a bit sad in his heart. Now that he recalls the scene at that time, he still has a kind of unspeakable feeling.
"are you sure?"
Qingyu looked very shocked on the surface, but his face returned to a kind of tranquility again, and the whole person seemed to calm down quickly after being surprised.
This is consistent with his usual style.
When he was with Namikaze Minato before, he could think about problems calmly.
On many Naruto topics, they all had some common understandings, especially when the Ninja War was approaching, Namikaze Minato specifically asked Aoyu about this matter.
To some extent, the two people have similar interests.
However, Aoba still left a certain impression on Namikaze Minato's heart.
At least in Namikaze Minato's opinion he was calm.
So in the face of such a situation, Qingyu couldn't completely pretend that he knew what was going on in advance. He had completely put himself in a state of ignorance, making it seem that he could analyze the matter from another angle. .
Almost at this moment, the lovers were like the reactions of a completely unaware person after hearing Namikaze Minato say these words for the first time.
"Is there some misunderstanding in this Minato matter?"
Aoyu's expression became very calm. He looked forward into Minato's eyes, his eyes flickering with suspicion. When he brought himself into this role, he would feel more and more that there were many things in it. eccentric.
Of course he did it himself.
It’s okay to feel weird.
After all, what he did was not a good thing at all.
The idea of blaming the third generation this time was completely thought up by Qingyu alone, and he also completed the execution. A normal person would never be able to think of such a thing.
So when Qingyu stood from another angle and pretended that he didn't know anything, this was the instinctive reaction he could give.
Very weird.
unusual.
It doesn't seem like something that can happen normally.
"Actually, that's what I thought at the time..."
Namikaze Minato suddenly took a deep breath. He could see from his reasonable state that this friend was already interacting with him. This made the big stone hanging in his heart fall a few more times. point.
have to say.
In fact, he also needs recognition.
Especially Namikaze Minato, who usually didn't lack these recognitions at all, but now he found problems in some small and unspeakable things.
"But what happened later made me re-examine this issue."
"Just when I'm still hesitating whether what that person said is true or not, whether it's possible to use the method of selling goods to destroy the relationship between me and the Leaf Village."
“But you’d never guess what happened next.”
"The root ninjas of Konoha Village came to me one by one."
"Each of them had strong murderous intent."
"There was no communication at all."
"Their thoughts about me were just one word."
"kill!"
"Their mission is to kill me so that I cannot return to Konoha Village alive."
"Can you imagine how I felt when I found out about this?"
"What a despair!"
Namikaze Minato's voice became extremely cold, and his fiery heart rarely had such sad moments as now. In the past, he never thought that Konoha Village would be in such chaos, and he never thought about it. The top management of Yecun is so petrified and loses confidence.
Now that he said it to Qingyu again, it was as if he had experienced such a thing again, and the deep pain at that time resurfaced in his heart.
The impact of this kind of thing was too strong for him at the time. He never thought that one day he would be assassinated and intercepted by the ninjas of Konoha Village.
At this time.
I still have that feeling.
After he finished speaking, his eyes kept staring at Qingyu, as if he wanted to get some recognition from Qingyu.
"Hiss..."
Qingyu suddenly took a breath of cold air and looked at Bo Feng Shuimen with wide eyes, a trace of confusion flashing in his pupils.
"Root ninja?"
"That's not a force affiliated with Danzo..."
"This matter does not seem simple."
"It should be premeditated."
"I just don't know if this can confirm that the third generation was involved?"
Qingyu's brows furrowed tightly as he thought about this matter carefully. What kind of judgment would he make if he didn't have what he had understood before when he actually experienced it.
Now his mind was in turmoil.
Like a dark cloud hanging over it.
I can't see clearly what the road ahead looks like.
I can only wait silently.
As if looking for some opportunity.
"Minato, are you sure these people are root ninjas? Mom, they should all be wearing masks. If they are forces from other villages, dress up like Konoha Village and wear the masks of Konoye Village root ninjas, is it possible? Pretending to be a ninja with waves?"
Qingyu said slowly, he was not trying to defend Minato, but he was immersing himself in this feeling. He felt that this situation was not very reliable, so he had to deal with the unreliable situation. Let's talk about it, because his plan at the time was not completely perfect, and although the final result was achieved, the path he took was actually slightly different from what he originally planned.
"I'm not excusing the third generation..."
After Qingyu said what he just said, he immediately started to explain, and his simple words of explanation were clearly transmitted to Minato's ears.
"I was thinking that if someone took advantage of this, and then made a network from beginning to end to pretend to be a ninja from the roots of Konoha Village, and pretended to be Danzo to contact the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village, Is there such a possibility?"
Aoyu immediately put forward such an idea, because he understood that Namikaze Minato came to him just to talk to him about this bizarre matter, and then have a discussion. If he didn't say anything, just If you listen, you won't seem to be too much of a friend. Instead, you will feel sorry for Namikaze Minato and tell him frankly about what you have experienced recently.
But if he did not put forward his own point of view, but instead determined the direction of Minato's thinking, then it would show a feeling of ghost inside him.
Because he wanted Minato to think in this direction, but he couldn't personally dissuade him in this direction.
Sometimes this is the most suitable method.
When Minato Namikaze was already thinking about this, if he also said that this was the case, then Minato Namikaze would think about whether it might be something else.
But as long as he said whether it could be another thing, and if Tongtong said the idea of another thing, then what he got was that Namikaze Minato rejected those other things one by one, and finally became more convinced. Conjectures in one's own mind.
This method is actually more effective.
"I can't deny that this is the case."
Namikaze Minato's face instantly turned gloomy, as if he was discussing this matter with Aoyu. After he finished speaking, his mind started to spin and he began to think.
I have to say that this is indeed a possibility.
He had thought about it before, but his mind was very confused.
So I never imagined exactly what was going on.
"But if there is such a strength, then who is he?"
"You wouldn't say that these people are all played by ninjas from Kirigakure Village, right?"
"After all, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village may have received orders from Kirigakure Village, not Konoha Village as he said."
Namikaze Minato thought deeply, he felt that there was indeed something strange in this matter, but there seemed to be a layer of fog in his mind. He was a very cheerful and sunny person, suitable for being a very strong leader.
When fighting, he has a strong psychological quality, can discover the opponent's flaws in a very short time, and can carefully analyze the battle situation during the battle.
These are the advantages of Namikaze Minato.
but.
When it comes to conspiracies and conspiracies, these things that are not on the table, Namikaze Minato is obviously too positive.
It is often difficult for such a righteous person to be contaminated by these things.
It is precisely because of this.
When Namikaze Minato thinks about these dark sides, he doesn't think so quickly. This is not his problem alone, but that he is not suitable to think about such things.
It was precisely because of this that he came to find it. When Qingyu chatted with Xinyu about the Ninja World War, he discovered that Qingyu had a very keen sense of smell in many cases and could find problems that others could not see.
He came to Qingyu not only to vent the bizarre things that happened to him, but also to find some possible clues through Qingyu.
Today, he himself couldn't explain why he acted like he felt that if he found Qingyu this time, he would probably discover some secrets from it.
"It doesn't have to be Kirigakure Village."
Qingyu immediately shook his head, his eyes flashing with thinking, and his mind was trying to sort out this problem bit by bit.
"We assume there is such a force."
"Just leave this force alone."
"No matter what kind of force he is."
"There must be such a force involved in this matter."
"This force sent a mission to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, asking them to assassinate you. At the same time, they found a group of ninjas to besiege you."
"We treat these ninjas as another force."
"He may be the same force as the previous force, or he may be another force. From this point of view, the situation is here."
"Then we can analyze the situation based on these."
Qingyu said slowly, he regarded this case as an example he did in school. Just say the words "assume X" and "assume Y".
"???"
After Minato Namikaze heard Aoyu's words, small question marks appeared in his mind one after another. Originally, he was a little confused about these things, and he should not be so clear about it, but when Aoyu went to help him sort out these things After this incident, he found that he became more confused.
He didn't understand what Qingyu was talking about at all.
It's a completely different concept.
What one force and another force.
He was confused.
"What's the meaning?"
"Why didn't I understand?"
"Tell me in detail!"
An unknown and powerful feeling arose in Namikaze Minato's heart. He vaguely felt that there was something strange going on here. It seemed that some special concept had been expressed. Maybe Aoyu was trying to understand it in a very hard-core way. He asked these puzzles, but he really couldn't understand them at all.
"Now we can analyze things one by one."
Aoyu didn't seem to pay attention to the doubts caused by Namifeng Shuimen, but still said to himself that he had pushed his acting skills to another peak, and he could speak all kinds of different things on his own. The method brings you into a situation where you don't know the specific situation or what's going on. The whole person is completely in the state.
"Then let's analyze Kirigakure Village first."
"If this force is Kirigakure Village."
"Then the result is..."
"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen were sent by the top management of Kirigakure Village, and their purpose is to assassinate you first. This is an optimal plan. Once you die, the future of Konoha Village will be gone."
"The second thing is that if they find that the mission cannot be completed and there is no way to kill you, then they will tell you the second plan, which is the rhetoric you heard, to drive a wedge between you and the Leaf Village, so that this person can Everything was shaken.”
"Then there are the people you see."
"If those people are the first force, that is, people from Kirigakure Village, then they are ninjas from Kirigakure Village pretending to be the root ninjas of Konoha Village. They came here to meet you just to prove their tolerance for tolerance. What everyone said in Sword 7 is true, which made you have the idea of breaking up with Konoha Village and you."
"But if those people are the second force, then they are likely to conspire with Kirigakure Village."
"The existence of such a second force is likely to be any one of the other three villages."
"Based on our detailed analysis, I think the possibility that the first force is Kirigakure is very low."
"The reason is that there is no big hatred between us and Kirigakure Village. Whether you become Hokage or not will not have a particularly big impact on Kirigakure Village. So why do they have to spend so much effort on such a plan? ?”
"I can't imagine any reason."
"So I don't think it was done by Kirigakure!"
When Aoyu was explaining this series of words, Namikaze Minato shook his head first, his lips squirmed slightly and he wanted to interrupt several times to express his own opinions and reject Aoyu's speculation, but when Jingyu finally came to the conclusion, that feeling The power is not Kirigakure, he nodded again, with a smile on his face again.
Namikaze Minato just felt that Kirigakure was definitely not the mastermind behind this.
"I agree with you."
Namikaze Minato immediately said that he didn't think Kirigakure Village had such ability to control it from the beginning. He still felt that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were being used by others, and they were really used for such a seemingly very complicated matter. Although the members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen may be from other villages, the greatest possibility is still Danzo.
"I also don't think it was done by Kirigakure Village."
"Then according to your hypothesis, if it's not Kirigakure Village, what could it be?"
"Is the Leaf Village the only one left?"
Namikaze Minato's heart felt slightly cold. In fact, before Aoyu said these words, he had already confirmed that Konoha Village was indeed the force that attacked him. He also understood why the League would do this, because if he became Hokage, he would The third generation's position has been shaken. Once the third generation is no longer the Hokage, it will also shake Danzo's position. Even if Danzo did it independently and the third generation didn't know anything behind it, it won't be so easy to get over it.
This was precisely why he felt disappointed.
He came here not entirely to analyze these results with Qingyu, but to get some relief.
certainly.
He had imagined this outcome before he came here.
He knew very clearly that Qingyu would definitely discuss this matter.
According to Qingyu's character, Qingyu will never give up on such slightly problematic matters, but will sort everything out bit by bit.
Under this current situation.
In his heart, he was still looking forward to what Qingyu could say, something that would make his eyes light up.
"Assume this force is the Leaf Village."
Aoyu said in a deep voice. He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Namikaze Minato. He just pretended that he didn't know these things, but he didn't really know these things, so when he brought the topic here , the real goal he wants to achieve has already begun.
"Then it was the people from the Leaf Village who informed the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to assassinate you. That's what you learned."
"Then this means that someone must collude with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen."
"At least there must be enough reasons to impress the other party."
“It’s absolutely unbearable to do something like this without general interest.”
"Then there are the other root ninjas wearing masks. If this force is from the Leaf Village, then these people must be the root ninjas."
"After all, the forces in Konoha Village have not disappeared in large numbers during this period, so there is no need to deliberately play other roles."
"Only when the first force is not the Leaf Village, the second force has meaning."
"That is to say, Konoha Village is indeed a perfect answer in theory."
"But I don't really believe that Konoha Village is the final answer."
"I think there's something fishy here."
"Even the third generation still wants to continue to sit in the position of Hokage, but Danzo is good at solving some unexpected things."
"But… "
"Watergate."
"Think about it carefully."
"Don't you think it's too sudden for this kind of thing to happen?"
"If I were in a team fight, I would never leave any clues even if the assassination fails, letting you know that I did these things."
"Although I felt that Konoha Village was highly suspicious when making deductions, I still wonder if there is some force behind it that is obstructing it and putting the blame on Konoha Village."
"Do you think there are other forces that can do all this?"
Qingyu analyzed these things seriously. In fact, what he said was not a casual perfunctory wave. Instead, Feng Shuimen said a solid truth.
Things actually developed just as Qingyu said.
It was not done by the Leaf Village itself, but by another force, but that force was himself.
Aoba has been silently manipulating everything behind the scenes, and then linked the clues to the Leaf Village. Now when Namikaze Minato came to him with these clues, he once again raised the so-called questions in these clues. .
But the more he questioned it, the more Namikaze Minato felt that this was what happened.
"Strange."
"It's really strange."
"The incident itself is outrageous."
Namikaze Minato shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. Just as Aoyu expected, when he said that it was possible that the people living in Konoha Village were not that force, he became even more convinced.
However, he was not in a hurry to reject Qingyu's words, but continued to think seriously. He felt that what Qingyu said still had great significance, and maybe there might be an answer in it next.
"Other forces?"
Namikaze Minato rubbed his temples with his hands and fell into deep thought. In fact, he had already determined in his heart that the leaf village was responsible for this matter in the end. He just wanted to chat with Aoyu to complain.
But he found that since Qingyu wanted to understand what was going on so seriously, he couldn't hold Qingyu back at this time, he still had to think about it.
"Then if it's not Konoha Village or Kirigakure Village, it can only be the other three villages."
"Actually they are unlikely."
"Because I met them all on my way back."
"First of all, there is the Ninja War. What we are facing is Iwagakure Village, but I feel that there is no need for Iwagakure Village to do such a thing. It is too troublesome, otherwise they can just kill me on the battlefield. "
"So I think Iwagakure Village is definitely impossible."
"Then the Sunagakure Village is next. They ambushed us halfway. They have very few manpower at their disposal. I don't think they have any leverage to persuade the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to attack me in such a short period of time. , and there aren’t enough people to pretend to be root ninjas.”
"The last one is Yunyin Village..."
"If it were in the past, then they would still be very possible. After all, at that time, Kirigakure Village was following behind Cloud Hidden Village."
"But at this time..."
"The Kirigakure Village is fighting with the Kumogakure Village!"
"The battle between the two sides has reached a fever pitch, and it is impossible to easily reconcile in a short period of time, let alone obey their orders."
"So it's impossible for all three villages."
"The most likely one is still Konoha Village."
Namikaze Minato followed Aoba's words and analyzed the three villages again. After analyzing again, he became more convinced of his inner judgment. Originally, he still had layers of haze hidden in his heart about this kind of thing. It was as if I was looking at these things through a layer of fog, and I couldn't easily see through the essence.
During this period of time, he has been very confused inside and cannot perceive these things very clearly, especially now that he has become Hokage again, there are too many things that need to be considered by him.
He could not completely calm down and carefully analyze the context of what happened at that time. Now based on Qingyu's heavy analysis, he found that except for Konoha Village, there was actually no other option at all.
This is what Konoha Village did.
And only the Leaf Village can do it.
Any other ninja village.
There are not enough conditions.
Namikaze Minato was still a little doubtful, but after explaining these elimination methods to Aoyu, he became more determined deep in his heart, and after smoothing out these things, he became more determined deep in his heart. I understand, and at the same time I fully accept this.
"Are there no other forces?"
Qingyu's brows furrowed tightly. Of course he knew in his heart that there was an answer, but it was just him alone and no one really thought that she could cause such a big thing by herself. Therefore, no one went to Thinking about it here, I didn’t think about it.
Not only Namikaze Minato would not consider that one person could complete such a task of covering the sky with one hand, looking at the entire ninja world, almost no one would do this.
This is a very simple truth.
There is no way to accomplish such a feat with human power.
Not only were the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to assassinate Namikaze Minato, they were also asked to intercept the Ninja Ninja in front of him.
Looking at the entire ninja world, no one has such ability.
The more Aoba is like this, the body temperature is equivalent to the more determined Namikaze Minato is, and the door's heart will naturally achieve its purpose. If he blindly goes forward and firmly believes that it is the Leaf Village, then Namikaze Minato will be the opposite. You will find some reasons. Although these reasons are not supported by evidence and there are no cases, they can be thought of in this way.
This feeling is like once Qingyu said it must be Konoha Village.
Then I, Namikaze Minato, will most likely say that.
Are there no other forces in the ninja world
People tend to be rebellious. When you are more determined about something, you will often arouse opposition from others around you. When you don't do something, you will arouse their urging.
"No."
Namikaze Minato shook his head very firmly. He knew that there were many other cases in the ninja world, including the Land of Rain, and those smaller ninja villages, but these cases did not have the opportunity or ability to achieve this kind of situation. .
"No force other than the Leaf Village can accomplish this," Namikaze Minato said firmly.
"Does just because you become Hokage affect their status?"
Qingyu's brows furrowed even more tightly as he asked a soul question. At this time, the situation was completely under his control and was completely under his control.
As long as he can do all this smoothly.
Then Namikaze Minato will definitely regard these things as really happening in his heart.
This is not because he was brainwashing Minato Namikaze, but after proper guidance, he moved the matter to this position. In fact, Minato Namikaze already had the answer deep in his heart.
Aoba's words were still asked in the form of a question, leaving it to Namikaze Minato to answer. Based on this situation, it was absolutely impossible for the latter to reply with a negative answer, otherwise it would be equivalent to saying that he had previously thought that Konoha There were differences on this matter regarding village suspicion.
"That's right."
Just as Aoyu expected, Namikaze Minato nodded directly and admitted the matter. Based on all the previous events, he already thought that this was the case.
"The Third Hokage has never been a generous Hokage. We were all deceived by his disguise."
"In the early years, Hatake Sakumo achieved very outstanding achievements. He could definitely become the successor of Hokage, but at that time, the third generation gave him a half-sleeved Hokage robe."
"A simple piece of clothing, but it has completely blocked his path to becoming Hokage."
"Later, Mr. Jiraiya and the others left Konoha Village one after another because they couldn't see any light here."
"So after all my achievements, I am already the heir to the new generation of Hokage."
"If I successfully return to Konoha Village, Konoha Village will most likely conduct a Hokage re-election. At that time, I will threaten the position of the third generation, which will trigger the subsequent series of tragedies."
"As for what you just asked..."
"Does Danzo want to be so blatant in what he does?"
Namikaze Minato paused slightly when he said this. He has always understood the existence of roots and the meaning of their non-existence. After all, he has a high status in Konoha Village.
"Actually, Danzo has always done things so blatantly. It's just that before he met me, there were almost no failures in missions and they were not exposed, so people actually didn't know at all."
Namikaze Minato once again gave an explanation. In fact, after he said these words, he knew these things more clearly mentally and recognized this matter.
The whole process was exactly what he described and what he experienced. There was no other special engine.
As for the cause of the matter, it stems from the narrow-mindedness of the third generation. He wanted to protect his position as Hokage through special methods and was greedy for power, so he used various special methods.
This also made Sandai do these things to attack him.
"Isn't there any possibility of being wronged here?"
Qingyu clenched his fists with both hands and put on a thinking state on his face. No matter how you looked at it, he seemed to be looking for some reasons to excuse the third generation of Konohagakure.
"Watergate."
"It's not that I don't believe you."
"I especially believe in you."
"I was just thinking."
"You can't just look at one side of anything."
"There's a good chance we're going to miss something because of some bias like this."
"What I'm saying is that we need to take a closer look and think about it."
"Is there any possible misunderstanding here?"
"Or is there someone else controlling all of this?"
"Is it possible that someone is deliberately leading you to misunderstand something?"
Qingyu directly asked three questions at the end. These words were very clear. It seemed that he didn't quite believe that the third generation would do such a thing.
certainly.
Before Namikaze Minato had a formal answer.
Qingyu spoke again.
"I really can't believe that the third generation is such a person. In my impression, he has always been so bright and brilliant. How could he do such unbelievable things for the sake of becoming the Hokage?"
Qingyu paused for a moment when he said this, and then took a deep breath. There was almost no expression on his face, and his solemn eyes seemed to be thinking carefully about many things.
"I really believe you..."
"It's just that I don't want to believe that things ended up like this."
"It really subverts my understanding."
"Actually, there has been a lot of buzz outside these days."
"I know there may be some bad voices about the third generation."
"But I never paid attention to it."
“I always want the third generation to remain that way in my heart.”
"But it still looks like it's going to collapse."
Aoyu's tone became much slower, and he seemed to be a little sad. After he finished speaking these words, he raised his eyes and looked towards Namikaze Minato, and the two looked at each other.
"Minato, was it really the Third Generation who did this?"
