Namikaze Minato's voice sounded slowly, echoing in this Ichiraku Ramen.
Konan looked at Namikaze Minato and Aoba with curiosity on his face, wanting to know what kind of reaction they would have after the conversation. This was indeed something he was more curious about.
"Jiraiya, the teacher has accepted three disciples from the Rain Country. One of these three disciples is him. Today, all three of them came and came to the gate of Konoha Village to find me. They want to live in Konoha. In Ye Village, I felt that they came too suddenly, so I didn’t agree. This is the premise of the matter."
Namikaze Minato's words were concise and concise, and he directly introduced what happened before. He did not hide anything from Aoyu and directly stated the reason for his refusal.
There was no need for Namikaze Minato to hide this from Aoyu, because they had already discussed the third generation in the ANBU dormitory.
At this time point, there is absolutely no need to cause other unnecessary troubles.
Because during the discussion between Namikaze Minato and Aoba, they have come to the conclusion that this matter is related to the third generation. It is possible that the third generation deliberately designed a trap to lead Namikaze Minato to jump into the trap.
That trap happened recently. Orochimaru and Danzo jointly exposed the black information about me to Konoha Village. These black materials were directly brought to the third generation, which also made the third generation take the blame and resign, making the entire Konoha Village Hokage. There is no suspense at all.
But things are often like this. The less suspenseful something is, the more likely it will be suspenseful at the end.
This is how Namikaze Minato feels!
It was based on this premise that he was worried that during the Hokage Succession Ceremony, the Third Generation would use all his chips to fight back, discredit him and then turn the tables.
If this was the case, he had no way to deal with it, so he had to prepare in advance, but now she didn't even know what to do. She also encountered the Akatsuki trio who came to Konoha Village, and even more... I think there might be something wrong here.
If this was the case, he would not be able to let these three people enter Konoha Village...
Thinking about it.
The Namikaze Minato closed again, and Aoyu looked over.
"I had already sent them away, and then after walking around I was a little hungry and wanted to eat a bowl of ramen, so I met Xiaonan here, but I couldn't see where the other two people were. I felt that they There could be something wrong.”
Namikaze Minato said again, and after he finished speaking these words, he glanced at Konan. Even now, he couldn't believe that Konan did everything possible to go to Konoha Village just to eat a bowl of ramen.
Such an excuse is too insulting to one's intelligence!
Namikaze Minato is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart, but sometimes his cleverness can be mistaken for him. He needs Qingyu to help him see the essence of the matter. She especially believes in Qingyu too. Trust Qingyu's judgment.
"How do you want me to help you?"
Aoba began to guide Namikaze Minato step by step, because he understood that now he could not directly tell any conclusion, not even a little bit, because these conclusions would lead to another direction, and no matter he Saying whether Konan is good or bad may make Minato Namikaze have other ideas. It's not that Minato Namikaze thinks too much, but that he is too sensitive at this time.
In less than a week, Namikaze Minato will succeed as the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village.
Therefore, in Namikaze Minato's consciousness, if the third generation takes any action, it will be carried out during this period.
Aoba is still on the side of Namikaze Minato on the surface, but he is afraid that if there is something wrong with his seat, Namikaze Minato will be a little suspicious. If Namikaze Minato finally suspects him, then Many things will not be possible.
So at this time, he couldn't make any conclusions easily. He had to guide Namikaze Minato to come to this conclusion himself.
Not only that, in fact, he doesn't know what conclusion to make now, because he doesn't particularly understand the relationship between Konan and Minato, because he can only see the relationship between them through the memory of this gatekeeper ninja. performance, but it is impossible to see the meaning expressed deep in their hearts.
At this time, what Aoyu wants to do is to guide Namikaze Minato to speak out these questions bit by bit. As Namikaze Minato's thinking progresses, he can follow Namikaze Minato's thinking to take the next step. guidance, and finally find a key point that can be compromised.
Even he himself doesn't know what this critical time point is, at least not yet.
"I want you to use the secret of mind reading to see her memories!"
Namikaze Minato directly stated the goal he wanted to achieve most, because he felt that only memory would not lie, so when it reads this memory, it can directly solve the problem.
"no!"
However, before Qingyu could speak at this time, Xiaonan spoke first, shaking his head and refusing sternly.
Konan didn't expect that this ninja named Aoba could actually know the mind-reading ninjutsu. The last time she came into contact with the mind-reading ninjutsu was when she met Otsutsuki Toneri. The memory of that time is still fresh in her mind. There is a feeling of being completely seen, as if there is no secret in the whole body.
Since that time, she has been very repulsive to people who read minds. Of course, she is not only repelling this ninjutsu, but also people who use ninjutsu.
Of course, the premise is that the person using the ninjutsu is not Otsutsuki Toneri.
If it was Otsutsuki Toneri, she could still accept it!
The reason why she does not accept this solo ninjutsu now is not just the memory of her previous mind-reading ninjutsu. In fact, it cannot withstand the promotion, because he knows the purpose of her coming here, and it is What happened not long ago also showed that Otsutsuki Toneri existed in her memory.
Xiao Nan knew very well that one of the prerequisites for her coming to Konoha Village to find Otsutsuki Toneri was not to cause any trouble to Otsutsuki Toneri.
Then, once her memory was read by the mind-reading ninjutsu, she discovered the existence of Otsutsuki Toneri.
She will feel that at that moment she is an eternal sinner!
no!
Absolutely not!
Xiaonan's position is very clear. She can accept many things, but she absolutely cannot accept having her memory read.
"You really have a problem!"
Namikaze Minato's face suddenly became solemn. He knew that if he was a person without problems, he would never react so strongly when his memory was read. This could be said to be an obvious encounter with something that was difficult to accept. It could be said that This man's memory does not stand up to scrutiny.
"But what can you do?"
"Now you have come to the territory of Konoha Village!"
"If you don't come in, I won't forcefully read your memory, but you are already here now!"
"You have no right to choose!"
Namikaze Minato's tone became extremely solemn. He already understood that this matter would not develop into what he imagined. However, since he could read the memory, he felt that this was better. Since the other party had been trapped in There was no need for him to be soft-hearted in his hands.
The moment Xiaonan refused to read the memory, he had already associated this person with the third generation, thinking that the third generation sent him here.
After Xiaonan heard Qingyu's words, she also became nervous. She stood up suddenly, clenched her fists, and assumed a posture that she might form a seal at any time, as if she was about to fight.
"etc."
Qingyu's voice suddenly sounded, breaking the deadlock between the two. What he didn't expect was that he was already here, and the two of them were going to develop in a very extreme direction, without giving him any reason to output at all. and time.
"I don't think so."
Qingyu waved his hands to the two of them, indicating that they should sit down and talk. Then he stood up from his current position and sat between the two of them, as if he was mediating.
"Listen to what I have to say..."
"No matter what happened between you two, there is actually one thing that is not controversial!"
"That means you are all disciples of Lord Jiraiya!"
After saying this, Aoyu looked towards Namikaze Minato, then showed an apologetic smile and spread his hands in a helpless posture.
"Minato, I have no way of reading the memories of Lord Jiraiya's disciples!"
"Even if you agree to this, I have no way to do it. Unless you can first confirm that she is a sinner, we cannot convict her from a doubtful perspective!"
"do you understand?"
It's not that Aoba is unwilling to help Namikaze Minato, but he has no way to help him by reading his memory, because he knows very well what is going on with Konan in front of him. If any problem occurs, for both parties, They are all very disadvantageous, and this is also very important.
Qingyu doesn't want to solve the problem by reading minds, because he is already late for reading, and Xiao Meilan's memory has just been obtained from the gatekeeper ninja. If he uses this method, it will actually make him The space for play has become much smaller.
Because once he needs to simulate mind-reading, what he will say must be what really happened, that is, the scenes that have appeared in Xiaonan's memory.
There is no way to fake such a scene, because Xiaonan is right next to him. If he says anything that is slightly different from what Xiaonan remembers, Xiaonan will be the first to explain.
After all, what is involved at this time is whether Xiaonan can successfully leave the Leaf Village and whether he will be convicted. Therefore, if there is any wrong scene in Xiaonan's memory, she will definitely explain it clearly. .
So Qingyu doesn't want to take the step of reading the memory.
certainly.
Not only did Nagato not want to go to this step, but even Konan didn't want to go to this step either. He could see that there was still great repulsion in Konan's heart, and he obviously didn't want to expose what was in his heart. secret.
If we forcibly read the memory at this time, there is a danger of a dead end.
At that time, Konan will definitely not be a match for Namikaze Minato, and will be caught by Namikaze Minato.
At least at present, Xiaonan does not have the ability to enter and exit at will in Konoha Village.
That is to say…
Once Xiaonan is caught now, there is no possibility of escaping, and it is completely impossible for him to leave Konoha Village by himself. Therefore, if he continues to follow the mind-reading method, Xiaonan will definitely be defeated, and finally reach a An irreversible situation.
Once Konan finally fights Minato Namikaze and is caught, even if there is no need to read anymore, the heart can still determine Konan's crime...
After all, Xiaonan can be regarded as afraid of crime!
If Aoyu wants to target Konan at this time, then this method is the best, and it is also proposed by Namikaze Minato. He only needs to use coercion and does not need to do anything else.
But now he can see that Xiaonan not only wants to come to Konoha Village to find him, but also really wants to live in Konoha Village so big that he doesn't need to do it in such an extreme way, not to mention that in his heart Deep down, I also hope to help Xiaonan.
This was a very simple choice, because he felt that there was nothing wrong with what Konan did, not to mention that since he used to watch anime, he had a very good feeling about the character Konan, and now they are the same age. Therefore, I feel that if the little boy lives in Konoha Village and admires me very much, there will be no other problems.
Aoba came here not only to help me play Shuiwen, but also to help Konan-san find a win-win way for him, to find a balance between Konan and Namikaze Minato.
As long as he finds that balance, he can change things and make everything go the way he envisioned.
“…”
After hearing Aoyu's words, Namikaze Minato fell silent for a moment, because it was indeed persuaded, and there was no way to break through this method. They were all disciples of Jiraiya's teacher, and he had no way to ask for it in this way. Qingyu went to forcefully read the memory of one of his junior sisters.
After all, he is not Hokage at this time.
And he was still in the early stages of inheriting Hokage.
Jiraiya-sensei is not only his teacher, but also the disciple of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Based on the current reason.
Namikaze Minato knew very well what Aoba meant by what he just said.
This is to wake him up.
Konan's identity is quite special. He is a disciple of Master Jiraiya, so if he does something forcibly to Konan, it will affect his reputation.
If you can really confirm that this person has a problem, that's fine, but what if this person doesn't have a problem
Wouldn't it be a stigma
Namikaze Minato's mind is very delicate. He already knew what was going on just by being clicked by Qingyu. The current situation is really not suitable for him to do anything forcibly, otherwise once it is exposed, it will Completely fell out.
"That's what it is now."
Qingyu spoke slowly. He looked at Konan next to him and then at Minato next to him, his mind spinning rapidly.
"Let me tell you this first."
"There are two reasons for Xiaonan to eat noodles here."
"The first is that she really came here to eat a bowl of noodles and then prepared to leave. Maybe he had other thoughts, such as going inside to see Konoha Village. After all, he came all the way here. Take a look at the place where Jiraiya-sama grew up, and then take a look at the teacher’s hometown.”
"The second is that she has some other purpose and wants to attract our attention to achieve what kind of effect... "
When Qingyu mentioned the first condition, Xiaonan nodded. He felt that this statement was very good. If it fell on this matter, it could perfectly explain the effect.
Then when Aoyu said the second one, Namikaze Minato nodded. In his heart, he felt that Konan was here for some purpose.
In fact, both of them were right, because Xiaonan came here for some purpose, and had used Ichiraku Ramen to cover it up, but his purpose did not harm Namikaze Minato.
There is actually no essential conflict between the two of them, but at this point in time, their relationship has become less harmonious.
What Qingyu has to do now is to explain the relationship between them.
"If it's the first type, then it's understandable. Just eat a bowl of ramen. Even if he has some other purposes, it may not threaten the subsequent progress."
Qingyu continued to analyze. His words were not hidden in front of the two people. Instead, he said them directly to them.
Neither Namikaze Minato nor Konan had ever seen this kind of behavior when two people who were opposed to each other spoke, and they found it a bit strange.
All of a sudden.
Namikaze Minato looked at Aoyu with bright eyes.
He found that Qingyu was like a treasure, shining all the time, but this light was covered up to a certain extent, and it required careful digging to find it. Every time he chatted with Qingyu, he could Feeling the light constantly radiating from the latter, every time Qingyu spoke, he might come up with some ideas or ways of thinking that he had never thought of before.
This made him feel very comfortable!
Especially the current method of analysis in front of two people made him feel even more confident. He had never seen anything like this before, because if there had been such a situation in the past, the mediator might have spoken back and forth between the two parties. , and said different things to different people. When these two people analyzed this kind of thing together, it was indeed something he had never seen before.
"Then if it's the second case..."
Qingyu's voice was deliberately lengthened in order to make the two people's attention fall on him. He hoped that in this way, the emotions that had just emerged between the two people would calm down. Only in this way can everything be resolved. Slowly and clearly.
"Then there are still different possibilities."
"The first situation is that Xiaonan has something to do in Konoha Village and the thing he does will directly threaten you. For example, he received a signal from someone."
Qingyu did not directly say that person's name this time, because it involved the identity of the Third Hokage. This is not a secret place. This is a big place. If he said it directly, it would have consequences for any of them. Very bad influence.
Aoba knew what a certain person named Minato Namikaze meant just by saying it, but Konan didn't know who that person was, but she thought she only brought out the instigator behind it.
Therefore, Qingyu's simple words were recognized by the two people. None of them spoke and continued to listen to Qingyu's analysis.
"If that's the case, I might be able to get the answer by reading her memory."
“But it takes adventure!”
"I can almost see that no matter whether you succeed or not, someone will make a fuss about it because you secretly read the memories of Master Jiraiya's disciples!"
“So I strongly don’t advocate such an approach!”
"Sama Morino Iton once said that memory cannot be used as evidence, but can only be used as a reference for evidence. This is why we torture ninjas and need them to mark on paper after getting their memory fragments."
"That signed confession can be used as evidence!"
"It's too risky to do this!"
Aoba said these words directly in front of Namikaze Minato and Konan. When he said these words, Namikaze Minato's expression changed slightly at first, and then returned to normal. In just a moment, he figured it out. .
Since the other party dares to sit here about such a thing, he must be confident and has nothing to hide. It doesn't matter if he tells the other party directly. They may have already thought of it.
"The second possibility is one that I think is unlikely, unless they can predict our prediction, that is, Xiaonan has no purpose at all. He just wants to eat a bowl of noodles, but pretends He acted with a purpose, even like you, you attacked him and even read his memory, only to find that nothing was found. We have wronged a normal person!"
"At that time, the public opinion in Konoha Village will be completely unfavorable to you, and it will be impossible to succeed as the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village."
"These two situations are what I can discover, the problems that may occur when reading the memory, and the purpose of Xiaonan coming here."
"No matter what the purpose is, I don't recommend that we read memories, because that will make everything very passive."
Aoba said bit by bit that he had managed to straighten things out to his side and put Namikaze Minato at his pace.
Xiaonan was stunned for a moment after hearing Qingyu's words. Why did she feel as if she was in an invincible position after she finished speaking? She didn't expect that things would develop like this. Even he himself didn't think that he would. He is so confident.
But after listening to Qingyu's analysis, she suddenly felt that she didn't have any problems at all, or was there something wrong with this analysis
"Then what do we do?"
Namikaze Minato was immediately confused by Aoba. After hearing the few possibilities, he suddenly felt as if he was helpless in doing anything, and then asked: "Are we going to let her go like this?"
