Promote the theory of threat to Konoha, why Kirigakure brings Hide!

Chapter 48 Ghost Lantern and Crescent Moon Battle with the Heroes
  "...Actually, I also like spicy food."

Upstairs, perhaps because the atmosphere was too dull, a Uzumaki elder tried to liven up the atmosphere and made a little joke. But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he said this, the already awkward atmosphere would become even more awkward.

"Oh? Then should I put you in first and let you test the water?"

Uzumaki Takumi glanced at him with a dark face and said dissatisfied.

One day was enough for Uzumaki Takumi to get accurate information. Indeed, except for the Konoha team, no one from Konoha came to support him.

In other words, what the Nara ninja said at the beginning was just to take away a few Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki containers from Uzushio Village and lie to him. Coupled with the loss of the front line, the Uzumaki clan has indeed reached the edge of life and death. Now Konoha is unreliable and cannot run away. The rest of the Great Ninja Village will not accept the Uzumaki clan's surrender in a hurry.

Therefore, either watching the Uzumaki clan disappear in the ninja world, or joining the Kirigakure Village, now the only choice is to make one of these two choices.

But if he joins Kirigakure Village, he will feel inexplicable unwillingness in his heart, especially after Uzushio Village faces the current situation and Ghost Lantern Crescent has powerfully killed the Konoha messenger.

This would make it appear that the Uzumaki clan must be Kirigakure. To put it simply, he did not want to enter Kirigakure in a dejected manner.

After all, the most taboo thing about negotiation is having someone take your life. Therefore, Uzumaki Takumi wanted to use Ghost Light Crescent Moon to kill the Konoha envoy to gain a head start and give Ghost Light Crescent Moon a good face, which could also be regarded as laying the foundation for subsequent negotiations.

Thinking about the Uzumaki clan, they are also famous in the ninja world. How glorious it is to build a country with one clan! Now even if you are forced to join Kirigakure Village due to the situation, you must have the corresponding dignity.

It's like a down-and-out aristocratic lady who has to marry a nouveau riche in order to make a living. She can only use cumbersome aristocratic etiquette to cover up her inner uneasiness and forcefully maintain her noble status. However, little does she know that this will make people more excited. .

"Clan leader, the criminals of Kirigakure Village have been brought."

Just as Uzumaki Takumi was meditating, the three of them, Ghost Light Crescent Moon, finally arrived at the third floor of the castle tower and came to the front of a group of Uzumaki senior officials.

When introducing the identities of Ghost Light and Crescent Moon, the leading ninja also specially emphasized the title of "criminal envoy", intending to put pressure on Ghost Light Crescent Moon again.

However, Ghost Lantern Xinyue, who had already seen through the Uzumaki clan's strength and incompetence, how could he be frightened by such a little trick? He still maintained a decent manner and responded to the expectations of everyone present.

"Ghost Lantern Crescent Moon, do you know your guilt?"

A whirlpool elder came out of the queue and shouted loudly at the ghost lamp and crescent moon.

"Oh? You don't know what my crime is?" Gui Deng Xinyue tidied her clothes and smiled.

"You killed the Konoha envoy in our Uzumaki Village and trapped our clan in an unkind and unjust place. How dare you say you don't know what your crime is?"

"Messenger of Konoha? Oh, you are talking about the group of wandering ninjas who pretended to be Konoha, right?" Kiden Xinyue opened her mouth and came, and the Uzumaki elder was immediately stunned.

"That's right! If they weren't fake Konoha wandering ninjas, then why would they deceive you that Konoha reinforcements are on the way? I think they just want to deceive you and take away those talented children! In other words, they Our target from the beginning was those children who have the potential to become Tailed Beast Jinchūriki, but after seeing through the current predicament of Uzushio Village, we just followed the words!"

Ghost Deng Xinyue shook his head and analyzed, looking at the Uzumaki elder who suddenly showed suspicion: "But according to this elder, it seems that those people are not wandering ninjas? They seem to be genuine Konoha ninjas? But like this If so, then why did the Konoha envoy lie to you? Is it possible..."

Ghost Lantern Crescent Moon had something to say, and the Uzumaki Elder in question was sweating profusely.

How else could he explain it? Is it possible that the conflict between the Uzumaki clan and Konoha should be exposed nakedly in front of the Kirigakure Village? Doesn't this make their situation even more embarrassing?

Even if there are no reinforcements from outside, why should we be manipulated so hard?
  So before he could say anything, another Uzumaki elder spoke immediately, directly confirming the identities of Nara Shikaga and others.

"Ahem...yes, they are wandering ninjas! They have nothing to do with Konoha at all. Konoha's envoy is still on the way and has not arrived at Uzushio Village yet!"

As a result, Inokacho and a Hyuuga ninja with Byakugan were suddenly designated as wandering ninjas in full view of the public.

"Very good, then back to the topic just now, I wonder what crime this elder is guilty of?"

Gui Deng Xinyue was very satisfied with the elder's reaction. He changed the topic and continued to fire directly at the elder who had come out before.

"Um...this..."

The Uzumaki elder hesitated and was speechless.

"Okay!" Uzumaki Takumi stepped forward with a dark face and stopped the farce.

What a bunch of losers. They have lived a long time and let a child live in it. They are really stupid in the village!
  "Regardless of whether those people are Konoha messengers or not, by killing others in our Uzumaki Village without permission, do you think you are too disrespectful to us? Even if there are problems with those people, you should report them to us. We are the ones who take action to recruit talents, you in Kirigakure Village do not have the right to kill people in Uzushio Village!"

Uzumaki Takumi looked at the ghost lamp crescent moon and spoke.

"That's true." Gui Deng Xinyue readily accepted the blame.

Objectively speaking, he really cannot defend himself against this crime. Secondly, no matter what, you have to let the Uzumaki clan have the upper hand, right? We can't be suppressed by you alone from the beginning to the end. How can we talk about the merger after the atmosphere is tense like this?

Sure enough, after hearing Kito Shinetsu's confession, all Uzumaki senior officials, including Uzumaki Takumi, all glowed red and straightened their waists, as if they had won a great victory.

"So, what will the patriarch do with me?" Gui Deng Xinyue asked this question with a smile.

"..."

The crowd fell into silence again. On the premise that those people were classified as wandering ninjas, what responsibility did they have to bear for killing them?

deport?
  But can we evict people at this time? After they were expelled, who did they negotiate with?

"Ahem, actually I called you over because we still have something important to discuss." Uzumaki Takumi coughed and skipped the topic.

And Gui Deng Xinyue was very polite and acted like she was all ears, and did not dwell on the issue of guilt.

"You have said before that Kirigakure Village is hungry for talented people. Since we cannot master the tailed beasts, you hope that our Uzumaki clan can join Kirigakure Village?" Uzumaki Takumi organized his words skillfully and said that he had to commit himself to Kirigakure Village. From the words, Kirigakure is begging for him to join.

Ghost Deng Xinyue nodded, but did not pierce this membrane stupidly. If he wanted to give it to the Uzumaki clan, he would give it to him if he wanted to save face!

Seeing that Uzumaki Takumi didn't have a sharp mouth in the new moon, he couldn't help but have a good impression of him in his heart - if this layer of feelings was really exposed by him, then the Uzumaki clan would really have no face at all.

"Because this matter is of great importance, even at this critical moment in our Uzumaki Village, I still recalled most of the tribe and elders just to discuss this matter here."

The fact that he lost the front line and everyone had to retreat to Uzushio Village meant that the Uzumaki clan gave Kirigakure a lot of face, so even though they were still fighting, they still called people back for a meeting.

In response, Gui Deng Xinyue still did not refute, but just nodded and smiled, giving him enough face.

"Ahem, so, you guys should discuss the specific matters here first!" After Uzumaki Takumi finished speaking, he shut up and never talked about it again.

Thinking that he is also the majestic leader of the Uzumaki clan and a famous name in the country of Uzumaki, he can just change the topic by relying on his status. If he really wants to go down to discuss the specific details of the exchange of interests with Ghost Light Crescent, that would be too cheap.

As soon as he finished speaking, a Uzumaki elder came out of the queue and looked at Ghost Lantern Xinyue with an arrogant expression.

"I am the third elder of the Uzumaki clan, and I specialize in assisting the clan leader in handling internal affairs. I wonder if you have any position in Kirigakure Village?" As soon as Guideng Xinyue heard this, he knew what Lao Deng wanted to do. After being together for so long, how could they not know? Ghost lamp new moon job? This question is intended to start from the unequal positions between them to gain momentum!
  But this move was a conspiracy and he couldn't change it.

"I am the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kirigakure Village."

Upon hearing this answer, the third Uzumaki elder's eyes lit up, and he immediately said more aggressively: "The Kirigakure Village sent a small foreign minister like you to Uzumaki Village to discuss the matter of my Uzumaki clan joining the Kirigakure Village. Could it be that Kirigakure Is the village deliberately looking down on us?"

Hearing this, the other elders present all silently praised the third elder.

Let’s see how he handles this well-founded question and answer!

Even Uzumaki Takumi nodded in approval, so that they could naturally gain the upper hand.

However, I didn't expect that Ghost Light Crescent Moon was not panic at all, and immediately responded: "Let me introduce myself, standing in front of you now is the mastermind behind the turmoil in the ninja world, the founder of the internal conflict in Konoha, and the lifetime leader of Sarutobi Hiruzen. Enemy, Danzo Shimura's unattainable idol, the young patriarch of the Oniden clan, Kirigakure Village's 'Timely Rain', the current foreign minister of Kirigakure Village, the fourth generation Mizukage of Kirigakure Village in the future, beheaded first and then revealed, the film rights are licensed, Oniden's new moon."

While he was talking, he took out a document with the four characters "Cheap Act" written on it and stamped by Mizukage - this was originally a set of props that looked like a lotus suit, but he didn't expect it to be used by Ghost Light Crescent Moon. Used here.

After hearing such a long list of names, everyone present looked at Guideng Xinyue with indescribable eyes - this person is too good at putting gold on his face, right?

However, from the series of introductions he just made, aside from the false ones about Timely Rain and the future fourth-generation Mizukage, just the young patriarch of the Oni Lan clan with the identity of Minister of Foreign Affairs, plus the document, is actually enough to communicate with them. Standing at the negotiating table and negotiating.

After all, you can't break your skin. As long as the words are reasonable and reasonable, everyone can only accept it.

Seeing that the three elders were blocked, another whirlpool elder stepped forward and joined the battle.

"Your Village keeps saying that you want us to join Kirigakure Village. I wonder what benefits joining Kirigakure Village will bring to us? If we must join, wouldn't it be more beneficial for us to join Konoha? After all, we and Konoha have had trust for many years. Basics, and the strength of Konoha, no matter what aspect is calculated, the strength is far superior to Kirigakure, right? Compared with Kirigakure Village, choosing Konoha is more cost-effective for us, both emotionally and realistically. Bar?"

Since those Konoha ninjas were previously classified as wandering ninjas, it means that the incident of "Konoha gave up rescuing Uzushio Village and simply sent people to pick up a few Uzumaki clan children" cannot be regarded as something that has already happened. Because that was what the wandering ninja who "disguised" as a Konoha ninja said, and Konoha's reinforcements might still be on their way.

Although everyone knew that this was Schrödinger's reinforcements, neither side could expose this false reality.

"Wonderful! Using your son's spear to attack the opponent's shield, the fourth elder's ability will improve!"

Facing the praising eyes of many tribesmen present, the fourth elder looked at Gui Deng Xinyue proudly, wanting to see how he would answer.

But unexpectedly, Ghost Light Crescent snorted coldly and asked directly: "Allies? I wonder where the allies of the Uzumaki clan are now? Does it mean Konoha? Or does it mean Senju?"

The fourth elder was about to answer, but suddenly he thought something was wrong.

When it comes to the Uzumaki clan's die-hard allies, of course it has to be the Senju clan, but the key question is, is the Senju clan still the leader of Konoha today?
  "Konoha is a village that has inherited Lord Hashirama's will. In addition, the current Hokage apprentices under the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. Our ally is naturally Konoha!" Another person stood up and talked with Ghost Light Crescent Moon. Confrontation.

Ghost Deng Xinyue glanced at him and continued to ask questions.

"Senju Hashirama's will? I wonder where his will is embodied? How does Konoha practice it? Please give detailed examples."

Everyone was speechless again. Who didn't know that Senju Hashirama's will ended the war and brought peace to the ninja world after the first Five Kage Conference?

And has Konoha fulfilled this will?
  "In any case, the strength of Kirigakure Village is far inferior to that of Konoha. Is this an irrefutable fact?" Another person stood up, ignored the topic, and went straight to the core of the problem.

"Yes, the strength of Kirigakure Village is not as good as that of Konoha Village." This is indeed a fact, and no matter how sweet the words are, Guideng Xinyue cannot change this reality.

However, before the others could be happy, Ghost Light Crescent Moon immediately said: "However, if the Uzumaki clan is not afraid of being stabbed in the back, said to be greedy for life and afraid of death, and just enjoys the success, it doesn't matter if they choose Konoha."

Under everyone's puzzled gazes, Ghost Light Xinyue continued: "When you enter Konoha, you can't completely start from scratch. You must enjoy the corresponding treatment, right? According to the level, you have to be a member of the Pig, Deer, and Butterfly Tribes. That kind of treatment, right?”

Everyone present nodded, that was natural. The Uzumaki clan, which established a clan as a nation, would not be treated the same as small clans like Hatake and Moonlight after going to Konoha, right?

"Then the question comes. When Konoha was founded, there were many critics and many foreign enemies. It was the time when the world was created and a new face was needed, and everyone's efforts were needed. At that time, the Uzumaki clan did not join. Now, people are pouring their lives and blood, and they are united to build Konoha. As a result, why are you running over to pick up something ready-made?"

Everyone present was speechless. This was true. He was enjoying such treatment without making any merit. It was inevitable that he was taking advantage of the situation.

However, Ghost Light Xinyue is not stubborn. Seeing the silent atmosphere now, he also gave face to the Uzumaki clan and took the initiative to hand over a ladder.

"But the situation in Kirigakure Village is different. Nowadays, Kirigakure Village is in need of a lot of waste and is hungry for talents. The frequent rebellions between the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails are really making us miserable! Therefore, in Kirigakure Village, we are The Uzumaki clan is eagerly awaiting it!"

Kiden Shingetsu's self-revelation of being short and low-profile also eased the atmosphere again. However, as the saying goes, fear not your opponents but your teammates. Just when Uzumaki Takumi was thinking about going down the slope, something unexpected happened to him. .

Perhaps the previous scene of being suppressed by Ghost Light Crescent Moon was so embarrassing that some clan members who were sleeping on the past glory of the Uzumaki clan were eager to regain their place.

A clan elder stood up and concluded triumphantly: "So, after all, it is Kirigakure Village that is begging us to join! In this case, this matter must be discussed carefully."

"broken!"

Uzumaki Takumi secretly thought something was wrong. He turned his head, and as expected, he saw Ghost Light Crescent Staring at the elder with a dark face and a look of dissatisfaction.

"Damn it, it's shameless, isn't it?"

Seeing that the Uzumaki clan was so ignorant, Ghost Light Xinyue was also angry. He handed over the ladder many times, but the Uzumaki clan insisted on keeping their reputation and did not want to go down.

Okay, then stop!

"Talk? What do you mean? Are you talking about the Thunder and Earth Alliance forces that are coming soon, or are you talking about the Konoha reinforcements that are always on the way? Or are you talking about the fact that you are about to be exterminated?"

Gui Deng Xinyue ignored the shame and anger of everyone present and continued to smile.

"It's a pity that the Uzumaki Millennium Ninja Clan ended up dead and exterminated due to one careless move. It's really sad! A few years later, future generations can only look at the ruins of Uzumaki Village and pay tribute to the Uzumaki Clan. The glory of the past must be able to soothe the daimyo’s heart, right?”

"But don't worry, Daimyo-sama, I will make a special movie in the future to commemorate the glory of the Uzumaki clan. The name is called "The Lost Uzumaki Clan", how about it?"

The faces of the Uzumaki clan members who were shouting out loud and direct words turned red, and they all started to get angry with embarrassment.

"Shuzi, is it bad to bully my Uzumaki clan's sword?" After hearing this, the Uzumaki elder with white hair and beard slammed the tea cup in his hand to the ground, pointing his finger at the ghost lamp crescent moon.

Hearing the sound of the cup being smashed, many Uzumaki ninjas downstairs appeared one after another, took out their ninja swords and surrounded the three people of Ghost Light and Crescent Moon. As soon as the great elder gave the order, they rushed forward and chopped the three people into pieces.

"My sword is not bad at all!"

Ghost Light Crescent looked contemptuous, and pointed his sword at the Great Elder Uzumaki.

The atmosphere in the castle tower was extremely tense, and the battle was about to break out.

　Congratulations on successfully passing my master's degree defense!
