People raise Hokage in Yunyin

Chapter 129 The curtain rises

After meeting Deidara that time, the subsequent missions were uneventful and there were no surprises.

More than half a year has passed, and Naruto and Xianglin have become stronger through the mission, and under the leadership of Hibiscus, they continue to learn experience from the mission.

At this moment, during the rest time after the mission, Raikage summoned Hibiscus.

"Brother, are you looking for me?"

Hibiscus walked into the office with some curiosity, and was surprised to find that besides the secret magician Mabuyi, there was a woman in the room.

She had long brown hair tied into a braid that extended all the way to her waist. She had fair skin and was dressed in a smart ninja costume. She was sitting opposite the Raikage.

"Yumu Ren? Long time no see. Is your practice over?"

After being slightly surprised for a moment, Hibiscus greeted the other party.

The two Yukito, the second-tailed jinchūriki in the village, are relatively familiar with each other because they are close in age to Hibiscus.

"It's almost done, I've made peace with it!"

Yumu Ren looked at Hibiscus, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

She raised her head slightly and said with a slightly proud tone.

Because of her status as a Jinchuuriki, she had to practice in seclusion from time to time. She didn't have much time to go out on missions, so she didn't have a good reputation.

And now the time has come, it's time for her to prove her strength!

"To be honest, I have to thank you. The physical activation technique's strengthening of body functions really helped me speed up the process. Otherwise, it would have taken several more years."

As if she thought of something, she whispered in a weak voice, and her raised head tilted slightly to the side.

Hibiscus knew that the other party was thin-skinned, and although his personality was slightly arrogant, he was not annoying. On the contrary, he was more willing to tell the truth, and his gratitude and thanks became particularly sincere.

He simply smiled and didn't say much.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Ai tapped the table with his knuckles to draw their attention back.

"Hibiscus, Yukito, I'm looking for you two this time because I need you to perform an important ANBU mission."

Ai said with a serious look.

He did not mention the difficulty of the task. Just the title of ANBU mission and the fact that he personally found two people were enough to show how difficult it was.

Mu Jin looked at Ai, who looked serious and slightly excited, and had a guess in her mind.

"Through our unremitting efforts, the Kurama clan of Konoha has decided to defect to Konoha as a whole and join us Kumogakure."

His face was calm, but there was a hint of joy in his tone.

Hibiscus showed such an expression, but Yumu beside him was a little surprised.

After living for so long, this is the first time I heard about the defection of the entire Ninja clan in the Great Ninja Village, let alone the legendary Konoha Hidden Village, which is said to be united with a unique will.

But she did not ask questions, but continued to wait for the Raikage to tell her.

"Hibiscus can tell you the specific details and process later."

"What I want to say now is that we need you two to carry out this mission of escorting their clan back."

"According to the intelligence given by the Kurama clan and the inquiries of some of our spies in Konoha, we can know that Konoha seems to be preparing to implement a huge plan."

Ai spoke slowly, but without pausing, he pulled out the specific information word for word.

"The whole plan is likely to involve a large amount of Konoha's combat power, and the Kurama clan does not want to be involved, so I hope we can take this opportunity to help them leave Konoha."

He finished the specific reasons.

This was also his judgment after comparing multiple sources of intelligence. There had been constant movements within Konoha recently, like a machine that was ready to go.

Although I don't know what the other party wants to do, it is obvious that this may be a good opportunity.

Let the village's high-level combat forces sneak into Konoha, and then lead the troops to respond at the border, and everything will be foolproof.

After all, even he can't figure out Hibiscus' true strength now.

"Brother, do you know Konoha's general plan?"

Hibiscus also felt that the most remembered ninja world was a little too peaceful. The Konoha Death Squadron, which had such a high mission completion rate before, seemed to have not heard from each other for a long time.

It was like a pool of stagnant water, as if something was gathering momentum at the bottom.

"I'm not very sure, but Danzo has said that he held a joint chuunin exam. For this purpose, he invited the two great ninja villages of Sunagakure, which is closest to Konoha, and Kirigakure, which they have become friends with in recent years, as well as many The surrounding Xiao Ninja Village.”

Ai slowly spoke, talking about Konoha's recent announcement.

"However, I think Konoha has been preparing for a long time, not just to show off its youth power in the ninja world. Danzo is probably relying on this to cover up a deeper purpose."

The Joint Chuunin Examination has basically been held by all the major ninja villages. It is nothing more than recruiting the surrounding minor ninja villages to show off the outstanding achievements of their juniors in front of the daimyo.

While opening the eyes of the daimyo, it can also help the other party gain face, and at the same time, you can ask for funds.

Although Konoha also found two great ninja villages to participate this time, there is not much difference in thinking.

"But none of this has anything to do with us. We can take advantage of the crowds of people and sneak in to take out the Kurama clan."

Ai slowly revealed his plan.

Yukito, who can transform into a tailed beast, and Hibiscus, who is stronger than himself, can escape unscathed even if the mission fails.

And if it succeeds, it will weaken Konoha and strengthen Kumogakure.

This wave is a win-win, Kumogakure wins twice!

"What if Konoha blames you later?"

Yukito was a little worried.

"It doesn't matter, then let's take advantage of the situation and start a war with them. After so many years of accumulation, I am confident that Kumogakure will not lose to any ninja village!"

Ai's face was calm, he was ready.

It's good for Konoha to give in, but if the other party attacks, then he doesn't mind that a new ninja war will begin!

"That plan sounds good, but I have a better one."

Hibiscus's relaxed voice sounded from beside him, and he didn't seem to care about this rather difficult-sounding task.

When the two turned to him with curious eyes, Hibiscus said slowly: "Brother, if you, as the Raikage, ask to participate in this chunin exam, I think Konoha will not refuse. This can increase the scale of the exam. , it’s all beneficial and harmless. And as long as we have this identity, we can easily enter Konoha and take the Kurama clan with us when we leave."

He spoke lightly, as if the completion of the task was just something he had in his pocket, and he didn't make any trouble for it at all.

"And it just so happens that it's time for Naruto and Kaoru to take the Chuunin exams. Wouldn't it be nice to give them a long experience?"

Hibiscus didn't wait for Ai to speak, then she finished the second half of the sentence on her own.

This is a lie, these are just excuses.

In Hibiscus's view, bringing back the entire Kurama clan was not as important as taking this opportunity to take Naruto to Konoha.

As he got along with Naruto, his feelings became deeper and deeper. .

If he brought him back with ulterior motives in the beginning, after so many years of experience, he has truly regarded him as his relative, just like Ai in front of him.

Let me ask, who would hate a child who has a sunny and cheerful personality, is smart and brave, and is willing to dedicate himself to his companions. At the same time, he is also carefree and carefree, and only remembers the good things about others. Who would hate him?

Therefore, taking this opportunity to bring Naruto back to Konoha and tell him about his life experience is a necessary thing in Hibiscus' view.

To say that in this whole thing, the only thing he was not so honest about was that he witnessed the death of the Minato couple with his own eyes and did not lend a helping hand. For the rest, his actions were indeed beneficial to Naruto.

But even so, telling Naruto the whole story is still a necessary process.

There was a trace of worry in his eyes, but he believed in the bond that Naruto had formed in Kumogakure over the years, and in the new Konoha that Danzo had forged with his own hands.

If Naruto were to hit Naruto at a high speed, the other party would inevitably have the idea of ​​returning to Konoha for a visit.

But if you go and see it with your own eyes, you would think that Konoha today is not as friendly and generous as Kumogakure.
