I just want to be lazy, I was forced to become Hokage

Konoha, Hokage Building.

"Kirigakure wants to surrender?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi raised his head from the mountain of scroll materials, and looked at Konoha Anbe who was kneeling on one knee in front of him with some surprise.

The contact message sent from Kirigakure Village was of course not a "letter of surrender", but the so-called "Kirigakure-Konoha Armistice Agreement" that had been beautified.

Of course, in the eyes of Hiruzaru Sarutobi, this kind of "truce agreement" is not much different from surrendering and admitting defeat.

Since the Third Ninja World War, every village has suffered varying degrees of damage. The big countries behind the five major ninja villages have also lost huge strategic resources. As for the strategic losses of small ninja villages and small countries, it goes without saying. .

Even ninjas who are used to seeing life and death, no one would like to see wars erupting endlessly.

The end of the third Ninja World War is sooner or later.

It's just that Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't expect that it would be Kirigakure who surrendered first.

what is this?

Obviously Wuyin was the latest to join the battlefield, but they were the earliest to withdraw.

Isn't it the loss of a ninja army, a group of top ninja combinations, and a tailed beast...?

"Cough cough."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi stroked the goatee, coughed twice, and asked Anbe Ninja.

"Did Kirigakure send an envoy over there? Or did you just send a piece of information?"

"Report to Hokage-sama, the envoys sent by Wuyin Village are waiting at the entrance of the village, there are four people in total."

The Anbu ninja kept his head down and reported in a calm tone.

"Do you need to bring the four Kikakure ninjas to the Naruto Building?"

"Bring them here."

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment.

"In addition, let the two elders, Mitomen Yan and Zhuanju Koharu, come to Hokage's office together."

If the "surrender conditions" of Kirigakure Village are acceptable enough, Sarutobi Hiruzen also intends to sign a peace agreement with the other party.

It is true that the Konoha family has great achievements, but the war has lasted long enough.

Moreover, Konoha fights on many fronts.

On the surface, the losses of the Fire Country are not comparable to those of other countries (and this is actually the case), but the strategic resources that have been consumed are also an astronomical figure.

If possible, Hiruzaru Sarutobi wished that the third Ninja World War could come to an end today!

"Yes! Hokage-sama!"

Anbu bowed his head in response, and the figure disappeared instantly.

Not long after, Mitomon Yan and Zhuanju Koharu arrived at Hokage's office hand in hand.

After a while, the four Kirigakure ninjas were also brought to the Hokage Building by Anbu.

Due to its special geographical location, the connection between Wuyin Village and other countries and villages has always been relatively small.

And when the second generation of Water Shadow Ghost Lantern Huanyue was in power, Wuyin Village also followed the so-called "secrecy law" policy to the outside world.

Since the implementation of the "Secrecy Law", Kirigakure Village can almost be said to be "secluded". Not only the several countries on the mainland and the Ninja Village, but even the people of the Water Kingdom are not clear about the general trends of Kirigakure Village. .

For Kirigakure Village, most people now only have four words left in their impression -

In the blood mist.

As high-level officials in Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Koharu and Mito Kadenen must know more about information about Kirigakure than most people in the ninja world.

But looking at the four Kirigakure ninjas who entered the Hokage's office, a hint of surprise flashed through the eyes of Sarutobi and Hiruzen.

The ages of these four Kirigakure ninjas seem a bit too young, right? Just like a child...

Can they really represent the Third Mizukage and the will of Kirigakure Village?

"The messenger of Kirigakure."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes passed over the four Kirigakure ninjas one by one, and finally focused on the little ninja standing at the front.

"I'm Hiruzen Sarutobi. I heard... you brought news of peace?"

The little ninja who was being stared at by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Goju Yagura, took the initiative to step forward, bowed respectfully and saluted, and at the same time raised the agreement scroll prepared in advance and the handwritten letter of the Third Mizukage.

"Dear Lord the Third Hokage."

Goji Yagura stood up, still holding the two scrolls in his hands, and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner.

“I am Gotachibana Yagura, the ANBU chief of Kirigakure, and these three are my subordinates, Kito Mangetsu, Momochi Zabuza, and Terumi Mei.

“This is the armistice agreement drawn up by Kirigakure.

"In addition, this secret letter written by the Third Mizukage-sama himself, he asked me to hand it over to you. According to the Third Generation's previous instructions, this secret letter involves a huge conspiracy involving the entire ninja world. .”

The information revealed by Goju Yagura is more shocking than the last.

This little man is actually the ANBU chief of Kirigakure Village?

Is Kirigakure really planning to negotiate peace?

What other big conspiracy is there?

Compared with the several pieces of information revealed by Goju Yagura, the names and identities of his three subordinates are not worth mentioning.

The descendant of the Oni Lan clan, the Oni who shocked Kirigakure, and an... unknown little girl.

It seems that there are not many mistakes in the guess just now. Kirigakure actually sent a few children here...

These three, at least the first two, Kito Mangetsu and Momochi Zabuza, are all ninjas about the same age as Hatake Kakashi, which is a bit too young...

Mito Monohan and Koharu, who had gone to bed, exchanged silent glances.

Sarutobi Hiruzen gave a hand signal.

An ANBU ninja flashed out of the shadows, took the two scrolls from Goju Yagura's hands, and handed them directly to the former without any inspection during the process.

Sarutobi Hiruzen first opened the truce agreement sent by Kirigakure Village.

'This is really just an ordinary armistice. ’

Sarutobi Hiruzen read the scroll word for word, for fear of missing a word.

‘Kirigakure really wants an armistice, and he doesn’t want to use the name of an armistice, but there is no war compensation... Ha! ’

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes narrowed slightly, focusing on a line of small words on the armistice agreement——

"Kirigakure hopes that Konoha will return the three-tailed Isoto to the hands of the Kingdom of Water."

This is the only requirement put forward by Kirigakure Village in this armistice agreement.

To be honest, it didn't exceed Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectations.

Although, he didn't intend to accept this request from Hidden Kiri Village.

Now the three tails have been sealed into Kakashi Hatake's body.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also heard that the relationship between Hatake Kakashi and the three-tailed beasts was pretty good, and that the use of the tailed beast's chakra was satisfactory, with almost no signs of going berserk or losing control.

Sarutobi Hiruzen would have given the Three-Tails back to Kirigakure only if he had lost his mind and gone crazy!

You can’t even pay for it!

Sarutobi Hiruzen folded up the scroll of the armistice agreement that he had read and handed it to Mito Kaden and Koharu who were standing aside.

He called these two elders here not because he wanted them to act as "mascots."

In addition to symbolically expressing Konoha's democracy, it was also for the two elders to check for leaks and fill in the gaps.

Although the peace agreement drawn up by Kirigakure Village is not as harsh as imagined...

While Mito Kaden and Koharu were reading the armistice agreement scroll.

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened another "Mizukage Secret Message" unhurriedly.

However, the beginning of this secret letter gave the Third Hokage a big "surprise"!

"The Third Hokage personally announced:

"Uchiha Madara has used genjutsu to control Kirigakure for many years——"

The first two lines of Mizukage's secret letter suddenly made Sarutobi Hiruzen's very relaxed mood suddenly turn into extremely heavy.

The content of this letter is so strange...

Are my eyes dazzled...

Or is the peace agreement in Kirigakure Village actually just a dream?

Sarutobi Hiruzen calmly closed the secret message scroll in his hand, and looked up at Goju Yagura, who had remained silent in front of him.

Seeing the Third Hokage's gaze, Goju Yagura twitched the corner of his mouth and forced a very stiff smile on his face.

The content written on this secret letter from the Third Mizukage was also known to Goju Yagura.

But not by letter.

To be precise, the shocking revelation that "Mizukage was controlled and played by Uchiha for more than ten years" was personally told by the third Mizukage to Goju Yakura!

Do not know why.

Regarding the horrifying news that "Mizukage was controlled by someone using a fantasy world", Goju Yagura had a strange feeling of empathizing with him, as if he had encountered the same thing somewhere...

When he first heard the news, Goju Yakura was not willing to believe it at all.

He would rather believe that Mizukage Mizukage is a tyrant of cholera Kikakure.

I also don't want to believe that Mizukage Mizukage is a trash who has been toyed with!

The dignified water shadow has been controlled by people using illusion for more than ten years...

This kind of thing is nothing less than a devastating psychological blow to the ninjas from Wuyin Village.

Almost without exception, the ninjas who can become "shadows" are the strongest ones in the ninja village at a certain time.

The third Mizukage was able to take over Mizukage's throne after the second Mizukage was assassinated.

This is not simply because he was a subordinate of the first Mizukage many years ago, and also accompanied the first Mizukage to participate in the first Five Kage Conference, so he is mature enough in terms of experience and qualifications.

It's simply because after the death of Ghost Lantern Huanyue, the third generation of Mizukage is strong enough!

At least stronger than all other Kirigakure ninjas at that point in time!

This is just like after the death of the first generation Mizukage Byakuren, Oniden Genzuki relied on his powerful fighting talent and fighting strength to reach the top of Kirigakure Village and became the second generation Mizukage.

Ghost Lantern Huanyue is stronger than the third Mizukage, so he is the second Mizukage!

if not.

The one who became the second generation of Mizukage back then should be the third generation of Mizukage today!

The initiator and moderator of the original Five Kage Talks was naturally Konoha's Senju Hashirama.

But those who participated in the five shadow talks were almost all the "first generation shadows" of every big country, and their successors who had been recognized by them!

The only one who participated in the first meeting of the Five Kages but did not become a "Second Generation Kage" was the third generation Mizukage from Wuyin Village...

Born in Kirigakure, the ambitious Kutachi Yakura, of course knows that Mizukage Mizukage's strength is not strong enough.

But this "not strong" is placed at the level of "shadow"!

In other words.

The third generation of Mizukage failed to become the second generation of Wuyin Village, not because he was too weak, but because the Ghost Lantern Huanyue was too strong at that time!

But even so, after the death of Guideng Huanyue, the third Mizukage successfully took over Wuyin Village and became the third generation...

However, it is such a third generation that has been controlled by people for more than ten years?

Goji Yagura simply doesn’t want to believe it!

Not to mention that according to the Third Mizukage, the one who controls him is Uchiha Madara, the legendary Uchiha Madara!

Gotachibana Yagura doesn't look too old, but in fact he is a ninja contemporary with Namikaze Minato. (personal speculation)

Even if Kirigakure Village has been isolated from the world for a long time.

Goju Yagura has also heard about the deeds of the First Hokage, and clearly knows that the First Hokage killed a contemporary legend named Uchiha Madara in the battle at the Valley of the End.

Even in Kirigakure Village, Uchiha Madara is a "historical ghost".

As a result, someone suddenly said that not only was Uchiha Madara not dead, but he had also used genjutsu to toy with Kirigakure for more than ten years.

And even transformed Kirigakure from the Five Ninja Villages into the sensational Blood Mist?

Goji Yagura, I don’t want to believe it!

But after the Third Mizukage presented evidence and told the facts, especially after he let Gotachibana Yagura personally explore his physical condition.

Only then did Goju Yagura have to admit a fact:

The third Mizukage's body is indeed filled with traces of other people's chakra...

As the head of ANBU of Kirigakure Village, after learning that his Mizukage had been secretly controlled for more than ten years, the first thought that came to Tachibana Yagura's mind was to cover up the truth.

Don't let the family scandal be publicized!

However, the Third Mizukage planned to inform the Third Hokage of Konoha about this "family scandal"!

When he first learned about this matter, Goju Yagura actually refused.

He is willing to go to Konoha as a representative to sign an armistice agreement with the Fire Nation.

But I really don’t want to tell Konoha about my scandal!

That's really embarrassing...

However, the Third Mizukage finally succeeded in convincing Gotachibana Yagura.

From the perspective of Goju Yagura, the third kage in his village has been toyed with for more than ten years. It is really "I am sorry that I was born a kage".

But looking at it from the perspective of the Third Mizukage...

In the ninja world, is the Kirigakure family really the only one to be harmed by the Third Kage?

What was the direct trigger of the Third Ninja War?

The Third Kazekage, hailed as "the strongest in history" by Sand Hidden Village, unexpectedly disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown!

And the war is still going on.

The third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village and the third Raikage of Kumogakure Village were all "accidentally missing and their whereabouts are unknown"!

There is not one, not two, third-generation shadows who "mysteriously disappeared".

But three!

Three generations of water shadows have sufficient reasons and sufficient evidence to believe.

The next leader of Ninja Village who may "accidentally disappear and whose whereabouts are unknown" is Konoha's third Hokage—Sarutobi Hiruzen!

In this kind of major event that affected the five major villages of the ninja world at the same time, and also related to the leaders of the five villages of the ninja world.

The "little scandal" in Wuyin Village seems so insignificant.

The top priority is not to cover up the scandal, but to concentrate on dealing with Uchiha Madara hiding in the dark!

Gotachibana Yagura's age...is indeed unknown.

But in "Bo Ren Biography", Goju Yakura has a grandson.

And considering the identity of the four generations of Mizukage Goju Yakura.

If he were born in the same era as his master...

In this way, there was a grandson during the period of "Bo Ren Biography", which seems to coincide with the time?
