The Shadow of Konoha

"B, do you think I should accept Konoha's conditions? And devote all my energy to dealing with Iwagakure in the future?" After the Konoha people left the negotiation room, the Raikage asked the people around him.

"Given our current situation, we need to sign an alliance treaty with Konoha no matter what. This is the basis. As for further issues, it depends on whether you, as the Raikage, have the courage to restore order in Kumogakure as soon as possible... Although the people of Konoha showed great strength today, I don't think they will force the alliance agreement to be tied to our change of battle line." The man thought for a moment and replied.

According to the tradition of Kumogakure that has been passed down for three generations, the name of the Raikage is always A, and next to A there will be a partner called B. From the answer of the partner of the Raikage, it can be seen that he is inclined to accept the conditions proposed by Konoha.

At this time, Kumogakure can only cooperate with Konoha, otherwise, does it have to cooperate with Iwagakure?

Compared to the future and fate of the village, the personal emotions of the Raikage are nothing. Impersonating the hero does damage the prestige of the Raikage, but he doesn't think about it. Wouldn't it be a humiliation for the Second Hokage and Konoha to give up the record of killing Kinkaku and Ginkaku?

Everything must serve the general trend.

On the other side, the Konoha people who had rushed all the way to Kumogakure and had been negotiating non-stop for a whole day finally had a chance to rest. According to their request, Kumogakure arranged them in the same room.

When they were in Kumogakure, in order to prevent the other party from doing anything, the five people from Konoha needed to stay together all the time.

"Will Kumogakure accept our suggestion?" In the rest room, after confirming that Kumogakure had no surveillance equipment left, Homura asked.

"In any case, we hope they can make a decision quickly. The slower they are, the lower the value of our bargaining chips will be... three days, we will stay in Kumo for a maximum of three days. If they haven't made a decision by then, we will just seek an alliance agreement and then withdraw." Sansho said. As time goes by, Kumo will eventually quell the rebellion and gradually restore stability. By that time, bargaining chips like Kinkaku and Ginkaku will have no value at all.

Although the Raikage's attitude had softened somewhat at the end of the negotiations, no one could be sure what decision he would make in the end.

Therefore, Sansho only gave three days. In fact, this deadline was a bit too loose. If the Raikage did not agree to Konoha's conditions by tomorrow morning, then he would never agree.

On the other side of the room, Hanyu was explaining to Hatake Sakumo what Konoha's plan was. Since this day, the child found that he couldn't understand what the adults said. Battlefield deployment, war direction, future situation, etc., were not something he could understand after hearing a few words at his age.

Hanyu could only draw a simple map, pointing to the distribution of forces on it and explaining to Hatake the layout and strategy that Konoha was seeking.

Hatake Sakumo may be a natural born ninja, but his knowledge and insights into the general situation are only limited to his age. It was not until he saw the simple map showing the situation where the Kumogakure battle line half-surrounded the Land of Fire that he finally understood why they asked the Kumogakure to transfer the troops of the Land of Rice to the Land of Grass.

"Hanyu, you know a lot." After roughly understanding all this, and remembering that this strategy was first proposed by Hanyu, Hatake couldn't help but say so. It's not admiration, but at this time he finally realized that the rookie ninja in front of him was a little different.

Such a strategy, if not based on an understanding of the situation, would never have been possible to come up with overnight.

Normally, a hungry and cold homeless child would only count monkeys in the woods on an empty stomach. However, Hanyu was concerned about the world situation, not to mention that he could draw a world map at will.

"I do know a lot, but these are too stimulating for children. I will tell you when I have a chance." After telling Sakumo about Konoha's intentions, Hanyu walked to the corner of the room alone, sat cross-legged and began to refine his chakra.

After he felt that his chakra had been refined to a relatively full level, he formed the seal with his hands... Most water-style ninjutsu uses this seal as the last seal, so it can be said that it is the symbol of water-style ninjutsu.

After forming the seal, Hanyu's chakra began to transform into water attribute, and he seemed to be surrounded by a layer of mist.

Because of what Sansho had introduced the Hidden Cloud Ninja like before, now even if Kumo is unwilling, he must hurry up and improve his skills as a ninja... Although Sansho only mentioned it casually at the time and the Hidden Cloud Ninja just listened to it casually, Hanyu cannot be so optimistic and must prepare for the worst in everything.

Frankly speaking, if one can use water jutsu as a starting point, the Second Hokage is indeed a good goal to strive for... If Hanyu said this to others, he would definitely be accused of being arrogant. The Second Hokage was an extremely powerful ninja, but in his mind, the other party was just a "good" goal.

However, considering the people he compared himself to, his idea was not wrong. The Second Hokage was strong, but he was not as exaggerated as his brother or the later Konoha Genin.

If we put aside the forbidden techniques created by the Second Hokage and those unimaginably difficult space-time ninjutsu, the Second Hokage in a normal state is by no means an unattainable goal, although it is very far away for Hanyu.

Taking into account the chaos in the ninja world that Hanyu would live in, he needed to become a strong man even for the sake of self-protection; but considering his active period as a ninja, he did not need to be strong to the ceiling level... He was much older than the three ninjas, and by the time the Otsutsuky walked the world, he would have been very old, or even had turned into a pile of bones.

Uchiha dancing on the grave? White Zetsu's biological mother Otsutsuki? Those were not the problems that Hanyu had to consider and face. He only had to survive the three Ninja World Wars. The strongest enemy would not be stronger than the Third Raikage he met during the day... At least that was what Hanyu thought now.

So since he has become a ninja, the second-generation Hokage is a very good and suitable goal for Hanyu.

Although he seemed to be going with the flow these days, Hanyu had actually been thinking about his future life plan, and after this long march, he did not find himself in any discomfort with the ninja life, so it was time to make up his mind.

Next, all Hanyu has to do is move towards the powerful goal of becoming the Second Hokage.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Sansho who was still communicating with the other two. It was indeed as she had said before, there was a fate between him and her.

Now, Hanyu must cherish this fate even more.

Sansho is from the Senju clan, and her status in that clan is definitely not low. Therefore, if she is willing to teach ninjutsu, it will be a rare opportunity for an outsider like Hanyu.

At this moment, Hanyu finally confirmed that it was a very lucky thing for him to meet the last second generation Hokage and go to Konoha at the right time.

He should be full of gratitude to Senju Tobirama.
