Chapter 150 Unity or Destruction?
"What's the meaning?"
"It means exactly what it says; these two really are the two Hokage."
The Souji calmly replied:
"I used a secret technique to travel to the underworld to meet with the two Hokage and invite them to the human world."
Do you think we're fools?
These words were so bizarre, even more outrageous than his novels, that Jiraiya dismissed them without a second thought, treating them as utter nonsense, and prepared to take action at any moment.
"teacher..."
Minato wanted to dissuade him, but he didn't know what to say.
On one side is the teacher, and on the other is someone who has been like an older brother to me for many years...
Minato is usually a very decisive person, but at this moment he seemed a little helpless and didn't know what to do.
Souji, however, acted as if he hadn't noticed Jiraiya's attitude and continued speaking calmly:
"I think you've come here because of my attack on Kumogakure, but neither the matter of Kumogakure nor the matter of the two Hokage can be explained in a few words."
"Actually, I came here to defeat the Cloud Village in order to end the war here so that you can return to Konoha."
"Go back to Konoha?"
Jiraiya countered.
"That's right, because there's something very important that you two must be present."
"..."
Jiraiya said in a deep voice:
"What you've been doing lately is really too suspicious.
You'd better explain yourself clearly first."
Both Hashirama and Tobirama cast questioning glances at Souji.
When Tobirama died in battle, Jiraiya and the other three Sannin were only a few years old and had not yet become Sarutobi's students.
Although they knew each other, they did not have much interaction.
Tobirama had a way to convince students like Sarutobi that he was the real person, but he had no way to prove himself to Jiraiya, whom he didn't know well.
The Souji shook his head slightly, then said to Minato:
"Minato, what do you think?"
"this..."
Minato hesitated slightly, then spoke earnestly:
"Of course I believe you, Souji-nii, but you have to explain things clearly to us, right?
How can we understand your thoughts if you don't explain them clearly?"
The Souji chuckled slightly and nodded:
"That makes sense, but I can't easily explain my thoughts."
"All I can say is that if you are willing to believe me, I can tell you very clearly that I have no ill intentions towards Konoha or anyone else.
What I have done recently is by no means a conspiracy or intended to harm Konoha."
"Lord Jiraiya, can you accept what I'm saying?"
"..."
Jiraiya looked at Souji with a serious expression.
After a long pause, he finally spoke:
"Let's just leave it at that for now..."
Jiraiya looked at Souji and Minato in turn, then at Hashirama and Tobirama, and finally sighed softly:
"I consider myself to have a good eye for people, and I already felt that you were someone I could trust...
Okay, I'll trust you this once!"
"Thank you very much, Jiraiya-sama," Souji said with a smile.
"So, once we return to Konoha, we'll explain everything, right?"
"Yes, but my situation is special, so I'll leave first and won't be going back with you."
The Souji waved slightly, and everyone returned to the back of the dragon, slowly rising into the sky.
Jiraiya and Minato watched silently until they flew out of sight.
In the end, Jiraiya sighed and spoke first:
"I've always thought I had a good eye for people, so I hope I'm not wrong this time."
Minato said with a firm expression:
"Teacher, I believe what Souji said. He has no ill intentions towards Konoha."
"Sometimes even without malicious intent, trouble can still arise...
Sigh! Never mind, they're gone, I won't say anything more! It's no use saying anything now!"
"Besides, the old man is the Hokage!
He's not too old to fight! I'm not going to be the Hokage anymore, so I can't be bothered with all that.
Let's deal with it when we get back to Konoha! Let the old man handle it himself!"
Jiraiya waved his hand, looking annoyed by the trouble.
Minato gave a wry smile, his gaze once again fixed on the direction where the Heavenly Dragon had flown away, which was in the direction of Konoha.
Putting aside the attack on Kumogakure, those two people who looked like the First and Second Hokage just now...
Souji said that they were the two Hokage, who used a secret technique to go to the underworld and bring them to the human world.
How could someone do something so absurd and bizarre, like something out of a dream...?
But Souji-nii never speaks carelessly, and there's no reason for him to make up such nonsense right now...
Minato is still quite concerned about this matter.
Having someone dress up like the First and Second Hokage would definitely provoke strong resentment from everyone in Konoha if there wasn't a legitimate reason for it.
Especially the Hokage, as the student of the Second Hokage, his respect for the First and Second Hokage far surpasses that of ordinary people.
Given Souji's style, he wouldn't do anything without a reason.
Could those two really be...?
Jiraiya and Minato, filled with doubts, returned to the Konoha camp and began to oversee the arrangements for their return to Konoha.
This battle initially started with Konoha and Kumogakure fighting, but Iwagakure joined the fray midway through.
Due to mutual wariness, the battle became a stalemate.
All three parties are looking for an opportunity to change the course of the war and get things moving again.
Before long, an opportunity did indeed arise.
However, this opportunity was somewhat beyond the expectations of all three parties.
After the Battle of Kirigakure, Mochizuki Souji, an elite Jonin of Konoha who had been missing for over a month after leaving the village, suddenly reappeared with his Heavenly Dragon summon and subordinates, heading straight for the Hidden Cloud Village's camp.
The Raikage personally confronted the surprise attack of Mochizuki Souji, and the result was...
The outcome was decided in a single blow.
This was merely the first blow in their exchange.
The Raikage is defeated!
Subsequently, under the command of Tsuchidai, a Jonin trusted by the Raikage, the Hidden Cloud Village decisively retreated.
Ultimately, at the cost of more than thirty Jonin's lives, they successfully stopped Mochizuki Souji from pursuing them.
After receiving a report from his subordinates, Tsuchikage Onoki immediately ordered the entire Iwagakure army to retreat and temporarily avoid the attack of Mochizuki Souji.
Although it was somewhat humiliating, Iwagakure did not suffer any losses in any way.
On the contrary, in the early stages of the war, they launched a surprise attack on the Land of Lightning by sea, causing considerable losses to Kumogakure, which can be considered a good result.
In the war in the Land of Rain, Iwagakure suffered heavy losses.
This time, they were able to weaken the strength of their old rival, Kumogakure, so the result is at least acceptable.
On the contrary, the medical ninja quickly made a judgment on the retreat of the Cloud Village.
Raikage is dead.
Following the Mizukage Yagura, even the Raikage A died from Mochizuki Souji's kunai.
They killed two of the Five Kage in succession!
The reputation of the Black Death Star Mochizuki Souji has once again shaken the entire ninja world after more than a month!
Killing two shadows in a row is simply too crazy. What exactly is Mochizuki Souji trying to do?
To unify the other four ninja villages, or to destroy them?
Was it the intention of Naruto Hiruzen Sarutobi, or was it the personal doing of Mochizuki Souji?
For the first time, the four great ninja villages truly experienced the strength of Konoha as the strongest ninja village.
Countless people felt extremely uneasy, speculating about the truth behind it all.
