Chapter 276 I have a suggestion
"Elder Danzo, the Root has no duty or right to hold prisoners without permission."
Orochimaru's snake eyes were calm as he slowly spoke to Danzo.
"Humph! There was one!"
Danzo gets furious when he mentions this. Orochimaru restricts this on the Root today, and restricts that on the Root tomorrow. What kind of feeling does it give people? It means that he restricts whatever he thinks of.
"Yes, but not anymore."
Orochimaru expressed his understanding of Danzo's anger, but it was useless.
"Even if the Root's prisoners' rights are restored, Elder Danzo, can you guarantee that you can convince Ai of the Kumogakure and Ohnoki of the Iwagakure?"
"..."
Identities are not equal.
Even though Danzo had enough experience, he was not the Hokage. If he dragged the other two Kage to a meeting while Orochimaru was still alive, he would be overstepping his authority. Orochimaru could either treat him lightly or directly eliminate him.
What's more, Danzo didn't know what Ai's situation was, but the old man Ohnoki, who was also an ambitious man, knew it too well. It was impossible for him to agree to send the prisoners abandoned by various ninja villages to Konoha.
In a sense, the existence of Ghost Lantern City is the same as that of the Iron Kingdom. Both are neutral forces. And unlike the Iron Kingdom which is located in a remote area, Ghost Lantern City is located at the junction of the three major countries.
This is also the reason why Ghost Lantern City can exist.
However, an organization that accepts prisoners from all sides and collects certain fees from each ninja village...was actually formed by a senior ninja from the small ninja village - Kusa Village, which has no real power.
Just rely on the mind?
Orochimaru saw that Danzo had stopped and did not chase him to kill him. He turned around and looked at the others.
"Everyone, tell me about it."
"Yondaime-sama, I think we should have enough information before making a decision."
Seeing that Danzo was silent, Shisui quickly spoke to Orochimaru.
"The appearance of the Ghost Lantern City was too sudden, which gave me a bad feeling. If I make a hasty decision... it might drag Konoha into a quagmire."
"Hey! Uchiha Shisui! This is Konoha, not Uchiha! Konoha is not so easy to be hostile to. We will let the enemy know how hard Konoha's fist is!"
Immediately, different voices were heard in the field.
Of course, this is obviously not directed at Gui Lantern City, but at Shisui.
At such a young age, Shisui became the captain of the Anbu's action team, and he didn't have to disguise himself or give up his name. How could people not be jealous?
"Um... I'm sorry, what I meant is that we are certainly strong enough, but there is no need to take the risk..."
"Enough is enough, Uchiha Shisui, the Yondaime is still sitting here!"
Those who criticize Shisui obviously want Shisui to lose points in front of Orochimaru, and use words to put Shisui on the opposite side of Orochimaru.
But Orochimaru just looked at the ridiculous dispute in front of him coldly without saying a word.
That man moved Shisui to the opposite side of himself, and also moved him to the opposite side of Shisui, but Shisui was the one he helped up personally.
"Ok."
Shisui didn't want to argue with the other party, so he looked at Orochimaru.
"Please think carefully about this, Yondaime-sama."
After these words were spoken, Shisui fell silent, and the Hokage's office fell into a brief silence again.
"Orochimaru."
Jiraiya suddenly interrupted.
"I think what Shisui said makes sense. If we don't get enough information on an organization that suddenly appeared, even the smallest one will stumble."
Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya who was deep in thought and raised his eyebrows, which was hidden under the Hokage hat and no one saw.
When did Jiraiya start to value intelligence so much? Did he start using his brain?
Looking at Tsunade, who had obviously shifted her attention to Jiraiya, Orochimaru immediately understood.
Okay, actually he didn't use his brain at all, he just agreed with Shisui's ideas, right?
"I second that. Intelligence is important, Orochimaru."
Hiruzen took a drag on his cigarette and added the following line.
Anyway, he doesn't care about things, he just goes by his feelings. As he gets old, he leaves the world to the young people.
As one of the three ninjas and Hiruzen spoke, the other ninjas began to offer their opinions.
Some people think that there is no need to pay too much attention to Ghost Lantern City. No matter how mysterious it is, it is an organization derived from Kusagakure, and Kusagakure... to put it bluntly, it is a strategic buffer zone, a ninja village that makes a living by picking up garbage on the battlefield.
Some people think that since the matter of Kizuna Castle was first brought up by the Iwagakure and Kumogakure, let the other two major ninja villages try it out to avoid increasing Konoha's consumption. Maybe the other two villages think so too?
It's too conspiratorial to think so, but it's not impossible.
There are all kinds of opinions, but most ninjas still think that it is necessary to explore the Ghost Lantern City.
Because the Land of Grass is on the border of the Land of Fire, and as the junction of the three major ninja villages, even if there is a pit, you have to step on it to see how deep it is. Once you are one step slower, the next step may create a gap.
The quarrel lasted for a whole hour before it slowly died down.
The ninjas finally looked at Orochimaru, waiting for his decision.
"Then let's investigate and make this mysterious organization emerge from the bottom of the water."
The corners of Orochimaru's mouth twitched slightly.
In just one hour in a small town like Ghost Lantern, Orochimaru was able to look at all the ninjas present.
Even though some of them are well disguised, Orochimaru has a pretty good grasp of the details of micro-expressions.
It is difficult to hide those unknown intentions in front of him.
"How to investigate, who will investigate?"
After saying that, Orochimaru leaned back in the Hokage chair again.
"Your Excellency, I have a suggestion."
Shikaku suddenly spoke up.
As the Hokage's assistant, he is fully qualified to sit here, but he should not speak when discussing matters, because he is the Hokage's assistant and represents the Hokage's opinion, and should not have his own opinions.
When he suddenly spoke at this moment, everyone else looked at Lu Jiu strangely.
Even Orochimaru was a little confused as to why Shikaku suddenly had this idea.
"explain."
"Let Biru go."
Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly everyone understood each other.
"That's right, Yondaime-sama, it's a good idea to call Hiruzen. Shikaku-sama is right!"
"I second your opinion, Yondaime-sama. Hiruko is the best choice."
Orochimaru suddenly wanted to laugh.
Almost instantly, he understood what Shikaku was thinking.
Today, Hiruhu is going to challenge Hyuga Hiashi. What about tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? It's conceivable that in a few days, Hiruhu will attack his Nara family.
Given Lu Jiu's temperament, he certainly wouldn't want to fight with Bei Liu Hu, but due to his position and Bei Liu Hu's temperament, he had to act out a scene with Bei Liu Hu where the enemy was strong and he was weak, and he got beaten up.
Just after Shikaku made the suggestion, most of the others who knew the whole story also reacted.
But that's not what Orochimaru found funny.
These people thought that sending Higurashi away for a while would prevent him from causing more trouble in Konoha, but they didn't realize that the matter regarding Hozuki Castle must be carried out after the Jinchūriki gave birth.
In other words, no one present could escape.
And if Obiruko wasn't in Konoha, wouldn't there be no trouble?
"Okay, then it's Beiliuhu. However, it will be difficult for Beiliuhu to carry out the mission alone."
