Chapter 11 The Key to Changing Destiny Minato Namikaze asked him what he wanted? To be honest, Shiba Kiyokawa wanted too many things. The Rain Country is in turmoil and poverty, and there is a lack of everything here. Shiba Qinghe couldn't find a way to learn any ninjutsu above level B. However, reason also reminded him: After all, you can't stimulate the other party too much. If the talks really break down, it might turn into a scene like "I hit Watergate? Is that true?!" If he could have ignored everything, Shiba Kiyokawa would have killed Obito right at the beginning. It's a pity that he can't be killed. How to grasp the balance in between and how to gain the maximum benefit for himself without breaking off relations is also a difficult test for him. A large amount of information quickly flashed through his mind, and after careful consideration, Shiba Qinghe finally spoke.
"Mr. Namikaze Minato, since you said you are here to confirm the Rain Country's attitude, I also need your promise. I need you to draft a formal written statement, acknowledging the Rain Country's status as a neutral country in this Ninja World War, and promising that Konoha will notify the Rain Village in advance of any cross-border missions in the future. As long as you keep your promise, we, the Rain Ninja, will not be enemies with Konoha. But if you do not keep your promise and send ninjas into the Rain Country without notification, we will have the right to directly kill these Konoha ninjas. And if the killing is caused by this reason, the responsibility will not fall on us, the Rain Ninja." After careful consideration, Shiba Kiyokawa finally suppressed his inner greed and did not ask for risky advanced ninjutsu such as Flying Thunder God. Instead, he chose to ask Minato Namikaze for a statement. What they took advantage of was the fact that Konoha was in a difficult situation at the moment and did not want to go to war with the Rain Country, as well as Minato Namikaze's identity advantage which was very easy to exploit! Shiba Kiyokawa has not forgotten that in the destined ending, the two most crucial people who caused the destruction of him and the Akatsuki organization were Hanzo, the current leader of the Rain Country, and Danzo Shimura from the Konohagakure! This is why so many of his endings in the death predictions revealed by the system are related to Konoha! Therefore, what he is doing now is to ambush Danzo in advance! He did not expect that this statement could stop the Root from causing trouble, but with this statement, he could take the initiative and kill all the Root ninjas who entered the Rain Country without permission! And there is no need to worry about bringing trouble to the entire Konoha by secretly fighting with the Root. As for Konoha not recognizing him? Then let's talk about the identity of Minato Namikaze that he just pointed out - Minato Namikaze is now the candidate for the next Hokage who is unanimously favored by Konoha's top leaders except Danzo, and is also the most favored by Sarutobi Hiruzen! When Shiba Kiyokawa spreads this statement, he will definitely emphasize Namikaze Minato's identity! Maybe he could take the opportunity to sow discord between Danzo and other high-ranking officials of Konoha. Killing two birds with one stone! This is the key that can truly break the shackles of fate! For this, Shiba Kiyokawa was willing to give up an opportunity to blackmail ninjutsu. More importantly: this condition will not arouse Minato Namikaze's disgust at all, and can maximize the current safety of him and Konan. Minato Namikaze, who had no vision, obviously could not anticipate the impact of this statement. He even felt like heaving a sigh of relief. Now that Konoha is under attack from all sides, it has no intention of attacking the Rain Country. Recognizing the other party's neutral position will not harm Konoha's interests - at least that's what Minato judged. He couldn't have guessed that an elder in his village who loved to stir up trouble all over the world would be so angry about this statement that he would vomit blood in the future.
Minato now even felt that the other party was quite "easy to talk to". He explained apologetically, "My promise may not represent the final will of the village. Is it really okay for me to issue a statement in my personal name?" Shiba Qinghe affirmed, "I am very optimistic about your future, I believe you will definitely become the next Hokage! Just publish it in your name, this is my bet on you." When you are out and about, your identity can sometimes be completely given by yourself. When I was promoting you, I already knew you would be the next Hokage. So could that old thief Sarutobi really jump out and hit me? Moreover, based on Shiba Kiyokawa's judgment of Sarutobi Hiruzen's character, when the influence takes effect in the future, the Third Hokage will most likely choose to default. After all, for the sake of peace, the Hokage could even tolerate the kidnapping of the Hyuga clan's main princess by the Hidden Cloud Clan in Konoha Village. Now that the matter is done, he thinks there is a high probability that the Third Hokage will suffer a loss and accept the consequences! Namikaze Minato obviously couldn't guess these evil thoughts, and he even began to think that Shiba Kiyokawa was a good person. "Do you have paper? If not, I can ask my companions to provide you with white paper to write on." Shiba Kiyokawa said as he turned to look at Konan. Xiaonan obediently took off a piece of white paper from her body and handed it to him without saying a word. Namikaze Minato shook his head and said politely, "No need, I have a blank scroll with me." After confirming that Shiba Kiyokawa had no intention of blackmailing them, his attitude softened a lot. But Shiba Kiyokawa will not let down his guard and ignore the backup plan. Seeing the other party take out the scroll, Shiba Qinghe calmly handed the white paper back to Konan. But the moment Xiaonan took the paper back, his fingers paused slightly. The paper she handed to Shiba Kiyokawa was pure white. But now there is an extra line of small words on the paper that was returned: Immediately use the paper butterfly to notify Nagato to come to the border woods! Shiba Kiyokawa certainly knew that Namikaze Minato was a good man, but he couldn't possibly bet his entire life and fortune on the other person's kindness and goodness. The two sides are now at peace because Xiaonan still controls Lin. But once the hostages are released, they will have no ability to protect themselves in front of Minato Namikaze! Fourteen-year-old Konan couldn't be a match for the adult Minato, and neither could he. So we still have to ask for help. Then Minato Namikaze finished writing the scroll and threw it over. After receiving the message, Shiba Kiyokawa confirmed it and said, "Next, please follow us to the border. Once we confirm that you have left the border of the Rain Country, we will immediately release your companions." This was naturally a delaying tactic, in order to delay until Nagato arrived. It is not known whether the fourteen-year-old Nagato can stop Minato Namikaze, but at least he should be able to use the Rinnegan to intimidate the opponent. "Hey, you bastard, the teacher has already written the things according to your request, why don't you let Lin go immediately!?" It was obvious that it was Obito who said this, and Shiba Kiyokawa didn't bother to pay any attention. Giving him a look that said "I don't want to argue with a fool", Uchiha Obito was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. Minato Namikaze glanced at Konan standing beside him. He appeared calm on the surface, but he seemed to have guessed something in his heart.
"It seems that you have concerns as well. Well, let's do as you said and return to the border together now." At this moment, Kakashi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke. But what he said almost ignited a civil war, forcing Obito to jump up and duel with him on the spot. Kakashi asked, "Teacher, in that case, what about our mission?" "Asshole Kakashi, you're still thinking about the mission at this time?! Lin is still in the hands of that paper woman, you! You are simply a cold-blooded beast!" Seeing Kakashi's indifferent expression and Uchiha Osamu jumping up and down in a tacky manner, Shiba Qinghe couldn't help but laugh again. I didn't expect there would be such a good show. By this time he was no longer worried about Kakashi's obsession. Because he knew that the person who really called the shots here was Minato, and Minato had already agreed to their request. However, looking at Kakashi's current paranoid, awkward and unreasonable look, he really couldn't help but reveal the same smile as Kotomine Kirei. This is really - so much fun.
