Konoha's Camp.
Somewhere in the camp.
Maples, Shizune, and Kurenai were sitting in front of the bed, playing Landlord.
The meeting was too boring. He already killed Sandaime Raikage, and naturally, he was too lazy to discuss the follow-up plan to deal with the Cloud. He just said that he needed to rest after the war, and no one dared to force him to attend the meeting.
Landlord was taught to Shizune and Kurenai by Maples. Originally, if there were four people, they could have played Mahjong, but Tsunade went to the meeting, and Rin followed Minato to the battlefield of the Water Country, so they could only play Mahjong with three people for post-war entertainment.
Opening the Sixth Gate of the Hachimon Tonkou is still far away, and it's estimated that it will take at least a year. This progress may be faster for him to practice Sage Mode, after all, his Chakra has surpassed the average Jonin, and he's gradually approaching the bottom line of practicing Sage Mode.
"Three with one, that's it!"
Shizune threw the last card with a smile.
Maples stared at the card in his hand for a while, then silently put it down and said: "You did a good job, Shizune, I didn't even notice the mark you made … Kurenai, your observation and card skills have caught up with me."
"What?!"
Kurenai looked at Shizune in amazement and said: "Did Shizune make a mark on the card?"
Shizune's expression stiffened, and carefully looked at Maples and said: "When did you notice it?"
"Actually, I didn't notice it, it's just a feeling."
Feng Ye chuckled and said, "You don't seem to be confident. It's not hard to guess that you cheated."
Kurenai said with dissatisfaction: "I always felt like I was seen through."
"It's nothing, I didn't say that cheating is prohibited from the beginning." Maples smiled and said: "This is also a way to exercise ninja ability."
Just as Kurenai was about to say something, a figure suddenly came in from outside the camp, and the moment they saw him, Kurenai and Shizune stood up together.
Both of them immediately saluted each other.
"Hokage-sama!"
"Well, I came to see how Maples is recovering, you can go first."
Sarutobi said with a kind smile.
Kurenai and Shizune didn't dare to disobey, so they nodded and left the tent.
Maples sat on the bed and cleaned up the cards on the bed, then he said casually: "Hokage-Sama's Thanks for your concern, did something happen with the Cloud?"
"No, it's nothing."
Sarutobi shook his head and said: "The Cloud's condition for the peace talks is to hand you over to them, it seems like they don't want to talk about peace. The other party wants to continue fighting, even if the war continues, we can only continue to fight, in any case, it's impossible to hand over the hero."
The Cloud's conditions conditions conditions.
If it was someone else, they might be moved by Sarutobi's words, but Feng Ye heard something different.
First, he proposed the conditions for the peace talks, then he rejected it, and then he added the disadvantages of the war … Isn't this a subtle way to tell him that his sacrifice can bring an end to the war, and let Konoha and the Land of Fire get rid of the suffering of the war?
Due to his current strength and status, he could not be asked to make a sacrifice by anyone else. He could only be the one to bring it up.
This operation is really like the Hokage!
It's worthy of being the number one Shinobi Village in the Third Shinobi World War, it was able to 'develop' all the way to the Chunin Exam, where Orochimaru's invasion killed them.
You're probably a spy from the enemy village, day after day, you weren't called back, and you finally became the Hokage of Konoha!
Maples really wanted to take his Kusanagi sword and cut Sarutobi's head.
Do you think I'm a retard like everyone else?!
"If sacrificing myself can really bring peace, then I'm willing to be the bridge to build peace, but Hokage-Sama, do you really believe in the Cloud?"
Maples looked at Sarutobi lightly.
This question suddenly hit Sarutobi's heart, because it's impossible for him to not consider this point, he knew very well that the Cloud can't be trusted.
"You're right."
Sarutobi nodded and said: "The Cloud can't be trusted, so there's no need to think about this kind of thing, Konoha is confident and capable of winning this war."
Maples words made him clearly aware of the fact that the boy in front of him is no longer a ninja he can control.
Whether it's Danzo or Orochimaru, they're all under his control, but Maples relied on his strength and achievements to get out of his control.
In fact, he was conflicted. Feng Ye was no longer a ninja that he could control. For someone like him who had a strong desire for control, this was a danger that he could feel.
There are two choices he can make.
Either he can train Maples as the fourth or fifth Hokage, or he can suppress him from now on and try not to let Maples touch the power of Konoha.
In fact, Sarutobi preferred Minato, because he knew that Minato was a ninja who only wanted the development of Konoha, he didn't care about power and other things, so Minato was the most suitable Hokage.
Maples is Orochimaru's disciple.
He will definitely support Orochimaru as the Hokage.
And once Orochimaru succeeds as the fourth Hokage, then the fifth Hokage will basically be Maples, Sarutobi doesn't want Orochimaru to take over Konoha.
Right!
Sarutobi suddenly thought of one thing, that is, Maples' younger brother, Kakashi, is Minato's disciple, and he's also a good ninja!
If Minato is the successor of the fourth Hokage, and Kakashi is trained as the fifth Hokage, it will inevitably affect Maples' attitude!
As for when Kakashi succeeds as the Hokage, whether the power of Konoha will completely fall into the hands of Maples and Kakashi, there's no need to think too much about it.
Because that's at least twenty or thirty years later.
"Right, I'm going to let you go to the Rain Country." Sarutobi didn't mention the previous matter, but changed the topic.
"The Rain Country?"
Maples looked at Sarutobi strangely.
Sarutobi described the situation of the Earth Country, he mentioned that Hanzo the Salamander led the Rain Ninjas to attack Konoha, which made the situation worse.
"I didn't expect that Orochimaru-Sensei and Danzo-Sama would suffer."
Maples had a strange look on his face.
Could it be that Danzo had dug a hole for him?
If that's the case, then he can directly get rid of Danzo and pave the way for him to take over Konoha in the future, and he won't have to worry about Danzo all day long.
With his current strength, it's very difficult for him to deal with the people behind the scenes, but on the surface, he can clean up.
