Casually throwing the scroll with the signature of the highest level of Konoha to the side, Nangong Zhe looked at Mashiro and said with a solemn expression, "That's right.
"Don't worry! For the time being, we don't need to pay attention to such a mission scroll. It won't take long for Minato to come directly to apologize, and then put all the shit on the heads of the elders of Konoha. It's really interesting … If I wasn't the leader of a force like the Blood Clothing Pavilion and didn't know such little tricks, I'm sure I would've been toyed with in the palm of your hand. "
When Nangong Zhe spoke, there was no anger on his face. Instead, there was an inexplicable smile on his face. Such a smile looked like the smile of a person sitting in the audience watching an actor on the stage trying his best to perform a burlesque. Because of the actor's antics, he felt a mixture of contempt and IQ crushing smile.
When Mashiro saw the smile on Nangong Zhe's face, he knew that Nangong Zhe already knew what was going on, so he didn't say anything else.
Sure enough, after seeing that Nangong Zhe received the mission scroll but didn't have the reaction that Watergate and Shikaku expected, Watergate finally couldn't sit still. After all, the date of the Five Shadows Conference was getting closer and closer. It wasn't easy to get Nangong Zhe to be his follower, and he had also made a lot of arrangements. If he were to change the person at the last minute, it would be troublesome.
After all, Nangong Zhe is also an important part of Watergate and Shikaku's plan to show the power of Wood leaf Ninja Village.
"Please don't blame me for coming uninvited!"
After knocking on the door of Nangong Zhe's house, Nangong Zhe, as the head of the family, opened the door for Watergate who was standing at the door. After seeing Nangong Zhe, Watergate didn't have the slightest arrogance of a Hokage. Instead, he was very polite to Nangong Zhe and said.
"Hokage-sama is too polite. As the leader of Wood leaf Ninja Village, I'm flattered that you can take the time to come to the residence of an insignificant ninja like me. Don't just stand at the door, otherwise, wouldn't the Nangong family be laughed at for being rude, please come in! "
After making a gesture to Watergate, Nangong Zhe led Watergate into his house. Although the communication between the two seemed to be very polite and close, a sense of alienation and rejection was so obvious.
In fact, whether it was Watergate or Nangong Zhe, both of them knew that from the moment they met, they had already begun to plot against each other. But whether it was Watergate or Nangong Zhe, they didn't exclude this kind of behavior from each other. After all, whether it was Nangong Zhe or Watergate, both of them stood at the top of power. Although it doesn't sound good, in fact, it was a behavior that could never be avoided.
In order to get the benefits they want, everyone will, intentionally or unintentionally, calculate others or themselves. All of this is understandable. Nangong Zhe and Watergate walked into the living room together. At the same time, the two of them tacitly didn't mention anything related to the Five Shadow Summit. Instead, they began to chat about their daily lives.
From the situation at home to Naruto's performance these days, the two of them were waiting to see who could resist the desire in their hearts more. It turned out that Watergate was indeed slightly inferior. It wasn't that Watergate's temperament was much worse than Nangong Zhe's, it was just that the two of them faced different things.
For Nangong Zhe, the so-called Five Shadows Summit was indeed somewhat valuable. However, even if he didn't go, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find out what kind of agreement was reached in this summit with the help of the Blood Garment Pavilion's intelligence collection system.
But it was different for Watergate. During this period of time, various methods from large and small forces had been used openly and secretly. In fact, Watergate was already a little tired of dealing with them. The incidents caused by these people may not be a big deal, but each one was more troublesome than the previous one. As the Hokage, Watergate couldn't let his energy be tied up in these trivial nonsense. Watergate really needed a ninja like Nangong Zhe, who was beyond the ordinary Jounin level, to establish the scene of Wood Leaf being full of talents and masters.
Watergate couldn't help but look at Nangong Zhe, who was sitting opposite him with a calm expression. He didn't know why, but there was a feeling of humiliation in his heart. After all, Watergate, who was in a high position, actually had to beg others. This was unacceptable for the proud Watergate, but he had been forced by the current situation to lower his proud head.
"I came this time not only to chat with you, but also to apologize to you."
Hearing Watergate's words, Nangong Zhe's heart flashed a trace of understanding. The real show had just begun!
Although he already understood Watergate's meaning, Nangong Zhe couldn't show such emotions. After all, it was simply a direct slap to Watergate's face.
"I don't know why the Hokage came to apologize to a nobody like me. I don't think the Hokage has anything to apologize to me. "
Nangong Zhe was very respectful to Watergate, as if he really didn't understand why Watergate would apologize to him. Watergate knew that Nangong Zhe actually didn't care whether he was willing to apologize or not. What Nangong Zhe wanted to know was what price he was willing to pay. Watergate, who had the idea of getting something for nothing, what price could he offer to make Nangong Zhe move? In fact, Minato had already discussed the countermeasures with Shikaku Nara before coming here.
"According to the investigation of the Wood leaf Anbu, the original Root leader, Wood leaf traitor Shimura Danzo was in the Land of Iron a few days ago. The Land of Iron is the designated location for the Five Kage Summit. Although it's not completely certain what Shimura Danzo's intentions are, Shimura Danzo himself is a person who won't act until he sees a rabbit. There must be a reason for him to appear in the Land of Iron. "
Yes, Nangong Zhe may not care about anything, but for the Wood leaf traitor Shimura Danzo who destroyed his stable life and kidnapped his family, he must have great hostility. Once he hears Danzō's movements, Nangong Zhe will certainly not be able to maintain his current calm state of mind.
It has to be said that Shikaku Nara is really a genius.
