Chapter 120 The Hidden Clouds, Whose Intentions Are Not Good

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sat in the main seat, not holding a pipe, but clutching an urgent diplomatic document stamped with the seals of the Land of Lightning and the Hidden Cloud Village. His brow was furrowed, and deep wrinkles on his forehead revealed worry.

Opposite him were Police Chief Fugaku Uchiha, Special Advisor Minato Namikaze, and Toru Nishikawa, who was playing with a pen.

"Just now, a message came back from the border post."

Hiruzen Sarutobi broke the silence by pushing the document to the center of the table.

"The delegation from Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning has crossed the border into the Land of Fire and is heading towards Konoha at full speed. The leader is A, the son of the Third Raikage, who says he is here in a spirit of friendship to learn about and observe new technologies in Konoha."

"An envoy delegation?"

Fugaku Uchiha sneered, picked up the document, glanced at it, and his eyes instantly sharpened.

"Coming uninvited? What kind of friendliness is this? This is clearly a demonstration."

"It's not just a demonstration."

Nishikawa Tetsu reached out and took the document, his gaze lingering for a moment on the line about technical exchange, before he adjusted his glasses.

"Their objective is clear, Hokage. They're after Konoha's new equipment—the Railgun."

The Third Hokage nodded and sighed.

"The Heian Corporation's actions on the trade route, while demonstrating Konoha's power, also exposed this weapon. The Cloud Village people revere force, and they can't possibly remain unmoved by a weapon that can unleash high-intensity lightning release without hand seals."

"Hmph, just as I thought, they're hyenas that come because they smell it."

From a shadowy corner of the conference room, Shimura Danzo, who had remained silent until now, emerged leaning on his cane.

A sinister light flashed in his single eye, but this time, his anger was not directed at Kumogaku, but at Uchiha Fugaku.

"Hiruzen, I've said it before: it was a mistake to let the Uchiha wield this power! Even more wrong was letting them run a security company and flaunt it everywhere!"

Danzo slammed his cane heavily on the ground, the sound chilling:

"Weapons are meant to be concealed in the shadows to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy, not to be displayed like monkeys for profit! Now look what's happened—the technology has been exposed, letting the wolf into the house. If Kumogakure uses this as an excuse to wage war, can your Uchiha clan bear the responsibility?!"

Faced with Danzo's accusations, Fugaku's face darkened, and he was about to retort.

"Lord Danzo, hiding things is what Root does, not what Konoha does."

Nishikawa Tetsu spoke first, his tone calm yet sharp:

"The reason why deterrence is called deterrence is that it needs to be shown to others. If we don't flex our muscles, Kumogakure will only think that Konoha is weak and easy to bully, instead of the way it is now, where even if they are tempted, they don't dare to take direct action and can only use the guise of communication to test the waters."

"That's just sophistry!" Danzo sneered. "Now they've come knocking on our door, specifically asking for technology exchange. If we don't give it to them, it'll be a diplomatic dispute; if we do, it'll be aiding the enemy. You've put the village in a very difficult position!"

"Give it? Why should we give it?"

Danzo narrowed his eyes, exuding a strong hawkish aura:

"Not a single piece of Konoha's technology can be leaked! My suggestion is that Root take over the safekeeping of these weapons, declare them to be forbidden experimental techniques, and refuse to display or exchange them! If Kumogakure dares to act recklessly, then let them taste my methods!"

"And then what? Send them back, and then fight the Third Shinobi World War on the border?"

The Third Hokage tapped the table, stopping Danzo's radical remarks.

"Danzo, the village has just recovered and its finances have improved, but no one can withstand another war. We cannot show weakness, but we also cannot provoke a war."

The third generation looked at Fugaku and Nishikawa Tetsu, his eyes carrying a hint of testing:

"I've assigned this reception task to the police department."

"Since you're the ones who made this mess, you're the ones who have to clean it up. You need to uphold the technical bottom line and never leak any secrets; you also need to shut up the Cloud Village so they have no reason to retaliate."

"This old man is a master at shifting blame," Nishikawa Tetsu thought to himself.

But he didn't refuse; instead, a playful smile appeared on his lips.

"Since it's a technical exchange, we should naturally treat you well."

Nishikawa Tetsu stood up, walked to the whiteboard, picked up a pen, and drew a circle.

"Ai is a hot-tempered man who worships strength, but he's also shrewd despite his rough exterior. It's useless to reason with him when you're weaker than him; it's just a waste of breath."

"Since he wants to see our technology, then we'll show it to him—show him what we want him to see."

"I will instruct the research institute to take out that batch of first-generation obsolete prototypes that were originally intended for destruction, polish their appearance, and make them as complex as possible."

"We want them to know that Konoha is a village that values ​​peace, and that Konoha's technology is used to improve lives. As for weapons? Oh, those are just engineering machines we use for quarrying; they're too weak and have long been obsolete."

"Fooling me?" Danzo sneered disdainfully. "You think the future Raikage is a fool?"

"Of course he's not stupid, so he doesn't believe it."

Nishikawa Tetsu turned around, his gaze falling on Minato, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"When he realized we were fooling him with our techniques, there was nothing he could do. At most, he could only suggest a real sparring match, trying to test Konoha's strength with his fists."

"This is where we need to show our true strength."

Nishikawa Tetsu walked up to Minato and patted his best friend on the shoulder.

"Minato, you might have a tough time this time."

"A is very strong, extremely fast, and has terrifying strength. Moreover, as the son of the Third Raikage, he must also know his secret technique, Lightning Release Chakra Mode."

"If we defeat A, we'll show him just how strong Konoha's new generation is..."

Nishikawa Tetsu smiled and said, "That's more effective than any negotiation technique. Let him know that even without the electromagnetic cannon, Konoha can still crush them. Once we defeat him, we can sit down and have a proper talk."

Minato paused for a moment, then revealed a confident smile.

"It sounds like a lot of pressure, but if it's for the village... I'm willing to give it a try."

He clenched his fists, and a fighting spirit ignited in his azure eyes.

"Furthermore, Che was attacked by Kumogakure in the Land of Hot Springs before, and we need to settle that score with them!"

"How about I handle this?" Fugaku was a little worried about Minato. His little brother was still young and might get hurt if he encountered A. But he himself was different. With his Mangekyou Sharingan, he wasn't afraid of such a brute. He'd break through Susanoo's defense first.

Minato felt a warmth in his heart, knowing that Fugaku was concerned about him. He shook his head and said, "It's alright, senpai. I've been learning from Mito-sama recently and have benefited a lot."

"Yes, senior, trust Minato. You know Minato's strength."

Fugaku thought about it and agreed; even he wasn't confident he could defeat Minato now.

To master the second generation's forbidden technique in such a short time, this kid is a freak.

"OK."

Fugaku stood up, straightened his police uniform collar, and his dark eyes seemed to burn with flames.

"Now that the guests are on their way, let's mobilize the entire police department."

"Whether they're spies trying to steal technology or reckless troublemakers."

"Since we've come to Konoha, we must abide by Konoha's rules."

Fugaku looked at Danzo and said in a firm tone, "Lord Danzo, just you wait and see. The police department not only makes money, but also protects the dignity of Konoha."

Danzo snorted coldly, turned and disappeared into the shadows, but did not object again.

As long as he doesn't give them the technology, and it can still dampen the arrogance of the Cloud Hidden Sect, he wouldn't mind letting the police department be the one to take the lead.

The third generation looked at the three spirited young men, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, and then waved his hand.

"Go, but don't disgrace Konoha."

……

Stepping out of the Hokage Building, a wave of heat hits you.

Nishikawa Tetsu narrowed his eyes, looking at the distant sky.

"The dark clouds of the Land of Lightning are about to drift over."

He took a small bottle out of his pocket and handed it to Minato.

"What is this?" Minato asked, taking the item.

"A specially formulated conductive gel, generously sponsored by the Science Research Institute."

Nishikawa Tetsu chuckled mischievously, "While I trust your speed, our small frame is still at a disadvantage in terms of strength against Ai. This thing can give his Lightning Release armor a boost."

"Science is also a part of strength."

Minato looked at the small bottle in his hand and smiled helplessly.

"Minato, you need to understand that the difference between humans and animals is that humans are able to create and use complex tools."
