Chapter 158: Removing the Fuel From the Bottom of the Pot

Namikaze Minato hurried back to Konoha and temporarily stopped Danzo's plan to extract the two-tailed beast. Currently, only a few high-level people know about it. Google search reading

So among the people present, only Uchiha Fugaku was confused after hearing about the handling of the tailed beast.

Perhaps he himself had such a thought: Is this a secret that the head of the Uchiha clan can access? It's too inconsiderate...

But Shimura Danzo couldn't care too much at this time. Perhaps for him, today, he could hit the prestige of the fourth generation in front of more people and deny his ability as a Hokage. This occasion is the most appropriate.

Facing Danzo's aggressiveness, Namikaze Minato was calm and composed.

Then he smiled and asked back: "Does this need to be explained?

Of course, it's because the value of this Konoha Anbu ninja is higher than the two-tailed Jinchuriki of Kumogakure..."

As soon as the voice fell, it immediately caused an uproar.

The value of an Anbu ninja is higher than the two-tailed Jinchuriki? Almost everyone immediately suspected whether they had hallucinations.

If it weren't for the fact that this statement was indeed made by the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Mizumon, anyone would think it was crazy talk. You know, in most cases, let alone the village elites such as the ANBU Jonin, even the value of the Kage himself cannot be measured together with the village's ultimate weapon, the tailed beast and the Jinchūriki.

After all, no matter how strong the Kage is, there is a life limit, and it is impossible for him to exist forever as the village's fighting force.

The ultimate weapon, the tailed beast, is different. The tailed beast has eternal life and can exist forever relying on the Jinchūriki. As strong as the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was when he distributed the tailed beasts, he still left a nine-tailed beast for the village. Why did the Fourth Hokage think that the value of an ANBU could be equal to a tailed beast?

"...Hehe, Fourth Generation, did I hear you right?"

Shimura Danzo was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He immediately laughed sarcastically, "You just said that the value of an Anbu is higher than the two-tail?"

"Fourth Generation, if you are joking, you should know the occasion..." Mitomon En adjusted his glasses, looking a little unhappy.

"If you are serious, then it is hard for us not to suspect that this decision contains a component of favoritism." In comparison, Utatane Koharu seemed to be more ruthless and directly questioned Minato Namikaze.

Seeing that his best disciple, Minato Namikaze, became the target of public criticism, Jiraiya was also very anxious.

He couldn't help but say, "Minato is impossible to be partial. Let's ask the Fourth Generation to express his considerations and judgments first, and then discuss it..."

After that, he hurriedly looked at Minato Namikaze.

And the latter, although his face was calm at this time, he felt a little ashamed in his heart.

Sorry, Jiraiya-sensei, this time I really proposed the prisoner exchange because of a little personal affection...

But despite this, Namikaze Minato had already found a very legitimate reason.

Then he began to explain with a very calm face: "In this case, then I will explain it seriously..."

"In fact, this Anbu ninja was sent by me to spy on the important and highly confidential mission of Kumogakure, and the reason why I want to exchange prisoners is because she has obtained the important secrets of Kumogakure Village about cultivating perfect Jinchūriki. If she can be exchanged back, then Konoha will also obtain this method..."

"The method of cultivating perfect Jinchūriki?!" Mitomon En was shocked.

"This... This is indeed extremely important intelligence..." Utatane Koharu suddenly realized.

Only Danzo and the two consultants immediately understood Namikaze Minato's explanation.

Because only the three of them and Namikaze Minato knew the results of the interrogation of Yukito. From the information obtained by Yamanaka Inoichi's special means, they learned that there is indeed an island on the sea in Kumogakure Village, and there is a place inside it where Jinchūriki can be trained. Moreover, the so-called perfect Jinchūriki is completed through special training here.

Once you become a perfect Jinchūriki, you can completely control the power of the tailed beasts.

Although Konoha does not pay much attention to developing the power of the tailed beasts, now that it knows that the hostile Kumogakure has such means, Konoha can no longer turn a blind eye and be willing to fall behind.

Therefore, the prisoner exchange proposed by Minato Namikaze is actually no longer a simple exchange of two ninjas, but an exchange of information about the two-tailed tailed beasts and the method of cultivating perfect Jinchūriki...

As for whether Nono really got the information about Kame Island and the inside? Of course not...

This is actually just an excuse made by Minato Namikaze.

Even so, as a time traveler, Minato Namikaze knows exactly how Kumogakure trains Jinchūriki and how to cultivate perfect Jinchūriki, so now he said that Nono had already obtained this information, and there is no flaw.

At worst, when Nono is exchanged back, it will be colluded...

Shimura Danzo did not expect that Minato Namikaze could give such a reasonable explanation for this matter.

Unwilling to give up, he objected again: "I don't think it's necessary!"

"The Two-Tails Jinchuriki is in our hands. As long as we spend time, it won't be a problem to pry out all the confidential information of Kumogakure."

However, after hearing this, Minato Namikaze was full of disdain in his heart, and asked mercilessly: "So, in your Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragons, there is a ninja who can defeat the captain of Konoha Intelligence, Yamanaka Inoichi, right?"

This questioning immediately made Danzo's face darken, and he had no way to refute it.

Because before Minato Namikaze returned to the village, Danzo had intervened in the interrogation with selfish motives, but all his Root talents were unsuccessful in getting any information from Yukito. In the end, it was Yamanaka Inoichi who made a move and got a little bit of harvest.

It was a pity that because of the existence and interference of the two tails in Yukito's body, even Yamanaka Inoichi was unable to completely pry out all the information from her. Otherwise, there would be no need for prisoner exchange...

After Mitomon En and Utatane Koharu looked at each other, they quickly exchanged opinions, then turned to look at Minato Namikaze, and finally expressed his approval: "In this case, prisoner exchange is indeed worth considering..."

Minato Namikaze nodded, but then suddenly changed his tone and cast his eyes on Danzo Shimura, saying meaningfully: "I have already explained the prisoner exchange.

But now there is another matter, I also want to ask the director of the Root, Danzo Shimura, to explain it..."

After that, Minato Namikaze suddenly shouted: "Kakashi!!"

Before he finished speaking, a puff of smoke rose above the open space next to the long table in the conference room, and then before the fog dissipated, two figures inside appeared.

One of them was slightly shorter, with silver hair, wearing a fox mask, and dressed in Anbu costume.

Next to him was an adult man tied up and kneeling on the ground. Although his attire was similar to that of the ANBU, the oil-painted mask he wore showed that he was not a member of the ANBU, but seemed to be affiliated with the Root...

Because the masks of the ANBU were all animal-shaped, only the Root would have such oil-painted masks.
