127 Chapter 127

Konoha's front camp.

Inside some kind of tent.

Erase, Kurenai and Shizune was sitting on the bed playing cards.

After killing the Third Raikage, Yeruashi was too lazy to go to the meeting and discuss the strategy of further fighting with Kumo, so he just said that he needed to rest after a hard battle, no one dared to object and try to force him to go to the meeting.

If there were four people, they could play Manjong, but Tsunade left for the meeting and Rin followed Minato to the Kirigakure battlefield, so they could only play poker for three.

Since the opening of the sixth gate will take more than a year, it may be time to pay attention to the Sage Mode, because now his chakra volume has gone beyond the Jounin level and is gradually approaching the minimum level required to practice the Sage Mode.

"Hehe, seth!"

Shizune grinned and opened her cards.

Erase looked at the cards, put them aside and said: "You've settled in pretty well. Shizune, those marks you left on the maps, even I didn't notice them right away...Kurenai, you count cards as well as I do."

"What?!"

Kurenai looked at Shizune in a daze, " Shizune, did you mark the cards?!"

Shizune stiffened and looked piercingly at Erase: "How did you figure that out?"

"I didn't actually find the marks themselves, it was just a guess..."

Yeruashi smiled, " Watching your behavior, I immediately noticed some oddities, it wasn't hard to jump to the conclusion that you were cheating."

Kurenai grumbled in displeasure: "Ah, that's why, as the game progressed, there was always a strange feeling that I was being seen through."

"It's okay, no one said that cheating is prohibited."

Erase said quietly: "It's not a bad way to train a shinobi."

Just as Kurenai was about to say something, a figure entered the tent.

Seeing the newcomer, Shizune and Kurenai abruptly stood up, turned around and greeted him.

"Lord Hokage!"

"I came to know about the recovery process of Erase you can go."

Hiruzen smiled pleasantly.

Kurenai and Shizune immediately left the tent, not daring to disobey the Hokage.

Erase sitting on the bed, gathered the cards in the deck and quietly said, "Thank you Lord Hokage for your concern, what about Kumo?"

"Ah, the situation hasn't improved..."

Hiruzen shook his head, " The Raikage agrees to negotiate, but on one condition...he demands to hand you over. It seems that peace talks are impossible, Kumo will fight to the last...."

Then he sighed heavily and said confidently, " Ah, even if this terrible war continues and the number of casualties only increases, we can only fight with all our might, because we will never sacrifice our hero!"

It may be in the place of Erase someone else, he would have been moved by the words of Hiruzen, but Erase saw everything in a completely different light.

At first, he voiced Kumo's demands and said that peace talks were impossible, and then focused on the sacrifices that the continuation of the war would bring....encountering Erase the idea that his sacrifice can save Konoha and the Fire nation from the misery of war.

Given Yeruashi's current strength and status, other people can't force him to sacrifice himself, only he can make such a decision.

And this old man is really "good"...

The most powerful village, which successfully held off the onslaught of all the other Great Villages, during the Second and Third World Wars of the Shinobi, later experienced "incredible growth" and was almost destroyed by one of the Sannins.

Old man, aren't you a spy of the enemy village? Perhaps you were not recalled from the mission for so long that you ended up becoming a Hokage?!

Erase felt an irresistible desire to expose the Blade of Kusanagi, and otheract this old man right here.

Hiruzen, have you really fallen into senility, since you dare to speak such incoherent nonsense?!

"Ah, if the sacrifice of one person can bring prosperity to many, then I am willing to become a bridge to peace, but Lord Hokage, can you trust Kumo?"

The selfless erase said and looked into the eyes of Hiruzen.

These words hit the weakest point of the situation and unconditionally stopped all intentions of Hiruzen, he himself is well aware that Kumo can not be trusted, this argument can not be refuted.

"You're right."

Hiruzen nodded, " Kumo can't be trusted, so you shouldn't even consider such an offer, I'm sure Konoha can win this war anyway."

These words of Erase also allowed Hiruzen clearly realize that it is not able to control this young shinobi.

The Shinobi closely associated with the shadow side of Konoha, whether Danzo or Orochimaru, are under his control, but Yeruashi, relying solely on his personal strength and military merit, is beyond his control.

At this moment, he was experiencing very conflicting emotions.

The emergence of such a powerful Shinobi, which is beyond his control, made Hiruzen, who seeks to keep everything under personal control, feel a strong threat.

Now he has two options.

Either raise Yeruashi as the future Fifth or Fourth Hokage, or try to immediately remove him from the upper layers of Konoha as much as possible.

But Hiruzen is more inclined to the candidacy of Minato, because he only seeks the well-being of Konoha, not caring about power and power, it is such a person who is best suited to become the next Hokage.

And Erase is a disciple of Orochimaru, so be sure to support the candidacy of the teacher.

Once Orochimaru became the Fourth Hokage, making Yeruashi the Fifth Hokage would be practically a done deal, but Hiruzen didn't really want to see someone like Orochimaru as Hokage.

Precisely!

Hiruzen suddenly came to a thought, he remembered the brother of Erwache! Kakashi is a great shinobi and Minato's disciple!

If Minato becomes the Fourth Hokage, and Kakashi will be brought up as the Fifth Hokage, this will inevitably affect the position and attitude of Erwache!

As for the moment when Kakashi really becomes Hokage and Konoha is in the hands of the two brothers, Hiruzen didn't even think about it.

Because it won't happen until decades later.

"By the way, I'm going to send you to Rain Country."

Hiruzen decided not to return to Kumo's question and changed the subject.

"The Country Of Rain?"

Erase looked at the Hokage.

Hiruzen described the situation on the Earth Country front, saying that the Ame, led by Hanzo, attacked Konoha, teaming up with Willow, which led to a sharp deterioration of the situation.

"I didn't expect Teacher Orochimaru and Senior Danzo to get into such a difficult situation."

In the depths of the eyes of Erase light flashed on.

Had Danzo dug a hole for him??

Heh-heh...

If this is indeed the case, there may be a good chance to eliminate Danzo without consequences and lay the foundation for further capture of Konoha. Erase had no desire for years to follow Danzo, waiting for the stab in the back.

With his current strength, it is still quite difficult for him to participate in the behind-the-scenes affairs of the shinobi world, but everything else can be solved without much trouble.
