Chapter 360 Where is the promised response?

"Namikaze Minato!"

Prince Ai's eyes were solemn, staring at Namikaze Minato not far away as if facing a formidable enemy.

On the battlefield of the Third Ninja War, Namikaze Minato made Prince Ai suffer a lot. On the one hand, Prince Ai's proud speed was completely crushed by the Flying Thunder God Technique.

On the other hand, the Muji Ninjutsu Rasengan developed by Namikaze Minato can indeed threaten Prince Ai to a certain extent.

There is still some gap between Prince Ai's current defensive ability and that of him during the Fourth War and the current Sandaime Raikage.

And Namikaze Minato was a very smart man. When he arrived on the battlefield, the first thing he did was to save people first, and then he attacked the strong enemy.

If you can't take down the opposing boss for a while, you will decisively shift your target to the opponent's elite monsters. After taking a few heads, you will immediately run away with others, never willing to fight.

"Are there any casualties?"

Namikaze Minato, who was wearing the robe of the Hokage God, asked Hinata and Hinata, this was what he was most concerned about.

"Thank you very much for your assistance."

Hinata Hiashi thanked Namikaze Minato first, and then replied: "We have just fought against the Kumogakure mission, and there have been no casualties yet."

It's good that there are no casualties.

Namikaze Minato asked again: "Where is Mr. Hizashi's son Neji? Have you confirmed that he is in that carriage?"

The Hyuga clan's ninjas must have found some evidence when they attacked the Kumogakure mission. And Kumogakure and his group kept the carriage firmly in the center, so they must be protecting something.

Namikaze Minato is a very smart person, he can roughly understand the situation at a glance.

"I've already confirmed it with my Byakugan, Neji is in the carriage." Hinata Hizu nodded.

Hyuga Hizashi saw the Hokage on the side and asked this question. He knew that the Hyuga clan's attack on the Kumogakure mission was a very big diplomatic issue.

He quickly bowed and apologized: "I'm very sorry, Hokage-sama. I was so eager to save my son that they took action rashly. My brother and the others had to fight against the Raikage candidates to protect me.

I am willing to take all responsibilities, I just ask you to save Ningji."

Many people always say "I am willing to take all responsibilities" and "I am responsible for what I have said", but they have not considered whether they are qualified and have the ability to take responsibility.

Hinata Hizashi is not. He is capable, aware and qualified to take responsibility.

Although he is a member of the Hyuga clan, he is after all an elite jounin of Konoha, a blood ninja, and the twin brother of the Hyuga clan leader. There are almost no responsibilities in the ninja world that he cannot offset by his death.

"Mr. Hizashi, what are you talking about?"

Namikaze Minato hurriedly helped Hinata Hizashi up and said solemnly: "Under the premise that Ningji has been confirmed to be in that carriage, it is reasonable for you to take action against the Kumogakure mission.

I am about to become a father, and I understand your eagerness to save your son.

In addition, Neji is in the carriage, and you did not violate any of Konoha's rules by taking action against the kidnappers from Hidden Cloud Village."

"Namikaze Minato, stop spitting on people."

Prince Aihe sneered and said: "The robbers who kidnapped Ningji are just your one-sided words and nothing.

The leader of the Hyuga clan led his tribe to attack the Kumogakure mission for no apparent reason. The Fourth Hokage who arrived later slandered the Kumogakure mission as kidnappers.

Now, there are two accounts to be settled between Kumoyin Village and Konoha.

If you don’t calculate it clearly, don’t blame us, Cloud Hidden Village, for launching another war against Konoha in order to maintain our reputation and authority.”

To start another war is a threat that few can withstand.

Although Namikaze Minato could withstand his status as the Fourth Hokage and was not afraid of Kumogakure, Minato, who was gentle and kind by nature, did not want to see Konoha being involved in a war again.

"It's just a minor friction."

Namikaze Minato said kindly: "More than a dozen armed conflicts occur at the border between Konoha and Kumogakure Village every month, and at one time there were casualties.

Mr. Hizashi and the others had a reason for attacking you, and because no ninja died on either side until the moment the call was made.

Compared with those armed conflicts, this was just a normal friction incident belonging to ninjas. The sparring between Konoha genin was more intense than this conflict.

Therefore, this conflict is far from rising to the level of starting a war.

If you feel that the Kumogakure Mission has been offended, then I am willing to apologize to you as the Fourth Hokage on behalf of Mr. Hizashi and the others."

He was so polite and courteous that he felt like a breath of fresh air, and the two Hinata brothers' favorable impression of Namikaze Minato suddenly improved.

To Hizashi, a branch jounin, he respectfully addresses him as "you", while to Prince Ai, a strong Kage level figure, the Raikage candidate directly addresses him as "you", which shows how friendly Namikaze Minato is to others.

"whispering sound."

Prince Ai frowned. Namikaze Minato's retreat made him really unable to find any reason to get angry.

"but……"

Namikaze Minato changed the subject and said generously: "All of this is based on the fact that the Kumogakure Village envoy is not a kidnapper.

If it is true that you kidnapped Mr. Hizashi's son Neji, then not only will I not apologize to you, but I will also hold your Kumogakure accountable on behalf of Konoha!

Ai, in order to prove your innocence, we need to check the carriage of that carriage.

Although you are the Kumogakure mission, this is the Land of Fire, the territory for which Konoha needs to be responsible. I have the right to ask you to open the carriage for us to inspect.

I am the Hokage, and the diplomatic immunity of your Hidden Cloud Village is of no use to me."

Everything depends on one's identity. Since the Hyuga clan was chased out privately, they were not qualified to inspect Kumogakure's carriage.

If they have obtained the authorization and appointment from the Hokage, then they are qualified to do this kind of thing. Although they will still encounter obstacles from Prince Ai, at least they will not be blamed.

"What if there is not the Neji you are talking about on the carriage?"

Prince Ai asked with a fearless face: "Will your Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, really sincerely apologize to you?"

Dogeza's apology can be simply understood as kneeling down with five limbs on the ground. In terms of the level of the act of apologizing, it is far higher than bowing, and it is not much different from apologizing to death.

Namikaze Minato:???

I just apologized. When did I say I wanted to sit down?

"How could Neji not be on the carriage?" Hinata Hizashi shouted sharply.

Prince Ai's "no fear on his face" and "Dogeza's apology", in the eyes of Hyuga Hizashi, are just a tough talk and a simple bluff.

"My Byakugan can clearly see that Neji is in the carriage." Hinata Hizashi said in a loud voice.

"Did you really look at it with your white eyes?"

Namikaze Minato tilted his head and asked in a low voice, "This is a matter involving Dogeza, so I have to be cautious."

"I've seen it, it's inside!" Hinata Hizashi said with great certainty.

"good."

Namikaze Minato chose to believe in Hinata and Hizashi, and turned to Prince Ellen and said: "If Neji is not inside, I would like to apologize to you.

Now, Ai, could you please open the carriage and let us check it out."

Prince Ai had a troubled look on his face, his eyes were cloudy and uncertain. After hesitating for a long time, he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to step aside and make way for Namikaze Minato and his party.

Hinata rushed over with three steps at a time, and opened the carriage curtain with one stroke.

Then I saw a woman in her late thirties, with a pretty face, breastfeeding a baby, all white.

The air was quiet.

"ah!!!!"

The woman screamed at the top of her throat, Hinata Hizashi hurriedly closed the car curtain again, and Namikaze Minato and others looked at each other.

"It's so busy outside, why are they still breastfeeding inside?" Minato Namikaze asked.

"snort."

Prince Ai snorted coldly and explained: "This carriage is a high-end item worth millions of taels.

In order to ensure comfort, we not only hired many skilled craftsmen to specially design the shock-absorbing system, but also asked sealing masters to install a barrier in the car that can isolate external noise."

You will die if you are too long-winded.

Namikaze Minato nodded slightly, that's it.

No... Even if Kumogakure wanted to protect Neji, there was no need to arrange such a high-end carriage.

In addition, Minato Namikaze had seen a similar carriage in the Land of Fire, and that carriage belonged to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Tens of seconds later, the woman in the carriage straightened her clothes, opened the curtain and asked Prince Ai with a sullen face: "Ai!

Why didn't you ring the bell in front of the carriage before opening the curtain?"

Namikaze Minato and others had already noticed something was wrong. This woman dared to question Prince Ai and called him by his first name. Her identity was probably not that simple.

Prince Ai bowed slightly and apologized: "Your Highness, the Hokage of Konoha suspected that we had kidnapped a baby from Kumo Hidden Village.

They suspected that His Highness was the baby and insisted on checking the inside and outside of the carriage, but I didn't have time to stop them."

Your Highness the Princess, Your Highness?

The bad feeling of Namikaze Minato and others became more and more intense.

"absurd!"
