Chapter 120: kinkaku and Ginkaku
The death of the Second Hokage and the division of the tailed beasts were the final straws that crushed Konoha. They forcefully dragged Konoha down from its position as the "father" of the Five Great Nations to that of a hegemonic power…
In Konoha's history, this was a period too painful to look back on.
"However, since I'm here now…"
Li Jiexuan grinned lightly. "History is bound to be rewritten!"
"Hey, Zhenying, what are you grinning at like an idiot for?"
Nearby, Moye curled his lips in displeasure. "Stop slacking off. You take the left, I'll take the right. They're about to arrive—every single one of these explosive tags has to be placed."
Li Jiexuan chuckled awkwardly and nodded. "Alright, alright…"
Ten minutes later, explosive tags were plastered beneath every table in the entire venue.
"Hahaha, Konoha choosing to form an alliance with us was definitely the right decision." The hearty laughter of the Second Raikage, A, was unmistakable…
Moye tugged Li Jiexuan aside as the doors to the conference room opened. Senju Tobirama and A strode in at the front, walking straight into the inner high-level meeting chamber.
"All honored guests from Konoha, please follow me…"
Just as Moye was about to call over the remaining chūnin and genin, Li Jiexuan took the initiative and rushed ahead of him.
"Come on, come on, this way—Konoha's ninja sit on the left." As guests following the host's arrangements, wherever Li Jiexuan pointed, the Konoha ninja naturally sat there.
"The remaining Cloud ninja can sit on the right," Moye said helplessly as he shook his head. "This Zhenying is still as sly as ever—always in such a hurry to grab credit…"
The entire conference room was covered in explosive tags, which meant these Cloud ninja were naturally not real Cloud ninja at all—they were reinforcements sent by the Land of Wind.
"Damn it, blow those dog—damn Sand ninja to pieces!" Moye sneered viciously. "They actually thought they could treat Big Brother kinkaku and Ginkaku like fools."
At that moment, kinkaku and Ginkaku also walked in.
Just like in the anime, the two of them had the characters for gold and silver tattooed on their arms. Beneath their long golden and silver hair were faces as savage as wild beasts.
The Sage of Six Paths' ninja tools were carried on their backs, never leaving their persons…
"How's everything going, Moye?" Ginkaku asked coldly, staring at Moye and Li Jiexuan.
"Everything is ready!"
Moye nodded excitedly. Only then did a trace of a smile appear on Ginkaku's face as he waved his hand with a feral grin. "In that case, you might as well come in and listen along."
"Yes, Lord Ginkaku!"
Moye followed closely behind Ginkaku. This room was already filled with explosive tags, so Ginkaku naturally wouldn't leave his own people here to get blown up.
Li Jiexuan lowered his head and followed behind Moye, while Hyuga Yizhen and Yamada Xunzhen obediently trailed behind Li Jiexuan.
kinkaku frowned slightly, but in the end, he still didn't say anything…
Although bringing such low-class warriors into a high-level meeting was somewhat inappropriate, none of that really mattered anymore, did it?
Holding the Amber Purifying Jar, kinkaku walked into the conference room with a light smile. As he slid open the paper door, the entrance of kinkaku and Ginkaku caused a slight stir.
"Lord kinkaku! Lord Ginkaku!"
The lower-ranking ninja all nodded and greeted the two of them, but Raikage A frowned. "kinkaku, why are you still carrying weapons at a time like this?"
Hearing that, kinkaku grinned. "This isn't a weapon—it's a relic of the Sage of Six Paths…"
"Hmph!"
The Fourth Raikage beside A let out an unhappy snort. The Raikage faction and kinkaku and Ginkaku had long been openly at odds.
"Enough. Let's continue discussing the alliance."
The Second Raikage could only change the subject. Fighting among themselves in front of guests would be far too embarrassing.
"Heh heh…"
kinkaku quietly took a seat behind Senju Tobirama while holding the gourd, while Ginkaku, holding the Seven-Star Sword, silently sat behind the Second Raikage.
Li Jiexuan couldn't help but curl his lips.
"Isn't this intention a bit too obvious?"
What made it awkward was that both the Second Raikage and Senju Tobirama were busy discussing alliance matters. On top of being in the Cloud ninja's home territory, their vigilance had unconsciously dropped, and for a moment, they failed to notice the abnormal behavior of kinkaku and Ginkaku.
Just as it looked like the two of them were about to make their move, Li Jiexuan finally couldn't hold back any longer. He stood up boldly, holding a fruit platter, and casually stepped in front of kinkaku as if he were just watching a show…
