Chapter 374: The idea of ​​doing what I think is right to exchange prisoners

The Kingdom of Wind, the Oasis of Posuo

Since the battle ended a few days ago, Fujiwara Tetsuya, Hatake Sakumo and other Konoha ninjas basically stayed in the Posuo Oasis area. They did not take further action until they received the news that the Third Kazekage led his troops to withdraw.

"Tetsuya... you shouldn't reject the proposal of the Hokage and the top leaders."

"At present, handing over the One-tail Jinchuriki to the Anbu is the best choice."

In a building full of desert Gobi characteristics, Hatake Sakumo looked at Fujiwara Tetsuya with a calm face, and then looked at Uchiha Mikoto who was standing behind Fujiwara Tetsuya and silently rubbing Fujiwara Tetsuya's shoulders, and sighed helplessly.

Today's young people... play too many tricks.

"Senior Sakumo, do you think the plan proposed by the village leaders is really feasible?"

"I don't know what the Hokage-sama (they) are thinking?"

"They actually want to use the One-tail Jinchuriki as a bargaining chip to make the Sand Village surrender? They underestimate the Third Kazekage's ability...ambition."

The story will start two days later.As mentioned before, after Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utatane Koharu and other Konoha high-ranking officials discussed with a group of ninjas on the issue of sending support without any results.

At the suggestion of Utatane Koharu, this unconventional idea was proposed.

In the eyes of Fujiwara Tetsuya, this strategy is so low-end that it is a brain hemorrhage.

Not only will it give the Sand Village time to recuperate and regroup its strength, but... in the case that the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot go to the battlefield in person, no one can guarantee whether the Third Kazekage will change his mind at the last minute and take the opportunity to swallow up all the main combat forces stranded in the Wind Country.

"But, that is the village's decision after all, Tetsuya... Don't forget, we are ninjas, and obeying orders is the first rule of ninjas."

Hearing Fujiwara Tetsuya's accusation against the village high-ranking officials, Hatake Sakumo felt his eyelids twitching and subconsciously looked around... for fear that there were members of the Anbu monitoring nearby.

"Senior Sakumo, don't look at them. Those juniors of the Anbu don't have the courage to hang around in front of you..."

"Senior Sakumo, actually, regarding the handling of the One-Tail Jinchūriki, I have an idea. Instead of letting the village execute this unreliable strategy, it is better to meet with the Third Kazekage and use the blessings to exchange back all the companions captured in Konoha since the beginning of the war."

"I think their companions and families must be missing them."

Seeing that Hatake Sakumo was trapped in the confinement of the inherent rules, Fujiwara Tetsuya could only choose to change his mind... In any case, to prevent the village's top leaders from executing such a stupid plan, the support of Hatake Sakumo, the front-line commander, is indispensable.

"Exchange back... the captured companions?"

Hearing this, Hatake Sakumo's eyes were shocked, and his eyes looking at Fujiwara Tetsuya were indescribably complicated.

According to the past rules, usually only after the war is completely over, the enemy and us will consider exchanging prisoners.

Because of the wartime replacement, no one can guarantee that there will be no rebellion among the captives and become the enemy's spies.

In the long history of the ninja world, similar things have happened, but... several tragic histories have also made many ninja villages more cautious in similar matters.

"Tetsuya, do you know... what exactly do you want to do?"

"I know! So, I will apply for the Hokage to send the intelligence team to the front line of the Wind Country."

"Senior Sakumo, for all this, I will bear all the infamy, the infamy of violating the instructions of the high-level, the infamy of not trusting my companions... the infamy of forcing the intelligence board to explore those captured companions."

"Senior Sakumo, I need your support."

For a moment, Fujiwara Tetsuya was much more solemn. After moving Uchiha Mikoto's white hands away, he bowed heavily to Hatake Sakumo.

"Tetsuya, can you tell me why?"

Sensing Fujiwara Tetsuya's will, Hatake Sakumo smiled bitterly and didn't know how to refute.

"Among those captured companions, there should be quite a few little brats, right?"

"Since we can't avoid them from being involved in the war, we should at least try to find a way for them to survive..."

"However, if I really want to say it, Senior Sakumo... you should have noticed that I am a ninja who is not bound by the conservative ninja code..."

"Before I have enough strength, I will be tough, keep getting stronger, and become the strongest ninja. That is my ninja way."

"But now, I have a new idea, which is... to do what I think is right. That is my ninja way."

While speaking, Fujiwara Tetsuya subconsciously clenched Uchiha Mikoto's right hand, as if silently expressing something.

"Huh~ Tetsuya, your idea is dangerous..."

"But this time, I will stand on your side."

"You are right. Since we can't avoid them from being involved in the war, we should at least give them another chance to survive."

"You don't need to bear the bad reputation alone. I will stand with you and bear everything..."

"Really? I thought you would wave your hand and bear everything alone?"

Seeing Hatake Sakumo agree, Fujiwara Tetsuya couldn't help but smile a little... Hatake Sakumo was choking and couldn't say a word.

Let him bear everything alone...

Thinking of Sarutobi Hiruzen's stubborn attitude and the pretentious behavior of Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En, Hatake Sakumo shook his head silently.

He probably couldn't bear that kind of pressure by himself.

...

Konoha.

The news that Fujiwara Tetsuya refused to let the Anbu take over the One-Tail Jinchuriki, and the prisoner exchange proposal jointly drafted by Fujiwara Tetsuya and Hatake Sakumo, were delivered to Sarutobi Hiruzen almost one after another...

Smoke was everywhere, and after reading the proposals of Hatake Sakumo and Fujiwara Tetsuya, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.

"Huruzen, Sakumo and that brat are really too much. They dare to question the decision of the village?"

On the side, Utane Koharu clutched the intelligence scroll in her hand, her face full of anger.

The decision to hand over the One-Tail Jinchuriki to the Anbu to take him back to the village was made by the Konoha high-level officials.

How dare those two guys disobey?

"Xiaochun, calm down."

"Sakumo and Tetsuya are both heroes of the village. The Wind Country cannot do without them. We must carefully consider the opinion of the commander-in-chief on the front line."

To some extent, Hatake Sakumo and Fujiwara Tetsuya are both powerful ninjas from the Hokage faction, or close to the Hokage faction. Deep down, Sarutobi Hiruzen does not want Hatake Sakumo and Fujiwara Tetsuya to be in trouble because of some things.The two of them are alienated.

At least, it seems so now.

"Moreover, Sakumo and Tetsuya have already realized the situation... As the village leaders, what we should do now is not to oppose, but to support..."

"I will send the intelligence team to the Wind Country, Xiaochun... Let's put the previous plan aside for now."

"Sakumo and Tetsuya are right. Those little ghosts captured by the Sand Village... It's time to come back."
