Chapter 317

"This is perfect!"

Xuan Wo Changmen nodded expressionlessly, "I still say what I said before! Tobi's death is the foundation of our cooperation."

Bo Feng Shuimen turned his head, gazing at Jiraiya with a hint of awkwardness.

"Teacher Jiraiya, I'll entertain the guild master first! Handle the rest."

Jiraiya's eyebrow twitched, looking at Bo Feng Shuimen helplessly.

"Water Gate, since I came back, I've spent every day suppressing Tobi politically for you! Or... handling all your dirty, exhausting tasks."

"Can't you let me have two peaceful days?"

In response, Bo Feng Shuimen's smile grew even more awkward.

He had no way to refute Jiraiya's words.

Yet in the end, Jiraiya let out a long sigh and said nothing more, turning away and vanishing at high speed.

Jiraiya's departure was naturally to help Bo Feng Shuimen explain things to the Third Hokage, and to suppress Tobi.

Don't let him have the energy to disrupt this Gonghuiju Society gathering.

Jiraiya, who had once been to the One Piece world, clearly understood the scale of this meeting.

Without exaggeration, the power and status of those attending this meeting were no lower than those of the Five Kage Summit.

Under Bo Feng Shuimen's hospitality, large portions of Ichiraku Ramen were quickly brought out.

Bai Hu Zi grabbed a large bowl and swallowed the entire ramen, broth and all, in one gulp.

Bai Hu Zi smacked his lips.

Although Handa's Ichiraku Ramen was always served in the largest bowls, to Bai Hu Zi, these... bowls were no different from small ones.

He let out a boisterous laugh.

"Oh la la la la, Xuan Wo Changmen, according to your information, how long until Uchiha Obito arrives?"

Xuan Wo Changmen's expression was cold; he ate his noodles slowly, paused after hearing Bai Hu Zi's question, then answered softly.

"Within the next couple of days! Anyway... Uchiha Obito has already left the Rain Village."

Then Xuan Wo Changmen turned to Bo Feng Shuimen, his gaze flickering slightly, voice hoarse.

"What I'm actually curious about now is whether Uchiha Tian has already returned to Konoha."

"He's back!"

Bo Feng Shuimen gave a slight nod, his eyes filled with heaviness.

"Three hours before your arrival, he returned."

Had Bo Feng Shuimen not known Uchiha Tian's true identity, he might not have paid attention.

But once he truly focused, and used his Hokage authority to investigate, nothing Uchiha Tian did within Konoha could escape his notice.

Xuan Wo Changmen often mocked Bo Feng Shuimen, saying that though he was nominally the Fourth Hokage, he was in fact completely sidelined by the Third and several old men from the Zhanglao Society.

But the real situation was that while Bo Feng Shuimen had indeed had part of his power divided by Zhanglao Society members, it didn't mean he had no power at all.

Or rather, his power was merely slightly less than that of previous Hokage—absolutely not to be underestimated.

Moreover, as long as he lived, his power would only grow over time.

This was the symbol and meaning inherent to the Hokage position.

Su Han glanced at Bo Feng Shuimen with interest, then suddenly smiled and offered an opinion.

"Water Gate, since that guy's already back... why don't we just kill Uchiha Tian now and end this mission early?"

At these words, everyone else's bodies stiffened slightly.

Hou Jue Wo Ban's eyes instantly lit up.

He had almost forgotten: this mission's true goal was not to resolve the Nine-Tails chaos, but to kill the transmigrator.

Since the transmigrator had returned to the village, killing him would solve everything.

Wugeng Liuli had sat quietly beside them, silent all along.

Hearing Su Han raise this topic, she looked up, fixed her gaze on Su Han's face, furrowed her delicate brows slightly, and asked softly.

She took a shallow breath; Wugeng Liuli had truly been pushing herself to adapt to the pace of the Naruto world, but the topic of killing still weighed heavily on her heart.

Wugeng Liuli took a shallow breath; she had been pushing herself to adapt to the pace of the Hokage world, but the topic of killing still weighed heavily on her heart.

Fortunately, Wugeng Liuli had already endured a major crisis in her own world, having witnessed the deaths of hundreds of thousands—otherwise, she would have shown even greater fear.

Yet to draw closer to Su Han and assist him,

Wugeng Liuli was forcing herself to adapt to this rhythm.

She spoke gently, "According to the information gathered from the Hokage copy... if we kill Uchiha Tian, will it trigger an Uchiha clan rebellion?"

Upon hearing this, even the arrogant Hou Jue Wo Ban frowned and fell silent.

If Bo Feng Shuimen agreed, after eliminating Uchiha Tian, they could simply wipe out the entire Uchiha clan as well—no problem.

Their strength was more than sufficient.

As for the Third Hokage or Tobi objecting? Kill them too, then let Bo Feng Shuimen take full control.

But the idea was perfect.

Still, the final decision depended on Bo Feng Shuimen's will.

After all, entering another world without considering its people's feelings, and turning their home into chaos, would be terribly impolite.

Even Hou Jue Wo Ban, as arrogant as he was, held basic respect for fellow Gonghuiju Society members.

Bofengshui Sect's brows knitted tight; after a brief hesitation, he picked up a bowl of Ichiraku ramen and began eating, thinking deeply as his gaze grew distant.

Bo Feng Shuimen frowned tightly, hesitated briefly, then picked up a bowl of Ichiraku Ramen and began eating, chewing slowly as he thought, his gaze distant.

Bo Feng Shuimen never considered killing Tobi a major problem.

From the moment he finished watching the Hokage memory copy, he had already resolved to kill Tobi.

But the key issue is, you can't let this lead to a confrontation with the Third Hokage.

If things really came to that point, Jiraiya—as the link between the Fourth and the Third—would be caught between them, and it would be unbearable for him.

Bofengshui Sect regarded Jiraiya as a father, so naturally he couldn't let Jiraiya be placed in such… an awkward position.

Amid Bofengshui Sect's turmoil, Su Han had already finished his Ichiraku ramen and set the empty bowl on the ground.

"The flavor is indeed good… but still falls far short of what my maid makes."

Su Han clicked his tongue, though he wasn't surprised.

Ram had acquired culinary skills inherited from the world of Shokugeki no Soma—its terrifying level is self-evident.

Although Ichiraku ramen paled beside Ram's cooking, in the real world it would still be the caliber of a rock-solid five-star chef.

Su Han turned his gaze to the troubled Bofengshui Sect and spoke softly.

"Water Gate, I think you're overcomplicating things."

"When your strength is sufficient, actions should be straightforward and clear."

Su Han spread out his hands.

He shrugged.

"All that… politics and such only disrupts your rhythm."

If you just cut through the tangle with a swift blade and resolve everything that needs resolving,

even if the Third Hokage objects afterward, it'll be too late."

"After all, Danzo is dead—truly dead—and the Third Hokage is a man who values the bigger picture; he won't break ties with the Fourth Hokage over a dead man."

Su Han's eyes flickered, his tone laden with implication: "If the Third Hokage truly does that, it won't be concern for Konoha's dignity—it'll be a colossal joke so absurd that all Five Great Nations will laugh at it."
