Watching Kifū's expression gradually relax, Hiruzen Sarutobi raised an eyebrow, "So you think the cooperation won't succeed?"
"No, the cooperation might succeed, and the probability isn't low, but to achieve true cooperation is almost impossible. We know Ōnoki is cunning, how could Chiyo and the Third Raikage not know? Would they suspect Ōnoki is scheming against them? Can they cooperate without any reservations? Impossible," Kifū waved his hand.
He continued, "So I think the most likely impact of this cooperation on us is to drag the Mist Ninja into the fray. If three villages can't achieve victory, then dragging another village in to increase Konoha's pressure is undoubtedly a better choice."
Having said this, Kifū finished expressing his views.
"Very good," Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded with considerable satisfaction, Kifū's guess coincided with his own.
"Then do you think the Hidden Mist Village will declare war on us?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked immediately.
"Yes!" Kifū said without hesitation.
Because the one in charge of the Hidden Mist Village now is the Third Mizukage, the Third Mizukage who has inextricable connections with Uchiha Madara.
"However, I guess the Hidden Mist Village won't launch a large-scale attack. The role they can play is to contain us, contain part of our forces, and create greater and more opportunities for the other villages."
If the main body was here, Kifū wouldn't say a word.
But since it's now "Hiruzen Sarutobi" with an identity grafted onto him, of course he'll speak his mind freely.

20 updates! Massive update on release! Agreement reached! I hope everyone can give a little support, and of course, if there are monthly tickets, that would be even better.
Chapter 146: There are Mosquitoes
The once most popular barbecue restaurant in Konoha still seemed a bit deserted at this time.
However, as the two most popular people in Konoha at the moment, the "Yellow Flash" Minato Namikaze and the "Spear of Judgment" Hiruzen Sarutobi, after they arrived at the store, the business miraculously became lively.
Kifū's puppet and Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki sat at the small table at the innermost part.
Kifū's main body sat at the larger table a little further out with Kakashi, Obito, Rin Nohara, Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi, and others.
When seniors and juniors eat together, the juniors inevitably feel a little restrained, so at Minato's suggestion, they split the tables.
At the same time, Minato also wanted to continue discussing the topic Hiruzen Sarutobi mentioned during the day with Kifū.
The nominal alliance of the three great hidden villages and the involvement of the Hidden Mist Village will bring considerable pressure to Konoha, even if some of it is just psychological pressure.
A heavy iron gourd was placed on the side, occupying a seat, and Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki sitting opposite him were feeding him dog food all the time.
At this time, Kifū really wanted to slap himself.
Why did he agree to come to this meal in the first place?
He also agreed to Minato's suggestion to split the tables.
In name, it was to make the juniors happy, but in reality, it was to have more time to be close to Kushina, after all, Minato rarely came back after the war started.
"Minato, ah..." Kushina's face was slightly red, and she opened her mouth.
Minato put the cooked barbecue into her mouth with a bit of doting, and both of them showed sweet smiles at the same time.
Kushina is a carefree girl, but when facing her boyfriend, the person she likes, she inevitably shows the side of a little woman.
Pa!
Kifū couldn't help but slap himself hard.
Hearing the sound, the two of them were stunned at the same time, and Kushina even showed a foolish expression. Minato felt Kifū's resentment, and his expression was slightly embarrassed. He asked symbolically, "Uh, Nikan, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, there was a mosquito, I slapped it to death," Kifū replied stiffly.
"Hee..."
Laughter came from the next table. When Kifū turned his gaze, they all shrank their necks and dared not make any obvious expressions.
"Heh," Kushina smiled disdainfully.
Single dog.
However, this slap made Minato restrain himself slightly, and also reminded him of the reason why he specially invited Kifū to eat together.
"Cough, Nikan, the ninja world is becoming more and more turbulent, and the time for us to gather like this may become less and less."
It seemed to be to alleviate the embarrassment, and also seemed to be finding a reason for his intimacy with Kushina just now.
"It's okay, the war will be over," Kifū said coldly, taking a small sip of tea.
The puppet doesn't need to eat, but it doesn't mean that some food can't be stuffed into the body, but it will be a little troublesome to take it out later.
"This war... I'm afraid it won't be so easy to pass."
As soon as the topic of war was mentioned, the atmosphere on the table began to become serious. Kushina obediently grilled the meat herself and didn't bother the two of them anymore.
Kifū's eyes flickered slightly.
Indeed, judging from the current situation, the war will not pass so easily.
He has the foresight of his previous life's memory, and knows that although the Third Ninja World War was vast and extremely tragic, it did not last long.
In just three years, it exhausted all the savings of the five great hidden villages for decades, and they had to choose to recuperate, in exchange for more than ten years of peace.
"Then fight through it," Kifū put down his teacup and said in a deep voice.
"Hmm?" Minato paused with his chopsticks.
"Didn't the Hokage-sama transfer you from the Land of Hot Water battlefield to the Land of Waterfall battlefield to face the Rock Ninja? The Rock Ninja are different from the Cloud Ninja. The Cloud Ninja have stronger individual strength, and the Lightning Release Armor stimulates their cells, causing them to have good physical fitness and speed. Although your Flying Thunder God Technique is a space-time ninjutsu, it is undeniable that it can exert a greater effect when facing the Rock Ninja. Scare the Rock Ninja, and it's done, just like Senior Sakumo scared the Sand Hidden Village back then."
In response to the alliance of the major hidden villages, Hiruzen Sarutobi also made certain changes and strategies.
The first point is to transfer the Minato Namikaze team to the Land of Waterfall battlefield.
"I'm not that powerful," Minato scratched the back of his head modestly and smiled.
"You are that powerful!" Kifū affirmed.
If you're not powerful, who will I follow in the future?
The main body has not fully grown up, and although the puppet is strong, its strength has been fixed because it is essentially a puppet. Don't look at him seeming very strong now, believe it or not, in another ten or twenty years, that's about it.
So Minato Namikaze must become very powerful.
