# Chapter 849: Aramaki's Lie!
Country of Rivers.
A medium-sized country nestled between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire.
Because its upstream, the north, borders the Country of Rain, which is rainy all year round, a large amount of rainwater flows into its territory, forming a geographical environment full of rivers and jungles.
Therefore, it is also called the 'Land of Rivers' by many people.
This place has always been a 'dream paradise' for the neighboring Land of Wind, and all the people of the Land of Wind yearn to live here.
Unfortunately.
In the previous two wars, the Sunagakure ninja were strongly repelled by the Konoha ninja. As a result, they could only look longingly at the Country of Rivers, unable to obtain it.
However, when the people from the Land of Wind need water, they occasionally come here in groups to take some of the river water.
Regarding this situation, as long as they do not stay for a long time, Konohagakure also turns a blind eye.
As for the opinion of the Country of Rivers and Hidden Hot Spring Village, it's not important.
Without the help of Konoha ninja, the Hidden Hot Spring Village ninja's Strength is simply no match for the Sunagakure ninja.
It is worth mentioning that in the 'Canon future'.
Gaara, who became the Fifth Kazekage, died after the One-Tailed Shukaku was extracted from him in a certain mountain in this Country of Rivers.
Also, Sasori of the Red Sand was killed by Haruno Sakura and Chiyo teaming up in this Country of Rivers.
And now.
Night Curtain descended.
That Moon, formed by the Sealing of their Mother by two 'great filial sons', hung quietly in the Cosmic Star Sea, watching this Earth with cold Gaze.
Somewhere in the Forest.
Aramaki, who claimed to be Hashirama Senju, Gaku Inuzuka, Choza Akimichi, Hizashi Hyuga, Sara, and Chamaru sat around a Bonfire.
Two Wild Rabbits and a Wild Deer caught by Chamaru were hanging over the Bonfire.
Choza Akimichi swallowed his saliva while personally manipulating a wooden stick, slowly rotating their sizzling, oily Bodies.
Gaku Inuzuka occasionally curiously looked at Aramaki's astonishing Body Size, opening his mouth as if to say something but hesitating and remaining silent, only able to glance at the Back View of Minato Namikaze, who had gone to the River to summon Toads.
Because he was still somewhat uncertain about Aramaki's Identity.
After all, this was the First Hokage!
Meanwhile, Hizashi Hyuga found a corner for himself, sat cross-legged on the ground, and closed his eyes to rest.
He was feeling very distressed right now, still bothered by Aramaki being able to smash his Rotation with a single palm.
He had always thought that the Hyuga Clan's Rotation was the Absolute Defense of the Ninja World, and no matter who the Opponent was or what Ninjutsu they used, the User would be completely safe during the duration of this Technique.
Even if the opponent was the Third Hokage!
This had become one of the Hyuga Clan's prides, but today, this pride was shattered.
At the same time.
Sara, who was off to the side, just buried her Head between her knees. The others didn't pay much attention, thinking that the Queen of Rōran was worried about her Nation and Citizens, so no one disturbed her.
Even Aramaki only looked at her curiously before continuing to look forward to arriving at Konohagakure soon.
He had already decided in his Heart that he would first play a trick on them when he got there, then take down all the Ninja in Konohagakure in one fell swoop under everyone's shocked Gaze, and then notify the follow-up Troops to come and take over.
But what no one knew was that Sara was currently trapped in boundless conflict.
"What should I do, what should I do? Should I tell them or not? If I don't say it, but if I do say it..."
She was conflicted about whether to reveal that Aramaki couldn't possibly be the First Hokage.
Sara had already learned the general information about the World Government through the 'introductory video' that Tsukushi had shown her before.
How could this Otherworlder possibly be the former First Hokage of the Ninja World?
So this unknown Officer of the World Government must be lying. But if she revealed this Matter, it would definitely ruin his Plan.
She, Rōran, and all the Citizens of the country were previously protected by the World Government, which allowed them to escape disaster from the brutal invasion of the Third Raikage and Cloud Hidden Ninja.
Her Heart was filled with gratitude for this, so Sara didn't want to be an ungrateful person.
But if she didn't say anything, Konohagakure might be harmed. Although the Memory from back then had been Sealed, she had roughly understood what happened that year through the accounts of many Citizens.
The Konoha Ninja helped Rōran defeat Minister Anrokuzan, who had killed her Mother, tried to kill her, enslaved the Citizens, and plundered the Nation.
This was also a great kindness!
Not to mention Minato Namikaze's blond hair and gentle temperament, which were so similar to the Hero in her dreams, that she was even starting to confirm it was him in her Heart.
So Sara really didn't want Konoha to be deceived because of her concealment.
But great kindness versus great kindness...
What should she do?
Speak, or not speak? If she remained silent, wouldn't that be choosing not to speak?!
Sara's Head was about to explode.
"Lord First Hokage, I have written your Matter on a Scroll and sent it to Konohagakure via Toad. I believe Lord Hiruzen Sarutobi will be very surprised."
Just as the Atmosphere around the Bonfire became extremely strange.
Minato Namikaze slowly walked over and naturally stood behind Sara, smiling at Aramaki, who was sitting on the Wooden Chair he created using his Ability.
"Oh, oh, Hiruzen Sarutobi, that's the Third Hokage, right? Not bad, I'm really looking forward to meeting this excellent junior~"
Aramaki responded with a chuckle, conveniently creating a Wooden Chair behind Minato Namikaze as well. "Sit down and talk. If you want to know anything, you can ask."
He knew that Minato Namikaze and the others must be full of questions about Rōran's Situation.
Especially the Army Overcoat he hadn't had time to change out of, which Aramaki saw as the biggest 'loophole'. After all, there were also some Officers among the Army that surrounded these few people at the time.
Clearly, Aramaki didn't realize that Sara, sitting there with her Head lowered and not speaking, was the biggest 'loophole'.
But he had just come out of the Star Gate when he encountered Minato Namikaze's infiltration and Attack, so he didn't know Sara at all, let alone that she already had a certain understanding of the World Government.
This was the Result caused by unequal Intelligence.
"Okay, then I'd like to ask, looking at the Coat you're wearing, it seems to be the same type as the Army inside Lou Lan City. What's the reason for that?"
Although Minato Namikaze's voice was soft, it attracted everyone's attention. Even Hizashi Hyuga, who was not far away, opened his eyes and looked over.
I knew he would ask this!
Aramaki muttered inwardly, but he showed no sign of being flustered on the surface, bringing out the reason he had already thought of.
"They... are actually an organization called the Sea Ninja Village."
"When they found me, they said they were from the Future Ninja World, and the Sea Ninja Village is a product of the Five Great Ninja Villages merging together to fight against an Alien Race called the Otsutsuki."
"Because the enemy's Strength was too powerful, even gathering all the Ninja in the entire Ninja World couldn't resist them, so they thought of using the Strength of the Dragon Veins to summon the Powerhouses of the Past Ninja World to their era."
"Before, I had just been sent here, and I saw you all causing a ruckus in the City, so I thought you were the enemies they spoke of and directly launched an Attack."
This was the origin story Aramaki had concocted himself using the Ninja World-related Intelligence that the World Government had shown to High-Level Combatants like him.
"As for the rest, I don't know. You'll have to ask the Higher-Ups of the Sea Ninja Village in Lou Lan City."
"But I always feel that this Dragon Veins thing sent us to the wrong place. This is clearly not the Future they spoke of, although for me, it counts as the Future too, lahahahahaha!"
He couldn't help but throw his Head back and laugh heartily, clearly very confident in this Explanation that had quite a few problems.
"So that's how it is..."
Minato Namikaze put on a look of sudden enlightenment after listening, suppressing the many questions that arose in his Heart.
"No wonder that Crocodile claimed to be the Founder of the Wind Country. It all makes sense now!"
Choza Akimichi and the others were even more shocked.
Sara also slowly raised her Head and looked at Aramaki with a complex expression, muttering inwardly, "A Lie mixed with truth and falsehood..."
