Negative Master of Konoha

Chapter 132
"Sand Ninja's 2000-man troops launched a surprise attack on many places in the Kingdom of Kawasaki last night. Among them, ten combat teams, five intelligence teams, and five root teams were strangled by Sand Ninja, and three teams performed special missions. The team was affected and the mission failed."

In the command post of Camp Konoha, Shikahisa Nara took out the statistics just now and read them out in front of everyone present.

"Why did the sand ninja act suddenly?" Orochimaru looked at the person in charge of intelligence at the side, with a somewhat unfriendly expression, and said rather dissatisfied: "Did the intelligence personnel in charge of the sand ninja unit not even notice any abnormalities before? "

Seeing Orochimaru with an increasingly gloomy expression, the head of intelligence was sweating on his forehead, and explained bravely: "Master Orochimaru, we have found out about Sand Ninja's actions two days ago, but the information has just been delivered. "

"Why?" Orochimaru raised his eyebrows, waiting for the other party's explanation.

"Because." The intelligence director said this, looking at Sakumo Hatake who was sitting diagonally opposite him with a little hesitation, and finally said: "Because the information obtained by the intelligence personnel at the beginning was handed over to Mr. Sakumo. He was discovered by Sand Shinobi and was imprisoned, but Sakumo-sama failed the mission in order to rescue his teammates, so the information was not transmitted back in time."

"By the time we reschedule the intelligence personnel to investigate and obtain the information again, the sand ninjas have already completed their operations in the country of Kawasaki."

After the intelligence director finished explaining the reason, the conference room fell silent instantly, and everyone focused their attention on Sakumo Hatake who was sitting there.

While other people's eyes were flickering and they were thinking secretly, Hatake Sakumo didn't make much excuses, and admitted frankly: "Yes, I did cause the failure of the mission, and I am willing to take all the responsibilities."

Nara Shikahisa saw some silence, and said again: "Now is not a matter of discussing responsibility, we need to consider the next move of Sand Shinobu."

"We have received the latest information. After completing the raid on the Kingdom of Kawa, the Sand Shinobi troops have returned to the border of the Kingdom of Wind to stand by. As for whether there will be any action in the next step, we are urgently inquiring about it." Intelligence Director In order to make up for the mistake in this incident, he hastily shared the latest information.

"Since these sand ninjas did not choose to break the boat and put the first target of attack on our extremely empty frontline position, then the possibility of sand ninja launching another war with us will be minimized, and presumably they will still use the country of Sichuan as the battlefield Continue to stalemate."

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with contemplation, and he analyzed logically: "With the mobilization of these sand ninjas, there are not many troops available inside the sand ninjas, and it is even difficult to maintain the consumption of the war. As long as we stick to it, Sand ninja will definitely choose to cease fighting with us."

"I agree with Orochimaru-sama," Namakaze Minato immediately agreed after hearing this: "As long as we don't give Sand Ninja a chance to defeat the defense line in one fell swoop, Sand Ninja will not dare to take the risk of a decisive battle with us, so I suggest starting from Konoha The Anbu and Roots of Anbu and Roots recruited a group of ninjas as much as possible to be responsible for the defense of the front line."

"I will make a request with Hokage-sama, but there will still be a shortage of troops," Orochimaru nodded in agreement with Namikaze Minato's proposal, and turned to Nara Shikahisa and asked: "Shikaku, I have an idea, Hire wandering ninjas secretly, and ninjas disguised as Konoha rush to the front line, and once a battle occurs, use them as cannon fodder to consume the power of sand ninjas, so as to offset the opponent's numerical advantage."

"This method can be done at that time, but it may consume a lot of money." Nara Shikahisa's eyes lit up when he heard Orochimaru's idea, and then he quickly analyzed the pros and cons in his mind.

"Don't worry about funding. The Nation of Fire daimyo will specially approve a batch of military expenses for the war, which is enough for the battlefield of the Nation of Wind. As for how to recruit, I will leave it to you."

Orochimaru just got the news that the daimyo knew the difficulties on the front line, and took out hundreds of millions of funds from the private treasury of the daimyo mansion, and transferred them to Konoha.

With this batch of military expenditures, Orochimaru can naturally be more willful, only to realize that this effect is not a very good way.

"Yes, within a week, I will recruit a sufficient number of ninjas."

The price of recruiting Ronin is not cheap, especially in this kind of war between big powers, the recruitment price will often be increased to seven or eight times the usual amount. Now that the biggest problem has been solved, Nara Shikahisa made a promise without hesitation .

The meeting in the command post ended quickly, and the front line was operating efficiently again.

Not long after, Konoha Village also learned of the defeat reported from the front line. After Sandai Hokage asked about the details of the incident, they immediately held a meeting to discuss it.

"Anbu can only draw 50 more people." For the reinforcements requested by Orochimaru, Sandai Hokage was really helpless, so he put his expectant eyes on his old classmates and asked, "Danzo, how is the root?"

"Sarutobi, the current strength of the root is used to force the sand ninja to sign the truce contract, plus the casualties this time." Danzo was very annoyed by the damage to the root, but he still said with the overall situation in mind: " Roots can only serve 30 people."

"In this case, there will be 20 elite ninjas. Then the garrison will deploy [-] more elite ninjas to make up a hundred elite ninjas and go to the front line immediately." After the third Hokage made a decision, he immediately issued a document for the staff standing beside him to convey .

"So what do you think about Orochimaru's application for allocating funds to recruit Ronin?"

After confirming the matter of reinforcements, Sandai Hokage asked everyone present about the funding application proposed by Orochimaru.

"agree."

"Agree."

"support."

The high-level people present all expressed their agreement. After all, they know Konoha's current reality like the back of their hands, and they naturally know that the most important thing is to ensure Konoha's victory. Although they feel distressed about the consumption of funds, they can only use this method helplessly.

After some discussions, the high-level officials determined the funds allocated to Oshemaru, and asked the reinforcements to take them to the front line of Konoha and hand them over to Oshemaru for use.

Just when the Third Hokage was about to announce the end of the meeting, Danzo suddenly said, "Sarutobi, do you have any decision on punishment for Hatake Sakumo, who caused heavy losses on the front line?"

"Danzo, the front line is at a critical moment, let's wait until the war is over." Third Hokage was taken aback, he didn't expect Danzo to ask such a sensitive question at this time.

"Because of Hatake Sakumo's impulsiveness, it has caused extremely serious consequences for the actions of the front line and the roots. If there is no punishment, the ninjas on the front line will be disappointed." Danzo did not flinch, but pressed a step forward and said: "Sarutobi, please make a decision."

"Three generations of adults, I agree with Danzo-sama's thoughts"

"I agree too. Does Hatake Sakumo think war is a joke?"

"Three generations of adults, please order"

Under Danzo's proposal, a group of high-level officials expressed their support one after another, and even some neutral ninjas criticized Hatake Sakumo's approach.

Looking at the excited executives, Sandai Hokage hesitated for a moment, and gave the order helplessly.
