Konoha's Frozen Vortex

Chapter 155 Hizun's Rhetoric and Danzo's Actions

"Hokage-sama, please forgive me for being powerless. While handing in the task, I also want to take the initiative to apply for a task."

Kosuke Maruyoshi apologized to Hiruzaru Sarutobi.

"What do you mean? What task do you want to apply for?"

Hiruki asked curiously.

"I just heard that you canceled the troops supporting the country of the vortex, right?"

Kosuke asked.

"Even you know?"

"Well, it has spread in Konoha just now. After all, this is one of the few major events in Konoha in recent years."

Gu Jie nodded and said.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen smelled something unusual.

"Danzo, could it be you..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi thought about calling Danzo over later.

"So, what do you want to do?"

"I would like to apply for permission to go support Master Xuehui by myself first."

Kosuke Maruhoshi half-kneeled down, earnestly begging.

"Gu Jie, although you don't want to upgrade, but your current strength is already a jounin."

Sarutobi Hizan persuaded.

"However, a Junin can play a role on the battlefield. You who have experienced the First World War can't understand it."

"I understand, Hokage-sama, but, Yuki-sama is the one who brought me out of confusion. Without his help, I wouldn't be where I am now."

"Right now, Lord Xuehui is in crisis. I have already lost a teammate before my eyes. This time, I don't want to lose my benefactor again. Even if it costs my life!"

Gu Jie's words revealed an extremely firm will, which made Jiraiya and the others standing aside feel a different shock.

This is a will to see death as home for the sake of faith. At this moment, Kosuke's resolute expression is deeply embedded in Jiraiya's mind.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't respond immediately.

"Okay, I've clearly felt your thoughts, it seems that even if I stop you, you will still go your own way, won't you?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed and looked at Kosuke.

Gu Jie maintained a half-kneeling posture and said nothing.

"I agree, Gu Jie, I only have one thing to say to you:"

"Hold on to Konoha's reinforcements, and then come back alive."

"Gu Jie, by the way, convey this sentence to Xue Hui as well!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed to Kosuke's bold request.

"Yes! Thank you so much, Hokage-sama."

Gu Jie leaned down and thanked, then got up without any delay, and walked towards the gate to leave.

"Click."

Gu Jie opened the door, only to find that someone had just knocked on the door.

For a moment, the two were stunned at the same time.

"Feel sorry."

Gu Jie reacted first, apologized, and walked away from the man quickly.

Several people in the room also saw the scene just now.

"Clan Chief Hyuga, please come in."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Hinata Hiten who was still knocking on the door, and said.

"Huh, so many people?"

At this time, on the other side of the corridor, the Nara patriarch also came over. Seeing so many people gathered here, he said strangely.

"Since you're here, let's all come in together!"

Chief Nara, and Akimichi Tokkaze, who came behind him, walked into Hokage's office on the same day.

Coincidentally, before the people in the room could speak, the door that had just been closed was knocked again.

But this time, before Hiruzaru Sarutobi reacted and opened his mouth, the door was pushed open without authorization.

Standing outside the door was Uzumaki Mito, who had already lived a hermit life.

This immediately dissipated the dissatisfaction that Sarutobi had just raised, and was replaced by a little panic.

Mito is getting older and older, but his gentle but majestic aura is getting more and more bewitching with age.

As soon as Mito's figure appeared, everyone present had no intention of speaking. They were all looking at Mito, waiting for her to speak.

Of course, this does not include Tsunade.

"grandmother!"

Tsunade, who hadn't seen Mito for a while, hugged him directly and kindly.

"Tsunade, it seems that this period of time has passed well, and he has grown into a real adult!"

Mito hugged Tsunade affectionately, stroking Tsunade's ponytail.

Then, she looked around and finally spoke to everyone present.

"It seems that there are quite a few people who have come to look for you, presumably they all came for the war in the country of vortex!"

"Yes, Mito-sama."

Nara patriarch responded respectfully.

Hinata Hiten also nodded to Mito.

"Mito-sama, has this already reached you?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked strangely.

"Didn't your ninja come to inform me about this? I was just about to ask you!"

Uzumaki Mito frowned and asked Hizan.

"Little monkey, no, Ri Zhan, why did you make such a contradictory order? Since you are not going to send reinforcements, you shouldn't let me know."

Mito was still a member of Konoha, the wife of the first generation of Hokage, and taught Sarutobi Hiruzen a lesson.

"This..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi opened his eyes wide, wanted to speak but didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to accept Mito's criticism:

"What you said was my negligence."

"It's good to know." Mito nodded in satisfaction.

"Then, that's the end of this matter. Now let's talk about the reinforcements. Now that I've heard the news, you should understand why I'm here now, right?"

It seemed that Mito didn't intend to give Sarutobi a chance to breathe.

"You two, and Qufeng, you came to me for the same reason, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen still had Hokage's composure after all, he didn't answer directly under Mito's pressure, instead he asked the other three people who hadn't spoken much since entering the door.

"That's right, Hokage, I'm here on behalf of some of the ninja families, and I think the Nara patriarch is the same."

Hinata Hinten crossed his arms and looked at the Nara patriarch beside him.

"Yes, Naruto-sama, may I ask if you have considered the various impacts of this move? Including those in the ninja world and those in the village."

Nara Patriarch asked with a worried face.

"Please, Mito-sama, and all of you, please be calm."

Feeling a little headache, Sarutobi pinched the bridge of his nose, then raised his hand to signal.

"It's true that I disbanded the support force, but it doesn't mean that Konoha abandoned the agreement to support Uzumaki."

"Look at this!"

Ri Zhan took out a piece of information and handed it to several people.

"Cloud Ninja and Mist Ninja show signs of large-scale ninja action?!"

Nara patriarch looked at this secret information in surprise.

"This is the information sent by the spies sent by Danzang risking their lives."

Sun Zhan said.

"I see. Hokage-sama thinks that the previous reinforcements are not safe?"

Chief Nara asked thoughtfully.

"That's right, although I don't know why they suddenly changed their minds and wanted to attack a small country like Uzumaki with the power of Bannin Village, but it is obvious that Konoha needs to change our previous plan for this."

"We need to arrange more and more reasonable reinforcements, and given the size of the two major ninja villages this time, we must also be prepared for the spread of war."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi said with a serious face.
