Konoha's Frozen Vortex

Chapter 242

Shimura Danzo advocated fighting. With Konoha's strength and prestige in the ninja world, he was provoked by Konoha Village. No matter whether he was a former ally or not, he must give a strong counterattack, otherwise Konoha's prestige will be hit.

However, Zhuanju Xiaoharu and Mitomonyan put forward different opinions. Konoha, who has withstood the three wars, has already lost more than half of his combat power, and now urgently needs to recuperate. Konoha can no longer afford more losses.

What's more, once the war in the country of the same vortex falls into anxiety, the empty Konoha will definitely become the target of other careerists again.

Danzo dismissed the conservative opinions of the two elders.

"A joke! Now we have only one way to defeat the Uzumaki head-on. As long as we win, we can not only increase our strength, but also indirectly step on the cloud ninja and the mist ninja."

"Whether we choose to negotiate peacefully or lose, it will end badly for us Konoha."

Danzo looked at the two advisors with his single exposed eye, and retorted.

Half of Danzo's face and body were wrapped in bandages, but before he needed a cane, he and Sarutobi were still at the tail of their peak.

The two parties in the dispute finally looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been silent all this time, and they hoped that Hiruzen would make the final decision.This is the responsibility he must bear as Hokage.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi rested his hands on the desk and supported his chin, his face was deep, and a drop of cold sweat slowly dripping from his forehead showed his inner unrest at the moment.

"Hi Zhan?" Danzo didn't bother to wait any longer, and urged directly.

"Ugh--"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi let out a long sigh and stood up from his seat.

The already wrinkled face was full of sadness.

"I never thought that one day, some of our teacher's disciples will meet each other on the battlefield. Will the teacher be disappointed with us when he sees this scene?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi said slowly, following his words, Danzo showed a slight smile, while Koharu and Mitomon Yan changed their expressions.

His eyes signaled the two of them not to speak, and Hiruzaru Sarutobi continued:

"I have made up my mind, we, Konoha, will face the troops of the Uzumaki Kingdom head-on!"

"This battle, I want to fight in person, I want to find out what happened!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi announced his decision without hesitation.

"The opponents are Xuehui and Jing, the terrifying Bingdun and Kaleidoscope Sharingan, Uzumaki is also composed of ninjas from the three major families."

"Judging from their record of easily defeating the two major ninja villages of Mist Ninja and Cloud Ninja, their strength will definitely not be inferior to ours, so I decided to gather most of the elite ninjas to fight. Those below Chunin are not allowed to participate."

Sarutobi Hizan said.

Turning to sleep Koharu and Mitomonyan looked at each other, reached a consensus, and said solemnly to Sarutobi Hiruza:

"Since it's against Xuehui and Jing, then Sun Zhan, we'll go with you, at least the few of us know them better."

"Well, that's what I planned too."

Hiru Sarutobi nodded his head and said.

"After all, they are comrades who once fought side by side!"

Mitomon said with a wry smile.

"Danzo, you too..."

Sarutobi Hiruza just wanted to ask Danzo to join him, but he was directly rejected by the other party.

"Hmph! To deal with the country of the vortex, do we still need Konoha's mobilization with such fanfare? Just a few of you are enough! I'll just stay and guard against the empty Konoha!"

Danzo decided on his own.

This made Hiruzaru Sarutobi's mouth froze halfway through his speech, and he didn't close it for a long time.Danzo's words made him feel ashamed in front of the Jonin.

"Alright then." Hiruzaru Sarutobi finally compromised, and turned to Minato:
"I originally wanted you to be in charge of Konoha's defense. After all, this is the grievance of our previous generation. Now that it is like this, your strength may be needed, Minato."

"Obey, Hokage-sama, actually even if you let me stay at Konoha, I will ask you to change the order and let me join the battle."

Minato smiled gently and accepted Hirazan's order.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked around, and suddenly realized with heartache that Konoha, which was once full of talents, has even become very few top ninjas worth entrusting.

"Where are Jiraiya and Orochimaru?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi remembered that he hadn't seen his two disciples until now.

"Well, the two adults are still in the country of the vortex."

Minato scratched his head in embarrassment, and smiled wryly.

"What? You are still staying in the enemy's territory at this time?! Hirizhan, your two apprentices are getting less and less concerned about Konoha!"

Danzo seized this opportunity decisively and hit Sarutobi Hiruzen's prestige.

"Danzo, don't talk yet! Minato, keep talking."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned, scolded Danzo, and motioned for the interrupted Minato to continue.

"They said that they want to find out the truth about Uzumaki-sama's actions. For this reason, staying in the country of Uzumaki is the best choice. Jiraiya-sensei thinks that it is best to stop Uzukage's actions before our two sides fight. of."

Watergate explained.

"So that's the case, well, I hope they can succeed soon."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi accepted this statement.

Next, the people who decided on the countermeasures disbanded, and each went to prepare for the upcoming war.

"Jiushina, you are here, let me have a good meal."

In Konoha's market, Minato found Kushina, who didn't know how to tell her the news of Uzumaki's declaration of war, and forced himself to smile.

"Minato? You're back! Just in time, Uncle Yukimura shot a wild boar from the wild, and I'll cook it for you to eat tonight!"

Uzumaki Kushina dressed up in a homely attire, saw Minato, smiled and reported Minato's arm, and said happily.

"Ahaha." Hearing that Kushina was going to cook herself, Minato could only deal with it haha.

"Kushina."

Yukimura, the hunter who set up the stall, spoke.

"What's wrong, Uncle Yukimura?"

Kushina looked at the other party suspiciously. The middle-aged hunter had the same bright red hair as her.

"If you don't mind, let my wife cook for you. Anyway, she should be at home today. You can find her next door after you get home."

Obviously, he also knows Kushina's current cooking skills. The hunter Yukimura felt sorry for the prey he managed to catch, and helped Minato out of the siege in time.

"That's it," Kushina seemed a little confused, but in the end reason overcame emotion, and agreed with a smile: "Then please uncle!"

"Huh~" Minato secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Have you heard? The country of the vortex has declared war on us! Just now the news came out from the Hokage building!"

Among the crowd passing by in a hurry, there was a burst of discussion, which made Minato's body stiffen subconsciously.
