Konoha's Shiranui Genma

Chapter 178 Konoha's Authority

"This is?" Namikaze Minato seemed a little puzzled.

Shiranui Genma said: "Master Hokage, if I remember correctly, there should be a piece of information not long ago, saying that the eldest son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind died of a stubborn illness."

Namikaze Minato frowned, as if realizing something, fell into deep thought.

A few seconds later, Shiranui Gen said indirectly: "The eldest son of the daimyo of the land of wind is just like his father. He is an uneducated and inexperienced scumbag. He is the most ideal heir to the daimyo of Sagakure."

"In contrast, his younger brother Toshikura Kai is a person full of will to fight, and he is very dissatisfied with the authority of Sand Yin. He wants to expand the power of the daimyo, and even establish a ruling order belonging to the daimyo..."

Namikaze Minato pondered: "What do you mean, do you want Konoha to assassinate Yasuya Toshikura, Daimyo Toshikura of the Kingdom of the Wind, so that his second son will succeed him and intensify the internal conflicts in the Kingdom of the Wind?"

"Not bad." Shiranui Genma nodded.

"Although the fourth Kazekage Rasa's voice to the outside world has always been quite satisfactory. However, it is not difficult to see from various signs that he has no intention of making friends with Konoha, and can even be regarded as the main combatant... He has been Actively seeking an alliance of wind and water, and being greatly influenced by Chiyo and Ebizo, he has the idea of ​​revitalizing the military and even starting the war again."

After a pause, he continued: "Therefore, I think that Konoha should take measures to allow the next daimyo of the Kingdom of the Wind to succeed to the throne early, so as to let him enter internal friction and weaken the authority of Luo Sha and the power of Sha Yin."

"I have carefully checked the travel route of the daimyo of the land of wind this time. There are at least two places that are very suitable for ambushes. The daimyo is not Kazekage, and the strength of the whole team is basically just those few guardian ninjas. As long as you are fully prepared, it is not difficult to defeat And considering the current extremely weak state of Sand Yin, even if the news leaks out, Sand Yin can only choose to forbear."

After listening to Shiranui Genma's narration, Namikaze Minato thought about it, and then said: "It's a good choice. But assassinating a country's daimyo has a lot to do with it. It's best to leave it to the elders for discussion."

"How about this, you first formulate a rough action plan as soon as possible, and then the elders will discuss and decide tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Shiranui Genma: "Yes."

……

Konoha's core power organization has four levels, the highest level is "Konoha Jonin Conference", and the members are all Jonin.

In name, the Jonin Council has unlimited power in Konoha, and major decisions such as the appointment and dismissal of Hokage and the revision of laws must be approved by it.

Under the Jōnin Conference is the "Konoha Council", whose members are the heads of the main departments of Konoha Village and other high-ranking Jōnin, such as the principal of the Ninja School, the director of the Konoha Hospital, the director of the Konoha Medical Department, the local Minister of Defense, Captain of the Police Force, etc.Shiranui Genma is now also a member of the council.

Of course, some positions are sometimes held by the same person. For example, Hiruzen Sarutobi served as the principal of Ninja School and Hokage at the same time, and Biwako Sarutobi served as the president of Konoha Hospital and the director of the medical department at the same time.

When the Jonin Council is not in session, the Konoha Council decides everything about Konoha.

The next level is the "Konoha Presbyterian Church", which is generally composed of four to eight people. The current members include Shimura Danzo, Mitomon Yan, Zenju Koharu, Sarutobi Hiruzane, and of course the current Hokage Namikaze Minato .

These five people are the specific meaning of the term "Konoha High Level".When the council is not in session, all affairs of Konoha are controlled by them.

The lowest level is "Hokage", which has the highest personal power and is the leader of Konoha Village and the Country of Fire.

In the afternoon of the next day, in a meeting room of the Hokage Building, with Minakaze Minato in the center, all five members of the Konoha Presbyterian Church were present, and Genma Shiranui stood behind Minakaze Minato.

"The next thing to discuss is the assassination of the daimyo of the country of wind, Genma, please state the specific plan." Namikaze Minato said.

"Yes." Shiranui Genma nodded, and then explained the necessity of assassinating Daimyo of the Land of Wind, and roughly explained the assassination plan.

Pointing to a map of the Land of Winds hanging next to him, he said: "According to the route and schedule provided by the information, the team of the Land of Winds daimyo Tokura Yasuya will arrive at a place between Yokosaki and Sand Gama around July 7th." In the valley, that is the best time for us to make a move."

"The ninja team responsible for protecting the daimyo of the land of wind is expected to have six to eight guardian ninjas, and about [-] lower ninjas..."

While Shiranuo Xuanjian was talking, Xiaochun seemed to suddenly think of something when he turned to bed: "Sand cauldron? I remember something like—"

"The place where Izuo Jinchuriki is imprisoned. Well, speaking of it, that old monk is about to die. I don't know who the next Izuo Jinchuriki will be." Shimura Danzo said lightly.

The atmosphere was quiet for a few seconds, and Genma Shiranui continued to explain the plan.

After the explanation, Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at Minakaze Minato: "Minato, what's your opinion?"

Namikaze Minato pondered for a moment: "I support this plan. As Gengen said, for us, Luo Sha is far from being a friendly and reliable Kazekage. What he has done recently in seeking an alliance of wind and water Everything he does shows his ambition. Konoha should try to weaken his influence as much as possible."

"...After the success of the assassination plan, with the succession of the new Daimyo Tokura Kai, the internal conflicts in the Kingdom of the Wind will inevitably intensify, and Sand Hidden will also fall into a long-term decline. This will benefit us and not harm us at all."

Shimura Danzo said at this time: "The old man also agrees with this plan."

"If it works properly, within a few years, we can conquer at least half of the Land of Winds and make up for our regrets in the Third Ninja World War."

Turning to bed Xiaochun snorted: "Danzo, do you still want to start a war?"

"That's right." Danzo admitted bluntly.

Namikaze Minato said cautiously: "A united country of wind is not in Konoha's interest, but war may not be the only effective means of confrontation. Especially not long after the third Ninja World War, Sand Hidden is of course seriously injured , Konoha also lost a lot. Regarding the war, I don’t think it needs to be considered for the time being.”

Mitomon nodded: "Indeed."

Then he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen again: "Hirozawa, what do you think about this?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "I support Minato's decision."

Namikaze Minato smiled slightly, then took out a list, and said: "The level of this mission is S rank, and I have drawn up a list of ninjas to perform the mission."

"The team size is 16 people, eight jonin, eight chunin, and the captain is Shiranui Genma."

I don't know Huo Xuanjian was stunned for a moment.

After all, as the captain and first assistant of Hokage's guard, he was by Hokage's side most of the time. He didn't expect that this time he would be assigned a mission to assassinate the daimyo, and he was also the captain.

Surprise flashed across the faces of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, but they didn't say anything and waited for the following.

Namikaze Minato went on to say: "The deputy captain is Akidodo Tou. In addition, the Jonin also includes Matt Dai, Uchiha Shisui, Unino Kakaku, Yume Taketa, Hara Keisuke, and Hinata Keisuke."

"The eight Chunin are Nara Oval (Note), Yuhi Beni, Shizune, Sarutobi Asma, Kuma, Shigenobu, Dohashi Shikiyoshi, and Shimurahei."

After reading the list, Namikaze Minato looked at the four of them and said, "So, do you have any comments on this plan?"

　The name "Nara Oval" does appear in "Book of Formation".
