Naruto the Strongest Hatake

Chapter 348 Jiraiya's Choice
After the rock ninjas returned to the territory of the country of earth, they did not just keep their tails between their legs. On the contrary, they would send some ninjas from time to time to attack the Konoha ninjas stationed on the border of the country of rivers.

"They seem to have a sense of superiority in guerrilla warfare..."

One day, Fu An sat there discussing this with Namikaze Minato.

Namikaze Minato smiled helplessly and said: "You can only talk about the bloody war in such a funny tone... It's true that they have a sense of superiority, but we can't be beaten by them all the time. At present There are two roads ahead of us, one is to rush directly into the territory of the Land of Earth to pay them back, and the other is to retreat back to the Land of Fire to put an end to this battle for the time being."

"How will we choose?"

"Master Orochimaru will choose one..."

Fu An shook his head and said: "From the beginning of the battle to now, a lot of combat power has been lost... If we continue to fight regardless of our care, once other countries attack us at this time, we will be very passive."

"I think so too," Namakaze Minato looked at Fu An, squinted his eyes and smiled, "You really have grown up, Fu An..."

"Stop, stop talking nonsense, let's get on with the business..."

"What's the matter?"

"Master Hokage, will he agree to Uncle Snake's request to break into the Land of Earth?"

Namikaze Minato was stunned, yes, how did Sandaime think about it?Although Orochimaru is the commander, the decision-making power for major events is still in the hands of the third Hokage-sama.

Therefore, whether to go or fight depends on the meaning of the three generations of adults...
-
Konoha Village, Hokage Office.

On Hokage's table, there is a letter of invitation from Orochimaru requesting to break into the Land of Earth.In front of the table, stood two consultants, Mito Menyan and Zhuanju Koharu.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi took several puffs from the pipe, and then, amidst the smog, asked Zhuanju Xiaoharu and Mito Menyan, "What do you mean?"

Turning to bed, Xiaochun glanced at the request for war, hesitated for a while, and then said: "If Tuanzang is here, he will definitely lead the battle..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Danzo is not here, I just ask what you guys think, don't talk about what you have..."

Staying up late for days, coupled with the pressure of work and war, made him inexplicably angry.

Although he tried his best to restrain himself, bad emotions still showed up inadvertently.

Koharu, who was choked by Hiruzaru Sarutobi, sighed and took a step back, probably wanting to keep his attitude.Seeing this situation, Ke Kemenyan had no choice but to say: "Many people have already died. If this continues, the combat power in the village will collapse. Once the combat power collapses, the situation will be very unfavorable to Konoha, so, I am inclined to withdraw my troops from the bottom of my heart... It's just that I fought two countries before and after this expedition. It seems that I won the battle, but I didn't get the letter of surrender and explanation from the defeated side. If I come back here, I, Konoha, will bear it The status of the world, I am afraid that it will fall a lot!"

"This is exactly what troubles me..."

Sarutobi Hizan sighed.

Konoha's status in the ninja world fell, and after a long time, kittens and dogs dared to come and stroke the tiger's beard.

A long time is not conducive to the development of the village.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to withdraw directly.

However, if we really want to fight, how many ninjas will die?

The problem is in front of us, no matter how we choose, it will cause immeasurable losses to the village.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was anxious, but he couldn't vent his negative emotions at will, so he could only smoke his pipe sullenly.

The shredded tobacco was filled again and again, but there was still no answer from the two consultants.Helpless, he had no choice but to wave his hands and said, "You go back and think about the solution, and I will think about it too... The idea still needs us to get it, and we have to make it before midnight today."

……

The two advisors withdrew.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi sat alone on Hokage's office chair, suddenly missing the time when Danzo was there.

At that time, no matter what kind of dilemma it was, Danzo would immediately choose one.Then, fill in many reasons for the choice you made.

If he, as Hokage, resolutely opposes it, Dan Shimura will take everything on himself if he hides his heart.

In the end, he still didn't forget to laugh at his indecision.

Over the years, there have been many dilemmas, and it was Shimura Danzo who made the choice.And the blame for that choice naturally fell on Shimura Danzo.

Some people say that he is too indulgent with Danzo.

As everyone knows, without Danzo, there would be no Hiruzen Sarutobi.

It is precisely because of this that he tolerates Danzo again and again.

However, Danzo, whom he is willing to tolerate infinitely, when will he wake up!

……

……

Half an hour later, Jiraiya was also called into the Hokage office.

Hiruza Sarutobi put the dilemma in front of Jiraiya, then, looking at Jiraiya, he said with a smile: "Jiraiya, you are no longer the little ninja who likes to peek at women's bathhouses, now, I think Listen to what you mean..."

"Old man, don't speak so harshly, what is 'voyeurism', I call it art collection!"

Jiraiya retorted dissatisfiedly, and picked up Dashewan's invitation to challenge.

After taking a few glances, he couldn't help laughing and said, "I didn't expect that Orochimaru's literary talent is getting better and better. When I get tired of writing novels later, I can ask him to write for me..."

"Hey, hello..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi banged his pipe on the table desperately, and said with black lines all over his head, "You're a stupid apprentice, you've got the wrong focus!"

"It's so noisy, I'm not stupid!"

While talking, Jilai also took a picture of Orochimaru's letter of invitation on Hokage's desk, and said annoyedly: "Since neither choice is suitable, then choose both... It's time to retreat, it's time to find trouble! There are obviously three choices, but I don't know which dead end you have entered, but you must say that there are only two!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi rubbed his temple desperately, and muttered in his mouth: "Please explain clearly, my head hurts a little recently, and my brain turns slowly..."

"It's very simple," Jiraiya looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said, "Let Orochimaru lead a large army to retreat back to recuperate, and then leave a group of elite troops there to deal with Iwanin. By the way, Tsunade has to stay, In this way, if someone in the elite unit is poisoned and injured, she will not be fatal..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi waved his hand and said, "You are too naive, Ziraiya, what if Iwanin turns out to destroy the elite troops after the large troops withdraw?"

"Grandpa, you haven't been on the battlefield for many years, and you are not decisive anymore—" Jilai also said helplessly: "Since it is an elite army, why would you stand there and let Iwanin fight! You turn around and let Orochimaru Tell them, let them fight if they can beat it, and run away if they can't beat it, it's enough to disgust Iwanin to death, there is no need to work too hard! Isn't everything going to be fine in this way?"
