Naruto's graceful style

Shortly after the Kiri Ninja's defeat, news of the death of the Third Raikage spread throughout the ninja world.

In order to cover the retreat of his own ninja army, he fought nearly ninjas with one man, and died of exhaustion after three days and nights.

Once this news came out, the entire ninja world was shocked and silent.

Even the opponents Konoha and Iwagakure couldn't help but secretly admire and sigh, but they also breathed a sigh of relief. After the death of such a monster that is comparable to a tailed beast, it naturally eases a lot for both of them. pressure.

The situation of the war is constantly changing, but now, even the small ninja villages of the small countries that did not participate in the war can see that Konoha has vaguely gained a foothold in victory.

The Sand Ninjas had withdrawn from the battlefield early, and the Kiri Ninjas were only one step away from surrendering. Now that Kumogakure Village had lost the third Raikage, its vitality was obviously severely damaged. Only Iwagakure Village was the last of the four hostile ninja villages.

And its situation is not much better. After all, they tried their best in the battle that dragged down the Raikage to death. In contrast, the losses were much more serious than those of Konoha.

Moreover, Cloud Hidden Village will only hate those Iwa ninjas even more, and their subsequent anger will probably be transferred to them.

The situation is very good for Konoha

"Clap."

The door to the Hokage's office was suddenly pushed open. There was not even a knock on the door, and the people outside pushed the door straight in.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting behind his desk and in a good mood, looked up and saw his old buddy Danzo walking in expressionlessly, with two Konoha ninjas standing behind him who looked embarrassed.

Obviously, they didn't want to stop Danzo's actions, and they didn't want to stop him either.

"It's none of your business, just close the door."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not make things difficult for them. The two guarding ninjas felt like they were being pardoned. After gently closing the door, they looked at each other and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Inside the office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo who walked in front of him and asked: "Come here at this time, what can I do?"

Danzo did not speak, but looked at the message scrolls on the Hokage's table, and then looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and explained his purpose, "I also saw the news from the front line."

This sentence made the Sandaime smile in his heart. After all, this kind of great news makes him feel good no matter how many times it is mentioned. But Danzo's next sentence made the Sandaime's face change slightly.

"Sarutobi, I think now is the time for Konoha to launch a massive counterattack. This rare opportunity may not come around in the future."

"What do you mean"

Sarutobi Hiruzen vaguely noticed a hint, and Danzo's next words also verified his guess.

"Gather the remaining ninjas in the village, all departments, and all the troops that can be mobilized to the front line to deliver the final blow to Iwagakure and establish Konoha's victory."

"Let everyone in the ninja world understand that Konoha is the strongest and the leader of the five major ninja villages."

"Stop, stop, stop, I can understand what you are saying, but I don't agree."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, and said in a calm but unquestionable tone:

"There are no more ninjas in the village that can be dispatched, and the consumption of resources in all aspects is almost overstretched. The victory of this war will definitely belong to Konoha, so this is fine."

The war is about to end, and victory will belong to Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to and couldn't overdraft Konoha to continue fighting.

Perhaps there is some truth to what Danzo said, this is an excellent opportunity to dominate the number one ninja village in the ninja world, but he is actually very satisfied with the current situation.

"Maybe I'm really old and have reached retirement age."

The Sandaime laughed at himself in his heart, and then remembered the idea he had had before to elect the fourth generation.

This war has produced a lot of dazzling talents, and with Orochimaru, Jiraiya and others having already gained a certain reputation before, they don't have to worry about choosing an outstanding successor.

"confused"

Danzo slapped his hand on the table, interrupting the Sandaime's thoughts. His crutch kept hitting the ground "bang bang bang", showing his anger.

"Such a good opportunity, why don't you just give up in vain? There are no extra troops in the village. I am willing to send people. Don't you still have ANBU under your command? There are also those departments in the barrier squad."

"You are emptying Konoha of all its heritage."

Before Danzo could finish speaking, the Sandaime interrupted him. He would definitely not agree to this approach.

""

Danzo's face suddenly twitched when he heard this, but he also fell silent. He looked at each other for a long time with Sarutobi Hiruzen, then his eyes suddenly flashed and he said:

"In this case, let's bring back some of the troops on the front line of the Kingdom of Water. Isn't it almost over there? It just so happens that Uchiha's Sharingan can't play any advantage there."

This time the third generation fell into silence.

But after a moment, he still shook his head and gave the answer with action.

Danzo stood there without saying a word, staring at the Sandaime Hokage's hat from top to bottom for a long time, but the latter simply stopped looking at him. Finally, Danzo let out a heavy snort, his face turned livid. He shook his hands and left the Hokage's office.

"Ugh."

With the muffled sound of the office door being closed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a long sigh.

I was in a good mood, but being disturbed by Danzo in this way, it was nice not to feel bad.

In fact, he was a little tempted by Danzo's last proposal, but after considering all the circumstances, he decided to reject it.

Although he had some selfish motives when he decided to send Uchiha to the battlefield of Water Kingdom, he was still very satisfied with Uchiha's performance on the front line. At least the victory of this war was firmly in hand.

Moreover, the losses suffered by the Uchiha clan are also not small. In everything, too much is too much. Once the Uchiha bottoms out due to excessive checks and balances, the losses will outweigh the gains.

What the third generation didn't know was that if he had agreed to Danzo's proposal and transferred away from the Uchiha in a fit of enthusiasm, the situation on the front line of the Kingdom of Water might have changed before the Uchiha's dissatisfaction caused civil strife in the village.

because,

The Mist Ninja hasn't given up yet.

No, it should be said that the Third Mizukage was unwilling to lose to Konoha.

When everyone in the ninja world believed that the Kiri Ninja would definitely be defeated and it was only a matter of time before they surrendered and surrendered, this Mizukage actually led the ninja army to the front line himself.

Really regardless of the consequences.

Everyone who learned about this incident was stunned.

The Konoha ninja army who faced the Mizukage's overwhelming murderous intention were the most shocked.

"madman"

These were the two words Uchiha Fugaku said with a solemn expression after hearing the news that the investigators risked their lives to bring back.

All the Konoha ninja troops on the front line of the Kingdom of Water were on alert.

Because of the terrain, the Konoha ninjas in the mountain forest began to retreat at this time. After all, this terrain was not suitable for large-scale battles.

Of course, they will not retreat to the sea again.

"Quickly, follow us and retreat outside the forest."

The Konoha Ninja Army took action.

Yuta was among the crowd. He glanced at Yuhi Kurenai, who looked solemn next to him, and whispered to her: "It's okay. After this battle, we can go back."

"Yes." Xihihong nodded heavily upon hearing this.
