Naruto: Immortal Spirit

Life will not show mercy because of certain misfortunes, and no one can stop the great changes of the times.

In the largest conference room in the Hokage Building.

The three elders of Konoha, the heads of various families, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and the elite jonins of the jounin class are sitting in the conference room. Dozens of the most powerful people in Konoha are gathered here. It is no exaggeration. It must be said that this place has the strongest power in the entire ninja world today.

But no one spoke, they were all waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting in the main seat, to speak.

"Everyone take a look at the scrolls in your hands first..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked solemn, frowned and didn't say much. He just motioned to everyone present to check the scrolls in front of them.

When everyone heard this, they remained silent, opened the scroll, and looked at it carefully.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around everyone. When he saw Namikaze Minato, there was a faint glint in his eyes.

The three elders Shimura Danzo, Mito Kadoen, and Kaden Koharu sat quietly. They had already understood the contents of the scroll, and they could not see their emotions or anger, nor did they know what they were thinking.

"This……"

There was not much information on the scroll, and everyone who read it quickly had different expressions.Most people frowned, and their solemn expressions were clearly visible.

The green smoke from Sarutobi Hiruzen's pipe slowly rose, forming a cloud of mist.There seemed to be some worry in his eyes. He glanced around the people in the conference room and spoke slowly.

"Everyone has seen it. According to the news from the intelligence personnel, the third Kazekage mysteriously disappeared and was suspected to be dead. The Kingdom of Wind is leaderless. The Cloud Ninja and the Rock Ninja teamed up to send troops to the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind at the same time..."

As he spoke, he took a deep breath from his pipe.

"What do you all think?"

"Maybe this is an opportunity for us?"

Some jounin from the main war faction began to express their opinions, but this was just a suggestion. The heads of the major families were still frowning and silent, as if they were thinking about something.

"Yes, the Kumo ninja traveled a long distance and sent troops to two major countries at the same time, so they will definitely be unable to succeed. The Tsuchikage Ohnoki of the Iwa ninja is a cunning person, and it is definitely impossible to work together with the Kumo ninja. If they join forces, they will be separated.

Now that the Sand Ninja are weak and in urgent need of external help, we can unite with the Sand Ninja to implement strategic defense against the Iwa Ninja, and concentrate our efforts to annihilate the vanguard of the Kumo Ninja first. "

Although Namikaze Minato is not a hawk, he will not just watch other countries invade Konoha.

Although his voice was not loud, it focused everyone's attention on him. This powerful and gentle jounin had been regarded as the mouthpiece of the third generation by major families.

As a third-generation disciple, Jiraiya's disciple, and a direct descendant of the Hokage, no one would care about his opinion - to a certain extent, his words imply the attitude of the third generation.

When everyone was silent, a jounin in the corner suddenly spoke.

"After defeating the Cloud Ninja, once the Kingdom of Wind falls into a melee for the position of Kazekage, we can try to unite with the Rock Ninja and use force to oppress the Kingdom of Wind, forcing the Kingdom of Wind to give up most of its mission resources and strategic fortresses, or even... we You can intervene in the selection of candidates for the Fourth Kazekage..."

The Jonin who spoke in a muffled voice, Shinta Yurya, glanced at Danzo vaguely. He, who was usually not conspicuous, suddenly spoke, but everyone was stunned. He looked at it vaguely, and roughly understood. He is a subordinate of Elder Danzo.

However, what he said seemed absurd but seemed to be extremely feasible. At least the idea of ​​obtaining some resources was completely feasible.

"Fantasy! In Suna Ninja Village, that old woman Chiyo has a very high reputation. It is simply unrealistic to want to bypass Chiyo and interfere in the Kazekage's election.

In addition, I think we need to strengthen the defense on the border with the Wind Country to prevent Suna Ninja from pointing the finger at Konoha in order to divert domestic conflicts. "

"The Kingdom of Wind is no bigger than the Gobi Desert. I'm afraid the Cloud Ninja and Iwa Ninja's attack on the Sand Ninja Village is not as simple as imagined. Their goal must be Konoha! Even the attack on the Sand Ninja is just a big show, just waiting for Mu Ye takes the bait!”

Inuzuka Claw's speech obviously did not get the approval of most people. Compared with Konoha Village, the strength of Suna Ninja is still far behind. In most people's subconscious, if Suna Ninja comes to attack Konoha, that is It was a disgrace to oneself, and besides, the Kumo ninja and the Iwa ninja would not find a burden as an ally.

Yamanaka Haiichi shook his head slightly. Inuzuka Kusa's temper was still too impatient. He regretted his talkativeness after coming out of Shikaku's house yesterday.

Seeing that his speech was not recognized by everyone, Inuzuka looked a little aggrieved.

Nara Shikaku looked at Inuzuka Kuma with a bit of surprise, as if he thought of something, and glanced at Yamanaka Haiichi lightly. This usually honest man seemed to be a little afraid to look at him.

"Cough cough..."

As if he was choking on his pipe, Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed slightly, and the conference room slowly fell silent. Everyone looked at the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

It may have been only a few years after World War II. Although he didn't think that the Suna Ninja might attack Konoha, he was still wary of the war. Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded to Inuzuka Claw, but he obviously had no intention of supporting her. .

"It is necessary to be more vigilant, but for Suna Ninja Village, our primary goal at this time is to obtain more information. While searching for information, we should wait and see what happens. Cloud Ninja and Iwa Ninja are the primary targets..."

"But since it has been proposed, the three sensing teams will be led by the Inuzuka Claw Jonin to gather information while also strengthening the defense force against the Kingdom of Wind. The ANBU will also send people to take charge of the intelligence work."

"Yes!"

The Inuzuka family may have stayed with beasts for a long time, and they always have a hot temper. Although they are considered a large ninja clan in Konoha Village, they do not have any outstanding characters. The entire family is in Konoha. Their status is only that of a second-rate family.

"Minato said it right just now..."

"First of all, we must deal with the attack on Yun Ninja Village. This is urgent. We should concentrate our efforts on a quick victory."

"Iwa ninjas have always been cunning. Even if they concentrate their strength, I am afraid that it will be difficult to completely end the Earth Kingdom battlefield for a while. It is necessary to adopt a defensive counterattack strategy..."

The Sandaime was smoking his pipe, but suddenly fell silent. As if he was testing, but also as if he had made up his mind, he slammed the table violently, making everyone focus on him.

The body, which is not very tall, looks like a wild beast that has just awakened, a little more powerful and unquestionable.

"Jiraiya, Minato, and Uchiha Fugaku, obey the order, order Jiraiya to be the commander-in-chief of the Kumo ninja battlefield, and Minato and Uchiha Fugaku to be the deputy commanders. Recruit five thousand ninjas to repel the Kumo ninja as soon as possible!"

Suddenly hearing the voice of the Sandaime Hokage, Fugaku's eyes, which he had closed to recuperate, opened instantly. He looked at the Sandaime Hokage with a little surprise, then thought of something, and turned his eyes to Namikaze Minato, with a slight smile on his lips. , and looked at Minato who was also smiling.

"The Uchiha family will go all out!"

"Namikaze Minato obeys!"

"rest assured……"

Jiraiya didn't like this atmosphere and had no intention of speaking. However, facing the war, he had a somewhat solemn expression on his face and nodded solemnly.

Looking at his favorite disciple Minato Namikaze, his eyes were full of gentleness. This disciple whom he regarded as a possible son of destiny, who would change the world, was almost perfect, and his relationship with the Uchiha clan was also handled extremely well. This This time it will definitely shine in the war.

I don't know what he thought of, but he turned to look at his best friend Orochimaru, raised his eyebrows at him, showing his big white teeth, but only got a blank stare in return.

Jiraiya stiffened his face and curled his lips slightly.

"Orochimaru and Hinata Hinashi obey the order! Order Orochimaru to be the commander-in-chief of the Iwa-nin battlefield, and Hinata Hizashi to be the deputy commander. Recruit three thousand ninjas to annihilate the small force of the Iwa-nin, but avoid large-scale battles and kill the Iwa-nin. Just block it outside the border of the Fire Country!"

"Yes……"

"Hyuuga Hinashi listens to orders..."

Hinata and Hinata were a little strange, but they remained calm and sat down slowly with a bit of elegance and grace.

Orochimaru's eyes also narrowed. Although Sarutobi Hiruzen did not prevent him from going to the battlefield as Danzo said, he did not put him in the most important position.

Although it seems that he and Jiraiya are the commanders-in-chief of the battlefield, everyone here can understand that compared to the Iwa Ninja battlefield, the Kumo Ninja battlefield will be more tragic, but at the same time it will also have more military exploits.

Orochimaru took a deep look at Hiruzen, but then he smiled as if he didn't care.

"That's it for now, go down and get ready..."

"Yes!"

Everyone was speechless and walked out of the conference room silently.

Most people were silent from beginning to end. For these 'participants' who only wear their ears and keep their mouths shut all year round, obeying any resolution of any conference, it is natural for them to be silent on such an important matter. They won't have any say.

It wasn't until Hiruzen and the three elders were the only ones left in the entire conference room that Mito Kadoyan slowly spoke.

"Hiruzhan, have you decided?"

"Jiraiya may be more suitable to inherit the will of fire..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say much. Today's order has already revealed his thoughts to the entire Konoha family. He believes that no one who can sit here will not understand.

Koharu and Mito Kaden who went to bed also nodded in agreement. Compared to Orochimaru, who was a little cold, they were more optimistic about Jiraiya.

"But it also depends on the direction of the next war..."

God is not as good as man. In Konoha, a place where ninjas gather, battle achievements always speak for themselves. If Jiraiya loses one after another, he can only turn to Orochimaru.

After all, he had given the opportunity.

Both were his apprentices, but he had to consider more...

"Sun Zhan, you will regret it!"

Danzo snorted, not interested in staying here anymore, turned around and disappeared into the conference room.

The two elders glanced at Danzo and said nothing. They knew that Danzo was supporting Orochimaru, and it was reasonable for Danzo to be angry.

It's just that over the years, they have gotten used to the number of times Danzo has been angry...
