I asked you to be Hokage and you burned Konoha?

The Kingdom of Rain and the Three Kingdoms are often regarded as a buffer zone for the war between the Three Kingdoms. Therefore, among the western countries, the Kingdom of Rain is the worst. Once a ninja war breaks out, it will be reduced to rubble.

The northeastern part of the Fire Country is much better. Although there are countries between the Fire Country and the Thunder Country, those two countries were very smart and directly divided the land connecting the two countries into two pieces. The country and the country of thunder are on one side.

Although this will make the country much smaller, it will also avoid being affected by the war.

Of course, the main reason is because of the special geographical location, the connection between the sky and the sky, with the sea on both sides, and one person on one side. If you want to come over, you must break the garrison from the front. In addition, the strength of the warriors of the Iron Country is not weak, so compared with Among other directions, the northeast is the best direction for Konoha to garrison.

Well, the only enemy here is Kumogakure, and there is no need to worry about Kumogakure sneaking over from the Iron Kingdom. If you want to attack, you have to take the front. Theoretically, there is no reason for Konoha to be afraid of Kumogakure, but so on. ..

It is for this reason that Konoha does not want to offend Kumogakure.

It can be seen from previous ninja wars that Konoha's hard power is actually stronger than these large villages combined. If it can tie the other four major countries together, Konoha will never be afraid, but the problem is that others are not tied together. !

Once a big country on the southeast, northwest and sides launches an attack together, Konoha's defensive front will be infinitely widened, especially the location of Kumogakure!

Once the buffer zone divided between the Kingdom of Tian and the Kingdom of Iron is captured by the Cloud Ninjas, the Kingdom of Fire will completely lose its ability to resist against the Hidden Cloud Village.

This place is like the Macedonian Defense Line. Unless you can fly, it's basically impossible to get past it.

And when the time comes, others will hit you if they want to, and you will shrink back if you fight back, completely losing the initiative. This threat will be too great.

Therefore, according to Sarutobi Hiruzen's idea, as long as he can make good friends with the Kumo ninja, there is no need to be afraid of attacks from several other directions. Konoha, whose front is not that long, can definitely kill the nearby Iwagakure and Sunagakure villages.

So what Sarutobi Hiruzen is not afraid of is war. What he is worried about is Kumogakure. Once Kumokakure takes the initiative to declare war, other countries will definitely follow. After all, Kumogakure alone can contain a lot of Konoha's combat power. You won't lose easily. If you have such an opportunity, others will definitely intervene if they are not stupid.

Well, this is also the main reason why Minato was able to go from being an unknown to being famous in three battles.

Because it was besieged by the Four Kingdoms, Konoha's battle line was stretched too long, with enemies on all sides including the southeast, northwest and northwest. In this situation, only Minato, who had mastered the Flying Thunder God, could rescue the siege. With his strength, he alone could form an army.

And one can imagine how strong the oppression brought by such a ninja who could appear at any time on the battlefield...

Now that Minato is dead, the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki has not yet grown up, and the two legendary Sannin are not in the village, and the new generation of geniuses have not yet fully grown up. Only Uchiha Shisui and even Kaka can be used. Xidu is a bit worse.

Moreover, Konoha is not at peace either internally. The Nine-Tails Rebellion made many people doubt Uchiha and thought it was Uchiha's fault. Uchiha was even directly kicked out of the core layer for this. Such treatment made many Uchiha people Very dissatisfied, some people have started openly proposing to defect from the village at the group meeting.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know what Seti said was right?

If he abandons the Hyuga clan, the village will inevitably become disloyal, and the Hyuga clan will also be dissatisfied with the village. But the question is, in such a situation, what else can he do?

All he can do is endure!

As long as this period of time is endured, the new generation of the village has grown up, people like Kakashi and Gai can take charge of their own affairs, the hidden dangers within the village have been eliminated, and Konoha can begin to show its fangs, no matter what Will no longer be afraid of external threats.

Now is actually the weakest period in Konoha's history!

However...

He wanted to tolerate someone but couldn't.

He sighed slightly when he thought of this.

"Hiruzhan, it is because of your indecision that you are in the current situation!"

Danzo didn't know when he came. He seemed to know what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking, and his hoarse voice was filled with a hint of sarcasm.

As early as after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he proposed to eliminate the Uchiha clan, but this guy vetoed his proposal. If this internal trouble was solved at that time, if the Kumo ninja wanted to start a war, then they would start a war. How could they? Is it as difficult as today?

"How can you eliminate the rich families in the village just because of a suspicion?"

"They openly said they wanted to rebel against the village at the clan meeting, can they still be considered a powerful clan in the village?!"

"Those are just angry words of dissatisfaction..."

Hearing this, Danzo angrily said: "The opportunity has been given to them. Even if the Nine-Tails Rebellion was not caused by them, the one who controls the Nine-Tails is the Sharingan. This is what everyone has seen, and then they were just asked to move out of the center. They dare to be dissatisfied even though they are in a circle, and dare to say that they want to rebel against the village... Who gave them the courage?!"

"I knew it when Uchiha Madara rebelled against the village. The teacher also said that Uchiha was evil, so you..."

"Alright Danzo!"

Interrupting Danzo's follow-up words, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and looked at him and said coldly: "I am the Hokage now, are you dissatisfied with my decision?!"

"you..."

He was furious, but thinking of the purpose of coming here, Danzo suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "Now that the front line is in turmoil, there is no need for so many Anbu to stay in the village. I propose to send these people to the eastern defense line!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you say you don't need to give that boy reinforcements? What now..."

"If he dies, it's because he didn't have enough wisdom or luck. If he dies, he dies, but the line of defense cannot be compromised!"

"Then what if the Uchiha clan..."

"Don't you think they won't rebel against the village?"

"Uh..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little embarrassed, and said with a dry smile: "Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared..."

Seeing him like this, Danzo stopped mocking him, snorted and frowned: "Some things can only be seen when you are at your lowest."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled, "What do you mean..."

"You trust Uchiha Shisui and think he can appease the Uchiha clan, but I don't trust him!"

Danzo said coldly: "Seti takes people to the front line. Now you have a reason to send ANBU. Once the ANBU leaves, if it is a poisonous snake, it is time to show its fangs!"

"..."

In silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and did not respond immediately.

He held the pipe in his mouth and said after a while: "If it's true..."

"Then kill!"

Danzo's expression was extremely cold, and there was murderous intention in his narrowed one eye, "I have been given the opportunity, and it was not just once... I would rather the village's strength weakened, than one of my own people stabbed me in the back at a critical moment. !”
