Naruto started to become stronger by becoming a disciple of Tsunade

"Danzo, what about you?" The Third Hokage looked at Danzo Shimura.

"I think what you said makes sense!" Then Danzo slumped down into the stool.

"????"

See Shimura Danzo’s statement.

The Third Hokage almost threw the pipe in his hand over.

Young man, what do you mean?

Don’t you understand what I mean?

Are we no longer the harmonious and tacit combination of light and dark that we once were?

I'm here to show off, and you take the blame!

What a harmonious partnership we are!!

But no matter how many times the Third Hokage flirted with Danzo Shimura, he still curled up in the soft sofa without saying a word!

It was as if the Third Hokage's eyes were no longer attractive.

Boom! !

The Third Hokage looked at the unmoved Danzo Shimura and slammed his pipe heavily on the seat.

He has decided to replace all the sofas in the small conference room with chairs with hard backs.

"Ahem!" The Third Hokage cleared his throat which was uncomfortable due to smoking.

"I agree with Mito Kado En's suggestion! I think Konoha should now press on with the victory, advance and inflict a heavy blow on Kumogakure, or even defeat the Kumogakure front in one fell swoop!!" The Third Hokage said, and then slammed the table heavily.

"What do you think?" The Third Hokage stared at Utane Koharu with a look that seemed to carry infinite pressure.

Mitomon En raised his arm to show his agreement without waiting for the Third Hokage to finish his words.

"I, I, I agree too!!" After repeated consideration, Koharu Utane decided to agree with the opinion of the Third Hokage.

"Since they all agreed, I have no objection!" Danzo Shimura seemed to have realized it at this time and agreed with the Third Hokage's proposal.

"Okay, that's decided!" After saying that, the Third Hokage immediately stood up and left the small meeting room.

Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were left looking at each other.

Danzo Shimura has always looked down on these two fence-sitters. He stood up and walked out the door without paying any attention to them.

After the Third Hokage returned to the Hokage's office, he quickly drafted a plan.

Solemnly stamped with the seal of Konoha Hokage.

Buckle up!

The Third Hokage tapped the table lightly twice.

A cat-faced ANBU appeared in front of the desk.

"Lord Hokage!"

"Send it urgently to the Hidden Cloud Front and let the commander of the Hidden Cloud Front, Orochimaru, receive it personally!" said the Third Hokage solemnly.

"Understood, Lord Hokage!" The cat-faced Anbu took a few steps forward and took the envelope from the Third Hokage.

Whoosh!

The Land of Hot Springs, the Hidden Cloud Front!

Orochimaru stared at the letter in his hand with a face as gloomy as condensed water.

"Orochimaru, are you looking for me?" A man with a pineapple-like hair style inherited from the Nara family lifted the door curtain and walked in.

"Shikaku!"

"Come and look at this!!" Orochimaru saw Nara Shikaku coming in and stretched out his hand to wave him over.

"What's wrong!" Nara Shikaku walked around the sand table in the center of the tent and went straight to Orochimaru's table.

Nara Shikaku curiously picked up the letter that Orochimaru had just placed on the table.

"Is this an expedited letter from the village?" Nara Shikaku asked when he saw the unique letter paper and the special mark on the letter.

"Ok!"

"The village's next deployment for us!!" Orochimaru said lightly.

"What is this? Lord Hokage wants us to organize an attack on Kumogakure as soon as possible?" asked Nara Shikaku with a frown.

"Shikaku, you and I are old partners. What do you think?" Orochimaru did not answer Nara Shikaku's question, but asked back.

"Well, me?" Nara Shikaku looked at Orochimaru and hesitated for a moment!

"It's okay, just say it boldly! There's no one else here!" Orochimaru said to Nara Shikaku.

"Then I'll be frank with you. I actually don't recommend launching an attack on Kumogakure right now!!" After hearing what Orochimaru said, Nara Shikaku did not beat around the bush but spoke bluntly.

Hearing Nara Shikaku's suggestion, Orochimaru smiled and said, "I thought so too!"

"Konoha is now fighting on two fronts, and the pressure is extremely high. I heard that Iwagakure and Amegakure have reached a certain degree of cooperation. At this time, the pressure on the Iwagakure front is even greater!"

"Moreover, Kumogakure has lost more than a hundred elite ninjas now. The entire Kumogakure should be eager for revenge and their morale is high. What we should be on guard against now is Kumogakure's revenge, rather than taking the initiative to attack!!" Orochimaru took the letter from Nara Shikaku and gently placed it on the table.

Although the Third Hokage's idea is good, it is not suitable for the current situation of the war.

Konoha needs a sure victory.

"Yeah!" Hearing Orochimaru's words, Nara Shikaku nodded slightly.

"That does make sense. If it were any other country, we could adopt this tactic of pursuing victory, but facing a country like Kumogakure whose military power is no less than that of Konoha, we should prioritize stability!"

"And, like you said, the people in Kumogakure should be very excited right now. I believe they will launch a larger attack in the near future!" Nara Shikaku continued to add, following Orochimaru's topic.

"Haha, that group of reckless men are definitely thinking about how to tear us apart!" Orochimaru showed a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth.

Then he said with a somewhat regretful tone: "It's a pity that Konoha is under too much pressure to fight on two fronts now. Otherwise, if it was just a single-front battle, I wouldn't mind giving it a try!"

Orochimaru's tone was somewhat lonely.

But the situation forced him to do so. He had no choice but to take the risk. Neither could he afford to gamble, and neither could the Iwagakure front.

The Kumogakure Front and the Iwagakure Front support each other. If one side collapses, it will be a total loss.

Unfortunately, both sides can only rely on their own strength to break the deadlock at this time.

The Kumogakure front is facing the next counterattack from Kumogakure, and this time it will definitely be a head-on battle.

The Iwagakure front was facing pressure from the combined forces of Iwagakure and Amegakure.

He didn't want to see a situation where he had won a battle but could only passively defend.

At this time, Orochimaru could only endure and wait for the right opportunity to give the enemy a fatal attack.

"But..." Nara Shikaku looked at Orochimaru's back, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"What's wrong, Shikaku?" Orochimaru turned his head and asked Nara Shikaku.

"But you will face considerable pressure in the village!" Nara Shikaku said softly.

After hearing what Nara Shikaku said, Orochimaru himself paused for a moment.

"Don't worry, I will take care of the pressure in the village!" Orochimaru let out an evil smile.

When a general is away from home, he may not obey military orders! !

Orochimaru uttered a few words softly.
