Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

Sarutobi Hiruzen once again looked around at the many jonin in the hall and said, "Konoha needs to respond accordingly to the current situation in the ninja world. This meeting will make certain adjustments to the distribution of troops on Konoha's borders."

Of course, in Konoha's jonin conference system, every jonin has the right to propose and vote, but most ordinary jonin generally only exercise their voting rights. The ones who can propose and speak in the meeting are the patriarchs of various powerful families and the leaders of various troops.

As expected, as soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, most of the ninjas' eyes were on the patriarchs of the Hyuga and Uchiha clans, advisory elders like Mito Kado En, and leaders of the Jonin forces like Akimichi Tofu.

The first to speak was Mitomon En: "As the situation has developed to this stage, our previous strategic goals in Konoha can be said to have been fully achieved. We have ensured the stability of the River Kingdom and the Grass Kingdom, and thwarted the ambitions of the Wind Kingdom and the Rain Kingdom."

"On the contrary, the idea of ​​the Rain Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom to expand by taking advantage of the opportunity has not been realized. There is no news from the Earth Kingdom either. Facing the Iron Kingdom and Danzo, the Lightning Kingdom probably won't be able to gain much advantage either."

"The important thing now is to maintain the current advantage. If we can end the war, it will be a good thing for Konoha and the ninja world."

Utatane Koharu added: "But the Rain Country and the Wind Country not only failed to achieve their respective goals, but also lost a group of excellent ninjas. I'm afraid they won't give up so easily. If we want to end the war, we have to make them feel even more unacceptable pain and loss."

"But the most we, Konoha, can do is to establish ninja camps in several small countries around us to help them resist the invasion of the Rain Country and the Wind Country. If we want to continue to intervene in the wars of other countries and villages, we will deviate from Konoha's basic policy."

"I think our Konoha's current decision is the best. As long as the small countries around Konoha are not invaded and the war is not brought into the Fire Country, it would be best if we do not interfere in other battles in the ninja world." As the representative of the conservative forces, the Hyuga clan naturally does not want to meddle in other people's business.

"But given the current situation, it is not easy for Konoha to remain unscathed in the ninja world. After the ceasefire between the Rain Country and the Wind Country, there is still a certain possibility that they will join forces to deal with our Konoha. Otherwise, it is not realistic for them to invade the Grass Country and the River Country." The head of the Uchiha clan is inclined to take the initiative and defeat them one by one.

"But although we have gained a certain advantage in the battlefields of River Country and Grass Country, the losses of the ninja troops are not small. If we have a head-on conflict with Rain Country and Wind Country, the result may not be what we want to see or what we can accept."

I watched the heated discussions among the people in the hall, and it was still the conservative ninjas who made up the majority. After all, the Fire Nation occupied the most central and fertile land in the ninja world and did not have an extremely strong desire or need for expansion.

Moreover, as the largest country in the ninja world, Konoha, which claims to be the guardian of peace in the ninja world, is just in helping the Grass Kingdom and the River Kingdom resist invasion, but it is difficult to occupy the moral high ground by actively attacking the Rain Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had been silently listening to the various opinions of the ninjas in the hall. In fact, there were only three options. One was to take the initiative, using the River Country and the Grass Country as a springboard to launch a war against the Wind Country and the Rain Country's homeland, and keep the initiative firmly in his own hands.

The second is to keep the previous strategy unchanged and deploy ninja troops in the Land of Grass and the Land of Rivers to help the two countries resist the invasion of the Land of Rain and the Land of Rivers, avoid losing the strategic buffer between the major powers, and ultimately pose a direct threat to the Land of Fire.

The third is that the previous wars, whether in terms of casualties or outcomes, have already demonstrated Konoha's strength and attitude. There is no need to continue participating in the Ninja World War. The ninja troops stationed abroad can be recalled to protect the security of the Land of Fire.

After everyone in the hall had expressed their opinions, Sarutobi Hiruzen concluded: "According to everyone's opinions, it seems that the majority of ninjas support maintaining the original strategy."

"But the Uchiha clan leader's opinion is not wrong. It's time to show a tougher attitude of Konoha. I have an idea." After a slight pause, Sarutobi Hiruzen added.

"The ninja troops led by Jiraiya and the other two will continue to be deployed in the Land of Grass. Hatake Sakumo will not move for the time being and will still be on guard against the Sand Ninja in the Land of Rivers. However, they cannot ignore the borders that directly border the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind."

"In order to prevent the Rain Country and the Wind Country from taking risks and directly invading the Fire Country, and to show a tougher attitude, we can send another ninja unit to the border of the three countries. The number and strength need to put a certain amount of pressure on the Rain Ninja and the Sand Ninja."

"I suggest that Akimichi Norifuge select some ninjas from the jonin corps and rush here as commanders. We don't need to actually start a war, but we need to put some pressure on the two countries. The balance needs to be carefully measured."
