Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

Akimichi Torikaze is a member of the elite guard of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, and a member of the Akimichi clan who masters the secret technique of multiplication. Although he is not as famous as Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, people who are familiar with him know that he has strength comparable to that of a Kage.

Therefore, if he led the troops to the border between the Rain Country and the Wind Country, he could put great pressure on the Rain Ninja and the Sand Ninja, and also ensure the safety of the Fire Country's homeland.

Different from his fat and bloated appearance, among the six elite guards directly under the Second Hokage, Akimichi Tofu acts as a think tank. Therefore, when dealing with the relationship among the three countries, he can better grasp the degree, and Sarutobi Hiruzen is more at ease.

This was the first time I saw Akimichi Tofu. He looked exactly like the members of the Akimichi clan I remembered, wearing a green ninja vest, a fat and round body, and a dark brown hedgehog hairstyle.

Although Akimichi Tofu doesn't have many roles in the original work, as the elite guard directly under the Second Hokage, I still have some understanding of him.

The Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, was surrounded by six ninjas who were both his bodyguards and his students. They were Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Utainen Koharu, Mito Kado Homura, Uchiha Kagami and Akimichi Torikaze. Except for Uchiha Kagami who had already died, the other five could be said to be high-level people who controlled the direction of Konoha's development.

When these six people were with Senju Tobirama, they were usually divided into three groups to take turns on duty. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo were one group, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were one group, and Akimichi Torikaze and Uchiha Kagami were one group.

I have heard about the deeds of Akimichi Tofu from Shinichi. As Shinichi is a direct descendant of Uchiha Kagami, Akimichi Tofu often visited his family and gave Shinichi guidance in his practice from time to time.

According to Shinichi's description, Akimichi Norifuze undoubtedly has the strength of a Kage, and the Akimichi clan's secret technique of multiplying the physical skills is also terrifying. It can be said that he complements Uchiha Kagami, who is good at eye techniques and illusion techniques. Although he is not well-known in the ninja world, his strength is not inferior to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo.

Although it seemed that Sarutobi Hiruzen's statement was a compromise, Akimichi Tofu also agreed with Sarutobi Hiruzen's proposal: "Continuing to fight with the Rain and Sand Ninjas will not be worth the loss for us Konoha, and we will not gain much benefit at all."

"But the Kingdom of Grass and the Kingdom of Rivers serve as a buffer between the Kingdom of Fire and the other major nations, and they cannot sit idly by and watch the two countries being invaded. I think Hiruzen's proposal is very correct. We should focus on defensive deterrence, supplemented by direct combat. When the Rain and Sand Ninjas are unable to continue, it will be time to end the war."

In fact, with the current strength and reputation of the middle-aged Sarutobi Hiruzen, his supporters in Konoha can be said to be overwhelming. Following Akimichi Torikaze's statement, the senior ninjas in the hall expressed their agreement one after another.

For Akimichi Torikaze, who is currently the captain of the jonin corps, it becomes very simple and quick to recruit the accompanying jonin. Akimichi Torikaze selected the Konoha Second Jonin Squadron and the Fifth Jonin Squadron, which were currently resting in the village, and went to the border of the three countries with him.

Compared with ordinary armies, the ninjas' execution and efficiency are very high. From the time the decision was made in the Jonin Hall to the time Akimichi Torifu led two squadrons of Jonin to leave Konoha and head to the border, it took no more than two hours.

Compared to the hurried coming and going of Akimichi Tofu and the two Jonin squadrons, I don't need to rush back to Konoha this time. Sarutobi Hiruzen has arranged for the Anbu ninja to go to the Land of Grass to convey the decisions of this Jonin meeting, so I don't need to make another trip.

After the jonin meeting, Sarutobi Hiruzen signaled me not to leave yet, and took me to the Hokage's office: "Although the Rain and Sand Ninjas did not both suffer losses this time, it can be said that both were seriously injured, so the pressure on the border between the Grass Country and the River Country should not be too great."

Sarutobi Hiruzen groaned and said, "On the contrary, it is the Lightning Country. Danzo has a tough attitude. Although there is the Iron Country blocking in front, I am afraid it is still powerless against the Lightning Country."

"Although Konoha is not actively participating in the war now, it needs to station troops on all sides. Therefore, without the information that the Lightning Country is going to invade the Fire Country, it is difficult to transfer ninjas to that place."

"What does Hokage mean?" I have no objection to going to the Land of Iron, but it's a pity that I originally wanted to observe the growth of Nagato Yahiko and the other two in the Land of Rain.

However, Minato is currently with Danzo, participating in the battle between the Land of Iron and the Land of Lightning. I also want to see the ninjutsu of the Cloud Ninja again. It should be inspiring for my future training direction.

"With your current strength, you are more powerful than most of the jonin in the village. The Land of Lightning should not need a large force stationed there at the moment. It will be enough if the elite ninjas assist the samurai of the Land of Iron."

"But at present, apart from Danzo and the Root Ninja, Konoha does not have too much power to invest in it. We need you to go to the Land of Iron to assist Danzo's actions. It would be best if you can persuade him to avoid expanding the conflict with the Cloud Ninja."
