"There is only one thing I have to tell you about the Hokage meeting today." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around the conference room and nodded to the Anbu leader standing beside him.

The fox-masked ANBU leader stepped forward and said to the ninjas in the meeting room: "We just received news from the border of the Rain Country today that the Rain Ninjas have invaded the surrounding Grass Country, River Country, and Bird Country on a large scale, and announced that if any ninjas try to stop them, it will be considered a declaration of war against the Rain Country."

As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room exploded. Although everyone knew that the ninja world had been undercurrents recently and was not peaceful, especially Hanzo of the Salamander, who had the title of demigod of the ninja world, had long been dissatisfied with the status of the five major countries and wanted to fight for a higher status for the Rain Country.

But simultaneously invading three small neighboring countries and threatening war against the Wind Kingdom, the Earth Kingdom, and the Fire Kingdom was completely unexpected.

"Too arrogant, who does Hanzo think he is? Does he really think he is the god of the ninja world?"

"The Rain Ninjas have been making small moves over the past few years, and now they dare to threaten us. I think it's time to teach them a lesson."

"But after all, the Rain Ninja did not declare war on our Konoha, so it's not a good idea to start a war directly like this."

"Yeah, the ninja world has been at peace for decades, is war going to start again?"

Because the news was rather sudden, people were talking about it, but overall, as the largest country and the largest village in the ninja world, the clan leaders and senior ninjas of Konoha were not afraid of fighting, and most of the participants tended to teach the Rain Village a lesson.

Among them, Danzo Shimura of the Root was the most radical: "Does Hanzo of the Salamander think that he can intimidate us with his title as a demigod in the ninja world? He even wants to declare war on us? That's ridiculous. In my opinion, we should declare war before him to let the ninja world know that Konoha is still the strongest in the ninja world."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his old friend Danzo Shimura with some headache. As a hard-line hawk in Konoha, his attitude was tough and his strategy was radical as expected.

However, as the Third Hokage, the successor to the Will of Fire, and an eyewitness to the First Ninja World War, Sarutobi Hiruzen was unwilling to drag Konoha Village into the quagmire of war.

However, as the leader of the largest village in the ninja world, it would definitely not be in Konoha's interests and reputation to remain indifferent when provoked by ninjas from other villages.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around the conference room, then turned around and discussed with his two advisors, Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu, and then made a decision.

"Well, although the provocation of the Rain Ninja is indeed irritating, after all, they have not officially declared war on our Konoha, nor have they invaded our Konoha borders. It is not appropriate to directly declare war on the Rain Ninja."

Sarutobi Hiruzen cast his eyes on Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru below him: "But the situation at the border is indeed quite bad, and we have to be on guard. I have decided to send elite jonin Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru as the Hokage task force to be stationed at the border of the Rain Country to guard against Rain Ninjas and stabilize the situation."

Sarutobi Hiruzen then told the three men: "We don't want to start a war, but we are not afraid of it. I grant you the authority to deal with it as the situation demands. We will set out tomorrow."

"Yes." x3.

Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru accepted the order, and although the others in the conference room had different ideas, they stopped discussing after the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen had made a decision and nodded in acceptance.

"Although we won't start a war for the time being, we still have to prepare in advance." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo: "The Root and Anbu ninjas must prioritize the Rain Country and obtain intelligence in a timely manner so that Tsunade and others can make the right judgment."

"Don't worry, I will arrange it myself." Danzo did not object again. After all, the ninjutsu doctor Sarutobi Hiruzen was now in his peak form, and Danzo did not have any other inappropriate thoughts.

"Ninjas on missions outside can be recalled in batches in case of emergency to deal with possible wars." Sarutobi Hiruzen gave instructions to the captain of Konoha's jonin and the captain of chunin. After all, chunin and jonin are the backbone of the battlefield.

"The barrier squad and patrol team must be vigilant and do a good job of daily patrol and maintenance to prevent foreign invasion." Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to make arrangements.

"There are also Konohagakure's Genin and Chunin exams. We can prepare for them in advance. If a war breaks out, we will need a steady supply of troops."

In the world of Naruto, it is very normal to go to the battlefield in your teens. If you are gifted, you can become famous on the battlefield before you are ten years old and make your enemies tremble in fear, so no one objects to this.

"Well, the current situation in the ninja world is not peaceful. Although we do not want to start a war, we must make necessary preparations, especially you." Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to explain to Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru: "Being on the border between the two countries, you must adapt to the situation and do your best to safeguard the interests of Konoha."

"Yes, Hokage." The three stopped laughing and agreed with a serious look.

As a student of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and possessing the strength of an elite jonin, most ninjas would feel more at ease with Tsunade and the other two guarding the border.

"Okay, let's end today's meeting here. Everyone should prepare seriously when they go back." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around and announced the end of the meeting.

"Yes, Lord Hokage." Many clan leaders and jonin in the conference room agreed in unison, and Konoha, the strongest war beast in the ninja world, began to slowly wake up.
