Konoha: Who is the good person?

The group entered the conference room shortly after.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, wearing his Hokage robes, entered the conference room with a grave expression.

He glanced around at the two advisors and the Hokage assistant seated on either side of the head seat.

He silently counted the remaining department heads and core Jonin.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived.

He immediately walked to the head seat and sat down, addressing everyone with a serious face.

"Everyone, war is coming!"

The Konoha executives and department heads present had already anticipated the situation in the ninja world, so they were not surprised by the news.

However, everyone's expression, like the Third Hokage's, became solemn.

No one likes war.

Once a war starts, their relatives, friends, and children may lose their lives due to involvement in the war.

Who would want to see such a thing?

"According to intelligence, the Cloud Village has already dispatched two thousand elite ninjas to engage in a full-scale war with the Mist Village in the Land of Sea. The Mist Village also has over two thousand ninjas participating in the battle. The environment of the Land of Sea is unique..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi began by talking about the situation of the Cloud and Mist Villages' battle.

The actions of these two ninja villages were extremely swift. From the preparation of supplies to the direct engagement, it took less than twenty days.

Even though this war was secretly instigated by Konoha.

Their side had the advantage of foresight, but the speed at which this war was launched clearly showed that both sides had secretly prepared to launch a war long ago!

More importantly...

Two thousand ninja troops may seem like a lot, but for both sides, it is far from their full strength!

Unlike the Mist Village, which has always pursued secrecy, making it difficult for intelligence to leak out, Hiruzen Sarutobi knows very well about the development of the Cloud Village in recent years.

They still have a large amount of available combat power that has not been投入ed into the battlefield. What are they planning to do?

Defend against attacks from other ninja villages?

Or is there another plan?

The Mist Village, there is too little intelligence, but they are obviously planning other things as well.

Otherwise, why would they attack Hanzō of the Rain Village!

"The Sand Village has currently stopped issuing various missions, a large amount of war物资 has also been调集ed, and all ninjas are on standby in the village..."

"The Rock Village does not seem to have large-scale personnel movements, but according to intelligence, they have recently had many more escort missions for merchant groups. The intelligence department speculates that they may be secretly押送ing物资 to the border..."

This blame, can't we throw it however we want.

"Regardless of whether it was done by the Mist Village or not, the Sand Village has been拖住脚步, and the focus should be on guarding against the Rock Village!"

Koharu Utatane then spoke.

Previously, the Sand and Mist Villages were fighting fiercely.

Logically speaking, if the Mist and Cloud Villages go to war, as long as the Sand Village executives still remember the previous events, they will definitely进军 directly to the Mist Village from the sea.

But now, Hanzō of the Rain Village suddenly died in an attack. No matter how冲动 the Sand Village is, they must consider whether the Rock and Konoha Villages will捅 them in the back.

"Send an envoy to negotiate with Ōnoki to delay the other party's脚步吧."

Homura Mitokado pondered for a long time before offering his suggestion.

The Rock Village is also led by a武斗派当家.

Moreover, according to intelligence, the Rock Village's finances have experienced a rather serious problem.

In the current chaotic situation, launching a war is the fastest way to transfer the financial burden.

If war is unavoidable.

Under the guise of negotiation,探听 intelligence and delay the other party's脚步, Konoha may have more time to prepare.

"Unrealistic."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head.

He could already foresee that the Rock Village would definitely be impatient and launch a war first.

Moreover, the target they want to hit must be Konoha!

After all...

The Sand Village is too poor!

Sending a Konoha executive over to negotiate at this time, isn't that sending intelligence to the other party?

Yamanaka Kei sat upright in the middle of the conference table, subtly giving Nara Shikaku and others a look, along with the Uchiha clan.

Danzo, played by White Zetsu, also brought a few武斗派 who were inclined to主动开战, and began to exert their strength in the meeting.

The meeting, which had not made any substantial progress for half a day, began to advance significantly.

After a series of arguments between Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi, the main theme of this high-level meeting was basically set according to Yamanaka Kei's idea.

Don't be the first to出手, but give a雷霆 counterattack to whoever dares to出手!

"We have already整合ed the logistics物资 once, immediately separate a portion and start transporting it to the front line first."

"Nara Shikaku and Mura Hayate, start drafting the personnel list, the advance force...one thousand people."

"One thousand people? Hiruzen, unless you personally go to the front line to oversee, who can you震慑."

"One thousand people is an attitude, showing that we are not afraid of war, but if I personally go over, what will the other ninja villages think? They probably have to fight even if they don't want to."

"Heh~ I only see weakness."

"Danzo, you are too extreme!"

Accompanied by shouts of arguments.

The high-level meeting, which lasted for several hours, finally came to an end near twelve o'clock at midnight.

One order after another began to be issued successively after Hiruzen Sarutobi inquired about the situation of various departments and ninja clans.

A thousand ninja troops is indeed not many.

But this is not starting a war, it is just showing their attitude to the surrounding ninja villages.

屯兵ing on the border of the Land of Fire.

With Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, leading the team, plus the elites drawn from various ninja clans, even if they are really突袭ed, they can temporarily delay the other party's offensive.

At that time, Konoha, relying on its abundant war reserves, can completely迅速 dispatch a large force of more than three thousand people for support while leaving sufficient reserve forces.

Even if the Sand Village wants to趁火打劫, Konoha is not afraid of fighting on two fronts.

Just...

Fighting on two fronts?

Yamanaka Kei微微撇了撇嘴 when he walked out of the conference room door.

In the Third Ninja World War, Konoha fought with other ninja villages one by one. It would be nice if you didn't丫 fight on four fronts at the same time.

Still fighting on two fronts, what good things do you want!

"However...Third Hokage啊..."

The corner of Yamanaka Kei's eye隐晦的扫过 the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Although he has not completely become the kind of old man who is cautious in doing things and maintains stability in everything, like when the original plot began more than ten years later.

But after all, he is old!

He has intentionally or unintentionally begun to打压 the ninja clans who want to get ahead and the family ninjas with strong strength.

Let this guy have a decent退场吧.

Shadow of a village.

How can anyone live to 69 years old and be宰ed by his own disciple.

It's embarrassing to say it!

唰~!

A Root ninja appeared beside Yamanaka Kei with a瞬身术.

Bowing and bending over, he handed over the intelligence scroll in his hand.

"Most love cupping?"

Yamanaka Kei's brain木了一下 when he looked at the four big characters on the scroll cover.

Then he realized where this intelligence came from.
