In the Konoha Hokage Building, the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzai stood in front of the window and looked out at the scenery outside. On the desk behind him was a letter from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
In the letter, the daimyo expressed his concern about the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain. Seeing that the war has been fought for two years and has not been won, he is very afraid that Konoha will be defeated. Then the Kingdom of Fire will face huge war reparations and a series of Unequal treaties.
The daimyo's letter was very tactful, but his attitude was somewhat ambiguous, especially in some sentences, he could feel his dissatisfaction with Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen could sense what this dissatisfaction represented.
In fact, Konoha's position as Hokage has something to do with the daimyo of the country of fire.
If the daimyo jumped out to demand the abolition of his third Hokage, and with the support of Danzo and other elders and advisors, he is likely to be beaten to the end.
Fortunately, the two battlefields in the Kingdom of the Rain are going well. Orochimaru and Nara Shikuhisa blocked Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja brilliantly. According to the information he has, the balance of victory in the war is tilting towards him every day, and he won. Just a matter of time!
So he will always sit firmly in the position of Hokage.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi turned around and burned the letter from the daimyo.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared.
"Master Hokage!"
The person who came had gray hair and an old face, it was Sakumo Hatake, the leader of the dark army.
"Sakumo." Hiruzaru Sarutobi sat down, and as soon as a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he found that Hatake Sakumo's face was very serious. He couldn't help but restrain his smile and asked solemnly, "What happened? Cloud ninja invasion!?"
He doesn't worry much about the Rain Country battlefield, the only thing he worries about now is the cloud ninja in the north!
"It's worse than this!" Hatake Sakumo said slowly.
Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes slowly: "Could it be that Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja put Tailed Beasts in the Rain Country battlefield?"
In order to maintain the "peace" of the five hidden villages, the Hokage of the early generation divided the eight-tailed beasts except the nine tails equally among the four hidden villages, so as to maintain the armament of each village, fear each other, and maintain peace.
But after the tailed beasts are divided, war is still inevitable!
If Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja really put Tailed Beasts on the battlefield, then Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...do you want Kushina to enter the battlefield?
Hiruzaru Sarutobi hesitated a bit.
But what he didn't expect was that Hatake Sakumo still shook his head: "It's not about the tail beast, it's about... the eastern coastal area!"
"Eastern coast..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi reacted very quickly, and realized something almost instantly, his lips trembled uncontrollably, "You, you mean..."
"Hi!" Hatake Sakumo looked up, "We found traces of Kirinin's activities!"
This is indeed worse news than Yun Ren going south.
In the last ninja war, Hidden Kirigami has been shrunk by the sea, but no one can deny their powerful influence.
According to the script of Sarutobi Hiruzen, it is to defeat Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja with absolute strength on the battlefield of the Land of Rain, so as to deter Cloud Ninja from invading. But if Kirigakure Village declares war on Konoha at this time, then Cloud Shinobu will definitely make trouble.
At that time, Konoha will be at war with the Four Great Nations and the Four Great Ninja Villages at the same time!
A picture appeared in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, a picture of an irritable Kyuubi standing outside Konoha Village, fighting with other eight tails!
His face turned pale: "It's confirmed!"
Hatake Sakumo nodded: "It has been confirmed! They are collecting information about our war with Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja, and they should be preparing to invade our country!"
"Bastard!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi was furious, "Damn it, **** it, Kirinin!"
"Hokage-sama, if Mist Ninja invades, Anbe may not be able to resist." Hatake Sakumo pondered.
Now the combat power invested in the two battlefields of the Land of Rain is almost 70% to 80% of the power under Hiruzaru Sarutobi's hands. He now has only one Anbe left in his hand, but Anbe alone is obviously unable to fight against Mist Ninja!
Of course Sarutobi Hiruzen knew this, but Konoha was not incapable of fighting. There were still many powerful forces in the village!
For example, the Uchiha clan, such as the Hyuga clan, some of these wealthy clans must be elite ninjas. If they can all be activated, it is not a problem to resist the fog ninja!
No, not just resisting, they must fight against Mist Ninja strongly on the battlefield, so as to make Northern Cloud Ninja fearful and prevent them from easily "adding insult to injury"!
In this way, the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan and the families that depend on them must mobilize all ninjas!
But the question is, how to make these wealthy families willing to use him?
The Uchiha clan kept guarding the police force when Sand Shinobi declared war, and the Hyuga clan lived in seclusion, and they could not see half a person on weekdays. Moreover, their clan and divisions were deeply entrenched, and they wanted to let the ninjas of the clan It is even more difficult to go to the battlefield at the risk of losing the blood succession limit!
Without enough benefits, Hiruzaru Sarutobi don't want them to fight against Mist Ninja at all!
Then he thought of Danzo again, and thought of the root in his hand.
For a moment, his scalp was dizzy, and he couldn't find any point to break the game.
"Hokage-sama?" Hatake Sakumo was a little worried about Sarutobi Hiruzen's body.
"I'm getting old, I'm running out of energy." Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled wryly, and said, "Send someone to find Xiaochun, Kadoyan, and Danzo, and I want to discuss it with them."
Soon, Zhuanju Xiaochun, Mitomen Yan and Danzo came hand in hand.
"Ri Zhan, why are you calling us here in such a hurry?" Xiaochun asked straight to the point.
Danzo's right eye was wrapped in a white bandage, and he looked a little embarrassed, but the sneer at the corner of his mouth made him full of heroic temperament.
Danzo said slowly: "Isn't it about the War in the Land of Rain?" His tone fluctuated a bit.
The root ninja he sent to support Hanzang to suppress Xiaoxiao's organization has returned, and brought back a lot of news there.
For example, Yahiko's death, such as Nagato's eyes of reincarnation He is very jealous, but even Hanzo, who is known as the demigod of the ninja world, escaped from the eyes of reincarnation, and he dare not provoke him at this stage.
He was a little worried that Nagato would come to the battlefield with the eyes of reincarnation and interfere in the Three Kingdoms War. That would be very bad for him!
Hiruzaru Sarutobi took a few puffs of his pipe, puffed out the clouds for a while, and then said solemnly: "It's about Kirinin. Anbu found traces of their activities in the Land of Fire."
"Nani?!" Zhuanzuan Xiaochun and Mitomen Yan paled in shock, looked at each other and hurriedly asked for detailed information.
Looking back at Danzo, a gleam suddenly flashed in his one eye.
Mist ninja is going to invade the land of fire?
awesome!
At this time, what will Hiruzaru Sarutobi do against Mist Ninja?
Thoughts flashed through Danzo's mind, and he came up with an idea to break the game almost instantly!
Of course, it was his 'dream' that was broken!
