Naruto's Stormy Seas

Chapter 195
The meeting room is still the same meeting room, but what makes the high-level officials who come here feel a little uncomfortable is that there is an extra seat on the long table representing the top of Konoha's power.

Looking at Qingyang sitting in the middle, it is conceivable that the elders of the Konoha clan felt uncomfortable.

Since the five kingdoms of wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth have entered a period of peace as a whole, the main contradictions in each ninja village have also shifted from the outside to the inside.After experiencing a catastrophe and a major reshuffle, Konoha's sharp contradictions have not been alleviated. On the contrary, the vigilance of the various clans has become higher and higher.After all, even Konoha's universal value of "benevolence" will appear fragile in the face of invisible political struggles and practical interests.

In the former Tsunade era, it was better to have the master Ninjutsu doctor hanging high, but now it seems that the original balance is becoming more and more difficult to maintain...

"Master Wudai, I heard about it before I came here. Are we going to discuss how to use troops against Orochimaru today?"

The old god was sitting in his seat, and the elders of the Hyuga clan took the lead in asking questions.This is also a common practice. Generally, for meetings of this level, Hokage and all the consultants must meet first, and then bring it out for the big families to discuss.Therefore, under such circumstances, it is perfectly normal for the elders of the Hyuga clan to ask Hokage instead of the high-level aristocratic family.

"Um……"

Tsunade hummed first, but then said back.

"Elder Hinata, there is one point I want to emphasize. What we are going to discuss today is whether to use force, so it is too hasty to talk about 'how to use troops' now."

"Is that so..."

Hearing what Tsunade said, Elder Hinata pondered for a while, and then returned to his expressionless state, apparently noncommittal to Tsunade's words.

"What? Elder Hinata, do you have any questions?"

On the contrary, Tsunade seemed very strong at this meeting, and asked Elder Hinata on his own initiative.

"I don't dare to ask questions, but..."

Elder Hyuga paused for a moment, and then made a gesture of preparing for a long speech.

"As we all know, Orochimaru is a dangerous S-rank rebellious ninja. It can be said that he will never die! For example, in the last chaos, he brought huge losses to our village, and caused three generations of My lord's sacrifice! So I say: I think that dangerous elements like Orochimaru who are always lurking around us should be dealt with resolutely. We can't hesitate, we can't be soft! Especially in the current period when the external environment is relatively stable!"

After saying this, Elder Hinata excitedly knocked on the table with his knuckles, which attracted the attention of all the high-level officials.Even the elders of other aristocratic families who are familiar with the old man's temper are full of doubts. They don't know why Elder Hinata is so angry with Orochimaru suddenly that he wants to openly fire at a meeting of this level.

"Elder, what you said is indeed reasonable, but it didn't come in a hurry. The village has just stabilized, so launching a large-scale military operation in such a hurry will make people's hearts fluctuate, and it will easily put us at a strategic disadvantage."

Shikajiu, who was the chief of staff, spoke at this time. As a think tank, sometimes it is necessary to stand up and speak for Hokage like this.In fact, this meeting was only held today because Tsunade waited for Lu Jiu to return to the village so that she could have a favor.

"Yes, yes, this is still worthy of our consideration..."

Elder Nara answered the words very sharply. Although Shikahisa, who was serving as a staff officer, did not appear at this table as the speaker of the Nara clan, but they belonged to the Hokage faction, and they naturally wanted to speak to Hokage.So after seeing Lu Jiu's speech, Elder Nara immediately beat the side drum.

"cough…"

A far-reaching cough suddenly interrupted Elder Nara's words, it was Danzo who couldn't tell whether the one-eyed eye was open or closed.

"You can't say that. We can all see the threat of Orochimaru, so we must not let him grow stronger! Besides, Yunyin is also consistent with us on this matter, so we should be more positive. .As the saying goes, changes come later, and it would be bad if Yunyin changed the regulations after a while. At the same time, looking at Orochimaru, I really can’t figure out how he can survive with a small force against the two major groups.”

Danzo's words were extremely skillful, he directly skipped what Elder Nara said and put forward his own opinion, avoiding the matter of "whether Shikahisa's words are worth considering".

But Elder Hinata was not so eager to express his opinion after hearing Danzo's support for his views.The reason is very simple, that is the thorn in the Hyuga clan left by the original "Thunder Country Messenger Case": Back then, Yunin came to Konoha under the banner of concluding a covenant, but the real purpose was to kidnap the eldest lady of the Hyuga family.How could this bad behavior of stealing other people's blood make Hinata let go of his cooperation with Yunyin.

But obviously Danzo also thought of this. Of course, he didn't point out that he and the Hyuga family were mutual aid at this meeting, but continued to express his opinions.

"It can be concluded that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. If we don't seize this opportunity and wait for such an opportunity, we don't know what time it will be. Ninjas have never been people who do great things and spare their lives. If It really hurts to be held back by the slightest risk.

Therefore, we must show the spirit of the lion fighting the rabbit at this time, and go all out to destroy Orochimaru with the power of thunder!I, Shimura Danzo, hereby make a statement, requesting to be appointed as the commander-in-chief to take charge of all the important actions against Orochimaru, and strive to wipe out Orochimaru in the shortest possible time! "

"Om..."

Danzo's words caused an uproar in the conference room, and no one thought that he would be so tough.

"Quiet!"

Tsunade must make a statement in this chaotic moment to restore the order of the meeting.

"It's too early to say these things! It's just a discussion stage now, and everyone sitting here can put forward their own suggestions, but the final decision still needs to be discussed in the long run!"

"..."

"That's right, Lord Five Dynasties' words are very reasonable. Adviser Danzo's advice does have a lot of bias."

At this moment Elder Hinata spoke again.

"First of all, in our Konoha status, there is absolutely no need to cooperate with the wolfish and ambitious Yun Yin. On the contrary, I think that as long as we, the Hyuga Clan, take up this burden, the problem can be solved. The ninjas of the Hyuga Clan have always been the most Great commander, as long as Hyuga leads the troops to believe that the fragile forces entrenched in Tanokuni will soon fall apart. So I suggest forming a ninja troop led by Hyuga elite ninjas, which can be done in the shortest possible time Form combat power and get rid of Orochimaru!"

"!!!"

The shock caused by the high-level people was even stronger than Danzo's words before, and the keen high-level people immediately realized that Danzo and Elder Hyuga's intentions were the same: they both wanted to form a small military group headed by their own side!If this matter is done, the huge dividends can be imagined.At this point, everyone understands.Where and what Orochimaru are Danzo and Hinata targeting? !
Thinking of this, some people's minds began to grow grass.With so many benefits, who wouldn't want to get involved?
Qingyang, who has not spoken until now, looks coldly at the "adults" who are eager to try, and his heart is like a mirror. It seems that the benefits obtained after winning a national-level battle in the Ninja Department have made them feel Crisis, but also jealous.Today, the two old men, Danzo and Elder Hyuga, are planning to surround themselves in a roundabout way.Looking at those people again at this time, the corners of Qingyang's mouth twitched slightly.

"It's all starting to move around."
