"...Oh! Looks like I'm busy again today." Nara Shikaku said as he sat in the middle of the room with a grimace. On his desk were piles of files piled high like a hill. , and that's not all, his assistant told him that there were more documents that could only be temporarily placed on the coffee table because they couldn't be stacked on the table.

This is the office belonging to the [Jounin Class].

For the Jonin Class, even in the village, most people only know that there seems to be such a department, but they do not understand what this department does. Simply judging from the name, the work of this department is the same as that of the Jonin Class. Tolerance is related.

The fact is exactly the same,

The Jonin Class was originally established by the Second-generation Hokage. After the First Ninja War broke out, Senju Tobirama felt that it was slow to mobilize troops from different departments and formed the Jonin Class to unify control. The number and general information of the jounin in the village can be achieved to quickly send troops to the battlefield.

Therefore,

Even though the position of Jonin squad leader is inconspicuous, it is a typical position of inferiority and power. Especially during wartime, the jounin squad with the support of the Hokage has more power than all departments. It can be customized according to the needs of the battlefield. Each department dispatched suitable jounin to participate in the war.

And now,

This is what Nara Shikaku is doing.

"Squad leader, do you want to inform my sister-in-law in advance?"

The deputy squad leader sitting behind a desk not far from Nara Shikaku joked that Nara Shikaku's 'tracheitis' was not a secret in this department, but no one looked down on their immediate boss because of this. The people sitting in this office are all smart people without exception. Since they are smart people, they naturally understand how smart their immediate boss's brain is.

"Well... let's see later! If you move more quickly, maybe you can barely catch up!"

Nara Shikaku sighed.

He was already very busy when the war broke out with the Mist Ninja some time ago. After finally defeating the Mist Ninja, he thought he could rest for a while, but the non-stop bastards of the Cloud Ninja jumped out to cause trouble again, although this situation was not entirely complete. It was unforeseen, but it was still a bit frustrating when it actually happened.

"The situation of the Northeastern Border Guard Force is not optimistic!"

Someone sighed.

The list of dead jounin from the front line was frightening.

Even in Konoha, there are only so many jounin. Unlike genin and chunin, which can be quickly replenished, the training of jonin is time-consuming and laborious, and is full of uncertainties along the way. There are not a few geniuses who die in the process. A ninja village The strength of a person is largely determined by the number of jounin.

"The Hyuga clan leader has already led the reinforcements to set off. With the support of the reinforcements, the situation on the front line should be stable, right?"

"It's hard to say! The intelligence that came back yesterday said that traces of the two-tailed Jinchuriki were found... If the Kumo ninja really puts the Jinchuriki into the battlefield, the frontline troops will not have the means to deal with the Jinchuriki."

Speaking of which,

Everyone fell silent.

Nara Shikaku did not stop the discussion among his subordinates. As an employee of the jounin class, these confidential information are well known in this office. There is no point in forcibly stopping it. The important thing is not to leak the information.

"It's a pity that our Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is still useless!"

After a moment of silence, someone sighed again.

The five-year-old Kyuubi Jinchuuriki will be five or six years away from being useful at the earliest. If the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki of this generation are less qualified, it may take even longer before they can be used in the war. Such distant water cannot quench the village's near thirst.

"Speaking of which, squad leader, Lord Jiraiya is in the village recently. Why don't you ask Lord Jiraiya to preside over the war with the Kumo ninja?"

Someone couldn't help but finally asked the question that had been weighing on his mind for a long time.

Jiraiya has been in the village for some time. At first, very few people knew about his return. However, as he wandered around the streets and alleys to inquire about news, more and more people witnessed his whereabouts. Soon, the news It spread, and the ninjas in the village generally knew the news of Jiraiya's return.

but,

This time the Kumo ninja went south, but Jiraiya still stayed in the village without making any move.

Many people were confused about this. Many people in the village thought that Jiraiya had foreseen that a war would break out between the Kumo ninja and the village before returning to the village. As a result, Jiraiya had not made any movement until now, so they were confused. Very normal situation.

"Jiraiya-sama has other important matters. Okay, don't be nagging anymore. Just concentrate on doing your job. Someone is worried about the war on the front line, so don't let me take care of you." Nara Shikaku He stepped on the brakes in time and did not allow this topic to continue unbridled.

Jiraiya-sama’s matter,

It’s quite troublesome!

Until now, he has not said whether he wants to succeed the Fifth Hokage. Mr. Torifu can only continue to sit awkwardly on the chair. Because of the war with Kumo Shinobi, he has not had a good rest in the past few days. The front line The war, which is not optimistic, puts great pressure on people, and the situation in the village is also irritating.

It’s not just Jiraiya’s matter. The Uchiha clan chief has led a group of masters to not return, and there is no one available in the village. When Nara Shikaku made suggestions for Mr. Feng, it was really difficult to make a meal without rice. It can only be said that Hinata and Hinashi were mobilized, and as many troops as possible were mobilized from all parties and sent to the front line of Yuno Country.

Difficulties both internally and externally are a true reflection of Konoha's current situation.

"I hope the Iwa ninja can attack later!"

Nara Shikaku couldn't help but sigh again.

If the trouble only ends here, Huaneng can barely cope with it, but the spy planted in Iwagakure Village reports that the Iwanin is ready to make a move. The Sandaime Tsuchikage Two Scales Onoki seems to have echoed the intention of the Kumonin to go south to attack Konoha, although so far the cunning old fox Haven't really started yet.

But as long as Konoha cannot quickly and resolutely repel the Kumo ninja invasion,

Sooner or later, the Iwa ninja will take advantage of the situation.

"President Nara, Hokage-sama invites you."

Anbu wearing a mask appeared at Nara Shikaku's desk without knocking. To be precise, the office door was still closed!The ANBU directly used the earth escape technique to sink from the ceiling. Such a rude move did not cause Nara Shikaku's displeasure.

The freedom to walk through most of the rooms in the Hokage Building was originally the power of ANBU.

That is to say, there are only a few places such as the Hokage's office that the ANBU cannot enter and exit at will.

"I see."

Nara Shikaku put down the pen in his hand, sighing inwardly that it looked like he wouldn't be able to go home on time today, and he would have to work overtime.He stood up, told the deputy squad leader to maintain discipline, and then followed the ANBU out of the room to the Hokage's office.

······

"Hokage-sama, what happened?"

Coming to the Hokage's office, these were Nara Shikaku's first words.

"It's a reply from the Uchiha clan leader."

Akimichi took advantage of the wind and fluttered the letter in his hand.

"The Uchiha clan leader has already set off to go back, and the ones who came back are not only more than 100 jounin, but also 1000 or two hundred mist ninjas. There is not a single genin among them, they are all masters above chunin." The old man excitedly talked to Nara Shikaku shared his good mood.

"1000 or two hundred fog ninjas of chuunin or above level?"

Nara Shikaku's frown relaxed slightly, "This is indeed good news!"

To be honest, the 1000 to [-] Mist ninjas cannot be said to be useless, but such a small force cannot be said to be able to reverse the situation. However, what Nara Shikaku is interested in is not the number of Mist ninja reinforcements, but the fact that the Mist ninjas did send reinforcements. This fact only needs to be publicized about the alliance between Konoha and Kiri Ninja, which is enough to put pressure on Kumo Ninja and Iwa Ninja.

The brains of smart people move so fast.

Mr. Qiudao Qifeng is still happy about the reinforcements of 1000 or [-] people!

Konoha's current military strength is really stretched. He demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall. He simply copied Munexun's old practice and squeezed a group of troops from Sarutobi, Shimura, Mitomon and other families, but these families are about the same. They have really been squeezed out. Unless they plan to completely wipe out these families, there is no way to squeeze out more money.

But we can't exploit the Sarutobi, Shimura and other families.

It is necessary to recruit troops from other families. Such an offending job... The Fifth Generation Acting Hokage doesn't really want to do it!It would be fine if he were the real Hokage. Even if he had to bear a little notoriety for the sake of the village, it would be okay. However, he was not the real Hokage, he was just a temporary worker.

This greatly discouraged him from working.

He doesn't want to involve his family because of his relationship.

"Also, the Uchiha clan leader has dispatched Uchiha Shisui, Aburame Shiguro, Inuzuka Jaw, Akimichi Donato and others directly to the country of Yu to support the frontline troops." Akimichi Torifu continued to talk about what was mentioned in the letter. thing, and asked Nara Shikaku for his opinion, "Shikaku, do you think there is a problem with doing this?"

"no problem."

Nara Shikaku shook his head slightly, "The decision of the Uchiha clan leader is reasonable. The situation on the front line is indeed not very optimistic. It would be good to have a little more strength at this time, especially Aburame Shiguro. He can do it alone." With a hundred-man team on top, even if they can't repel the Mist Ninja, they can still delay as much time as possible.

Waiting for time until the Uchiha clan leader returns with the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

In addition to Master Jiraiya who is currently staying in the village, as long as these internal problems in the village are solved, there will naturally be enough power to deal with the invasion of Kumo Ninja and Iwa Ninja.

"Alas!! I hope the Uchiha leader can come back soon."

The Fifth Generation Acting Hokage sighed softly.

Akimichi Torifu missed Uchiha Munexun very much and the jonins of the Uchiha clan who were taken away by Uchiha Munexun. Regardless of how unpleasant the Uchiha clan was, when the war really broke out, the Uchiha family's Pinkeyes are your most reliable allies.
