Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch Uchiha Zongxian

"Dealing with the Iwa Ninja? It's a headache!" Jiraiya scratched his head in distress, "Those stone heads are not easy to deal with! Especially the old man Onoki, the Dust Release thing is really tricky!" This was his experience gained from personal experience in World War II and World War III.

"Jiraiya, aren't you going to continue traveling?"

Qiu Daofeng asked.

"Well, it's only a matter of time before we embark on the journey, but since the village is in trouble now, it's not a big problem to postpone the trip." Jiraiya said frankly that there were no hard and fast rules for his journey. The prophecy did not impose any restrictions on his travels, and everything was as he wished.

Whether you keep going or stop to rest, it is all part of the journey.

"For the time being?"

Akimichi Tofaze sighed, and immediately cheered up. Even if he only stayed temporarily to help, Jiraiya's role would definitely be huge. He knew very well that Jiraiya's strength was definitely the top in Konoha, even if it was Sarutobi in his prime was probably not completely sure of defeating Jiraiya who was also in his prime.

"Forget it, even if it's just for a while, Jiraiya, lend me your power!"

Akimichi Kaifeng looked at Jiraiya.

"I will do anything for the sake of the village."

Jiraiya solemnly agreed, his expression serious and solemn, not at all absurd or improper as when he was peeping. His awe-inspiring temperament made people realize that this was the real 'Toad Sage' Jiraiya.

"Then... the commander-in-chief of the fight against the Iwa Ninja will be left to you." Akimichi Tofeng said seriously, but as soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Zongxian, and the seriousness on his face faded, which was quite difficult. He felt like opening his mouth, but he still said: "Mongxuan-kun, can those two thousand mist ninjas... be given to Jiraiya's command to resist the Iwa ninjas?"

Zongxian blinked,

Good guy,

No wonder it’s so hard to talk about!These two thousand Kirigakure are a considerable force in Konoha, which is currently short of troops. As reinforcements sent by the Kirito ninja, logically they should obey the Hokage's command, but the Kirigakure Village was controlled by Sogen. To suppress and obey, these two thousand Mist Ninjas were largely sent for Zong Xian's sake.

According to the previous action plan, these Mist Ninjas should follow Zong Xian northward to fight against the Cloud Ninjas.

This is to rob your own people!

"Assemble the Mist Ninja to fight against the Rock Ninja? Water Release Technique will suffer against Earth Release Technique." Zong Xian did not object directly. He didn't really care whether the two thousand Mist Ninja stayed or left. The presence or absence of these Mist Ninja would not affect him. When it comes to the battle with Kumo Ninja, his confidence in defeating Kumo Ninja is himself and Uchiha, not the two thousand Mist Ninja.

But if you want to take these two thousand mist ninjas from him, you can't do it without giving a justifiable reason.

"Shikaku, you explain."

Akimichi Tofaze once again threw the answer options to Nara Shikaku.

"Uchiha Clan Leader, based on the research conducted by me and other staff members, we speculate that based on the Sandaime Tsuchikage's behavior, he will not really go all out to attack from the beginning." Nara Shikaku said slowly, "Iwa Ninja In the past, I liked to watch the fire from the other side and take advantage of the situation. I guess I will sit back and watch the battle between us and the Cloud ninja, and will not easily leave the game to share the pressure for the Cloud ninja. It is more likely to wait until the war between us and the Cloud ninja has a clear direction."

"If we lose, Iwa Ninja will probably rush over to take a share of the pie. If Kumo Ninja is defeated by us, the target of Iwa Ninja's robbery will most likely become Kumo Ninja."

These are all old practices.

During the Third War, if the Iwa ninja had not attacked the Kumo ninja and killed the Sandaime Raikage, the Kumo ninja would not have withdrawn so quickly and given up the plan to invade the Land of Fire. You must know that it is different from the Sand ninja and Iwa ninja who were maimed and crippled by Konoha. The war between Ninja, Kumo Ninja and Konoha broke out relatively late. At that time, Konoha and Kumo Ninja were still in the early stages of the war, and the two sides had not yet fought a bloody battle.

At this moment,

Perhaps they had the idea of ​​not letting the Kumo ninja take advantage, and were worried that Konoha, after fighting against the Sand ninja, the Mist ninja, and the Iwa ninja, would not be able to stop the Kumo ninja's invasion. In the end, they worked hard and gave the Kumo ninja an advantage. Onoki suddenly He secretly plotted against the Cloud Ninja, killed the Sandaime Raikage at all costs, and helped Konoha repel the Cloud Ninja.

However, ending the war early also prevented the Kumo ninja from losing too much vitality in the three battles. This also gave the Kumo ninja the confidence to blackmail Konoha and even go south again now.

"So, you are going to use the Mist Ninja to scare the Iwa Ninja?"

Munesuru quickly understood the hidden meaning expressed by Nara Shikaku.

This confirms that Onoki is a loser. As long as Iwa Ninja realizes that Konoha is still the hard nut to crack, it will be enough for Onoki to give up the plan to start a war with Konoha. If Konoha can severely damage Kumo Ninja in the Country of Yu, he said Maybe the Iwa Ninja will not be able to take the cold blow and then give the Kumo Ninja a sap.

"That's right, the third generation Tsuchikage is so cunning and unprofitable that he will probably stop advancing when he sees the alliance between us and the Mist ninja. By then, as long as we gain a certain advantage in the war with the Kumo ninja, Iwa Ninja Ten There are eight or nine cases where they will completely give up and go south, and maybe the Iwa ninja will go east and attack the Kumo ninja again."

There is not much difference between Nara Shikaku's words and Sozuru's understanding.

but,

Zongxuan asked: "Captain Nara, you also said that the Third Tsuchikage might stop moving forward when he sees our alliance with the Mist Ninja. If he thinks that our Konoha is too strong, he will fight against the Kumo Ninja instead." What if the hearts join forces to weaken our Konoha?"

"This is impossible!"

Nara Shikaku said without thinking.

"Why not?"

"As long as the Sandaime Tsuchikage does not have Alzheimer's disease, it is impossible to think that our Konoha is so strong that we need to work with the Kumo ninja to weaken us. To put it bluntly, there are so many spies in the village. In addition to the most important secrets, the Sandaime Tsuchikage and Even if the Fourth Raikage doesn't know everything about our situation in Konoha, he can still roughly grasp the details. Otherwise, the Kumo ninja would not dare to start a war again at this time. If they dare to do so, at least they have determined that they have a certain chance of winning. of."

just,

Neither the Kumo ninja nor the Iwa ninja had misjudged the power of Konoha's upper class.

The Uchiha clan is a variable that even Shikaku Nara cannot figure out. Uchiha Zongzhen has a arrogant record of capturing the Fourth Mizukage alive. The report said that Uchiha Shisui met the rebel Orochimaru in the Kingdom of Water. After fighting together and winning, the force they displayed alone was enough to make up for the vacancy left by the deaths of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura.

not to mention,

Unlike the old and frail Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, Uchiha Sogen and Uchiha Shisui have not really reached their peak. In the ninja world, the peak period of a ninja is generally considered to be from 30 From the age of 50 to [-] years old (not counting some freaks who are on the road to immortality).

For example, the 47-year-old Jiraiya is at the peak of his physical strength and experience.

How terrible will it be when Uchiha Sogenu and Uchiha Shisui are at their true peak? Will they be able to reproduce the dominance of the first generation Hokage and Uchiha Madara over the ninja world... Nara Shikaku is not sure, but he is sure that this will happen Konoha will never lose in a war with Kumo ninja!

"Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Sandaime Tsuchikage to really join forces with the Kumo ninja. At most, they will act separately. As long as we show a certain amount of resistance appropriately and send people to Iwagakure Village to lobby, we may even persuade the Iwagakure to go eastward. , join us in a flanking attack on Yun Ninja, and teach those barbarians of Yun Ninja a harsh lesson."

Zongxian blinked,

He looked at the murderous Nara Shikaku in surprise. This was the first time he saw such murderous and high-spirited Nara Shikaku. In the past, the influence of this think tank on him was that he was a smart man who was very good at finding a career and would not get out of trouble. It is meaningless to be in the limelight, and all actions are based on the family and oneself as the first starting point. This is the first time I have seen such an aggressive strategy.

"President Nara, I didn't realize that you hate the Kumo ninja so much!"

"I've never liked those barbarians."

Nara Shikaku replied.

This is his true words, and he hates not only Kumo ninja, but also Iwa ninja, sand ninja, and fog ninja, all enemies of Konoha. When he was young, he also imagined Konoha's counterattack. When attacking the other four major ninja villages, he even worked hard to formulate an action plan without sleep.

Unfortunately, however,

In the third ninja war, Konoha was defeated by one. After a round of fighting, Konoha did not have much strength to fight back against other villages. The most important thing was that the aging Sandaime Hokage no longer had the ambition of his youth, and even He did not hesitate to end the war at the expense of Konoha's interests.

All this made Nara Shikaku realize that Konoha will still rely on defensive strategies for a long time in the future, and counterattacks will be the moon in the mirror.

It’s just that people’s calculations are not as good as God’s calculations.

Nara Shikaku also did not expect that the Uchiha clan would suddenly rise up and overthrow the rule of the Third Hokage with a fierce offensive, allowing Konoha to enter a new era. It is possible for one to fight back against the aggression of the Kumo ninja and teach it a harsh lesson. new era!

Akimichi Tofaze is as old as Sarutobi Hiruzen, and his body is not even as healthy as Sarutobi Hiruzen, but the fierceness in this fat old man's bones has not been exhausted like Sarutobi Hiruzen. After hearing Nara Shikaku's After making the plan, I immediately agreed without hesitation.

He doesn't mind adding another dazzling achievement to his resume as the acting Hokage!

"Ha ha!"

Munesuru laughed happily, and the murderous Nara Shikaku looked very pleasing to the eye, "Lord Hokage, let the two thousand Kiri ninjas deal with the Iwa ninja! It just so happened that the second generation Mizukage and the second generation Tsuchikage We will die together, just say a few words, don't worry if they don't fight to the death with Iwa Ninja."

The command of the two thousand fog ninjas was handed over simply and neatly.

Strictly speaking, Nara Shikaku's plan is not complicated, but there is also a saying that the simpler the plan, the easier it is to succeed. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter. There are only two thousand Kiri ninjas, and it is not worth Sozuru's heartache. It doesn’t matter if they all die!

He is happy to hand over these two thousand Mist Ninjas to Nara Shikaku, and Zongxuan really wants to see what kind of exciting show this think tank of Konoha Village will show in the end!

"Uchiha Chief, the village will remember your contribution."

Qiu Daocheng expressed his gratitude to Zong Xian for being reasonable.

"Everything is for the village!"

Zongxian said nice things about not wanting money.

The Fifth Generation Hokage nodded and turned to look at Jiraiya, "Jiraiya, in addition to these two thousand Mist ninjas, I will try my best to help you gather another thousand Konoha ninjas. With this strength, I know how to resist the rock." Shinobu is very reluctant, but as long as there is no problem with Shikaku's plan, he should be able to cope with the Iwa ninja's attack... Shikaku will hand over the specific action plan to you later."?

"3000 people? The situation in the village is really not optimistic!"

Jiraiya smiled bitterly and shook his head.

In his memory, the heyday of Konoha under the rule of Sarutobi-sensei was long after the end of World War II and before the start of World War III. At that time, Konoha at that time could easily mobilize a group of troops on the basis of maintaining border defense forces from all four sides. There are more than ten thousand ninja troops, White Fang-senpai is still alive, Tsunade's anemia has not worsened, Orochimaru has not completely gone astray...

Konoha at that time,

It's so powerful!

However, somehow, such a powerful Konoha soon became a dream of the past. Senior White Fang committed suicide, and Tsunade's hemophobia was completely uncontrollable, so that she could not set foot on the battlefield and chose to leave Konoha, leaving only Jiraiya and Orochimaru struggled until his disciple Yellow Flash appeared, and the dazzling light shone through the ninja world.

"I'll do my best."

Jiraiya promised.

"By the way, Hokage-sama, you also said that you want to send someone to pick up the walking miko, right? Is there a confirmed candidate now?" Seeing that the conversation between Jiraiya and Akimichi Tifou seemed to have come to an end, Zong Xian brought up another matter. Strictly speaking, the urgency was higher than the ownership rights of the two thousand Mist Ninjas.

"This one is currently reserved for two people."

Qiudao Qifeng answered truthfully.

He cast his gaze on the ANBU minister 'Matsuzo' who stood to one side like a wooden figure.

"I found an elite from the ANBU who is good at sneak reconnaissance and has excellent mobility. Then there is Kakashi Hatake. He is considered the best among the younger generation. In addition, although there are many choices... ·But it always feels unreliable. To pick up the walking miko, it is likely that we need to cross the border of the Kingdom of Earth. Two people are a bit too few, but if there are more people, it is easy to expose the whereabouts. We need real elites to join the operation."

"That's why I thought of asking you, Sogen-kun, if the Uchiha clan can support one or two good players? It's best if they are particularly good at fighting!"

The Uchiha clan's fighting ability is recognized.

To deal with an Uchiha who has opened his eyes, at least two masters of the same level are needed. This is the consensus of the ninja world. Among the many families in Konoha Village, the jonins of the Uchiha clan are undoubtedly the most powerful in the village. When a group of Jonin want to find a master who can fight, it is only natural to ask Uchiha!

"Kakashi?"

Zongxian muttered twice.

It is normal for Kakashi's name to appear. Although Kakashi has not yet reached his peak, he has been a Jonin for more than six years. It is not surprising to choose him to participate in such an important operation. As for other things, An ANBU, Zong Xian didn't know who he was, but he sounded like a master who was good at assisting.

"As for the candidates... I have two here."

Zong Xian said hesitantly.

"I can guarantee that both of these two are quite capable of fighting and will not be weaker than Kakashi, but..."

"Not weaker than Kakashi? That's no problem!"

As soon as he heard that he could be compared with Kakashi, Akimichi Tifeng's face lit up, and he agreed without waiting for Zongxuan to finish. It was not easy to find a master who could fight like this, especially when the Kumo ninja took up most of the power. At this time, the middle and lower levels of the village were stretched thin, and the upper levels had few real fighting experts.

There is no room for pickiness at this point.

Even if you have a little problem, you can tolerate it.

Just make do with it if you can!

"Hokage-sama, they can really fight, but they belong to that kind of... very simple, no, very pure temperament. Sometimes their emotions are not easy to control!" Zong Xian said. The reason why he hesitated when talking about them.

"Then will they deliberately disobey orders?"

"It won't!"

"Will they act without permission?"

"Generally speaking, probably not."

"That's no problem!"

Akimichi Tifeng didn't even ask his name and just made the decision.

Zong Xian was speechless and did not refute after thinking about it.

Putting aside such a small problem, these two people are indeed extremely powerful in fighting, and they are both weird guys who are addicted to war. They must not only not be afraid of such a dangerous mission, but they may be extremely excited. Even if you close your eyes, you can imagine how happy the two killers would be when they heard the news.

This small meeting in the office has come to an end.

Akimichi Tofu had already asked the ANBU minister to send people to summon all four candidates to participate in the operation. Jiraiya still needed preparations to lead the army, but the urgent task of responding to or dealing with the walking miko could not be delayed any longer. People had to be sent out as quickly as possible.

It just so happens that a team of four does not require a lot of preparation work like a large army.

When everyone is here, it’s time to set off!

At this moment,

Zong Xian, however, did not forget his original intention when he mentioned the third thing.

"Lord Hokage, if the news spreads that we are about to go to war with the Iwa Ninja, I am worried that there will be riots in the village. In order to stabilize the people in the village, I think it is necessary for you to remove the title of agent and officially become the fifth generation Hokage. "

In addition to Sogen and Akimichi Tofu, the only ones left in the office were Jiraiya and Nara Shikaku who had not left. The ANBU Minister Shouzou and the Interrogation Department Chief Ryo Itoi were on duty, while the other just saw things happening without her. I chose to resign very discerningly.

now,

Jiraiya looked calm when he heard Zongxuan's speech. He had heard Zongxuan make similar remarks before in the park.

"Sogen-kun, I am old and frail now. I have almost reached my limit as Hokage for a while. I think the village still needs a Fifth Generation Hokage with more physical strength and energy. Although Jiraiya refused, You can also go to Tsunade..."

Akimichi Fengfeng still used the same rhetoric.

But Zongxuan didn't buy it at all, "If we talk about the suitability, there is probably no one more suitable to take the position of Hokage than Tsunade-senpai. But the problem now is that Tsunade-senpai doesn't want to succeed as Hokage. She is not even willing to return." The ANBU has been searching for so long in the village, but they haven't even found anyone."

"Not to mention how long it will take to find Tsunade-senpai, I'm worried that even if we find Tsunade-senpai, she will most likely refuse to be Hokage like Jiraiya-senpai. By then... we What should we do?”

Jiraiya stood nearby and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to tell Tsunade's point.

But when I think of Tsunade's hemophobia, which has probably never recovered, all the words are blocked in her throat. Tsunade's hemophobia is a secret that only a few people know, even Akimichi Tifou. , except for a few people such as Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya, most people in the village thought that Tsunade finally chose to leave Konoha because she was tired of the war because of the sacrifice of her lover and younger brother.

Although this reason is not wrong, it is undeniable that the completely out-of-control hemophobia prevented Tsunade from setting foot on the battlefield or even entering the operating room. This was also an important reason for Tsunade to leave Konoha.

If it were known that Tsunade was suffering from anemia, which is a devastating mental illness for the ninja profession, let alone succeeding as Hokage, even returning to the village and becoming an ordinary ninja would be a dream.

Instead of Tsunade being forced to reveal this secret,

It would be better to let her continue to relax outside for the time being, and wait until the blood phobia is resolved, and then we can talk about other things.

"As for you saying that you are old and frail... Hokage-sama, Konoha is not yet at the point where you need to go into battle personally. What you need to do is to sit in the village and stabilize people's hearts. If you feel busy with official duties, then Isn’t there squad leader Nara? Can’t you just ask him to handle your official duties?”

Zong Xian made up his mind to truly send Akimichi Tifeng to the throne of the real fifth generation Hokage.

Now I speak with honorifics.

"...Let me think about it! Let me think about it again, Zong Xian-kun."

Qiu Daofeng said with a wry smile.

He felt Zong Xian's determination not to give up until he succeeded, and his heart, which had been swinging back and forth without making a decision, became increasingly confused. If possible, he certainly wouldn't mind becoming a serious Hokage. , not just a transitional agent.

however,

He indeed loves Konoha from the bottom of his heart, and it is no excuse to say that his body is getting worse every day. He is worried about how long he can sit in this seat and whether he can make Konoha better!

Furthermore, if he really takes the throne of the Fifth Hokage, then he may have a headache on how to face the Uchiha clan who are too big to lose!This was originally a problem that he planned to throw to the real Godaime Hokage, but now that he has dealt with it like this, it seems that he has gotten this big trouble into his own hands!

The complicated situation made Akimichi Tifeng fall into deep entanglement, as if he was stuck in a quagmire, unable to make an immediate decision.

I had to use the one-handed drag technique.

We will discuss it with Shikaku later. Anyway, the three families of Ino, Deer and Butterflies are one, and they are inseparable from each other. Akimichi Torifu trusts Nara Shikaku [-]%, just like he trusts his right and left hands.

"Hokage-sama, you can consider it, but I still mean that. This matter has been delayed for a long time. If the fifth generation Hokage is confirmed as early as possible, then we can devote ourselves to fighting Kumo ninja and Iwa ninja. There is no need to worry about it anymore." Now, while I am worried about the war on the front line, I am also worried about the instability within the village."
