The days when I worked part-time in Konoha

The information returned by Ding Zao attracted the Third Hokage's attention. As a conservative, he has always hated war and opposed the use of force to solve problems.War has caused too many tragedies, and even children of several years old are not immune.

The first generation's grandson, Naoki, died on the battlefield when he was only six years old. The third generation Hokage has always been worried about this matter. He believed that he would not be able to face the first generation after his death, and he had let down the cultivation of the second generation.

But when war comes, as the shadow of a village, he has the responsibility and obligation to protect the village. This is the mission of being Hokage.The first generation and the second generation all sacrificed their lives to protect the village. The third generation Hokage felt that he would also follow this path in the future.

He was not afraid of death, he just didn't want Konoha to be invaded by foreign enemies and cause indelible pain.

"Guys, tell me your attitude towards this matter."

When encountering major events related to the safety of the village, Konoha's top management would gather together for a meeting, and this had been the case since the Third Hokage succeeded to the throne.In addition to the Third Hokage, there are also Gen's leaders Danzo, Akimichi Tofū, Mito Kadoen, and Koharu Koharu.There was originally an Uchiha Mirror, but during a mission, the Uchiha Mirror fell into an enemy trap and died of exhaustion.

And now, as the former second-generation Hokage Tobirama's elite guard team, the five of them are now also high-ranking members of Konoha, and their every word and deed determines the future of Konoha.

Mito Kadoen said: "Ohnoki is clearly deceiving me, Hiruzen, that there is no one in Konoha. I personally think that we will allocate people from the village to the Kusakunin Village and focus on setting up defenses to avoid being caught off guard by Iwagakure."

Having experienced World War I, World War II, and now the third war, Mito Monohan can be said to be an experienced ninja. How could he not know the principle of attacking first to gain strength and attacking later to suffer disaster?

Back then, at the end of the First World War, the Second Generation was so powerful that he was far superior to Raikage. Why did he die at the end of his life? He was caught off guard by Kumogakure's elite troops headed by Golden Horn and Silver Horn. In order to save himself and others, , willing to be used as bait, this is a bloody lesson.

After turning to bed, Koharu said: "I don't think it's possible. Now we, Konoha and Sunagakure are facing each other, and the outcome has not yet been determined. If we make a strong enemy at this time, we will be in a bad situation, so we should first appease them."

In her opinion, war is too cruel. Even though Konoha has always been the victor, there are heavy casualties every time, so she tries not to fight as much as possible.Moreover, Konoha is already at war with Sunagakure, and if they start a war with Iwagakure again, even if Konoha is powerful, it will not be able to bear it.

The Third Hokage nodded and asked Akimichi Tōfeng on the side.

Akimichi Kaifeng is an elite Jonin of the Akimichi clan. Although he is old, his strength cannot be underestimated.Even if the clan leader Ding Zuo saw him, he would respectfully call him "senior".

Akimichi Tifeng pondered and said: "Hiruzhan, we have been fighting Sunagakure for several months. Why didn't Onoki take action earlier, but wait until now to prepare to attack Konoha? Because he saw from this war that Konoha Even if we take the initiative to express our good will, we are afraid that it will be difficult to meet our expectations."

Danzo said: "It seems that Onoki is a very smart guy."

"Is it true or false?"

The Third Hokage was slightly startled. Compared with the late World War II, Konoha's huge strength has indeed weakened.But this is not the main reason for starting the war. Whether it is Rasa or Onoki, these two people are not ordinary people. They are just afraid that they are old and incompetent, and want to take advantage of the next generation of Hokage to take over the throne through force. Ye got some benefits.

It seems that the selection of the Fourth Hokage is urgent, as it is already related to the stability of Konoha.

Although he was still alive, it was a bit contrary to common sense to choose the Fourth Hokage, but for the future of the village, there was nothing wrong with doing so.

"I already understand your opinions. Except for Xiaochun, do the three of you stand for war."

The Third Hokage felt a little disappointed. He believed that there was still room for maneuver in this matter, rather than arbitrarily believing that only war could solve the problem.

Danzo couldn't stand Hiruzen's indecisiveness. Perhaps he didn't like him after the second generation selected Hiruzen as his designated successor, so he said: "Hiruzen, you have to understand one thing. It's not that we want to go to war. But Iwagakure wants to start a war with us.”

Strength is the capital for dealing with war. Even if it is a war with two countries, Danzo feels that Konoha can completely bear it. After the First World War, Konoha has experienced 20 years of peace and its strength has grown by leaps and bounds, far better than several other ninja villages.

It's just that despite having such huge strength, Hiruzen still behaves as usual. Being kind to the enemy and having a gentle policy are the main reasons for frequent wars.

Such a person should have abdicated his position long ago, but seeing how highly Hiruzen used his disciple Orochimaru, Danzo felt that Orochimaru would become a stumbling block on his road to Hokage.

However, Danzo did not take Orochimaru as a competitor seriously. Orochimaru had secretly conducted human experiments over the years, which was against humanity. In this way, no matter how talented a person is, he cannot become Hokage.

The Third Hokage glanced at him and said calmly: "So Danzo, who do you think will lead our Konoha faction to win this war?"

Danzo rolled his eyes and said: "Konoha is full of talents, and it is not easy to find one or two outstanding ninjas. Hiruzen, didn't you teach three outstanding disciples and shine in the ninja world, regardless of the fact that you have already participated in the war? Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade are also the best choices."

The Third Hokage said: "These two have been away from Konoha for a few years. You also know their situation. Where can I find them at the moment? Besides, given their condition, I don't think they are qualified commanders."

Jiraiya, a disciple who likes to be emotional and has an admiration for Tsunade, had relieved him of his duties a few years ago and prepared to travel around the world to find the protagonist in his novel.Tsunade suffered from haematosis during World War II and could not go to the battlefield at all.

Of course, if these two people were here, Ohnoki would not cause trouble at this time.

Danzo hummed: "So what, as a ninja, when the village is in danger, they have the responsibility to stand on the front line and live and die with the village. Hiruzen, I'm not telling you, you are too doting on a few disciples. ”

The Third Hokage said displeasedly: "Danzo, there is no need for you to dictate matters between me and my disciples."

Danzo's face darkened and he glanced coldly at the Third Hokage. Although he was the leader of Gen and considered a high-ranking figure in Konoha, there was still a gap between him and Hiruzen. There was only one Kage in the village.

Mito Kadoen said: "Hiruzen, now that the situation has come to a head, how should we solve the problem of Iwagakure's attack?"

The Third Hokage muttered: "Everyone, you don't have to worry. I am the shadow of a village and will not do anything to harm the village. To deal with Iwagakure, maybe I can delay the war, at least until the Battle of Kikyo Mountain is over. Win or lose. In this way, we can devote ourselves to fighting Iwagakure."

Several people were surprised when they heard this. From their point of view, it was unbelievable how Hiruzen had the confidence to postpone the war when it was clear that war was inevitable.

Danzo said: "Hiruzhan, we are all the guardians of Konoha. Do you still want to hide it from us?"

The Third Hokage said: "I am only somewhat certain about this matter, and it is not appropriate to make it public at this time. We will see what the effect is, but I believe you will not be disappointed."

Hearing what the Third Hokage said, a few people couldn't ask further questions, so they could only bury their doubts in their stomachs.
