Hokage: I use spiritual power to release ninjutsu!

There had been nearly ten knocks on the door, and just when Minato Namikaze was about to ask,

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice, as friendly as ever, yet majestic, came from the office.

"Come in!"

Namikaze Minato calmed down his somewhat impatient mood, pushed the door open, walked quickly to the desk, and reported with a serious face:

"Sandaime-sama, it has been determined that the ANBU team that delivered the message was killed by the ninja Maki of Sunagakure Village;"

Namikaze Minato paused and handed the mission record he had prepared to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was silently smoking a cigarette.

“In addition, after three days of in-depth investigation into the Kingdom of Wind, it can be confirmed from the intelligence collected;

Sunagakure Village plans to provoke a war and invade Konoha, and is already making final preparations for war! "

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly looked through the mission information in his hand, and he also recognized Namikaze Minato's judgment, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Then he raised his head, made a compassionate gesture, and said with regret:

"Alas, after more than ten years of peace, war is about to start again..."

"Why can't Sunagakure Village cherish its hard-won peace?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed heavily, as if he hated war and loved peace.

“Sandaime-sama, I can understand you, I don’t want war either;

But Sunagakure Village has made up its mind, and we in Konoha should prepare early! "

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's performance, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but respect the Third Hokage even more;

With such a peace-loving Hokage who doesn't want to start a war, Kushina doesn't have to go to the battlefield as a jinchuriki;

This also made him respect the Hokage who is kind and friendly to the people even more, and he also believed in the will of fire even more.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the young genius in front of him, looking at him with a very longing look, and couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart.

"Third generation sir, please give me your order on how the village should respond next."

Namikaze Minato looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was still in deep thought, and couldn't help but ask.

Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have just come back to his senses. The previous compassionate expression had completely disappeared, replaced by a serious face.

His whole body exuded the power of the Hokage who had been in charge of Konoha for nearly twenty years, and he commanded majestically:

"Convene a Jonin meeting immediately, form a ninja force as soon as possible, and head to the border!"

"Yes!"

Namikaze Minato's expression perked up, and he couldn't help but feel confident when he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen regaining his "ninja" posture.

As long as three generations of adults are here, the village will definitely survive the war safely!

A moment later, the clan heads and jounin who rushed over were already seated in the conference room in the Hokage Tower.

Everyone has a serious look on their face. Although they don’t know exactly what happened yet, they each have intelligence channels;

We already know that there is only one topic for this rare Jonin meeting, and that is war!

There is a rectangular conference table with four seats directly above it, which are obviously the special seats for Konoha F4;

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Hinata Hizashi opposite him expressionlessly.

Both of them are in the first position directly above, and the seats are sorted according to the strength of each family.

Although the Hyuga clan often claims to be the largest clan, Hinata knows in his heart that their clan is not as good as the Uchiha clan.

The Byakugan is indeed impeccable in terms of detection, but there is still a gap between the Byakugan and the Sharingan in terms of combat effectiveness.

'The Sharingan can continue to evolve, and there is even a kaleidoscope like Uchiha Madara, why can't the Byakugan? '

Hinata Hizashi and Uchiha Fugaku looked at each other, and every time he saw each other, he would have doubts in his heart.

The Hyuga clan's combination of Byakugan and Soft Fist is powerful, but its upper limit is very limited;

His strength has reached the elite Jonin level. If nothing happens, he may not be able to take another step forward to reach the Kage level in his lifetime.

Regarding the so-called 'enemy' Uchiha clan, he also understood the current situation of the other party, who had been secretly suppressed by the village.

In order to prevent the Hyuga clan from receiving the same treatment as the Uchiha, they had to move closer to the village;

There is no shadow-level powerhouse in the family, and even when Danzo Shimura came to them and asked his clan members to join the Roots, he couldn't refuse.

Hinata Hinashi looked at Uchiha Fuue's somewhat haggard face and couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.

In front of this Konoha elders who are too controlling, even if they do nothing;

But as long as the family is powerful, it will naturally be suppressed by them overtly and covertly.

A "crunch" sound interrupted Rizu's contemplation;

The door to the conference room was pushed open, and Sarutobi Hiruzen led his old classmates in and sat in their exclusive seats.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the clan leaders and jonin around him, but did not speak first;

Instead, he handed the intelligence materials he had compiled in his hands to Namikaze Minato who was standing behind him, and motioned for him to distribute them.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at the information in his hand and his pupils couldn't help but shrink;

Although he had been prepared in his heart, he was still surprised that the war came so quickly.

"Lord Hokage, Sunagakure Village kills Konoha Anbu so casually, it seems that they are determined to start a war;

The village should form a ninja force immediately and attack Sunagakure Village first before they come! "

A Jonin with a murderous look on his face immediately suggested loudly after reading the information in his hand.

Shimura Danzo looked at the Jonin who stood up and belonged to his Shimura family and nodded secretly.

According to his idea, this Jonin meeting does not need to be held at all. Sunagakure Village has already taken the lead in provoking the war.

They, Konoha, should retaliate and fight directly, so why bother holding a meeting!

At this time, almost everyone had read the information in their hands. When they heard the suggestion of the Shimura family jounin, many people were very moved and agreed with his opinion.

Uchiha Fugaku and Hinata Hizashi, as well as other powerful family ninjas, were not in a hurry to express their opinions;

They also knew in their hearts that this meeting was probably just a formality, and the Hokage had already made the decision.

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that only one unknown person expressed his suggestions, and the meeting was a little cold. Then he expressed his own views with a solemn expression:

"Konoha is peace-loving Konoha!"

"Konoha has always believed in the will of fire passed down by the first generation, and we must not be the first to provoke a war!"

When it comes to the most important Will of Fire, the cornerstone of his rule, Hiruzen Sarutobi will not be careless.

Sure enough, after hearing such solemn words, among the group of people who originally agreed to take the lead in starting the war,

Many civilian jounin showed a trace of shame on their faces. They had just forgotten the concept of peace passed down by the first generation of adults;

Fortunately, the Third Hokage is here and will not let Konoha go down the wrong path. He is indeed the Hokage they respect the most!

Danzo Shimura saw that only a few small families that he had won over supported the idea of ​​starting a war. He couldn't help but snorted and said with a stern face:

"Humph!"

"Women's kindness!"

"Only by taking the initiative in the war can Konoha gain greater benefits!"

"Starting the war first is the most appropriate choice now!!"

Shimura Danzo looked around with a sinister look, and his whole body exuded waves of coldness, as if he was issuing a silent threat to those who opposed it!
