People are in Hokage, one person at a time

As the Hokage of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi had some ambitions at first.

However, the gap in personal ability is far from being compensated by ambition. Although Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to promote Konoha, God did not fulfill his wishes, and Konoha, which thrived but must decline, has been on a decline since he took over.

Hatake Sakumo is dead, his disciples are alienated, the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki is useless, and Uchiha...

Inheriting Senju Tobirama's will, Sarutobi Hiruzen personally wanted to take Uchiha, the top ninja, under his command, but Uchiha's threat was too strong.

The jounin of San Magatama has a fighting power that far exceeds that of ordinary jounin. Coupled with the legendary power of Uchiha, how can he suppress him who is already old and frail?

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen has never dared to put Uchiha on the battlefield, for fear that one day a gifted Uchiha would awaken the legendary kaleidoscope.

If this power is not in the hands of the Hokage, then it will definitely be a big hidden danger for Konoha.

It's a pity that the times are unfavorable!

"Hiruzen, the Mist Ninja invasion, how should we respond?"

Hokage building, office.

Sitting in a familiar seat, listening to Mito Kaden's urgent report, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little upset.

The original war situation was unfavorable enough for Konoha. Although the Sand Ninja was stabilized, the Iwa Ninja was watching with eager eyes, and the Cloud Ninja...

Now the Kiri ninja, who had never had any sense of existence, was involved in the war against Konoha. Even though he, the Hokage, was ready to go to the battlefield, such bad news still made Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes darken.

Is it true that God is going to destroy Konoha?

The number of active ninjas has dropped to the bottom, and the 3,000 Saru clan troops have defeated them all. Although many strong men have emerged from the new generation of Konoha, under siege from three sides, even with this small number of troops, even Konoha ninjas will be defeated. No matter how strong your qualities are, you will still be unable to do all the things you want.

"What does the intelligence say?"

"The defense line along the southeastern coast has been completely broken. It is estimated that the number of Mist ninjas attacking the Country of Fire this time will not be less than two thousand."

"Are we going out in full force?"

Hearing this number, Sarutobi Hiruzen also felt dizzy.

With the current strength of Konoha, it is already difficult to deal with the Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja at the same time. He, the Third Hokage, is about to go to the front line. If the Mist Ninja detects the truth and drives in, Konoha today will not even be able to put up a decent resistance. I can't even use my strength.

Do you really want to...

"Hiruzen, make a decision as soon as possible. The Mist Ninja is coming fiercely. If the Mist Ninja is allowed to operate in the Land of Fire, it will only be the pressure from the daimyo..."

Mito Kadoyan didn't finish what he said, but how could Sarutobi Hiruzen not understand what his old friend meant.

A large part of the Fire Country nobles' properties are concentrated on the southeast coast. If Konoha loses control of the southeast coast, although the ninja war does not involve civilians, the economic losses will still affect the reputation of the daimyo...

The key is that the Sarutobi clan still has many industries on the southeast coast.

"I wonder if the Sand Ninja can send troops?"

"I've already asked the Godaime Kazekage."

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's question, Koharu went to bed and hurriedly replied: "After the Jinchuriki lost control and half of the Suna Ninja village was buried, the Suna Ninja obviously did not have the ability to participate in the Ninja World War. What's more, the Iwa ninja's target is not just Konoha, the Sand ninja may..."

"Hmph, you place your hopes on Suna Ninja. Hiruzen, do you think too highly of them?"

The door to the office was pushed open, and no one arrived before they were heard. After experiencing the defeat of the Rain Country, and hearing the news of the invasion of the Mist Ninja, even Danzo had to get out of his roots.

If he had known that the Kiri Ninja would do something like this, he shouldn't have rushed to find Hanzo.

"Danzo? Are your injuries healed?"

Seeing Danzo appear, Mito Kado and Koharu were both stunned. After all, the last time Danzo came out was when he threatened to kill Suna Ninja, but everyone knew the result of that time. If it weren't for Orochimaru and Namikaze Shui The gate turned the tide, and the loss of the frontline jounin alone almost caused the collapse of the northwest battlefield.

I originally thought that Danzo would be quiet for a long time, but I didn't expect...

"So what if you didn't raise it well, Hiruzen, you are really getting more and more clever as you live. A mere Mist ninja will make you miserable. It's just a war. When has Konoha ever been afraid of it?"

"What do you want to say?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his old friend with a headache. Although he was very grateful to Danzo for standing up and sharing the pressure with him at this juncture, how could he put it in Danzo's mouth when two thousand Mist Ninja invaded the Land of Fire? There are two thousand pigs...

No, it would take a long time to kill two thousand pigs, right?

Although he really wanted to ask Danzo to collect it, at this juncture, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only hope that Danzo could give him some good advice.

"It's just a fog ninja, leave this to me!"

"Leave it to you? Danzo, don't be joking, Konoha can't spare so many manpower now."

"manpower?"

Danzo snorted coldly.

"Leave the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki to me. With the power of the root, can a mere Mist Ninja resist the power of the Nine-Tails?"

After the words fell, there was silence in the office.

According to normal procedures, at this time Sarutobi Hiruzen should stand up and tell Danzo categorically that this was impossible.

But right now, Konoha does lack the means to defend itself against the enemy. If Kushina can go to the battlefield, even if the Mist Ninja cannot be driven away, it will not be difficult to resist the Mist Ninja invasion.

As the most powerful being among the tailed beasts, Mito Uzumaki, the previous Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, left a very deep impression on Sarutobi Hiruzen. If he could control the Nine-Tails, he would be as powerful as the God of Ninja.

"Hiruzen, if Kushina can..."

"Okay Xiaoharu."

Sarutobi Hiruzen motioned for everyone to silence, and as the smoke rose, the entire office was filled with light smoke in a short while.

"Hiruzen!"

There was a loud bang, but Danzo was the first to attack.

"It's time, why are you still hesitating?"

"Kushina...I can't leave it to you."

Putting down his pipe, Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly: "When Konoha is not at the end of its rope, Kushina's control over the Nine-Tails is not strong. Once out of control, it will be no less than a third ninja for Konoha." The disaster of the World War, Koharu, help me call the two clan leaders Hinata and Uchiha..."

"Hiruzhan, you would rather use Uchiha than..."

"Uchiha is also a part of Konoha. At this juncture, it is not the time to worry so much."

"Hiruzhan..."

"No need to say any more, Danzo, I have made up my mind."

"Hiruzen, use Uchiha, you will regret it!"

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"
