Chapter 405 Preparing for War

"However, what Mitokado En-senpai mentioned is a matter of timing.

"Indeed, there is some truth to it."

"!"

Hearing this, Mizuto Menen suddenly raised his head and looked at the Seventh Hokage in disbelief, he simply couldn't believe his ears.

At the same time, Hyuga Neji also couldn't believe his ears.

"Before discussing the treatment of the Hyuga clan, I think we need to reach a consensus on the following prerequisites."

In the conference room, Uchiha Sasuke's calm voice still echoed:

"First of all, the issue we just discussed, participating in assisting the rebellious ninja, is not the core crime of the Hyuga clan.

“All ninja affiliated with the Root Organization, and even the Muyan Squad that directly participated in the battle, will be given a chance to be pardoned.

"When it comes to the Hyuga clan, why do the standards for punishment suddenly become so strict?"

"Sasuke, you."

Hyuga Neji had a complicated expression and couldn't help but open his mouth to say something.

"Ningji, just listen to what I have to say, okay?"

Uchiha Sasuke turned his head, his eyes earnest but firm.

Just listen to him continue:

“If we cannot unify the standards for punishment or reward when doing things, the people will just feel at a loss.

“By that time, no matter how many reward cases there are, the public will not feel motivated, but will feel that with the vague standards, it may not be their turn.

“No matter how severe the punishment is, the public will not be afraid, but will feel lucky because the standards are vague.

"By that time, the meaning of the rules you mentioned will have long since disappeared."

Uchiha Sasuke's words made everyone in the room nod their heads repeatedly.

Only Hyuga Neji felt a sense of anger and grievance of betrayal.

Just then, Uchiha Sasuke changed the subject and continued:

“Back to the Hyuga clan, as Kakashi-sensei said, their involvement with Shimura Danzo ended with the death of Hyuga Hiashi.

"Next, the focus of our discussion should be on two aspects."

Uchiha Sasuke stretched out his hand and tapped his fingers on the table in front of him, tapping gently.

The monotonous and slow beat gradually eased the tense atmosphere in the house.

I only heard Uchiha Sasuke slowly say:

"First, why has the Hyuga clan been promoting a 'country within a country' for so many years?

"How should we deal with the historical problems of knowing only the Hyuga clan leader but not the Konoha Hokage?

"In the past, the Hyuga clan maintained an independent status in war, missions, and defense work. Was this reasonable?"

When Uchiha Sasuke said this, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

"Secondly, the Hyuga clan has persisted in the bad habit of 'birds in a cage' for many years. It is completely contrary to the new spirit advocated by Konoha at present."

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly:

"As the Hokage, the things I care about have always been consistent.

“Are the current measures conducive to the healthy growth of extraordinary talents?

“Do the corresponding arrangements ensure fairness in the right to development among people?

“No matter from which angle you look at it, the existence of the bird in the cage is a blatant violation of the policies I advocate.

"From this perspective, as long as the Hyuga clan exists, what I said about 'putting people first' will be nothing but ridiculous empty talk."

When Uchiha Sasuke finished speaking, everyone in the room was horrified.

It was not until the last sentence appeared that everyone suddenly realized.

Uchiha Sasuke's murderous intent is no weaker than Hyuga Neji's.

However, its deduction process is extremely rational and cold, and its logic is so strict that it is frightening.

Mizuto Menyan looked at this man in astonishment.

On the main seat, Uchiha Sasuke, who was wearing the Hokage's divine robe, seemed to have the same figure as his mentor, the second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

The others include Kakashi, who has a relatively keen sense of smell, and Nara Shikamaru.

At this moment, I have clearly realized it.

The seventh Hokage, Uchiha Sasuke.

The political literacy and business skills possessed by this young ninja are far beyond any ninja that everyone has seen before.

"Do you have any objection to this?"

Uchiha Sasuke tapped the table in front of him again, glanced at everyone, and asked indifferently.

Faced with such a strong and solid theoretical foundation, everyone was unable to utter a word.

"very good.

“Then, in the future, all discussions about the Hyuga clan should be based on the above two points of consensus.

"Everyone, go back and think about this. We will continue the discussion next time."

Uchiha Sasuke turned his head to look at Hyuga Neji and asked calmly:

"May I?"

"it is good

"Ok."

Neji Hyuga is not stupid.

He understood that with Sasuke's words, the disposal and end of the Hyuga clan was a foregone conclusion.

He just lowered his head silently and said nothing more.

"Is it my turn?"

Seeing that the Hokage's gaze had finally come to him, Nara Shikamaru quickly sat up straight, coughed lightly, and reported:

"The 'Feng Shui Fusion' plan for the Sand Village formulated by the Fifth Hokage has been successfully completed beyond expectations.

"Right now, the honorary leader of the Sand Village is still the fifth Kazekage Temari.

"The troops led by Mei Terumi have successfully settled down in the Sand Village and have been reorganized into the Sand Village's defense garrison.

"Among them, Mei Terumi was given the position of 'General' of the Sand Village.

"His subordinates still maintain their Mist Hidden Headbands. The two sides are independent of each other, mutually beneficial, and have reached a cooperative relationship that both sides can agree on."

After a pause, Nara Shikamaru continued:

“It is worth mentioning that the two have already reached a considerable sense of belonging and identity with Konoha’s leadership position.

“This is also the key factor in the successful conclusion of this cooperation.

"And, with the inauguration of the Seventh Hokage, the emotions on both sides have reached their peak.

"Under this structure, my personal voice in the Sand Village has also been greatly enhanced."

Nara Shikamaru's words were not meant to flatter Sasuke.

Due to the two previous experiences of fighting together, the Kirigakure tribes and the Sand Village all considered themselves to have a close comradeship with Sasuke.

And this advantage cannot be replaced by anyone else.

"Thanks a lot."

Uchiha Sasuke turned to Shikamaru, nodded approvingly, and said encouragingly.

"And that's it."

Nara Shikamaru took out a simple-looking thread-bound book from his bosom and handed it to Uchiha Sasuke respectfully, saying:

"Kakuzu-sama, I asked you to say hello.

“He said that the task you assigned to him has been completed.

"He wants to know when he can meet with you for an interview?"

Uchiha Sasuke was stunned.

He looked down and saw seven big words written on the cover of the book - "Kakuzu Ninja World Economics".

A barely perceptible smile flashed across Sasuke's face, and he carefully put the book away.

He said:

"Please let him wait a while.

“If he has any ideas, he can communicate with you directly.

"Now, in the Sand Village, your existence is equivalent to my existence.

"If your judgment is reasonable, you can execute it on the spot in the Sand Village."

"Yes"

Nara Shikamaru nodded silently.

He hesitated for a moment, then took out a test tube filled with black liquid from his arms and presented it respectfully to Uchiha Sasuke.

"this is?"

Uchiha Sasuke took the test tube, looked at it carefully, and was confused.

“Well actually, the book was finished a month ago.

"After that, Kakuzu-sama behaved very strangely and was in a state of panic all day.

"Finally, at his strong request, we gave him a five-man ninja team to carry out the so-called 'exploration work' within the territory of the Wind Country."

At this point, Shikamaru also felt that this was a bit too absurd. He looked embarrassed and whispered:

“This is the exploration result he found.

“Although, I don’t quite understand what this thing is for, but Kakuzu-sama is very excited.

"Before leaving, Lord Kakuzu repeatedly stressed that I must show this to you."

"Well?"

Uchiha Sasuke once again raised the test tube in his hand towards the light. As the light scattered, the liquid in the test tube intertwined with different shades of blue, purple, and black.

It seems to contain the secrets of the earth and time.

"Did he say what this thing was called?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked casually.

“He said, this is oil.”

Nara Shikamaru said quietly.

"I see."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded, without thinking too much, and put it away as well.

"Any more?"

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Nara Shikamaru gently.

I just felt in my heart that sending him to the Sand Village was the right decision.

"And that's it."

Nara Shikamaru thought for a moment and continued:

"I haven't made much progress yet on the secret of the fourth scroll of the Red Sand Scorpion that you asked me to investigate.

"Granny Chiyo always carried the stick with her. Her daily routine was just shopping, cooking, fishing, and taking walks. Her behavior was not unusual, and she did not come into contact with anyone suspicious.

“What I’m asking is, is there any need for further action?

"Or, add more manpower to conduct some visits and research on the files?"

Uchiha Sasuke nodded silently.

To be honest, he had almost forgotten about this matter.

Sasuke had too many things on his mind at this moment.

In that split second, Uchiha Sasuke spoke:

"Let's do this for now. Just keep one eye on them."

"it is good."

Nara Shikamaru nodded, sorted out the documents in front of him, and said:

"I don't have anything else to do here."

"it is good."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded, then a friendly smile appeared on his face, and he said lightly:

"So, Senior Hou Jie, you..."

"I just have one thing to say."

The cunning monkey said unhappily:

“Can you please not let me attend this boring meeting?

"Like before, can you call me when you have something to do?"

"No."

Listening to Houju's complaints, Uchiha Sasuke's smile grew even wider.

He just shook his head and said calmly:

"After becoming Hokage, many of the problems I will face are systematic and interrelated.

"As a staff member, if you don't have control over the overall situation.

"I'm afraid it will directly affect the adaptability of your decision-making."

"Humph."

The cunning monkey turned his head away disapprovingly.

Although, it itself is not bound by Konoha's identity.

But as a summoning beast that had signed a powerful contract, the cunning monkey could do nothing in the face of Uchiha Sasuke's request.

At this point, everyone has finished their speeches.

Uchiha Sasuke glanced around and said calmly:

“So, finally.

"I have something to say, too."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but perk up and prepare to listen to Sasuke "have a few more simple words".

"According to accurate intelligence."

Uchiha Sasuke said:

"Akatsuki will launch a full-scale invasion war against Konoha.

"We only have about five days left."

"!"

"!!"

"!!!"

The calm words were like a thunderbolt, exploding completely in everyone's hearts.

-

March 28th, the sixty-sixth year of Konoha.

On the first day after the seventh Hokage Uchiha Sasuke took office, Konoha held a mobilization meeting.

The strategic movements of the Akatsuki organization were reported to the elite jonin and even the heads of the major families, and the sharing and knowledge of enemy capabilities intelligence were once again emphasized.

Compared with the past, the three new participants include Hyuga Neji, Kimimaro, and Uzumaki Naruto.

It is worth mentioning that the Hyuga clan was not invited to participate in this meeting.

March 29th.

The seventh Hokage, Uchiha Sasuke, personally visited the Konohagakure's barrier perception network and intelligence exchange system.

Accompanied by Yamanaka Ino and Yamanaka Ino, a simulated drill was conducted on the procedures for enemy attack alert.

On the same day, Hyuga Neji led many sensory ninjas to simulate the setting up of rotating sentry posts around the border of Konoha.

The main ninjas involved include: the Inuzuka clan and the Aburame clan.

Among them, Uchiha Feng, who also possesses the Byakugan, serves as Hyuga Neji's deputy.

Compared with the barrier perception within the village, the mission and focus of the sentry post is to abandon perception accuracy and focus more on expanding the boundary range of perception and warning.

March 30th.

Konohagakure conducted a large-scale emergency disaster avoidance training exercise.

All residents temporarily stopped their daily activities and immersed themselves in the drill.

After simulating a sudden invasion on site, practical subjects such as ninja emergency evacuation, retreat cover, and trapped rescue were organized.

The participating ninjas had clear division of labor, scientific decision-making, and coordinated efforts to complete this actual combat exercise with high quality.

Residents' safety awareness and disaster avoidance knowledge were also greatly enhanced through this training.

March 31st.

The seventh Hokage, Uchiha Sasuke, personally inspected the disaster shelter.

The storage and distribution of materials, the storage of medicines, and the excavation of tunnels for emergency passages have been further strengthened.

With the help of Tenzang and several earth-style ninjas, a passage was opened between the disaster shelter and Konoha Hospital.

It also further improved the environment of disaster shelters and expanded the accommodation area of ​​the corresponding places.

April 1st.

Konohagakure officially announced that it has entered a level one combat readiness state.

The wording was stern and the instructions clear.

Comprehensive and specific planning requirements have been made for various situations and response measures after the outbreak of war.

The official evacuation slogan was clearly put forward:

"Except life, everything can be temporarily abandoned."

That night.

Uchiha Obito came to Uchiha Sasuke's bedroom as promised.

I only heard him ask in a cold tone:

“So, the so-called need for time to consider.

"It's just to delay the preparations for war, right?"
