Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

The Kingdom of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

The Fourth Mizukage, Karutagi Yagura, was staring at the sand table in front of him in deep thought. This sand table showed the current war situation of the five major countries in the ninja world in various places.

"The Iwagakure Village has suffered a heavy blow this time, and it will no longer be able to threaten Konoha in the short term. This is not good news for us." A high-ranking middle-aged jonin from the Mist Village frowned.

The man sitting on the right hand of Mizukage was a tall old man with eyes sunken like holes. He had no aura on his body, but gave people an extremely powerful feeling.

The old man was a high-level advisor to the Hidden Mist Village. He gently stroked his sparse beard and said in a deep voice, "We need to consider in advance the possibility of Konoha adding new reinforcements to the front line. Their pressure on the western battlefield has been reduced, so they are very likely to send new troops to the eastern battlefield."

"Uchiha Yi..."

At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice was heard.

The girl who was speaking had a slender figure, fair and delicate skin, and a pretty face. She was very beautiful, with a hint of pride between her brows, giving people a feeling that she was unattainable.

She had long, crisscrossed reddish-brown curly hair, and under her long, slightly sparse eyelashes were a pair of emerald green eyes. She looked at the information in her hand with a calm gaze, seeming a little indifferent.

Mei Terumi gently swung a section of her snow-white calf, and her fingers gently stroked the latest top-secret intelligence, which recorded Uchiha Yi's amazing performance in the battle between Konoha and Iwagakure.

"I have doubts about the authenticity of this intelligence."

Mei Terumi stood up and stood calmly in the middle of the field.

She was wearing a blue strapless dress with a pure white sash around her waist and a slit blue long skirt. The front of the skirt fell to the middle of her calves, and the back fell to her snow-white ankles, revealing her slender jade-white thighs.

The blue dress she was wearing was blown up by the wind, and her expression was cold and indifferent. "In the report about Uchiha Yi, his physical skills and swordsmanship were deliberately emphasized. Even if he is a disciple of Konoha White Fang, this guy is obviously not much older than me. Is he really as strong as recorded in the intelligence?"

"Yes, this is the first time I've heard of the name Uchiha Yi. His Sharingan only has two magatama. Is the information wrong?"

A high-ranking jonin from Kirigakure also expressed doubts about the information.

After finishing speaking, Mei Terumi slowly sat down again, propped her chin on her hand, and looked out the window tenderly, with no emotion visible on her cold face.

……

The battle between Konoha and Iwagakure Village has spread throughout the ninja world.

The ninja villages of the five major countries and many small countries held meetings regarding this operation.

Among them, the news that Orochimaru and Uchiha Yi teamed up to kill nearly forty Iwagakure jonin swept through the intelligence networks of major ninja villages like a storm, shocking the entire ninja world.

Everyone was shocked.

Orochimaru is fine, after all, he is one of the three most famous ninjas in the ninja world.

But Uchiha Yi had been unknown before, but this time he emerged out of nowhere and became the leader of the new generation of young people in the ninja world.

There are even many people who compare Uchiha Yi to the young Minato Namikaze, and gave him the nickname "Silver Flash" based on the silver light that flashed when he swung his sword.

Silver Flash, this name quickly transcended national boundaries and resounded throughout the ninja world.

……

Inside Konoha Village.

When the news from the front line reached Konoha, the village's top leaders were also shocked.

At the top floor of the Hokage Building, Konoha's top leaders Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Utane Koharu, and Mito Kado En gathered together. These four people hold the real core power of Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat on the Hokage chair that symbolized power, his face revealing a look of relief and joy that could not be concealed.

Danzo Shimura stood by the window with his hands behind his back and a deep look in his eyes.

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En sat side by side, their faces showing a mixture of surprise and caution.

"Uchiha Yi... this kid is really surprising."

Sarutobi Hiruzen twisted his beard and said slowly: "He was able to kill fifteen Iwagakure jonin by himself. This child's growth rate is far beyond our expectations."

Danzo's brows were furrowed. He was extremely wary of the Uchiha clan. Now he had to re-evaluate Uchiha Yi's strength. "It seems that we need to re-examine the future of the Uchiha clan."

Hearing Danzo's meaningful words, Hiruzen frowned slightly and looked at him deeply, "Danzo, it's still war time, don't create chaos in the village!"

Danzo sneered, his lips moved, and he said expressionlessly: "Huruzen, the threat that the Uchiha clan poses to us, don't you know it?"

"Shut up, Danzo, I'm the Hokage!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table and glared at Danzo coldly, then said in a low voice: "In any case, everything now focuses on the external war. We can talk about other things after the war is over..."

"That's right. Now we can focus on the eastern front and the battlefield in Kirigakure."

Utane Koharu nodded slightly, her old voice sounding a little hoarse: "The Rock Ninja will not be able to fight again in the short term. This is a rare opportunity. We must seize this opportunity, adjust our strategic deployment, and concentrate our forces to deal with the Hidden Mist Village."

Mitomon En stroked his long beard, and after a moment's silence, he said, "The war on the eastern front has always been very tense. The ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village have always been strange and unpredictable. We must act with caution."

Listening to the discussion of several advisors, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly and said, "Minato is in charge of the eastern front. I will ask him to return to Konoha next week to re-formulate the battle plan."

Several senior executives continued to discuss the current situation in Konoha. Half an hour later, only Hiruzen and Danzo were left in the office.

"Huruzen, how are you thinking about the next Hokage?"

Danzo's voice broke the silence, his tone somewhat tentative and urgent.

A barely perceptible hesitation flashed across Hiruzen's face. He gently stroked the brush in his hand, his expression slowly becoming serious. "This matter...is not something I can decide alone. The future of the village needs to be decided by everyone together."

Hearing this, Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Orochimaru has made great contributions on the Western Front, and he has enough reputation in the village. There is also Minato Namikaze on the Eastern Front, who also has a great reputation. Who do you prefer in your heart?"

Hiruzen did not answer directly. He looked out the window, and the scenery in the distance was blurred in light and shadow.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke: "Orochimaru and Minato are both excellent candidates for the next Hokage, but the final decision will still require the opinions of several advisors and jonin."

After hearing this, Danzo's face flashed with displeasure. He snorted coldly, turned around and left the Hokage's office.

Walking in the deserted corridor, Danzo had a sneer on his face.

"Hmph, Hiruzen, do you think I can't see that you have already set your sights on Minato Namikaze?"

"How can a young boy like that take on the responsibility of being the Hokage? What the village needs is a leader with both iron fist and experience!"

In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen looked at the closed door with a complicated look in his eyes.

The soldiers on the front line just need to devote themselves to the battlefield, obey orders, and fight hard to kill the enemy.

But as the Hokage in the rear, there are many things to consider.
