Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

"Everyone, let's put aside the mistakes Konoha made as an ally before. After all, Dihuangwan has already eliminated all the enemy ninjas from the Land of Whirlpools this time! No serious consequences were really caused!"

"The focus of our discussion now is how to deal with the follow-up!" said Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"We have indeed ignored the situation in the Land of Whirlpools before. I think it would be better for us to send a troop over there to garrison in the Land of Whirlpools and prevent the enemy from invading again!" Danzo Shimura spoke up. He had been in the wrong before, and now he wanted to show his positive attitude quickly to eliminate Mito Uzumaki's dissatisfaction with him.

Dihuangwan glanced at Shimura Danzo and thought to himself, this old bastard really knows how to deal with current affairs. I wonder if he really doesn't know about the previous crisis in the Land of Whirlpools, or is he pretending not to know!

I'm afraid it's fake, otherwise, where did the endless sealing techniques of the Root come from during the anime period! You know, even Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't have those sealing techniques of the Root!

Not only the enemy countries covet the Uzumaki clan, even the allies want to get a piece of the pie!

As soon as Danzo Shimura said this, everyone nodded. The current situation on the Konoha battlefield was improving, so there was nothing wrong in sending a troop to the Land of Whirlpools!

Everyone spoke up to express their support! Those present were all smart people. Seeing the topic of this meeting, and the fact that the main person, Uzumaki Mito, was attending the meeting in person, they all knew what was going on!

At this time, Dihuangwan also spoke up, "Everyone, when sending ninja troops to the Land of Whirlpools, I need to remind everyone! Among the more than 300 people I eliminated in this mission, there are more than 50 Jonin! The rest are all Chunin! Although they belong to different countries, this level of power is a force that cannot be underestimated even if it is used in a direct battle on the battlefield!"

"When I was fighting on the eastern front before, the total number of Kirigakure ninjas I eliminated was actually about this level! So, how many ninja troops will Konoha send to the Land of Whirlpools? What will the lineup be? Who will lead the team? How long will they stay there? These are all things that need to be discussed!"

After that, Dihuangwan looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who understood and said, "Everyone, let's discuss the questions that Dihuangwan just raised!"

"Huruzen, my Root can send 10 people to the Land of Whirlpools to collect intelligence!" said Danzo Shimura.

Akimichi Tofu also spoke up: "Hiruzen, let me lead the team this time! With my qualifications, I am the most suitable person to go to the Land of Whirlpools!"

Akimichi Tofu is a disciple of the second generation, and is familiar with the Uzumaki clan. He was previously a commander on the front line. He is currently unemployed at home and holds a position as a consultant. His status and qualifications are sufficient! In the anime timeline, Akimichi Tofu gradually turned to the backstage after World War II and faded out of the core power circle of Konoha!

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in approval. He didn't want Dihuangwan to be in the spotlight anymore anyway. So he naturally welcomed his old friend's offer to lead the team!

Then everyone expressed their opinions, and finally, it was decided that Akimichi Douto would lead a 200-man elite ninja force to the Land of Whirlpools to form a joint force with the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan. They would be under the command of Akimichi Douto and the Uzumaki clan leader Uzumaki Mun, and would be stationed there until the end of the Second Ninja World War!

At the same time, Dihuangwan also put forward other suggestions that he had previously mentioned to Uzumaki Mito!

As a result, the meeting room turned into a quarrel room!

"What? We can't do this. Konoha is so powerful that other countries will take over and accuse and attack Konoha!"

"I don't like to hear that! Konoha is the victorious party in the war, the party with the advantage! We are the strongest village in the ninja world! Why can't we say it?"

"That being said, what if this arouses the dissatisfaction of other ninja villages and they unite to put pressure on Konoha! You know, the war is not over yet! There are battles on the front lines every day, and there are new casualties every day!"

"What a joke! Are we just going to suffer this loss in silence? We will be known as a country that allows its enemies to bully its allies! I can't afford to lose this reputation!"

"I am also concerned about the front line. I don't want any more casualties because of this!"

"I think, regardless of whether this happened or not, the enemy country will find a reason to pursue and intercept our Konoha! This time they dared to plot against the Uzumaki clan, next time they will dare to secretly attack the ninja clan of our Konoha!"

It's true, what this person said came true. In the anime timeline, Kushina was kidnapped! Hyuga Hinata was kidnapped! These are really the methods of the enemy country!

Seeing that everyone had their own opinions, the argument was getting intense!

At this time, Dihuangwan remained silent, the advisory group also remained silent, Sarutobi Hiruzen remained motionless, and Uzumaki Mito did not even raise his eyelids.

Tsunade wanted to speak, but when she saw the state of Dihuangwan and the others, she suddenly thought of something. She looked at her grandmother and finally knew the purpose of her attending the meeting in person!

Finally, it was Sarutobi Hiruzen who spoke first: "Everyone, please be quiet!"

When everyone saw that the Hokage had spoken, they all shut up and stopped arguing!

"Members of the advisory group, please share your opinions!"

The advisory group members Shimura Danzo, Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En, and Akimichi Tofu were all speechless. Hiruzen, you should make the decision yourself. Aren't you just putting us on the fire in front of Mito-sama?

However, since Sarutobi Hiruzen had spoken, the others had to express their opinions first!

Several people looked at each other, as if waiting for others to speak first. In the end, it was Shimura Danzo who couldn't hold back and spoke first: "I think it's a bit too radical to publicly condemn this kind of thing directly! It's easy to give people the impression that Konoha is arrogant and strong. However, I think we can send separate letters to the relevant responsible countries to condemn them! It can also have a deterrent effect!"

Shimura Danzo's words were supported by a large number of people, and the other consultants also nodded in agreement!

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything. He looked at Uzumaki Mito beside him. Uzumaki Mito still didn't raise his eyelids. Then he looked at Tsunade and Dihuangmaru.

Tsunade was about to speak, but saw Dihuangwan giving her a look. She understood what he meant and held back her words, but she clenched her fists. Obviously, Shimura Danzo's words seemed the most appropriate on the surface, but she did not agree!

"Who do you think is the real culprit behind the crisis in Whirlpool Country?" Dihuangwan spoke.

After hearing Dihuangwan’s words, everyone said, of course it is the Whirlpool Country!

Dihuangwan looked in the direction of Tsunade and Kurama Feiyun. Tsunade was still wondering why Dihuangwan asked such an idiotic question, but Kurama Feiyun, who was next to Tsunade, reacted. She was very thoughtful and understood what Dihuangwan meant in seconds!

So Kurama Feiyun said: "It's Uzushio Village and Konoha Village!"

Everyone was stunned after hearing this, and Uzumaki Mito also opened his eyes and showed an expression of approval!

"That's right, what Jonin Kurama Hiyun said is right. The real owner is not the Whirlpool Country, not the Whirlpool Village, but the Whirlpool Village and Konoha Village!" Dihuangmaru said.

"The Uzushio Village and Konoha have always had a friendly relationship for generations! This has never changed! Unlike the so-called alliances signed between Konoha and other countries, those alliances are just temporary documents signed for the sake of interests and can be torn up at any time! This is also the reason why two consecutive Ninja World Wars occurred!"
