NOVEL NEXT Chapter 56
"Then we can only go to war with Kumogakure. Although Konoha has lost several high-ranking families and the Sandaime Hokage, these forces did not seem to have played any role in previous wars. Can Konoha survive without them? Lord Danzo, for the Uchiha clan, we are willing to mobilize the entire clan's combat power to win this war for our compatriots."
Uchiha Setsuna, who had been sitting aside and had not spoken for a long time, volunteered to propose. Now that a group of elders such as Koharu have died, clan elders like Uchiha Setsuna, Hyuga Karamon, Akimichi Toukaze and others have been promoted by Danzo to become new members of the Konoha Elders' Council.
"Well, I am very confident about the Uchiha clan's fighting power, but the other side is after all a country's strength, and the Uchiha clan alone cannot stand alone, so in the early stage, Princess Tsunade will be the commander, leading the Uchiha, Hyuga, Ino-Shika-cho, Aburame, Inuzuka and other clan forces, and cooperating with 6,000 civilian ninjas to fight the enemy. Whether to send reinforcements later will depend on the actual results of the battle."
Looking through the statistics of Konoha's current fighting power on the table, Danzo thought for a long time and finally made a decision.
"This... Lord Godaime, please choose someone else as the commander-in-chief. I am afraid that I don't have the energy to lead this battle due to personal reasons."It seems that the old man has not mentioned his hemophobia to Danzo yet.……
"Hmm? Tsunade, now is not the time to act on impulse. Today's Konoha... Never mind. Since you have a compelling reason, I will be the commander-in-chief myself. Tsunade, you stay in the rear."
Danzo, who wanted to persuade Tsunade, saw Tsunade's obscure code. Although he didn't know the reason, since Tsunade didn't say it, it meant that there was some inconvenient reason. In this case, it seems that the commander-in-chief will go by himself.
""Godaime-sama, why do you need to go out in person to deal with a crippled Kumogakure? If other ninja villages see this, they will think that Konoha is deserted. By then, other hidden villages may not be able to resist getting involved." At this time, the representative of the Inuzuka clan on the left side spoke up to remind him.
"Not really.
The Anbu has already sent back news from the other major hidden villages.
Kirigakure is implementing the Blood Mist Policy.
The Mizunotsuki clan, which is well-known in the ninja world, has been purged by Kirigakure's top brass.
They are now planning to attack the Kaguya clan.
How can they have the energy to intervene in the affairs between us and Kumogakure? As for the Kazekage, the national strength of the Wind Country ranks last among the five major countries.
The wounds left by the three wars will not be able to recover for another three to five years.
The only thing they need to worry about is the Land of Earth.
"
Faced with Inuzuka Itsuki's reminder, Danzo directly took out the intelligence that the Anbu had investigated and spread it on the table.
"Land of Earth? Ohnoki, that old guy, probably won't live long, right? With the current strength of Konoha, we can fight against the crippled Land of Thunder and Earth. Besides, it's not certain who the Land of Earth will fight against, after all, the relationship between the Land of Thunder and Earth has never been friendly."
This battle is an opportunity for the Uchiha clan to rise. I am old, so I can't count on the Sixth Hokage, but I have to lay the groundwork from now on. Under fair competition, the Seventh Hokage will definitely be the Uchiha clan's.
"Elder Setsuna is right. We just need to defeat the reckless Kumogakure. Then the wavering Iwagakure will know what to do. We can even form an alliance with Iwagakure."
It seems that we need to get someone to contact the fence-sitters at Iwagakure. It would be bad if Iwagakure was lured over by Kumogakure.
"However, regarding the commander-in-chief, I still agree with Elder Inuzuka's point of view. The Fifth Generation is indeed not suitable to go to the front line in person. How about letting the head of our clan, Uchiha Fugaku, do it for us?"
Such a good opportunity to gain merit cannot be missed. As long as Fugaku can lead Konoha to win this battle, let alone the Seventh Generation, even in the election of the Sixth Generation, the Uchiha clan will have a certain say.
"Uchiha Fugaku? This person is a good candidate. During the Third World War, it was this person who led the Uchiha clan to resist the attack of the Kirigakure clan. In terms of experience, if the older generation is not counted, there is really no one more suitable than him in Konoha except Tsunade-sama and Jiraiya-sama."Is it true
? The Uchiha clan has begun to exert its strength. It seems that the fifth generation has already discussed the position of the head coach with the Uchiha clan in private. Forget it, anyway, Ino-Shika-Chou is not going to compete for the Hokage, so why not do them a favor?
"Shikaku is right. If I am to take charge of the rear, the most suitable candidates are Tsunade, Jiraiya and Uchiha Fugaku. Tsunade is not available for personal reasons, and Jiraiya is not in the village at the moment. It seems that this important task can only be handed over to the head of the Fugaku clan. I would like to trouble Elder Setsuna to go back and inform them."
After all, the Uchiha clan is your clan, so we should take special care of them. I hope Fugaku can achieve some impressive results.
""Understood, Lord Hokage! The Uchiha clan will go all out!"
For so many years, the Uchiha clan has been suppressed. The family has worked hard for this moment.
"Well, now that the commander-in-chief has been chosen, let's go back and prepare. Shikaku, the logistics department is now in your hands. Those who are capable will do more work. Please work hard."
I wonder if the adults will participate in this battle. It seems that the adults are very interested in the corpses of the jonin. It seems that I have to ask the Root to collect more corpses during this war.
"Yes~ Lord Godaime!"×N
………………
Late at night, root base~
"Ryoma, what did Orochimaru say?"
Looking at this capable general who had been away for a long time, Danzo's expression was as stern as ever.
"Lord Danzo, Lord Orochimaru is about to leave for Kirigakure. Lord Orochimaru plans to come and discuss the Wood Release issue with Lord Danzo in person after the matter is settled."
How long has it been since I left? So many things have happened in Konoha. The Third Hokage was actually driven out by Lord Danzo.……
"Well, thank you for your hard work. Go and prepare the relevant equipment and resources for the Wood Release experiment. Orochimaru will probably need them."
Wood Release experiment subjects are good things. If Konoha can fully cultivate Wood Release experiment subjects, then the shitty Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Sandgakure, and Mistgakure will all be a bunch of chickens and pottery dogs.
"Yes, Master Danzo, I will go down and prepare right away."
It seems that Master Danzo is planning to vigorously develop the Wood Release experiment? If the success rate can be improved, I may be able to possess the power of the legendary God of Ninja World in my lifetime.
"Well, remember, you have to call me the Fifth Hokage from now on!"
These root members that I have trained are useful, but their thinking is too rigid and they are not smooth enough.…………
"Uh, yes, Lord Godaime Hokage, I will take my leave~"
Someone like Danzo actually cares about this…………
