Volume 1 Chapter 274 Hatake Sakumo is opposed by Danzo
"You go to the front!"
Tsunade ruthlessly lifted Jiraiya up, pushed him forward, and then decisively sat next to Chitsuki.
Still waving his hands in disdain:
"You smell weird, you must have been to a lot of messy places."
“Ahem!!”
A cough came from the conference room, suppressing the laughter.
Jiraiya, the person involved, lowered his head and ran to the front seat and sat down.
Stay away from me.
Orochimaru moved his position in disgust.
Why! !
Why do you all dislike me?
Hatake Sakumo, who was next to Jiraiya, sniffed and said sympathetically:
"Jiraiya, although traveling abroad is cool and carefree, you still have to pay attention to hygiene. This smell is a bit strong."
"............"
If someone dislikes you, it may be because he or she dislikes you.
If two people dislike you, it may be that you don’t get along with them.
But if three people dislike you, then you have to think about it.
If everyone is disliking you, it means the problem lies with you.
Jiraiya immediately decided to go to the bathhouse to wash after the meeting!
Bring more clothes with you when you go out, or buy some extra clothes on the way!!
It was very embarrassing for Zilai to be disliked by everyone.
"I'm afraid war is inevitable."
"The Mist Village must be crazy to think of going to war with us."
Many people gathered in the conference room to discuss this matter.
Soon, the Third Hokage, Danzo, Utatane Koharu and others arrived together.
"Hokage-sama!"
Everyone stood up and greeted him.
The Third Hokage smiled and nodded, then walked to the chief seat and sat down, with Danzo and the other two sitting on either side of him.
At this time, Nara Shikaku, who had been transferred to the side of the Third Hokage, quickly distributed various documents prepared by the Third Hokage, and then stood behind the Third Hokage to act as an assistant.
What does it smell like?
The Third Hokage was about to speak when he suddenly smelled a strange smell, like something had gone bad.
So I looked in the direction where the smell came from.
After taking one look at the blushing Jiraiya, the Third Hokage understood what was going on.
He didn't point it out, at least he gave Jiraiya some face.
"Everyone, please take a look at the document in your hands first. This is intelligence targeting the Mist Village."
Everyone opened the file and read it carefully.
Qianyue was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Hatake Sakumo had such a big harvest this time. A lot of hidden information of the Mist Village was dug out by him.
After everyone had seen enough, the Third Hokage spoke:
"I believe you all know about the conflict between our village and the Mist Village in recent times. The Mist Village has now threatened Konoha with war. This is something that I personally and even the village cannot accept."
"Just because Konoha loves peace doesn't mean it fears war!"
"The convening of the Jonin Conference means that war may be coming. According to the intelligence sent by the Whirlpool Country garrison, the ninja activities of the Mist Village have been very frequent in recent times. They are also preparing for war."
"Teacher, is war really unavoidable?"
Regardless of whether he was afraid or not, Jiraiya still did not want a war to break out.
That would mean many deaths in both Konoha and the Mist Village.
"I don't want to either."
In response to Jiraiya's question, the Third Hokage said worriedly:
"The Mist Village is determined to start a war, and we can only choose to fight back, otherwise the enemy will invade the Land of Fire and ignite the flames of war within the Land of Fire."
I have no further questions, please continue.
Since war is inevitable, it is useless to say more. Instead of hoping that the enemy will not attack you, it is better to be prepared for war.
The Third Hokage was right, the war must not spread to the Land of Fire.
Otherwise, the Fire Nation will face incalculable losses.
"After the meeting, the village will organize a ninja army to station at the coastline to guard against enemy invasion."
Among the five major ninja villages, the Mist Village and the Sand Village are equally matched and are both vying for the role of the weakest ninja village.
Coupled with the brutal rule of the Blood Mist Era, the military strength of the Mist Village is not that strong. It is undoubtedly far inferior to the two tough rivals, the Cloud Village and the Rock Village.
After discussing with the elders and the Hokage's assistant, the Third Hokage decided to form an elite force and go to the border to guard against the possible attack from the Mist Village at any time.
This elite force will be formed around family ninjas.
This is one of the main reasons for holding the Jonin Conference.
In addition, they are fighting in the sea, which is the battlefield of the Mist Village ninjas. This will invisibly weaken the strength of the Konoha ninjas. Most of the civilian ninjas with ordinary strength who go there will be cannon fodder.
"Hokage-sama, since the war started because of me, I am willing to go to the border and fight against the Mist Village."
Hatake Sakumo volunteered.
The incident was caused by him, and although no one blamed him, the Mist Village just wanted an excuse.
But Hatake Sakumo couldn't convince himself to stay in the village, he wanted to go to the battlefield.
Will Lord Hokage agree?
With Hatake Sakumo's status, position and prestige, as long as he goes to the front line, the right to command the battlefield will be in his hands.
However, Hatake Sakumo's reputation is already high enough. If he can perform great deeds on the battlefield, the position of the fourth generation may be basically secured.
"no!!"
The first one who couldn't sit still was Danzo, and he objected immediately.
If Hatake Sakumo becomes the candidate for the fourth generation, what will happen to Danzo?
We must not let Hatake Sakumo go to the battlefield.
Danzo's objection attracted everyone's attention.
It was just as expected.
Chitsuki knew that Danzo would be restless.
"Danzo, tell me why you object."
Even though the Third Hokage has his own little thoughts and plans, he will not strongly oppose them in person.
But if someone steps forward, things will be different.
Why?
Hatake Sakumo didn't understand why Danzo was objecting.
Facing Hatake Sakumo's puzzled gaze, Danzo stood up.
"The reason why the Mist Village threatened our Konoha with war was all because of you. If you go to the battlefield at this time, you will definitely cause displeasure to the enemy.
This will affect the direction of the war, so I hope you can stay in the village."
"As for the candidate for the front-line commander, I think Orochimaru is a good choice."
If there is no opportunity, then find opportunities for yourself.
The road is blocked by someone, so just kick the person blocking the road off. This is Danzo's plan.
Danzo was well aware that many people did not submit to him, and it was impossible for him to go to the front line to serve as a battlefield commander. Tsunade was the first one who was unhappy about this.
In that case, I'll just have to step aside and choose Orochimaru who wants to cooperate with me.
If Orochimaru is not able to do it, then Jiraiya will do it. In short, anyone can go up. Even if Tsunade throws Chitsuki up, Danzo will not object.
As long as this person is not Hatake Sakumo.
You are already wearing the Hokage half-sleeves. If I let you, Hatake Sakumo, go to the battlefield to brush up your reputation, then when the war is over, will you be wearing the Hokage robe?
This must never happen.
“That makes sense.”
The Third Hokage pretended to think and agreed with Danzo's statement.
"Hokage-sama, I......"
"Okay, Sakumo, what Danzo said makes sense. If you go to the front line now, it will only anger the enemy, which is not good for the war. I think you should stay in the village and rest first."
"yes."
It seemed that he had no chance, so Hatake Sakumo sat down depressed.
What is going on?
Nawaki and Minato pulled on Chitsuki's clothes and Chitsuki glared at them.
Stop it, we're watching a show.
Can't you see it yourselves?
This is because they are afraid of being too successful and causing trouble for the master!!
No, what a bullshit lord! They are afraid that Hatake Sakumo will directly become the fourth generation candidate after the war.
