Volume 1 Chapter 267 If the Mist Village wants to fight, then Konoha will fight to the end
Although Hatake Sakumo failed in his assassination attempt on the Third Mizukage and escaped, this was more beneficial to his public opinion threat to Danzo.
But Danzo didn't intend to take the blame.
Why did Danzo suggest that Hatake Sakumo sneak into the Mist Village to gather intelligence?
Isn't it just to make Hatake Sakumo make a mistake, and then use public opinion to discredit him?
Who could have thought that Hatake Sakumo was so powerful and directly planted such a huge disaster for himself.
Regardless of whether the Mist Village and Konoha go to war or not, Hatake Sakumo will never be able to get rid of the blame.
Danzo has plenty of ways to discredit him.
Once Hatake Sakumo's reputation was tarnished, the rumors about the fourth generation's successor were dispelled.
By that time, anyone who chose to support Hatake Sakumo would quickly distance themselves from him.
"Huruzen, Danzo has indeed never contacted Hatake Sakumo privately. I don't think he would do anything that would harm the interests of the village."
Soon, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, who received the news, arrived and both chose to speak for Danzo.
Regardless of whether Danzo is doing something behind the scenes or not, they need to support Danzo because it is in their common interest.
The Third Hokage was just suspicious and had no evidence to prove that Danzo had hinted to Hatake Sakumo to assassinate the Third Mizukage while he was gathering intelligence.
With the help of two people from the Elder Council, the Third Hokage quickly let down his guard.
"Ah~~~"
Sighing, the Third Hokage said:
"Send Tsunade over here."
This matter is neither small nor big.
To put it simply, it is just to eliminate the shadows of other villages and weaken the strength of other villages.
To put it in a broader sense, it is a provocation to the Mist Village.
This might lead to a war between the two villages.
Soon, Tsunade also arrived at the Hokage's office.
"First of all, I want to know if anyone has contacted Hatake Sakumo and instructed him to assassinate the Third Mizukage."
The Third Hokage asked first.
Tsunade rested her chin on one hand, not even wanting to answer.
She was the last person to do such a thing.
If no one else has it, it means that this is a personal problem of Hatake Sakumo and has nothing to do with the top management.
After all, the village sent Hatake Sakumo to gather intelligence, not to assassinate the Third Mizukage.
No one answered, and the Third Hokage continued:
"Now the Mist Village requires us, Konoha, to give a reasonable explanation, otherwise they will start a war because of this."
If a war breaks out because of something like this, Konoha will be in big trouble.
The Second Ninja World War had only ended a few years ago, and the Third Hokage had no intention of fighting with other villages.
This is indeed not good news.
Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En had serious expressions, while Danzo sat on a chair with an expressionless face, thinking about what he would do next when Hatake Sakumo came back.
Only Tsunade didn't care about the threat from the Mist Village.
“Then let’s fight. If we had to go to war when the village’s shadow was assassinated, this world would have been destroyed long ago.
Even if there is a war, Konoha will not fear any enemy."
It's as if our Konoha's Hokage will not be assassinated.
The God of Ninja, the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, was hit by a kunai thrown at him from eight hundred miles away.
Although this person had been chased by Hashirama Senju's Wood Release clone for several days and was scared to death.
(This is just a joke, don’t take it seriously.)
"Although no one wants to see a war break out, the Mist Village used this as an excuse to declare war on Konoha, which means that they are already prepared for war and are just waiting for an excuse."
"Let's wait until Senior returns to the village before making a decision. As for the Mist Village, there is no need to bother with them."
Not to mention an assassination, even if the Third Mizukage was really killed, as long as the Mist Village did not want to go to war, they would still choose to restrain themselves.
On the other hand, the Mist Village wants to go to war with Konoha, and regardless of whether this incident happened or not, the Mist Village will still declare war on Konoha.
If that’s the case, why bother with the Mist Village?
We'll talk about everything after Hatake Sakumo comes back.
The Mist Village questioned Konoha in such a high-profile manner and even threatened war, which meant that Hatake Sakumo was not caught and successfully escaped from the Mist Village and the Land of Water.
As long as we wait for Hatake Sakumo to return to Konoha, the truth will be revealed.
To put it bluntly, if you, the Mist Village, are really capable, then just declare war. At worst, Konoha will follow.
Tsunade doesn't know what it means to back down, or what it means to negotiate and resolve a problem peacefully!
It's just a trivial matter, yet you still want to threaten war?
You guys are dreaming.
"Well........"
Koharu Utane originally wanted to say that peace is the most important thing and it would be best if there is no war.
First send someone to contact the Mist Village, and then resolve the matter through negotiation.
Who knew that Tsunade would shut her up as soon as she opened her mouth.
If she continued talking about negotiations or contacting the Mist Village at this time, she would definitely be ridiculed by Tsunade for being timid.
After thinking about it, Utane Koharu decided to remain silent.
Mitomon En is similar.
What's rare is that this time Danzo stood on Tsunade's side:
"Tsunade is right. Konoha will not be threatened by war. If the Mist Village intends to start a war, war is still inevitable regardless of whether we give a reasonable explanation or not. Everything can be discussed after Hatake Sakumo returns."
"If the Mist Village still wants to go to war, then Konoha will be next."
Although Danzo wanted to discredit Hatake Sakumo, he was still a hawkish member of Konoha after all.
When threatened with war, Danzo was the first one to refuse.
"Then we can discuss this after Hatake Sakumo returns to the village."
After Tsunade and Danzo said this, the Third Hokage calmed down.
If the Mist Village wants to make trouble, just follow them and send some people to support the coastline garrison to prevent the Mist Village from launching a sneak attack without declaring war.
The meeting was over and everyone else left, and Tsunade placed some documents from the logistics department on the desk. These documents needed to be signed and sealed by the Third Hokage.
"Tsunade, do you think Hatake Sakumo will really assassinate the Third Mizukage?"
Tsunade was stunned when she put down the documents and prepared to leave:
"I think it's unlikely. Senior is not an impulsive person. There must be some misunderstanding.
It is even possible that the senior ran into the Third Mizukage while collecting intelligence, and his disguise was discovered, so he had to take action. "
"What if the Mist Village really wants to go to war with Konoha?"
"Then fight!"
Do you really think Konoha is made of mud?
If you, the Mist Village, dare to declare war, I, Konoha, will fight you!
Don't scare people with war.
Tsunade's decisiveness and domineering attitude made the little doubt in the Third Hokage's heart disappear.
He was worried that if a war broke out, it would be a devastating blow to Konoha's development.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciples are not afraid of war and dare to fight when they say so. As a teacher, how can he retreat?
Besides, Tsunade is not wrong. It's just a trivial matter. Is it worth it for your Mist Village to declare war on Konoha?
Which village’s shadow has never been assassinated?
When Sarutobi Hiruzen was assassinated by spies, he did not shout for war.
"The teacher is very pleased that you have such thoughts and ambitions. Send a message to Jiraiya and ask him to return to the village as soon as possible.
No matter what, we in Konoha must be fully prepared."
"If the Mist Village wants to fight, Konoha will fight to the end."
It was rare for the old man to be so domineering.
Tsunade left the Hokage's office contentedly and went to the Intelligence Department, asking the people in the Intelligence Department to contact Jiraiya and ask him to return to the village as soon as possible.
Whether the Mist Village is serious or threatening, Konoha must be prepared.
