Chapter 295 Konoha High-Level Meeting

Konoha Village

A few days passed in a flash.

During these days, Xia Mu asked his men to start sorting out the names of the families in Konoha.

Prepare to do something at today's Konoha meeting.

Fugaku could have returned to Uchiha, but he was always worried about Itachi, so he simply stayed at Orochimaru's place.

Anyway, cloning his eyes often requires him to adapt.

It would be more convenient if he was there.

...

Today is Konoha's monthly high-level meeting.

This meeting is a bit special.

Because just a few days ago, the Third Hokage used his power.

He gave the position of an honorary elder to Uchiha.

The number of honorary elders remains unchanged. The Third Hokage was taken from a small ninja clan.

As for whether the Third Hokage was plundering or exchanging interests, no one knows.

Now is a sensitive period. Everyone knows what the Third Hokage is thinking.

Everyone also wants to know what Uchiha Xia Mu is thinking now.

The elders slowly entered the venue, and everyone stared at the seats belonging to the Uchiha clan, where there were two empty stools.

The Third Hokage also sat in the first seat.

He wanted to see whether the Uchiha clan would come or not.

This was very important for the attitude he would take towards the Uchiha clan in the future.

When the time was almost up, an Anbu came and whispered something to the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage nodded and waved for the Anbu to go down.

Then the Third Hokage looked at the door, and other ninjas were also wondering if the Uchiha clan had arrived.

Sure enough, not long after, Xia Mu and Fugaku arrived at the meeting room on time.

And Fugaku closed his eyes, and was led by Xia Mu to sit in the meeting room.

This was the first time that Fugaku appeared in public after the Uchiha clan was attacked.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by his closed eyes.

There was no eyeball in Fugaku's eyes, so his eyelids were sunken, which looked a bit scary.

All the elders had all kinds of thoughts in their minds, but they didn't show any on their faces.

After Fugaku sat down, Xia Mu said to everyone present:

"I'm sorry, everyone. Elder Fugaku was late because of an eye injury."

Then Xia Mu nodded to Hyuga's Hiashi and Hiashi, as a greeting.

Many elders said politely:

"Elder Xia Mu is polite. You came at the right time, but we came too early."

Xia Mu casually exchanged a few polite words with some elders, and then sat down.

This was the first time that Uchiha had entered the leadership meeting of Konoha.

But Fugaku's heart was only slightly rippled.

Then it quickly calmed down.

For him, the current Konoha high-level meeting is no longer what he desires.

For Xia Mu, attending high-level meetings is just a means.

It is not the final result he wants.

So when he came here, Xia Mu didn't have any big emotions.

Some elders would glance at Fugaku's sunken eyes inadvertently, their eyes flickering, and I don't know what they are thinking.

The Third Hokage took his pipe and knocked on the table.

The whole meeting room quickly became quiet.

The Third Hokage spoke first:

"First of all, the first thing to discuss at this meeting is the war between Kumogakure and Kirigakure."

"About the direction of the war and what we need to do to deal with it in Konoha."

All the elders looked at Uchiha Xiamu, after all, it was the first time for Uchiha to come.

See what Uchiha means.

The blind Fugaku came here just to express his attitude, and at other times he just acted as a mascot.

Xia Mu stood up slowly:

"I think the war between Kumogakure and Kirigakure will last a long time."

"The scale of Kumogakure's invasion is very large. The two jinchūriki and the Raikage have all rushed to the front line, and their plans are very ambitious."

"Judging from Kirigakure's current resistance, their jinchūriki is probably in trouble."

"If Kirigakure loses too many people in the first wave of Kumogakure's offensive, it is estimated that they will break up and fight a guerrilla war with Kumogakure."

"It is not known how far Kirigakure will fight Kumogakure."

"But Kirigakure will definitely not sit and wait for death. Now all the ninja villages are preparing for war."

"I think we Konoha should not let the people of Iwagakure pass through, and we should make a decision after the battle situation is clear."

"So we Uchiha have sent corresponding personnel to block Iwagakure on the Shikoku Road."

"We Konoha should actively prepare for war to prevent being caught off guard later."

Xia Mu said a lot.

It seems that he is analyzing the situation for Konoha, but in fact, it is all repetitive talk.

To sum it up, there are two sentences.

We Uchiha and Kumogakure have reached a cooperation, and now we can't let Iwagakure go to fight Kumogakure.

The elders looked at each other, and then looked at the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage thought for a while.

It is a fact that Xia Mu blocked Iwagakure. This is Xia Mu's first speech at the meeting, and he has no intention of refuting him.

"The current situation of Kumogakure and Kirigakure is still unclear. We will make plans after the large army of Kumogakure lands."

Xia Mu then sat down.

In the following time, other elders expressed some opinions on this war.

Koharu Utatane, who is in charge of medical care, said that he wanted to stockpile some medical materials in case there were not enough during the war.

What kind of personnel transfer is needed for the Hinata of the guard team, and if the war starts, the operation mode of the barrier will be changed.

In short, they are all mobilizing around this war.

Xia Mu never stood up to speak again, because he knew that this war would end soon.

He came today for other purposes.

Finally, the boring half an hour passed.

It was time for free proposals.

This time is generally for some interest exchanges in the village.

Xia Mu, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up directly.

Everyone stared at him.

Xia Mu took out a notebook from his body and said:

"I suggest that the Nara clan's deer farm be doubled, raise more deer, and provide more antlers for our Konoha."

The Nara clan is now headed by Shikaku, but the elder is not Shikaku.

It is an elder of the Nara family named Nara Shikago.

Lu He is already old, and his hairstyle is the same as Shikamaru and Shikaku, except that he has some white hair on his temples.

As one of the elder families that joined Konoha in the early days of the Fire Nation.

Usually they are a little low-key, and their members are also very intelligent.

Their family's responsibilities and division of labor are very clear, so in Konoha's meetings, they are rarely needed to speak.

Lu He had been resting with his eyes closed, and he slowly opened his eyes after hearing this.

He said slowly:

"The deer antlers in the village are enough for now. If we expand the deer farm rashly, it will incur unnecessary expenses."

Xia Mu nodded:

"This is the first time that our Uchiha has entered the upper echelons of Konoha. We want to make some contributions to Konoha."

"So..."
