Chapter 456: Lu Jiu Directly Cuts Off the Firewood
I'm begging you, can you please stop tossing me?
Shikaku felt like he was worried more than ever.
Naruto, the Hokage, is messing around, and the Hokage Assistant wants to cause trouble again!
Who the hell can bear to leave the village under his management?
"How about I go?"
Shikaku can also lead troops in battle.
Compared with Yan personally leading the troops into the Earth Kingdom, he would rather lead the troops to fight by himself.
No, I went to the frontline camp to direct the operations.
For a person like him, the village would not let him go into battle in person. At best, he would be placed in the camp to make suggestions.
"..."
Yan was speechless: "Lu Jiu, do you really have no confidence in me?"
"No, I don't have confidence in myself, so I'd better not talk about this matter, Mr. Assistant. Otherwise, I can only convene the elders and hold a meeting of the elders."
The more he thought about it, the less at ease he felt, and Lujiu took a cruel move:
"The assistant doesn't want to see the elders collectively oppose you leaving the village, right?"
Damn it! !
Are you still studying?
The elder group is usually a dispensable existence, but once the critical moment comes, let alone the Hokage's assistance, even the Hokage can unite to oppose it.
For example, Shikaku was cornered and he called a meeting of the elders.
Then it was suggested that the Hokage assistant could not leave the village and enter the battlefield, and needed to sit in the village.
He was absolutely sure to convince others to vote in favor and force Yan to stay.
"Roll, roll, roll!!"
At this moment, Yan wanted to kick Shikaku out.
Look at what you can do, the elders have moved out. Without me in the village, wouldn't Konoha be Konoha?
He knew with his toes that as long as a meeting of the elders was held, most people would oppose him leaving the village and personally leading his troops to the territory of the Kingdom of Earth.
The danger is first, and the second is that the people in the elders don’t want certain people to jump out again.
There must be no chance at all, otherwise everyone will be unlucky together.
Anyway, I won't be convinced by you this time.
Shikaku jumped out of the way.
He had no intention of convening a meeting of the elders, but took a detour and went straight to the Sarutobi clan.
He needed to talk to the Third Hokage.
"Shikaku wants to see me?"
Taking down the pipe from his mouth, the Third Hokage looked puzzled:
"Let him in."
Since Shikaku wants to see him, it’s better to meet him.
"Sandaime-sama."
Entering the house, Shikaku wanted to say hello to the Third Hokage who was sitting on the futon.
"sit down."
The Third Hokage motioned to Shikaku to sit down and talk, and not to be so polite.
Shikaku was not polite, sat cross-legged on the floor opposite the Third Hokage, and said straight to the point:
"I came here to see the Sandaime-sama today. There is something I want to discuss with you."
"Please say."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jiu, who was sitting opposite, stood up and bowed ninety degrees.
The third generation of Hokage can't be punished directly.
What is this for?
So formal?
"Shikaku, what are you doing?"
Shikaku kept his ninety-degree bow unchanged and said sincerely:
"My subordinate wants to ask the Sandaime-sama to save the village."
"????"
A series of question marks were enough to show what was going on in the Third Hokage's mind at this time. He was really confused.
It seems that there is nothing serious in the village. Is it serious enough for me to personally come to the rescue?
Isn't it good?
Could it be that something happened to Tsunade?
The Third Hokage suddenly lost his composure. Tsunade couldn't let anything happen to her. Once something happened, she would be in big trouble.
"Shikaku, sit down and talk first."
The Third Hokage's voice became heavy.
Lu Jiu also quickly sat down on his knees, put his hands on his knees, and said seriously:
"Sandaime-sama, the current situation in the shinobi world is chaotic. The village seems calm, but in fact it is secretly turbulent, like a duck floating on water.
A slight turbulence will lead to an irreversible situation. "
In today's ninja world, Konoha is really stable, with food in hand and no worries, and the Ministry of Finance also has enough money to deal with all kinds of outstanding troubles.
The other villages were fighting each other, and it was very lively. Konoha sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, enjoying the development.
Unfortunately, problems began after Tsunade ran away.
"So what's your purpose here?"
The Third Hokage is not someone who is easy to fool.
Lu Jiu opened his mouth, and finally said with a wry smile:
"Sir, the war is coming soon."
"What?"
The current third-generation Hokage is really old-age, and he is almost deaf to what is going on outside the window.
It's not that he doesn't want to inquire about information, but that the people of the Sarutobi clan are very honest and don't dare to talk nonsense.
The ANBU people couldn't be mobilized, let alone ask questions.
Therefore, the Third Hokage learned the news relatively late, and he had no idea that the village was about to face such a major event as war.
Even though the war was cruel, he was frightened and jumped up anxiously:
"Is it the Iwa Ninja Village or the Cloud Ninja Village, are they planning to attack the Country of Fire?"
Why is it that when war is mentioned, your first reaction, sir, is who fought?
Can't we just fight?
Shikaku was silent for a while and chose to tell everything.
Now that we are here, there is no need to hide it anymore.
"Since very early on, Auxiliary-sama has been in contact with Raikage Ai of Kumo Ninja Village.
With the alliance's idea of targeting the Iwa Ninja Village.
It was not until last year that the agreement was made. Now the Cloud Village has sent an envoy, hoping that Konoha will prepare as soon as possible. When the Cloud Village fully intervenes in the war, it will be time for Konoha to launch a fatal blow to the Rock Village. "
"........"
All kinds of secrets came out of Shikaku's mouth, and the Third Hokage's mouth was big.
So there are so many secrets in the village, and I don't know?
I was worried that other villages would attack us, but in the end, it was a good thing that Konoha didn't attack others.
The plan has been perfected, and we are just waiting for the Cloud Village to fully intervene in the war.
Deal a fatal blow to the Rock Village...
Hiss~~~This plan is a bit exciting.
After digesting these confidential information, the Third Hokage also understood Shikaku's intention to find him.
He hopes that he will personally lead the village's ninja army and personally deal a fatal blow to the Rock Village.
Then leave Yan in the village, and by the way, he can also clear out his unstable factors Go.
"........"
Is this old man so unreliable?
At this moment, the Third Hokage looked at Shikaku with excitement and deep helplessness.
He was excited because he could personally avenge the Rock Village.
He was helpless because he had become the target of everyone's defense in the village.
Shikaku's intention was too straightforward. He was just worried that he would cause trouble.
It seemed that Uchiha Yan wanted to lead the army to attack the Land of Earth, but Shikaku and others were worried.
So he came to me specially, hoping that I would take over Yan's position and leave Yan in the village to take charge of the overall situation.
The front line is important, but the people in the rear are more important.
Without someone who can calm the situation, all kinds of messy things can come out.
