Chapter 2460 Emergency Meeting

It was daytime the next day, in the Hokage Building, conference room.

"Some people may have heard that Moonlight Hayate's body was found near Platycodon City yesterday."

After taking a look around and confirming that all participants were present, the Third Hokage gently put down the hat representing Hokage, pondered for a moment, and said this.

"What? Hayate?"

Upon hearing this, all the ninjas who were suddenly notified of coming for an emergency meeting all changed their faces, and some even exclaimed in surprise.

"how so?"

"impossible!"

Apparently, everyone was quite shocked when they heard the news of Moonlight Gale's death, and several more sounds were heard one after another.

"Did...Orochimaru do it?"

At this time, Hongdou, who had already heard about it, his face slowly became heavy and he said in a deep voice.

Regarding Moonlight Hayate, as the Third Hokage said, Anko already knew about it. It should be said that after Xi Yan discovered the body of Moonlight Hayate last night, she had already learned the news, and from the moment she learned the news, She suspected that Orochimaru did this.

"No, not necessarily, we cannot simply draw a conclusion."

Her inference was quickly denied by Kakashi behind her, who only heard Kakashi say: "Last night, Hayate was probably on normal duty. He might have discovered something and followed him to the vicinity of Platycodon City. According to the available information, Hayate was on duty. According to the information, there was also an Otogakure spy named Kabuto who was in Kikyo City at that time, um... However, this Kabuto is inseparable from Orochimaru."

"Then stop the Chunin Exams and capture Orochimaru."

In response, a slightly angry voice sounded from Hinashiri in front of Kakashi.

"No, that guy showed his identity in front of Anko. In a sense, he is not afraid of the Chunin Exam being suspended. On the contrary, it is very possible that he showed up openly just to suspend the Chunin Exam. And this I believe everyone is well aware of the importance of this Chunin Exam and how much loss it will cause if it is suspended. I don’t need to explain it further. The exam cannot be suspended until there is no reason to suspend it.”

However, his words were quickly denied by the Third Hokage.

"Orochimaru? What's going on?"

And hearing this sentence,

The consultant elder Mito Kaden who was sitting to the right of the Third Hokage frowned, turned his head, looked at the Third Hokage, and asked very seriously.

"I'll explain it to you later, Men Yan."

In response, the Third Hokage turned his head and spoke to Mito Menyan.

After hearing these words and looking at the surrounding ninjas who were the mainstays of the village, Mito Katoyan pursed his lips and finally said nothing.

At the same time, on the other side of the Third Hokage, Koharu, who seemed to be sleeping with his eyes closed to rest, slightly raised his left eye, glanced at the Third Hokage, then closed it again without saying anything else.

"Besides, regardless of the suspension of the Chuunin Exams, Orochimaru has the strength to conquer a small country after all, and he left Konoha with resentment. If we really want to hunt him down in the village, I'm afraid it's not something we should do. .”

At this time, Kakashi spoke again.

"Yes."

After hearing Kakashi's words, the Third Hokage nodded in affirmation.

Um……

This seems to be the case.

With the Third Hokage's affirmation, similar thoughts flashed through the hearts of all the ninjas present, but they also agreed with it.

As one of the three ninjas of Konoha, and among the three ninjas, the third generation of Hokage is the most proud disciple, and they have all experienced that era, and many of them have even participated in the war under Orochimaru. They still have a fairly intuitive understanding of Orochimaru's strength. According to their judgment, Orochimaru definitely possesses the ability to conquer a small country.

At the beginning, Orochimaru defected to Konoha because of his inhumane and unconventional research on forbidden arts. In the past ten years, Orochimaru's strength has probably improved, and it is really not an exaggeration to conquer a small country.

It is obvious that suggestions that are not identical are ill-considered.

It is quite unwise to capture such a ninja who can conquer a small country in the village's main camp.

Although Konoha still has the strength to capture such a ninja, and even if it is in this formation, the certainty will be a bit greater, but if a battle occurs in this formation, then the losses may not be enough to make ends meet.

No matter how strong Orochimaru is, his pursuit priority and influence after capture are not high enough to allow Konoha to risk a battle-level battle in this formation.

If it were Uchiha Nobuhiko, if it really got to the point where he had to be hunted down, Konoha would probably consider setting up the battlefield in this formation.

In other words, if it is Uchiha Nobuhiko who takes the lead now, I am afraid that Konoha will consider arresting him at this time.

Of course, if it is Uchiha Nobuhiko, then they are not the only ones attending this meeting at this time.

At least, all the top combat forces in Konoha, whether they have retired or not, whether they are in the village or outside the village, whether they are not performing tasks or performing tasks, I am afraid that they will all appear at this time. In this conference room.

Therefore, at this time, it is impossible to implement ideas that are not identical enough.

At least, that's the current situation.

And Bing Zu Lei himself, after hearing this, fell silent and did not persist.

"Wait a minute, leave with resentment, and have the strength to conquer a small country. Then after he leaves the village, all countries should pay great attention to such combat power. Moreover, Orochimaru has a good reputation. More than just attention, all countries should want to have this kind of power. Join the fighting force, especially the small country and small ninja village... Wait! Kakashi, you mean, in this chuunin exam, no, in the ninja world, will our allies want to fight Orochi? Maru join forces to betray Konoha!"

After being silent for a while, Namizu Raito seemed to chew Kakashi's words over and over again and muttered to himself. Then, in the second half of the sentence, he suddenly raised his head, as if he had thought of something. As if it was something extraordinary, he exclaimed and said.

After hearing this sentence, in an instant, the expressions of everyone present, including the two elder advisors, changed again, and they all became solemn.

"Those alliance treaties are nothing more than casual agreements."

In response, Kakashi's expression remained unchanged and he spoke quite casually.

"Goo!"

After hearing Kakashi's casual words, the still-suspicious Hinazashi subconsciously glanced at the jounin behind him and swallowed it subconsciously.

Obviously, he knew that Kakashi was right.

And if Kakashi is right, then Konoha may have stood on a forked road at this time, and we must be even more cautious about Orochimaru's matter!

"The past ninja wars also happened like this. The allies tore up their alliances, launched attacks, retaliated, and then retaliated against each other..."

At this time, Kakashi's seemingly casual but extremely heavy words sounded again.

Kakashi...

Following Kakashi's words, everyone's eyes glanced at the man in front of them who had also lost everything.

At the same time, they all understood that Kakashi was right.

For other Ninja Villages that are also the Great Ninja Village, even if they sign a written covenant, its effect is only the level of verbal agreement between the Great Ninja Village and the Little Ninja Village. A formal written covenant is probably only unilateral to the Little Ninja Village. I will carry out God's decree meticulously.

After all, for the covenant, in this ninja world full of treacherous conspiracies, the main thing is to maintain effectiveness. The first is situation, the second is need, and the third is strength.

For the Little Ninja Village, breaking the covenant with the Great Ninja Village may be a matter of life and death, so they can only abide by it. However, the Great Ninja Village violated the covenant in this regard, and the Little Ninja Village can do nothing to them. Naturally, there is nothing Constraint, this is the gap in strength.

As for Konoha and other great ninja villages, they are in a delicate balance. In terms of strength, no one can pose a life-or-death situation to anyone. Therefore, the so-called allies have basically a restrictive power generated by their strength. Like the Great Ninja Village to the Little Ninja Village, it doesn't have much effect.

Then, at this time, why the alliance between the great ninja villages can still be established is because of the two internal and external factors of demand and situation.

These two reasons, in the final analysis, are the interests of the Great Ninja Village.

First of all, there is a supply and demand chain between the Great Ninja Villages, or between the big countries represented by the Great Ninja Villages. For example, the lack of water resources in the Kingdom of Wind and the various needs derived from water resources cannot satisfy the internal demand. needs, so they have to import these needs from the Country of Fire, and some rare herbs and minerals from the Country of Wind are needed by the Country of Fire, so the Country of Fire also has to import from the Country of Wind, and in this way Commercial supply and demand require a stable trading environment. In other words, there is a lower limit for the diplomacy of the Country of Wind and the Country of Fire. They will never let the conflict between the two ninja villages rise to the point where they cannot trade these things. In this way, there is a lower limit for interaction between Sunagakure and Konoha. No matter how they fight, they can only shake hands and make peace in the end. In this way, Sunagakure and Konoha have a guarantee of establishing a non-aggression covenant. This article applies to all great powers and great ninja villages, and as long as there is a guarantee of mutual non-aggression, then no matter what the covenant signed by the two parties, there is a minimum level of mutual non-aggression, or in other words, all regulations may not be followed. But this is the only one that the Shinobi Village will definitely abide by as it is controlled by the country. Even if there is a short-term non-compliance, this covenant will eventually be reached. In this way, no matter how the covenant is broken, each other will have a mutual non-aggression The lower limit ensures the basis for alliances and re-establishment of alliances between the Great Ninja Villages.

In other words, the internal needs of the Ninja Village formed the basis of the covenant.

Then, there is the situation of external factors, which is easier to understand because at the end of every ninja war, basically, all ninja villages form an alliance because of the situation.

Every Ninja World War, in essence, ended when all the Ninja Villages were almost defeated in terms of finances. They urgently needed to restore the supply and demand chain to ensure the national strength of the great country and the financial survival of the Ninja Villages. After all, in addition to part of the mission income, the majority of the income of the Great Ninja Village is also funded by the country to which it belongs. As a military group, although the country does not care much about the Ninja Village, it does not mean that there are no means of restriction. Money is the best means of restriction. .

Otherwise, 70% to 80% of the combat power of the great powers is in the Great Ninja Village. Without this layer of restriction, how could they have such a close relationship of trust?

The daimyo is no fool either.

In terms of personnel, the war is almost dead. If they die again, all the Ninja Village will be completely lost. Even if they win the war, it can only be regarded as a loss. After all, for the Ninja Village, talents are the strength. fundamental.

In this way, a situation was formed in which each side relied on the other and could no longer fight.

So, after making a symbolic compromise and creating a victorious nation, an alliance was made.

The more the situation relies on the other party and the less likely it is to fight, the stronger the covenant will be.

For example, the major ninja villages in the recovery period.

The situation determines the upper limit of the covenant's effectiveness.

This is why, after the war, there is a long period of peace. This is because each village is in a period of recovery after the war. Everyone has to rely on the other, and no one can bear the weight of the war, so each village is very important. They had to abide by the covenant, but after their strength recovered, their wings became stronger again, they became less and less dependent on each other, and they became more and more able to withstand the losses of the war, the covenant became dispensable.

But now is the time when covenants are dispensable.

This is also the alliance rule of the ninja world. Situation determines the upper limit of the covenant's effectiveness, demand determines the lower limit of the covenant's effectiveness, and strength determines whether one is qualified to not abide by the covenant.

"In short, the information we have now is still too little, so there is no need to make wild guesses."

At this time, the words of the Third Hokage seemed to be final, attracting everyone's attention again.

"The Anbu has secretly sent people to collect intelligence from various countries. If we act rashly, we will be in a dangerous situation. The enemy is probably waiting for our chaos."

At this time, Xiaochun, who had been silent all this time, also spoke.

"and……"

Following Koharu's words as he turned to bed, the Third Hokage's lips showed a smile of relief, and he said:

"I trust you very much."

In an instant, when these words fell, looking at the expression of trust and determination on the corner of the mouth of the old man dragging his tired body to support Konoha, all the young mainstay ninjas present quietly showed their determination and confidence. Come up!

"As a last resort, I will gather the power of Konoha to fight! Including the one who has been dead for a long time!"

And at this moment, the third half of the third Hokage's plain but extremely inspiring words came one after another.
