Chapter 147 The Storm Is Coming (1st Update, Please Subscribe!)
"Hiruzhan, you must know why I came to you."
As soon as Danzo entered the Hokage's office, he faced the Third Generation directly, as if he had come to hold him accountable.
The Third Hokage looked hesitant and said, "I hope you will stop interfering in Naruto's affairs."
Danzo frowned and snorted coldly:
"Hmph! You are so naive, you can't even convince Jiraiya.
Even if I don't interfere, do you really think it's a good thing for the jinchūriki to have emotions?
You will regret it when he gets provoked and explodes in the future.
Even if you insist, what's the point of letting the Uchiha clan members get close to the Jinchuuriki?
Don't you know what the Uchiha clan has done in private in recent years?
The Sharingan can control the Nine-Tails. You don't know what the consequences will be if you let the Uchiha clan get close to the Jinchuriki, right? "
Sandai shook his head and said: "The matter is not as serious as you said. Naruto is not just with Qianhe, he just happened to meet Itachi. I believe Itachi would not do such a thing."
Danzo sneered: "Do you believe Itachi? But his father is Fugaku, the leader of the Uchiha clan. Do you think he can make the decision on his own in some matters?
Even if Itachi wouldn't do such a thing, there's no guarantee that the Uchiha clan wouldn't take this opportunity to control the tailed beast.
I will never give in on this point. "
Now Danzo no longer raised any objections to Qianhe, Ayane and others' contact with Naruto.
Because in his opinion, Qianhe and Aayin were both members of the third generation lineage. One of them was a disciple of Jiraiya, and the other was the granddaughter of the great elder Hyuga. There was no doubt about this.
The third generation still wanted to firmly control the Jinchuuriki in his hands, so he disagreed with his plan.
Danzo also saw this fundamental issue of interests very clearly, and there was no point in arguing about it.
As for the Uchiha clan, they just maintained the basic policy of the past. Whether it was the third generation or other advisors and elders, even if they did not support him, they would not object. Basically, they acquiesced and maintained a certain tacit understanding.
Danzo knows the Sharingan better than the Third Generation and others. He knows that the Sharingan can indeed control the Nine-Tails.
As long as he first prevents the Uchiha clan from getting close to the Kyuubi, and waits until he gets the Uchiha clan's Sharingan in the future, the Jinchuuriki will be able to return to his control sooner or later, and then there will be no resistance to becoming Hokage.
"I understand, I will remind the Uchiha clan."
Faced with Danzo's pressing pressure, Sandai hesitated for a while and finally chose to give in, because the main conflict now was no longer the conflict within the village.
"How is the situation on the front line? Do you really not consider my proposal?" Seeing that the third generation gave in, Danzo changed the topic.
The third generation shook his head and said: "I have sent someone to the Fire Capital to inform the daimyo. The daimyo has contacted the daimyo of the Land of Thunder. The two sides are discussing the issue of promoting peace between the two countries and a truce between Konoha and Kumogakure. discuss.
I believe that under the leadership of the two daimyo, Kumogakure will eventually come to a truce with Konoha under the influence of the daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder. "
"I understand." Danzo rarely argued with the Third Hokage anymore, because he knew that the matter had already caused the daimyo of the two countries to come forward, and Konoha and Kumogakure had recently had a truce for almost half a month. Obviously, the daimyo of the two countries had come forward. Some kind of agreement has been reached.
Although Konoha and Kumogakure are both the military forces of Fire and Thunder, they are independent and do not directly obey the orders of the daimyo. But if they really want to fight, they will not be able to fight if the daimyo does not provide financial and material support. how long.
In the end, the attitude of the daimyo can still affect the strategic policy of Ninja Village to a considerable extent.
After walking out of the Hokage's office, Danzo's face darkened and he cursed in his mind:
"Damn it Hiruzen, are you so eager to find a daimyo just to avoid the battle? Are you afraid that the command mistakes made in the three battles will happen again and I will catch you?
The position of Hokage will be mine sooner or later, one day..."
****
The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.
High-level meetings are ongoing.
"Lord Raikage, let the war begin!"
"Yes! Lord Raikage, the ninjas of Konoha have been beaten to a crawl by us, and we will be able to invade the Land of Fire soon!"
"Yes! Raikage-sama! I request to fight!"
"As long as we send out a small team to conduct a feint attack and a surprise attack force, we can bypass the Fire Country outpost within a day, and then conduct an exceptional pincer attack to annihilate Konoha's vanguard troops in one fell swoop."
"Yes! Konoha's vanguard are all elite Jonin. As long as they are annihilated, Konoha will be severely damaged and will no longer be able to fight Kumogakure!"
"As long as Raikage-sama and Hi-sama take action, these Konoha jonins can be easily captured!"
At the meeting, many jounin decided to start the war.
During the dinner, the Fourth Raikage glanced at Takayama Ishikawa who was sitting beside him.
After more than half a year of training, although the seriously injured Takayama Ishikawa's strength declined, his life was saved.
As an elite jounin who has made outstanding achievements in three battles, he has a high prestige among the jonins, comparable to that of Tutai.
Although he has not spoken at the meeting, there are many jounin who have spoken on his behalf.
Without his incitement, these people would not be so excited.
"This is the document just sent by the daimyo. Take a look at it for yourselves." Facing the excited jounin, the fourth generation Raikage threw out a scroll.
At this time, Ishikawa Takayama, who was watching from the sidelines, could not sit still. He quickly opened the scroll to check.
Bang!
"Hmph! Peace talks?! Alliance!? What a joke! He even threatened the village to cut our funding. I think his name means..."
"Ishikawa, please be careful what you say!"
After Takayama Ishikawa read the scroll, he immediately became furious and slammed the table. Just when he was about to say something outrageous, Dodai interrupted him at the right time.
Takayama Ishikawa also knew that he was too excited and forgot to glance at the Fourth Raikage sitting beside him. He sat down again and said: "Master Raikage, do you mean to follow the order of the daimyo and form a peace alliance with Konoha? "
He emphasized the word ‘command’.
"How can that be done!"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"I don't agree!"
"I don't agree either!"
Before the Fourth Raikage could answer, the surrounding ninjas started making a fuss.
This time, the Fourth Raikage could not stop everyone with his last remarks.
The number of jounin who advocated war doubled compared with last time. Even if he kept his word, he could not ignore the opinions of so many jounin. Thinking of this, he glanced at Takayama Ishikawa.
This guy relied on his merits and repeatedly opposed him in meetings. He only shouted for war without even looking at Yunyin's current situation.
What's more important is that the grumpy Fourth Raikage will not allow anyone in the village to be grumpier than him.
"Tudai, what do you think?" The Fourth Raikage asked Tudai again.
Tutai understood, nodded, and then stood up.
As a senior jounin, as soon as he stood up, the jonins around him automatically closed their mouths, wanting to see what he had to say.
"A surprise attack on Konoha is a good strategy." Dodai said unhurriedly.
Hearing his affirmation, the faces of the jounin around him relaxed, it looked like he was in trouble.
However, Todai suddenly changed the topic: "But what about the Hyuga clan in Konoha? There are many Hyuga ninjas on the border. With Byakugan's insight, the surprise attack is a joke!"
"this......"
Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent. Indeed, any sensory ninjutsu was not as powerful as the Hyuga clan's ability to directly 'see' it.
In all previous wars, have they suffered too much from the 'White Eyes'?
"It would be great if our village also had Byakugan." One jounin sighed.
At this time, they calmed down and, without being able to make a sneak attack, they all knew the consequences of confronting Konoha.
"Fight! Of course we have to fight!"
At this time, the Fourth Raikage, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
Everyone's attention was immediately attracted.
"Tudai and Ishikawa stay, the others are ready for war and act according to orders. Before I give the order, no rash actions are allowed or any information can be exposed!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
...
With the approval of the Fourth Raikage, the Jonin all left the meeting room in high spirits. They were really bellicose.
