Chapter 910 The Up-and-Coming Shikamaru!
"What!"
"You said that many ninjas have betrayed the village and joined the Lieyang Kingdom?"
"The other party is constantly recruiting villagers?"
…
Jiraiya confirmed one after another.
It's not that there's something wrong with his ears, it's just that the news is too unbelievable.
People from Lieyang Kingdom appeared.
And they are quietly recruiting ninjas and villagers. Now a large number of people have joined each other, estimated to be at least more than 10,000 people.
And now that he can't even pretend, he sent someone to rob him openly.
No wonder Jiraiya couldn't believe such news and would repeatedly confirm whether he heard it correctly.
"Yes, Hokage-sama, these are all true!"
The ANBU once again confirmed that the news just reported was indeed without any moisture.
To know. The ANBU and the ANBU couldn't believe this information at first, but after investigation, they discovered how serious the situation was.
In the past, when Konoha was still around, not to mention tens of thousands of people, even if there were dozens of ninjas in the village, their Anbu would be able to find out immediately.
But now that the village has been destroyed, the ninja clan is scattered everywhere, and so are the villagers, so the ANBU cannot react in time and such omissions occur.
"The Kingdom of the Fierce Sun!!!"
Jiraiya's teeth were almost broken.
He really didn't understand why the other party had a mortal grudge against Konoha, so he had to stare at them and poach them like this.
You know, the other party has previously attracted countless villagers from Konoha, and even many potential geniuses have defected to the other party.
Now I don't even pretend to pretend, I just grab it hard.
Well, in Jiraiya's mind, poaching when Konoha can't take action is indeed no different from robbing.
"Jiraiya, we must find a way to stop the opponent's movements, otherwise we will be in trouble!"
Mito Gate inflammation serious warning.
Although there are many people in Konoha who have the potential to become ninjas, that was before.
After many losses, coupled with Lieyang Kingdom's continuous poaching, especially the departure of several major ninja clans, their talent has been reduced. Now that they have poached so many people, the consequences are extremely serious.
If the Sun Kingdom really wants to poach talents, even if Konoha still has resources, it will not be able to find suitable people to train in the future.
And the consequences of poaching talents have actually been revealed.
If in Konoha in the past, it took 1 resource to train a genin, now it is more than 1.0, or even close to 2.
This happens not because the training methods have changed, but because the talent of the training target has decreased.
The lower the talent, the more resources will be consumed, the longer it will take, and the lower the upper limit will be.
It can be said that the impact of talents on the village is self-evident.
"With our current strength, if we face the Lieyang Kingdom..."
Kakashi interjected 'reasonably'.
He said he was interfering, but in fact he was just trying to make a fuss.
If someone thinks that this will cause Konoha to lose face and decides to confront Reyo Kunigo... that would be great.
Kakashi has always hoped that the Will of the Sun will purify the ninja world, but he always felt that the purification speed was too slow.
If Konoha takes the initiative to start a war against the Sun Country, won't progress improve? .
"No!" Shikamaru suddenly spoke, causing everyone in the office to look over, but he was not nervous, but calmly analyzed: "With the power of Konoha, we cannot be the opponent of the Lieyang Kingdom, let alone the village. During the reconstruction period, we must not face the Lieyang Kingdom!"
Although he is young, ninjas mature very early, and it is not surprising that a young man can decide his whole life at a young age, let alone a teenage Shikamaru.
At this time, except for his experience and mentality, he was not inferior to his father Shikaku in other aspects.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Jiraiya stopped Koharu, who was about to scold him, and motioned for Shikamaru to continue speaking.
"The first thing is to call back those potential ninjas and villagers to the village for monitoring. There are not many of them. It is not difficult to do this. Ordinary villagers will not be interested in Lieyang Kingdom!"
Shikamaru made the point.
It's no secret that the Lieyang Kingdom has been poaching Konoha.
The other party was born in Konoha, and the treatment after joining him was really good, which made it very convenient for the other party to poach people, otherwise he wouldn't be able to poach so many people.
So they took the next step and called the people the other party wanted to poach into the village to monitor them, so that they could prevent the other party from poaching.
Jiraiya's eyes flashed with satisfaction.
Because this strategy is indeed worth trying.
As for ordinary villagers? .
Although he was a bit cold-blooded, Jiraiya was really not worried that these people would leave.
Before Konoha Village was destroyed, they would not restrict these ordinary villagers who had no ninja potential, let alone now.
If ordinary villagers with no ninja potential were poached, the Hokage type would definitely laugh out loud.
Because Konoha never lacks ordinary people.
In the past, countless measures were taken to successfully block ordinary people who wanted to join. As long as there was demand, they could add as many people as they wanted.
"Then show that you won't hesitate to fight. Lieyang Kingdom will definitely not go to war with us over this trivial matter, because we are a coalition force!"
Shikamaru added.
Once the opponent starts a war with Konoha, it will escalate into a full-scale war with the coalition forces, so the opponent will definitely give up.
Unless the other party is willing to take such a big risk just to poach someone.
It can be said that both of Shikamaru's strategies are precise and effective.
Even Xiaochun looked at her differently.
I wanted to scold him before because he spoke without permission, but I didn't mean any harm to him.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
After all, the Nara clan is the core ninja clan of the Hokage system, so how could she have any objection?
"Okay, just do as you said, Asuma, Kakashi, you take the Anbu and pretend to be ready to fight at any time, and notify the scattered ninjas to return to the village!"
Jiraiya made a decisive decision.
Let's do it!
Although Konoha is not a match for the Sun Country, he knows this very well.
But once a fight really breaks out, it means that the other party and the coalition will go to war completely, which is actually a good thing.
Because after the war, the coalition will naturally not fight internally, which means that Konoha can face the outside world with peace of mind, and at the same time, it can take the opportunity to apply for resources from the coalition.
"Yes, Hokage!"*2
Kakashi and Asuma nodded and left the Hokage's office.
Naruto and Shikamaru also left.
"Elder Utatane, the preparations for the transplant are now in your hands!"
Jiraiya ordered Utatane Koharu, who controls the Root.
"Okay!"
Utatane Koharu nodded excitedly.
As long as Asuma can transplant the Samsara Eye and obtain the Sage's Eye, the Hokage system will be able to rise again.
Rebuilding the glory of Konoha is our duty!
At this moment, she thought of this in her heart, but when she thought about who said it first, her face was not very good again.
Humph, it's really haunting!
Utatane Koharu wished that Dohei would die immediately, and she regretted countless times that she had strangled him before he grew up.
It's a pity that now she can only think about it.
Not to mention her, the advisory elder, even the entire Konoha can't do anything to him, and only by relying on the entire ninja coalition can they barely compete with him.
"By the way, the invitation to the Five Kage Conference, when are you going to leave?"
Mito Kado En asked another thing.
The Five Kage Conference!
However, it was not convened by Jiraiya, but by the Fourth Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village.
The location was in the neutral country of Iron Country.
The reason was to deal with Akatsuki, the organization that hunts tailed beasts.
"Let's wait until this matter is resolved!"
Jiraiya made a decision.
It is indeed time to eradicate Akatsuki, the cancer of the ninja world.
Now that the leader Pain is gone, the opponent's strength has been greatly reduced, and they have been expelled from the Rain Country. It is indeed the best time.
"That's good, we can also take the opportunity to let the five major ninja villages join forces to restrict the Fiery Sun Country and not let them continue to develop!"
Mitomon En made a suggestion.
Because the Fiery Sun Country is developing too fast, if time drags on, they will be in danger.
It is better to restrict and suppress the other party while there is still strength left.
"I know!"
Jiraiya nodded lightly, he thought so too.
After the discussion, the two consultants Nagato left the Hokage's office to handle affairs.
"The Fiery Sun Country...?"
Jiraiya turned his head and looked to the south, which is the direction of the castle tower.
