Bu Zhan’s envoy

Hatake Sakumo and Uzumaki Ashina entered the Uchiha clan overnight and did not avoid people at all, and the people they met were self-evident.

Therefore, all interested people who care about the current affairs in Konoha have obtained the information about the meeting between the three people.

The Kirigakure Mission, the Country of Uzumaki, the Uzumaki Clan, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo.

After arranging and combining the above vocabulary, the information will already have the fundamentals for the next step of research and judgment.

Kirigakure was interested in the country of Uzumaki and sent a mission to discuss it. The Uzumaki clan and Hatake Sakumo, who were dissatisfied with this, approached Uchiha Tokimitsu and the Uchiha clan behind him to join forces to reject Kirigakure's request.

Based on intelligence and actual conditions, although the middle and high-level leaders of Konoha and the leaders of the various ninja clans who are paying attention to this matter have no way of knowing the specific content of the talk, combined with the recent developments in Konoha, it is easy to connect them together and come up with a conclusion that is quite different from the truth.

judge.

Culture and cognitive level determine the character, behavior and judgment of people and collectives, and the choices they make when faced with choices are different.

From the perspective of the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is accustomed to power, strategy, and interest exchange, as long as the starting point is for Konoha, then there is nothing that cannot be traded. The reason why he started talks with the Kirigakure mission and responded vaguely to Kirigakure's

The territorial claims of the Country of Whirlpool are also based on the interests of Konoha, and are just a delaying tactic when facing the ready-to-move Sunagakure and Kumogakure.

On several battlefields in the Second Ninja World War, although Konoha defeated Iwagakure and Sunagakure one after another, suppressed the Rain ninja, and achieved a lot of achievements, except for the Rain ninja, Iwagakure and Sunagakure

They are not very convinced, and they have the intention of preparing their troops for another fight.

But Konoha's standing ninja military strength is not unlimited.

Nowadays, the Kumogakure barbarians of the Kingdom of Thunder are making many small moves on the border. The Hokage's son, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, and the elite of the Sarutobi clan are rushing to the northern front. At this time, even if the village still has some remaining strength, it must remain as a reserve force to support the northern region.

Dealing with Cloud Hidden.

Therefore, there cannot be chaos in the east.

Therefore, Kirigakure needs to be stable.

Therefore, the request of the Kirigakure mission cannot be rejected outright, at least not within a short period of time.

Konoha must try its best to avoid being besieged by the four major ninja villages, and must stabilize Kirigakure to prevent them from raising troops to invade.

In order to avoid Kirigakure's "misjudgment", even the eastern border defense force, which was already famous for being "weak", has not been replenished and strengthened since the fall of the Uzumaki Kingdom.

As for Konoha's standing ninja force that has not yet been mobilized, he plans to retain Sarutobi Shinnosuke who supports the northern border so that he can achieve military exploits.

But he habitually ignores the demands of stakeholders and their possible reactions.

In the past, when such a situation was encountered, Danzo would usually step in to solve it, either Danzo would come to him and "show affection", or a root ninja would come to him and "reason", so the appeasement policy followed smoothly.

Generally unimpeded.

However, now that Danzo has died under the sword of Uchiha Tokumitsu, the Uzumaki clan, as a wealthy ninja clan with thousands of years, has always been relatively gentle, but it is definitely not easy to deal with, so they took the initiative to visit and request a joint response.

scene.

As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally also got the information that Uzumaki Ashina and Hatake Sakumo visited Uchiha Tokimitsu overnight.

I just didn't expect the reaction of the three people to be so big.

Early the next morning, under the order of Uchiha Tokimitsu, the Police Headquarters dispatched a special operations team, a rapid response team and other ninja troops to surround the outside of the hot spring building where the Kirigakure delegation was staying in the name of a security exercise.

The Eastern District Police Office also dispatched an inspection team, an assault team and other police teams under the leadership of Deputy Director Uzumaki Yasuji to participate in the operation.

Although they did not break into the ANBU control area, they had cut off Kirigakure's path in and out of the building.

The attitudes of the Uchiha clan and the Uzumaki clan are self-evident.

Hatake Sakumo also walked into the Hokage Building alone to meet with the Third Generation and elaborated on the current demands of the Uzumaki clan.

"Sakumo-kun...if the war with Kirigakure breaks out, the village will not lose as much as the semi-abandoned Uzumaki Country. By then, the village's ninjas will not know how many people will be killed or injured..."

The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen felt mentally and physically exhausted again.

He didn't expect that it was Hatake Sakumo who came to negotiate with him about the matter.

Although he was particularly dissatisfied with Hatake Sakumo's choice to move closer to the Uchiha clan, the Sandaime still believed that Hatake Sakumo, as a firm believer in the Will of Fire, would not take the initiative to do anything contrary to the interests of the village.

As for Hatake Sakumo's attitude, he has more of a mentality of "treating the sick and saving lives by avoiding past mistakes and avoiding future ones", hoping that Hatake Sakumo can change his mind. After all, he is still one of the indispensable high-end combat forces in the village, and he is the most important one in times of war.

The best tool to use.

"Although the Land of Fire is large, it doesn't have an extra inch of land; even though the Land of Uzumaki has perished, its homeland cannot be abandoned." Hatake Sakumo did not respond to the Sandaime's words, but reiterated his point of view again.

This is also the communication method Hatake Sakumo learned from Uchiha Tokimitsu.

As the saying goes, you say yours and I say mine. No matter how elaborately you explain your reasons, I will always reaffirm my own point of view.

And this is also what the Uzumaki clan wants.

I don't expect Konoha to help restore the country, I just hope that the country of Uzumaki will not be ceded privately.

"Once Kirigakure attacks, the eastern border defense forces will be unable to resist. On the premise of maintaining the minimum operation of the mission system, the village will not be able to spare more manpower..."

The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen was also particularly helpless.

He could understand that the ninjas in the village had emotions about the appeasement policy, but his behavior was also based on comprehensive considerations of Konoha's actual situation and personal selfishness, and it was helpless to respond vaguely to Kirigakure's request.

Besides, if he really planned to reach an agreement with Kirigakure to divide the country of Uzumaki, he would not let the traces and purpose of the Kirigakure mission leak out.

"Lord Hokage, I agree with the views of the Uzumaki Clan Leader Mr. Ashina and the Assistant Chief of the Police Department Uchiha Tokimitsu Jounin." Hatake Sakumo said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "No matter what the situation is, the Fire Country and its allies are under the jurisdiction of

We cannot give in any situation lightly, and I hope that Hokage-sama will understand and support you."

"Support... Psychologically, I do support..." Hiruzen Sarutobi lit his pipe helplessly and took a puff to suppress the irritability in his heart, "Sakumo-kun, don't Tokumitsu Jonin always preach that everything must be based on strength?

, but the current reality is that the village is simply unable to cope with the challenges of the four major ninja villages at the same time, so this strategy was taken to stabilize Kirigakure..."

"The Kingdom of Uzumaki is a staunch ally of Konoha, and the Uzumaki clan is the wife clan of Lord Hashirama. It is a shame for our generation to fail to defend the Kingdom of Uzumaki. It would be even more shameful to allow Kirogakure to occupy the old land of Uzumaki."

!" Hatake Sakumo's attitude still did not soften, "Now there is the Uzumaki family's logo on the uniforms of Konoha jounin. I and other descendants can no longer embarrass our ancestors!"

"It's just a tactic to delay Kirigakure's attack..."

The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen explained again, but seeing that Hatake Sakumo still looked determined, he did not continue.

He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and took a long puff of his pipe.

The Hokage's office fell into deathly silence again.

"...If I hand over the eastern region and the entire border force to you, can you stop Kirigakure?"

After a while, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly spoke.

"This is not possible at the moment. We must strengthen the strength of the ninja army."

Hatake Sakumo said without hesitation.

"In terms of materials, I can meet your needs no matter what, as long as it's not too much..." Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen was smoking his pipe while calculating the strength comparison with Kirigakure, "How many additional ninja troops do you want?"

"The more, the merrier." Hatake Sakumo also said concisely and comprehensively.

"The more the merrier..." Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but smile bitterly upon hearing this, "Sakumo-kun, as the captain of the Jonin class, you should know the current situation of the village. There are still so many ninja troops for you!"

"Ninja clan!"

Hatake Sakumo said.

At the end, he added: "The family ninja of the ninja clan."

"Ninja clan..."

The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen has mixed feelings in his heart.

The ninja clan of Konoha does still have strength, and it is enough to support a war with a ninja village.

But the ninja clan are all greedy. If they want to hand over the family ninja and accept the deployment of the village to fight, the price they have to pay is really painful.

Before the war, for the purpose of limiting the power of the ninja clan, he, Danzo, Koharu, and Mito Kadeni had convened a ninja clan meeting, and after paying a huge price, they mobilized a large number of family ninjas to serve as

Fight for the village.

However, the power of the ninja clan did not weaken much, but instead allowed the freak Uchiha Tokimitsu to rise up.

Nowadays, Uchiha Tokumitsu is as powerful as Rainbow Tails, and he even set up an ambush to kill Danzo in one fell swoop and wipe out his roots, causing heavy losses to the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen's power. Therefore, when the ninja clan is mentioned, he reflexively intends to oppose it.

But fortunately I controlled myself.

"Sakumo-kun, if too many ninjas from the ninja clan are allowed to directly evaluate the rank of jounin, other ninjas in the village will have objections..."

After hesitating for a moment, the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen still expressed his difficulties, "And after the war, the village does not have so many financial resources to exchange with the ninja clan..."

"You can issue an IOU first, and then use the losing side's financial resources to pay compensation to the ninja clan after the war is over."

Hatake Sakumo said this.

"Which ninja is willing to accept such conditions!"

The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but get angry after hearing this.

"The Uchiha clan and the Uzumaki clan are willing!"

Hatake Sakumo replied decisively.
