LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 25
Chapter 25 Ownership Of Command
Konoha meeting room.
Contrary to the two families of Uchiha and Hyuga, after Hiashi expressed his position, no one spoke again.
Everyone was silent, like a flock of quails.
Although they agreed to the war, it still depends on the situation how much effort is needed.
In case Uchiha and Hyuga are only superficial, but actually refuse to work hard, wouldn’t they be cheated to death if they try their best?
Although they are both Konoha Shinobi, they couldn’t completely trust him for a while.
After all, the heart of defense is indispensable!
According to their thinking, the main force in this war must be Uchiha and Hyuga, and their own family members will only be responsible for supporting them.
He said he was a companion, but he would still be clear when distinguishing responsibilities.
What caused Uchiha and Hyuga to cause others to charge forward?
Being able to lay down the support is already doing my best!
The ninjas of these small families have no chance to be Hokage. Elite Jōnin is already the limit. Of course, it is impossible to gamble too many people’s lives on things like war.
The credit for winning the battle belongs to others, and it will not be blamed for losing.
It is impossible to work hard!
In this case, of course, it’s okay to mess around casually.
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced triumphantly at Uchiha Yusuke.
Although you are good at making troubles, but you want to get the support of everyone in Konoha, Uchiha is almost meaningless!
However, the war is imminent, and Third Hokage naturally cannot blatantly drag Uchiha Yusuke’s hind legs.
He can help gather together combatants, but it is basically impossible to have a superior force.
Uchiha dispatched two-thirds of the elite this time, and Sarutobi Hiruzen hoped that they would fight Cloud Shinobi on the battlefield and lose both sides.
In this way, internal and external troubles can be eliminated at the same time, which is simply killing two birds with one stone!
Uchiha Yusuke is aware of Third Hokage’s careful thinking.
Playing against Cloud Shinobi does have its risks, but if done right, it can be an opportunity to establish Uchiha’s prestige.
Sarutobi Hiruzen has his own calculations, and Uchiha Yusuke also has his own ideas.
Although this game has great risks, the opportunities are also not small.
How can you get a tiger cub if you don’t enter the tiger’s den?
Uchiha wants to be rich and safe this time!
Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up with a light cough.
“Uchiha and Hyuga understand righteousness.”
“Don’t hide it, everyone, this is a war to protect the village!”
When Third Hokage stepped forward, everyone couldn’t keep silent anymore.
After all, war is not a matter of one or two families.
It is simply not realistic for the Uchiha and Hyuga families to face Cloud Shinobi alone.
Nara Shijiu stood up first.
“My Nara clan can send out 10 Jōnin and 100 Chūnin.”
Yamanaka Haiichi and Akamichi Choza followed closely behind.
“So do we!”
Ino–Shika–Chō can also be regarded as a famous family of Konoha, and the ninjas sent by the three clans together are close to Hyuga, which is quite interesting.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in satisfaction.
“The three of you are determined. Let Lu Jiu take up the position of military adviser in this war!”
The IQ of the Nara clan is well known in Konoha.
Even Uchiha Yusuke couldn’t find fault with Third Hokage’s arrangement.
The battlefield strategist is also an important position with decision-making power. Sarutobi Hiruzen arranged it in advance because he was worried that Uchiha would take the opportunity to intervene in the power center.
According to Sarutobi Hiruzen’s idea, although Uchiha sent a lot of people, the core power will never be given to them.
Give Uchiha Yusuke the title of deputy commander at most.
Sarutobi Hiruzen once again looked at the other family heads.
“The three families of Ino–Shika–Chō have sent out half of the fighting force of the family, each of you, please use one-third of the people!”
The war is a good opportunity, not only to weaken Uchiha and Hyuga, but also to suppress other families.
The Sarutobi family has been thriving in recent years. When Hyuga and Uchiha are leveled, Sarutobi is truly the No. 1 family in Konoha!
“this……”
The patriarchs of the small Konoha family all showed embarrassment, hesitated to speak.
The strength of these families is generally weak, and they are completely incomparable with giants like Hyuga and Uchiha.
There are thousands of ninjas in other families, but they are less than a hundred.
It would be a huge loss if any of them died!
However, Third Hokage has already said his words to death, and there is no room for them to refute.
The least one from other houses also pays half, so it’s not too much for you to pay one-third, right?
Under the gaze of Third Hokage, the patriarchs of the small family could only smash their teeth and swallow in their stomachs, nodding in agreement.
Various families expressed their opinions one after another, and Sarutobi Hiruzen made the final decision.
Konoha finally gathered three thousand ninjas, and set off to the front line to fight Cloud Shinobi on another day.
When the dust settled, the civilian ninja representatives showed a look of joy in their eyes.
Facing Cloud Shinobi this time, Konoha’s major families sent more than 2,000 ninjas.
And there are only less than a thousand of their civilian ninjas, which is naturally something to be happy about.
You know, in previous wars, it was basically civilian ninjas who invested the most and sacrificed the most.
This time, the ninjas who were born as civilians finally felt relaxed.
“well!”
The patriarchs looked at Uchiha Yusuke and Hyuga Hiashi with some complaints.
Third Hokage is highly respected, and Danzo did not come out to take the blame.
Uchiha Yusuke and Hyuga Hiashi naturally bear the brunt.
The Uchiha and Hyuga families have great achievements, and they have more than half of their combat power and there are hundreds of ninjas.
We have been tricked by you!
One-third of the ninja, this is really going to die!
Combat members have been finalized, and the next step is the most critical issue of command authority.
Third Hokage stood up with a smile on his face.
“Hiashi, this happened because of you Hyuga.”
“The position of commander-in-chief on the battlefield is up to you!”
Hyuga Hiashi stood up and bowed respectfully to Sarutobi Hiruzen in apology.
“Thank you Hokage-sama for your trust, but I’m afraid I’m not competent for the position of commander-in-chief on the battlefield!”
When the two advisors heard this, they stood up with gloomy faces.
“Hiashi, what are you talking about?”
“The commander-in-chief of the battlefield, who else can be competent besides you?”
“Aren’t you willing to contribute to Konoha?”
The appointment of Hyuga Hiashi as the commander-in-chief has been finalized by Konoha’s senior management in advance, so naturally no one can doubt it.
Facing the accusations from the two advisors, Hyuga Hiashi was neither humble nor overbearing.
“Master Advisor, I think the Yusuke patriarch is more suitable than me.”
“Yusuke has the title of ‘flame ghost’, and he has defeated Uchiha Fugaku before, and his strength is far superior to mine!”
Throw me a peach and give me a plum.
Uchiha Yusuke has been kind to Hyuga, and Hyuga Hiashi just took this opportunity to repay.
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again without losing his smile.
“Yusuke’s strength is indeed not weak, but after all, he is too young.”
“Hiashi, we all know your strength, why are you so humble?”
“You are older, and you are more prudent in handling things. Don’t refuse this command position!”
