Konoha: Start with omniscience and omnipotence

Chapter 147 [147]

Foreign affairs are no small matter.

One hour after the confrontation, more than [-]% of the jnin in the entire Muye village learned the ins and outs of it, and then strictly blocked the news from the subordinates.

At the same time, a large number of "representatives of Jonin", that is, clan chiefs and elite Jonin, were summoned to the Hokage Building for discussion.

In the corridor, many ninjas remained silent.

Only a small group of ninjas from the ninja family were joking, waiting to see this good show.

At the level of Jonin, the most important ability attribute is undoubtedly the value of 'virtuous'.

After the incident, everyone could see that this was a tentative act initiated by Iwagakure, and he broke through the barrier with an almost high-pressure attitude, and strongly asked Konoha to choose 'war' or 'peace'.

Just looking at that strong behavior, it seems that their Yanyin Village is the one with the absolute advantage.

And those who were used in this demonstration were Minato Namikaze and Masaki Aida, two of Konoha's new generation who were the most popular in the limelight.

Among them, Masaki Aida needless to say.

This little gentleman is not only their lucky tree, but also a beacon that guides the direction of strength. In a few years, he will definitely grow into one of the most important pillars of the ninja family and will never be abandoned.

However, the situation of Namikaze Minato is much more subtle.

Although he is in the line of Hokage, he is a disciple of Jiraiya who recently fell out with the third generation. Although he has shown a certain fighting talent now, but...
Since the establishment of the village, when has Tangtang Konoha lacked someone who can fight?
The current Namikaze Minato,
But it's not the future golden flash that instantly kills 50 people in a second.

The gulf between genius, and the strong,

The difference cannot be counted.

What's more, the current Namikaze Minato has become a little disobedient.

Relatively speaking, his value in terms of economy, politics, and war does not seem to be very obvious.

In addition, the third generation has already shown a certain tendency of appeasement, so no matter what the fate of this young man is, it is something that the ninja family is happy to see.

It's just that some people are happy and others are worried.

Hatake Sakumo stood in the corridor with an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth, looking out the window at the scenery of Konoha Village with gloomy eyes.

I don't know what I'm thinking about.

"Lord Shuomo?"

Just as I was thinking, I heard someone calling next to me.

Hatake Sakumo was taken aback when he heard the words, then turned his head, and saw Aida Masaki standing beside him, handing over a lighter, which clicked to ignite.

"Ok?"

"Oh thank you"

He was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that he moved the cigarette closer to ignite it.

"Hiss."

Take a deep breath and exhale the smoke ring.

Seeing Aida Masaki's indifferent appearance that nothing happened, Hatake Sakumo sighed helplessly and asked:
"Okada Iwaharu and the others were all killed by you?"

"No."

Aida Masaki looked calm, and lied in a warm voice: "I was sleeping at home last night, and I didn't notice any movement in the village. How could I go out to kill people?"

"Lord Shuomo must have seen it too, right?"

"Iwain was just looking for an excuse, it has nothing to do with what we did."

"Yeah. Find an excuse."

Hatake Sakumo's tone sounded a little melancholy, and his expression seemed puzzled:
"but."

"How dare they?"

Hearing this, Aida Masaki seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but chuckled, "Maybe it's because Hokage-sama's deterrence is only [-]%?"

"What deterrent?"

Hatake Sakumo gave him a puzzled look.

Aida Masaki: "I mean the self-detonation technique, it is the most terrifying only before it is activated."

"However, if others bet that the enemy's temperament is weak and dare not launch it"

The consequences, of course, needless to say.

"."

Hearing that he changed the noun, Hatake Sakumo immediately understood the meaning of Aida Masaki.

He bowed his head in silence for a few seconds, then shook helplessly.

In fact, Hatake Sakumo is also very clear.

If the third generation of adults is just a ninja, then he will be a very good ninja village hero, he has the courage of self-sacrifice.

This, no one can deny.

However, when the scope of his "self" gradually included the Sarutobi clan, the Ikabutterfly circle, the control of Anbu, and the supreme power of Ninja Village,
He didn't dare to place a bet.

As a ninja, Hiruzen Sarutobi is unparalleled in bravery and resourcefulness.

As far as Hokage is concerned, he is cowardly, mediocre, and down and out.

There is no contradiction between the two.

Therefore, in the eyes of Onogi Tsuchikage, who still has the courage to bet,

The deterrent degree of Sarutobi Hiruzen is very low.

The reason why Hatake Sakumo didn't understand it was because he thought that "one punch will avoid a hundred punches" is a truth that seems to be taken for granted both at the level of cognition and execution.

He couldn't understand why three generations of adults hesitated between this kind of "small profit" and "big profit".

This is the difference between the patterns.

There are always some talented people who forget their lives when they see small gains, and cherish their lives when they see big gains.

In other words, there are only a few who see thousands of miles clearly.

The two were silent for a few seconds at the same time, and Masaki Aida was the first to ask, "Then, what are you going to do, Master Sakumo?"

"."

"Namikaze Minato, is a very good ninja."

"He didn't deserve to die here."

When he said this, Hatake Sakumo's tone was very flat.

He didn't feel that his wanting to protect people under Hokage was such a big deal that he didn't care about life and death.

Hearing this, Aida Masaki couldn't help showing a smile.

"I will support you."

Hatake Sakumo was taken aback when he heard the words, the smoke ring in his mouth almost choked in his throat, as if he understood something, he pointed at him helplessly in mid-air, and said with a smile:

"You boy."

Soon, the Jonin representatives in the corridor were called into the meeting room.

Namikaze Minato, who was the party involved, sat on the side and listened,

His expression was slightly depressed.

Uzumaki Kushina, as the attacked Jinchuriki, was held in a secret place by the third generation of adults in the name of protection to prevent being killed again.

After a short elder meeting, Hiruzaru Sarutobi had obviously reached a consensus with several elders present, and briefly explained what happened last night before continuing:

".According to the information sent back from the border, more than [-] ninjas from the Three Kingdoms of Earth, Wind, and Thunder have appeared on the Land of Rain and the western and northern borders in just three days."

"Although the war materials are not yet ready, it has already shown a tendency to overwhelm."

"Therefore, for the sake of the justice of the large-scale mobilization of ninjas that may occur in the future, I, Konoha, must not take the initiative to bear the name of 'initiating war'!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting on the main seat, seemed to be calmly explaining the war situation around the Land of Fire.

In fact, every sentence is inseparable from the name of 'active'.

Even though Minato's name was not mentioned a single word, everyone present couldn't help looking at him, one after another.

Those gazes seemed to carry scorching heat, burning people hot.

".The current situation, that's it."

At the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice will stop, leaving a short gap.

"Everyone, please tell me how to deal with it."

"."

He raised his head, signaling for everyone to speak freely.

However, none of you present spoke.

On the long table, the subordinates of the Naruto family lowered their heads slightly, while the chiefs of the Ninja family waited quietly as if they were watching a monkey show.

The entire conference room fell into a deathly silence.

Only the slight rustling of pages turning.

Few of the people here are really stupid.

Everyone understands that this is for someone to take the initiative to express their views.

Namikaze Minato also understood.

If he does not express his position and takes the initiative to bear the bitter fruit, then the consequences of Konoha's subsequent war, which caused a large number of casualties, will be thrown on him, the 'sinner'.

All the people he relies on, admires, and is close to will be regarded as black sheep by everyone in the village, and they will inflict harm on one person in the name of thousands of people.

Whether it's Jiraiya-sensei, Kushina, Ding Zuo, Lu Jiu, Zhiwei.
And the reason,
It was he who killed the enemy who wanted to hurt Kushina.

"."

Namikaze Minato lowered his head and was silent for a long time.

He is a rather rational and intelligent young man.

Therefore, his choice must also be rational.

"Three generations of adults."

The sudden voice broke the silence in the conference room. The young man with blond hair slowly stood up, his tone so calm that he could barely hear the ups and downs of emotion:
"As a Konoha ninja, I 'accidentally killed' the envoy of Yanyin Village in the village, and all the responsibility for this lies with me."

But, before he finished speaking.

Minato's words were suddenly interrupted by a vicissitudes of life:

"Then prepare for war."

What's making noise?
In the script that has already been set, I heard an unexpected line.

Not only Namikaze Minato and Sandai, but even a large group of representatives of Hokage, Ninja and other ninjas around them all involuntarily cast their gazes in the direction of the sound.

After seeing the person who made the sound, his pupils constricted immediately, and his face was stunned.

Sakumo Hatake sat at the table, crossed his fingers, showing a little puzzled expression, and said flatly:

"Didn't you hear it?"

"Then let me say it again. Since the enemy forces of the Three Kingdoms have already deployed tens of thousands of troops on the border of our country, what else do we need to discuss?"

"Prepare for war."

Three generations, elders, ninja classes, and patriarchs of various ethnic groups.
After hearing his voice, all the people present showed almost stunned expressions.

Immediately afterwards, some people were suddenly alarmed and restless, some were ecstatic when they realized the opportunity, and some frowned and hesitated.

Everyone was confused by Hatake Sakumo's words.

This guy.
Are you finally going to compete for the position of Hokage?

Moreover, it is still at such a critical moment.

"Lord Sakumo!"

Mitomon Yan, who was sitting on the elders' table beside him, got the instruction, raised his eyelids slightly, and said in a serious tone, "Now, this is not the time to care about the importance of one or two people!"

"Konoha isn't ready yet."

"If you are good at starting a war, there will be tens of thousands of people who will die on the battlefield."

"One Life,"

"How does it compare with the lives of thousands of people?"

Hatake Sakumo turned his head and asked: "Then if I sacrifice this person's life, can the suffering of the rest be spared?"

"How can this be compared!"

Mitomon's face was tense.

"How can it not be compared?"

Hatake Sakumo looked at him and raised his voice a little: "Because you protect the village and kill the enemy, so you have to become the price and sacrifice before the battle?"

"The Kingdom of Fire has never had such a reason!"

"Where the leaves are flying, the fire is endless."

"If we are so incompetent that we want a young man with a bright future to sacrifice his life meaninglessly to stop the pace of war."

"Then what do you need the village for?"

"Ninja, you can die on the battlefield! You can die in missions!"

"But you shouldn't die at your own hands."

Hatake Sakumo stood up, and many ninjas seemed to have noticed for the first time that this Konoha Shirato who always half-closed his eyes and sat at the table with a lazy expression, and often kept silent throughout the meeting, Such a sharp light can bloom from his body.

In the past, only his enemies could see this kind of sharpness. Many people felt the sharpness of this 'tooth' for the first time.

Hatake Sakumo's knife-like gaze swept over everyone present, and he stopped every word:
"If you say that those who violate the order of the ninja are trash."

"Then, those who don't cherish their companions are even worse than trash."

"."

"My words are over."

From the beginning to the end, except for the sharp light revealed in those eyes, the voice of this calm middle-aged man hardly fluctuated at all.

It was so flat as if he was just talking about what to eat tonight.

However, after saying this, he still stood where he was.

Like a knife nailed to the ground.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi seemed to have reacquainted with this man who had worked under him for more than ten years, looked at him calmly, and asked calmly:
"Somao."

"Do you know how many people will die after the war starts?"

Hatake Sakumo asked back: "Do you know how many rounds of vacancies were replaced during the war in the mixed assault brigade I led?"

"."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were suddenly blocked.

White Fang Assault Brigade.

It was one of the most famous war vanguards in Konoha, and was responsible for piercing through the hardest, thickest, and most difficult positions on the battlefield.

As with its terrifying reputation, its battlefield fatality rate, gap fill rate
It is also No. [-] in Konoha.

If you say that Hatake Sakumo is such a gentle person,
That Konoha Baiya is such a cruel person.

How could it be possible for someone who has experienced such a thing not to understand how cruel war is?
In this short period of silence, another person suddenly got up, and said gently:

"Since Iwagakushi's appetite is so big, then I will go with Minato-kun to apologize."

"After all, listen to those Iwagakure ninjas. When I was sleeping last night, it seemed that I also killed a lot of people with Minato?"

"Three generations of adults."

Hearing this person's plain voice, the ninjas present were startled again.

Aida Masaki stood at the end of the long conference table, still wearing that iconic gentle smile on his face.

Many people's faces froze.

Why did everyone target Namikaze Minato just now, but didn't even mention Masaki Aida?
Don't you want him to stay calm?

You know, the current Aida Masaki is quite a key figure for the ninja family!

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruza suddenly felt that the situation was not good.

as predicted.

After Aida Masaki got up, he saw several other families on the long table get up together.

"Hey, I don't know when these few disciples in Feijian will become weapons?"

"Children understand the principle of protecting their own people, but they just turn their elbows outward."

"Stupid without knowing it."

Uchiha Bolong, who was leaning on the old and selling the old, got up slowly and patted his lower back, as if he just got hemorrhoids from sitting, and he wanted to get up and move a few times.

"Forbearance in the wind."

Hinata Takuya didn't make a statement, but stood up and nodded towards Namikaze Minato: "Hinata has heard of your reputation for a long time, I hope I can get closer to you in the future."

"Whoa."

"Whoa."

"Whoa."

The sound of more and more chairs being pushed away sounded in this narrow meeting room.

People who were sitting in their seats as if it had nothing to do with them began to express their views with the simplest actions.

Some of them were holding their sleeves, some were looking at the main seat, and some were looking down at the table.

one by one.

Soon, those who stood up were no longer limited to the ninja.

Many ninjas who should have been counted as members of the Naruto family and who were born as civilians gradually began to stand up.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad.

Also born as a commoner, also without family support, some of them are not even as good as the young Namikaze Minato in terms of military merit alone, and they only rely on their age and seniority to get to the present step by step
However, at this moment, after seeing the comparison of treatment between Namikaze Minato and Aida Masaki, they all seemed to see the helpless, hopeless and helpless self in the future.

The boss who can't even protect his own people, how can there be any kind of heart?

Therefore, at this moment of statement.

The attitude of many people seems extremely firm.

Hatake Sakumo's tough stance made them, ordinary people of civilian origin, see hope for the first time.

Namikaze Minato stared blankly at this scene.

Originally, deep in my heart, I had already prepared to sacrifice for the village, and it was unstoppable to set off waves.

He gritted his teeth slightly.

Even the nose is sour unconsciously.

The current Namikaze Minato is only a 16-year-old young man.

Until the end, most of the people stood on the opposite side of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Between standing and sitting parties,

It's like separating a deep and thick invisible barrier.

look at each other.

Those cold, sharp, intertwined gazes collided and intersected like weapons, as if they could penetrate people's skins and see into their hearts.

The face of the old man sitting on the main seat was as sinking as water.

At this moment, Hiruzaru Sarutobi suddenly remembered a sentence that his teacher told him back then.

You don't have to be Hokage to be recognized by people.

Rather, only those who are recognized by people can become Hokage
Then.

When a Hokage is no longer recognized by everyone.

What will happen?
Think about this.

The old man sitting on the main seat suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
