Chapter 32: War Erupts
Konoha 44 Years.
It's been 6 months since the end of the Chunin Exam.
Today, the atmosphere of the village was a bit dull as Ninja would flash from time to time everywhere, even the streets were deserted, looking like an emergency situation.
Hokage Office.
"Teacher, you are looking for me"
Orochimaru walked into the Hokage office and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was looking at the village in front through the window, with his back facing him, and asked.
Sarutobi Hiruzen silently smoked with his back to Orochimaru, without answering, he just quietly looked through the window and looked at the clouds in the sky outside.
In this way, the atmosphere in the room gradually turned into tranquility except for the sound of Sarutobi smoking.
"Orochimaru, Third Kazekage disappeared, Cloud Village took advantage of the fire and attacked the Stone, and also declared war on the Sand Village and Konoha"
"Stone Village and Sand village also declared war on Konoha"
"I'm calling you over this time, because I'm going to let you go to the Land of Thunder to take control of the situation"
"Danzo is in charge of Kirigakure and I am going to let Jiraya and Minato to go and fight against Stone Village. The Land of Thunder will be handed over to you."
Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around, looked at Orochimaru and said heavily. The blood in his eyes can tell how much pressure under he is.
"Is the situation so bad, then leave the Land of Thunder to me"
In the face of the harsh situation that Sarutobi was narrating, Orochimaru decisively assumed the responsibility of guarding the village and he could also get experimental materials on the battlefield.
"How much Jonin will the village allocate me"
Immediately Orochimaru asked as he was most concerned about the distribution of combat power.
Although Konoha had the most Jonin among the great five nations, it was still difficult to face four villages at the same time, So, the distribution of the village's combat power is a big problem.
Stone Village can be dealt by Jiraya and Minato. Kirigakure has not officially started the war, So, Danzo himself can still hold on to it temporarily. Tsunade and White Fang are enough for Sand village. However, Cloud Village's combat power is so strong that it is not much worse than Konoha.
The Third Raikage, his son, the eight tails jinchuriki and the two tails jinchuriki are all well-known strong men in the Ninja world.
If he only relies on himself, even Orochimaru himself is not confident, to face these four and the rest of elites without enough support.
"The combat power in the village is quite tense right now. I can only give you 10 Jonin, but I can assign the Uchiha clan to you. But if something bad happens on the battlefield, I or Minato will also appear."
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't wanted to allocate too much combat power to Orochimaru.
What should he do if he wins. His original plan is to let Minato help in the war later so to create enough momentum for Minato.
"What! Only Ten Jonin"
Even with the calm personality of Orochimaru he felt a little angry. There are only 10 Jonin.
Isn't this just sending them to death? The Uchiha clan is even more famous as a time bomb. It might not hurt Cloud Village that much then it might himself.
And if it was Minato or 3rd Hokage to help them in the later stage, then even if they won the victory, I am afraid that everyone will only think that it is the credit of the third hokage and Minato.
At this moment, Orochimaru suddenly had some doubts, whether Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted him to be the Hokage or Not.
"No way, Orochimaru the combat power in the village is indeed too scarce now, and we have to prevent other Ninja villages from attacking Konoha. I can only allocate 10 Jonin to you but you will have Uchiha clan for your help"
"Uchiha clan what's the use of those arrogant people who don't even listen to anyone"
On hearing Sarutobi's words, Orochimaru couldn't help but say it.
We must know that Cloud village has 4 Kage rank powerhouses and countless other elite Ninja, with his meager 10 Jonin and the Uchiha clan how could he stop them.
"Enough! Orochimaru, you are already a mature ninja! Learn to figure out how to solve problems by yourself. There are more than a hundred Jonin ninjas in the Uchiha clan, and hundreds of Chunin, just solve the war with them"
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that if this went on, Orochimaru would definitely not agree, so today's conversation will not have any results. So he could only use a serious tone to force Orochimaru to accept the task.
