Chapter 43: On the verge of breaking out (Second update, please follow up!)

As soon as this statement came out, everyone here became more stressed.

Because the so-called standing ninja does not include some members of each family, in the environment of Konoha's continuous battles,

In order to preserve their vitality, each family in Konoha prevents the ninjas of their own family from suffering too many casualties.

This will allow some current ninjas to "reasonably retire" so that they are not dominated by Konoha's establishment, but they are all ninjas in their prime.

Generally speaking, it can almost be regarded as the private army of each family.

When the major families in Konoha are in power, this is almost an unspoken rule on the surface, and even the previous three generations did it the most ruthlessly.

Although it cannot be exaggerated to the 3,000 Sarutobi ninjas rumored in later memes, there are also about 400 private troops.

And now Sarutobi Hiruzen has changed his soul and has no feelings for the Sarutobi clan at all. Naturally, he doesn't feel sorry for him and can use the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan at will.

Therefore, the number of 300 is already the number of most ninjas in the Sarutobi clan. Sarutobi Hiruzen's statement made the clan leaders a little embarrassed.

"We have 200 members of the Uchiha clan!"

Uchiha Fugaku gritted his teeth and spoke first,

Now that Sarutobi Hiruzen has allowed the clan leader to participate in the Hokage's government affairs, and promised to free the Uchiha clan from the guard, Uchiha has benefited the most, and Uchiha Fugaku also feels that he cannot go without repayment.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded approvingly upon seeing this,

As expected of him, he managed to win over Fugaku Uchiha, and it was indeed rewarded.

Now Uchiha was also bleeding profusely, and the pressure suddenly came to the other wealthy clans.

"The Hyuga clan has 100 members..."

Hinata and Hizu's sincerity is not weak either, and it is equivalent to giving up most of their combat power.

"Eighty tribesmen came out of Pig Deer Butterfly..."

Nara Shikaku, as a member of the Hokage clan with a well-established background, would naturally not fail to contribute, but Ino Shikaku was a small clan, and their combined number was not as large as that of the big clans like Hinata and Uchiha.

Being able to gather 80 ninjas is already an exhaustive effort.

As for Mito Monobu and Koharu Koharu, they are not from the ninja clan, so naturally they can't help.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the clan leaders expressing their opinions, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Let's draw the remaining ninjas from the Shimura clan to form an army of 2,000 ninjas..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen decided directly that Danzo was dead, but the remaining energy of the Shimura clan still had to be put to good use.

This made the elders present feel their teeth aching when they heard this.

If we gather 2,000 people, we can't drain the Shimura clan dry.

They all looked at each other, silently understanding each other, but there was a lot of fear in their eyes.

Obviously, you need to be more careful when getting along with the Third Hokage in the future. It is obvious that Sarutobi Hiruzen is too small-minded after his change of temper.

"I will personally lead the army and fight against the cloud ninja..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said,

"Uchiha Fugaku is the deputy commander, and Nara Shikaku is the staff officer."

"Leave within three days!"

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen has recovered to his peak and is not afraid of fighting the Kumo ninja, he also knows that Konoha is still in a weak period after the war and does not have the foundation to fight a protracted war.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally wanted a quick victory.

After asking the elders procedurally if they had any objections, Hiruzen Sarutobi ended the meeting.

Only Nara Shikaku stayed,

"Third generation sir..."

“Although the number of people is gathered”

"But after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, many facilities in the village need to be rebuilt, and the ninja's pension is also a huge expense..."

Nara Shikaku didn't insult Sarutobi Hiruzen in person, but the problem still had to be solved.

All wars cost is money.

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally knew that Konoha's current financial situation was not good.

"Nothing.."

"The property of the Shimura clan is already being liquidated, and when the time comes, all of it will be invested in this war..."

"Uchiha Fugaku also expressed his willingness to fund this war."

At the scene where Danzo was beheaded and the property of the Shimura clan was confiscated in person, Sarutobi Hiruzen secretly cried out to Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Fugaku was also very sensitive and immediately expressed his willingness to share the worries.

"If it's not enough, the Sarutobi clan can also pay for it..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen means that the Sarutobi clan is the Sarutobi clan, and he is the third Hokage.

"Enough is enough!"

Nara Shikaku interrupted with a bitter smile, lest Sarutobi Hiruzen really donate all the Sarutobi clan.

"With the support of the Shimura clan and the Uchiha clan, a war is more than enough..."

Not to mention the Shimura clan, the Uchiha clan is indeed an ancient and powerful clan since the Warring States Period, and they have never been short of money.

From Sarutobi Hiruzen's point of view, the subsequent massacre of Uchiha was probably due to the inability of Konoha's finances to turn over after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and the reason why Konoha's top brass wanted to kill landlords to celebrate the New Year.

After all, after the demise of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Sasuke did not inherit much inheritance.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, and also heard the subtext of Nara Shikaku,

It is more than enough to fight a large-scale war, but if the war cycle is prolonged, it will be a bottomless pit of money.

However, Sarutobi did not panic during the war. He still had backup plans.

That is the time travel system, which allows you to obtain money and food in other worlds. However, it is not cost-effective to consume time and space energy in this way, so you should try your best to avoid it.

"Don't worry.. Shikaku"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were deep and his tone was determined,

"If nothing unexpected happens,"

"This war will be over soon"

Nara Shikaku was stunned when he heard this. Looking at the sparkle in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, he felt that he couldn't see through the longest-serving Third Hokage in front of him.

"Is that old guy Danzo dead?"

"Or was it the third Hokage who killed him himself?"

The Fourth Raikage heard the news and was a little in disbelief.

He knew, however, that Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen, known as the branches, leaves and roots of Konoha, depended on each other.

The relationship has always been quite good, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we are wearing a pair of trousers.

"How can these three generations make such a decision when they are approaching old age?!"

The Fourth Raikage had just taken office not long ago, and he had always looked down upon the Third Hokage, who was known as a tough guy but was also kind and lenient in his dealings.

As the winner of three battles, he actually refused to accept the conditions for the spoils of war and accepted an unconditional end to the war.

It is precisely because of this that the Fourth Raikage wanted to take advantage of the fall of the Fourth Generation after the Konoha Nine-Tails went berserk to beat the autumn wind of Konoha.

"Then Raikage-sama"

"Our ninjas at the border..."

The subordinates on the side asked tentatively whether the third generation was no longer a soft persimmon because he showed a murderous side.

"Continue to harass the Fire Nation border"

The Fourth Raikage waved his hand and took radical measures without hesitation.

The reason why he chose Konoha was not only because of the weakness of the Third Generation, but also because Konoha was indeed at its weakest period in history.

The fourth generation fell, the three ninjas left one after another, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki had just been replaced.

The only top strong person was the old and frail Third Generation, which undoubtedly made the Fourth Raikage of the main war faction smell the benefits.

On the other hand, even though the third generation Raikage died, it was only to cover the retreat of the large forces, and basically the number of Kumo ninja's ninja army did not decrease.

And the top experts are all in their prime, whether they are the Fourth Raikage or the Jinchuuriki.

"Wait till I gather some ninja troops at the border."

The Fourth Raikage smiled contemptuously. He had just taken office and needed credit to maintain his prestige. He would definitely have a piece of cake from the strongest ninja village in the ninja world.

"Konoha will destroy itself and come to us to sign a peace treaty."
