Global Card Master Era

Chapter 117: If you can’t beat me, then join (45, daily reading)

The land of fire, Konoha.

Hokage building, conference room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen summoned the jounin in the village and held an impromptu meeting.

The three Hokage Sasuke, Mito Kaden, Koharu Koharu and Danzo Shimura were sitting near Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the clan leaders and jounin of each clan were basically present.

The remaining Jonin who were not present were either out on official duties or had special missions and could not leave their posts without authorization.

Apart from……

Everyone couldn't help but look at the seats on the Uchiha side.

That Uchiha Maki was not present.

Some ninjas were already muttering in their hearts.

Taking advantage of the time when Uchiha Maki was on a mission to the Country of Whirlpool, he held a meeting of all ninjas. What was he trying to do?

Who doesn't know that the most powerful ninja clan now includes Uchiha?

During the meeting, Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed.

"Everyone, this urgent meeting is mainly to discuss a solution to the impact of the thicker fog in the ninja world on the battlefield environment in recent years."

(Actually, it’s not urgent. It was held at a time when certain people were not available.)

"Now that the fog concentration is rising, apart from the Hyuga clan and some sentient ninjas, the overall combat capabilities of the remaining genin have declined significantly."

(We can no longer strengthen the Hyuga clan’s voice in Konoha, the status of the Ninja clan is about to get out of control)

"The popularity of firearms has affected the combat effectiveness of conventional ninjas, especially when their vision is limited. When our ninjas discover firearms troops, they have already entered the opponent's fire coverage."

(The firearms unit is too strong, and the grassroots ninjas are too weak. We need to find a way to limit the strength of the firearms unit, or improve our ability to deal with the firearms unit)

"This situation will continue to increase as time goes by, and this situation will greatly shake our strategy of attacking neighboring countries."

(Whether it is a strategy to attack the firearms forces of neighboring countries, or to prevent the firearms forces under the Fire Nation daimyo from seizing Konoha's military status, you can guess for yourself, I won't admit it anyway)

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say much, he just asked someone to give everyone a scroll.

It records the changes in the battle damage situation of a regular special jonin + 3 genin team since the fog began to appear in the ninja world, as investigated by ANBU.

And after the appearance of the firearms unit, the ordinary ninja team suffered battle losses against the 7-man firearms team.

Before counting, all major ninja clans had expected heavy casualties.

But when this data appeared, such an intuitive comparison made the heads of the ninja clan frown.

This data is somewhat shocking!

"This data..."

“It’s almost impossible to fight this small-scale conflict!”

"Hell, I can't risk my family's lives. We only have three or two big cats and kittens..."

"No, what does the Tsuchikage want to do? He secretly went to the Daimyo to buy a batch of firearms?"

"If you can't beat him, then join. It's normal. After all, he is Ohnoki."

"We're not going to fight again, are we?"

"Maybe it's not even a fight with enemy ninjas, but a direct fight with a group of ordinary villagers armed with guns."

"You call those gun barrels a weapon fight?"

"The shuriken is a ninja tool, and the gun barrel is also a ninja tool. It's just a little bit more powerful..."

As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, there was a noise below.

Some jounin complained that wars are now difficult to fight. Without sight range initiative, genin are not much more difficult to kill in front of guns.

Others are thinking about whether they can find a way to escape the fog. After all, the fact that the situation has reached this point is related to the fog that cannot be dissipated in the ninja world.

The food output of the entire ninja world has dropped by 30%, and the demand for fertile land has increased significantly.

This is also the reason why the three major countries have invested so many ninja troops in the Kingdom of Rain.

No money can support a ninja.

Now there is no way to ensure the normal growth of many ninjas simply by completing tasks.

The purchasing power of money has declined, famine has broken out in some areas, and the number of villagers from various places who choose to turn into bandits is increasing.

But more jonin remained silent.

They had already smelled the news in advance.

"Ohnoki is so heartbroken, this old guy wears the same pants as the Daimyo of Earth Country. The conflict between Iwagakure and Kumogakure last year, including the battle in Rain Country, Iwagakure lost Too much immediate combat power.”

"Why did you suddenly turn further towards the daimyo this time? I'm afraid that you also have the idea of ​​taking advantage of this opportunity to reorganize the fighting strength of the middle and lower-level ninjas."

"In other words, the comprehensive quality of ninjas is far different from that of civilians. They are also firearms, and the destructive power they can have in our hands will only be greater."

The Hokage advisor Mito Kadoen said this, and even Danzo nodded.

Although the three Hokage advisors have not been on the battlefield for a long time, they also know the power of firearms.

It is impossible to completely ignore Bullet Storm.

Don't you see, a few years ago, the third generation Raikage Ai, in order to give his subordinates a chance to evacuate, stared at the attack of the "war weapon" of the hunting organization alone, and finally exhausted his chakra and was blown into two pieces.

The contemporary Five Kages are undoubtedly the top experts in the ninja world.

However, even if they both belong to the Shadow Sequence, their strengths are still different.

There was no guarantee that the Sandaime would be stronger than the Third Raikage when he was at his peak, let alone that the Third Raikage had become more and more powerful in recent years.

Among contemporary ninjas, in the eyes of many ninja clans, the only ones who can be considered unique are Hanzo of the Hidden Ame Village and the Third Raikage.

Oh no, now we have to add Uesugi Fumun-kun from the Hunting Organization.

As for Uchiha Mu?

In recent years, the Uchiha clan has become more and more active, but as the clan leader, Uchiha Maki has disappeared more and more.

How much real fighting power is there, how can you know without a fight?

But even a powerful ninja like the Third Raikage was still crushed to death by the heavy firepower of the war weapons manufactured by the Kari Organization.

He is already like this, let alone a ninja

Thinking about this, some jounin below also suddenly realized.

Others don't know that the Kari Organization and the Uzumaki Country have been unhappy with Konoha over the years, but there are still vague rumors within them.

When the Kingdom of Whirlpool was attacked by three major ninja villages, Konoha, as an ally, failed to send troops to rescue them immediately.

What's even more ridiculous is that the ninjas of all races who sent troops at that time were essentially sending troops voluntarily.

It can be said that the third generation just gave him a name.

Not to mention that in the past few years, the reinforcements that really supported the Kingdom of Whirlpool actually came from the Hunting Organization.

If not, the Kingdom of Whirlpool would not have given the Hunting Organization such great rights.

Now the hunting organization can be said to be a master of all things within the Kingdom of Whirlpool, and even the people of the Kingdom of Whirlpool are happy with it.

However, there are not many ninja villages that the outside world can confirm this news. The memory has always stayed in Konoha and the country of whirlpool, and they still maintain the identity of the common alliance.

But in fact, after Uzumaki Mito died, Konoha and the Uzumaki side were basically completely disconnected.

"Sandaime-sama, since you have made this proposal, what are your thoughts?"
