Konoha: Start with omniscience and omnipotence

Chapter 148 [147] Statement

There is no small matter when it comes to foreign affairs.

One hour after the confrontation occurred, more than 50% of the jounin in the entire Konoha Village learned the ins and outs of the incident, and then strictly blocked the information from their subordinates.

At the same time, a large number of 'jounin representatives', that is, the clan leaders and elite jounin, were summoned to the Hokage Building to prepare for discussions.

In the corridor, many ninjas remained silent.

Only a small number of ninjas from the ninja clan looked joking, waiting to see this good show.

At the level of jounin, the most important ability attribute is undoubtedly the 'virtue' value.

After what happened, everyone could see that this was a test move initiated by Iwagakure, and he broke through the barriers with an almost high-pressure attitude, forcefully demanding that Konoha choose 'war' or 'peace'.

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

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

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

He was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and put the cigarette over to light it.

After Aida Masahui stood up, he saw a few more people at the long table getting up together.

This young gentleman is not only their money 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 clan and will never be abandoned.

He couldn't understand why the third generation of adults would hesitate between this kind of 'small profit' and 'big profit'.

Whether it's Jiraiya-sensei, Kushina, Dingza, Shikaku, Shimi.

And the reason,

Then he killed the enemy who wanted to harm Kushina.

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

"Therefore, for the sake of the justice of the possible large-scale ninja mobilization in the future, we, Konoha, must not take the initiative to bear the name of 'provoking a war'!"

"I will support you."

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

"No."

The two of them were silent for a few seconds. Aida Masaki was the first to ask: "Then, what are you going to do, Sakumo-sama?"

"How can this compare!"

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

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

Relatively speaking, its economic, political, and war value does not seem to be very obvious.

How could someone like him not understand how cruel war is?

In this brief silence, another person suddenly stood up and answered gently:

However, some people are happy and some are worried.

Mito Kadoyan, who was sitting on the elder's table nearby, received the instruction, raised his eyelids slightly, and said in a serious tone: "Now is not the time to care about the importance of one or two people!"

Everyone understands that this requires someone to take the initiative to express his position.

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

In fact, Hatake Sakumo also knew it very well.

The gap between genius and the strong,

As a ninja, Hiruzen Sarutobi was unparalleled in bravery and resourceful.

Hatake Sakumo's tough statement gave them, ordinary people from civilian backgrounds, hope for the first time.

Consistent with its terrifying reputation, its battlefield death rate and vacancy filling rate are

Also No. 1 in Konoha.

But, he didn't wait for him to finish speaking.

Those cold, sharp, intersecting gazes collided and crossed like weapons, as if they could penetrate people's faces and see into their hearts.

The sudden voice broke the silence in the conference room. The young man with blond hair slowly stood up, his tone was so calm that he could hardly hear the ups and downs of his emotions:

"As a Konoha ninja, I 'accidentally killed' the envoy of Iwagakure Village in the village. All responsibility for this lies with me."

"Sigh, I wonder when these disciples in Tobirama will be able to become masters?"

However, Namikaze Minato's situation is much more subtle.

Hinata Takuya did not express his position, but stood up and nodded towards Namikaze Minato: "Hinata has heard of your reputation for a long time, and I hope to get closer to you in the future."

"Hiss."

Like a knife nailed to the ground.

However, when the scope of his "self" gradually included the Sarutobi clan, the Ino Shika Die circle of influence, the control of ANBU, and the highest power in the Ninja Village,

He didn't dare to place a bet anymore.

"You boy."

Many people's attitudes appear extremely determined.

"This has never been the case in the Fire Nation!"

"Ninja, you can die on the battlefield! You can die on mission!"

Aida Masaki stood at the end of the long conference table, still with his trademark gentle smile on his face.

Although Namikaze Minato's name was not mentioned even one word, everyone present couldn't help but look at him, again and again.

Even my nose felt sore unconsciously.

When a Hokage is no longer recognized by everyone.

Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have reacquainted himself with the man who had worked under him for more than ten years. He looked at him calmly and asked calmly:

"Sakumo."

"Namikaze Jonin."

"Oh thank you"

"Didn't you hear that clearly?"

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly felt that the situation was not good.

"Third generation sir."

If the Third Generation was just a ninja, then he would be a very good hero of the ninja village. He would have the courage to sacrifice himself.

".This is the current situation."

as expected.

"He shouldn't die here."

"What deterrent?"

Many ninjas who were originally counted as Hokages and were civilians gradually began to stand up.

The old man sitting in the main seat had a face as sinking as water.

Uzumaki Kushina, as the jinchūriki who was attacked, was kept in a secret place by the Third Generation in the name of protection to prevent her from being killed again.

It's like a deep and thick invisible barrier separates them.

In addition, the third generation has 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.

Those gazes seemed to carry a scorching temperature, burning people to a boil.

Hearing him change the term, Hatake Sakumo immediately understood what Aida Masaki meant.

In fact, everything is not far away from the name of "active".

Uchiha Takashi, who relied on his old age, stood up slowly and patted his lower back, as if he was suffering from hemorrhoids just from sitting and wanted to get up and move a few times.

The reason why Hatake Sakumo doesn't understand is because he thinks that "hit with one punch to avoid a hundred punches" is a truth that seems to be taken for granted both at the cognitive level and the execution level.

Seeing Aida Masaki's indifferent expression as if nothing had happened, Hatake Sakumo sighed helplessly and asked:

"Okada Iwaharu and the others were all killed by you?"

Namikaze Minato looked at this scene blankly.

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

"Um?"

This guy.

Are you finally planning to compete for the position of Hokage?

"However, if others bet that the enemy is too cowardly to initiate action,"

Among them, there is no need to say much about Aida Masaki.

"."

There was only a slight rustling sound of pages turning.

Therefore, in the view of Onoki, the third Tsuchikage who still has the courage to bet,

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

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

So.

The current Minato Namikaze is still a young man of only sixteen years old.

between the two parties standing and sitting,

"."

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

Hatake Sakumo sat at the table, crossed his fingers with his hands, showed a slightly puzzled look, and said calmly:

Not only Namikaze Minato and the Third, but also a large group of Hokages and ninja representatives from the ninja clan around them, all involuntarily cast their gazes in the direction of the sound.

"Wow."

What will happen?

Thinking of this.

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

If we say what a gentle person Hatake Sakumo is,

That Konoha White Fang is such a cruel person.

What's causing the movement?

I heard unexpected lines in the already set script.

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

Of course, there is no need to say much about the consequences.

"Children all understand the need to protect their own people, but they just turn their elbows outward."

The difference cannot be measured in a few words.

Therefore, at this moment of expressing my stance.

Immediately afterwards, some people suddenly felt alarm bells ringing in their hearts and felt restless, some were overjoyed when they realized the opportunity, and still others were frowning and hesitant.

Take a deep breath and blow out the smoke ring.

The death of the rabbit makes the fox sad.

There is no contradiction between the two.

There are really not many people here who are really stupid.

From beginning to end, except for the sharp light in his eyes, the voice of this calm middle-aged man had almost no fluctuation.

Originally, I was already ready to sacrifice myself for the village, but I couldn't help but stir up waves.

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

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 be harmed in the name of thousands of people.

Hatake Sakumo turned around and asked: "Then if we sacrifice this person's life, can we save the remaining people from suffering?"

Therefore, his choice must be rational.

It was one of the most famous war vanguards in Konoha, specialized in drilling through the hardest, thickest, and most difficult-to-penetrate positions on the battlefield.

"."

"Although the war materials are not yet ready, they are already showing signs of conflict."

"Sakumo-sama?"

Hatake Sakumo looked at him and raised his voice slightly: "Because you protect the village and kill the enemy, you have to pay the price and sacrifice yourself as a sacrifice before the war?"

He is a very rational and intelligent young man.

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

"I've finished my words."

Aida Masaki: "What I mean is that the self-destruction technique is the most terrifying only before it is activated."

He raised his head and motioned for everyone to speak freely.

"How dare they?"

You know, the current Aida Masaki is a very key figure to the Ninja clan!

However, no one here spoke.

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

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

In other words, only a few can see thousands of miles.

Hatake Sakumo's dagger-like gaze swept over everyone present, speaking word by word:

"Anyone who disobeys the orders of a ninja is a loser."

As a Hokage, he is cowardly, mediocre and down and out.

Aida Masaki seemed to have thought of something when he heard this, and couldn't help but chuckled: "Maybe it's because Hokage-sama's deterrence level is only 10%?"

Hearing this, Aida Masaki couldn't help but smile.

It was so bland as to just talk about what to eat tonight.

"Minato Namikaze is a very outstanding ninja."

"."

At the end of the sentence, Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice stopped, leaving a brief blank space.

Although he is in the Hokage lineage, he is a disciple of Jiraiya who recently had a falling out with the Third Generation. Although he has shown some fighting talent now,...

Since the establishment of the village, when has the mighty Konoha lacked people who can fight?

The current Namikaze Minato,

But it’s not the golden flash from the future that kills fifty people in one second.

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

Hatake Sakumo was stunned when he heard this. The smoke ring in his mouth almost choked in his throat. As if he understood something, he helplessly pointed at him and nodded in the air, smiling:

"Konoha is not ready yet."

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

"Prepare for war."

Hatake Sakumo glanced at him in confusion.

"One man's life,"

"Wow."

"According to the information sent back from the border, a total of more than 10,000 ninjas from the Three Kingdoms of Earth, Wind, and Thunder have appeared on the Rain Country and the western and northern borders in just three days."

As civilians, they also have no family support. Some of them are not even as good as the young Minato Namikaze in terms of military merit alone. They just rely on their age and qualifications to get to where they are today step by step.

However, at this moment, after they saw the contrast in treatment between Namikaze Minato and Aida Masaki, they all seemed to see the helpless, desperate and helpless version of themselves in the future.

"Then prepare for war."

Everyone was confused by Hatake Sakumo's words.

Hatake Sakumo was stunned when he heard this. He turned his head and saw Aida Masaki standing beside him, handing over a lighter and lighting it on fire with a click.

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

one by one.

"After all, according to those Iwagakure ninjas. When I went to bed last night, I seemed to have killed a lot of people with Minato?"

Many people's expressions froze.

"Yeah. Find an excuse."

Hatake Sakumo stood up, and many ninjas present seemed to notice for the first time that Konoha White Fang, who always sat at the table with half-squinted eyes and a lazy expression, and often remained silent throughout the meeting,

His body can actually emit such sharp light.

White Fang Strike Force.

"Iwagakure is just trying to find an excuse. It has nothing to do with what we did."

Minato's words were suddenly interrupted by a deep voice:

Soon, the Jonin representatives in the corridor were summoned to the conference room.

As the person involved, Minato Namikaze sat on one side and listened.

Looking a little downcast.

"Why can't we compare?"

"Stupid without knowing it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's intimidation level is very low.

The entire conference room fell into a deathly silence.

"Then what else does the village need?"

Look at each other.

Namikaze Minato also understood.

He lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head helplessly.

This is the difference between the patterns.

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

"Wow."

"."

How can a boss who can't even protect his own people have any moral integrity?

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly remembered something his teacher had told him back then.

"."

"Sakumo-sama!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were suddenly blocked.

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

After seeing the person who made the noise, his pupils immediately tightened and his face was stunned.

Hatake Sakumo stood in the corridor, holding an unlit cigarette in his mouth, looking out the window at the scenery of Konoha Village with a rather gloomy look.

Mito Menyan had a tense face.

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

If he does not express his position and takes the initiative to bear the consequences, then the consequences of subsequent wars launched by Konoha, resulting in a large number of casualties, will be thrown onto him, the 'sinner'.

Hatake Sakumo's tone sounded melancholy, and the expression on his face seemed to be puzzled:

"but."

"Please tell me how to deal with it."

"Third generation sir."

After the brief elders' meeting, Sarutobi Hiruzen had obviously reached a consensus with several elders present. He simply told what happened last night before continuing:

No one can deny this.

"Sakumo-sama should have noticed it too, right?"

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

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

"But he shouldn't die by his own hands."

Moreover, it is still at such a critical moment.

The third generation, the elders, the jounin class, and the heads of each clan.

After everyone present heard his voice, they all showed expressions of almost astonishment.

He gritted his teeth slightly.

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

I don't think that his desire to protect people under the Hokage was a big deal that was so righteous that he didn't care about life and death.

"If you start a war without permission, thousands of people will die on the battlefield."

Why was it that just now everyone was targeting Namikaze Minato, but not even a word about Aida Masaki?

Don’t you want him to stay quiet?

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

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

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