Orochimaru's Allah's Lamp

"Kumogakure wants to recreate the first ninja battle."

"They want to be the vanguard to open the way for the major ninja villages to besiege Konoha."

After just a few words, the conference room immediately fell silent, and only the unhurried voice continued.

"Today's Konoha can defeat Kumogakure, but it cannot stop it from joining forces with other ninja villages."

Orochimaru glanced around and said with a sinister smile, "Are you going to sit back and watch Konoha develop into this situation?"

Most of the small and medium-sized ninja clan leaders avoided looking at Orochimaru and remained speechless.

What Orochimaru said to criticize the current ills is indeed very reasonable, but from another perspective, it may also be alarmist, raising the banner of "survival of the village" in order to force them to completely obey the arrangements of the village.

The four major ninja villages besieged Konoha... after all, this hasn't happened yet.

Since Sandai and other village senior officials know this, they will definitely not sit back and watch such a situation develop.

At this thought, the heads of the small and medium-sized ninja clans secretly exchanged glances.

What they need to consider is that the way Sandai and others think does not treat them as victims.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and said, "What Orochimaru said makes sense. This battle must end as soon as possible. Completely defeat Kumogakure's attack in a short time. At least, let them lose the ability to continue launching.

The ability to fight.

Everyone, what do you think?"

There was silence on the long table, even Nara Shikaku, who is said to have an IQ of over 200, said nothing.

After all, he was just a representative Jonin. How could he think of a way to use human life to make a suicide attack?

If he succeeds, that's it. If he fails, he will lose his foothold and will also cause resentment to the family.

Only the Hokage or the Hokage's advisors can bear the consequences of failure. The small staff commander has already tried his best to patch up the countermeasures proposed by the top management. How can he dare to participate in such a major event.

The village is facing a crisis, but everyone has their own thoughts. Danzo looks on with cold eyes and can't help but laugh in his heart.

If it is in the root, he gives the order, and all the root ninjas are willing to die for the village. This is what a village ninja should be like.

This guy Hiruzen, preaching about the "will of fire" is really ridiculous. When things get tough, no one will back down.

Only those civilians who have no foundation and are attached to the Hokage line will believe this.

Danzo couldn't help but have a trace of sarcasm on his lips, wondering how the Third Generation would end at this point.

However, behind the long table, a deep voice suddenly sounded, making Danzo change his expression.

Uchiha Fugaku had a straight face and spoke slowly, "The Uchiha Guards are willing to participate in a frontal assault on Kumogakure."

Hearing this, the ninja clan leaders present could not help but widen their eyes with astonishment on their faces, wondering what Uchiha was up to.

Facing the gaze of everyone, Fugaku remained unmoved, his stern face devoid of any unnecessary expression, as if he was not the one who had just pushed the entire family to the battlefield.

"It's good that Uchiha has such a sense of responsibility."

Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled smoke and made a decision directly, "Then this time the battle against Kumogakure will be fought with the Uchiha Guard as the main force, and other families as supplements..."

Someone carried the most painful and tiring burden, and the Ninja clan leaders naturally had no objections. Rather, it was good news for them, but some people stood up suddenly and expressed their denial.

Danzo had a cold face and fixed one eye on the third generation, "Hiruzen, do you know what decision you have made? The job of the Uchiha Guard is to maintain law and order in the village. It has never changed since the second generation."

The two Hokage advisors also turned their attention to the third generation and were very dissatisfied.

Not only did the Third Generation not discuss this decision with Danzo, he also did not get angry with them.

"It's always been like this, so it must be right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked indifferent, "Now the village is facing a war, and Uchiha volunteered. What's the problem?"

As he said that, the third generation lowered his eyelids and glanced at Danzo, "Or is it that the root also wants to go to war and compete with Uchiha for the main position on the battlefield?"

"you!"

Being deceived by Sandai's words, Danzo suddenly changed his mind.

Of course, it is impossible for him to send Genbu to the main battlefield. The reason why Genbu has always taken the initiative to take on many dark and bloody tasks is to avoid frontal war and preserve his strength.

But it was impossible for Danzo to reveal the high-level suppression of Uchiha.

This is something that is tacitly understood. You can do it, but you can't say it.

Especially, in front of so many ninja clan leaders.

Under the gaze of everyone, Danzo lowered his face and stopped expressing his denial.

The third generation's upright move did disrupt some of his arrangements. However, at the same time, it also broke the tacit understanding among the village's top management. The two Hokage advisors, Koharu and Mito Kaden, obviously did not agree with this decision.

.

Uchiha Fuki is also a twisted person, and Danzo understands their thoughts. When the war is over and the Uchiha clan is weakened, they may be able to achieve their goals in other ways.

With this thought, the depression in Danzo's heart dissipated. It was still unclear who would win.

"Since everyone has no objections, let us decide on the Uchiha Guards as the main force." The third generation slowly said, "Then, who will lead this ninja army..."

"Hokage-sama, let me do it."

It was rare for Orochimaru to use an honorific. He looked around the long table and smiled coldly, "I think no one has any objections."

Everyone refused to look at Orochimaru, but instead of feeling threatened, they felt relieved.

War is always scary, and with Orochimaru's strength, it will undoubtedly make people feel more at ease.

"Are you going to take charge?" The third generation frowned, questioning, "This ninja war is of great importance, Orochimaru, can you bear it?"

"I will not fail."

Orochimaru grinned and smiled confidently, as if he had everything under control.

The two looked at each other, and Sandai nodded and said, "Then this war will be led by you."

With that said, he began to use the Uchiha Guards as the main force and continued to refine the personnel arrangements, down to each jounin and chuunin.

Orochimaru would interject from time to time and point out his personnel demands.

Fundamental interests were not involved, and no one from the major ninja clan wanted to confront the village's senior officials, so the personnel arrangements went on very smoothly.

After the heads of each ninja clan determined their responsibilities, some people kept leaving.

When leaving the conference room, Orochimaru realized it and glanced at the third generation, his face full of teasing, "Hey, it went smoothly, but the old man really did something unnecessary."

The previous rhetorical question was a bit unexpected, but now that I think about it, if the war fails, the old man can use this as a reason to blame him.

Naruto, it's impossible to make a big mistake!

In order to maintain its purity, he was needed as a scapegoat.

However, Orochimaru didn't care about this.

Without Konoha, Naruto is no longer Hokage, but Orochimaru is still Orochimaru.
