Roll back from Naruto

Aragaki was thinking about how to break this deadlock.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure were obviously well prepared, or they simply sneaked into the Land of Fire with the purpose of killing the four of them.

There were still a few hours before the Hokage summoned him, but this mission must have been formulated a long time ago. It was obviously impossible to prevent the mission from happening.

Can the task be stopped?

But at this moment, it seemed that he had returned to the time when he experienced death and return for the first time. He had no means or qualifications to stop it and refused this mission.

He couldn't say it directly. He knew that they would be surrounded by a large number of Kirigakure and sniped during the mission, and that they would almost be killed.

The consequence of doing that was that he finally cleared himself of the suspicion of being a "spy", and then he got mud in his crotch, which looked like shit or shit.

Or directly suggest: "I personally think this mission is very important. We need to form two... no, four teams to execute it together!"

Then the Third Hokage will probably think: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Although the Third Hokage has made a very good impression on him so far, he has always shown a very tolerant and kind leader.

But if you are a small chuunin, perhaps a chuunin who is slightly admired by the Hokage, is he really qualified to comment on the decisions of the third generation or the top management of Konoha?

…

Just like last time, when Aragaki entered the Hokage's office, others were already there, with exactly the same plot, including Uchiha Fugaku giving him a friendly nod.

Next, the Third Hokage spoke and briefly described the specific content of the mission they needed to perform. The last sentence was: "So, do you have any objections?"

Captain Uzumaki Yingzhi said: "No..."

"Subordinate..." Aragaki took a step forward.

At this moment, everyone including the Third Hokage and his assistants, as well as Uzumaki Sakuraji, Hinata Hishimaru and Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but widen their eyes a bit and cast their gazes on Aragaki.

Perhaps at this moment, Uzumaki Sakura is thinking: "Aragaki is indeed a different kind!"

Hinata Hinamori was thinking: "Where did Aragaki appear? Does Konoha have this family?"

Uchiha Fugaku: "Oh my God! Aragaki Tsugumi, what's wrong with you!"

The Third Hokage: "I just said casually..."

"Ahem, Chunin Aragaki, what do you think?" Then the Third Hokage cleared his throat to ease the current stiff and awkward atmosphere.

Aragaki Tsunori still had an expressionless face, which made everyone including the third generation confused.

He opened his mouth and said: "Hokage-sama, does our trip to the Kingdom of Whirlpool have something to do with this war? I hope that Hokage-sama can clear up the confusion."

This question made Sandai want to grab the pipe placed on the right side of the table, but subconsciously, he felt that this might make the young man in front of him think he was too old-fashioned.

He doesn't usually smoke a pipe in front of people, even though he likes it very much.

The third generation pondered slightly: "Well, Aragaki Chuunin, you have a good sense of smell, and you dare to express it. This is indeed related to this war, but... during the war, it is not wrong to say that every decision in the village is related to the war.

.

So why do you ask that?"

The Third Hokage threw the question back to Aragaki Tsugumi in a few words, and his answer was specious.

"Returning to the Hokage-sama, I also hope that I can forgive my subordinates for overstepping their bounds. I just feel that the Country of Uzumaki has always been on good terms with the Country of Fire, and Uzumaki Hidden Village is one of the few allies of Konoha on the east side.

To the east of the Fire Country, there have always been many powerful countries eyeing it. In addition, the Whirlpool Country has a special geographical location but does not border the Fire Country. It is an independent island in the ocean.

But it is a maritime hub connecting the Fire Country continent to the Water Country, the Iron Country, the Bear Country and other countries in the East China Sea. The value of its geographical location and strategic position is beyond doubt.

Therefore, my subordinates boldly believe that whoever wins the country of Whirlpool can hold the power of the East China Sea."

Aragaki's statement made Sandai's eyes light up. He really didn't expect that Aragaki, who was only twelve years old, would have such an argument. Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, it was enough to show that Aragaki was a young man with "ideas".

The third generation believes that it is important for young people to have ideas.

"Well, keep talking."

"So my subordinates feel that the purpose of our trip to the Country of Whirlpool this time is to get the Country of Whirlpool to agree to join the Konoha Front and the United Front Alliance. Otherwise... there will be a big trouble east of the Country of Fire!"

Aragaki's words are a bit exaggerated and sensational. But it is also true, because Kirigakure has shown his willingness to fight with practical actions.

When he said these words, Uzumaki Sakura also stepped forward to stop him, including the assistant next to Sandai who was also about to speak.

However, the next second, the third generation raised his hand to stop Uzumaki Sakuraji and his assistant.

"Hahaha, well said, young man! As the saying goes, if you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries.

And the fact that you can think of these things and have the courage to say them out means that you have taken the fate and future of Konoha and even the entire Fire Country into your heart." The Third Hokage stroked the short beard on his chin and laughed happily.

.

Then, he nodded thoughtfully and continued to speak.

"So, Aragaki, what you really want to express is that you hope Konoha can send more people to the east side and assist you in carrying out this mission, right?"

Hit the nail on the head, Sandai did not let Aragaki continue his "long speech", because if he didn't understand Aragaki's intention after hearing this, he would be a shitty Hokage.

However, the third generation is a little confused, or why Aragaki is so stubborn in hoping that the village can send more help to the eastern front?

Or is this just a bold "show" that Aragaki just wants to show his value and let himself see him?

"Hokage-sama knows everything clearly." Aragaki took advantage of the situation and flattered him.

…

However, it was the Third Hokage's next words that completely ruined Aragaki's plan!

"Actually, yesterday, envoys from the Kingdom of Water secretly visited Konoha. So, you can put aside your worries for the time being."

The words of the Third Hokage made Aragaki feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar! What does this mean? The Kirigakure Village dared to resolutely decide to attack and kill them in the Land of Fire during the diplomatic season between the two countries, under the eyes of Konoha.

This Konoha team is "on mission" to the Country of Whirlpool.

It's no wonder that the Third Hokage would hand over this A-level task to a combination of two Jonin and two Chuunin. Perhaps in the eyes of the Third Hokage, this is indeed a "safe" enough task.

But not long ago, the Kiri Ninja disguised himself as a Suna Ninja and attacked Konoha's wounded team, so even so, in the eyes of Konoha's top brass, is this just a bargaining chip that can be used in negotiations and exchanges for the formation?
