Starting the fourth generation Hokage

"It's too late? What do you mean, Danzo-sama?"

Namikaze Minato was stunned for a moment, then his eyes narrowed, his brows furrowed and he turned to look at Shimura Danzo who stood up slowly.

He didn't believe that he couldn't even get this day's time.

The rest of the people were slightly puzzled by Danzo's words. Under everyone's doubtful eyes, Danzo, who was holding a cane, walked to the front of the war map in front of the conference table, and suddenly pointed at a certain Iwa Ninja on the map. He said from the position of the fortification: "The front line has now received strategic instructions for counterattack, and preparations have begun at this moment."

"The vanguard unit responsible for the side feint attack will launch a surprise attack early tomorrow morning."

"At that time, the reinforcements sent out must arrive in time, and then coordinate to assist the frontal troops. Only in this way can the strategic goal of defeating the Iwa Ninja be achieved."

"Therefore, the dispatch of reinforcements must not wait until tomorrow, otherwise even if we win the war with the Iwa Ninja, Konoha's losses will become greater..."

When Minato Namikaze heard these slow words from Shimura Danzo, his expression became increasingly uglier.

Forcing himself to suppress the anger rising in his heart, Namikaze Minato asked: "Danzo-sama, do you mean that the frontline troops have already started taking action?"

"certainly."

Shimura Danzo seemed not to notice, or deliberately ignored the dissatisfaction on Namikaze Minato's face, and continued indifferently: "This strategic plan was originally formulated in advance by the staff of Captain Shikaku Nara. OK."

"So, I just informed the frontline troops in advance and asked Orochimaru's department, who was responsible for the feint attack, to prepare first."

"After all, in war, soldiers need speed."

After saying these words, Danzo Shimura returned to his seat, minding his own business.

For a moment, everyone at the conference table had different expressions.

"Ahem, Danzo, you are a little self-independent..."

Mito Kadoyan first made a verbal accusation, but then said with certainty: "But since the strategic plan has been formulated long ago, there is no problem if it is implemented as soon as possible."

Although Danzo, as the Hokage's assistant, was a bit overstepping in this matter. But after all, the thing itself was not wrong, so he chose to verbally hold him accountable, and that was it. Koharu seemed to want to say something when he went to bed, but after Mito Kazuto expressed his opinion, he secretly glanced at Namikaze Minato, and then chose to drink tea in silence.

Orochimaru?

I never expected that this guy had been tied to the front line to restrict his rampant human experimentation, but he would cause trouble for himself in unexpected places...

At this time, Danzo's arrogance and his advisor's acquiescence, this chilling scene was deeply engraved in Namikaze Minato's heart.

When the anger reached a certain limit, the calmness in Hara Minato's character suddenly allowed him to quickly calm down, and then turned into calmness and indifference.

As his thoughts were spinning rapidly, Namikaze Minato suddenly smiled inexplicably, and then looked at Danzo with deep meaning.

"As expected of Assistant Hokage, Danzo-sama, you are indeed far-sighted.

But I still want to confirm one thing for you. Konoha will devote all its main force to the war with the Iwa Ninja. If Kumogakure suddenly attacks from behind at this time, we will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Your intelligence department, the intelligence ninjas stationed in Kumogakure are extremely critical. What I want to know is, is there really no sign of preparations for war in Kumogakure recently? "

Shimura Danzo's left eye was slightly squinted, his expression did not change at all, but his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that the Yondaime has noticed something?

No, this is not possible.

The internal security of Yunyin Village was extremely tight at this time, and secret preparations for war were basically in place. It is impossible for the Fourth Hokage to have a way to find out the exact internal situation. After all, even the elites in his Intelligence Department have been lurked in Kumogakure for many years. , this is absolutely impossible...

According to the plan, he only needs to wait for the decisive battle between Iwa Ninja and Konoha to break out. At that time, Kumogakure, who has found an opportunity, will move out, causing the Fire Nation that cannot take action in a short time to deal with the invasion to suffer heavy losses, and then impeach the fourth generation. It's logical...

Thinking this way, Danzo's heart became a little calmer.

After calmly meeting Namikaze Minato's serious gaze, he said with certainty: "There are no signs of preparations for war within the Kumo ninja. This is the latest news from the intelligence ninja lurking in Kumogakure Village."

After all, the Pot King is still very deep in the city. Namikaze Minato stared at Danzo, whose face showed no flaws at all. While sneering in his heart, he had already anticipated the outcome if things developed in the opposite direction.

If you dare to speak so eloquently, you are probably ready to shift the responsibility to the Intelligence Department if something goes wrong, right?

Although he basically understood everything in his heart, Namikaze Minato pretended to be finally relieved on the surface, nodded and said: "If that's the case, then I'm relieved."

"Captain Shikaku, we will gather reinforcements before tonight and set off for the Country of Grass. I will leave the mobilization work entirely to you..."

In the corner of the conference table, Nara Shikaku seemed to have suddenly come to his senses after hearing Namikaze Minato's words. He looked a little strange for a moment. After a brief hesitation, he still chose to accept the order.

After more than ten minutes, the pre-war meeting finally ended.

After everyone in the conference room left, Minato Namikaze, who was sitting in the main seat, finally gathered his thoughts, then suddenly formed a seal, and then his whole person turned into a ball of smoke and disappeared.

On the other side, inside Mount Miaomu.

Sitting cross-legged next to the river flowing with the toad oil waterfall, among the strange peaks and rocks, there is another water gate on a certain hill. At this time, the condensed natural energy slowly dissipates, and the immortal mode is released.

After quickly receiving the experience information sent back by the shadow clone, Minato's face became a little more solemn.

After careful consideration, although he was still dissatisfied with the current progress of his practice, he decided to end today's practice early and suspend this daily practice of practicing immortality in the short term.

Because in the following days, he needs to go all out to prepare for the possible war in which Kumogakure takes advantage of the situation and invades the Kingdom of Fire.

Konoha's strategic decision to devote all its main forces to the Kingdom of Grass cannot be changed. If Kumogakure really takes this opportunity to declare war on Konoha, then even he, the Hokage, may have to rush to the front line.

After the response plan in his mind gradually became clear, Namikaze Minato quickly packed up and rushed back to Konoha...
