Starting the fourth generation Hokage

Danzo was indeed up to something.

When they were recruiting more troops, they had vowed that Kumo Ninja would not be able to join the war in the short term. Now it seems that if he had been believed, the consequences would have been even more serious. But it seems meaningless to accuse the Pot King's intelligence department now.

Although Nonoyu's intelligence could not be wrong, after all, at this time, no definite news had been received that the Kumo ninja had sent troops to invade the Fire Country. Fortunately, as long as the war in the Land of Grass ends quickly, Konoha will have nothing to fear if the Kumo ninja invades the country again.

In the Hokage's office, Namikaze Minato read the information with heavy eyes, and then fell into deep thought.

Everything was still too late. Now that it was known that Yun Ninja would send troops to join the battle at any time, he had time to prepare in advance. But how should we deal with the situation where they suddenly invade the situation while Konoha headquarters is currently depleted of combat power? Directly recall the main frontline players? But if they do this, it will inevitably have an impact on the war in the Country of Grass, and at the same time it will break the pre-planned strategic plan for a quick victory.

After working together, Namikaze Minato quickly remembered that Konoha still had a highly intelligent staff officer, so why leave him alone.

Soon, he summoned Nara Shikaku and released the news about Kumo Ninja straight to the point.

Nara Shikaku suddenly heard that Kumogakure was ready to join the war at any time. He was slightly startled at first. After a brief hesitation, he couldn't help but confirm the credibility of the information with Minato Namikaze. In the end, even he immediately locked up He frowned.

"Lord Hokage, if this information is true, Konoha may indeed be in some danger now."

Nara Shikaku's thinking was quick, and he soon seemed to suddenly think of something worse. His expression suddenly changed slightly and he said: "Oh no, if you look at it this way, the battle on the battlefield of Grass Country will not go very smoothly. …”

"You mean, Konoha may not be able to defeat the Iwa Ninja in just two days as expected during the Grass Country War, right?"

Namikaze Minato didn't know how Nara Shikaku came to such a conjecture, but if this is the case, Konoha will most likely be in a dilemma soon.

Nara Shikaku nodded when he heard this and said without hesitation: "Although this is just speculation, it is indeed possible."

"Lord Hokage, Cloud Ninja has to be on guard. I think Konoha must prepare early..."

"Then what do you think should be done now? If the main force is immediately transferred back, will the risk be minimized?" Namikaze Minato sighed in his heart and also had a headache.

This is the least effective but also the most reliable response strategy. The disadvantage is that once the main force is withdrawn and the Iwa ninja can breathe, they will inevitably be in a stalemate with Konoha on the battlefield of Grass Country again. The bigger hidden danger is that if the Kumo ninja declares war on Konoha in the future, the war situation will evolve into Konoha pitting one against two, and fall into a long period of attrition and tug-of-war.

The strategy he wanted to end the war quickly and recuperate undoubtedly came to nothing...

In addition, as long as the external war does not end, Namikaze Minato will not be able to rest for a day.

Without Nonoyu's help in the past two days, the external war and the pressure on internal government affairs have increased day by day. He vaguely felt that the existence of pharmacist Nonoyu seemed to make him somewhat accustomed to being lazy...

"In the long run, it is not wise to move back to the main force at the moment."

Nara Shikaku had a wry smile on his face, Namikaze Minato was thinking almost the same as him. But facing the expectant gaze of Lord Hokage on him, Nara Shikaku had no choice but to come up with the best strategy, although this strategy was extremely risky.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally said: "There is a way that does not require withdrawing the main force, but it may require you, Hokage, to take risks..."

…

Two hours later, Konoha received an urgent military message from the front line of the Land of Grass.

When the advisory duo received the news that the Kusanagi were sending troops to form an alliance with the Iwa ninja, they hurriedly notified all parties to prepare for an emergency meeting. After the notification was completed, the two were the first to arrive at the conference room in the Hokage building before the first meeting. Waiting for everyone.

After moving to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoyan sat on their seats, with almost identical expressions of anxiety on their faces.

Immediately after them came Shimura Danzo.

As soon as the latter entered the conference room with a cane and an expressionless face, Mito Kadoen asked eagerly: "Why did the Kusanagi suddenly form an alliance with the Iwa ninja?"

"Duanzo, the intelligence department you are responsible for, didn't you notice any movement in advance?"

Faced with this kind of accountability, Shimura Danzo was completely unmoved. He just took his seat leisurely and then calmly retorted: "Why are you panicking? Even if the grass ninja join forces to join the war, they are no match for Konoha."

"As for the fact that the Intelligence Department did not detect Yancao's alliance in time, it was mainly because the headquarters did not have enough manpower."

After the understatement of prevarication, he continued in a tone as if the emergency meeting was meaningless: "The Grass Ninjas have always been wavering. This time their participation in the war has actually become the loser. After the war, we will just get more information. Much compensation.”

"In a sense, this is actually a good thing."

The advisory duo were a little speechless. Judging from the current situation, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

But soon, a voice from far away came from outside the conference room, saying harshly: "Lord Danzo, Sir Advisor, we have just received even worse news."

"Towards the northeastern border of the Country of Fire, the vanguard of the Cloud Ninja was discovered not long ago. The Country of Thunder may have launched an undeclared war against Konoha..."

Wow.

As soon as Nara Shikaku's voice fell and no one entered the conference room, his news shocked the consultant duo.

After going to bed, Koharu stood up from his seat in surprise. Something in Mito Kaden's hand unexpectedly fell on the table. Danzo's reaction was not very big, but he squinted slightly. The left eye couldn't help but open at this moment.

"What's going on? Staff Shikaku, is this news true?" Mito Kadoyan was wiping his glasses just now. After hearing the news, his hands trembled and he actually dropped them. At this time, he realized that he He lost his composure and was slightly embarrassed. After picking up the glasses that fortunately were not broken and putting them back on, he quickly regained his serious expression and looked at Lu Jiu who walked into the conference room and asked.

"This... when did this happen? Why did Yun Ren suddenly...?" After sleeping, the difference on Xiaochun's face was also unbelievable.

"This news is of course true and came from just five minutes ago."

Entering the conference room, Nara Shikaku's face looked neither sad nor happy, as if he had expected it, which was actually the case.

After he and Namikaze Minato analyzed the intelligence sent back by Nonou, they quickly sensed the crisis and had already responded in advance. Although the Kumo ninja came very quickly, fortunately, the Hokage-sama responded decisively and did not waste any time.

Rather than saying that Nara Shikaku came here to attend a meeting, it would be more accurate to say that he came here to inform everyone of the Yondaime's latest decisions and orders...
