Chapter 597: Both soft and hard tactics
The next day, at dawn.
In the Hidden Leaf Village of the Country of Fire, in an ordinary room.
Snapped--!
The crisp sound of broken porcelain echoed quietly in the room.
Looking at the ANBU ninja who was half-kneeling in front of him, Namikaze Minato's expression was momentarily dull.
It seems that I heard a funny joke.
But his face quickly turned gloomy, his eyes shone with shock and disbelief, and he was completely unable to accept the cruel facts revealed by the ANBU ninja in front of him.
The information in just a few words was like a sharp sword, piercing deep into his heart, and he couldn't even open his eyes to face it!
A powerful force composed of more than 2,000 elite ninjas belonging to the Hidden Leaf Village all died heroically overnight!
This news came from Danzo, who was dispatched to the northern front line in a hurry, and found someone to come back and report the news!
Thinking of this, Minato's eyes flashed with joy.
"Fortunately, the five thousand Konoha ninjas brought by Danzo were a step slower, otherwise something might have happened..."
If something happened to even those five thousand ninjas, Konoha would really be in the same miserable state as Sunagakure!
After several wars, the ninjas in the village were almost drained dry!
The Konoha camp was attacked by a mysterious man, and the camp and more than two thousand ninjas in the camp were instantly reduced to ashes!
Although the Konoha ninja who went on missions outside the camp saved their lives, they were only a minority.
In just a blink of an eye, the situation in the northern part of the Country of Fire has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Danzo Shimura hadn't even had time to launch his dark plan, but the situation was suddenly turning around.
Konoha, which was already facing attacks from public opinion, was now in an unprecedented predicament.
The five thousand Konoha ninja troops stationed in the northern part of the Land of Fire have now become a lonely and helpless army.
They may be attacked by that kind of terror at any time!
The situation changed so quickly, coupled with all the unfavorable news, that Minato Namikaze was so upset that his brows were so furrowed that they almost exploded!
"What went wrong?"
His face was extremely solemn, and his breathing became rapid and uneasy.
Putting aside the more than 2,000 Konoha ninjas who died, the most pressing question at the moment is how to deal with the next move of Yunokuni?
If a war really breaks out with Yunin Village, will the Kingdom of Wind in the southwest, the Kingdom of Water in the northeast, the Kingdom of Thunder in the north, and the Kingdom of Earth in the northwest choose to join the war? Betray the fragile alliance of the five major nations and join the carve-up of the Fire Nation?
Now that the news of the camp being destroyed has undoubtedly made the situation in the Country of Fire worse, the already fragile peace seems to be beginning to gradually collapse...
This is an extremely dangerous signal!
Based on his understanding of Shangguan Mo, the ambitious Mu Ying will definitely take further action instead of just staying in the testing stage!
"hateful!"
Namikaze Minato smashed the table into pieces with one punch, looking shocked and angry.
Should we blame Danzo for his mistake?
But even if he arrived at the northern camp in advance, facing that kind of offensive that could be called a natural disaster, the five thousand ninjas Danzo brought there might also turn into ashes!
......
Hokage Building.
In the conference room, several heavyweights gathered at this moment.
Among them were the newly arrived daimyo of the Land of Fire and the fourth generation Hokage, Minato Namikaze, as well as two advisors, Koharu Koharu and Mito Monobu.
Although due to the rise of Uchiha in Konoha, Uchiha Shisui, who has always protected Namikaze Minato, and Uchiha Fugaku, the leader of the Uchiha clan, are undoubtedly the core figures of Konoha today.
However, due to the special nature of the ANBU department, they were directly subordinate to the Hokage, and even Fugaku, the head of the police department, was regarded as a follower of the Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
Therefore, although in terms of authority, the head of the police department has the same status as the Jonin squad leader, they are on equal footing, and are only lower than the advisory elder. But in real life, even if Uchiha Fugaku's status rose, he could not directly participate in Konoha's top high-level meetings.
"Everyone, since everyone has arrived, I will not talk nonsense anymore and go directly to today's topic."
The fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato was the first to speak. He looked solemn and got straight to the point when he opened his mouth.
The young daimyo sitting at the head of the meeting had significantly enlarged bags under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not gotten enough rest last night.
I originally thought that as the New Year was approaching, I would be able to relax a bit.
However, he did not expect that the news coming from the northern part of the Fire Country shocked him. He realized that the Fire Country was facing an unprecedented threat. He could not sit still and had to rush to the Leaf Village immediately.
In fact, Namikaze Minato has already made the worst assumption and is ready to face the upcoming war between the two countries!
Before the arrival of the daimyo, the entire Konoha Ninja Village had already fallen into a tense and solemn state of comprehensive preparations for war. Both ninjas and civilian ninjas were ready to fight at any time!
"Hokage-dono, what action will you take next? Will you choose war or negotiate a peace to end the war?" The young daimyo looked at Namikaze Minato worriedly.
"Peace?"
Namikaze Minato suppressed the sense of absurdity in his heart and looked at the Fire Country Daimyo seriously.
"What Shangguan Mo wants is to start a war and make his country of Tang the sixth largest country in the world!"
His tone was low and cold, causing goosebumps all over Daming's body.
He quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at the oppressive blond young man again.
"You are right, but what cannot be denied is that Konoha's current situation..."
Namikaze Minato nodded slightly.
What he was worried about was that Shangguan Mo was planning an unknown conspiracy behind the scenes in the name of "revenge"!
At this time.
There was a gentle knock on the door of the conference room.
Namikaze Minato woke up from the silence. "Come in."
The door to the conference room slowly opened, and an ANBU ninja wearing a black close-quarters combat uniform walked in quickly.
"Shisui, what happened?" Even though he was wearing a mask, Namikaze Minato recognized the identity of this ANBU ninja at a glance.
Not only him, but everyone in the conference room, except for the Fire Nation daimyo, instantly recognized this well-proportioned black-haired ninja.
After turning to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoyan looked at each other, with a hint of complexity flashing across their faces.
Shisui spoke in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty the Fourth Generation, there is an envoy from the Kingdom of Tang at the entrance of the village requesting an audience.
Hearing this, the expressions of both Namikaze Minato and the two advisors suddenly changed!
They looked at each other with solemn expressions.
See you in the picture!
Shangguan Mo's true intention is now here!
