Chapter 685 Coercion and inducement

"I have decided to fight to the death with the Hot Spring Village!"

After hearing what Namikaze Minato wanted to express, the ninja clan chiefs present, even though they usually behaved extremely calmly, couldn't help but change their expressions at this moment, as if they were shocked by the sudden news.

The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became tense and solemn, making it difficult to breathe.

Faced with this situation, even Shisui, who was also sitting in the jonin seat, couldn't help but narrow his eyes and felt the suffocating and depressing atmosphere in the conference room.

"This... Lord Yondaime, is what you just said true? Are you really planning to start a war with the Kingdom of Soup on your own?"

The chief of the mountain tribe stood up bravely and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

He even wondered if he had heard it wrongly or was hallucinating.

Perhaps ordinary ninjas or people in Konoha Village are not aware of the strength of the representatives of Yugu Village, but these well-informed ninjas know it clearly!

Facing the rapidly rising Yugenin, Konoha is likely to be the losing side!

Just like that day at Kyuubi Night!

This caused some of the people present to look at each other in shock and fear.

They are noble ninjas, so they would not want to trade their lives with those lowly insects!

"Yes, this matter has been carefully discussed by the top leaders, and the Daimyo has also promised to give Konoha his full support. Do you have any doubts about this decision?"

Minato sat in the main seat. Although his mood had fluctuated a bit before, he quickly regained his composure.

And he also knew why the Konoha ninjas present were unwilling to fight an all-out war with the Yugen Village.

"It's nothing more than worrying that the interests of my family will be harmed, or even my own life!"

Namikaze Minato sneered secretly in his heart.

"I object to this decision! The Fourth Hokage, I think the risk of an all-out war with the Country of Yu is too great...

Excuse me, with our current strength, we can no longer fight against the Kingdom of Hot Springs alone. If we act this way, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to the village! When we get there, we, the Konoha ninjas, won't be able to explain to the first and second generations!"

At this moment, the leader of the Shimura clan stood up and expressed his views with a serious face. When he started shouting, the faces of everyone in the room changed slightly, and they were secretly awe-inspiring.

"This guy Shimura Takusai, can we only say that he is worthy of being that person's nephew? This character... is a bit too bold to say..."

"Chief Takuai, you are going too far. Before the battle even starts, you have already boosted others' prestige and destroyed your own ambition. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"

The man with empty eyes sitting on the seat of the Hyuga clan spoke calmly.

Judging from what Hinata Hiashi said, he was obviously on the side of Namikaze Minato.

"The number of standing ninjas in Konoha is no less than 20,000! How can we not even defeat a hot spring ninja village? This is simply ridiculous!"

"Clan Chief Tuozhai is a little alarmist..."

As Uchiha Fugaku spoke, a flash of ugliness flashed across the eyes of the ninjas present.

The powerful chakra coercion emanating from the opponent's body made the ninjas present look a little ugly. The behavior of this Uchiha clan leader was obviously to support Namikaze Minato, and there was even some threatening meaning in it!

Then, they began to carefully weigh the pros and cons of the political implications.

If they don't follow Minato Namikaze's will, they will definitely be punished later, right? ?

For a moment, there was silence in the conference room on the third floor of the Hokage Building.

......

There was an eerie silence in the conference room.

Regarding the strength of Tang Country's psychic beast army, anyone who has been on the battlefield can see it.

Even Konoha Hidden Village, which is nominally known as the No. 1 Ninja Village today, may not be able to truly compete with the Country of Yu in terms of military strength.

Although many of the Konoha ninjas present were unwilling to admit this frankly, in fact, the invincible record of the Yugen Village made them calm down instantly.

Just the main combat psychic beasts of the first-generation Kokage Shangguan Mo, their strength is probably equivalent to the overall high-end combat power of a great country's ninja village!

If you really want to fight against the country of Yu, you need to gather the power of at least two major ninja villages to be able to match it.

This kind of thought is probably the real thought in the hearts of most ninjas present, but they just don't dare to say it in front of Minato Namikaze.

Therefore, if they, the Konoha Ninja Village, go out to fight alone, then they feel that this all-out war will be difficult to win anyway, because the chance of winning is really slim.

At this moment, Namikaze Minato, who had remained silent for a long time and collected the introverted thoughts of everyone present, coughed twice, successfully attracting everyone's attention.

"For us in Konoha, this is undoubtedly a life-and-death crisis. We in Konoha have always loved peace, but in order to survive, we must be forced to carry out this war. War kills people. This is inevitable, and war It’s not my original intention, it’s just that this is the only path left to us now…”

Although such words sounded a bit too hypocritical, everyone present nodded unconsciously, feeling that what Minato Namikaze said was very correct.

That is, the relationship between Konoha and Yunokuni has reached an extremely tense level.

This can be seen from the three-year non-stop war and the invasion of the psychic beast army this time.

So, they in Konoha really don’t have many choices.

In other words, Konoha no longer has any way out.

"Here, in the name of Hokage, I can promise that I will definitely maintain fairness in this all-out war. Moreover, the two consultant elders are also old. In the future... the village needs young people. The higher-ups come up to awaken the vitality of Konoha..."

As Minato Namikaze said this, the ninja clan leaders and jonin who were still hesitant or unwilling all changed their expressions, and their eyes could not help but look at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was the first to the left of Minato Namikaze.

If this is the case, then it seems that there is no need for them to take the risk and contact this ambitious third generation...

Anyway, those who died in the war were family ninjas and Genin and Chunin. For them, if they could use the lives of some insignificant ninjas to exchange for the position of senior elders, it would be a huge profit!
