Chapter 686 The wind direction changes
"Since it is the wish of the Yondaime-sama, I, the Nara clan, must obey it!"
The young ninja sitting in the Nara clan's seat immediately stood up to express his agreement. His change in position quickly led to the enthusiastic response of others, who were afraid that they would be resented by Minato Namikaze if they were a step slower.
"The Hyuga clan..."
"The Akimichi clan..."
"The Aburame clan..."
"The Inuzuka clan..."
As the heads of the major ninja clans expressed their support for participating in the war, those who were still hesitant had to nod their heads and follow the general trend and choose to join Namikaze Minato's camp.
Looking at the active participation of the clan leaders, Minato Namikaze finally nodded with satisfaction.
If you want the horse to run, you have to give it grass!
"Then, this meeting ends. I hope that after everyone goes back, they can select suitable candidates within the family and submit the list in time."
Namikaze Minato added a final reminder.
After saying that, he turned around and left without even looking at the old guy beside him.
After the meeting, the heads of the various ninja clans left the meeting room one after another. Similarly, for some unknown reason, these dozens of jonin turned a blind eye to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was like a dead tree...
Facing this scene, Koharu and Mito Kadoyan looked a little unhappy when they were sleeping.
After all, they have been friends for half a lifetime, and both of them felt uncomfortable seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen had such an unpopular day.
They looked at each other, but at the same time they shook their heads helplessly.
"Konoha is in such a mess, Hiruzen really shouldn't cause trouble at this time..."
"It's understandable to pave the way for Tsunade, but now is the time when Namikaze Minato is needed. The village... cannot be in chaos..."
But what the two of them didn't know was that what prompted Hiruzen Sarutobi to start secretly fighting for power again was that he became increasingly suspicious of the death of his friend Danzo!
He had 70% reason to suspect that Minato Namikaze framed Danzo with a scheme. Otherwise, Uchiha Itachi's series of actions would not be justified at all!
"Speaking of which, we still need to formulate a set of strategies to restrict the actions of Shangguan Mo's spirit beasts, which will take a lot of time to plan."
When everyone left the meeting room, Utane Koharu and Mitomon En started talking among themselves.
After hearing this, Mito Kadoyan nodded slightly, expressing that he understood this decision very well.
"So, Xiaochun, do you have any idea on how to effectively limit the power of those summoned beasts?"
Mizuto Menyan turned his gaze to the old woman, looking forward to hearing her opinion.
Utane Koharu shook her head bitterly and responded honestly.
"According to the intelligence information we have so far, the simple human wave tactics have almost no effect on the powerful summoned beasts. Although to some extent, the human wave tactics can indeed contain their actions, but once they want to escape the encirclement, ordinary ninjas will find it difficult to stop them.
In this case, only ninjas of equal strength can limit their range of activities. Apart from this, there seems to be no other good solution. "
In other words, we still have to rely on Konoha's elite jonin to take over?
Mito Kadoyan smiled bitterly, isn't it the same as if she didn't say anything?
bang——
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was as motionless as a wooden stake, stood up from his seat and suddenly made a lot of noise.
When they went to bed, Koharu and Mito Kaden looked over, but they only saw the old back of Sarutobi Hiruzen!
"this......"
The two looked at each other and sighed in their hearts.
"It doesn't matter if he takes a little blow. Konoha is in trouble right now. I hope he can figure it out..."
......
"I am deeply disappointed in your performance, Feng."
In the dim room, the wrinkled Sarutobi Hiruzen stood in the center with a gloomy and cold expression on his face, looking at Yamanaka Kaze who was kneeling on one knee in front of him.
At this moment, Shanfeng's face was pale, and after receiving the severe admonishment from Sarutobi Hiruzen, his face became even paler and weaker.
He lowered his head deeply, as if he wanted to bury it in his collar. Even though it was difficult to breathe, he still tried his best to suppress the pain and try to keep his breathing steady.
"I am truly sorry, Third-generation Master, Fourth-generation Master did not fully trust me..."
However, in the face of Yamanaka Feng's sincere apology, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression did not ease, but became even gloomier.
"You were trained by Danzo. You should know the strangeness of his death best! You should understand the consequences, that is, the tiger baby will be abandoned."
Those cold words were like a sharp blade piercing Shan Zhongfeng's heart, making him feel suffocated by fear.
He wanted to open his mouth and show the curse seal on his tongue to Sarutobi Hiruzen. It was not because he was incompetent, but because he really had a hard time explaining himself!
After the root was gathered by the Hokage group at that time, Namikaze Minato personally planted the seal of destruction on the root of his tongue!
Even if he knew the truth, he couldn't tell it to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
But what made him very helpless was that his child was in the hands of Sarutobi Hiruzen, forcing him to bite the bullet and pretend to be submissive to him.
Although he often claims to be an emotionless machine that exists only to complete tasks, all emotions are a burden...
However, when faced with the punishment of his own child's life and death, Shan Zhongfeng still felt unprecedented confusion and fear.
Roots are his home, his destination, and the meaning of his existence.
Once he loses this home, he will be like a fish out of water and can only wait quietly for the end of his life on land.
But compared to his only heir in this world, this mere "destination" seems so insignificant!
Therefore, Shan Zhongfeng, who had remained calm even in the face of death, tasted fear in his heart for the first time at this moment.
And this kind of fear will be deeply imprinted in his genes and accompany him through the long journey of life.
After all, after leaving Danzo.
He is still just a rat living in the dark. Once he loses the protection of Minato Namikaze, he will probably never find a place to stay in this world again.
Sarutobi Hiruzen will never forgive his deception!
"I understand, Third Generation-sama!"
Shan Zhongfeng suppressed his inner fear, bowed his head and promised that he would try his best to investigate the cause of Danzo's death.
He is the Root, Danzo's sibling, and a minion of darkness.
It was so before and it is so now.
It's just a different chess player to control me...
He is not himself and does not live for himself.
But children are his last "love"!
Thinking of this, Shan Zhongfeng's inner panic gradually subsided.
"Hmph! Back off." Hiruzen Sarutobi snorted and waved his hand. "Considering that you have appeared in my place, please don't contact me again in the past few days!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head slightly, glanced at Shanfeng kneeling on the ground, and said these words coldly.
"Yes......"
Shanfeng stood up silently, like a machine running at full speed, and left the cell with great obedience.
After Yamafaze left, several figures emerged from the shadows of the room and came to stand behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.
As the last strength and right-hand man in his hands now, these former old subordinates are the people Sarutobi Hiruzen trusts the most.
Compared to the emotionless Root Ninja machines, they not only symbolize loyalty, but also possess impressive strength, and are superior to most of the eliminated Root members who turned to him.
