Chapter 252 Sarutobi Hiruzen volunteered to go to the Rain Village!
“The number of people dispatched from the five major ninja villages is not too large.
Konoha may be the party with the most.
However, most of the people in Konoha are responsible for the transportation of supplies, and the main force to attack the Rain Village and the Akatsuki organization is the other four major ninja villages.
Do we need to share these detailed information with Nagato?"
In the hidden underground space, Black Zetsu reported honestly to Obito.
"No need. Since he wants to play, let him play. Nagato doesn't trust us, so it's good to let him hit the wall. Nagato won't restrain himself unless he hits his head."
"Besides, the combined forces of the five great ninja villages may not be able to defeat Nagato."
If the five major ninja villages come out in full force, Obito naturally believes that they can flatten the Rain Village and the Akatsuki base.
Even though Nagato is very powerful, he doesn't mind confronting the five major ninja villages head-on.
I'm not exaggerating. Even if you, Nagato, have Six Paths of Pain, and the five major ninja villages come together, they can tire you to death.
Now, the five major ninja villages have only sent a few hundred people to participate in the war, and the number of such a coalition force seems to be quite large.
But it is not so easy to take down the Akatsuki organization with certainty.
Tiandao still sits on the high tower every day, looking out of the village.
In recent days, as orders were issued one after another, the people of Rain Village realized that a new war was coming.
All the villages are preparing.
The same is true for Konoha.
Tsunade never thought of hiding such a big thing.
The first thing she did when she returned to the village was to ask someone to invite the Third Hokage, Mitomon En, and other members of the Elders' Council to come to the meeting room.
After reading the report on the table, everyone sitting in the conference room was surprised.
Going to war?
They just learned such important news now.
And judging from the report, Konoha seems to be a supporting role among the five major ninja villages, with only two hundred elite soldiers and a team of five hundred to transport food and supplies.
"I know you have a lot of questions. What I want to say is that according to my and Yan's guess, the strength of the Akatsuki organization is not as simple as we see.
This time the coalition forces might suffer a great loss.
Konoha is responsible for the transportation of supplies, which can be regarded as avoiding the frontal battlefield. I don't want the village to suffer too much loss."
After Tsunade's explanation, everyone understood why Konoha played a minor role in this war.
It turned out that they wanted to avoid the frontal battlefield and not bring too much damage to the village.
In this case, the result of letting other villages take the lead in the charge does not seem unacceptable.
Even though we won't get much benefit from the combat power, at least we can avoid major losses.
The premise is that the Akatsuki organization is really as powerful as Tsunade says.
"Hokage-sama, I wonder which troop the village will send to the Rain Village?"
As the leader of the Jonin squad, this is something Nara Shikaku needs to consider.
In non-war times, the village would not allow a large number of ninjas to sit idle and form a ninja army.
Most of the mobilizations were initiated before the war began.
Before the army is formed, positions at border outposts can be drawn from.
Nara Shikaku wanted to know if Tsunade was planning to directly draw troops from the border outposts or form them from the village.
If it is formed from the village, he can issue a mobilization order.
If it is a front-line transfer, it would be helpful to transfer new personnel to guard the border.
"Why not transfer people from the border?"
The Third Hokage suddenly spoke.
This year, the ninja troops stationed near the Rain Country are composed of ninjas from the Sarutobi and Shimura families.
Their strength is also one level stronger than that of ordinary ninja troops, enough to become an elite force mobilized by the village.
"Old man, are you sure?"
Tsunade and Hiko had no idea of mobilizing border troops, and both thought it would be better to form them from the villages.
If they are deployed directly to the border, there is a suspicion that they are targeting families like the Sarutobi and Shimura.
It doesn't matter if you are targeted at other times, but if you use these tricks when it comes to war, it will easily cause resistance from the ninjas of various families.
Danzo had done stupid things like this before, and Yan didn't want to learn from him.
As a result, the Third Hokage took the initiative to propose mobilizing border troops.
You must know that swords have no mercy on the battlefield.
Theoretically, Konoha will not enter a head-on war.
What if we get attacked?
If the losses are heavy, those who will die will be ninjas from families like Sarutobi and Shimura.
"I'm sure. At the same time, I will personally go to the Rain Country and lead my family's ninjas to fight for the village."
The reputations of the Sarutobi and Shimura families are now too bad and need to be cleared up through merit.
Only in this way can he avoid being targeted further, and at the same time he also wants to go to the Rain Country to see it for himself.
In addition to the death of his two sons, it was the sacrifice of Koharu Utane that had a profound impact on him.
Therefore, the Third Hokage had the idea of going there in person to take a look.
Good guy!
Yan and I didn't even want to mobilize the border troops because we were afraid that others would mistakenly think we were targeting you. Yet you took the initiative to ask for it and even wanted to go there in person.
For a moment, Tsunade really didn't know what to say.
Everyone in the conference room focused their attention on her and the Third Hokage.
Directly mobilizing border troops is undoubtedly the best option.
Besides, the Third Hokage has already made the request, should we refuse?
Tsunade hesitated.
After thinking seriously for a moment, Tsunade finally agreed to the Third Hokage's proposal:
"Then let's mobilize the border troops. But old man, are you sure you want to go to the Rain Country?"
The Third Hokage proposed this idea on his own initiative, and Tsunade was not targeting anyone. Now that the atmosphere has come to this, then the border troops should be mobilized.
However, Tsunade was really speechless at the idea of the Third Hokage going to the Rain Country.
You are already old, wouldn’t it be better for you to stay in the village and enjoy your retirement?
He had to go to the Rain Country, a place of trouble, to join in the fun.
Do you really think Akatsuki is made of mud?
Picking up the pipe, lighting it, and taking two puffs, the Third Hokage smiled confidently and said:
"Ohnoki can still become the commander of the coalition forces, how can I lose to him?"
"......"
as long as you are happy.
"Okay, I promise you, but when you go to the front line, you can't do anything reckless. You need to obey Yan's command."
Tsunade didn't want the Third Hokage to go to the front line, cause all kinds of trouble, and hold Yan back.
"can."
The Third Hokage agreed to Tsunade's request without hesitation.
"Then Shikaku you will also follow the old man to the Land of Rain, stay with Yan, and help him deal with some trivial matters."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Nara Shikaku also agreed.
The meeting ended quickly and the village began to prepare.
As for why Konoha had to bear the food consumption of the coalition forces, no one questioned it, because Konoha was not short of this food.
In the Fire Nation, food is also the least valuable commodity.
