Chapter 371 Konoha is no longer the Konoha of the past

If the news that the Uchiha clan leader and the Hyuga clan leader were eating ramen with the Hokage's assistant in a ramen restaurant spread...

Well, in fact, many people in Konoha have already gotten used to it.

Since their assistant was so casual, the Uchiha clan leader didn't seem to find it strange.

On the contrary, the Hyuga clan leader is quite rare.

After all, the Hyuga clan attaches great importance to these things.

When the news spreads, only the Hyuga clan will feel uncomfortable.

Their clan leader and son-in-law were sitting in Ichiraku Ramen, slurping ramen...

"Hand-made, three bowls of ramen, one of which remains the same."

"Please wait."

He started to get busy with his hands and smile. Fugaku outside the door could see that Hiashi seemed a little uncomfortable.

"Let's go."

It's just eating ramen, what's the big deal? Only you, the Hyuga clan, care about these things.

Fugaku lifted the curtain and sat next to Yan. Hiashi stood there speechlessly for a while before he gritted his teeth and walked forward.

"I thought you weren't going to come in."

Looking at the two clan leaders, Hiko's smiles were full of teasing. Fugaku could still accept it calmly, but Hiashi felt a little uncomfortable.

"Yan, I think we can find a suitable place next time."

It's not that Hiashi looks down on Ichiraku Ramen, but the Hyuga clan has broken too many rules. If the news of him sitting here eating ramen gets out, it might cause some dissatisfaction within the family.

Fortunately, it was Hiko who took the lead, and with Fugaku by his side, he was able to make the people in the clan shut up.

"The Hyuga clan just has too many rules."

Yan shook his head, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating. After taking two mouthfuls of ramen, he continued:

"You two don't need to worry about this matter. Just wait patiently. The war may not involve our Konoha."

"Even if someone wants to involve us, Konoha, it won't be that easy."

"Is there going to be a war?"

I had just finished cooking ramen for Fugaku and Hiashi when I heard this and was immediately shocked.

Yan raised his head and said with a smile:

"An incident of considerable impact has occurred in the Kingdom of Wind. It will involve the Sand Village and the Mist Village. It has nothing to do with us. The news has not been announced yet, so we cannot talk about it publicly."

As he spoke, he gestured with his hands.

Nodding with hand:

"Don't worry, I will keep it confidential. No one will know about this unless the news is announced."

To be honest, this person is pretty good at typing, and of course he also does a good job of keeping secrets.

Never talk nonsense.

Besides, even if it gets out, it doesn’t matter, because it can’t be kept secret for long anyway.

"So, war is inevitable?"

Fugaku took two mouthfuls of noodles, and seeing how skilled he was at it, he often came out to eat more.

Rizu looked at him strangely, gritted his teeth, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Since it has come to this, why bother? Just eat first.

If anyone in the family dared to nag, he would put the blame on Yan.

What?

If the Hokage's assistant invites you to eat ramen, would you dare to refuse?

Can you refuse?

Rizu believed that the family members would be completely blocked by these two sentences.

"pretty close."

If the Akatsuki organization hadn't caused trouble, there would still be room for easing the situation.

As long as we can appease the Daimyo of the Water Country, it will be enough. At most, we can just pay more compensation and apologize with a stern face.

But with Akatsuki operating inside, even if the Daimyo of the Land of Water is willing to accept an apology and compensation, Akatsuki will not allow the situation to get better.

This war must be fought.

Not only do we have to fight, but we have to fight more severely, and it would be best if we could involve several other villages.

"At present, all we can do is to stabilize the situation in the village and be prepared. It won't affect us in the short term."

War cannot be started just by saying so, nor can it be ended just by saying so.

There will be a long period of tug-of-war during this period.

And to put it bluntly, when it comes to the strength of the Mist Village and the Sand Village, the eldest brother is not much better than the second brother.

The gap in strength is not that big, and as long as a war breaks out, it will be enough for them to fight for a while.

After finishing the ramen, Yan wiped his mouth with a tissue, put the money on the counter, and got up to leave.

"So we just have to carry on as usual?"

Hiashi also put down his chopsticks and glanced at Fugaku who was drinking soup with a strange look in his eyes.

"if not."

Fugaku put down the bowl contentedly:

"Some things are beyond your and my control. We just need to follow Yan's footsteps. He won't harm us."

“Besides, Yan and Hokage-sama are not the same people they once were, so you can put your worries aside.

The Hyuga clan's ninjas may be more active, but it's more for reconnaissance rather than for you to fight to your death."

Why did Hiashi and Fugaku hint to Yan to have a talk?

It was simply for the sake of the tribesmen. They wanted reassurance, and Yan gave it to them directly.

Although the family ninjas are the main force, they are by no means consumables.

Although this is cruel, it is the truth.

Once a war breaks out, the ninjas from each family will be the main force on the battlefield, while the consumables are the numerous but average-strength civilian ninjas.

Fortunately, neither Yan nor Tsunade are black-hearted people. They will not deliberately favor either side, nor will they deliberately send a large number of bloated civilian ninjas to their deaths.

This is their bottom line.

"Besides, we still have time to prepare. The flames of war will not reach Konoha right away. We just need to be mentally prepared."

Uchiha never fears war!!!

The Hyuga clan is a bit intriguing. The ninjas of the branch family do what they say, but the ninjas of the main family... are a bit hard to describe.

Therefore, Fugaku dared to say loudly that the Uchiha were never afraid of war, but Hiashi did not dare to do so.

Because if you are not careful there is a risk of getting slapped in the face.

Konoha began to take action.

A group of elite soldiers with ninjutsu skills of up to 500 were summoned, and then followed Jiraiya to the border to guard the border camp to prevent any accidents.

On the other side, the ninja eagles flying out of Konoha were also heading towards the Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sandgakure at the fastest speed.

As for the Mist Village, there was no need for Konoha to remind them because the Mist Village was holding an emergency meeting at that time.

A group of high-level officials cursed and accused the Sand Village of all kinds of wrongdoings, and many of them clamored to attack the Sand Village and seek justice for the village and the daimyo.

The Mizukage represents the face of the Mist Village, and the Daimyo represents the face of the Water Country.

Now the daimyo has been assassinated, and it was done by the Sand Village. How can we tolerate this?

When the news came back, the top leaders of the Mist Village were shocked.

Has the Sand Village lost its mind, or are they tired of living? Are they planning to go to war with the Mist Village?

So the high-level meeting started directly in the shortest possible time.

You have to know that the daimyo is the bottom line, a bottom line that cannot be touched. Except for some crazy people who don't care about their lives, if the villages assassinate the daimyo of other countries, it is tantamount to declaring war.
