Chapter 456: Lu Jiu Directly Cuts Off the Source of Fire
Please, please stop torturing me.
Shikaku felt more worried than ever.
The Hokage is messing around, and the Hokage's assistant wants to stir up trouble again!
And they even leave the village to him to manage. Who the hell can stand this?
"How about I go?"
Shikaku can also lead troops in battle.
Compared to Yan personally leading his troops to attack the Land of Earth, he would rather lead the troops to fight on his own.
No, I went to the front-line camp to command the battle myself.
The village would not let someone like him go into battle personally. At most, he would stay in the camp to give advice.
"........"
Yan was speechless: "Lu Jiu, do you have no confidence in me?"
"No, I don't have confidence in myself, so please don't tell me about this matter, otherwise I can only call the elders to hold a meeting."
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, so he resorted to a ruthless move:
"Your Excellency the Assistant would not want to see the elders collectively oppose your leaving the village, right?"
Holy shit! !
Are you still studying?
The Council of Elders is usually dispensable, but once the critical moment comes, let alone the Hokage's assistance, even if it is the Hokage, they can unite to oppose.
For example, when Lu Jiu was pushed into a corner, he convened a meeting of the elders.
Then it was suggested that the Hokage's assistant could not leave the village to go to the battlefield, and needed to stay in the village.
He was absolutely sure that he could convince others to vote in favor and force Yan to stay.
"Roll, roll, roll!!"
At this moment, Yan really wanted to kick Shikaku out.
Look what you can do. You have even moved the Council of Elders out. Without me in the village, will Konoha no longer be Konoha?
It's easy to tell that as long as a meeting of the elders is held, most people will oppose him leaving the village and leading his troops to the territory of the Land of Earth.
Danger is one thing, and the second thing is that the elders don’t want certain people to jump out again.
There can't be any chance at all, otherwise everyone will be in trouble together.
Anyway, I won't be convinced by you this time.
Lu Jiu slipped away quickly.
He had no intention of convening a meeting of the elders, but instead took a detour and headed straight for the Sarutobi clan's territory.
He needed to talk to the Third Hokage.
"Shikaku wants to see me?"
Taking the pipe from his mouth, the Third Hokage looked puzzled:
"Let him in."
Since Lu Jiu wants to see me, then let's meet him.
"Sandaime-sama."
Walking into the house, Shikaku wanted to greet the Third Hokage who was sitting on the futon.
"sit down."
The Third Hokage gestured to Shikaku to sit down and talk, and not to be so polite.
Shikaku didn't hesitate, he sat cross-legged on the floor opposite the Third Hokage and said straight to the point:
"I came to see the Sandaime-sama today because I have something I want to discuss with you."
"Please say."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jiu, who was sitting opposite him, stood up and bowed 90 degrees.
The Third Hokage couldn't be defeated at all.
What is this for?
So formal?
"Shikaku, what are you doing?"
Shikaku maintained his 90-degree bow and said sincerely:
"I would like to ask the Sandaime-sama to save the village."
"?????"
A series of question marks were enough to explain the Third Hokage's mental activities at this time. He was really confused.
It seems that nothing serious has happened in the village, is it serious enough for me to personally come out to save it?
Isn't it fine?
Did something happen to Tsunade?
The Third Hokage suddenly lost his composure. Nothing could happen to Tsunade. If anything happened, it would be a big trouble.
"Shikaku, sit down and talk first."
The Third Hokage's voice became heavy.
Shikakuya quickly knelt down, put his hands on his knees, and said seriously:
“Sandaime-sama, the current situation in the ninja world is in chaos. The village may seem calm, but secretly, it is turbulent like a duck floating on water.
The slightest disturbance will lead to an irreversible situation.”
In today's ninja world, Konoha is truly stable. With food in hand, there is no need to panic. The Ministry of Finance also has surplus money to deal with various outstanding troubles.
The other villages were fighting each other, it was very lively, but Konoha just sat on the mountain and watched the fight, and developed happily.
Unfortunately, problems arose after Tsunade ran away.
"So what's your purpose here?"
The Third Hokage is not someone who can be easily fooled.
Shikaku opened his mouth and finally said with a wry smile:
"My Lord, the war is coming soon."
"what?"
The current Third Hokage is truly retiring, and is almost the type who doesn't care about anything happening outside.
It’s not that he didn’t want to find out the news, but the people of the Sarutobi clan were very honest and didn’t dare to talk nonsense.
The people in the Anbu cannot be mobilized, let alone asking questions.
Therefore, the Third Hokage learned the news relatively late, and he had no idea that the village was about to face such a major event as war.
Even he, who knew the cruelty of war, was frightened and jumped up in a hurry:
"Is it the Iwagakure or the Kumogakure? Are they planning to attack the Fire Nation?"
Why is it that when we talk about war, your first reaction is who is attacking us?
Can't we just call them over?
Shikaku was silent for a while, then chose to tell it all.
Now that we're here, there's no need to hide it any longer.
"Since a long time ago, the Assistant-sama has been in contact with the Raikage Ai of the Kumogakure Village.
There was an idea of forming an alliance against the Iwagakure.
It was not until last year that the agreement was made. Now the Cloud Village has sent an envoy, hoping that Konoha will prepare as soon as possible. When the Cloud Village fully intervenes in the war, it will be time for Konoha to launch a fatal blow to the Rock Village. "
"........"
All kinds of secrets came out of Shikaku's mouth, and the Third Hokage's mouth looked very big.
It turns out there are so many secrets in the village that I don’t know?
I was worried that other villages would attack us, but in the end, it's a good thing that Konoha didn't attack others.
All the plans have been completed, and we are just waiting for the Cloud Ninja Village to fully intervene in the war.
A fatal blow to the Iwagakure...
Hiss~~~This plan is quite exciting.
After digesting this confidential information, the Third Hokage also understood why Shikaku was looking for him.
He hoped that he could personally lead the village's ninja army and personally deal a fatal blow to the Iwagakure.
Then leave Yan in the village and get rid of the unstable factors at the same time.
"........"
Am I so untrustworthy?
At this moment, the Third Hokage looked at Shikaku with excitement and deep helplessness.
What excites me is that I can take revenge on the Iwagakure personally.
Unfortunately, he has now become a target of everyone's vigilance in the village.
Shikaku's intention was too straightforward, he was simply worried that he would cause trouble.
It seems that Uchiha Hiko wants to personally lead the army to invade the Land of Earth, but Shikaku and the others are worried.
So he came to me specifically, hoping that I would take over Yan's position and then keep Yan in the village to take charge of the overall situation.
The front line is important, but the people in the rear are more important.
Without someone capable of keeping things under control, all kinds of messes can happen.
