Chapter 59: Forced by the situation, we can only prepare for the worst

He went out to fool around all night last night, but was called to a meeting before he could catch up on any sleep. Jiraiya looked listless, and his white hair appeared very messy.

There was a strange smell on his body, which made Orochimaru, who was sitting next to him, look at him with disgust.

"meeting........."

"The Sand Village is really going too far!!"

Jiraiya was interrupted before he could finish his words. Looking at the furious Utane Koharu, he wanted to say something but hesitated, so he chose to swallow his unfinished words.

Before becoming the Sannin, Jiraiya and Orochimaru did not have much say in the village.

If it weren't for the fact that they were strong enough and were disciples of the Third Hokage, neither of them would probably be qualified to participate in such a meeting.

So when what he wanted to say was interrupted, Jiraiya hesitated for a moment and chose to remain silent.

Forget it, just watch the performance of Elder Koharu Utane.

Why are you butting in?

Jiraiya comforted himself in his heart, and when he looked up, he saw Orochimaru glance at him sideways, then turned his head away in disgust.

"???"

No, what do you mean, Orochimaru?

"They first provoked us in the Kingdom of Rivers, and after the village responded, they dared to surround and kill the people in the village. Are they trying to start a war between the two villages?"

When she was young, Utane Koharu was more impatient and irritable.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he put the blame on the Sand Village.

"Is there any misunderstanding in this?"

Tsunade will not indulge Utane Koharu. After reading the intelligence information, she thought for a moment and interrupted:

"I always feel that something is wrong. Even if the Sand Village can't wait to take action, there is no need to escalate the provocation."

"Once or twice is a provocation, but if it happens every time, is it still a provocation?"

Tsunade's words made Utane Koharu a little unhappy.

She believed that her analysis was correct and that the Sand Village did this on purpose in order to provoke a war between the two villages.

Did this old woman take any medicine today?

It’s the relatives who are here, and they are so angry.

Tsunade frowned and was about to retort.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little strange, Qiu Daoqufeng, who was in the middle, said quickly:

"I think what Tsunade said makes sense, but no matter what, it's the Sand Village's fault. All the conflicts were provoked by them. We need to be prepared for the outbreak of war."

"you're right."

Tsunade thought about it, nodded, and stopped talking.

Regardless of whether there is something fishy going on, now that the situation has come to this point, all the village can do is to be prepared for any response, including war!

The Sand Village has become too arrogant, and Konoha cannot tolerate this.

Konoha will not initiate foreign wars, but that doesn't mean that if you slap me, I will endure it and then turn the other cheek to you.

Konoha during this period will not show weakness to the outside world.

Nor would they make the kind of humiliating concessions they did after the Third Shinobi World War.

"Cough cough!!"

The Third Hokage, who was sitting on the first seat, coughed and put down his pipe: "Tsunade and Koharu's analysis are both reasonable, but the fat man is right in one thing, that is, the village must be prepared to deal with everything."

"Everyone, war could break out at any time. Please prepare for the worst in all departments. Whether it is a misunderstanding or an escalation of provocation, everything depends on the actions of the Sand Village."

If there is a misunderstanding, the Sand Village will definitely remain calm, and if Konoha can maintain a certain level of patience, the situation will stabilize.

If the Sand Village continues to send more personnel into the Rain Country, in this case, whether it is right or wrong will no longer matter.

Because this means that the Sand Village is going to fight Konoha.

"Select a group of ninjas from the Jounin Squad, including enough medical ninjas, and be ready to leave the village at any time and go to the Rain Country for support."

"The medical department and logistics department must also cooperate well."

War cannot be started just like that. Personnel control and conscription must be prepared in advance. Various logistical supplies and medical supplies must also be prepared in advance, rather than waiting for the war to break out before thinking of solutions.

Only when I had a stomachache did I realize that building a toilet was a bad idea.

"The logistics department will make all preparations." Mitomon En replied.

The Third Hokage glanced at Akimichi Norifuge, who lowered his head and said, "Don't look at me, don't ask me."

"The Medical Department will also prepare the supplies needed for the war, and can dispatch a group of medical ninjas to the Rain Country at any time."

Tsunade spoke on behalf of the medical department.

It is true that the medical system is in the hands of Akimichi Norifuze, but Akimichi Norifuze is just a person who was pushed to the position. In fact, the power of the medical system lies with Tsunade.

One is famous, the other is real.

"Can Princess Tsunade go there in person?"

The jonin squad leader, Sarutobi Matsuda, asked.

When a war breaks out with the Sand Village, a medical ninja of sufficient quality is needed on the front line, and Tsunade happens to be the most suitable candidate.

Those who are familiar with the Sand Village know that the puppet ninjas of the Sand Village are basically experts in using poison. If there is not a medical ninja with strong medical skills and good at preparing medicines, Konoha's sacrifices will reach a terrible level.

"I..." Tsunade hesitated as soon as she said this: "I can't answer you this question now. I will inform you before the village reinforcements go to the battlefield."

Princess Tsunade is unwilling to go to the front line?

Sarutobi Matsuda glanced at the Third Hokage, who took the initiative to take over the topic: "Tsunade, if a war breaks out, I hope you can go to the front line and take charge of the front camp."

"let me consider it."

Tsunade did not give the Third Hokage a clear answer because he had to go back and discuss it with Shizuka.

If Jingyi hadn't reminded her, she would definitely agree to go straight to the front line.

The meeting ended quickly, and Tsunade handed over the task of adjusting supplies in the medical department to Akimichi Norifuge and returned home.

Back home, Tsunade recounted the meeting to Shizuka.

After listening, Jingyi thought for a moment and said, "I feel that the escalation of the conflict is a bit strange. Is someone deliberately guiding it, trying to escalate the conflict between the two villages?"

"I find it strange, too, but what Fatty said makes sense. No matter how the conflict escalates, we must be prepared to face war."

Tsunade had also thought about the question that Jingyi was asking, and even most of the people sitting in the conference room had thought about it, but only Tsunade said it out loud. Jiraiya didn't want to argue with Utane Koharu, and when the others saw that Tsunade had taken the lead, they simply kept the matter to themselves.

Tsunade asked in confusion: "If someone really guided it on purpose, who would it be? The Rock Village or the Rain Village?"

"They are all suspects. If we can't find any evidence, I think the probability of it being Rain Village is higher."

Between the Iwagakure and the Rain Village, Jingyi felt that the Rain Village was more suspicious.

After all, Hanzo of the Salamander is not a particularly easy-going person, otherwise he would not have declared war directly on Konoha, Sand Village, and Iwagakure after the war broke out.
