Chapter 228 Dispute

Qing Cheng led a large group of Anbu ninjas and finally reached the Hokage Building after nearly half an hour. Along the way, they met enthusiastic villagers and three groups of people. Qing Cheng smiled and said, "Dear villagers, live a good life. The village will remember your contributions."

The villagers of Konoha all shouted excitedly, "Five-Daime Hokage, we still want to fight for the village. If there is a war in Konoha, we are willing to be the first to fight and destroy the invading enemies."

When Qing Cheng heard what the villagers said, he smiled and said, "Dear villagers, please rest assured. Those Mist Shadow Ninjas are seeking death if they come to invade our Land of Fire. I will send the Konoha ninja army to eliminate all of them."

There are also some civilian ninjas from Konoha, all of whom are holding up their battle cards, and they all want to fight with the Kirigakage Village."

Kakashi stood on the Hokage building and watched the Fifth Hokage walk there. He was surrounded by people and a large group of villagers, who were cheering.

Kakashi was also shocked, and thought to himself, "Is this the reputation of the Fifth Hokage? It's too powerful. These villagers all support the Fifth Hokage unconditionally. Is it because the Fifth Hokage helped them live a prosperous life?"

Kakashi began to recall again, thinking to himself: "When did it become like this? At the beginning? Or was it because of Sarutobi Hiruzen's political defeat, which was so troublesome? But he is worthy of admiration because he brought a different character to Konoha, that is, the villagers of Konoha became warlike and full of energy and spirit."

In the Hokage's office, a large group of Konoha's elite jonin, as well as the heads of various departments and the clan leaders of the major ninja villages, are all here on standby."

Mitomon En, Tensei Koharu and others, when they heard that the Fifth Hokage was coming, all looked serious and looked in the direction where Qingcheng was coming from.

Hinata Hiashi looked serious and said directly: "If the Fifth Hokage chooses war, our Hyuga family will definitely support us. This is the best time to wash away the humiliation of us and Konoha."

When Mito Kado En heard what Hyuga Hiashi said, he looked worried again and said softly, "Hyuga Hiashi, don't be so arrogant. The war in the ninja world is not that simple. If we go to war with the Kirigakage Village now, then the Raikage Village and the Rockkage Village will definitely join the battle. It may be another ninja war. Our Konoha has just recovered, the economy and finances have just started, and the ninjas of Konoha have just been promoted. If we rashly start a war, our Konoha will definitely become the target of public criticism. It may be one on three or one on four, just like before."

When Utane Koharu heard what Menyan said, she immediately nodded and said directly: "Advisor Menyan is right. If Konoha and Kirigakure start a war, it will be a ninja war if we are not careful. Those mountain barbarians and rock shadow bandits are waiting for our Konoha to consume the combat power, and then catch us off guard. They may even invade our Land of Fire on a large scale."

There was also a group of Konoha's jonin who directly shouted: "What if we don't fight and just let the Mist Shadow Village enter the Land of Fire? We in Konoha Village are not afraid of those Mist Shadow Ninjas who are just eating salted fish."

Some older jonin, with worried faces, said, "Elder Mizutomon En and Elder Koharu are right! The Mist Shadow Village is not scary at all. The scary ones are the Cloud Shadow Village and the Rock Shadow Village. These barbarians and bandits love to take advantage of others' misfortunes. They might sneak attack Konoha and tear the flesh off our Konoha."

The Hokage's office was once again filled with discussion, with some people supporting a war with the Kirigakure Village.

Another group of people support communicating with the Kirigakure first and not starting a ninja war. After all, Konoha's economy and finances have just started. If a war breaks out, Konoha will easily be one-on-three or one-on-four.

Zhang Ben Yihan stood at the front of the office and said directly, "Everyone, please stop arguing. The Fifth Hokage will be here soon. Let's see what he chooses. If the Fifth Hokage chooses to communicate first and sends Konoha ninjas to negotiate with the Mist Shadow Ninjas, we will also have to execute the Fifth Hokage's orders. If the Fifth Hokage chooses to go to war with the Mist Shadow Village, then I, Zhang Ben Yihan, will lead the security department and go to war with the Mist Shadow Village first."

When the Konoha ninjas heard what Zhang Benyi said, they all said, "Minister Zhang Benyi, you are right. Everything has to be decided by the Fifth Hokage."

Kakashi looked at the people who were discussing. They were all silent, waiting for the Fifth Hokage to make the decision. He said sternly, "What you said makes sense, but the Fifth Hokage is the one who makes the decision. So we will discuss it again later. In the end, we all have to listen to the Fifth Hokage's orders."

And Qingcheng, surrounded by the Anbu ninjas, went straight to the Hokage's office."

Kakashi and the others saw that the Fifth Hokage had arrived and shouted, "Five-generation Hokage, sir."
