Chapter 47: Reinforcement of the Border

Hokage Building.

Clank!

Shimura Danzo slammed a piece of material on the Hokage's desk.

Pulling out a chair without any hesitation, he sat in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hiruzen, we can't wait any longer. My spy sent a message that the Sand Village is preparing to attack us!"

"Danzo, I have sent Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade to the Land of Rain. With the elite ninjas at the border, there will be no problem for the time being."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and slowly exhaled smoke.

"We need support now. I will negotiate with the ninja clan and win their support.

"The Sand Village has lost the Wind Shadow and the Wind Shadow Guards. Even if they appear tough, they can't cover up their weakness. Order an attack."

Shimura Danzo said very seriously.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook the pipe in his hand and said, "The Land of Rain still has a demigod. You know who was once ambitious and must be guarded against. "

When Shimura Danzo heard Sarutobi Hiruzen mention Hanzo, his eyes moved slightly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out another scroll, on which was the request of the Uchiha clan. They hoped to go to the battlefield and were willing to support Konoha with the whole clan's strength.

Shimura Danzo's face changed, and he said directly, "Impossible, the Security Department and the Hokage need to stay in Konoha to comfort people, maintain order, and prevent sabotage by enemy spies."

Feeling that he could not express the seriousness of the matter by saying this, Shimura Danzo continued to speak.

"Once the Uchiha clan goes to the battlefield, their strength will grow rapidly. War is the catalyst for the Uchiha clan. If the Uchiha clan breaks the taboo, our years of hard work will be wasted."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shimura Danzo and said, "Don't do something else. Now is not the time to do it. Make way for war. "

"What about the Uchiha clan? Don't forget the ambition of the Uchiha clan. They are not trustworthy! "

Sarutobi Hiruzen tilted his head and looked at Shimura Danzo, with a slight warning in his tone, "Danzo, don't say anything that is not conducive to unity. Konoha is a big collective, and Uchiha is also a part of Konoha, our companions."

"I spoke out of turn."

Danzo confirmed Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude. In the upcoming Third Shinobi World War, the Hokage needs the power of the Uchiha clan. It's also straightforward to admit the mistake directly.

"Then let the Uchiha go to the east. The Hidden Mist Village needs someone to defend it. And the Uchiha clan's Sharingan can effectively counterbalance the silent killing technique of the Mist Ninja. "

Shimura Danzo continued to suggest.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shimura Danzo and still didn't give up.

In addition to the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan is most famous for Fire Style.

It just so happens that the main ninjutsu of the Hidden Mist Village is Water Style.

Using Fire Style to fight Water Style is a fool's errand.

However, this time the Third Hokage did not refuse, but added a sentence.

"Let the Hyuga clan go with them."

"The two eye-jutsu families of Konoha are believed to be able to resist the Hidden Mist Village. "

Shimura Danzo got what he wanted and nodded with satisfaction.

Since Uchiha cannot be suppressed, let Uchiha bleed more on the battlefield.

Besides, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Uchiha to go to the battlefield, as he does not have many Sharingan left.

…

Sarutobi Hiruzen invited all the representatives of the ninja clans to hold a small meeting.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, wearing a Hokage robe, walked in, followed by three consultants.

The ninja clan representatives immediately became solemn when they saw the Third Hokage come in.

Shimura Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's high spirits, and the jealousy and unwillingness in his heart became stronger.

"It's so late, and I'm sorry for troubling you all to come here. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked to the upper seat and sat down, then spoke gently, with a hint of apology in his tone.

"Hokage, what is the theme of this meeting? "

The Uchiha representative seemed a little excited.

The Uchiha clan was always suppressed intentionally or unintentionally in Konoha.

This war is an opportunity. If the Uchiha clan can gain enough military merits, I believe they can enter the management of Konoha openly.

Instead of being stuck in the security department.

Sarutobi Hiruzen pinched the pipe in his hand, looked at everyone gently, and said: "I believe everyone knows that the situation in the ninja world has not been stable recently. I hope everyone can support some ninjas. "

After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, the meeting fell into silence.

Everyone knew that they could not refuse Sarutobi Hiruzen because he was the Hokage.

But this did not mean that they would not fight for the interests of their own family.

How much is "some"?

Sarutobi Hiruzen had to make the problem clear.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not surprised to see this situation, but cast his eyes on the Hyuga clan leader.

The three consultants also followed the Hokage's gaze and set their sights on the Hyuga clan leader.

The Hyuga clan leader's scalp numbed, but he finally did not withstand the pressure and spoke.

"The Hyuga clan is willing to support fifty ninjas and ninja supplies. "

The Hyuga clan leader was not strong in the face of the Hokage, because they sent out the Hyuga clan branches.

In the eyes of the main clan, the branches were their slaves, and it was okay to sacrifice the interests of the branches to protect the main clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction. It was good to have a beginning. As long as it was opened, the rest would be easy.

At the same time, he was also satisfied with his own prestige. He didn't say anything, but just a glance to make the Hyuga clan give in.

The Uchiha representative also spoke up, "The Uchiha clan is willing to use all its strength to support Konoha, and I hope that the Hokage will make it happen."

After the Uchiha and Hyuga clans expressed their opinions, the Ino, Shika, and Chou clans also expressed their opinions one after another.

The remaining ninja clans could only sigh and honestly express their willingness to support their clansmen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the ninjas of Konoha who obeyed his orders, and he could not help but feel very satisfied, and said with emotion:

"Everyone, Konoha is lucky to have you."

"But you don't need to worry, this time the ninjas of each clan will be divided into a team, and the captain will be a ninja of the clan. In addition to obeying the orders of the commander-in-chief, they will be commanded by the captain."

"And the positions in this war will not be abolished, and if they are abolished, they will be transferred to the same level."

After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen bowed deeply to them with a serious face, and his tone was sincere and grateful, "I thank you on behalf of the villagers of Konoha."

Seeing this, the ninja representatives in the conference room paused, and their hearts were slightly touched, and their resentment dissipated a little.

Of course, there are also the benefits promised by the Hokage.

"Serving Konoha is what we should do."

"Hokage-sama, you don't have to do this, we are voluntary."

"Konoha will definitely win!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that his retreat had achieved good results, dissipating some of the resentment of the ninja clan, and he was relieved.

Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's performance with disdain in his heart.

"Hiruzen is still too weak. If it were me, I would ask all the ninja clans to gather together and attack the four major ninja villages first."

Shimura Danzo thought of the strength of the first and second generation Hokage, and saw Hiruzen's weakness towards the ninja clan, and made up his mind.

"If it were me, I would definitely do better!"

"Make Konoha great again!"
