Chapter 452: Eyes (Four Thousand)

call!

Wearing a gray and white robe, with a stooped back, he held a pipe in his hand and blew out the smoke in his chest.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's old eyes swept over the faces of the family heads gathered around him, and then looked up at Toshiro.

"Peace is hard-won. It's better not to fight if you can!"

He never thought that one day he would be looking up at the 'Konoha senior officials' from this angle.

'In the past, I was the one who sat on it and asked other people's opinions. I never thought that one day, I would be the one being questioned! '

But there is no way around this.

That night, when Uchiha Toshiro arranged new personnel appointments, he originally planned to fight for the position of Hokage's assistant.

However, no matter whether it was him or the second generation, they tried their best to talk, but the other party finally refused coldly, and even made it clear in the end that he would not let him, the previous generation Hokage, hold any position.

They originally wanted to continue to be tough and try to fight for it, but the first generation came up with a new solution.

He directly nominated his granddaughter to serve as Hokage's assistant, but he really didn't get any position. If he hadn't been the head of the Sarutobi clan, he wouldn't have been a part of this meeting.

"Well! What Chief Sarutobi said is very reasonable! If we can live in peace, no one wants to start a war!"

Looking at the somewhat gloomy Sandaime, Toshiro did not deny what the other party said. He affirmed first and then said:

"But this time the Kiri ninja came to Fan for no reason, we can't act too weak, otherwise the neighbors might think that we in Konoha are easy to bully!

Moreover, I plan to take advantage of this opportunity to show the prestige of Konoha, so that the major countries in the ninja world know that our Konoha is still strong and is still the largest ninja village in the ninja world! "

"Lord Hokage is right, we should let those guys know how powerful we are in Konoha!"

"Yes! Over the years, we have always tolerated border conflicts. We have long had enough of this birdiness!"

"..."

Toshiro's words were impassioned, and he was only facing a Kiri ninja. Whether it was a family ninja or a civilian, he felt that he could fight him.

"...I...have no objection!"

After looking at the clan leaders who were far away from him and ready to make a move, Sarutobi Hiruzen reluctantly agreed to Toshiro's proposal to start a war.

Not only the clan leaders, but also the civilian jounin who participated in the meeting also agreed to start a war with the Kiri ninja, and simply ignored him, the outdated third generation...

"Since we are going to fight, the number of troops on the front line is only 2,000. Facing the Mist Ninja's nearly three times numerical advantage, it is obvious that we need to continue to increase the number of troops.

I plan to mobilize about 2,000 people to form a force of about 4,000 people. I will personally lead the team to defeat the fog ninja in front of me! "

"Although the number is still a bit small, I am confident that we can directly hit the Mist Ninja's hometown and let them know how powerful we are!"

Since there is going to be a war, it is natural to increase the number of troops. The heads of the families present are not surprised. Instead, they are a little surprised that Toshiro will personally lead the team.

Unexpectedly, the Fifth Generation Eye would actually go into battle in person. This style was completely different from that of the Third Generation Eye.

The Sandaime has not been to the front line in person for many years. He just doesn’t know if he will really hit the home of the Misaki Ninja as the Fifth Daime said. That would be great!

"We, the Aburame clan, will send 5 jounin, plus the chuunin from the clan, to make up for 60 people!"

Aburame Shihui, who has always had no sense of presence, spoke first this time and said on the spot that her family could send 60 ninjas to join the battle this time.

Don't look at the fact that there are only 5 jounin and more than fifty chuunin. This is already all the Aburame clan can use. For this position of ANBU minister, he also worked hard to conquer all the people in the clan who can. All the combat power allocated was used up.

If they continue to increase manpower, they will only be able to send teenagers under the age of 18 to the battlefield.

"We, the Hyuga clan, will send out 10 Jonin this time, and the remaining manpower will make up 100 people..."

As a bloodline of Otsutsuki, the success rate of Hinata's ninjas is obviously higher than that of Aburame. If it weren't for the fact that the clan also has a family separation system, which causes many people in the Hyuga clan to have little interest in becoming ninjas, the number of people would probably be even higher. many.

"We Inuzuka..."

"..."

With these two families taking the lead, the remaining families all reported the number of people from their families participating in the war, and the number of people was basically the limit they could come up with.

As for why, although these people benefited from the night when Toshiro came to power, most of them were just agents. If they didn't perform well, how could they maintain their position under the buttocks.

"I did a rough calculation. The number of people reported by each family leader this time is about 900 in total. The Uchiha clan totals about 1,000 people."

Although these families have a large number of people, there are still relatively few big families like Hinata and Aburame among them.

For most families, having one or two jounin is already very good.

"Although there are many people, it is obviously not enough." Looking at the civilian ninjas present, Toshiro turned his attention to the direction of the Sandaime.

"Let's do it this way, Sarutobi, Shimura, Pig, Deer, Butterfly, your clans have gained a lot of mission ninjas recently. We will recruit another 300 people. If there are not enough people left, we will recruit them from civilian ninjas!"

Naturally, their families have talented people, but if he doesn't fully consume the strength of these families with such a good opportunity, how could he give up so easily.

"Uchiha Toshiro!"

Koharu, who had a hot temper, suddenly jumped up and stood up from behind Sarutobi Hiruzen. His whole face was dark and he glared at Toshiro.

"This is blatant revenge!"

"We are all Konoha ninjas, why do we need 300 more people?"

There are 300 more people. What a joke. There are seven or eight families. If there are 300 more people, all the ninjas in the family will be exhausted.

"With 300 more people, all the teenagers in our clan will be deployed on the battlefield. These people have just graduated from ninja school and cannot adapt to the rhythm of the battlefield!"

"Oh, can't the clansmen who have just graduated from the ninja school adapt to the rhythm of the battlefield?" Looking at Koharu's furious expression when he went to bed, Toshiro smiled coldly.

"If I remember correctly, the age for graduating from ninja school is 12 years old, right! Ask the clan leaders present, how old was the youngest person in their clan who went to the front line in the last war?"

After saying this, Toshiro turned his gaze to the family heads present.

"Yes! The head of the dormitory...the master of the dormitory family, a child of our clan, was sent to the battlefield at the age of eight or nine. At the age of 12...he is already quite old!"

The chief of the Uesugi clan looked at Toshiro, then at Koharu who was sleeping, and spoke in a neutral tone.

He is just a medium-sized family in Konoha. During the last war, the children in the family were graduated when they were only 8 or 9 years old and then sent to the battlefield.

And what about these families?

Even if their children graduate early, they will continue to play 'ninja games' in Konoha for a few years. After that, many of them will be transferred to some very stable places through their connections as elders.

Except for a few of the children in their clan, most of them had died on the battlefield.

"Everyone joined Konoha at about the same time. Over the years, the transferred family has become more and more prosperous and prosperous, making us, small and medium-sized families, very envious!"

The head of the Uesugi clan is quite old, even older than Koharu. In the past, he always felt sad when he saw the members of his family gradually withering away.

Watching the family next door to me, joining Konoha's dormitory family, getting better and better, I always feel a sense of hatred and injustice.

But he couldn't help it. He was not a high-ranking official in Konoha. The village wanted to recruit children from the clan, and there was nothing he could do if they were given big hats one after another.

I also put down my dignity and begged Koharu to sleep with me, but the other person said: These sacrifices are all for Konoha!

He was sent away without mercy.

In the years after the war, whenever he heard about the growth and marriage of the young people from the family next door, and then looked at the lonely clan land in his own family, he could not help but feel jealous.

"And... there is also the Sarutobi clan. In recent years, they have called themselves the largest clan in Konoha, the Fire Release Clan. There are only less than 80 people this time. Are you a little sorry for this title?"

It seemed that just one transfer family was not enough to vent the jealousy that had been pent up in his chest for all these years, so he turned his attention to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was next to Koharu in the transfer station, and the other family patriarchs.

"The combination of Pig, Deer and Butterfly is even more famous in the ninja world. Chief Nara, isn't he going to do more for Konoha?"

After saying these words, the Uesugi clan leader looked at the Fifth Hokage with the corner of his eye. When he saw the smile on his face, the wrinkles on his old face seemed to have calmed down a lot.

'It's done! '

As an old man, the head of the Uesugi family knew that Uchiha and the Sandaime had grievances between them. Since Uchiha had the upper hand this time, how could he not seize this opportunity.

On the one hand, he could get rid of all the resentment he had over the years, and on the other hand, he could get closer to the Hokage. He did it without any burden and was never tired of it.

He knew that as long as the Hokage remembered him, not to mention how many benefits his family would get in Konoha, at least they would not face any difficulties.

If we can take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with the Hokage, then maybe the prosperity of the Tsenda family and their family today will be the future of their own family.

"That's right! The elder who went to the battlefield at the age of twelve is already not too young. Just like what the Uesugi clan leader said, the children in our clan are only 8 or 9 years old when they go to the battlefield. This is already not too young. Got it!"

"That's right, I also heard that last time Uchiha even had a 4-year-old child on the battlefield, it's time for you to help!"

"You can't be at the back every time, let's rush to the front!"

The leader of the Uesugi clan opened his mouth, and everyone present, whether they were civilian ninjas or family ninjas, looked at Koharu, who was sleeping next to him, as well as the Sandaime next to him and the many family heads beside him.

Every expression is very playful, and there is quite a sense that you also have the meaning of today.

In the past, they were the ones who were forced to let the young people in the family go to war, while the Zhuludie and other families were all sitting on the Diaoyutai... This is really a turn of events!

'Um! '

'Clan Chief Uesugi is very discerning! '

'And these people, each of them seems to have been suffering for three generations, and they are adding insult to injury one after another! '

Sitting at the top, taking advantage of the height to have a panoramic view of everyone's expressions below, Toshiro silently praised the speech of the Uesugi clan leader.

What the other party said makes so much sense!

If there is any outstanding talent among the Uesugi clan, it is worth cultivating!

His Uchiha Toshiro's thighs are naturally not something that others can hug if they want. If there is no real material, they will just go back to where they came from.

"Hiruzen!"

Being snatched away by the people around him, Koharu's face flushed red when he went to bed, and he could only turn his eyes for help to the Sandaime.

These bastards are so rude, especially the old guy Uesugi. The entire Uesugi family should have been sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

"Ahem!"

Coughing twice, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the appraising eyes around him, with a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.

These people used to be respectful to him, but they didn't expect that now they are starting to look at him, as well as the people who just expressed their opinions.

Are you planning to draw a clear line with him?

"As far as I know, this war is not a tragic one, the village has not mobilized on a large scale, and those children are still young. In doing so, only Konoha's interests will be damaged."

Using Konoha's interests as an excuse, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued.

"With the strength of the Fifth Hokage, the Mist Ninja is no match at all. I think there will be good news soon. There is no need to let these children sacrifice!"

"If the Godaime feels that there are not enough manpower, although I am old, I still have some strength and can go to the front line to kill the enemy!"

After saying this, the Sandaime looked around the field.

The family heads who had been dancing happily just now lowered their heads involuntarily when they saw the third generation's eyes, not daring to look at him.

They all fell silent.

Except for the determined leader of the Uesugi clan.

Seeing this, Toshiro was not surprised. After all, he had been the Hokage for forty or fifty years, so it was normal for him to have some power.

"Chief Sarutobi plans to go to the front line?"

"I just happened to be still hesitating whether to let Chief Sarutobi go to the front line. Now that you have brought it up...that would be great!"

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's somewhat astonished expression, Toshiro sneered in his heart.

The old guy pretended to be surprised, but he seriously doubted whether he had some crooked ideas in his mind.

Danzo had already had his house stolen once, how could he be so careless!

If he were fighting the Mist Ninja on the front line, if Hiruzen Sarutobi had any thoughts that he shouldn't have, he would give him the ultimate comeback behind him.

Doesn't this become a joke?
