Chapter 285 Necessary Decision

In the original book, why Tsunade could always let Sasuke go, apart from Naruto's relationship being the most important reason, another more important reason was that Sasuke did not pose much of a threat to Konoha at that time.

But Menma in this life is different.

During his defection, he had already killed many Konoha ninjas. Even though quite a few of them were from the roots, those people were still Konoha ninjas after all. And now Menma is even more aggressive in taking revenge. , coupled with Ma’s special status.

It was impossible for Tsunade to tolerate it any longer.

As Hokage, she has responsibilities that she needs to fulfill.

Even if she feels sorry for Naruto, Jiraiya, and the Minato couple, this is the stance that Tsunade must have.

She couldn't possibly watch Konoha be destroyed! ?

Even the slightest trend or sign will not be allowed.

Don't be misled by some of the plot scenes in the original work. Tsunade is a real strong woman, and she has no shortage of necessary ruthlessness.

gentle? tolerate?

That's for your own people.

The enemy must give thunderous means. Wouldn't it be better for a so-called "good old man in the ninja world" like Jiraiya to take action directly after finally confirming that Nagato and Konan will never look back?

After all, in the hearts of people like Tsunade, the righteousness of Konoha definitely comes first. There is no doubt about this.

"Yes, I understand, Tsunade-sama!"

After being stunned for a while, Shizune nodded silently.

Then, less than ten minutes passed.

"Da da da da"

Outside the office door.

There was a series of running footsteps.

"Squeak!"

The door that opened directly.

The first three people to step in were Mito Monobu, Koharu Shimaki, and Danzo Shimura. In the back, in addition to Nara Shikaku, the leader of the Jonin class, there were also the intelligence class and the garrison class. Waiting for several important department responsibilities to serve as Jonin.

Yamazaka Haiichi, Akimichi Dingzao, and Zurei and others are all in this.

These people can be regarded as one of the current top leaders of Konoha.

They all hold relatively important real power departments.

"Tsunade, is there something important that calls us here in such a hurry? Is there something wrong with the Kumo ninja or the Kiri ninja?"

After everyone sat down one after another, Mito Menyan asked directly.

There was also a hint of doubt and worry on his face.

After Tsunade gradually took control of the real power of the Ninja Village.

Although it cannot be said that Mito Kado and Koharu have completely become powerless people, the acquisition of information is still not as good as before, and there will be a delay to some extent.

The same goes for Danzo.

Now the roots can no longer go out to perform tasks at will.

"I can't say it doesn't matter at all, but in today's meeting, the person to be discussed is the rebel ninja Uzumaki Menma. Shikaku, please introduce the situation to the three elders and others."

Tsunade said directly with a solemn expression.

"Yes, Lord Godai."

Shikaku nodded, took a step forward, and then briefly and concisely explained the information he had learned from his Ninja Village to Mito Monobu, Koharu, and Danzo who were present. Some guesses with higher probability were said together.

Listen to Shikaku's explanation.

The expressions of everyone present changed.

In particular, the expressions of Danzo, Yan, and Koharu became visibly gloomy.

Until Shikaku finished narrating completely.

"Hmph, I have already said that we cannot continue to let Uzumaki Menma and Orochimaru go. In just one year, that brat has already become a climate and is already threatening our Konoha! "

Danzo just snorted coldly and was the first to complain.

He didn't explain anything directly, and he didn't mention anyone by name, but everyone present could hear the meaning behind his words.

The corners of Tsunade's eyes couldn't help but twitch twice.

But Tsunade still endured it.

Because of this matter, if I must say it, she, the Hokage, does have a responsibility that cannot be shied away from. Don't say anything like saying that after giving the order, Menma will be able to be captured 100%.

This was originally a very direct question of whether the attitude was clear or not.

It is a normal operation for Danzo to use this to attack Tsunade's prestige. It should even be said that he does not do this, that is not Danzo's style.

The target has always been Danzo, who was placed in the position of Hokage.

It is necessary to get Tsunade down so that he can become the next Hokage. Danzo will naturally not let go of such a golden opportunity.

When Shikaku, Haiichi and others in the lower position heard Danzo's words, their expressions changed slightly.

As the die-hard Third Generation faction, they are absolutely unwilling to see Danzo become Hokage. From the original work, Tsunade was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Shikaku strongly supported Kakashi becoming an agent, and even directly took over as the Sixth Generation Hokage. It was obvious that they were really worried about Danzo.

I always feel that this one is not the right leader.

It's just that Danzo is determined to bring down Tsunade, and one person's power is still a little too weak. More importantly, except for himself, no one else will support him, including Mito Kadeni, who has been a close friend for many years. , moved to sleep with Xiaochun and two others.

Almost immediately after Danzo's words of accountability were spoken, before the more radical words that followed were spoken.

"Ahem, okay, there is no point in pursuing the past now. The key point still depends on how to deal with it next. Tsunade, since you called us over so urgently, you must have made a decision in your heart, right?"

Mito Kabuto, who was sitting in the first position on the left, coughed slightly, directly interrupting Danzo's subsequent words, forcibly changing the topic, looking at Tsunade and saying.

Although the two consultants did have some dissatisfaction with Tsunade, after all, Tsunade's blood identity was the most direct bloodline in Konoha Hidden Village, and both consultants still very much recognized Tsunade's Hokage status.

Unless it's a really dangerous problem.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the two advisors will still choose to stand on Tsunade's side, and will not easily let Danzo shake Tsunade's position.

This is a matter of principle.

Xiaochun, who was sleeping on the side, also nodded slowly.

Nothing was said, but everything was left unsaid.

Shikaku, Haiichi and other die-hard Tsunade factions also softened their expressions when they heard and saw the statements of the two advisory elders. In the current high-level political environment of Konoha Hidden Village, as long as the three elders do not unite to suppress Tsunade.

Then Tsunade's position cannot be shaken.

In fact, even if the three of them unite, Tsunade's position as Hokage will still be relatively stable, but in that case, the village will inevitably fall into infinite civil strife. Even if Tsunade wants to give any order, it will be severely punished. The obstruction will even worry some ninjas in the village who don't know the truth.

From this point of view, Mito Kadoen and Kaden Koharu are two people who understand the overall situation, which is really important to Hell Konoha.

Others are relaxed.

Danzo's expression froze.

There was another unknown fire in my heart.

This is not the first time.

Danzo really had the urge to get angry on the spot, but in the end, the Dark of Konoha forced himself to endure it.

The time is wrong, the occasion is wrong.

For the sake of his great cause, he must choose to be patient.

Danzo advised himself inwardly.

"Well, what Elder Mitomon said is that I am indeed determined to completely solve the issue of Uzumaki Menma. As the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Konoha, it is of vital significance and value to us Konoha. , the laissez-faire in the past, this is indeed my personal consideration for the previous Hokage's contribution to the village. I admit that there are inappropriate places, but everything is for the stability of the village. Now the situation is forcing us to The problems caused by Uzumaki Menma must be solved immediately. Even if it is just a single Uzumaki Menma, the threat to Konoha is already increasing day by day, not to mention the problems that are now being extended to Kusagakure Village and Takigakure Village. My It means immediately conducting peace negotiations with the Kumo ninja, sharing all the information learned with the Kumo ninja, and using the Kumo ninja to fight outposts. Since the Kumo ninja who died in the battle are so valued by Kumo Hidden Village, I believe that the fourth generation The Raikage will definitely not be able to bear it, not to mention the six-tailed jinchuriki who may be there, and the nine-tailed jinchuriki, Uzumaki Menma!"

Tsunade took a deep breath, crossed her hands on the table, and spoke word by word.

Attack alone.

That is absolutely impossible.

Let’s not talk about the success rate first.

Just the threat posed by the eager gaze of other ninja villages is something that Konoha Hidden Village cannot bear.

He had never attacked Uzumaki Menma with all his strength before.

This part of the reason is also slightly related.

The environment of the ninja world is too complicated.

Their situation in Konoha has become very dangerous since the Third Ninja War. If they are not careful, it will overturn. Now Konoha has no courage and confidence to challenge the entire ninja world alone.

"Use Kumo Ninja?"

Everyone present could easily understand the deeper meaning of Tsunade's words.

However, the two elders Mito Kadeni and Koharu Koharu, who are conservatives, frowned subconsciously. They did not like this kind of risky behavior very much because the uncertainty was too great and could not be controlled well.

They, Konoha, are bound to have to pay a greater price.

"There are indeed corresponding risks in doing this, but this is the most appropriate approach at the moment. We must also consider the attitude of other ninja villages. If we simply act on our own, we will easily become the target of public criticism. We in Konoha cannot accept it now. That kind of situation.”

Tsunade could also understand the worries of Mito Kadoyan and the two, and continued directly.

"I can still understand this aspect, but the premise is that Yun Ninja will really be so honest and take the lead? If the intelligence we share fails to mobilize Yunyin Village, it will easily put us into a disadvantageous situation. In the situation?"

Mito Monoyan shook his head slightly and replied.

Although the old guys are a little stubborn and seem very stupid in some places, after all, they have lived for decades and witnessed many storms in the ninja world. They can still judge which actions are correct.

But social relations above the ninja world.

This is not a simulation game. Everything can unfold according to the player's wishes. In many cases, accidents are prone to occur.

Now it still involves Yunyin Village.

If the Raikage, who is known as the most violent and unreliable among the Five Shadows, makes a judgment, God knows what they will do?

Not to mention too much, even if they just stay on the sidelines, it is a situation that Konoha cannot accept.

Mito Kadoyan's words made Tsunade frown slightly. She also realized to some extent that her thoughts seemed to be a little taken for granted. In international exchanges, one cannot unilaterally make subjective guesses about the tolerance of other countries. behavior of village forces.

Once a specific situation is used as a fixed basis for judgment, it is easy to make huge deviations and errors.

"In this regard, the probability cannot be said to be 100%, but as long as the intelligence can be confirmed, there is a high probability that the fourth generation Raikage will still take action against Uzumaki Menma, and at least Takigakure behind him. Before The identity is not clear, but it can be found out now that almost all the Kumo ninjas who died in the Kingdom of Spring came from the most elite troops of Kumogakure Village. The leader was named Darui, who was a confidant of the Fourth Raikage. There are even rumors that he is the most powerful candidate for the next Raikage of Kumogakure Village, not to mention that the fourth generation Raikage has been very obsessed with the Nanao of Takigakure Village since a long time ago. This time Putting things together, if we handle it properly, Yunyin Village will most likely be the first to take action."

Shikaku, who was on one side, saw that Tsunade seemed to be a little stuck, so he immediately stepped forward, looked at Mito Kado and Koharu who were sleeping and said solemnly.

"Handling it properly? Shikaku, what do you mean?"

Mitomon Yan leaned forward slightly and asked with a hint of inquiry.

Even though he is far superior to Shikaku in terms of qualifications, status and identity, Mito Monobu still gives a certain degree of respect to this leader of the Nara clan. This is because Shikaku can almost be regarded as a pig now. The joint external spokesperson of the three Ludie clans is also because he serves as Konoha's think tank.

In the past ten years, Shikaku has shown his own value and presence. Danzo has tried to win Shikaku into his roots several times! ?

To those who are capable, and the most loyal.

Mito Monitis will still take it very seriously.

Being able to be accepted as a disciple by the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, and later becoming a high-ranking elder of Konoha, there is no way that Mito Katoen is really a fool.

"That means we, Konoha, are actively seeking cooperation with Kumogakure Village. We can use the Six-Tails or even the Seven-Tails together as bargaining chips to urge Kumogakure Village to join us in taking action against the Takigakure Village and Kusagakure Village Alliance!"

Shikaku took a deep breath and said in a deep voice with eyes as bright as a torch.
