Chapter 286 Konoha's Decision

"Join forces with Kumo Ninja?"

"Use Vulpix and Nanao as bargaining chips!?"

I have to say how bold Shikaku is.

It was really far beyond the expectations of Mito Katohan and Koharu who had transferred to the dormitory. The two people showed a look of surprise, including Danzo on the side, whose eyes couldn't help but condense at that moment, and their gazes gathered together. .

Tsunade, who was in the first position, also raised her eyebrows at this moment.

"Do you know what you're talking about, Shikaku?"

Koharu, who had not spoken before, immediately opened his eyes when he went to bed, looked at Shikaku with a slightly deep look, and spoke in a low voice.

"That's the Cloud Hidden Village, and they still use the Six-Tails and the Seven-Tails as bargaining chips. Once the Cloud Hidden Village successfully obtains it, it will break the balance for us Konoha, no, or even for the entire ninja world. exist."

When he was young, he was a very conservative person, but at that time, it was because the situation in Konoha was indeed very critical, so he had to be prudent, but it was also because over time, he had formed a routine that Danzo was eliminated from Konoha F4. Except for the hawks, the remaining three people still choose to be steady controllers rather than risk takers.

The meaning of Shikaku's words.

Of course you can hear Mito Menyan and Koharu in the dormitory.

But the risks involved are also very high. Given the personalities of the two consultants, it is difficult for them to agree with this plan.

The same goes for Danzo.

However, the reasons for his objection were different from those of the two consultants.

I simply feel that this kind of profit distribution is not good, how can Yunyin Village get two tailed beasts! ?

In Danzo's opinion.

Those should all be their prey in Konoha.

It’s something they Konoha must capture!

"Yes, Shikaku, this approach is still a bit too risky."

Tsunade, who was in charge, also slowly shook her head after pondering for a while. Of course, the execution was possible, but it was too unstable.

This is Tsunade's opinion.

"Godai-sama, Mitomon-sama, and Kaden-sama, this is just a plan. Whether Kumogakure Village can achieve its goal is still unknown. We can ignore Nanao for now, but Rokubi, that belongs to Kirigakure Village. Yes, in this regard, we don’t need to worry at all. We can just push it to Kirigakure Village at the appropriate time. Even for the sake of political stability, Kirigakure Village cannot just let Vulpix go. We just need to push it to Kirigakure Village. We just need to take advantage of this opportunity to recapture the Kyuubi. This is what we in Konoha must focus on and deal with at the moment."

Tsunade and others objected.

Shikaku's opinion was not swayed.

From the perspective of this Konoha think tank, what they must now distinguish is which thing is the most important to them in Konoha.

no doubt!

It is to reclaim the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki.

As long as the Kyuubi can be brought back under the control of his Ninja Village, the remaining problems will be minor problems.

Why is the news of the alliance between Takigakure and Kusagakure so dazzling? Isn’t it just because there’s Menma mixed into it?

But Fan is missing one key factor: Menma.

Just the alliance between Takigakure and Kusagakure will not be taken seriously by Konoha at all. The combined strength of the two ninja villages is at best comparable to that of one Sunagakure village. What is there to worry about?

The Vulpix and Nanao were not owned by their Hidden Leaf Village in the first place.

At most, it should be considered in the second order.

in addition.

Another more important point is that even Takigakure and Kusagakure are weak.

But if his guess is true.

The combination of Six-Tails, Seven-Tails, and Nine-Tails is too violent. Konoha currently does not have the ability to steadily defeat such a combination. Even if you take a step back, Six-Tails and Seven-Tails are not very strong. .

Uzumaki Menma may not be able to completely transform into a tailed beast.

They were able to defeat Konoha and even capture three tailed beasts.

But the price to be paid is bound to be extremely heavy.

By that time, will Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure miss such a good opportunity? ?

The answer is obvious!

Yes.

Shikaku felt that he had to drag Kumogakure and even Kirigakure into the water!

This is not an increased risk.

But risk diversification!

"Even if everything goes too smoothly and allows Kumogakure Village to obtain the Six-Tails and Nanao, it may not be a bad thing, because by that time, not only Kirigakure Village, but Iwagakure Village will definitely not be able to sit idly by and do nothing. On the contrary, we can still There are certainly risks in using such an opportunity to attack Yunyin Village, but for us, this is the best approach and the most successful approach to regaining control of the Nine Tails."

Shikaku added with a serious expression.

It is impossible to make a decision without taking risks, especially if it involves huge changes in the relationship between the country's ninja villages.

If you want to taste the sweetness 100%, it can only be in a dream.

Shikaku is a very realistic person.

After clarifying what the main purpose of your own ninja village should be.

The plan that comes naturally is the most suitable one.

At least, Shikaku himself is confident in this aspect.

When Tsunade, Danzo and the other four people heard Shikaku's last words, they all fell into brief contemplation.

A person, a group, a force.

No matter what you do, you need to have a clear goal. All plans you make must be centered around this goal. You cannot be hesitant, let alone haphazard. Set a goal and then move forward firmly. This may not succeed, but the former will certainly fail.

Especially them Konoha.

As the largest ninja village in the ninja world, even if it loses the Nine-Tails, it can still be called the first in terms of foundation and scale.

Any plans.

They must be very decisive and clear.

Why was Hiruzen Sarutobi called a Shinobi when he was young? After Senju Tobirama died in the battle, he was able to lead Konoha out of the predicament and ushered in Konoha's second peak period, but later on, he led Konoha downhill?

There are of course many reasons, but the most important one is that Hiruzen Sarutobi himself has lost his ‘heart of endurance’!

Become weak, hesitant, stubborn, selfish, and obsessed with power.

The more outstanding he was in his youth.

The more it reflects his stupidity in old age.

When Senju Tobirama chose the successor, he did not choose the wrong person, but he must not have expected that the successor he valued and admired would undergo earth-shaking changes later on.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is like this.

Not to mention Mito Menyan and Koharu who moved to bed.

That is the ultimate in conservatism and weakness.

Danzo would be tough.

However, his toughness often leads to fatal mistakes in many places.

That is, the goal is not clear enough.

Shikaku is the leader of the jounin class in Konoha Hidden Village, especially since the Ino, Deer, and Butterflies clan has long been completely bound to Konoha.

The overall interests of Konoha must be taken into consideration.

Just like Tsunade will make up her mind in this situation, Shikaku, who is extremely resourceful, can see the upcoming crisis in his Ninja Village at a glance.

He must help his ninja village survive this crisis smoothly.

This is his identity and his position is the right thing to do.

As for whether he will be worthy of the Fourth Hokage?

Sorry, Shikaku wouldn't think about this unless Menma was still in Konoha Hidden Village, but since Menma defected last year.

For these things, the most you can do is to condemn yourself at night and figure out what to do with the rest.

The decision of the National Ninja Village.

Not playing house.

Personal feelings cannot be mixed in.

At this point, Shikaku was very clear.

If Konoha is ruined, the three clans will not end well. Their interests have long been deeply bound to Konoha, unless Konoha's top management collectively gets into trouble and wants to make some outrageous moves.

"The main goal?"

Tsunade muttered.

Just a few seconds later, a look of determination appeared on Tsunade's face.

Indeed, Konoha cannot think too much now, they must be clear about their intentions, which is to recover the Nine-Tails.

As long as this can be accomplished successfully.

The rest are not particularly big problems.

Worried about Yunyin Village becoming bigger?

Haha, no matter how strong Cloud Hidden Village is, can it still be stronger than when they were at the peak of Konoha? This is not the first priority at all.

Kyuubi!

That's the top priority.

"Well, this is indeed more reasonable."

Mito Kado and Koharu are just a little pedantic and stubborn, but that doesn't mean they are idiots.

With Shikaku speaking so thoroughly, the two of them could naturally weigh the pros and cons.

Even Danzo nodded subconsciously.

Capture Kyuubi again.

This is what Konoha Hidden Village needs to do most now. Other goals can be set, but they can only be ranked at the back. They are incidental.

"And the sooner the better. If you delay it for a while, it will give Takigakure Village and Kuoyin Village time to integrate. My suggestion is to negotiate with Kumogakure Village immediately, and then allocate their respective tasks. Once confirmed, Take action immediately, and we can even bring the Kirigakure Village together. We don’t necessarily count on how many troops the Kirigakure Village can send. The point is to drag them all in together to reduce risks and increase the success rate.”

Shikaku clearly had a complete plan.

For the whirlpool face numbness.

There are also Takigakure and Kusagakure villages behind.

What is needed is to be destroyed instantly with the force of thunder.

Only in this way can they ensure the interests of Konoha to the greatest extent.

"Well, three elders, do you have any other opinions?"

Tsunade nodded, looked at Danzo, Mito Kadoen, and Koharu who were on one side and said.

She herself had generally agreed with Shikaku's plan in her heart, but she still wanted to seek the opinions of the three elders.

"I agree."

"I agree."

After Mito Kadoyan and Koharu Koharu looked at each other, they each nodded slowly and said.

Danzo didn't hesitate much.

But he obviously had his own intentions.

"In general, I agree, but I would like to add one more thing. Before the official action, we must confirm the specific location of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Menma, and then assign the attack mission. The four of the Kumo Hidden Village The Raikage is a beast that cannot be fed enough. If there is a gap, I am worried that Kumogakure will take away all the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. This is absolutely not allowed!"

Danzo said with a cold snort.

"This is natural. Elder Shimura does not need to worry. The specific location of Uzumaki Menma will be determined first. Shikaku, I will leave this issue to you. Negotiate with Kumogakure Village. Shikaku, let me know when the time comes and let Suzaku be the person in charge of the mission. I will entrust him with full authority to negotiate with Yunyin Village."

Without giving Danzo a chance to continue speaking, Tsunade waved her hand and said directly.

They all already know the basics.

Danzo spoke.

Tsunade could guess what this old guy meant.

Don't you just want to seize the dominance of Uzumaki Menma's capture? Tsunade would not give Danzo such a chance.

This old coin is getting more restless every day.

But the village is stable.

There are also some very special tasks that require Danzo's subordinates to perform, so Tsunade must tolerate Danzo's existence.

But that's all.

In the remaining matters, Tsunade will never allow Danzo to get involved easily. What's more, it's not that Tsunade looks down on Danzo.

It's the strength that Menma is showing now.

Tsunade really didn't think the mere roots could be suppressed.

Jiraiya personally guarantees this.

Even for the smoothness of the plan, Tsunade must take this into her own hands.

"Yes, Lord Godai."

Shikaku also stepped forward immediately and responded loudly.

These are words that were forced back.

Danzo's expression darkened, but he would not let this opportunity go easily.

"Shikaku needs to take charge of the overall situation. It's better not to be too distracted. Besides, my root is better at searching, so let me handle it. Don't worry, I will let the root take full action and we will definitely determine it in the shortest possible time." Uzumaki Menma’s location.”

Danzo said with a stern expression.

This is both a statement and a different kind of warning to Tsunade.

The village now has reached a very dangerous time.

You can no longer restrict my roots.

There were hardly any words that were too concealed, and everyone present could hear them clearly.

"!?"

Seeing that Danzo was still so unyielding.

Tsunade's brows suddenly frowned.

"Well, I also think Genbu is better at this aspect of work. Shikaku's next burden is indeed heavier, so it's better to share some of it."

At this moment, Xiaochun, who was sleeping on the side, continued to speak in agreement.

It also made the corners of Danzo's mouth slightly raise in a very secretive way.

"Tsunade, let the people from the roots assist Shikaku, and then let Kakashi also participate. In this case, the efficiency of the search will be greatly improved. Shikaku only needs to do the final check, Haiichi He also does follow-up work to reduce the induction of false information as much as possible. Jiraiya is also responsible for the final capture task. Currently, the person in the village who is most capable of capturing Uzumaki Menma is still It belongs to Jiraiya.”

However, the pride was only temporary.

Xiaochun went to bed after a slight meal.

Keep speaking the words.

Danzo's smile that had not yet spread froze.

Tsunade's eyebrows immediately rose.

Originally, Tsunade thought that the two advisors would openly stand on Danzo's side to beat her this time.

Now it seems that the two consultants are still the same.

This also made Tsunade breathe a sigh of relief.

"Well, what the elder of the dormitory said makes sense. Shikaku and Haiichi, you two will take charge when the time comes and send someone to inform Jiraiya and Kakashi."

Don't wait for Danzo to say anything.

Tsunade said immediately.
