Chapter 302 Different strategic choices

Then he looked at the contents recorded on the scroll in his hand.

Onoki's old face was full of shock.

"Tsk tsk, knowing that the two major ninja villages were attacking together, he still dared to take the initiative to attack. Haha, it seems that I still underestimated this little guy. The young people nowadays are really scary..."

In the exclusive building of the Tsuchikage in the Hidden Rock Village.

Onoki shook his head with emotion and said.

Kurotsuchi on the side had already pursed his lips tightly, and a very complicated expression could not help but appear on his stubborn face.

A 13-year-old boy?

Defeated the powerful Raikage among the five Kages head-on?

No matter how proud Kurotsuchi was in her heart, she had to admit that this boy was really much, much better than her.

No matter how much Kurotsuchi thought she was a genius, she didn't think she could defeat the Fourth Raikage now. He was a strong man of the same era as her father and became famous in the Third War.

He can still lead the most powerful Cloud Village, and that strength is recognized by the entire ninja world.

Menma did not rely solely on himself, but on the power of the Nine-Tails, but does that matter? The fact is that Menma defeated the Fourth Raikage in a head-on decisive battle.

This is beyond doubt.

"Third-generation sir, what should we do next?"

In the lower position, Shangshui Liuyan Zetsu asked with a serious face. The situation changed too fast, and it was so fast that they had just reacted to the Hidden Cloud Village, and it was completely different again. The previous strategy cannot be said to be completely meaningless, but it is indeed inconsistent with the actual situation.

The personnel who were sent out before, except for Akagi, who stayed at the front line near the Ghost Lantern City to coordinate the Rock Ninjas.

The rest of Huangtu and others have also returned for the time being.

The situation is different.

They must change their Hidden Cloud Village in time.

"What do you think?"

Ohnoki put down the two scrolls in his hand and asked instead of answering.

The current situation is that no matter what they do in the Hidden Rock Village, there seems to be risks. Maintaining a wait-and-see situation seems to be the best and safest choice, but this choice often means that they have voluntarily given up the initiative.

Waiting and watching, that depends on the situation.

In the previous chaos, everyone chose to wait and see appropriately, which was called sitting back and reaping the benefits. Now that the winner has been decided and the situation has been deadlocked, if you still wait and see, you may miss the opportunity.

This is the most undesirable choice for smart people.

After Yan Jue, Huang Tu, and several other senior ninjas who hold important positions in the village looked at each other.

It was Yanze who spoke first again: "The current situation is still uncertain. Although the battle strength of the Cloud Village has been severely damaged, it is still alive. Moreover, this is not a battle between one party alone, but also Konohagakure Village and Mist Village. I think we can lean towards the side of the major ninja villages and send people to contact Konoha first. Uzumaki Menma can lead the Taki ninja to defeat the Cloud ninja. This is indeed exaggerated, but it is absolutely impossible that there is no price to pay. The pressure that needs to be faced next is still very exaggerated. Now is the best time for us to take action."

This attitude is clearly revealed.

It is to plan to take action against Menma.

Huang Tu on the side frowned slightly, and almost at the moment when Yan Zetsu finished speaking, Huang Tu continued, "I think it is better to fulfill the alliance we made with Menma-kun before. Although the casualties in personnel are completely acceptable to the Hidden Cloud Village, as long as the intelligence is accurate, the serious injury of the Fourth Raikage and the loss of the Two-Tails Jinchuriki have already hurt the vitality of the Hidden Cloud Village. It is impossible for the Hidden Cloud Village to raise an army again in a short time. At most, they will send some marginal personnel to hold up the scene. The Hidden Sand Village has not made any moves so far." Jing, the advance troops of the Hidden Mist Village seemed to have stopped when they reached the northeastern border of the Land of Fire. Whether they would really take action was between half and half. Therefore, the only one that could really be sure to take action was the Konoha family. To be honest, from the current battle power comparison, I prefer Menma-kun's side. The destructive power of the three tailed beasts is self-evident. Moreover, Third-generation sir, don't forget that Menma-kun, and Orochimaru-kun have not taken action yet, and there are also forces in the Hidden Grass Village. These are all things we need to pay attention to. "

Two completely opposite opinions.

Iwazetsu represents the 'foundation of the great ninja village'.

And Huangtu trusts the potential of the 'emerging forces' more.

Of course, to be more precise, perhaps it is just a possibility of trusting Menma himself. If Huangtu chose to focus on Menma at the beginning just because his father, the Tsuchikage, was optimistic about him.

Now Huangtu really recognizes Menma himself.

As his father said.

This is really an unprecedented genius.

Looking at Menma like this.

Huang Tu, who had never seen the two peerless heroes of the past, also began to believe that there really was a person in the ninja world who could dominate the entire ninja world with his own strength.

Because Menma is only 13 years old now.

Who can be sure that he will not reach the height of the peerless heroes of the past, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha! ?

And even if we put aside the so-called future possibilities.

Just look at the strength and power shown at the moment.

It is enough for the Hidden Rock Village to pay attention to it.

If they are not careful, the Iwagakure Village might be the one to fall, not to mention the restrictions of the covenant.

Even in the world of ninjas, the covenants between the major ninja villages and powerful gangs are more like a joke. But if they really want to tear them up, they have to look at the specific situation. They cannot be destroyed casually. The benefits and costs do not have to be much higher. The minimum level should be equal exchange, right? Otherwise, what is the meaning and value?

"What do you think?"

Regarding his son and Iwazure's views.

Ohnoki did not comment, and his eyes turned to the other elite ninjas of his own village in the position below.

Gather the wisdom of the crowd.

This can also be regarded as a manifestation of "democratic decision-making".

These ninjas of the Iwagakure Village below are all very experienced in life. Most of them have experienced the three wars, and only one or two are young people who have risen in recent years.

When hearing Ohnoki's question,

After these senior ninjas pondered for a while, they spoke up one after another to express their attitudes.

It should be said that most people still prefer Yan Zetsu's view.

It has been more than 60 years since the establishment of the five major ninja villages. It doesn't seem to be a long time, but the status of the five major ninja villages is equal, and the mark of their strength is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Only the leaders of the five major ninja villages can be called shadows, which is the best proof.

Other ninja villages cannot use the title of "shadow".

This is why the Star Village has always been ridiculed by those who know it.

A ninja village with only a few hundred ninjas at its peak, the leader dares to be called a shadow? Isn't that a big joke?

Based on this point.

Most people are easily influenced by subjective factors when considering problems. For example, among the five major ninja villages now, Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure are okay, so we can put it aside for now, but in fact, Sand Village and Mist Village have weakened to only 60% to 70% of their peak strength.

But in the eyes of the outside world,

No matter how weak the Sand Village and the Mist Village are, they are still much stronger than other ninja villages.

Therefore, when the senior ninjas of the Rock Village consider problems, they will still be limited by such thinking. Even if Menma has proved it with his own strength, it is still a little insufficient for the people of the major ninja villages with "fixed thinking".

As long as it is still the joint posture of Kumogakure, Konoha, and Mist Village, they will still be biased towards these three parties.

This is also a judgment within the "reasonable range".

"Humph, each of you is so conservative, you guys are hopeless, just like you, Ohnoki, you asked me to come back, you are not going to choose such a timid approach, right? Then I am not interested in participating."

And when these senior ninjas had just finished speaking.

Ohnoki on the main seat had not spoken anything yet.

Suddenly.

A not-so-friendly cold snort suddenly sounded from the left side of the office.

Everyone was shocked.

Who dared to speak so arrogantly in this conference room? And he blatantly mocked the Tsuchikage of the Hidden Rock Village?

However, the people below did not notice that neither Ohnoki, Huangtu, Yanze and others showed any surprise.

It was obvious that they were very familiar with the person who spoke.

When everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to follow the direction of the voice.

What came into view was a middle-aged man with a slightly short but very sturdy figure. The purple-red hair and the full beard on the chin were so eye-catching.

This figure was none other than one of the four Kage-level strongmen of the Hidden Rock Village, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki - Lao Zi!

And it was also when he saw Lao Zi's face.

Even those young Iwagakure ninjas who were not very familiar with Lao Zi also showed a look of realization. After all, they could become the quasi-high-level officials of the village. Even if they were not so familiar with Lao Zi and could not recognize people by their voice, they must have remembered Lao Zi's personality, some past, and appearance.

In their huge Iwagakure Village, only Lao Zi had the courage and confidence to confront their own Tsuchikage.

Ohnoki also looked like he had long been accustomed to it.

He looked at Lao Zi indifferently and said, "This is just a normal discussion. After all, it is related to the strategic decision-making issues of the entire ninja village. Everyone should speak freely. If you have any opinions, you can also say them."

If ordinary people confronted him like this.

Ohnoki would have been furious long ago.

Only Lao Zi.

Ohnoki would still look at it differently.

This is not only because Lao Zi is the backbone of the village. In terms of personal strength, he is just inferior to him. It is also because Lao Zi has a very deep qualification in the ninja village. Many times, he is choking him for the benefit of the ninja village, not for his own selfishness. Although he has hardly stayed in the ninja village in these years and has not carried out many tasks, as long as the ninja village has major affairs or even encounters the threat of war, Lao Zi will come back immediately and execute his orders as soon as he, the Tsuchikage, gives an order.

He is the kind of guy who is very direct, "Although I oppose, I will still obey the principled order."

Ohnoki will naturally not say much.

For those who have a big picture view and will protect the interests of the ninja village.

Ohnoki will also be very tolerant.

It should be said that the older generations in the other four great ninja villages seem to be very reasonable, far-sighted and broad-minded.

Only after the F4s in Konoha Hidden Village get older, each one becomes worse than the last.

Compared with old guys like Ohnoki, Chiyo, Ebizo, and Genshi, they are not even a bit worse.

This is really no joke.

Konoha F4 really uses age as the dividing line, a very perfect arc posture. From youth to the prime of life, it is a leader who grows rapidly and shows outstanding and wise posture. Then when age enters a downward slope, it is Each one is more stubborn and stupider than the other.

It can bring Konoha back to its peak from the withered posture in the First Ninja War, or it can bring Konoha at its peak into the abyss step by step.

This is F4 in Konoha Hidden Village.

They are completely different existences from Ohnoki and others.

"My opinion? Is that important? It's you who makes the decision in the end anyway, isn't it? And it seems to me that you have already made up your mind, right?"

Lao Zi snorted softly, looked sideways at Ohnoki on the throne, and said in a disdainful tone.

It was completely because he didn’t regard Onoki as a Kage.

Ohnoki still looked calm.

"How would you know if you don't tell me, I will definitely not listen to your opinion? The situation this time is very different from before. In the three ninja wars, the protagonists have always been our five major ninja villages, but today is different Therefore, no matter how outrageous your opinion is, as long as it is really beneficial to our village, I will definitely adopt it. "

Ohnoki leaned forward slightly, looked at Lao Zi with a faint smile and said.

"Huh? Then my attitude is to take advantage of this opportunity to directly send troops to continue to severely damage Kumogakure Village. During the Third Ninja World War, we and Kumogakure Village had a deadly feud. The Fourth Raikage is definitely We are always thinking about revenge on our Yanyin Village. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as Yunyin Village is weakened, the eastern front of our Yanyin Village will be much safer!"

Lao Zi raised his eyebrows, smiled coldly, and expressed his opinion directly without any hesitation.

‘Severe damage to Yunyin Village? ’

‘Old Zisang is still so bold. ’

‘Isn’t this a very appropriate approach? ’

‘Master Lao Zi is still so direct. ’

The faces of Huang Tu, Yan Jue and others at the bottom also changed slightly, especially the Yan ninjas at the back who subconsciously started to communicate with each other with their eyes.
