Chapter 462: Danzo's strong ambition

This is not a false statement that Shikaku deliberately said to help Tsunade out. This is a real fact. At the local meeting two days ago, Shikaku had already made clear the strategies and attitudes that his ninja village should take in the face of different situations, and Tsunade also expressed her acceptance.

The war machine of Konohagakure has been running to a limited extent.

Including the three or four thousand garrison troops near the front line of Taki no Kuni.

They have all received the latest instructions from the village.

That is to prepare for the first-level war.

Ensure that they can go out at any time and anywhere!

When Danzo heard Shikaku's words, his brows also frowned subconsciously.

"Well, this does make sense. When the attitudes of other ninja villages are unclear, we cannot act on our own."

Utatane Koharu nodded in agreement.

Their Konoha is no longer the Konoha before, and Uzumaki Menma is no longer alone when he just defected. The current situation is completely reversed, and such a thing happened in less than three years.

I have to say that this is really very sad.

It's hard to say for others.

As a woman, Koharu Utane did regret it in her heart. She had known that Menma Uzumaki would be such an extremely special existence.

At the beginning, Menma should have been treated the same as Naruto, and his identity should have been made clear to the whole village, or he should have been brainwashed from a young age as Danzo said. In that case, they might have obtained an extremely powerful weapon.

It can only be said that time and fate are destined.

It is meaningless to complain and pity yourself. It is just in vain.

"Since you have made preparations in advance, it is the best. Let me take charge. Contact the major ninja villages immediately. Don't give the evil Hidden Light Village any chance to breathe."

It can only be said that Danzo is worthy of being the disciple of the second generation Hokage. Although he has only learned a little bit of fur and has not learned the capacity and means of Tobirama at all, he can really say evil XX without hesitation, just like a gene engraved in his bones.

Now the Hidden Light Village led by Uzumaki Menma has been labeled as "evil". From Danzo's perspective, it is a real existence that needs to be purified.

Be it the Nine-Tails.

Be it the remaining tailed beasts.

All of them belong to their Hidden Leaf Village, and all of them belong to Shimura Danzo!

"Are you going to command, Danzo?"

Mito Kado En on the side widened his eyes and looked at Danzo with a touch of surprise and asked.

Since the first Ninja World War, for more than 30 years, none of them have personally been to the front line. The most recent battle was the Nine-Tails Rebellion 15 years ago, but that was because it was in the village.

They will definitely take action.

Now Danzo actually said that he would go to the front line to command himself.

Mito Kado En was naturally shocked, and Utatane Koharu also said with a hint of hesitation: "Is this not appropriate, Danzo?"

They are all old friends for decades. Don't you know how much each of them weighs? Not to mention that he has been away from the battlefield for such a long time. This is not a one-on-one fight, but commanding a large-scale ninja army.

A wrong command is likely to ruin everyone.

"Hmph, is there a more suitable candidate? If Jiraiya is still alive, it's nothing. Who else is there now? Let Tsunade go to the front line in person? After all, she is the Hokage of our Konoha. What's more, Tsunade is also a medical ninja, and conventional combat is not very suitable. So, who else is more suitable besides me? Yan? Xiaochun? Or are you two willing to go to the front line to command?"

Danzo snorted lightly and said with a touch of pride.

Who else but me.

This is Danzo's attitude at the moment.

In his opinion, he is the well-deserved leader of Konoha now. Apart from him, who else is qualified to lead Konoha out of the predicament and return to the peak of their Konohagakure! ?

"This?"

Mitomon Yan and Utatane Kochun also looked at each other. For a while, it seemed that they really couldn't find a more suitable candidate.

Although in the hearts of the two.

Kakashi is also a very reliable one.

It can also be seen from the original work that the two consultants still recognize Kakashi as the next generation of Hokage backup.

It was almost put into practice.

Originally in their opinion.

Kakashi + Shikaku's front-line command.

Then Haiyi is the logistics person in charge.

With the elite members of all the ninjas in the village and the maximum number of troops, it should be a more reasonable configuration.

Now hearing what Danzo said.

The two consultants suddenly felt that their close friend seemed to be more suitable?

"Isn't it too risky for Elder Shimura to fight in person? The current situation is still unknown. In my opinion, there is no need to make a big move for the time being. We just need to set up the formation first, and wait until the attitudes of other ninja villages are clear, and then it may be more appropriate to act?"

Shikaku in the lower position once again proposed.

The command of the front line is completely handed over to Danzo?

What an international joke.

If Danzo is allowed to legitimately hold the supreme power of so many troops, he can imagine how troublesome things will be in the future. Even from Shikaku's perspective, the risks of this battle are very high. , the probability of your own defeat is higher, but you must also consider what happens after winning.

You must not let go of any possibility to be a competent staff officer.

In Shikaku's opinion.

The best succession order for our Hidden Leaf Village is to let Kakashi take over after Tsunade, and let Naruto take over after Kakashi.

This is the order list of the best Hokage candidates to ensure the stability of the Hokage line and the Hidden Leaf Village.

This is also the situation that the ninjas of the Hokage family, the most determined people in the past, most want to see (excluding the succession of their own family members).

For a dark guy like Danzo, he should just stay in the shadow of the village, try his best to play a role that is less than his number, and don't get involved with other things.

"Shikaku-kun, everything must be based on the interests of the village. I hope you can understand this. Of course, the attitude of other ninja villages is to find out clearly, but if other ninja villages don't take action, we Konoha will always stand still! ? Who is Uzumaki Menma? What kind of evil existence is Guangyin Village? Do you need to go into details one by one? What you need most now is to seize the opportunity. This is more important than anything else, Tsunade. You shouldn’t be able to trust me, right?”

Danzo first said the first half of the sentence to Shikaku with a gloomy expression, then turned his head and looked directly at Tsunade on the throne with very sharp eyes, and said in a slightly cold voice.

Naruto's throne.

He could endure it for a while.

But Naruto's power.

He must first grasp a part of it in his own hands. The command of the Ninja Legion is the top priority, and Danzo needs a victory in a war to give himself more prestige. In the past, he has always It's just the root of Konoha. He has always been a subsidiary of Hokage. Today, he will truly step out of the dark underground and become the well-deserved light of Konoha Hidden Village!

Become the leader of everyone in the Hidden Leaf Village.

He must prove that he is the right one, and only he has the qualifications and ability to lead Konoha Hidden Village.

To prove that his mentor's choice decades ago was wrong. He was the one even better than Hiruzen Sarutobi.

This is the ambition that belongs to Danzo, and it is also the obsession that belongs to Danzo.

This is almost a showdown attitude.

With Tsunade's own words of responsibility before, as well as Mito Kaden and Koharu's obviously tacit support for him, Danzo felt that the command this time was a sure thing.

No matter how you say it, you are the elder of Konoha Hidden Village.

It's the Hokage advisor.

He is the one in authority at the root.

He is an elder like Tsunade's 'Uncle Master'.

Unless Tsunade wants to break the rules and fully exercise the Hokage's arbitrary power, Danzo can be sure that Tsunade is not such a person.

It has been more than sixty years since the Hidden Leaf Village was founded. There is only one Kage with such a character, and that is his mentor, the Second Hokage - Senju Tobirama.

'If you can, come and oppose me, Tsunade. ’

Danzo's current attitude is so naive.

Two people looking at each other.

Tsunade can also clearly read the meaning in Danzo's eyes.

Biting the lower lip, slightly rising and falling chest.

Only after a few seconds of silence.

"What did Elder Shimura say? How could I not trust you? The frontline command can naturally be handed over to Elder Shimura. I just hope that Elder Shimura can think twice. If our Konoha family faces Guangyin Village, it will still be It is easy for problems to arise. It is most appropriate to wait until the clear attitude of Yunyin Village, Sand Hidden Village, Iwagakure Village, and Kirigakure Village before taking action. Elder Shimura should also agree with this, right? "

Tsunade took a deep breath, looked at Danzo with a look of determination and said.

'Tsunade-sama. . . ’

Shizune, who was sitting next to her, subconsciously showed a hint of worry when she saw Tsunade-sama making such a decision, but she still swallowed all her words. The Hokage had already given the order, then Others can't say much.

"Well, don't worry, Tsunade, I can sort out the situation, and Shikaku-kun will also go with him when the time comes. I will leave the analysis of the situation to Shikaku-kun."

After seeing that Tsunade agreed to his proposal as he expected, Danzo also showed a look of satisfaction on his gloomy face, smiled and nodded.

"Ah, this is natural. Kakashi, Shikaku, and Haiichi, you will assist Elder Shimura together and ensure the basic safety and interests of our Hidden Leaf Village."

Tsunade nodded, turned to look at Kakashi, Shikaku, and Haiichi on one side, and said with a very solemn tone.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!!"

Kakashi, Haiichi, and Shikaku also responded simultaneously.

"Then it's settled!"

Danzo's single exposed eye also showed a hint of contentment. In his opinion, everything was perfect as he planned.

Next, he only needs to use his supreme power to suppress Menma Uzumaki, bring the Nine Tails and so many tailed beasts back to the Ninja Village, and then he can successfully ascend the throne of Hokage and dominate the entire Ninja World.

Communicate what is needed.

It is the necessary basis for negotiation in the international community.

Konoha is determined to restart the military action against the Hikari Village in order to curb the rise of the Hikari Village. This will certainly be supported by the ninja villages of various countries. A very simple reason is that the remaining few major ninja villages have basically suffered heavy losses of varying degrees. Now there is not even one ninja village with relatively intact combat power.

Let’s not talk about the Hikari Village and the Hikari Village.

Having just experienced a disastrous defeat, the two ninja villages combined are not as big as the previous ninja village.

Especially the former, which was once one of the five major countries, can only send out two or three thousand old, weak and disabled people at most.

Almost all the Hikari Ninjas died in the previous two battles.

If the Hikari Village squeezes to death, it can still send out eight or nine thousand ninjas, but the high-end combat power is also completely destroyed. Only Akagi is left, who is slightly stronger than the elite jonin and barely exists at the quasi-shadow level. It is really hard to say that the Hikari Village is a major ninja village.

Only the Sand Village and the Cloud Village could barely retain a trace of the face of a great country.

And their own shadow.

And a tailed beast.

In such a situation, it seems that only the Hidden Leaf Village can take the lead.

The Hidden Leaf Village began to prepare intensively.

The envoys of the ninja villages of various countries also quickly gathered here at the Hidden Leaf Village.

And at the same time.

The Land of Rain.

In the Hidden Rain Village.

"What did you say!? Join forces with the five great countries to deal with the Hidden Light Village? Madara, are you so timid now?"

Outside the towering tower.

Tendo Pain still stood at the outermost position with a touch of indifference as always.

Konan looked directly at Obito who had just arrived in this ninja village not long ago, and asked with a look of disbelief as he looked at Obito who was disguised as Madara again.

It is already the second half of the year. According to the scheduled plan, the capture plan of the tailed beasts will be launched at the beginning of next year in a few months at the latest. When the time is right, we will even declare war on the entire ninja world.

Now we are actually joining forces with the five major ninja villages! ?

Isn't this crazy?

"This is the most reasonable judgment at present. You should have received the previous intelligence? Now there is the latest news. Uzumaki Menma defeated the third generation Tsuchikage and the combination of the four and five tails alone. At that time, his biological son, whose strength was slightly inferior to that of Ohnoki, was present. This strength is far beyond anyone in the ninja world. If we still adopt the original plan, the difficulty we need to face will be far greater than before, especially when Hidan, Kakuzu, and Deidara are all killed in the battle. You don't want to see the plan fail, right?"

Obito deliberately said in a very low tone.
