Chapter 64 (1/2)
Konoha.
A meeting was being held on the highest floor of the Hokage building, the atmosphere in the hall was very heavy, with Hiruzen sitting at the head of the table and Danzo separately in the corner of the room.
”Sunagakure doesn't want to listen to our explanations, they link the loss of the third Kazekage to Konoha, now a large number of their troops, led by the fourth Kazekage, have appeared on the border of the land of Fire, retaliatory measures
are needed.”
The third Kazekage is missing!
This happened about a month ago, but Suna was trying to hide the news and was looking for her Kazekage, but the search was not successful, in the end, they announced that Kazekage was secretly captured or killed by Konojoi and went to war!
A Declaration of war sharply worsened the situation, initially in the Country of Grass invaded only advanced power Iwagakure, they were able at best to produce a few preliminary attacks to destabilize the situation on the border, full-scale war has not yet been addressed.
But Suna immediately started a full-scale war!
”Since the fourth Kazekage made the move in person, perhaps you should also go to the front line, Lord Hokage.”
one of the Elite Jounins cautiously suggested.
Hiruzen was lost in thought.
In fact, he himself would not mind going to the front in person, but the problem is that after the news of a full-scale offensive from Suna spreads, it is impossible to be sure that Kiri and Kumo will not decide to make a move against Konoha.
The Lightning country and the Water Country don't border the Wind Country, so they can't take advantage of this situation to invade the Wind Country, the only way to benefit is to invade the Fire Country.
”I'll go.”
Jiraiya stood up and very seriously looked at Hiruzen: ”Master, you should stay in Konoha to contain the other villages.”
Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya, he is well aware of how strong his student is, but in the end, this is a large-scale invasion from Suna, only Jiraiya will find it extremely difficult to deal with it.
”Danzo, will go with naruto vs. Sasuke due.”
When Danzo was about to say something, Jiraiya suddenly interjected: ”Let senior Danzo take care of possible actions from Kiri, and Minato will go with me, the two of us will definitely be able to control
the situation.”
The relationship Between Jiraiya and Danzo has never been too good, in fact it is not very appropriate to send them to the front together, as a couple to Jiraiya is much better suited to Minato.
”Next is the question of the composition of the front group...”
Hiruzen's gaze swept across the meeting room, where not only the Elite Konoha Junins were present, but also the heads of all the major clans, including Hyuga and Uchiha.
One of the main goals of this meeting was to show the seriousness of the situation to the main Konoha clans and force them to send their forces to the front.
”Since this is a full-scale war, we will act in accordance with The Lord Hokage's plan and decisions.”
the head of the Uchiha Clan said slowly.
The head of the Hyuga Clan sitting next to him was of the same opinion.
The heads of the main clans were well aware of the Hokage's thoughts and the true purpose of the meeting, and they could not stand aside in the event of a full-scale war.
