"In order to cover our retreat, Lord Hokage chose to stay alone to fight against Gold and Silver Brothers and his elite troops!"
Konoha base camp.
The impression given by Kagami Uchiha is that he is very reliable and very humble, which is completely different from the lunatics of the Uchiha Clan.
Therefore, when he said this, almost everyone present believed him.
"Hmph, I knew those Kumogakure muscular bastards would do tricks, and I guessed it right."
On the side, Torifu Akimichi said loudly and dissatisfied.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Nara Clan leader, who was Konoha's think tank, said, "Okay, the top priority is to send someone to respond to Lord Hokage. No matter what the outcome is, we can't just sit back and wait for death and do nothing here."
"Yes, send someone quickly to pick up Lord Hokage."
"Yes, Konoha cannot lose Master Second Hokage."
"I also agree..."
It has to be said that more than a dozen Konoha Jonin spoke in agreement one after another, and it can be seen that Tobirama Senju, this Second Hokage, is indeed very popular.
But it's no wonder that when Hashirama Senju was in office, he basically didn't care much about Konoha's trivial matters. His role was almost like a magic needle to fix the sea. With him here, no one who is short-sighted would provoke Konoha, and there would be no big trouble.
Tobirama Senju can solve small things by himself, so in Konoha Ninja's heart, Tobirama Senju is very important.
In particular, Tobirama Senju promoted many Ninja who came from civilian backgrounds. Although the strength of civilian Ninja was not very high because of the absence of Kekkei Genkai, the number of civilian Ninja couldn't stand it, and there were particularly many people who supported Tobirama Senju.
Nowadays, Tobirama Senju is dangerous, so it is naturally impossible for these people to do nothing.
However, just when everyone was excited, Shimura Danzō sighed, and then he glanced at everyone and said, "Is it too late for terror?"
"Danzo, what do you mean? What do you mean it's too late?"
In an instant, someone stood up and questioned Danzo.
Nowadays, although the strength of Danzo is not low, the prestige of Konoha has not yet reached the level of Darkness of the Shinobi World in the original work. At that time, Danzo was in Konohagakure's status is very important. In addition to Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, he will not take it seriously even if it is the two Konoha consultants, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura.
Unfortunately, the current Danzo has not yet reached that level.
No, one, two, and more Konoha Ninjas glared angrily, one of them saying that as long as Danzo couldn't explain clearly, they would swarm up and kill Danzo.
Danzo hated this so much, but he also knew that he did not have the prestige to intimidate these people now, so he had to explain, "Everyone, the teacher said, if he has something to do and cannot come back, let Hiruzen Sarutobi inherits the position of Third Hokage, and I, Koharu and Yan will assist Hiruzen Sarutobi in handling the large and small affairs of Konoha.
Moreover, the reason why I say it is too late to be afraid is not that I don't care about the teacher's life or death, but that everyone knows the strength of Gold and Silver Brothers, and with the elite Ninja troops under their command, the teacher..."
Danzo didn't finish his words in the end.
On the side, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura glanced at each other, both of them had already heard that if Second Hokage really died in the battle, it would be a great thing for them.
First of all, if they can assist Hiruzen Sarutobi, they will definitely enter the senior level of Konoha and have great rights. Having rights means that they will have more resources to cultivate the younger generations of the family.
Secondly, although they are disciples of Tobirama Senju, their talents are far inferior to those of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō, and even inferior to Torifu Akimichi.
As for Kagami Uchiha, if his surname was not Uchiha, he would probably be the most valued disciple of Tobirama Senju. Hokage Position's turn would not be decided by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō as to who would be the first to stand up and take the risk.
Therefore, although they will be sad if Tobirama Senju is really going to die in battle, compared to the benefits in front of them, this sadness will disappear quickly.
Finally, Shimura Danzō stood up and expressed his attitude, which meant that Danzo actually had other ideas in his mind, and as they were from the same sect, standing together would naturally provide them with more security.
Thinking of this, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu immediately echoed Danzo's words and said, "Yes, Danzo is right. Even if we send people to respond now, I'm afraid I'm afraid it's too late, Gold and Silver Brothers is not only powerful, but also possesses five legendary Sage of Six Paths artifacts. The fact that only a few of us Hokage Guard Platoon members have returned is the best proof."
The words echoed by the two people one after another made Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart tremble instantly.
"Yes, now the teacher has designated me as Third Hokage from Konoha. If the teacher doesn't come back, I will be Third Hokage.
But if someone is sent to respond, if the teacher comes back alive, it is still unclear what the future will be like, and whether the position of Third Hokage will still fall on me.
Especially the ability and strength of this guy Danzo are not inferior to mine. If I hadn't been one step ahead of him, I'm afraid the teacher wouldn't have designated me as Third Hokage.
In addition, Torifu and Jing are better than me in terms of strength and wisdom. Torifu was born in the Akimichi Clan and is backed by the three major Ninja families of Ino-Shika-Cho. If there are other families to support them, the future will be very unpredictable.
As for the mirror, you can't underestimate it. Although the teacher doesn't like Uchiha Clan, the strength of the Uchiha Clan is a bit more powerful than the teacher's Senju of the Forest.
If Jing Jing reacts, and with the support of a wealthy family like Uchiha Clan, I have almost no chance of winning." Hiruzen Sarutobi thought quickly in his heart.
After thinking about it, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep look at his classmates, and immediately saw a lot of ambition in their eyes.
Immediately, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up, glanced at everyone, and slowly said, "Everyone, Hiruzen was ordered to be in danger, and the teacher personally designated him as Third Hokage. He deserves it.
But there is an old saying that says a snake cannot fly without a head, and a bird cannot fly without a head. Therefore, Hiruzen can only temporarily stand up and lead everyone.
I think it is too late to send someone to help the teacher now. With the teacher's situation, there is almost no chance of winning against Gold and Silver Brothers.
Therefore, I believe that our top priority is to immediately press the army into the situation and directly attack Kumogakure. Firstly, we can avenge the teacher, and secondly, we can completely cripple Kumogakure who lost Raikage.
Everyone knows the strength of Kumogakure in this war. If this threat is not suppressed, there will probably be another war in the future!"
