"Considering the heavy losses you've suffered, Kirigakure only needs to provide two thousand ninja for the coming war."
Natsuki spoke after a moment's thought.
"Agreed."
Terumi Mei accepted without hesitation.
Two thousand ninja was hardly a large force. On the contrary, it was very small.
After all, a war against Kumogakure would require at least six or seven thousand ninja.
In other words, Konoha would send more than five thousand ninja.
"After a week, you can send someone to notify Ao and have him return."

"Mikoto."
Seeing Uchiha Mikoto in the Hokage Office, Natsuki instructed her, "Tell the Hokage Advisors and Hokage Secretaries to gather for a meeting."
"Yes."
Uchiha Mikoto changed her
