"Assistant Shimura, why don't you think about it the other way around? The reason why Two Scales never expands the results in one go is to prevent us from directly fighting him and prolonging the war!" Orochimaru said matter-of-factly.
When the sinister intentions of Ōnoki were mentioned, everyone in the conference room became serious.
"But what good does this do to Stone Ninja? After all, our strength is much stronger than Stone Ninja. If the scale of the war is controlled, we can completely rotate. Stone Ninja will only become more exhausted." Utatane Clan asked at this time.
However, Orochimaru shook his head and said, "What Assistant Utatane Clan said makes sense, but the premise is that we have to take the initiative to make him more tired. As for now... although nominally we have not ceased the war and have not given up the conquest of Stone Ninja, in fact Konoha's ninja troops are just waiting for the opponent to attack Kannabi Bridge."
Obviously, the party who is passively beaten is the more "tired".
And after hearing what Orochimaru said, several Jonins from Forest Street also had serious faces, making Sarutobi not dare to look this way.
Konoha has always been unwilling to go shopping with Iwagakure. This is something Forest Street has known for a long time, and Forest Street himself also understands that it is for revenge. It is unreasonable to start a war. After all, Konoha is not strong enough to say that revenge is just revenge. He has to fight for it Kunai, Shuriken with the lives of his companions...
Therefore, Forest Street is just a little worried at most, and will not really put pressure on Hokage Building because of this.
But...
Being said by Orochimaru like this still made the atmosphere awkward.
"Orochimaru..." Sarutobi just called.
Yangyong on the side interrupted at this time, "Ahem, Third, now is Official Jonin Meeting. I suggest you call your job title. Although Uchiha Orochimaru is your student, he is also the monitor of Jonin Commander now, so he should be called "Uchiha Clan monitor"."
Sarutobi:...
Sarutobi glared at the bastard of the Uchiha Clan, and then said, "Uchiha Clan Squad Leader... Agent, you said that Iwagakure's purpose is to pretend to have peace talks, but in fact to slowly bleed out, then what is his ultimate purpose? Iwagakure can't bleed Konoha's blood!"
Orochimaru heard this and smiled slightly - now Sarutobi felt uncomfortable seeing this student, and felt that he was laughing at her.
"I know that everyone is tired of fighting now, and many people no longer want to fight, but the situation of Shinobi World will not change because of our cowardice.
"I can state here that a larger Shinobi World war will definitely break out again for Future in as short as two or three years or as long as seven or eight years. By then, the Kumogakure that is sharpening its knives and the Kirigakure that is waiting to be revived will not be wandering around like this time.
"Either we defeat Iwagakure as soon as possible and take a rest and then challenge; or we can spend time with Iwagakure and be teased by Two Scales with "truce negotiations" and then fight exhausted!"
Orochimaru said that he was very sure, not even speculating at all.
Hearing this, most of the Jonins instinctively resisted, but...
When they looked at the smart people of the Nara Clan, expecting them to refute, they found that Nara Clan and Jonin were all silent - obviously, Nara Luzang had said the same thing before.
And those who agree most with Orochimaru are undoubtedly Akaseki and Ranwu...
After all, they both have expectations for the "next Shinobi World war"!
""Uchiha Clan, squad leader," are these words exaggerated?" Danzo said in a strange tone at this time.
"Oh? When did Assistant Shimura become so optimistic? Root's usual projects don't always apply for approval and funding support on the basis that Shinobi World is about to break out at any time and Konoha is in danger?" Orochimaru asked naturally.
Danzo:...
With this sentence, Danzo completely stopped moving.
Yangyong also said at this time, "Yes! Your internal decision-making at Root is too opaque. It should be announced on Jonin Meeting every month... temporary policies should also be reported to the squad leader Jonin Commander!"
"Ahem, okay, Root is just a subordinate department of Anbu, and usually reports to Anbu." Sarutobi explained for Danzo at this time.
But I don't know if it was an illusion, but Sarutobi always felt that when he said this, Forest Street looked at him with hostility, but when he looked around with feeling, he found that no one was looking at him at all.
"Third, Orochimaru What the squad leader said is not unreasonable. Let's not talk about Kirigakure. It's these Kumogakure...Third Raikage people who have worked so hard. They even killed their own Raikage, as well as our Konoha's greatest Hokage, is it just to maintain peace?" Akaseki took the initiative to speak at this time.
Although in such an occasion, Akaseki's age and only "Jonin"'s rank seem to be a bit understated, but in terms of reputation, "Konoha's Akaseki" has the right to "point and point" at the meeting.
And...
What Akaseki said not only made sense, but also inspired Forest Street Jonin next to him again.
As for Jonin of the Uchiha Clan, although he secretly frowned at "the greatest Hokage", he didn't have the guts to say anything at this time - after all, the people of Forest Street had just helped them get tickets...
"It was brother Kinkaku and Ginkaku who killed Teacher Tobirama, and they cannot be confused with Third Raikage!" Danzo corrected at this time.
However, Yangyong said directly at this time, "Oh? Shimura Danzō, do you think now that only brother Kinkaku and Ginkaku took action with Kinkaku Force? How did I remember at the time that some people said that the top brass of Kumogakure also contributed to the flames? Which side is the lie?"
Danzo:!!!
Who just said you should address me by title? Why do you call me by my first name?
And Yangyong doesn't care whether there are many criminals or not, he will arrest them whenever he sees a "handle"!
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, not only Danzo, Sarutobi, Utatane Clan, but also Torifu Akimichi, who just quit, all looked ugly.
After all, if we continue talking about this topic, we will have to mention "The Death of Second".
Yangyong's question is also heartbreaking - you said at the time how difficult the situation was, how Kumogakure's coup was so powerful, and it seemed like most of the Kumogakure were chasing you... Why are you now saying that Third Raikage has nothing to do with the Kinkaku and Ginkaku rebellion?
So when you left Second Hokage as the queen, did you not work hard enough?
Now Sarutobi cannot be regarded as just the daily life of the Uchiha Clan and Danzo, and he is about to speak...
At this moment, Akaseki spoke first, "Yangyong Clan Elder! Back then, Second took the initiative to cut off the queen and preserved the vitality for us Konoha. It was not for us to seek revenge from Kumogakure and start a war in vain. We are not afraid of war and love Second, but we cannot declare war everywhere just for revenge!"
Akaseki directly criticized Clan Elder in public...
Yangyong... Accept it with an open mind.
It's just that Yangyong didn't understand how this turned into "loving Second" and "wanting revenge"... wasn't I just trying to publicize the dark history of "former fire Shadow Guard team"?
And now this is a matter of us not going to Kumogakure to take the initiative to start a war?
Yangyong felt that Akaseki's words were unorganized and not as smart as usual, but seeing that he was giving her a wink, she acted like she was being persuaded.
"Ahem, Akaseki is right, but... now it is not just to avenge the teacher, nor to start a war in vain, but to be on guard against Kumogakure, instead of not making preparations early!" Sarutobi took advantage of the situation and corrected Akaseki's mistake.
When Akaseki heard this, he looked "surprised" and "ashamed".
Sarutobi saw this and nodded with satisfaction.
Danzo:...
Danzo stared at Akaseki coldly at this time. He began to feel that this kid was his strong enemy-he actually knew the tricks of playing with that "monkey"!
Akaseki's few words not only prevented Uchiha Clan from continuing to attract hatred from "former Escort Team", but also logically brought Hiruzen Sarutobi's logic to the line of "Kumogakure harbors evil intentions" and "must make preparations early".
As long as this is recognized, then "force Iwagakure to cease the war as soon as possible" instead of spending time with him, which is what must be done now.
"Whether there will be a war in the future, we can't say anything yet. We Konoha will continue to be the cornerstone of maintaining Shinobi World peace and strive for peace... However, we cannot naively wish for peace, and we must always be prepared to deal with ambitious people!
"Orochimaru... Squad leader, please submit a plan as soon as possible. It is time to change the war on Northwest. We cannot let Iwagakure continue to drag on like this. If necessary... we can attack Land of Earth." Hiruzen Sarutobi announced.
""""""""""hand-type""update"
Orochimaru Seeing that his opinion was accepted, he curled his lips and nodded.
Sarutobi:...
This student is becoming less and less cute...
Utatane Koharu said with some reluctance at this time, "However, some of the adjustments made during the war cannot be canceled now..."
"Yes, especially the training of new ninjas." Sarutobi emphasized.
When mentioning this matter, Lanjun suddenly remembered something, then raised his hand and said, "Ninja Academy, here, I have something to say..."
"Lanjun Jonin It doesn't matter," Hiruzen Sarutobi said immediately.
"Previously, according to the new regulations, students could submit graduation applications independently, regardless of grade, but..." Lanjun paused and said, "If someone in the first grade wants to apply for graduation, do I need to take normal assessments?"
"First grade? Isn't this nonsense? Which kid is it!" Utatane Koharu said dissatisfied after hearing this.
"It's Kakashi Ki... If he is allowed to take the graduation exam, I think he will probably be able to graduate, and he may even be among the best." Lanjun emphasized.
Sarutobi:...
Sarutobi felt uncomfortable again.
It just so happens that he is still a child of the Mu family...
"He is only five years old this year, right?" Hiruzen Sarutobi remembered. White Fang enrolled his son in school very early at that time.
"That's right." Lanjun nodded.
Before Sarutobi could say anything, Uchiha Clan on the side said angrily, "Kakashi Ki? We Uchiha Clan can do it too!"
"That's right, our Uchiha Clan will also apply for early graduation this year..."
"Who are our first graders?"
Obviously, the reason for their anger is strange.
And...
When Orochimaru heard this, his face sank and he said, "This kind of thing is totally unnecessary. Obito won't join in the fun."
