"Hehe, Yue, Shikaku, your analyses are both quite good. [sgu,60, ss]"
Looking at Uchiha Yue kneeling before him, Orochimaru nodded slightly and said, "Alright, we're discussing the attack now, so there's no need to be so serious. Tsuki, Shikaku, find a place to sit down. Since we're discussing the attack, let's exchange ideas and see what suggestions you all have."
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."
Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Uchiha Yue slowly stood up and then sat down opposite Orochimaru along with Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and the others. After everyone was seated, Kushina Uzumaki frowned slightly and said, "Lord Orochimaru, I partially agree with Tsukuyomi's suggestion—that we can't let those guys from Yakunin Village continue to be so arrogant. We've already lost so many ninja on the front lines; we can't just let those Yakunin Village get away with it, can we? But wouldn't it be inappropriate to start a war with Yakunin Village right now?"
Kushina's concerns are quite valid.
As soon as Kushina Uzumaki finished speaking, Minato Namikaze nodded slightly and said, "Tsuki and Shikaku are right. Sunagakure might be using a scheme to weaken Yakunin Village and then seize the Land of Land of Medicine. However, if we go to war with Yakunin Village, it would be like breaking a truce. What if Kumogakure, Kirigakure, and Iwagakure make a move? If we face a situation like World War II, Konoha will be in serious trouble!"
"Yes, Kushina and Minato's concerns are valid."
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru nodded as well, then turned to Uchiha Yue and asked, "Yue, what do you think about breaking the contract?"
"Lord Orochimaru, I have never believed that peace can be discussed in the form of a contract."
Seeing that Orochimaru was testing him again, Uchiha Yue smiled slightly and said, "Contracts can only bind the weak, like those ninja villages that have no strength to fight against our Konoha, so they need contracts to bind us. But we all know the strength of our village, so there's no need to pay attention to what's written in the contract. After all, even if we really broke the contract, would ninja villages like Sunagakure, Kumogakure, Kirigakure, and Iwagakure have the ability to attack our Land of Fire?"
At this, a hint of contempt flashed in Uchiha Yue's eyes, and he continued, "During World War II, the reason why the four ninja villages of Sunagakure, Kumogakure, Kirigakure, and Iwagakure agreed to a truce was because our Konoha was too powerful, leaving them no possibility of counterattack. As long as these four ninja villages have the ability to fight again, they will never sign a truce agreement. Therefore, even if we break the agreement now, those four ninja villages still do not have the ability to attack the Land of Fire, because World War II has only just ended, and they need a period of recuperation!"
"Okay, sure!"
Hearing Uchiha Yue's words, Orochimaru became even more satisfied with Uchiha Yue's views, and the feeling of shared ideals intensified. Then, Orochimaru looked at Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, saying, "Minato, Kushina, you don't see this as clearly as Yue. Just like Yue, even if we had invaded the Land of Land of Medicine and completely destroyed Land of Medicine, the Sunagakure still wouldn't have had the strength to do anything to our village, because they weren't strong enough!"
Orochimaru then abandoned any discussion about breaking the contract and turned his attention to Shikaku Nara, asking, "Shikaku, now that we're formulating a plan to destroy the Land of Medicine, what are our chances of success with the forces on the front lines?"
"Seventy percent!"
Shikaku Nara, true to his role as the brains of Konoha, calmly analyzed the situation almost the instant Orochimaru finished speaking, "Currently, the Yakunin Village is incapable of waging war against us, and the number of ninjas from the Sunagakure who have come to our aid is also small. As long as we have three days to prepare, we have a 70% chance of destroying the Land of Medicine! Moreover, even if we do fail, we will still gain half of the Land of Land of Medicine's territory, meaning we are already in an invincible position!"
"Only..."
At this, a look of struggle flashed in Shikaku Nara's eyes, then he sighed deeply and said, "Alas, if we were to destroy the Land of Medicine, the casualties in our village would probably be enormous!"
"If we can truly eliminate the Land of Medicine and the Yakunin Village, even if there are casualties, it will be worthwhile."
Hearing Shikaku Nara's words, Orochimaru paused for a moment before saying, "Furthermore, I currently possess intelligence. If we can fully utilize the information recorded in this intelligence, we can unite with the Sunagakure to carve up the Land of Medicine's territory. Therefore, Shikaku, you shall now begin formulating the operational plan to annihilate the Land of Medicine!"
"Right now, we only have five days to rest and recuperate!"
"Five years later, we will prepare to destroy the Land of Medicine and divide Land of Medicine territory among ourselves!"
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"
As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, Uchiha Yue, Minato Namikaze, and the others all stood up and nodded heavily to Orochimaru in front of them.
Then, Uchiha Yue waved to Orochimaru in front of him, clearly signaling everyone present to return to their posts and continue their work.
However, just as Uchiha Yue was leaving with Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, he recalled Uchiha Yue's earlier words and suddenly felt a strange sensation. Then, after figuring out what was troubling him, a cold Uchiha Yue appeared in his eyes as he thought to himself, "So, it was Danzo who betrayed my information to the Orochimaru Sunagakure?"
"Using information about the Konoha ninjas as a greeting gift, Danzo has already colluded with those guys from Sunagakure, preparing to divide up the Land of Land of Medicine's territory! So, Orochimaru was just trying to hear our opinions, and the reason he asked me to participate in the discussion was to see if my thoughts were the same as his!"
"Fortunately, I have now successfully passed Orochimaru's test and gained Orochimaru support."
"Otherwise, I might be in danger of losing my life on the front lines! After all, someone like Danzo would definitely betray me when faced with absolute self-interest!"
As he silently thought this to himself, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Uchiha Yue's back. He then took a deep breath to calm his slightly turbulent emotions.
However, just as Uchiha Yue was preparing to return to his camp for a good rest, Minato Namikaze Uchiha Yue appeared in front of him and said, "Tsuki-kun, I was calling you just now, didn't you hear me?"
"Oh?"
Upon seeing Minato Namikaze, Uchiha Yue raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Minato- kun, is there something you need?"
"Um!"
Upon hearing Uchiha Yue's words, Minato Namikaze nodded slightly, then whispered, "Tsuki-kun, come here for a moment, I have some questions for you!"
