Although Senju Toka gave the First Elder a solution that Wan Yi Miko was unwilling to accept.
But she felt that Miko wouldn't be so foolish as to refuse.
Being a city lord with a bunch of powerful figures above you is a completely different concept from being Daimyō of Small Countries.
In particular, the Daimyō of the Land of Fire is getting old, and the Miko has lost his right to inherit the throne due to a marriage alliance.
Although the next Daimyō is the Miko's older brother, what about the next generation?
Once the favors are used up, the Miko's lineage will become just ordinary nobles!
Upon hearing his name called, the intelligence chief Senju Hōkei, immediately stood up.
After hearing the details, he bowed and accepted the order, saying, "Yes, clan leader!"
The response was given, but the meeting was not yet over.
He then sat down again, took out Scroll from his waist, and began to write on the spot.
Upon hearing the part that required her cooperation, Mito Uzumaki nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.
Although she had some personal motives in making this suggestion.
But it is also the best solution at present.
Otherwise, Senju would only be able to give up the greatest benefit and gain some money.
Once the Miko establishes the country, the heir will be either Nawaki or the Miko and Risa's next child.
In this way, the position of the Clan Leader's Line will be even more secure!
As Toka finished her conversation with her subordinates, the rustling sound of writing filled the hall.
Mito Uzumaki, who was first on the left, spoke up again, suggesting, "First, we can confirm that our numbers must exceed those of Sarutobi. Only in this way can we reduce the loss of the Clan manpower during the great battle."
"As for resources, Xiao Liu's suggestion was also very good; we have the resources to consume them."
"However, I have a question!"
Upon hearing this, the writing immediately stopped.
The others who were listening attentively in the hall also turned their gaze to the red-haired girl on the left.
Noticing everyone's gaze, Mito Uzumaki slightly raised her head and looked at the head of the table opposite her, saying, "What if Sarutobi adds more later? Are we just going to keep adding like this?"
"There has to be a point where you stop losing money, and if this drags on for too long, Sarutobi will definitely see the problem!"
"If new unexpected events occur, it might be outside our plans."
"So I think we need a specific timeframe, just like Sarutobi is preparing for now, we also need to make some predictions."
"Furthermore, too many people will cause a lot of trouble. For example, the Shinobi World is actually quite small, so how to hide so many people is a problem."
"But when the number of people exceeds ten thousand, their minds also become a problem!"
She knew how much depth and power the Senju had accumulated over a thousand years.
But she didn't think that desperately piling up numbers was a good thing.
Although Sarutobi has already placed all his bets, what if new funds or partners emerge later?
Furthermore, what if morale changes later on if people keep joining like this without end?
There is Cursed Seal now, but that doesn't mean it can't be broken!
It's easy to send power out, but difficult to bring it back.
After listening to Mito Uzumaki's words, the head of the table made a sound.
The old man on the right slowly closed his eyes.
They both understood the meaning behind Mito's words.
Especially the last point!
Yes, adding more like this can't go on forever; it could easily cause serious problems.
With such a large number of people, aside from external enemies, who can be sure that there won't be a few exceptionally talented individuals among them?
But what if the genius has a deep-seated hatred for the Senju?
Although the methods they used for training were civilized and not bloody.
But... the human heart is the hardest thing to measure!
It's easy to spread power, but too much of it can easily get out of control.
Was the person wielding the knife injured by the knife?
Isn't this a problem that every Swordsmanship practitioner encounters in the early stages?
Therefore, how much to add, and the subsequent consequences, all require careful consideration.
After a long while, the Second Elder, who had been deep in thought, slowly opened his eyes.
He swept his gaze across the room with his eyes, which were no longer bright.
He looked at Mito drinking tea, Senju Toka lightly tapping the table, and his two subordinates frowning in thought.
"I'll play the bad guy; I don't have many years left to live anyway!"
"If these people harbor resentment, then they may come to the Pure Land to find me."
With this thought in mind, I made up my mind!
Having learned about the Senju Clan and the current situation in the Shinobi World, they calculated the largest possible number for each batch.
The Second Elder's aged voice rang out, "I suggest we plan on a scale of 100,000, and temporarily divide them into six groups, just like Sarutobi."
"However, except for the first batch which could not be changed, the recommendations for the other five batches were to cultivate them according to the maximum capacity available at the time."
"And once each batch is trained, a clear-cut number is immediately assigned to begin a bloody battle with Sarutobi outside the village to wear them down."
"The numbers from the battles, as long as one can become Jonin, then we'll find a suitable opportunity to hide them."
"At first, Sarutobi might be intimidated, but after a while, I believe that monkey will realize our purpose and cooperate!"
"After all, they'll have the same worries as us, and those trained through battle will be the ones who can be truly useful in the final showdown."
"This leaves only one core issue: how to control their numbers so that not too many are exposed, thus scaring the monkeys!"
"We can use this method to continue playing without worrying about the other side finding new partners, and we can also control the total number of players and the scale of future decisive battles."
"Once the number of Jonin and other Ninja secretly amassed is sufficient, or once Sarutobi's critical point is reached, the Clan can launch the final battle."
After speaking, the Second Elder pursed his lips, picked up the teacup on the table, and began to sip his tea.
Sarutobi has already staked all his resources on training 70,000.
Therefore, the bottom line for the Senju plan cannot be lower than this number.
But Mito was right before; if the number of people becomes too large, then people's morale cannot be guaranteed.
Furthermore, supporting so many people under such circumstances would be stressful and difficult to conceal.
I believe the monkeys will eventually realize this.
Therefore, as long as the number of Senju is controlled and their consumption is managed for training, the Monkey King will be happy to see it.
As for the control method, that's quite simple.
The official figures for both sides are roughly equal.
If the Senju side initiates the battle first, Sarutobi, unaware of the Senju's intentions, will surely panic.
They will be unable to resist bringing in people in the shadows to guard against them.
And that's when Senju can start operating!
"Use the advantage first, then the disadvantage, and let everyone wear down the opponent to a standstill."
The war was compounded by intelligence leaks and the village's inaction.
Sarutobi only learned of Senju's true purpose when Senju was at a disadvantage!
In this way, Sarutobi would reduce his numbers and strength for fear that the Senju would actually turn against him, thus maintaining a balance of power between the two sides.
If the balance of power is maintained for a period of time, a certain tacit understanding will be formed.
At that time, the true number of the Senju would be very easy to hide.
Both sides will then use this millstone made of flesh and blood to train their troops.
How could one possibly count the number of corpses hidden in that millstone?
