Chapter 472: The Ultimate 'Confidence' of Danzo
The weak have no voice.

All countries in the ninja world are well aware of this, especially the Iwagakure Village, which once had the hope of gaining hegemony over the ninja world.

Be it red soil or rock.

There won't be too many extravagant expectations.

Take back as much as you can. Of course, there must be a bottom line. The specific details will depend on the subsequent arrangements and operations.

However, there is a big premise here, which is that you must be able to defeat Uzumaki Menma and defeat the Hikari Village.

Otherwise, everything is just like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.

"Haha, then we have reached a consensus."

A satisfied smile appeared on Danzo's face.

He didn't think the current scene was inconsistent at all. In his opinion, this was a matter of course, just like the Konoha's collapse plan and the attack of Pain in the original work. This Konoha's Dark Lord really felt that even if Sarutobi Hiruzen died and Tsunade died, Konoha suffered a great loss, but as long as he, Shimura Danzo, ascended the throne, everything would be fine, and no enemy would be a match for their Konoha.

Switch to where Menma is at this moment.

Danzo had the same opinion.

It's just a Nine-Tailed Fox, what's there to be afraid of? I have the power of Wood Release + Sharingan, Nine-Tailed Fox!? It's just a beast in my hand.

Among those present, Danzo was the most optimistic one.

He was even so optimistic that he saw that the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Iwagakure Village were almost willing to obey him. Before this war even began, Danzo was already planning in his mind how to further weaken the two ninja villages.

"Hmph? Your stuff? All the tailed beasts should belong to Konoha. Let me personally correct the mistakes of the past."

Danzo thought fiercely in his heart.

A high-level coalition meeting that went relatively smoothly.

After it was confirmed that the leadership belonged to the Hidden Leaf Village.

There will be even less of a problem with the subsequent strategic arrangements.

Anyway, it's a unified marching route and it's impossible to separate them. Not only do we have to consider the enemy, but we also have to consider the 'allies' themselves. To put it bluntly, the Ninja Alliance is full of various disharmonious factors.

It’s not the kind of coalition in the original book.

Tell the truth.

The Fourth Ninja World War in the original work was actually Obito making the game more difficult for himself. If he hadn't mentioned the Moon Eye Plan and pretended to be cool to draw the common hatred of the five major ninja villages, even if the five major ninja villages were given decades, they would not be able to truly unite without any grudges. Aren't there many examples of them besieging the Hidden Leaf Village in the past and then fighting among themselves! ?

Humans have always been similar creatures.

Selfishness is not a derogatory term.

It is an essential attribute of human beings.

It was Obito who used the Moon Eye Project, several tailed beasts, and the name of Uchiha Madara to forcibly remove the barriers between the five major ninja villages. Even if it was only temporary, it was enough to allow the five major ninja villages to truly unite.

If only Obito in the original work was really smart enough.

It is entirely possible to guide the five major ninja villages to be more vigilant and suspicious of each other.

In that case, even if they were forced to unite, it would just be a ridiculous alliance that could collapse at any time.

Just like in this life.

The union of the four major ninja villages is an alliance that seems powerful but is actually full of problems. Marching together is a consideration of safety and interests.

And on this basis.

We also have to configure the formation reasonably. There are seven tailed beasts on the opposite side. If each of them launches a Tailed Beast Ball, no amount of coalition forces can withstand it.

Therefore, they must take this into consideration when allocating combat power and placing formations.

No matter how many forces they sent to deal with the attack from the Sand Village, at least they had to consider the worst possible scenario. What if they really didn't care about the battlefield in the south, sacrificed the forces of the former Grass Village, and then concentrated their forces to destroy their combat power in one go! ?

This is also very possible.

Especially since Konoha judged others by himself, he felt that this was a possibility.

This aspect was handed over to Shikaku and Dodai, two well-known think tanks in the ninja world, to discuss and decide. Specifically, the configuration of the barrier team and the sealing team. The ninja villages in various countries have been studying and sealing the tailed beasts for fifty or sixty years, and all kinds of methods have become relatively mature and complete. Except for the poor guy in the Sand Village, under normal circumstances, if the configuration is reasonable, there is no need for a strong Kage-level strongman to lead the team, and the actions of the tailed beasts can be delayed to some extent.

Of course, this is only a theoretical possibility.

What the actual situation is cannot be predicted in advance.

Anyway, except for Danzo, the arrogant fool, everyone had a serious look on their face. This was a situation that could collapse at any time if one was not careful.

Therefore, both Dodai and Shikaku tried their best to take every detail into consideration. This high-level meeting lasted for several hours before it ended. The three major ninja villages finally reached a consensus on the corresponding military actions, especially regarding Konoha's requirements, basically as long as they were not really excessive.

Under Shikaku's mediation, Danzo reluctantly agreed to everything, including Konoha's subsequent reinforcements and the appearance of Tsunade, the fifth Hokage. The other ninja villages were not very aware of the conflicts within Konohagakure.

At first they firmly believed that this was an arrangement made by Konoha to retain its strength for future actions.

For the sake of the interests of their ninja village, they naturally would not allow Konoha to be so shameless.

"Humph, they are a bunch of greedy and filthy people. They haven't even dealt with the enemy yet, but they are already thinking about plotting against us Konoha. We shouldn't have spared these bastards back then."

After the Fourth Raikage, Dodai, Akagi, and Ganzetsu left.

A gloomy look suddenly appeared on Danzo's face, and his words were full of coldness.

Although Danzo always said that he wanted to prove that he was the best among his mentor's disciples and was more outstanding than Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But in fact, Danzo's ambition hidden deep in his heart is that he wants to prove that his mentor was wrong and that he chose an incorrect successor. It can even be said to be outrageous that the First Hokage's decision to distribute the tailed beasts to other ninja villages was a big mistake in Danzo's view. If the tailed beasts had not been distributed, even the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara would no longer be around.

Other ninja villages are still no match for Konoha.

Can't they still easily gain hegemony over the ninja world?! Danzo has always been brooding over these things, and now he finally has the opportunity to correct these mistakes himself. This time, he will never allow any ninja village to escape from his control.

On the side, Shikaku, Haiyi and Kakashi, who heard Danzo's words, couldn't help but twitch their lips slightly.

What does it mean that others are plotting against us?

Isn't this a reasonable thing to do?
Not to mention, aren't you still intent on plotting against the other side?

This is what is called meeting a worthy opponent. We all come from the same dye vat and are all of the same kind, so there is no need for the eldest brother to criticize the second brother.

Of course, more importantly.

"That's something we'll talk about later. Elder Shimura, the most important thing now is to resolve the issue of the Hidden Light Village. As long as the demands of the two ninja villages are not too excessive, it's better for us in Konoha to agree to them. Besides, the initiative is already in our hands, so don't worry too much about the rest."

Shikaku stepped forward lightly, looked at Danzo with a calm expression and said.

To be honest, it was beyond Shikaku’s judgement.

Their probability of winning this time is less than 30%, and this is based on the fact that the intelligence is indeed biased. Uzumaki Menma is not as strong as the first Hokage, and is still at a level where he can be killed by human wave tactics. It must be at this level of strength that they have a 30% chance of winning. In fact, there is no longer only Uzumaki Menma in the Hidden Light Village, but also the remaining six tailed beast jinchuriki.

Each one is a tricky existence.

Not to mention the monster that came from the Box of Paradise.

If they can defeat the combined forces of the Four-Tail and the Five-Tail.

At the very least, he could overpower the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki on their side, right?
Not to mention that the Hikari Village now has a complete air combat force, as well as a number of elite ninjas wearing the chakra armor exclusive to the Snow Country. The improvement in combat effectiveness is significant.

This does not even take into account the subsequent combat power gap.

Just these things in front of me.

Lu Jiu felt that if he made an optimistic estimate, the chances of winning would be a little over 30%. If he made a pessimistic estimate, then there would only be a slight chance of winning in theory.

How powerful was the first Hokage?

Although Shikaku had never witnessed it with his own eyes, the records in his family were very concise and clear. The fact that he could easily capture the nine tailed beasts was enough to show the strength of the First Hokage. If Menma could really match such a powerful being, what chance would they have of winning! ?
To put it bluntly, this is a huge gamble.

It seems that Uzumaki Menma's personal strength is still at the level of a 'mortal'.

This has to be said to be an extreme irony.

And even so.

They must also truly unite as one and give it their all.

"Well, now is the time when we still need these clowns. We can follow their request for the subsequent reinforcements. However, there is no need to send Tsunade out too early. How can the Hokage of our Konohagakure Village go to the front line so easily? I am enough here. When the time comes, I will personally deal with Menma Uzumaki."

Danzo first nodded, then waved his hand, as if he was completely sure of what was going on, and said this in a very resolute tone.

"Are you here to deal with Uzumaki Menma?"

Lu Jiu seemed to be struck by lightning. Even with Lu Jiu's self-control, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and subconsciously raised his voice to ask back.

Uzumaki Menma, who is that!?
The Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki!
They had previously defeated the combined forces of Jiraiya and Naruto, two sages, and later defeated the Third Tsuchikage, the Four-Tails, and the Five-Tails. Shikaku's original plan required dispatching countless elite jonin, in conjunction with the Sealing Squad, the Barrier Squad, as well as the Fourth Raikage, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and other talents to deal with the situation together.

Now Danzo says he's going to deal with Menma Uzumaki all by himself?

Are you sure this isn't a joke?
At that moment, Lu Jiu suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

Or is it that this elder of his family is so old that he can't even tell the strength of the enemy? Other people's achievements are not exaggerated. There may be some water in it, but it must be based on solid hard power.

The current Menma Uzumaki is not someone that can be dealt with by a single person!

Of course, Shikaku didn't know that there was indeed one person in the coalition who could deal with Menma alone, and that was Might Guy, the blue beast from the Hidden Leaf Village. But at this stage, let alone Shikaku, Might Guy himself probably didn't know that he could be that strong. There were definitely more than just Might Guy and his sons who practiced the Eight Gates Ninjutsu in the Hidden Leaf Village, but they could bring it to a level comparable to the realm of God.

There is only Might Guy.

Because there is no trace.

Without any reference, Might Guy himself had never opened the Eight Gates, because that was the gate that represented death, so naturally he had no way of knowing.

Danzo could clearly sense Shikaku's shock and suspicion, but he didn't care at all. From Danzo's perspective, these were just the misunderstandings of the ignorant people in the village. Once he truly demonstrated his power that was comparable to that of the first generation, they would surely willingly bow down to his outstanding commander.

"Well, you don't need to doubt this. You just need to know that I have enough means to deal with Uzumaki Menma. The rest of those beasts will be left to you to deal with."

Danzo waved his hand gently and said with a hint of pride.

Sharingan and Wood Release.

No matter which power it is, it is the natural enemy of the tailed beasts. Whether it was the first Hokage or Uchiha Madara, they all relied on this power to easily suppress the tailed beasts. Now that he possesses two powers, can't he easily suppress a mere Nine-Tails! ?
Danzo would never consider that the so-called same power, in the hands of different people, are completely two different concepts.

Not to mention his own Sharingan and Wood Release, which are not even half-baked.

can only say.

Sometimes ignorance can really be considered a kind of "courage".

No matter what the truth is.

Danzo really thinks that his Wood Release and Sharingan have the potential to be on par with the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara.

And Shikaku really didn't understand where Danzo's confidence came from.

Logically speaking, someone who was accepted as a disciple by the Second Hokage and later became a high-ranking elder of his own ninja village should not be so self-righteous.

From a common sense perspective.

Danzo should really have his own way, right?

Lu Jiu could only comfort himself in this way in his heart.
