Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

That...Three Hokage-sama... What did Chiba-sama say?

At this time, on the other side, in the Hokage office, the half-kneeling Anbe ninja lightly pursed his lips. After hesitating for a while, he seemed to have finally made up his mind. He raised his head, looked at the Hokage desk in front, and pressed the button. Said impatiently.

Um……

Regarding this, behind Hokage's desk, the third Hokage pondered for a moment, put down the letter paper in his hand, and fell silent.

Three generations of adults...

Looking at the appearance of the third Hokage, Anbu Ninja was slightly taken aback, but the words in his mouth were not spoken after all.

Just now, Master Chiba, who has returned to the village but has not been seen by anyone, sent another message about some matters during the one-month delay. He knew the situation very well, and knew that this was extremely critical information, so he passed the information to the third Hokage immediately, and the current situation came into being.

And because I know a lot, I can't hold back at this time.

After all, the village already needs to postpone the official examination for one month to investigate the forces that are not good for the village. In a sense, it is already saying that the village is helpless. It can only be a strategy of delaying for one month, which will obviously increase the burden on the village.

But at this moment, increasing the burden on the village is tantamount to gambling, betting that the enemy will reveal its flaws first, and if the enemy does not reveal its flaws, the overloaded village will give the enemy more opportunities.

Even, the losses that would have been caused would be multiplied, and may even crush the entire village.

And using this kind of gambling strategy has already shown that the village is somewhat helpless against this force.

There is no effective way for the village to do so, so it can only fight like this.

More importantly, this plan was proposed by Lord Chiba, the patron saint of Konoha, the unparalleled wise man in the ninja world, and even Lord Chiba can only propose such a gambling plan, then, Can only explain one thing.

Although everything is calm on the surface and everything is not that bad, in fact, the village has been pushed to some kind of desperation.

After all, Master Chiba's plan is always the safest, and he never takes risks!

If it weren't for the desperate situation, how could there be such a desperate plan!

If he didn't know anything, he naturally wouldn't ask.

However, at this time, as a person who can be selected as a contact ninja, how can he not ask anything?

Knowing so much, he has almost touched the core of the village's crisis, even if it is absolutely impossible to ask, and even if he asks, he may lose his status as a contact ninja, but he still can't bear it, can't help it. Live to know.

want peace of mind.

It seems that things are not that simple.

However, although he didn't ask any more questions, the Third Hokage didn't seem to intend to hide it, so he picked up the letter paper and handed it to him.

Is this... okay?

And looking at the three generations of Hokage handed to him in front of him, which was obviously for him to see, Anbu Ninja couldn't believe it.

It's okay, it's not too important.

Regarding this, Sandai Hokage shook his head and said.

yes!

And hearing this sound, Anbu Ninja also knew that this was something he, a contact ninja, could know, so he didn't hesitate anymore, straightened up and stood up, leaning forward and taking the letter with both hands.

Let's see.

Regarding this, looking at Anbe Ninja carefully opening the letter paper, he said softly.

Did Chiba know this a long time ago, and still let me delay it for a month?

What the hell does he mean?

Over the years, how many things has he kept from us outside?

At the same time, such a thought flashed through Sandai Hokage's mind.

And this idea is not to doubt Chiba. For Chiba, the child he watched and grew up, although he has entered the dark world in order to contain Uchiha Nobuhiko when he was young, but the third Hokage is still Do not doubt this child.

Nine-Tails Rebellion, lost everything, this child will indeed change, may be colder, more ruthless, and may even take some small detours, but Sandai Hokage believes that this child will never be unfavorable to Konoha .

This is not only to have confidence in Chiba, but also to have confidence in everything Chiba has experienced, and more importantly, to have confidence in the gone woman who has been leading Chiba and lost everything when she was young.

The disciples she teaches will definitely not be detrimental to Konoha.

Only this point, the three generations of Hokage have no doubts.

This...a one-month delay, isn't...doesn't it have a deterrent effect? ​​Wouldn't it show off? This...this...it's impossible! This is...this is Master Chiba's own plan, right? Why...the village...the village...how...

And at this moment, the contact ninja who had read the letter paper couldn't help but screamed, and his words were full of horror.

Do not worry.

Regarding this, the corner of Sandai Hokage's mouth showed a slight smile, and spoke in a soothing tone.

It seems that there is no anxiety because of the one-month delay written on the letter paper, which may not be able to shake the mountain or let the enemy show their feet.

From the looks of it, it seems that relevant preparations have been made.

But, the third Hokage-sama...

In this regard, almost subconsciously, the contact ninja wanted to refute.

No! I'm sorry, I lost my temper!

However, he immediately realized that his behavior was inappropriate, and immediately bowed his head and expressed apology and respect.

It's okay, I understand how you feel right now.

Regarding this, Sandai Hokage shook his head, and didn't care too much, just said.

So, Master Hokage, what should we do now...?

Hearing this sound, Anbu Ninja didn't have any peace of mind because of the calm appearance of the third Hokage, but he was still calm after all, and he didn't show his uneasiness and panic at the moment, suppressing that Unnatural, he said.

It's okay, the news of the one-month delay has been sent out, so let's delay it for one month.

In this regard, the third Hokage said so, obviously insisting on a one-month delay, even though Chiba has already stated that the maximum effect of a one-month delay may not be effective and will increase the load on Konoha. It is insisting on delaying the start of the third trial by one month.

But, the third Hokage-sama...

In this regard, the ninja who contacted Anbu couldn't help but speak again, but between the words, he intended to dissuade the third Hokage.

Especially out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the column The one-month-delayed news will be interpreted by each ninja village, so that whether it is a ninja village that has no idea about Konoha or has an idea, it will take more than one thing. Do your best to restrain the ninjas on your own side, especially Ninja Village who is not good for Konoha. After the message, there was an eagerness on his face.

Master Chiba has already made it very clear that at this time, a one-month delay is nothing but futile.

It's better to start the third trial earlier and end the Chunin exam earlier, it's safer.

Didn't you find out? In fact, what Qianye meant was to let us delay for another month.

However, Sandai Hokage didn't let him finish his sentence and spoke.

continue?

Regarding this, the ninja who contacted Anbu was slightly taken aback.

Yes, first of all, all notifications have been received. If we take it back now and start the Chunin exam in the shortest possible time, then the forces in the dark that are against us will definitely think that we are guilty. At that time, the attack will only come earlier. Secondly. , if all ninja villages stay in the village peacefully because they are afraid of our one-month delay, what will happen to us?

Hearing this, the Third Hokage seemed to be in a pretty good mood, and he didn't feel anxious because of Chiba's message, so he explained patiently at this time.

Stay peacefully in the village?

Regarding this, the Anbu Ninja was taken aback again, and murmured.

This matter is not necessarily a bad thing. Destroy the information and step down.

At this time, Sandai Hokage smiled slightly, waved his hand, and motioned to contact Anbu Ninja to leave.

yes!

As for the words of the Third Hokage, although Anbu Ninja still had many doubts, he did not forget his duty and position after all. After hearing these words, he responded and disappeared in the original land.

I can only say that it is indeed Chiba...

The delay of one month is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

While watching Anbu Ninja leave, Sandai Hokage relaxed and leaned back, and at the same time, a puff of smoke was also spit out from his mouth.

It is impossible to take back the one-month delay. The reason is very simple, the same as what the contact ninja said.

First, in the current situation, if Konoha suffers a sudden attack, and those forces that are unfavorable to Konoha can still not be exposed after a delay of one month, it means that this has been planned for a long time, and it is enough if no attack is launched. Launching an attack, Konoha will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Even if it does not endanger the fundamentals, it will inevitably hurt its vitality, and the pace of recovery will inevitably stagnate or go backwards. The other four major ninja villages will inevitably take advantage of the fire to loot.

Therefore, it cannot be withdrawn now, and the enemy will feel guilty on his side.

Second, in fact, everyone is safe and sound, which is also a great good thing. At least, in the next month, Konoha can calmly consider this matter with peace of mind, and carry out a series of targeted measures. sex arrangement.

Yes, this one-month delay can at least buy Konoha a month of calm time, which can already do a lot of things.

Moreover, in conjunction with Konoha's improvement of treatment in Caoyin Village, if it is done properly, it may have a miraculous effect.

For example, the plan adopted by Haneda Ichiyo was perfectly successful. After annihilating many elite troops of Dainin Village, it can also cause a deterrent effect, and even make other forces and even enemies in the dark think that all this is Konoha's setup, for the purpose of Draw out the existence that is unfavorable to Konoha, and then annihilate it.

And at that time, no matter how appropriate it is to announce that Qianye is still alive, no matter whether it is an enemy or not, everyone will definitely stop.

In this way, Konoha's crisis can be considered resolved.

It is undeniable that Qianye asked for a one-month delay at the beginning, and I am afraid that this has already been thought of.

After all, Qianye's strategy is always to choose the safest one.

instead of...

most adventurous.

Oh! I almost forgot to send out the proposal to approve Caoyin Village.

And thinking of this, Sandai Hokage's eyes flashed, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said softly.

Duh!

Afterwards, Hokage's seal was tapped on another open document.

Although I don't know who you are yet, should I give you the scroll that agrees with Caoyin Village's proposal?

Then, after the seal was knocked on, the Third Hokage took another deep breath of the cigarette, and let it out with a puff.

Then, his gaze fell on the window of Hokage's office.

Wow...

And at this moment, at the entrance where the eyes of the third Hokage settled, amidst the sound of the wind, a black figure leaped onto the window sill, and the black robe slowly fell down, slowly revealing the identity under the hood. , fair and handsome face.

However, he was a handsome and handsome young man with phoenix eyes and powerful eyes.

As expected of the Three Generations of Hokage.

But at this time, the hood was slowly falling back, and the young man with long hair cascading out slowly raised his head, and spoke with surprise in his eyes.

The words are full of emotion.

I noticed you when you entered the enchantment. It's not that I have discovered you now, but that you have been discovered a long time ago.

Regarding this, Sandai Hokage turned his eyes, but he didn't seem to care about this unexpected guest, and while slowly rolling up the document, he said lightly.

Black Robe Silver Moon...

Clothes that have never been seen before, and the Haneda clan, are they considered new?

At the same time, such a thought flashed through his mind.

Is that so... It seems that Konoha's enchantment still has the ability to distinguish between good and evil.

In response to this, this handsome and handsome young man stepped down from the window sill lightly, with a bang, his long blond hair fell down, and in those phoenix eyes, there was a hint of fear.

Obviously, this young man was very afraid of the old man who looked half buried in front of him.

Although he tried his best to show kindness, he still couldn't hide his fear.

Hahaha!

Regarding this, Sandai Hokage suddenly laughed, gently handed out the rolled-up document in his hand, and said, Can I give it to you?

Oh... Barriers naturally cannot distinguish between good and evil, but humans can. He came here in an open and aboveboard way, and he came directly towards the Hokage Building in an open and aboveboard manner. He didn't even hide his body, which shows that You mean no harm.

Then, he added.
