Of course it is an opportunity to expand power!

No matter whether there is a result or not, it is great if the power can be expanded a little bit.

But before he could finish his words, someone glared at him, causing him to swallow back the rest of his words.

Of course, it’s not Sarutobi Hiruzen. He rarely had this kind of courage when facing Shimura Danzo.

It's Tsunade.

Although in terms of relationship, Tsunade may have to call Shimura Danzo "uncle master".

But Tsunade has other identities.

The granddaughter of the first generation.

The princess of the Senju clan.

This identity alone is enough to make Shimura Danzo, the disciple of the first generation's younger brother, speechless!

You know, the Thousand Hands only disappeared, but they did not disappear. They voluntarily gave up their surnames and integrated into the village.

It doesn’t mean that their status is low, nor does it mean that they have no contact with each other!

These people hold many key civil service positions in the village.

If Tsunade wants to put some pressure on him, then Danzo Shimura will be in great pain!

Tsk!

Shimura Danzo, who was secretly unhappy, had a gloomy look in his eyes.

Princess Tsunade, you have an indestructible body to protect you. No one can touch you, but the people around you...

Danzo Shimura wants the position of Hokage, so to him, these three disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen are all competitors.

He had no good intentions towards these people.

Although it sounds bad to compete with his nephews for the position, Danzo Shimura believes that these young people are not capable of taking on such important responsibilities. To be the Hokage, he has to choose a ninja like himself who is highly respected and experienced.

Only a ninja who is mature enough can lead Konoha in a better direction!

In Danzo Shimura's opinion, Sarutobi Hiruzen just wasn't sophisticated enough.

The Jinchūriki is an important weapon of the village, yet they let her go to a ninja school, exposed to everyone and without any guard. This is simply stupid!

This kind of weapon should be handed over to its 'root' for training, and it would be best to engrave a seal of 'eradicating the root of tongue trouble' on it as a precaution!

What relatives of Lord Mito? Lord Mito has passed away. The current Konoha should have a new way of doing things!

Sarutobi Hiruzen, don't you see how weak Konoha has become? Do you still fantasize that the kingly methods of the past can lead Konoha?

Konoha is a ninja village, and ninja is a profession that walks in the dark, so a ninja should use all means possible!

Only in this way can Konoha overwhelm the ninja world with its terror!

At this moment, Danzo Shimura had a thousand words he wanted to say to Sarutobi Hiruzen who was sitting on the throne of Hokage.

But under Tsunade's gaze, he could only hold it back.

"You've come at the right time." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shimura Danzo.

He could clearly see the old man's attitude when he was about to come in just now. He was already in a bad mood because of this incident.

He even bumped into the muzzle of his own gun.

Just when his arrogance had faded, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to take action against him.

'Root' is an organization that does dirty work, so just serve as the root of Konoha, provide nourishment to the big tree of Konoha, and do your dirty work.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has long been unhappy with him for always thinking about expanding his power, but he didn't act out because he was concerned about their past friendship and the fact that Danzo Shimura had a lot of dirty secrets from all sides!

But today...

"The Jinchūriki's accident this time was caused by the Hidden Cloud Village. It shouldn't be long before they receive news of the failure of the operation."

"I'm afraid they will take some action by then. As the saying goes, you raise an army for a thousand days but only deploy it for a moment. You take... you let some members of the Root go to the front line to do some reconnaissance work and find out the specific situation over there." Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped talking halfway and finally didn't have the heart to send Shimura Danzo to the front line.

I just took the opportunity to weaken his manpower.

"What about you?" After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's order, Shimura Danzo's already gloomy face became even darker.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was in his prime, full of energy. The power of the Root was not very high to begin with, and if he were to be struck by this blow again...

"I am responsible for preparing the forces and convening a meeting of the jonin to discuss the action against Kumogakure." Sarutobi Hiruzen said seriously.

"... Sarutobi Hiruzen, you will regret this." Although Shimura Danzo's face was distorted, it was wartime now and he couldn't go against the Hokage at this time. He made a harsh statement and accepted the order.

"I am the Hokage." Sarutobi Hiruzen said lightly.

Not a bit of excitement.

He held the position of Hokage and had just won the battle in the Rain Country, beating the Sand Village and the Rain Village to their knees. His reputation was at its peak.

A mere group of Tibetans...

Just stretch out your hand and grab it!

Now is no longer the time when he had just succeeded to the throne and needed his old classmates to act as his black gloves to carry out terrorist politics and be filial children and grandchildren to Uzumaki Mito in order to sit firmly on the throne of Hokage!

He didn't grasp it before, it was just the wrong timing.

just now.

Just right.

boom!

Danzo Shimura slammed the door and left.

Send your subordinates to the front line to carry out the enemy camp exploration mission with a very high mortality rate.

It's basically just suicide, exchanging life for information.

After Shimura Danzo left, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head to Tsunade.

"Tsunade, go gather everyone together for a jonin meeting."

Not all of Sarutobi Hiruzen's previous words were excuses.

The Hidden Cloud Village might very well go to war. In this case, he really needed to convene a meeting of the jonin to discuss countermeasures.

The Hokage is the supreme commander of Konoha, but Konoha is not a place where the Hokage has the final say.

The first generation could have done this, but he didn't.

The second generation, with the help of the prestige of the first generation and his own strength, was able to have the final say, but he used this power very cautiously and basically used it in the research of forbidden techniques.

As the third generation, he had to discuss some important matters with the senior ninjas.

"and many more."

Suddenly, the Third Hokage called out to Tsunade.

"Let the kid named Luo Cheng come as well. I'll allow him to sit in on the class."

Chapter 17 War or Peace?

The ninja's title is very important. Only the jonin are qualified to participate in the jonin conference and use their jonin votes to decide the future of Konoha together with the Hokage.

If you are a Chunin, you can enjoy all the welfare policies of Konoha.

As for the Genin, strictly speaking, he is even obliged to sacrifice for the higher-level ninjas under the orders of his superiors!

For matters such as covering the rear, if a Genin receives an order from a Jonin, he cannot disobey it.

...Strictly speaking, this is the case, but when it comes to actual implementation, it still depends on the situation at the time.

For example, whether this Genin is from the ninja clan, whether he has any special relationship, etc.

It's like an ordinary civilian jonin commanding a genin from the Ino-Shika-Cho clan to die. In theory, you can do this, but if you really dare to do it, there will definitely be countless troubles waiting for you afterwards!

The rights to the ninja title are not absolute, and various comprehensive factors must be taken into consideration.

Among these additional factors, 'personal strength' accounts for the most weight!

Just like Uzumaki Naruto, after returning from training, he is still a Genin in terms of title, but who really dares to treat him as a Genin?

The same situation applies to Luo Cheng.

Since he has reached a level of strength similar to that of the three ninjas, and has experienced the test of the battlefield in the Rain Country and won the title of hero, and is a ninja who can be trusted to a certain extent, then he can be allowed to have contact with them with certain rights.

For example, sitting in on the jonin class meetings!

Of course, if one wants to maintain a stable power structure, some exceptions cannot be made openly, otherwise it will easily lead to the destruction of a thousand-mile dike by an ant hole. If the situation becomes uncontrollable like the Yellow River flooding, it will be troublesome.

Therefore, some additional conditions must be added to make this thing itself difficult to replicate.

For example, this time, the reason Sarutobi Hiruzen gave to Luo Cheng was that Luo Cheng was the main contact person in the Kumogakure assassination of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

It would be better for him to be here for the meeting on this matter.

When he received the notice, Luo Cheng had already treated the injuries of Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato.

Senjutsu Chakra can even enhance medical ninjutsu, making treatment very efficient.

After receiving the notice, Luo Cheng quickened his hands and finished it in three or two minutes.

After thinking about it, Luo Cheng did not entrust the two sleeping people to the sealing team members beside him, but took them one by one to the scene of the Jonin meeting.

Now that the Kumogakure has just carried out an assassination, who knows how many spies they still have in Konoha, where they are hiding, and in what departments.

If he had just rescued these two and then was seized by spies from the Hidden Cloud Village or other hidden villages and stabbed through with a kunai, then all his efforts would have been in vain.

There wasn't much to say about the Jonin meeting, it was just that the Jonins who were still in the village gathered together to discuss the current incident, what countermeasures to take against the Hidden Cloud Village, and how to respond.

Luo Cheng was delayed for a while because of treating Uzumaki Kushina and the other person. When he arrived, most people had already arrived.

The jonin looked at the child who walked in with the two children, whispered to each other for a while, and then said nothing after knowing the general situation.

On the one hand, this is the instruction of the Hokage. I am just listening in. It is just a small matter. There is no need to make a deal with the Hokage for this.

On the other hand, they had also heard of Luo Cheng's strength. Although it was not the version that Tsunade said was comparable to the Three Ninjas, it was just the version that could fight with Hanzo of the Salamander, but this was enough.

Being able to deal with the demigod of the ninja world, everyone believes that it is only a matter of time before Luo Cheng becomes a jonin. They already regard Luo Cheng as half one of their own.

There is no need to embarrass future colleagues.

Otherwise, what happened today might have consequences tomorrow.

Those who were more friendly smiled and nodded to Luo Cheng as a greeting.

Those who are more indifferent just pretend not to see Luo Cheng and don't interact with him, but they don't reject him either.

Two minutes after Luo Cheng entered.

The last ninja with the rank of Jonin in Konoha enters.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just taken over the two children from Luo Cheng and properly placed them, announced the start of the meeting.

The Hyuga, Uchiha, Ino-Shika-cho, Aburame, Inuzuka, all the major ninja clans and the senior ninjas of commoner origin listened attentively to Sarutobi Hiruzen's story.

Before the meeting began, when handing over Uzumaki Kushina, the Third Hokage had a brief exchange with Luo Cheng, and he had obtained more first-hand information about the whole incident from Luo Cheng.

After learning that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki had been attacked, everyone present had a solemn look on their faces; some frowned, while others had faces so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip out of them.

"Fight! The Hidden Cloud Village has done things to this extent, we must fight!" The head of the Uchiha clan stood up and said.

When it was time for everyone to speak and express their positions at the meeting, everyone began to express their opinions!

"I think we still need to be cautious about this matter." The Hyuga clan leader on the side had a slightly different opinion.

He was not opposing just for the sake of opposing.

The Uchiha clan, besides the Sharingan, is most famous in the ninja world for their dazzling shuriken throwing techniques and fire escape techniques.

After the ninja world changed from the Gundam era back to the ordinary kunai and bayonet era, the killing power of shuriken throwing is still considerable.

Konoha's main battlefield before was the Land of Rain, a place where it rains all year round, which greatly weakens the power of Fire Release.

From a rational point of view, Konoha did not send too many Uchiha ninjas to the Rain Country to fight in an environment that was unfavorable to them.

Just like Konoha didn't send many ninjas from the Aburame clan to the Land of Rain, bugs are also weak to rain.

Therefore, the Uchiha clan's strength was well preserved, and after four years of war, not many people were sacrificed.

So they have the confidence to compete with the Hidden Cloud Village again.
