Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

After looking at each other, Mizutomon En and Utane Koharu slowly nodded and said.

Danzo didn't hesitate much.

But he obviously had his own intentions.

"Generally speaking, I agree, but I would like to add one more thing. Before we officially take action, we must confirm the exact location of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Menma, and then assign attack tasks. The Fourth Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village is a beast that can never be fed. Once there is a gap, I am worried that the Hidden Cloud Village will directly take the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki away. This is something that cannot be allowed!"

Danzo said with a snort.

"That's natural. Elder Shimura doesn't need to worry. The exact location of Uzumaki Menma will be determined first. Shikaku, I'll leave this aspect to you. As for the negotiations with the Hidden Cloud Village, Shikaku, notify me when the time comes. Let Suzaku be the head of the delegation. I give him full authority to negotiate with the Hidden Cloud Village."

Without giving Danzo a chance to continue speaking, Tsunade waved her hand and spoke directly.

We already know each other inside out.

Danzo opened his mouth.

Tsunade could guess what the old guy meant.

Isn't it just to seize the initiative in capturing Uzumaki Menma? Tsunade will not give Danzo such an opportunity.

This old coin is becoming more restless day by day.

But the village is stable.

There are also some very special tasks that need to be carried out by the Root under Danzo, which forces Tsunade to tolerate Danzo's existence.

But that's all.

As for the remaining affairs, Tsunade would never allow Danzo to interfere easily. Besides, it was not that Tsunade looked down on Danzo.

But it’s the strength that Menma is showing now.

Tsunade really didn't think that a mere root could suppress it.

Jiraiya personally guaranteed this.

Even if it's just for the smooth progress of the plan, Tsunade must take this into her own hands.

"Yes, Lord Wudai."

Shikaku also immediately stepped forward and responded loudly.

These words were completely forced back.

This made Danzo's expression darker, but he would not let go of this opportunity easily.

"Shikaku needs to take charge of the overall situation. You'd better not be too distracted. Besides, my roots are better at searching, so just leave it to me. Don't worry, I will let my roots do their best and will definitely locate Uzumaki Menma's location in the shortest possible time."

Danzo said with a stern expression.

This is both a statement and a special warning to Tsunade.

The village is now in a very dangerous situation.

You can't continue to restrict my roots.

There was almost no concealment in these words, and everyone present could hear them clearly.

"!?"

It’s great to see that Danzo is still so unyielding.

Tsunade's brows suddenly furrowed.

"Well, I also think that the Root is better at this kind of work. Shikaku's next burden is indeed heavier, so it would be better to share some of it."

At this moment, Utane Koharu, who was sitting on the side, continued to speak in agreement.

It also made Danzo's mouth corners slightly rise secretly.

"Tsunade, let the people of the Root assist Shikaku, and let Kakashi join in as well. This way, the efficiency of the search will be greatly improved. Shikaku only needs to do the final check, and Haiyi will also do the follow-up work to reduce the induction of false information as much as possible. The final task of arresting will also be left to Jiraiya. At present, the person in the village who is most capable of capturing Uzumaki Menma is still Jiraiya."

However, pride is only temporary.

After a slight pause, Koharu Utane paused.

Continue speaking.

Danzo's smile, which had not yet spread, froze in place.

Tsunade's eyebrows immediately raised.

Originally, Tsunade thought that the two advisors would openly stand on Danzo's side this time to criticize her.

It now appears that the two consultants remain the same.

This also made Tsunade feel relieved.

"Well, what Elder Tenshin said makes sense. Shikaku, Haiyi, you two should take charge when the time comes, and send someone to notify Jiraiya and Kakashi."

Without waiting for Danzo to say anything.

Tsunade immediately made the decision.

Chapter 287: Changes in the World

PS: I wish all my fellow book lovers a happy Dragon Boat Festival. I have to be on duty tomorrow and may need to take a day off. Please inform all my fellow book lovers in advance!

That is, because of other tasks before.

Kakashi and Jiraiya are not in the village for the time being, otherwise they would have definitely attended this meeting. Also, because the situation is too urgent, Tsunade cannot wait until they come back to hold a meeting.

If that happens, we will lose the initiative.

The current situation in the ninja world is very complicated. A day or two at night can make a fatal difference. Not to mention Menma, the attitudes of the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Taki Village, the Hidden Iwa Village, and even the Hidden Sand Village are all important issues that Konoha must consider.

"Yes, Lord Godai!"

After hearing the words of their Lord Tsunade, Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi immediately straightened their bodies and responded loudly.

Danzo, who was sitting on the side, had to hold back the words he hadn't said yet, and his expression was as ugly as it could be.

But the overall situation has been decided.

Danzo didn't know what to say.

He could only make a secret decision in his heart that he must seize the opportunity this time. The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was an important bargaining chip for his future competition for Hokage!

Danzo, who had gone completely crazy, didn't even consider whether the Root under his command had the ability to capture Menma.

Or so it seemed to him.

A mere facial numbness is no problem at all. The previous series of failures were just accidents.

The decision made.

Konoha's war machine began to move.

The situation this time is completely different from the previous minor conflicts. Once the conflict escalates, no one can predict or even control what will happen next.

There is no need to say much about them and Yunyin.

Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and Sandagakure may also get involved depending on the situation.

Isn't that a new round of Ninja World War?!

In just one day.

It can be seen that the atmosphere in the entire Konohagakure Village has become heavy.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

The figure that kept flashing across the sky.

One after another, ninjas dressed in the standard uniforms of the Hidden Leaf Village gathered under the Hokage Building. After receiving their tasks, they quickly left for the main entrance of the village.

No special announcement is required.

The moment the experienced people in the village saw this scene, they all realized that another huge wave was coming in the ninja world.

Otherwise, their own ninja village would not have taken such action. You must know that the ninjas who are qualified to wear uniforms are all above the level of Chunin.

In the eyes of a truly strong person, this is certainly nothing.

But for a ninja village.

The Chunin is already considered the backbone of the army.

A mission that requires a large-scale dispatch of Chunins.

Then it must involve other large ninja villages. The first thing the villagers thought of was the Hidden Cloud Village in the northeast.

After all, in the past half month, only the Cloud Ninjas have been engaged in high-intensity friction and collisions with their own Ninja Village on the border.

“Did the conflict escalate?”

"It seems that the Fourth Raikage couldn't help himself again, right?"

"Damn you barbarians from the Land of Thunder!"

"Can't these guys just live a peaceful life?"

"Is a new round of ninja war about to break out?"

"Ah!? No way?"

Similar discussions spread throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village, and everyone was worried about the coming of war.

As the people of Konohagakure Village.

Their lives have always been very comfortable. Over the past few decades, only the Nine-Tails Rebellion 13 years ago and the Konoha Collapse Plan a year ago brought disasters to the people of the Hidden Leaf Village. For the rest of the time, they have been enjoying a truly peaceful life. They are the ones who least want to see war.

Afraid that the war would spread to the Hidden Leaf Village again.

Even if I don’t.

They also worry about the safety of their relatives and friends who become ninjas.

God knows if it will still be intact when I go out in the morning.

In the evening we received news that some were seriously injured, disabled, or even killed in battle.

How could these people not be worried?

“Is the scale of the war going to expand?”

On the left side of Konoha Avenue, the three members of Team 10 who had just returned from a B-level mission were looking at their senior colleagues who were shuttling back and forth in the sky, each with a very solemn expression. Ino also showed a very worried expression and said.

After a year of experience.

Especially after last year's Konoha collapse plan.

These rookies who graduated from the ninja school have truly become what a ninja should be. Their previous childish mentality seems to have disappeared overnight.

They have a deeper understanding of what 'Ninja' means.

The weight of responsibility they have to bear is incredible.

Ninja is not a game.

It is a terrible profession that always walks on the edge of death.

He also knew clearly how destructive a war would be to the ninjas and the ninja villages. He had learned about the history of the Ninja World War in the Ninja School.

But it’s still the same sentence.

It is difficult for people who have not experienced it personally to truly understand the cruelty of war.

It is even more impossible for the new generation who have never truly lost their loved ones or friends to understand what heart-wrenching pain is.

Except for very few special cases.

After all, humans are incapable of true empathy.

Only if you have experienced it yourself can you understand the pain.

This is the same for the new generation of Konohagakure Village.

"Hey? Shikamaru, what do you think?"
