Potential threats to the Kingdom of Thunder!
Should we send troops to the Land of Rain?
As the shadow of a village, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that it was time to make his own decision.
"The Kingdom of Rain has not declared war on us, and the Kingdom of Iron has not asked for help. If we send troops now, it will be easy to convince people." At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was at the peak of his strength and body, was far more decisive than when he was old.
I quickly made up my mind.
"As for the Land of Rain, we'll leave it to the ANBU. Danzo is responsible for all affairs, with Shinnosuke assisting."
"Understood!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke replied directly.
"In that case, leave it to me!" Danzo replied coldly, being quite satisfied with Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision.
Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked in the direction of Tsunade and said, "Tsunade, the hospital must be well prepared, especially the logistics reserves."
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements!" Tsunade put her right hand on her hips and said confidently.
Nodding, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "Orochimaru, Jiraiya, you must also be prepared. Once we have a direct war with the Kingdom of Rain, you will serve as the main combat force and follow Elder Danzo to the front line.
.”
In this war, Sarutobi Hiruzen planned to take the opportunity to train his three disciples and prepare them for their future rise to the top.
"Understood!" Jiraiya and Orochimaru responded.
After arranging the affairs of the Kingdom of Rain, Hiruzen Sarutobi began to make arrangements for potential threats to the Kingdom of Thunder.
"Yan, I'll thank you for the hard work in the direction of the Kingdom of Thunder. After the meeting, you will lead 500 ninjas to the border to guard against attacks from Cloud Hidden Village."
"I will keep an eye on them!" Facing the Third Raikage, Mito Kadobu felt a lot of pressure, but he still agreed with a calm face.
"No need to go to such trouble! Leave the Kingdom of Thunder to me!" Just after the two of them finished speaking, Kizaru, who had remained silent, spoke up, "It's just Yunyin Village, I can just watch it by myself."
As soon as Kizaru's words came out, most of the people remained calm. Only the future Sannin, who didn't know the specific record of Kizaru's attack on Kumogakure, all looked at him.
"No, it's too dangerous!" Concerned about Kizaru's safety, Tsunade refused directly.
"Kizaru, don't be impulsive!" Jiraiya said immediately.
Orochimaru didn't speak, not because he didn't care about Junior Brother Kizaru, but because he believed that Teacher Sarutobi would not agree to such a request.
But to his surprise, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not refuse directly, but fell into deep thought.
Not only Sarutobi Hiruzen, but also Kizaru's biological uncle did not speak, but showed an expression of emotion.
Through the expressions of several people present, Orochimaru seemed to understand something, and looked at Kizaru with slight surprise, with curiosity in his eyes.
Indeed, as Orochimaru suspected, regarding Kizaru's proposal, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not worried about the strength of his young apprentice, but was evaluating whether such an arrangement was worth it.
For Kizaru, Sarutobi Hiruzen's initial arrangement was for him to stay in the village with the Sannin, and then use him as a surprise soldier to provide timely support when the situation changed.
Now Kizaru volunteered to go to the border and defend one country by one person, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen a little excited.
With too many cards in his hand, Hiruzen Sarutobi became a little confused when fighting such a rich battle for the first time.
After pondering for a long time, considering that Konoha is not currently in a war, if 500 ninjas are suddenly recruited to go to the border, it will easily cause tension in the village and the daimyo, Sarutobi Hiruzen made a decision!
"Okay! Since you have this confidence, I will leave it to you alone in the Kingdom of Thunder." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Kizaru solemnly and said with appreciation.
"Old man, you are crazy!" Tsunade said a little excitedly as she took a few steps forward.
"Do you want Kizaru to die?" Tsunade, who was very concerned about Kizaru, asked in a fierce tone.
"In the last mission, Kizaru raided Kumogakure Village alone, killing and injuring hundreds of Kumogakure ninjas, destroying a large number of buildings. When retreating, he ambushed the Third Raikage who came back for reinforcements and severely wounded him." Sarutobi
Hiruzen looked at Tsunade in front of him and told Kizaru's glorious achievements.
The excited expression froze, Tsunade was shocked by what Hiruzen Sarutobi said.
With a hesitant look, Tsunade looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then looked at Kizaru behind her.
Facing the eyes of Tsunade who cared about him, Kizaru didn't say anything to show off, but just smiled and nodded.
Not only Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru, who heard the details of Kizaru's achievements for the first time, also looked at Kizaru.
What a monster!
The two of them didn't speak, but the sighs rising in their hearts were roughly the same.
"But last time it was a raid. This time if the Third Raikage leads the main force to invade and Kizaru faces it alone, there will still be danger!" After coming back to his senses, Tsunade raised a new question.
"Sister Tsunade, don't worry! I can fly. If I'm defeated head-on, I will retreat in time." Knowing Tsunade's worries, Kizaru explained aloud.
Yes! You can fly!
Tsunade, who was reminded by Kizaru that caring leads to chaos, also reacted.
Nodding, Tsunade recognized Kizaru's reason, stopped refuting, and returned to her position.
Seeing that Tsunade was no longer questioning, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo next to him again, wanting to see his opinion.
"I agree!" Without any nonsense, Danzo, who originally wanted to make his nephew the Hokage's successor through war, agreed simply.
Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen made the final arrangement.
"Kizaru will be responsible for the direction of the Land of Thunder, and you, En, will stay in the village and be responsible for the overall situation." As he spoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Koharu, another advisor next to Mito Kadoen.
"Xiaochun, the logistics of the village will be left to you."
Without saying anything, Xiaochun went to bed and nodded in agreement.
"This afternoon, I will hold a village meeting to announce this arrangement." Sarutobi Hiruzen finally said.
After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen left his seat, stood up, looked around, and looked at everyone present with a serious and firm expression.
"This time, I'll leave it to you all!"
No one spoke, but everyone looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with serious expressions, their eyes revealing determination and confidence.
At the end of the meeting, everyone except Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen left the Hokage's office and made final preparations.
Kizaru wanted to leave with Tsunade and the others, but Danzo stopped him and asked him to wait at the door.
After waiting for a few minutes, Danzo came out of the office without saying anything. Instead, he took Kizaru to Gen's base.
"In the afternoon meeting, Hiruzen and I have agreed that we will focus on publicizing your deeds of going to the border alone to resist the Kingdom of Thunder." In the secret room of the base, Danzo said aloud, facing Kizaru.
"It's really stressful!" Kizaru said with a smile.
"Once the war breaks out, you will become the hero of the village," Danzo continued. "At that time, no one will be qualified to compete with you for the position of the Fourth Hokage, not even Tsunade!"
Knowing that making himself Hokage was Danzo's current obsession, Kizaru smiled and nodded.
Looking at Kizaru who nodded, Danzo was silent for a moment, then changed the topic and continued: "But remember, life is more important than becoming a hero! I ask you to retreat immediately once you find danger! Retreat caused
Any consequences will be borne by me alone!"
A surprised expression flashed across his face, and Kizaru looked at Danzo in slight surprise.
"You are my nephew. Everything about me and the Shimura family will be inherited by you in the future. You must live a good life for me! Do you understand?" Danzo saw Kizaru's surprise, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and spoke seriously.
said.
"Understood!" Kizaru promised seriously with a hint of warmth in his smile.
Raising his right hand, Danzo reluctantly patted Kizaru's shoulder and continued: "Go back! Have a good rest and set off tomorrow!"
After saying that, Danzo turned around and walked towards the door of the secret room.
"Uncle, over there in the Land of Rain, please be safe!" Kizaru said with concern, looking at Danzo's back.
"Hahaha!"
Hearing Kizaru's concern, Danzo laughed happily and walked out of the secret room with a smile on his face.
