When Yakushi Nonou successfully sneaked into Kumogakure and began to gather information, nearly four days had passed since Minato Namikaze assigned them the task.
After all, Konoha is far away from Kumogakure Village, and it took nearly three days just on the road.
Although he had understood this for a long time, Namikaze Minato, who was waiting for news in Konoha, was still almost unable to withstand the pressure.
On the fifth day, Danzo's joint advisors held another high-level meeting. When Yu came to inform Namikaze Minato that the meeting was in the afternoon, Namikaze Minato, who was asking Uchiha Shisui about the contents of the recent Uchiha clan meeting, soon
I understand, I’m afraid the decision to increase troops this time will be unstoppable...
"Thank you for your hard work, Shisui."
After Yu left, Namikaze Minato looked at Uchiha Shisui again and said approvingly: "I heard that you just joined the police force and received praise from many people for your first duty."
"Well done, keep up the hard work..."
Uchiha Shisui half-crouched on the ground. After hearing Namikaze Minato's praise, when he raised his head, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes. However, he wanted to single-handedly change the reputation of the Konoha Guard in the village.
, but still feel that there is a long way to go.
After a brief hesitation, he expressed his concerns.
"Hokage-sama, the current system of the police force is four divisions, which take turns to take over duty.
Although I became the squad leader due to special circumstances, I can rely on my position to supervise the behavior of the team members.
But I'm afraid... my influence will be limited after all..."
Recalling the past few days of duty in the guard force, Uchiha Shisui felt deeply. Most of the Uchiha tribesmen who can join the guard force are talented ninjas with strong strength and high talent. Because of this, many people in the team think of themselves.
Very high.
Whether they are mediating disputes or arresting criminals, most of the team members are extremely tough and inhumane.
After he convinced the crowd with his absolute strength, he quickly forced his team members to change their style of duty. However, this move also attracted strange looks from other teams, so although their team was among the people,
It has established a good reputation, but within Uchiha, it has been met with suspicion.
Vice-captain Uchiha Yashiro even had a conversation with him alone and was very dissatisfied with his gentle and humble style of duty.
He believes that the police force is a law enforcement force, and only harsh methods can deter criminals and at the same time establish the prestige of the police force. It is not easy for Uchiha Shisui to refute this, because in a sense, this is not the case.
It made no sense. But he still had to stick to his guns, because the task Namikaze Minato gave him was to subtly change the police force from within.
Finally achieve the effect of change.
Namikaze Minato could more or less guess that Uchiha Shisui would definitely encounter resistance in the guard team.
He smiled warmly and encouraged: "Don't worry, just go ahead and do it."
"I will be your backing. You just need to work hard to expand your influence and get as many people's recognition of the Guard as possible. If there are people in the Guard who deliberately hinder you, I will liquidate them."
When it came to the reckoning, Namikaze Minato's gentle tone suddenly became a little more majestic.
What he didn't say was that he would not let Uchiha Shisui stop at the position of captain of the guard force. Since the hardliners in the guard force had an absolute advantage, he would support the moderate ones to take over. When will the hardliners in the guard force become more powerful?
If the faction is completely suppressed, then Uchiha's reform has been half successful.
The premise for all this must be that Uchiha Shisui's influence in the police force increases and he is deeply recognized by the people of Konoha.
Uchiha Shisui was refreshed, and Namikaze Minato's gentle smile made him feel great encouragement.
The worries in my heart suddenly disappeared.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
With great confidence, Uchiha Shisui responded and left quickly.
After Shisui left, the office became silent again. Minato Namikaze slowly turned around his seat and looked out the window, looking at the bustling crowds on the streets in the distance.
But I couldn't help but feel worried in my heart.
It seems that it may be difficult to get any news about Yunyin Village for a while. Although Nonoyu is an elite spy ninja, it still takes some time to detect information.
"I'm afraid, it's time to think of another strategy..."
Namikaze Minato sighed softly and murmured to himself.
That afternoon.
The high-level meeting was held as usual, and as expected, Danzo once again urgently proposed a quick end to the war in the Land of Grass, and specifically asked staff officer Nara Shikaku whether the preparation of troop mobilization and logistics supplies had been completed.
Because Namikaze Minato used Nara Shikaku as a shield in the last meeting, and this time, naturally, there was no excuse.
After looking at Namikaze Minato on the main seat with a slightly helpless look, Nara Shikaku secretly cast a helpless look, and then had no choice but to answer truthfully: "The middle jonin in the village has now been mobilized, and the logistics materials have been prepared.
It is sufficient. If we want to send reinforcements to the Country of Grass immediately, we can issue an order at any time..."
"If that's the case, then let's die as soon as possible."
Shimura Danzo couldn't wait to take the words, and then glanced at the two consultants. Seeing that they both had no objections and nodded in agreement, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
Finally, he looked at Namikaze Minato who had a somewhat complicated expression.
"The Yondaime, everything is ready, Konoha no longer has any worries..." Mito Kadobu looked pleased, and his words were also full of urging.
Xiaochun, who then went to bed, also agreed: "If everything goes well, I hope the war in the Country of Grass will be completely over within a week."
"Iwa Ninja's armistice agreement should bring peace for at least ten years..."
According to past practice, more than ten years are almost exactly the interval between previous great ninja wars.
Therefore, the idea of sleeping in Xiaochun’s bed is not unreasonable based on experience.
At this moment, the eyes of everyone at the conference table were almost all focused on Namikaze Minato, and the latter could obviously feel that the pressure and momentum of everyone made it impossible for him to express any objections.
.
Sighing slightly in his heart, Namikaze Minato had no choice but to do the next best thing, trying to buy some time in the end.
Standing up from his seat, Minato Namikaze glanced at everyone, and finally looked at Nara Shikaku: "Then let's completely end the war with the Iwa ninja...
Captain Shikaku, please make the final preparations for mobilization before the war within today, and send reinforcements early tomorrow morning..."
If you can fight for one day, it is one day.
Although it could no longer be delayed, Namikaze Minato still took a chance and hoped that on the last night, good news would come from Nonou's side.
Unfortunately, he didn't expect that Pot King Danzo didn't want to wait any longer.
As soon as Namikaze Minato finished speaking, he suddenly said: "There is no time to prepare, so we should send reinforcements tonight..."
