"I agree with what Danzo said, but the development of Zhonglian is the foundation, the core, and the long-term goal. What we have to do now is to respond to the changes in the Kingdom of Water."
"The spread of the Infinite Scroll is a destabilizing factor, and the puppet war function is a potential threat to all forces. What we should discuss now is how to prevent this situation from spreading!"
The development of the Konoha Alliance did not happen overnight. Danzo hopes to enhance the competitiveness of the Alliance, and Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't want to.
However, a goal that is too broad means there is no goal. Now he just wants to solve the immediate problem.
Mito Kadenyan from the elders group frowned and thought for a while and said:
"According to the intelligence sent back, today's Water Kingdom is a mess. If we target it rashly, it will be easy to break this hard-won peace."
Koharu, who was sitting next to Mito Kadoen, frowned deeply. Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen and others looking at her, obviously looking at her thoughts, Koharu, who was sleeping, said slightly:
"Any move between big countries that goes too far can easily lead to catastrophe. Whether it is pressure or negotiation against the Kingdom of Water, it is the next best thing to do. In my opinion, the manager has a close relationship with the Mist Ninja, but no matter how close they are,
Degree of relationship, after all, the two are not one."
"Perhaps we can treat the Mist Ninjas and managers separately. I don't believe that the Mist Ninjas are willing to let their power slip away. We can cooperate and support the Mist Ninjas, but we can secretly investigate and boycott the managers!"
Xiaochun's words when he went to bed made everyone present fall into deep thought.
That's right, they are both the five major countries and the five major ninja villages. If the manager's partner is Konoha, even if the cooperation between the two parties can really enhance the national power and increase each other's strength, they are really willing to achieve the so-called at the expense of dividing power.
A win-win situation?
Anyone who has tasted the taste of power will know that no matter how bad the pastoral area is, it is a completely different feeling to have only one voice and to have other voices dictating.
If Konoha and the managers cooperate, it can be imagined that the two sides must be at odds with each other, and secretly fighting for power and profit to defend each other is normal development.
Referring to others, most of Konoha's top brass feel that Koharu's suggestion to move to another dormitory is quite feasible.
Supporting fog ninjas to resist managers can not only limit the development of Infinite Internet, but also alienate the relationship between the two parties and make them alienated.
If there is a gap or even conflict between the Mist Ninjas and the managers, the entire Water Kingdom, let alone its development, will probably return to the state of a great Ninja World War once it falls into internal strife or internal strife.
"I support the consultant's opinion!"
Someone affirmed Xiaochun's suggestion to sleep with him, and then more people spoke to express their support.
"If this is the case, we may be able to give up some benefits to some people in the Kingdom of Water to get more information about the managers from them. Infinitely interconnecting managers in one body, as long as the manager falls, the future will be
The era of Zhonglian is also the era of Konoha!"
A family representative expressed his thoughts, but the person next to him was not so optimistic.
"So what if we find out the details of the manager? Just look at the strength revealed by the manager. What price do we have to pay to bring down the manager?"
As soon as this statement came out, most people fell silent.
That's right, just from the few times the manager takes action, it can be seen that the manager himself can be said to stand at the pinnacle of the ninja world, and is the kind of existence that is comparable to a mobile natural disaster.
If you want to defeat this kind of existence, how many ninja lives do you need to spend?
And who can be sure that when the battle breaks out between the village and the administrator, the person who needs to die is not you?
Seeing the atmosphere suddenly fall into a strange silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyes and said:
"There are no immortals in the ninja world, nor are there truly invincible characters. Managers are strong, but that doesn't mean they don't have weaknesses. Everyone's opinions are very suggestive, and I don't think that's the case within the Kingdom of Water either.
It's monolithic. If some people support managers, there will naturally be opponents."
"It is our top priority to give up some of our interests to obtain more information about managers from the opponents. Only by knowing ourselves and our enemies can we win every battle. Is anyone willing to take the initiative to take on this task?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at everyone.
The manager's strength revealed from the forum is indeed scary and even shocking, but those information can scare everyone, but not Hiruzen Sarutobi alone.
As a person who has experienced the era of the first Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen understands what a real strong person is.
Is it strong to destroy a forest, create a lake, and destroy more than ten kilometers of land in a battle?
Judging from the current combat power of the ninja world, it is true that managers are very strong, but in Sarutobi Hiruzen's view, managers are still much worse than the first Hokage during his lifetime.
As we all know, the Valley of the End is the place where the first Hokage Senju Hashirama fought with Madara Uchiha.
Later, when people see the two commemorative statues in the Valley of the End, they may think that the battle between the first Hokage and Uchiha Madara only created a deep valley.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen, who has experienced that era and sat on the position of Hokage, knows clearly that the Valley of the End is just the place where the first Hokage and Uchiha Madara ended their battle.
The destruction caused by the battle between the two cannot be summed up by the Valley of the End, which is only a few kilometers long.
In that true final battle, the Valley of the End was just an insignificant devastation caused by the aftermath of the battle.
According to subsequent statistics from ninjas, the battlefield between the first Hokage and Uchiha Madara stretched for hundreds of kilometers, and nearly a thousand kilometers of surface terrain was directly rewritten.
Not to mention other things far away, the huge forest in the southwest of Konoha that stretches for dozens of miles and is known as the Forest of Death is the product of the first Hokage's use of the Wood Release Ninjutsu to descend from the Tree World.
The managers and the Akatsuki organization are powerful, but there is still an insurmountable gap compared to the creator of Konoha.
Even the first Hokage, known as the god of ninjas, could fall. Hiruzen Sarutobi believed that as long as he collected enough information, even if the manager was several times stronger, it would still be possible to defeat him.
"In that case, then leave this matter to me!"
After Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke, Danzo volunteered without thinking.
Using conspiracy and tactics to sow relationships is his specialty. He has always regretted that he didn't catch the manager when they first met. Now, if he can directly make up for his regrets with the manager, then of course no one else will do it!
He has personally experienced the effect of Konoha Alliance on increasing personal strength. If he can obtain the secret of infinite interconnection from the manager, he simply cannot imagine how powerful he will be!
As for the performance of managers, Danzo also pays attention to it, but in his opinion, only those with infinite Internet can achieve this level, and managers can be considered average.
The strength and potential of the ice escape blood inheritance are right there. The innate limitations are difficult to break through no matter how much chakra you have.
Moreover, he has already received the news that Yamanaka Hai's team will return to Konoha soon, and traveling with them is Toru Watanabe, who suddenly appeared.
Possessing three forbidden arts, he actually directly killed Uchiha Takuma who escaped from him, which made Danzo feel completely incredible at first.
However, when I learned about the forbidden technique on Toru Watanabe from the intelligence, I had to feel that Uchiha Takuma was unlucky.
Now that Uchiha Takuma's body has been brought back, he will naturally find a way to get his hands on Uchiha Takuma's eyes.
With the forbidden technique of Yin Zhenaki and the eyes of Uchiha Takuma, the combination of these abilities means that even if the manager uses ice escape to his advantage, he will still be dead if he encounters him!
"You?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little surprised that Danzo was actively taking on things, but he thought about it for a second and found that this matter was indeed very suitable for Danzo.
Before Danzo could continue to fight, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded directly and said:
"In that case, then it's up to you to take control of this matter, but Zhonglian must not relax because of this!"
Danzo nodded seriously, and no one else raised any objection at this time. Everyone knew that the matter was settled.
The next meeting did not last too long, and soon Sarutobi Hiruzen announced the end of the meeting.
After leaving Danzo and the two to communicate for a while, Danzo quickly withdrew.
Sarutobi Hiruzen watched Danzo leave through the window, and raised his hand to pinch his brows with some fatigue.
He has always understood Danzo's ambitions, and he has seen the constant small moves since the development of Zhonglian. However, everything Danzo did was ultimately beneficial to Konoha, so he mostly turned a blind eye to Danzo's actions.
.
If a manager is an enemy of Konoha, it will not be easy to deal with it.
As he gets older, Sarutobi Hiruzen feels that many things are beyond his capabilities.
He didn't have the energy to focus on dealing with the manager's affairs. Nowadays, the internal conflicts in the village are sharp and the Uchiha problems have not been solved. Just dealing with these makes Sarutobi Hiruzen feel a little exhausted.
It is Sarutobi Hiruzen's plan to handle internal affairs by himself and delegate some power to external affairs.
Leave external issues to Danzo, and there should be no problems in a short time. After all, the root organization's tentacles are all over the ninja world, and many things can be handled by Danzo far more effectively than he can.
Moreover, once a major mistake occurs, if Danzo is able to take responsibility, he will take responsibility himself. If he is not capable, then Danzo can still have an explanation.
Regarding internal affairs, the main problem is the family power headed by Uchiha.
With the death of Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi accidentally awakened the kaleidoscope, and the village and Uchiha once again came to a fragile balance.
Balance is a favorable state for Uchiha, but for Konoha, being unable to take the absolute initiative is a huge failure.
Without absolute certainty, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not dare to break this balance rashly. However, as the news of Watanabe Toru's victory over Uchiha Takuma spread back to the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen saw a glimmer of an opportunity.
With Toru Watanabe in high-end combat power to offset the presence of Itachi Uchiha, Konoha will regain the initiative.
As long as we take the initiative, Konoha can start to divide the Uchiha or whatever.
Considering the importance of this matter, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not dare to implement his ideas casually.
Watanabe Toru is a particularly critical link in the plan. Once there is a problem with the former, not only will the suppression of Uchiha fail, it will even cause a terrible chain reaction.
In less than two years, he went from an ordinary chuunin to a strong man who could rival Mangekyou. It is absolutely impossible to say that Hiruzen Sarutobi had no worries.
However, after all, Sarutobi Hiruzen has decades of rich experience, and some seemingly unbelievable things are not impossible.
Toru Watanabe's adventure from the Kong Ninja seemed reasonable to Sarutobi Hiruzen. He didn't care too much about the reason for Watanabe's transformation, but he cared more about the latter's recognition of Konoha.
Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and thought about Toru Watanabe.
Dongdong——
Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside. Hiruzen Sarutobi opened his eyes and knew that it was Yamanaka Hai's team and Toru Watanabe coming over.
He had received news since the group returned to Konoha, and with the character of Yamanaka Haiichi, he was not surprised to come to report on their work immediately.

"Hokage-sama!"
As soon as they entered the door, everyone, including Toru Watanabe, bowed to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Sarutobi Hiruzen put a smile on his face and stood up cordially.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
After completing the almost customary care, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Yamanaka Haiichi for the details of the mission.
As Yamanaka Kaichi told him, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed a lot, but his eyes hardly changed. After all, Yamanaka Kaichi told him the details through Konoha Alliance more than half a month ago.
"It's really not easy. It's all thanks to you this time, Watanabe!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not call Toru Watanabe's previous code name in ANBU, but directly called his name.
Based on Yamanaka Hai's description of Watanabe Toru's strength, the opponent is already a powerful ninja who can stand alone. It is obviously not suitable for him to continue to stay in ANBU.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
After giving everyone the usual encouragement, Sarutobi Hiruzen proposed that Yamanaka Hai's team send Uchiha Takuma's body to the science class for secret preservation.
Soon, everyone in Yamanaka Hai's team, including Yugao, retreated, leaving only Sarutobi Hiruzen and Watanabe Toru in the entire Hokage's office.
"Watanabe, you really exceeded my expectations. During the ninja school, your performance was only average among your peers, but even so, Yin Bixi still insisted on letting you enter the ANBU. Although Yin Bixi is not particularly good,
, but his vision is indeed extraordinary!"
There was some emotion in Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, and Morino Yinhiki was a person he was very optimistic about.
Yin Bixi's strength is average, but his recognition of Konoha is extraordinary. If Toru Watanabe can have the same awareness as Yin Bixi, then future arrangements will be relatively easy.
"Captain Yin Bixi naturally has a good taste, but I'm just lucky."
Watanabe Toru responded politely.
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, no longer talking about Yin Bixi, but said directly:
"I wonder what you think of the Uchiha clan, Watanabe?"
"Uchiha?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, and Watanabe Toru looked serious as if thinking.
As soon as he heard about Uchiha, Toru Watanabe understood that Sarutobi Hiruzen was preparing to arrange for him to fight Uchiha in the ring.
Naturally, he would not do this thankless task. After organizing his words for a while, Toru Watanabe said directly:
"Uchiha is an important part of the village. Although there may be voices within the Uchiha that are not conducive to unity, no matter how extreme the words are, it cannot change the fact that Uchiha belongs to Konoha after all."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded instinctively at first, but then he was stunned. As a politician, after carefully considering what Toru Watanabe said, he found that it was not as simple as it seemed.
The words are extreme, but in the end they are facts. The extended meaning of these words is that although some people in Uchiha shouted for rebellion and coup every day, they did not implement it after all.
As long as Uchiha does not initiate action, then Uchiha is a part of Konoha.
This sentence almost directly states Toru Watanabe's position. As long as Uchiha does not actually launch a coup, Toru Watanabe will not target Uchiha.
The more Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about this sentence, the more certain he was that he was right.
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Toru Watanabe blankly. Unexpectedly, in addition to becoming stronger, the guy in front of him also had a bit more language talent as a politician.
