Shimura Danzo's idea is very simple. By using the powerful defense force to intimidate Yuno Kuni, he can easily replicate the events of Kusano Kuni, and by the way, he can use this to expand his own roots.
For the whole of Konoha, the current backbone of the Defense Department is Uchiha. Throwing out these unstable guys will at least make the village stable for a while.
Moreover, if multiple small shinobi villages are controlled continuously to form a strategic geographical advantage, in the event of a war, the battlefield can be isolated from the Land of Fire...
Since the Third Ninja War, both the Earth Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom have been frightened by the casualties of the war. The Kirigakure Village of the Water Kingdom that needs to be careful can only make some sneaky moves, except for the Kingdom of Thunder.
Yunyin Village is too threatening.
If he wasn't worried about a complete war breaking out, Danzo wouldn't have proposed forcing Yu Ninja Village or anything like that. He might as well have proposed encircling Tian Country and encircling and suppressing the Fourth Raikage...
For a pacifist like Sarutobi Hiruzen, this method is definitely impossible, but he can't come up with any other method... Huh, apart from spinning the crystal ball every day, he doesn't do anything serious.
…
Uchiha Fugaku's mind is also very simple. He is not willing to see his clan members get together every day. Anyway, with at least two pairs of kaleidoscopes as base, there will be no problems if some ordinary clan members are sent out.
But...it's really annoying to have similar opinions to Danzo!
The relationship between the two people is a bit delicate. They are currently the two people who care most about the government affairs of the Ministry of Defense. Danzo wants to seize the power of the Ministry of Defense. As for Fugaku...
This position will belong to Itachi in the future!
Naturally, Nara Shikaku would not agree with their statement: "If it involves foreign affairs, it is not something that the Ministry of Defense can decide alone. It must be discussed at a high-level meeting."
"Then... do you have any better suggestions?" Danzo Shimura continued to touch the ninja sword, as if the ninja sword in his hand was his true love.
Zhuludie looked at each other: "..."
If they had better suggestions, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have implemented them long ago!
"Then let's do this for the time being, report the minutes of today's meeting to the old man... adjourn the meeting!"
Jiraiya announced nonchalantly that the first plenary meeting of the Ministry of Defense was over. He himself did not agree with Danzo's method. However, there were three chief executives, two of whom wanted to control other people's ninja villages, and the other Hyuga Hizatsu.
Live a Buddhist-like life...
The remaining ones treat their duty at the Ministry of Defense as a vacation.
Those bastards from the Country of Thunder who only have meat in their minds have made them very passive throughout Konoha...
Unless you follow the methods of Danzo Shimura or Fugaku, you can only increase your vigilance honestly, which is no different from waiting to be beaten...
"Jiraiya-sama!"
Hinata Hizashi was waiting outside with his team members. He turned around and saw his brother: "Hizu-sama!"
"Well, Hizashi, how do you feel about your first day at work?" Hizashi nodded and said, "My office is on the second floor. Let's go back and have a drink together after get off work, and then take Neji home..."
Hinata Hizashi's face looked a little lost and nostalgic: "Yes, it feels like we are back to when we were children and went to school together..."
On the other side, Hatake Kakashi and Metkai were also chatting with their familiar seniors. Uchiha Fugaku was patting his son on the head and urging him to learn from his seniors seriously.
Behind a harmonious scene...
Danzo Shimura, who was alone: "..."
Where's that guy Aburame Zhiwei? Why can't you find him? Why don't you come out and chat with me for a few words, don't you know I'm embarrassed to be alone!
Hokage Building.
After the meeting, the Hyuga Hizashi team came to submit the meeting minutes to Sarutobi Hiruzen... After reading it over, the old man took out his pipe and filled it with tobacco leaves... Bah, bah, bah...
"..."
The group could only watch as the secondhand smoke began to spread.
"Kai, Hizashi, you go back first!" Sarutobi Hiruzen let the two innocent people go, leaving behind two more innocent children.
Kitahara stood on the boy's shoulder, cocking his paws to look at the Sandaime's pot...it didn't feel any discomfort.
Kitahara knew that cigarettes were also sold in Konoha, but he had no chance. A crow smoking always felt weird...
Hatake Kakashi slowly retreated to the door: "Ahem... How about we go out and chat?"
"...Yes, yes..." Itachi Uchiha covered his mouth and nose and nodded crazily.
After Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff from his pipe, he stood up and said, "Then let's go to the Hokage Rock and have a look!"
"..."
Kitahara yawned and jumped into Itachi's arms. It was just a conversation, why should we choose a place with an atmosphere?
Of course it is needed.
In this place overlooking the entire village, wisps of spring breeze blow in the face, and the second-hand smoke dissipates relatively quickly...
Hiruzen Sarutobi took off the Hokage hat that blocked his sight and glanced at the village he had devoted his life to protecting...
"This is our village... It is said that it was here that the first generation and Uchiha Madara settled on Fuye's position."
"ah…"
Kakashi Hatake stretched out: "Every time I stand here after a mission, I always feel tired and nothing..."
The old man squinted his eyes and nodded in agreement: "It's very similar to when we were young! Kakashi..."
Just when Kita originally thought that this would be afternoon tea time for three generations, Hatake Kakashi suddenly pulled his mask, and his eyes gradually dimmed.
"Hokage-sama specifically asked us to stay here to tell you about Obito, right? Anyway, I think I am a qualified ANBU ninja, but I was suddenly transferred out or something..."
"And I have no idea that Lord Jiraiya, as the highest commander of the Ministry of Defense, is under the protection of a ninja force, so what kind of direct team does he need..."
"Although the establishment of the Ministry of Defense is indeed important, before this department truly grows, our lives will become extremely leisurely!"
"After thinking about it, I didn't hesitate to transfer Itachi and I out of the ANBU, which has heavy tasks, and put it in the Defense Department, which currently has a higher degree of freedom. Obviously there are more important things, right?"
"This matter happens to be related to both of us, and the only tasks that require our full strength are... to hunt down the traitorous ninja... Uchiha... Obito."
After Hatake Kakashi analyzed it, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but be a little surprised: "That's right..."
"I can understand that Captain Hizashi's investigation ability is very important, but why would you transfer that idiot Kai to our team! This kind of thing is too dangerous for him!"
"Actually, it's not as troublesome as you said..." Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Strictly speaking, you were transferred to Kai's team... After all, I only planned to arrange for the two of you to carry out this mission.
!You guys in the Ministry of Defense are just covering up..."
"Are you kidding me?"
Hatake Kakashi felt that he was frightened: "If the intelligence speculation is correct, Obito possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan... He is also accompanied by Zetsu who masters the art of Flying Thunder God..."
"Your mission is just to track down their traces."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes tightened slightly and he said softly: "The Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki will soon reveal his identity, and I believe he will not let this opportunity go!"
"…I see…"
Kakashi wrote lightly: "The perfect Jinchuuriki of Kumogakure Village was indeed very intimidating after the sacrifice of Minato-sensei."
"So smart..."
The communication between the old fox and the little fox was very pleasant.
The little white rabbit and weasel who was watching was a little confused. After a lot of twists and turns, he barely understood the joints...
Before going down the mountain, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly said: "There is a piece of news that may be useful. In the memorial monument on the back mountain, Nohara Lin's relatives were very diligent in sweeping the grave... On the fifteenth day of the winter lunar month last year, there was an extra bouquet of flowers..."
