Inside the account, a large long table stood in the center. In addition to candles for lighting, there was also a map of the Kingdom of Rain filled with various symbols.
The heads of each ninja family and the elite jounin in the village were sitting on both sides of the long table, looking at their noses and hearts with bated breath.
The number of people is about a dozen.
They are the leadership of Konoha stationed in the Rain Country, and they are also the most powerful group of people.
Mito Monobu was sitting at the head of the long table. To his left was Akimichi Takafeng, but the seat to his right was empty.
"Why haven't you come yet?" Mito Kadoyan frowned and glanced around. As expected, there was no answer. He couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Juekage.
There was no expression on Akimichi Torifu's face. He had told Mito Kadobu what he needed to say last night. Out of precaution against Danzo, the two discussed how to dispatch Zeekage all night and initially reached an agreement.
At this moment, Akimichi Tōfū believed that Mito Monohan would not be swayed by his own emotions and cause unnecessary conflicts with Zeekage.
Although Akimichi Tōfū was also a little angry about Zeekage's lateness, in this war period, he knew that all dissatisfaction must be suppressed, just because Zeekage was the highest combat power in the battlefield of Konoha Rain Country.
If you want to defeat the Rain Ninja and Hanzo the Sanshouyu, Jueking's power is necessary.
"Wait a little longer, Tsunade and Orochimaru have already gone to call him." Akimichi Tifeng was keenly aware that Mito Kabuto's expression was a little uneasy, so he couldn't help but persuade him.
"Hmph! How does that guy Danzo educate his subordinates?" Mito Monobu muttered, then simply leaned back and closed his eyes to rest.
Uchiha Fugaku hid beside his father, the clan leader, and secretly observed the reactions of the senior officials in the field.
Regarding Zeekage, although Uchiha Fugaku had heard many rumors about him from his father, the first time they met was last night.
Jueking's figure was not tall, and his voice sounded very young, which gave Uchiha Fugaku a vague sense of familiarity, and speculation about his true identity had been lingering in his mind.
Uchiha Fugaku tried to explain his suspicions to his father, but in the end he only got a reply: don't interfere with things you shouldn't do, and don't ask things you shouldn't ask.
The current leader of the Uchiha clan is named Hayabusa. He is over fifty and is already in his prime.
For such an old man, no matter what the emergence of Juekage means, the Uchiha clan's stance cannot change at all.
Uchiha Hayato noticed his son's curiosity, so he gave a warning in time, hoping that Fugaku could stop it.
After spending so many years in Konoha's power arena, Uchiha Hayato has long understood everything.
Since he took over the position of clan leader, Uchiha Hayato has lived in Konoha for more than twenty years, so he is very aware that the Hokage, Danzo, advisors and other high-level factions are wary of the Uchiha clan overtly or covertly.
This kind of caution originated from the Second Hokage, and the Konoha Guard Force is its product.
Uchiha Hayato had been angry, unwilling, fought, and wanted revenge...but in the end, all these faded away with the passage of time. Now Uchiha Hayato just wants to muddle along and pass on the position of clan leader smoothly.
In Fugaku's hands.
Therefore, the more times like this, the less Uchiha Hayato wants Fugaku to have any inappropriate thoughts and break the "harmony" between the Uchiha clan and the village.
Rushing to inquire about Zeekage's identity, no matter what the motive is, will definitely arouse the suspicion and suspicion of Konoha's higher-ups, especially Danzo's suspicion.
That is definitely not a good thing for the Uchiha clan, especially... now that so many people are secretly paying attention to Juekage.
Since the appearance of Jueking, Uchiha Hayato has been keenly aware of some changes in the rumors among the top management, so he is unwilling to let the Uchiha clan be involved in this turbulent whirlpool and then be torn to pieces.
A master who is equivalent to a demigod and a half-zodiac is not something that the Uchiha clan can get their hands on.
At the same time, having even the slightest contact with Jueying is no less than a recipe for death for any ninja family.
Do you understand this? Hinata Kei?
Uchiha Hayato stared blankly at the Hyuga clan leader sitting opposite, with an expression as if he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, but he believed that his "nominal" old rival could understand what he wanted to express.
Sure enough, Hinata Kai responded with a disdainful look from Uchiha Hayato, as if to say: You understand the truth, how can I not understand it?
Seeing Hinata Kei's reaction, Uchiha Hayato let out a silent sigh of relief.
The battle between the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan has been going on for many years under the leadership of their two clan leaders, but this was actually deliberately shaped.
The purpose is to reassure senior executives.
Other ninja families may be able to get along well with each other, but Uchiha and Hinata, as the only two remaining big families in Konoha, absolutely cannot. Even though Uchiha Hayato and Hyuga Kei have never communicated openly, they
Both sides maintain a tacit understanding of this.
Everything can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words.
Although Uchiha Fugaku didn't fully understand the clan leader's thoughts, he had some guesses. He raised his eyes and looked at the young man sitting opposite the Hyuga clan leader, thinking silently in his heart: What if that guy Hyuga Hizatsu faced him?
situation, what choice will you make?
As the young patriarch of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hizashi's thoughts are highly consistent with Hyuga Kei's.
Unlike the Uchiha clan, although the Hyuga clan is also wary of Konoha's top brass, the degree is far less severe than that of the Uchiha clan.
In this case, the Hyuga clan does not need to take any risks: keeping a low profile and being safe is their way of survival.
Hinata Hinashi noticed Uchiha Fugaku's gaze, tilted his head slightly, and gave a calm look in return. The two young clan leaders instantly understood each other's meaning.
Uchiha Fugaku knew that Hinata Hizashi had the same idea as his father, that is, he did not want the Uchiha clan to do anything, and he did not want to see Uchiha Fugaku doing anything.
As the only remaining big family in Konoha, they are like two sides of the same body. The Uchiha clan has fallen, and the Hyuga clan also has nothing to gain. This is the balance between the big family and the village.
However, everyone understands the truth, but Uchiha Fugaku still feels vaguely unwilling to accept it. He is still young, and he wants to become a high-level official in Konoha, and then change the Uchiha clan's isolated status in the village.
The most important thing is that he knows Jueying's true identity. If he can find an opportunity to contact Jueying alone, and then use the other party's power...
Uchiha Fugaku, who is just seventeen years old this year, is still too young after all. What he thinks in his heart cannot be revealed no matter how hard he hides it.
The subtle change in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes was somewhat noticed by Hyuga Hizashi, which made the young Hyuga clan leader frown slightly.
Akimichi Tifeng sat upright above, calmly observing the reactions of the people below, all kinds of eye contact, all kinds of lip language interactions, Akimichi Tifeng suddenly felt a little tired.
As an important member of the Hokage family, Akimichi Tofaze is not a senior member of Konoha in the actual sense, but his status is here after all, so his stance is naturally more on the side of the Hokage than his own family.
Even if Akimichi Kaifeng is not in the village, he has heard about the undercurrent caused by Jueking and Danzo in recent times.
What is undisputed is that since the Kamiouigaoka incident, the political situation in the upper echelons of Konoha has become no longer calm. Relying on the combat power of Zeekage, Danzo's hands have been stretched longer and longer, and his ambitions have become more and more inflated.
As in the past, leaving aside the issue of ability, this important task of controlling the Land of Rain has always been carried out by the masters of the Hokage series, but now Danzo has taken it away.
It has to be said that Danzo's current actions are much more proactive than before, but this is by no means a good sign.
In addition, the signals released by some of Danzo's recent small actions also seem to indicate that the other party has deep intentions.
Then, there is another thing that Akimichi Tifeng worries about the most: Will the forces of various ninja families intervene in the disputes between high-level officials? Will the already complicated situation become even more confusing?
Even if everyone in the tent is a Konoha ninja and is under the guidance of the Will of Fire, this does not mean that they are all enjoying themselves.
Political ideas, positions and factions, interest demands, and even grievances and grudges, there are too many factors for everyone to distinguish between "friends" and "enemies."
Thinking about the current situation, Akimichi Kaufeng really doesn't want to have to "make early plans" for the Akimichi clan one day.
Although the retreat of the rain ninjas was in full swing outside, few people present were thinking about this issue.
In the final analysis, the war with Yuyin Village is just a big country bullying a small country on a daily basis. It is the product of routine. It does not matter whether it is just or not. Winning or losing does not really matter to most people.
However, the power struggle among Konoha's top leaders not only involves everyone's vital interests, but also has an impact on one's wealth and life to some extent.
In the silent exchange, the atmosphere became increasingly solemn.
It was in this environment that Lei Luo stepped into the Chinese army's tent.
