Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 110 Seven Requests

"Shikaku is right!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded, expressing his approval of Nara Shikahisa's words: "The question now is, which Ninja village and Orochimaru concluded an offensive alliance... Sand? Rain? Taki ? Grass? Even a joint alliance of several Ninja villages!? "

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and looked at the many Konoha ninjas with uncertain expressions in front of him: "Our advantage now is that we know the attack plan of Orochimaru in advance, and the home field is our side, so we can mobilize the largest combat power."

Since it is a raid plan, the opponent is also in a secret form, which means that the mobilization of fighters cannot be too large. Although the alliance treaty is just a piece of paper, it is impossible to truly restrict the actions of a country and Ninja Village, but if there is no certainty of dismemberment and victory Before Konoha, they could always make them take their face into account and not dare to make a big show of it.

Compared with these sneaky ninja villages, Konoha Ninja is at home, there are no so-called left-behind personnel at all, and logistics and other aspects do not need to consume manpower, and the largest war resources can be mobilized.

Of course, because the battle took place in Konoha, although Konoha Ninja has a home court advantage, it will also cause damage and losses to Konoha Village. Combat power to destroy the incoming enemy and minimize the loss of Konoha Village.

"I trust you." Hiruzaru Sarutobi said softly, with a low tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, but this kind of trust in the ninja present in such a normal tone made everyone The slightly anxious mood disappeared without a trace, and a knowing smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

"No one can underestimate Konoha Ninja, it will cost him dearly." Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the table with his pipe, and confidently said to the people in front of him: "Since they have already bullied the family, then We'll let them come and go!"

Whether it's the lazy Hatake Kakashi, or the indifferent Konoha ninja with different personalities, they all loudly agreed to Sarutobi's speech.

Sweeping away the anxiety and uneasiness of the crowd, even with a weak body, you can calm the minds of the Konoha ninjas with just a few words. This is the outstanding personality charm of the old man known as "Ninja"!

"I'm issuing the highest alert order now!" Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that the atmosphere in the room had become much more enthusiastic, and couldn't help but nodded in his heart with satisfaction: "All material and personnel transfers are based on war!"

"Both the Ninja School and Konoha Hospital must conduct an emergency evacuation drill in the near future! The logistics personnel will increase investment in the near future to meet the equipment needs of the combatants as soon as possible, and then temporarily assign the combatants to the combat department." Hiruzaru Sarutobi Ordered in an orderly manner: "The medical department should start storing medicinal materials. I want them to ensure that Konoha's personnel loss can be minimized after the war is over! Shikajiu, please inform the Nara clan leader that the Nara clan will have to work harder in the near future."

Nara Shikahisa nodded yes.

"When the war breaks out, the peripheral guards will carry out initial resistance. After killing the enemy's soldiers, they will slowly retreat to the village and use the terrain advantage to ensure their own safety." Sarutobi Hiruzen said after thinking for a while: "Increase the income According to the audience's request, foreign audiences don't need to be invited to enter the arena if their identities are not important and special enough, and provide tickets and seats for Muye villagers for free, and try to gather the villagers in one place to ensure their safety."

…………

The people in charge of each department had already been assigned tasks. After leaving the conference room, Nuo Da's room became cold and silent in an instant.

"Kadoen, Koharu, wait a minute," Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been silent all this time, finally said to the two of them, seeing that Mito Monen and Zhuanshu Koharu were about to leave the conference room, "I have something to say."

Mitomon Yan and Zhuanju Koharu looked at each other, then fell back to their seats, Mitomon Yan nodded to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and asked, "What's the matter, Hirazan?"

"Jiraiya is back." Hiruzaru Sarutobi said in a deep voice.

Even with the city and scheming that Mitomon Yan and Tanju Koharu have experienced in the ninja world, they couldn't help being surprised when they suddenly heard what Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"Hubis told me not long ago that Jiraiya is now with Naruto." Hiruza Sarutobi said dully, smoking his pipe, "He said he was just going back to Konoha to collect materials for new works, not For any particular purpose."

"But the only one who can stop Orochimaru now is him who is also one of the 'Three Ninjas'!" Zhuanzhu Xiaochun frowned and said, "Why is Ziraiya still so unreliable!"

"That guy is like that!" Sarutobi Hiruza couldn't help laughing heartily after hearing what Zhuanshu Xiaochun said, like an old man who loves his juniors, he defended Jiraiya: "But he is very emotional, in his words , is a '[-] percent good man'."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, his smile gradually faded, and his tone lowered: "But it is also because of this that it is impossible for me to leave Orochimaru to him to deal with. I am afraid he will not be able to deal with Orochimaru."

"Oshemaru was taught by me," Hiruzaru Sarutobi waved his hand to stop Mitomon Yan who was hesitant to speak, and said, "He wants to destroy Konoha now, so I should make up for this mistake."

"I ask you two to stay, there is only one thing..." Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly exhaled a puff of smoke from his mouth, carefully watched the puff of smoke gradually change shape in the air until it dissipated, and then said in a deep voice : "If I have any accidents, I hope you two must let Jiraiya take over as the fifth generation of Hokage-Konoha Village cannot be without a leader, nor can it be without a backbone. Although that guy has many flaws, he is still enough. Reliable."

"Hi Zhan!?" Although Sarutobi Hiru Zan's words were plain, as if they were talking about an ordinary thing, but the death will contained in it was obvious, which made Mitomonyan and Zhuanju Xiaoharu Looking at each other, the latter exclaimed even more.

"Don't say any more." Hiruzaru Sarutobi waved his hands in a disinterested manner, and whispered to the two of them, "This is an order from an old friend of mine, and it is also the last request. After going through this battle, the outside world will surely He will cast his eyes on Konoha, and as long as Konoha shows a trace of exhaustion and distress, although the enemies will not rush over to tear the village apart like a pack of wolves, provocation and suppression are definitely inevitable, and Konoha will need a As Hokage, someone with strong strength and prestige, I am old after all, and it is impossible to do this."

Mitomon Yan and Zhuanju Koharu took a deep look at Hiruza Sarutobi. Although the two of them had a lower status than Hirukage in name, they were Hiruza Sarutobi's partners who grew up together. After Hokage, they have always treated each other as equals, and they seldom ordered or asked to do anything in a commanding tone, even in recent years.

Thinking of the hidden ambitions revealed by Shimura Danzo, who is also an advisor to the elders, Mitomon Yan and Zenju Koharu both sighed, but they still made up their minds to complete Sarutobi Hiruzen's commission.
