Daily Life of the Third Hokage

The two sides have been in a state of panic.

Although Lord Uzumaki Mito is not very active now due to his old age, and just a few months ago, Lord Mito proposed the news of selecting the next Jinchūriki.

Hatake Sakumo knew what this news meant. At such a critical moment, the Whirlpool Country and the Whirlpool Village must not have any problems, and Konoha must not stand idly by.

"Notify all major departments in the village to strengthen their vigilance, and notify the Whirlpool Country to make preparations. In addition, assemble the first brigade of the Anbu." Sakumo ordered decisively.

The Anbu members took the order and left. Sakumo pondered for a moment, picked up the scroll on the table, and prepared to study the actions of the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village again.

At this moment, a voice came from the door: "Lord Sakumo, I have important information to report."

Sakumo looked up and saw a young ninja standing at the door. He was wearing the clothes of the Anbu and had a confident smile on his face.

Sakumo's heart moved. This young ninja was called Higashino. He was an elite ninja of the Anbu and his right-hand man.

"Higashino, what information do you have?" Sakumo asked.

Higashino walked into the room, walked in front of Sakumo, and said respectfully: "Lord Sakumo, I found a large number of ninjas on the sea when I was on a mission in the Land of Whirlpools."

"Oh?" Sakumo raised his head, "Tell me, what are the origins of those ninjas?"

Higashino smiled slightly, "Those ninjas are elite ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village, and their target seems to be the Land of Whirlpools."

"The Land of Whirlpools?" Sakumo frowned, "When did you find out?"

Just now, I received a message from Naoto Mitarai, and the joint forces of Kumogakure and Kirigakure boarded the ship. Higashino found out the day before yesterday?

Higashino shook his head, "Yesterday, when we completed our mission and evacuated, there were several large warships on the sea, heading for the Land of Whirlpools. The only village in the entire ninja world that had warships was the Hidden Mist Village, and the other villages were just merchant ships."

"Mist Ninja?" Sakumo's heart moved, "Higashino, is it only the Mist Ninja?"

Higashino nodded, "I'm not sure about this. The small boat our team was riding on didn't dare to get close, and I came to report to you as soon as I came back."

Sakumo pondered for a moment, "Okay, I know, you go down first."

"Yes, Lord Sakumo." Higashino nodded and turned to leave.

"Be prepared for war, don't relax, and don't go on missions recently." Hatake Sakumo's voice came from behind.

We have to discuss this matter with Orochimaru as soon as possible.

In the Hokage's office, next to the Hokage's desk, Orochimaru was sitting there processing documents.

At the end of last year (the 31st year of Konoha), after Orochimaru returned to the village after his rotation, Uzumaki Mito resigned from the village committee on the pretext of being old. After a vote by the committee, Orochimaru was added as a member of the village committee in the position of Minister of Education.

At the beginning of this year, Hyuga Tennin died of old age at the ancestral home of the Hyuga clan. The third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen personally attended the funeral and wrote a eulogy for the funeral, calling him a permanent hero of Konoha.

At the subsequent village committee meeting, Akimichi Tofu resigned from the village committee and recommended the addition of Anbu Minister Hatake Sakumo and Deputy Minister of Political Affairs Nara Shikako as members.

This resolution was passed unanimously, and the third Hokage proposed to promote Nara Shikako to Minister of Political Affairs to meet the identity of a village committee member.

In addition, it was proposed to increase Mito Kado En as the second shadow of Konoha, on par with Shimura Danzo, and the two complement each other.

As for why Orochimaru works in the Hokage's office?

This happened because a certain Hokage learned from a certain channel that the next generation Hokage he had planned had reached the rebellious period, and was secretly preparing to participate in a secret operation with a certain deputy Hokage.

The result is predictable. The secret operation of the two was suppressed on the spot, and a certain deputy Hokage also went to recuperate due to illness.

Orochimaru was assigned to be on duty in the Hokage's office.

A certain contemporary Hokage also disappeared. According to the master's wife, he is currently practicing some secret technique.

Hatake Sakumo strode into the Hokage's office. When he approached the chair next to Orochimaru's seat, he patted Orochimaru on the shoulder and took a seat aside.

Orochimaru, who was lying on the table without raising his head, raised his head and glanced at Hatake Sakumo. "My dear brother, you'd better have something important." Orochimaru said in an impatient tone, and he lay down on the table again. "Don't you see that I have so many things to do? I'm exhausted every day, and you don't even ask to help me.

"

Hatake Sakumo ignored Orochimaru's rudeness, took a deep breath, and said: "I have received accurate information that Kirigakure and Kumogakure are going to launch a war against the Land of Whirlpools."

"So what?" Orochimaru was stunned for a moment and asked seriously.

"I think we need to discuss sending troops to aid the Land of Whirlpools." Hatake Sakumo said seriously.

Orochimaru suddenly raised his head and said hesitantly: "But the old man is not here. There has been no news for a long time. The Hokage cannot issue a large-scale mobilization order without him."

"It has nothing to do with me. That is something you, the deputy Hokage, should consider. I am already mobilizing a large team of Anbu. According to the control regulations, I need to file a case with you."

"Your Anbu is still good, without so many constraints." Orochimaru looked up with some envy.

Hatake Sakumo unceremoniously said: "Every system is a lesson learned from experience. Don't deny it easily. Besides, this system was changed because of you and that person. "

"Don't give me that. You know, the main reason is not my fault. Otherwise, with the old man's character, how could I sit here? In fact, I think someone should have died of illness." Orochimaru raised his head again and stared at Sakumo.

Hatake Sakumo returned his gaze expressionlessly without moving.

Orochimaru could only say helplessly: "I'm just talking. Okay, let's not talk about this. The Hokage is not here. We can only convene a village committee first. With the consent of all the committee members, the deputy shadow will sign the mobilization order."

"Then you go to convene the village committee. I want to take the first team of the Anbu there first. This is my authorization letter and my opinion on this meeting. I will not attend the village committee." Hatake Sakumo handed out a scroll.

"Is it so urgent?" Orochimaru looked at Hatake Sakumo in a bit of astonishment and did not take the scroll.

"An Anbu task force reported that yesterday in the waters near the Whirlpool Country, it was found that the warships of the Hidden Mist were heading towards the Whirlpool Country.

I'm afraid that we're running out of time, so let's go first. After all, we need to give an explanation to Lord Mito.

My going there will represent the attitude of the village. If the Whirlpool Country is really breached, it won't be our inability to rescue.

You village committee should also hurry up and stop dilly-dallying.

I'm leaving first. "

Hatake Sakumo said, and he put the scroll on the table and went out.
