Chapter 168 Uchiha Invites a Battle

Naruto Building, Jonin Conference

After nearly four years of war in the ninja world, the number of junin has decreased a lot. Before the war, there were nearly 150 jnin in Konoha, but now there are only more than 80 of them. Kakashi is a jounin who has a high probability of failing the normal assessment and was temporarily promoted during the war.

This time, Jonin was almost the most complete time that Konoha came during the war. Even Tsunade and Orochimaru walked out of the casino and laboratory.

Including Uzumaki Kushina, she also had to put down the decoration guidance of her new home and take a little time to attend this boring meeting.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi glanced at Kushina's direction irritably. She is sitting next to Tsunade now; There is no need for the protection of the dark part.

Although the ninjas in the same village of Konoha are glad that Kushina helped win the war against Yunnin, they are also afraid of the power of Kyuubi, the power that can easily destroy a town, even the ninjas of the same village will be afraid, they don't know what is perfect Controlling the power of the tailed beast is just worried that the nine tails will run away one day.

Kushina doesn't care what Konoha Ninja thinks of her, they are all idiots who don't understand anything anyway.

It's just that what makes Sarutobi Hiruzen annoyed is that Kushina is planning to live with Kahn, and now the relationship between the two is short of a wedding.

Sarutobi Hiruzen very much does not want Kyuubi Jinchuriki to make friends with outsiders, even if Konoha Village loses Jinchuriki who can use the power of the tailed beast, he does not want to see Kyuubi fall into the hands of the enemy.

"Everyone is almost here, so let's start, about the peace agreement with Iwanin..."

After Sarutobi Hiruzen waited for everyone to arrive, he directly talked about the business.

The peace agreement with Iwanin was signed by Konoha high-level executives alone, and it was not discussed at the Jōnin meeting. Because the matter was in a hurry, Iwanin still had the power to fight at the time, so Sarutobi Hiruzen relaxed his attitude towards Iwanin. oppression.

With thousands of Iwanin, plus Ohnoki and two tailed orcs Churiki in the rear, Iwanin Village was not really desperate at that time. This was also a decision made by Sarutobi Hiruzaru and others after discussion.

Giving up the offensive entanglement with Iwa Ninja on the battlefield, there is no compensation, and the two sides define the mission entrustment division and the ninja garrison line of defense. Even at this point, Konoha seems to be a little less than before the war.

After listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, some jounin frowned slightly. If the peace agreement is like this, Konoha is at a big loss.

Although Iwa Ninja had more casualties than Konoha, Konoha paid a lot of money to hire Kusanagi and Taki Ninja to participate in the war. If these are included, Konoha did not benefit from the war at all.

Mitomen Yan opened his mouth and explained for Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Iwa Ninja still has thousands of ninjas capable of fighting, as well as Ohnoki and the two tailed orc Churiki. If we insist on biting, it is very likely that the war will expand. It is necessary to send additional reinforcements at that time, and Sand Ninja and Cloud Ninja who have just signed a peace agreement may also..."

Some Junin who were not very satisfied with this, after hearing Mitomenyan's explanation, understood this decision a little bit.

The next thing is to talk about the battle process and the ninja rewards for the meritorious service on the grass country battlefield, but the specific rewards are not clearly stated, and there will be a mission team to verify afterwards.

"The next thing is that there is something abnormal in Kirigakure Village. They sent a large number of Kirigakure ninjas to harass the border of the country of fire, and there is information that they saw seven ninja swords on the border of the country of fire."

Hiruzen Sarutobi opened his mouth to tell this information, which immediately made all the jounin in the room look sideways.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are the cards of Kirigakure Village. The seven ninja swords have their own magical abilities. Kirigakure, who can get the ninja swords, is a very powerful Jōnin; Shadow level powerhouse.

Turning to bed Xiaochun added on the side: "I don't know if it is the order of the third generation of Mizukage or someone issued a task entrustment to Wuyin Village. The latter still has some room to avoid war. If it is the former, then we must prepare for the war." preparation."

If Kahn was here, he would definitely realize that Xiaochun wanted to pour dirty water on him, but unfortunately there was only Jiu Xinnai here, and she was wondering whether to lead a stream near her new home.

"In addition to the seven ninjas, Anbu also found signs of a large-scale gathering of Kirigakure ninjas on the border of the country of water. It is very likely that they are coming for Konoha, so we must be on guard."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi breathed out a mouthful of dry smoke slowly and said, looking around with sharp eyes, stayed on Orochimaru for a second longer, and continued: "I decided to choose one person from the village and go to the coastal border of the Kingdom of Fire , to guard against the invasion of Wuyin..."

Nara Shikahisa said: "Master Hokage, the coastal defense line is too big. If Kirigakure wants to invade, we can't defend against it. If the other party has the intention of starting a war, we'd better join hands with Sand Ninja to deal with Kirigakure. in the peace agreement."

It wasn't long before Nara Shikahisa took over the position of the head of the Nara clan, but he was honed from the war, and his ability was unanimously recognized by the three clans.

Mitomen Yan agreed: "This method is feasible. Sand ninja signed this agreement with us in response to Iwa ninja. Now that Kirigakure has taken action, we can also use this agreement to demand them."

This suggestion has been approved by many Jonin. Since it is necessary to be on guard, it is best to drag Sand Ninja into the water, otherwise the original peace agreement is far from enough for Konoha's loss.

However, what the Kamijino inside the house didn't know was that under the peace agreement with Sand Ninja, Hiruzaru Sarutobi and other high-level executives secretly compensated Sand Ninja for some benefits in order to end the Kawa no Kingdom battlefield as soon as possible, only in exchange for the superficial peace agreement .

"Since everyone agrees with this decision, do you have any good suggestions for the ninjas sent to the coast of the Land of Fire?"

After Hiruzaru Sarutobi said this, the room suddenly became quiet, and there was an inexplicable smile on Orochimaru's face. After Hiruzaru Sarutobi saw the expression of his disciple, he suddenly felt that something unexpected would happen.

"I think Oshemaru-sama is the most suitable candidate."

Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Nara Shika sighed inwardly, and said decisively; he was not too willing to be such a young bird, and if he was suspected afterwards, he would definitely be hated by a Sannin.

Fortunately, Orochimaru is not Tsunade, otherwise, if the Nara clan is seriously injured in the future, they may not be able to find anyone who can treat them; it is okay for Orochimaru, although the strength is strong, it will not let Ikacho fear.

And Namikaze Minato is indeed more suitable for Hokage than Orochimaru for Ikacho.

"Master Orochimaru's performance on the battlefield of the Kawano Kingdom is obvious to all. Even a ninja can use the joint psychic technique to summon psychic beasts to help, which can just alleviate the current shortage of manpower in Konoha Ninja Village..."

Nara Shikahisa said a lot about the advantages of Orochimaru. In terms of the performance of war, Orochimaru is indeed the best among the three ninjas, especially the third Kazekage who defeated the "strongest Kazekage", and captured another of Sand Ninja Village. The magnetic escape ninja almost dragged Jinchuriki to death.

These military exploits were publicized by "Ninja Weekly", and even the civilians in Konoha knew about Orochimaru's military exploits.

Now that it was brought up by Nara Shikaku, Shinobu's impression of Orochimaru on the field has been deepened, and he believes that only Orochimaru can better deal with Kirigakure.

After Nara Shikahisa, some people also agreed. There are not many people who can lead a ninja army to command a battlefield. There are only a few, and Orochimaru is indeed the most suitable candidate.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi pretended to listen to the opinions, then tilted his head and asked, "Oshemaru, what do you think?"

Orochimaru chuckled, and then said: "Of course, if the village needs me, I can leave at any time."

This sentence gained a lot of goodwill from the Jonin present. He just won the Battle of the Kingdom of Kawa, and now he is going to the coast of the Kingdom of Fire. Moreover, Orochimaru's awareness is the highest among Konoha.

Jilai also pushed Dashewan with his arm, and said with a smile: "Oshewan, I didn't expect you to think so, since that's the case, would you like Immortal Toad to help you..."

Orochimaru said disgustedly: "You'd better have a good rest, Ziraiya."

Seeing Orochimaru's response, Sarutobi Hiruza couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, then coughed lightly and said, "If that's the case, then..."

"Wait a minute, three generations of adults."

Someone in the room suddenly interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, and the senior Shinobi turned their heads to look, and found that the person who spoke was Uchiha Fugaku, the patriarch of the Uchiha clan.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi felt a little bad in his heart, but he still asked, "Patriarch Fuyue, do you have any suggestions?"

"Yes, Lord Sandai, please give this opportunity to our Uchiha clan, and I promise to stop the conspiracy of Kirigakure Village."

Uchiha Fugaku said in a deep voice, he suddenly stood up and rushed to the battle, which surprised Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mitomon En, Nara Shikahisa and others.

"Master Orochimaru has just retired from the battlefield not long ago, and as a member of Konoha, the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, I have no chance to contribute to Konoha, please be sure to give me this opportunity to perform , I guarantee that I will never let the three generations of adults and the village down."

Sarutobi Hiruzen clenched his pipe slightly, but smiled at Uchiha Fugaku without changing his face: "Clan leader Fugaku, the security team is responsible for the safety of this village, and it doesn't have to be reflected on the battlefield..."

"But the village is very safe. If you can't contribute to the village, the Uchiha clan will be very unwilling. Please, Midai-sama."

Uchiha Fugaku said categorically, he has spoken to such an extent, if Sarutobi Hiruzen still refuses to agree, it is discriminating against the Uchiha clan.

At this time, Orochimaru also opened his mouth and said: "Since the patriarch Fuyue has the intention to contribute to the village, Sarutobi-sensei, you agree to him; if you need me on the battlefield, I will go to the front line at any time.

If Sarutobi-sensei, you are worried, then let Rotoki go with him. "

Everyone was slightly surprised when they heard Orochimaru's words. Is this for Senshou and Uchiha to join forces? However, they found that Uchiha Fugaku had no objection, and some people guessed that Orochimaru and Uchiha Fugaku might have communicated a long time ago.

Among those who guessed were Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Shikahisa Nara.
