Less Power Less Responsibility

What did the daimyo hear, and why did he suddenly become frightened?

"What happened, Lord Daimyo?" Jiraiya felt something was wrong and asked quickly.

Plop.

The daimyo sat back on his chair and answered Jiraiya in a trembling voice:

"The four kingdoms of wind, earth, water, and rain all followed closely behind the Kingdom of Thunder and declared war on the Kingdom of Fire..."

What? !

Upon hearing the news, everyone in Konoha, like the daimyo, looked extremely horrified.

If the only enemy is Kumogakure, Konoha may still be able to deal with it, but if the entire ninja world comes together...

Why?

How come all of a sudden, all the countries in the ninja world declare war on the Land of Fire and Konoha at the same time?

Is it because of the civil strife in Konoha?

But speaking of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, It also happened once six years ago, which also resulted in the death of both the Fourth Hokage and the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

Under such circumstances, Konoha relied on its strong strength and foundation to still frighten the major ninja villages and prevent them from invading.

The civil strife this time.

The difference from last time was that it caused the Uchiha clan to run away from Konoha.

However, just because the Uchiha clan is missing, the major ninja villages feel that Konoha is in trouble, and they actually attack Konoha in droves?

Uchiha, is it that important?

When everyone was shocked and speechless, the conference room fell silent.

"It seems that the neighbors around the Fire Country have a tacit understanding." Dan muttered to himself.

The Land of Fire is not only vast in territory, but also has a superior geographical environment. It occupies the most fertile plain land in the entire ninja world, as well as vast forests and numerous rivers.

The surrounding countries are either deserts, mountains or islands. Compared with the Country of Fire, they are not superior.

All major countries understand that there is nothing to compete for in each other's territory, so it is better to attack the Country of Fire together.

The huge Fire Country is enough for everyone to divide and feed everyone.

So.

This time, Konoha will be besieged by the major ninja villages again, oh, this time there is also Amegakure.

After a while.

The daimyo finally regained some composure. He asked Jiraiya through the TV screen:

"Is Konoha confident of winning this war? Konoha has won every previous ninja war, right? Konoha is the strongest ninja village, right?"

As the Daimyo says.

Every time a ninja war breaks out, Konoha almost always faces a one-to-many situation.

Especially during the Third Ninja War, Konoha fought on four fronts and fought against the four major ninja villages at the same time, and finally won.

The title of the strongest ninja village in the ninja world is well deserved.

But now, facing the daimyo's expectations, Jiraiya looked perplexed.

The once prosperous Konoha might have had the confidence to speak out about one against four.

Today's Konoha, though?

Even leaving aside the four major ninja villages.

Even Amegakure tore up the peace agreement signed not long ago and started a war with Konoha. In Jiraiya's opinion, the strength of Nagato and Akatsuki is not inferior to that of any great ninja village.

​That is to say.

This time, Konoha is actually facing the siege of the five great ninja villages. The situation can be said to be unprecedentedly severe.

Under such circumstances, Jiraiya really didn't have the confidence to lead Konoha to win this war.

Therefore, as the quasi-Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya thought about it carefully, and finally could only say to the daimyo:

"Konoha will make every effort to fight this war, and I will fight until the last moment with the consciousness of sacrificing my life."

However.

The daimyo was obviously not satisfied with Jiraiya's answer.

"What does it mean to try your best? As Hokage, is this the answer you give me?"

He was a little anxious, and raised his voice and roared at Jiraiya.

If Konoha loses this ninja war, the Fire Nation will also lose. At that time, the compensation for ceding territory will be light, and the destruction of the country and the extinction of the people is not impossible.

So how could the Daimyo not panic?

At this time.

The daimyo suddenly noticed the calm-looking Uchiha Dan, so as if he was grasping at a life-saving straw, he quickly asked the latter:

"Uchiha Dan, you are the Hokage's assistant. Is there anything you can do? I heard that your strength is no worse than the fourth generation Namikaze Minato. Can you defeat the ninja alliance like he did back then?"

The reason why Konoha was able to win the Third Ninja War was that Namikaze Minato, who rose as a civilian ninja, definitely took the greatest credit.

At the beginning.

The Fourth Generation used the Flying Thunder God Technique and Rasengan across the battlefield, defeated Kumogakure's Anbu team, instantly killed dozens of Iwagakure ninjas, blew up the Kannabi Bridge... and made countless contributions.

The name of Yellow Flash resounded across the battlefield, frightening the four major ninja villages and making countless enemies frightened and run away when they saw him.

It can be said that the fourth generation turned the tide on his own and became a hero of that era.

Back to the present.

The Daimyo also hopes that Uchiha Dan can be like Namikaze Minato, using his powerful strength to defeat all enemies that come to invade the Land of Fire.

"Well..."

After hearing the words, Dan touched his chin, seeming to be seriously considering it.

For a time, not only the daimyo, but also all the Konoha ninjas in the conference room all turned their attention to Dan.

Although they don't want to admit it, it is an indisputable fact that Dan's strength is unfathomable.

If it were him, he might really become the second Namikaze Minato.

"Dan, please."

The Sandaime's eyes flashed, and he followed the daimyo's statement and tried to put the frame up.

Koharu and Homura also agreed one after another.

Seeing that Dan still hesitating, Daimyo's eyes flashed and he said directly:

"As long as you can do what the Yondaime did back then, I will let Jiraiya step down and let you be the Hokage."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

But no one refuted it.

On the one hand, this is the opinion of the daimyo.

On the other hand, everyone realizes that now is not the timefor politics, and repelling the enemy is the most important thing.

Otherwise, if Konoha falls, what's the point of who is the Hokage?

After hearing what the daimyo said, Jiraiya took a deep breath and took the initiative to express his stance to Dan, saying sincerely:

"Dan, as long as you are willing to fight for Konoha and the Country of Fire, I will be the first to support you in becoming Hokage."

After saying that, everyone was waiting for Dan's answer.

Facing the expectations of a room full of people.

"well."

Dan sighed, shook his head and said, "Sorry. I think we should surrender as soon as possible."

Surrender?

The word that came out of his mouth undoubtedly poured cold water on everyone present.

"What, you want to surrender again?"

The third generation blurted out.

Why do you say it again?

Because the last time a war broke out between Konoha and Amegakure, Dan advocated surrender at a high-level meeting. He was extremely afraid of Nagato, the leader of Akatsuki, and did not dare to go to the battlefield to fight.

Koharu and Homura came back to their senses, frowned, and criticized Dan one after another:

"Uchiha Dan, many villagers say that you are just a coward. It seems that they are not wrong at all."

"Being cruel at home and tolerant to away, is this what you, the Hokage's assistant, are capable of?"

The daimyo was also angry and roared again:

"I spent so much money to support you just to make you Konoha ninjas surrender to the enemy? Uchiha Dan, I will give you another chance to take back what you just said!"

However.

Dan is unrepentant and continues to badmouth its own side:

"Everyone, do you...haven't seen the situation clearly yet?

Konoha may not even be able to deal with Amegakure. Did you forget so quickly that the three thousand troops sent by the Sandaime were slaughtered by the opponent overnight?

Not to mention, in addition to Amegakure, there are also the coalition forces of the four major ninja villages. Their combined number is several times that of Konoha.

They attacked from all directions at the same time, and it was impossible for Konoha to stop them.

So I think it's better to surrender as soon as possible and use territory as compensation to make peace to avoid unnecessary casualties. Otherwise, it would be better to disband Konoha and run for your own lives. "

"shut up!"

The daimyo shouted angrily, deciding that Dan was deceiving the public and disrupting the morale of the army with his lies, and immediately ordered angrily, "Uchiha Dan, I want to remove you from your position as Hokage's assistant, get out of here immediately!"

Unexpectedly.

"OK."

Dan readily agreed and said, "I really don't have the ability to serve as Hokage's assistant.

"As the saying goes, the smaller the ability, the smaller the responsibility. Now that I have become a civilian, I am free from responsibilities. The important responsibility of protecting Konoha is left to everyone present.

Hahaha! "

Amid a burst of hearty laughter, Duan turned around and strode out of the conference room.

Only everyone in the room was left, looking at each other again.

"Prepare for war immediately and mobilize all ninjas in Konoha! No matter men, women, old or young, send them to the frontline battlefield. We must resist the ninja coalition until the last one is dead!"

The daimyo roared angrily and gave Konoha a death order.

As soon as he finished speaking, before Jiraiya and others could respond, a burst of snowflakes appeared on the TV screen and the screen was cut off.

In the conference room, there was silence for a long time, and no one spoke.

The air pressure was extremely low, making people breathless.

at last.

It was Jiraiya, the acting-Hokage, who spoke solemnly:

"Everyone has heard what the Daimyo said. This will be a battle of life and death for Konoha. We have no choice but to fight the enemy to the end. Please be prepared."

Immediately afterwards, the Sandaime also spoke to boost morale:

"Don't forget, everyone, in every ninja war in the past, no matter how serious the situation was, it was Konoha who had the last laugh.

The major ninja villages actually think that Konoha will become vulnerable if it loses the Uchiha clan. We must let them know that this idea is completely wrong! "

Koharu and Homura also said:

"Although the battlefield is dangerous, it is also a good opportunity to make achievements. Think of the Konoha Sannin during World War II and Namikaze Minato during World War III. As long as you work hard to fight for the village, the next Konoha hero will be among you!"

The embarrassing thing is.

This time, in the face of the mobilization of Konoha's top management, everyone's response was not enthusiastic at all, only flashing eyes and whispers.

It sounds nice, but in reality, isn't it just letting them be cannon fodder?

No one is stupid.

After a while.

The clan leaders of the three clans InoShikaCho looked at each other and turned away first.

"Let's go."

Hyuga Hiashi said in a deep voice, and the members of the Hyuga clan walked out of the meeting room expressionlessly.

Other small and medium-sized ninja clans also left one after another with their own thoughts.

Only the Sandaime and other senior officials were left, looking stunned.

A Konoha that is centrifugal from top to bottom.

The ending is already determined.

When Dan walked out of the Hokage Building, he found that thousands of Konoha ninjas and civilians were still gathered nearby and did not disperse.

These people originally came to witness Jiraiya becoming the Fifth Hokage, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

At this time, the crowd had begun to talk about it.

"Thats Uchiha Dan."

Until someone shouted, countless eyes suddenly focused on Duan.

"Ahem."

Dan cleared his throat, looked at the people in Konoha in front of him, smiled and said to them, "Let me tell you some good news. I have been dismissed by the daimyo and no longer serve as the Hokage's assistant."

Really?

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all looked happy.

"Uchiha Dan is used to being arrogant. He must have offended the daimyo to be dismissed. He deserves it."

"Your Majesty is so wise!"

"But why is Uchiha Dan still laughing and saying this is good news? Hasn't he been dismissed?"

Various voices came from the crowd.

"Oh, by the way, there's another piece of bad news."

Dan made a gesture to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said, "The four major ninja villages, together with Amegakure, have declared war on Konoha. The army has already pressed on. Everyone, prepare early and go to the front line to die."

Finished.

Then he strode away in silence.

A few seconds later, the crowd in front of the Hokage Building exploded with a buzz.

Then, with panic and fear on everyone's faces, the news quickly spread throughout the entire Konoha Village.

The land of the Uchiha clan.

When Dan returned to the Body modification department, he found that Tsunade had returned to her room after sleeping and was practicing Yin Escape Phantasmal Technique in the dojo.

"Why is there so much noise outside? What happened?"

When she saw Dan, she stopped and walked over, asking with a surprised look on her face.

Dan told the truth.

"How so..."

Tsunade murmured to herself, also looking shocked.

She had thought that the civil strife in Konoha might attract the covetousness of other ninja villages.

But what she didn't expect was that the four major ninja villages and Amegakure would declare war on Konoha together, with the potential to divide Konoha.

This time, Konoha is really in danger.

"Are you planning to join the war?" Dan asked suddenly.

Tsunade was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

Although she wants to stay away from the dispute, when the ninja alliance arrives at the door of Konoha's house, she may not be able to stay out of it and will have to fight.

"how about you?"

She looked at Dan and asked, and immediately realized that her question was unnecessary.

After all, with Tsunade's understanding of Dan, asking him to throw his life and blood for Konoha would be a waste of time.

Not to mention, he has now been dismissed from the position of Hokage's assistant by the daimyo, and he no longer has the obligation to fight for Konoha.

Sure enough.

"Me? Of course I have to live my life well and just keep this building. As for the future of Konoha, leave it to the Sandaime and Jiraiya. You have to believe in the wisdom of the superiors."

Dan said with a smile.

Next.

Under Tsunade's surprised gaze, Dan suddenly took out a glass container containing organ preservation fluid, and saw an eyeball floating in it.

That's Obito's left eye.

"Stop other things for a moment. I want to ask you to transplant this eye into my body."

As Dan said, he handed the container to Tsunade and raised his left hand.

Showing his palms.
