"What should we do now? The Ninja Army was defeated and so many people were captured. How can we defend against Akatsuki's attack?"
"Has Hokage-sama really met with an accident?"
"Namikaze Minato! Since you can save Jiraiya, why don't you bring Hokage-sama back? I think you have a problem too!"
"Speaking of which, Akatsuki's leader, Senju Haru, is a member of the Senju Clan in the past. I don't believe that he really dares to attack Konoha!"
"I also feel that it makes sense. Since we are all on the same side, why can't we sit down and talk about it?"
"Yeah, maybe Hokage-sama is fine from the start!"
"Hehe, even this kind of self-deception is believed by someone. It's really funny! What kind of people are on the same side? Then why don't you just let Senju Haru hand over Akatsuki!"
"What are you saying! I only proposed this possibility, and is what I said not the truth? Isn't Senju Haru's surname Senju? Could it be that Konoha was not built by Senju Clan?"
"Now that I think about it, Konoha was built by Senju Clan? What did he do earlier? Ah! Don't you see that Konoha still has traces of Senju? Even Tsunade-sama left because he was dissatisfied with the village, and Uzumaki Clan was abandoned by us. Now he knows that he is afraid and wants to make connections, so he keeps calling Senju Clan. Isn't it disgusting?"
"You! I won't tell you!"
...
Land of Fire, Konoha.
At this time, in the huge conference room, a group of people were arguing!
Koharu, Homura and the other high-level leaders of Konoha were all present. As survivors, Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato were also there, and the leader of the major clans who hoped that they could contribute were also invited.
And just now, the one who could not help but mock everyone was a middle-aged man. His name was Kosuke Maruboshi, one of Tobirama's student.
Kosuke Maruboshi, this person, had once killed two of his companions because he was in a hurry to achieve success.
After that, he swore an oath to Tobirama that he would only endure for the rest of his life, which was why he was called "Eternal Genin". However, his true strength was the elite Jonin.
Moreover, Tobirama had personally taught him Water Release Ninjutsu and several sword techniques.
Later, when he went out on a mission with Sarutob Hiruzen, his left eye was blinded by the enemy, so that Sarutobi would always arrange some very simple tasks for him after he took over.
However, Kosuke Maruboshi did not accept Sarutob Hiruzen's sympathy. He even quarreled with Sarutob Hiruzen and Danzo many times because of the instructions left by Tobirama-sama.
In the end, just like Kagami, he was a little disheartened and gradually faded out of the people's vision.
However, at this moment of life and death crisis for Konoha, he had to find a way to unite all forces. Therefore, when he turned to bed, Koharu thought of his former companion and specially invited him over. He was also holding on to a one in ten thousand chance. What if this guy who was blind really had a little friendship with Senju Haru when he was a child?
However, who would have thought that the various strange suggestions they made during the meeting directly angered this former violent temper and directly burst out in anger!
It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with many things, especially about the matter of Senju and Uzumaki Clan.
But now that Sarutob Hiruzen's life and death were unknown, what was the point of arguing about this?
As Koharu turned to sleep, Homura and the other higher-ups of Konoha looked at him with ugly expressions, Kosuke Maruboshi closed his mouth in self-mockery.
"Jiraiya, you came down from the battlefield. What do you think Konoha should do now?"
The ball kicked over. Jiraiya looked up in disappointment. He wanted to say, "There's no way to save them. He was just waiting for death."
However, he never said it out loud. He tried to open his mouth a few times, but in the end, he lowered his head in silence.
Amegakure's crushing defeat again, and the death of two Sage, had really given him a great blow.
He finally realized the huge gap between him and Senju Haru!
That was not something a human could defeat. Perhaps that guy was right. If he was not a god, how could he change the four seasons with a wave of his hand and melt everything with one hand?
Therefore, it was useless. Even if all of Konoha's people joined forces, they would not be able to stop the other party.
This was a fact, but he could not say it. This undoubtedly made him very painful.
Moreover, the Toad Sage's prophecy seemed to have verified the future outcome. He did not even dare to take revenge for the two Sage. He directly closed Mount Myouboku. His attitude could be seen from Madara.
Therefore, Jiraiya's last hope was also shattered.
Seeing his dispirited appearance, Koharu and the others who had not seen the real situation of the battlefield could not help but reveal disappointed expressions.
After all, just based on the language description of Jiraiya and Minato, it was hard for them to imagine how exaggerated the battle situation would be!
Therefore, their impression of Akatsuki was still stuck in the Second Ninja War. Perhaps it would be stronger, but how much stronger could it be? It was nothing more than relying on Bijuu's advantage.
"What else is there to talk about? At worst, we will fight them! Konoha can't just die in our hands!"
"Yes, even if they defeat the Ninja Alliance Army, what can they do? I don't believe that Akatsuki has no casualties! In this situation, how much strength can the other side take out to attack us? With so many clan leaders here, Konoha's foundation is still there. It's not that we have no chance of winning!"
"That's true. I believe that the clan leaders will definitely not sit idly by."
Suddenly, for some reason, this rubber ball was kicked into the arms of Hyuga and the other big families, making their faces solemn and ugly. At the same time, it was not easy to speak.
At a time like this, who would dare to take the lead!
If the 15,000-strong Ninja Alliance Army was defeated, how could they be stronger than the Ninja Alliance Army?
Whoever took the lead was equivalent to the entire family being pushed up, they really couldn't afford to gamble!
But if they didn't say a word, that wouldn't do.
The enemy is almost at the door of their home, can they still avoid the battle?
"Sigh, it's not that my Hyuga Clan is unwilling to contribute and is afraid of death, but the real information has not been sent back yet. As for the exact result, Akatsuki's next move, whether Hokage-sama is still alive, whether he needs to be rescued or not, etc.. There are too many problems that need to be considered, and we can only deal with the situation. Therefore, I suggest that we wait for two more days and wait for the news to be sent back before making plans."
"However, I also make a statement here. As long as Konoha needs the help of my Hyuga Clan, we will definitely not refuse!"
Hyuga Clan Leader said with righteousness and decisiveness, and the other patriarchs around him echoed loudly!
On the other hand, the faces of Koharu and the other higher-ups of Konoha turned a little sour, because after talking so much, there was no dried goods at all.
There was only one big word in the whole chapter, drag!
A useful promise, which was also the last sentence, could be considered better than nothing.
However, since Hokage was gone, it was indeed impossible for them to order these families to send themselves to their deaths.
