Konoha Village.
In the Hokage's office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood by the window and looked down at the two photos in his hands.
One was a family portrait, with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Asuma Sarutobi, Biwako Sarutobi and Shinnosuke Sarutobi.
The other was taken by Orochimaru, Jiraya, Tsunade, and Hiruzen Sarutobi in the ninja team.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the person in the photo and sighed.
Now that he thought about it, it used to be so beautiful.
But why did it become like this?
His two sons had died, and his wife had broken up with him because of this. She stayed in the sealed room all day, using high-intensity work to numb herself.
Orochimaru was dead, Tsunade and Jiraya became rebels, and they were wanted by him.
Why did this world suddenly target him? It seemed that everything was deliberately against him.
Everything seemed to have changed from the moment he met that little fellow.
Uchiha Tunan.
This name became more and more profound in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart.
At first, he only thought that he was a loyal trash, but after his innate talent awakened, he planned to cultivate him into a loyal tool.
At that time, everything was fine.
It seemed that all the turning points were because he had neglected him, causing him to feel jealous and kill Shinnosuke.
It was as if he was a heartless scissors, cutting off all the fetters around him, until he was the only one left.
Sometimes, Hiruzen Sarutobi also thought that if Uchiha Tunan continued like this, it might not be too bad.
However, after Tsunade, Uchiha Tunan seemed to be completely disappointed in him.
The target of his spiritual sustenance had actually become Danzo.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had tried to persuade him to stay before, but Uchiha Tunan seemed to have changed into a different person and was indifferent to his persuasion.
This made Hiruzen Sarutobi have a feeling that he had lost his wife and lost his soldiers.
However, now that things had come to this, Hiruzen Sarutobi decided not to be so hesitant.
Shinnosuke, Asuma, Orochimaru, Jiraya, Tsunade, just you wait.
I have made enough arrangements. Even if that guy doesn't die on the battlefield, he will be dragged to the point of losing his sight by the side effects.
The day he completely loses his sight will be the day I take revenge for you.
"Bang!"
At this moment, the door of the office was violently pushed open.
Danzo aggressively led Koharu and Homura into the office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi slipped the photo into his pocket.
He turned around and glanced at the angry Danzo and the two silent consultants.
Danzo reached out and slammed his palm on the table, shouting:
"Hiruzen! Do you know what you are doing?"
Do you really want to destroy Konoha?
Hiruzen Sarutobi shot a cold glance at Danzo and slowly returned to his seat.
He picked up the pipe on the table and lit it. He took a puff of smoke and said,
"Danzo, are you questioning my arrangements?"
Pay attention to your tone.
Don't forget, I am the Hokage!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's last sentence seemed to be a little heavy.
In front of him, Koharu and Homura lowered their heads in fear.
Danzo smiled and nodded,
Well, then explain.
Why did you send Minato and Jounin to reinforce the eastern front?
The eastern front has Uchiha Clan, and they are short of people to monitor the coastline.
Are you going to let Minato and a group of elite Jounin stand guard on the beach?
The northern front is lacking a high-end fighting force that can resist the 3rd Raikage and Jinchuriki, but you sent a large number of ordinary Ninjas to support them.
You clearly know how serious the side effects of Uchiha Tunan are.
But you didn't send any reinforcements. I think you want to take revenge.
You deliberately pushed Konoha into the fire pit.
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a light peck on the cigarette and did not reply.
Instead, he shifted his gaze to Koharu and Homura.
Under the pressure of Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze, Koharu and Homura had no choice but to speak
"Hiruzen, I also feel that this strategic plan is a little inappropriate."
"Have you been too tired from your work recently and reversed the two front lines when you issued the order?"
As a politician, Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally would not expose such obvious evidence in the eyes of others.
No matter what you do, you have to think of a way out.
Any order has to be reasonable and reliable, so that people can't find fault with it.
Hiruzen Sarutobi spat out a mouthful of smoke and shook the smoke.
"I have my own plans. Since you have asked, I will tell you."
As he spoke, he took out a roll of map from the drawer and spread it out on the table.
We are separated from the Water Nation by the sea, and there is no way for us to fight normally.
If the other party wanted to start a war, they would have to send an advance force to land and defend a coast.
Then the logistics personnel would build the base.
However, we also know that the coastline is too long. No matter how many people we send, it will be extremely difficult to defend.
Instead, it will waste a lot of troops.
Of course, Konoha was not the only one with difficulty, and the same was true for Hidden Mist.
Because Hidden Mist wanted to arrive by boat, one or two ships would definitely not be enough.
Because of the waves and waves in the sea, these ships could not get too close, otherwise it would be very easy to bump into each other.
Therefore, most of their ships were scattered, not meeting each other, and headed towards the same destination.
Danzo lowered his eyes, observing the layout on the map, and said in a low voice, "We all know this, so what?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath, put the pipe aside, and pointed to a place on the map.
You should all know their stronghold on the sea. It was in the former site of the Land of Water.
However, the Land of Lightning was still too far away from the coast.
It was still very difficult for them to attack.
However, according to the latest intelligence, they were secretly sending out ninjas to sneak into the Land of Water.
Moreover, they had started to build a new base in the Land of Water.
As you know, the location of the Land of Water is only a few kilometers away from the land.
As long as we choose a peaceful day, ordinary Chuunin can directly go through the strait.
Danzo raised his eyebrows and said doubtfully: "So the purpose of sending Minato and the others is to snipe the Mist Ninjas of the Water Country."
When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Danzo coming in, he smiled proudly and picked up the pipe.
He leaned back in his seat, smoking as he said leisurely,
Not only that, we have to build a base near the location of the Land of Water and the Land of Lightning.
We have to push the battlefield outside the Land of Fire.
If possible, we can take advantage of this war to chase Hidden Mist Village out of the former site of the Land of Lightning.
Then for a long time in the future, we won't have to worry about Hidden mist's actions anymore.
As soon as he finished speaking, Homura and Koharu's eyes lit up, and they said,
"Danzo, I don't think there is any problem with the strategy of Hiruzen."
Even if Minato and the others went to the north, the battle was just a stalemate.
Yes, we were all in the wrong before. We wanted to defeat Hidden Cloud first and then defend against Hidden Mist.
But Hiruzen is a little farther than we thought. We can directly occupy the former site of the Land of Lightning.
This way, Hidden Mist will no longer be a threat to us.
When the time comes, Konoha will be able to make full use of its power and focus on Hidden Cloud.
Danzo felt that something was wrong, frowning as he stared at the map for a long time.
After a long time, Danzo's eyes narrowed, and he found the problem. He immediately looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said:
The strategy is right, but you ignored a fatal problem, which is the strength of the two sides.
The former site of the Land of Lightning was not so easy to reclaim, and the environment there was not good for Konoha's Ninjas.
What's more, the number of troops on the eastern front was the least of the three.
And...
Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hand and interrupted Danzo.
He leaned forward slightly and said meaningfully,
"That position is very important for Konoha. It's worth it to make some sacrifices."
As soon as this sentence was said, Danzo immediately understood.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was forcing Uchiha's clan to fight against Misty.
No matter what the result was, the vitality of Uchiha's clan would be greatly damaged, and Uchiha Tunan probably wouldn't have a good time either.
This way, Hiruzen Sarutobi's goal had been achieved.
The evil Uchiha clan...
Danzo hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still had the upper hand against Uchiha's clan.
As for Uchiha Tunan's problem, he could inform him privately and let him protect himself.
He immediately turned around and walked out the door without hesitation. At the same time, he said coldly,
You are the Hokage. Since you have sufficient reasons, I will not stop you.
But you have to be responsible for everything you have done.
"I will keep an eye on you."
"Hu ---"
After Danzo and the other two left, Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a long sigh of relief.
This decision was indeed very risky, but if they didn't do so, it would depend on Uchiha Tunan's achievements.
After the war, with the support of the Uchiha clan, he would definitely be able to occupy a huge authority in Konoha.
And he was on the side of Danzo.
In this way, his position would be lost.
Konoha, my Konoha.
After a long time, Hiruzen Sarutobi took out the battle report from the north battle line from his drawer.
The more he flipped through, the more he frowned.
What were these fellows doing? The opportunity was already in their hands, yet they still didn't make a move.
What was the use of contracting the defense line every day to assassinate?
It was clear that as long as a few strong people attacked Uchiha Tunan and killed him, he would be able to smoothly take back the Tang Country's camp.
Why didn't they attack?
Did they think that Konoha had a backup plan?
As Hiruzen Sarutobi thought of this, an idea emerged in his mind.
After a long time, he heard Hiruzen Sarutobi say in a low voice,
"Someone come."
An Anbu opened the door, came to Hiruzen Sarutobi and knelt on one knee, "Hokage Sama."
Hiruzen Sarutobi put a scroll on the table and said, "deliberately disclose this information to the spy."
Anbu immediately got up, put the scroll into the ninja bag, and nodded heavily, "Yes."
During the war, the wrong information had always been used by the big Ninja Village.
This Dark Group thought that it was the same this time.
But he never thought that this scroll recorded the ability of Uchiha Tunan's Mangekyo, as well as the side effects...
