Capítulo 39: Reinforcement
"Sakumo asked for additional manpower, what do you think?"
In the meeting room in the Hokage Building, Third Hokage Sarutobi mentioned Sakumo's request for additional manpower.
"With your strength, isn't it enough to deal with the enemies lurking in the Land of Fire?"
Koharu frowned, obviously not satisfied with Sakumo's request for more staff.
"The opponents are two elite jōnin in the puppet army hidden in the sand. There are three other jōnin on the team, and one of them will use a large-scale ground escape technique."
"But there's no direct evidence to prove he was an Iwagakure ninja,"
said Koharu.
Hiruzen squeezed the pipe in his hand and said, "I don't think Ōnoki will do anything at this point. I cannot conclude this matter because there is no quest change in Iwagakure."
Consultant Homura looked at Sarutobi.
"So when the third Kazekage left, I sat in the village to prevent other villages from entering and making the battlefield more chaotic."
"So what are you going to do? We can't believe the Uchiha security team. Danzo is leading the roots and carrying out covert missions now, and he's not in the village. It's already extremely risky for us to stay in the village with just two Anbu units." ."
Homura's eyes revealed the meaning of the question.
"Homura is right. Before, if there were crises, it would be three Anbu teams. Now, we only have two teams to support the village, if we send reinforcements now, we will be vulnerable."
Koharu also has no sense of trust in the Uchiha.
"The Uchiha clan is also a member of Konoha. We shouldn't be prejudiced against them."
Hiruzen continued to spew a smoke ring, his expression solemn.
Handing over the garrison work to the Uchiha clan was an arrangement made by their late teacher, the Second Hokage.
There are many reasons for this. On the one hand, out of fear, on the other, he wants to limit Uchiha's power to the security team.
Because of the garrison's work, only the Uchiha clan has this ability.
The Uchiha Security Team's work problems are notable. While there are indeed some people with abnormal brains who like to cause trouble, there is also some Uchiha ninja who want to maintain Konoha's internal law and order.
Hiruzen felt that he couldn't kill everyone with a stick.
Furthermore, his teacher also wanted to fully integrate the Uchiha clan into Konoha, rather than exclude them.
It's a shame that when the first Ninja War broke out, his teacher died on the battlefield, causing the Uchiha's affairs to cease.
Everyone can only consume it in these years.
With his efforts, the relationship has improved, but there hasn't been much substantial progress.
"Kagami is Kagami, Uchiha is Uchiha, and they exist at different levels. Among the Uchiha, many Uchiha ninja inherits Uchiha Madara's radical thoughts. People of this race are potentially dangerous."
After all, the consultants don't believe in the Uchiha, that is, they don't believe in the Uchiha ninja who has the power to awaken the Sharingan.
"Then make a deal, and separate the secret parts of the two classes. Only by getting rid of the rats in the land of fire, Sakumo can go to the battlefield and counter the sand."
"But..."
"If there is anything abnormal with the Uchiha, I will personally take steps to resolve the chaos so that you can feel at ease."
Hiruzen had a powerful aura that could not be offended, even Homura and Koharu felt unprecedented pressure.
That bone confidence is deeply written on Hiruzen's face.
"Sarutobi, you said that you have no choice but to do it."
"Uchiha affairs should not be taken lightly. They are a naturally evil race and must be guarded at all times."
In the end, Homura and Koharu remembered Hiruzen, and then temporarily put the Uchiha issue aside.
"Also, the supplies sent to the front lines in the village are insufficient. Koharu and I need to go to the Daimyō Mansion to discuss with Daimyō and collect supplies there."
Homura and Koharu looked at each other and then talked.
"Not enough supplies again?"
"Yes, medical supplies are the most lacking, but the charging pill is enough."
"Go early and come back early."
Any ninja leaving the village needs the Hokage's permission. Even the consultants need to obtain the Hokage's handwriting before they can leave the village. Otherwise, they will not comply with the rules, they can be considered rebels.
Homura and Koharu took the handwritten notes that they could leave Hiruzen village and left the meeting room.

An outpost in the northern part of Konoha, about twenty Konoha ninja are guarding it, which can be used as a temporary supply post for Team Sakumo.
Fortunately, there is a simple infirmary in this sentry.
Shiraishi carried the severely wounded Konoha ninja on her back and went to the new sentry's ward to rest.
Although he still appears unconscious, he is out of danger.
There, Ruri and Ayane traded with the Konoha ninja on the sentry and obtained supplies, food, water, and medical supplies.
Before long, Baishi and others were ready.
Sakumo placed the scroll in his hand and said, "There is good news. Master Hokage has agreed to send additional aid and is an expert in the investigation. But we cannot relax here. Since the supply is ready, we will go immediately."
"Yea!"
The three responded and followed Sakumo to take action again.
They are currently in the south-central part of the fire country, and the next route to take is east of the fire country.
It is adjacent to neighboring Yunokuni, a country famous for its hot springs.
If it's not during the war, you can go there and have fun. For now, the task is still the most important.
After patrolling for two consecutive days, I didn't notice anything unusual, and I didn't even see the shadow of the ninja hiding in the sand.
But thinking this is the countryside of the fire country, the ninja hiding in the sand shouldn't be stupid enough to do damage here, of course, with the mindset of just in case, the serious Sakumo won't abandon a region.
On the third day, when the backpack's supplies ran out, they went to the nearest Konoha outpost to buy new supplies.
"It's amazing to come out so young to carry out such a dangerous mission with Sakumo."
The captain of this sentry is a well-known jōnin from Konoha, a mature man in his thirties, and he sighed in emotion at the sight of their immature faces.
"Our help is very little, and we often need Professor Sakumo to take care of it."
Shiraishi maintained a humble demeanor.
"I know Sakumo's character. If you don't get his approval, he will never violate his principles and push you to undertake this dangerous task. In other words, his strength allows him to approve of them. He is such a man, who loves his companions."
This Konoha Shinobu seemed to remember something.
"Does Senior know Mr. Sakumo?"
"I've done errands with him. Back then, he seemed cold, but he was a very gentle person and easily shy. To the enemy, he was a cold-blooded white tooth from Konoha, and to his people a trusted companion. "
"Turns out Professor Sakumo used to be such a person."
The three can only guess like this.
"Take, what weird things are you instilling in my students again?"
Sakumo approached at this time.
"It's just a ninja experience as a veteran," Take said.
"By the way, this guy is a pervert."
Sakumo said this abruptly.
Ruri and Ayane instantly looked at the vigilant Take and walked away.
"Hey!"
"--Especially for men."
Shiraishi's smile hardened when he saw that Take was the closest to him.
Ruri and Ayane breathed a sigh of relief, and then everything was fine.
Just then, on the other side of the sentry, a severely injured Konoha ninja appeared. After a few steps, he fell.
"Careful, there are...enemies..."
