NABC Chapter 147 Tricky Post-War Trouble!
Chapter 147 Tricky Post-War Trouble!
It is no exaggeration to say that nearly a third of Konoha's total military strength was killed in battle.
Most of them were commoner ninjas, or even newly promoted ninjas.
It cannot damage the foundation of the clan's ninjas.
However, the exaggerated figures dealt a severe blow to the village's morale.
Hiruzen Sarutobi really wanted to capture Danzo Shimura and give him a good scolding.
I want to solve the problem of too many civilian ninjas.
But this isn't the way to solve it!
"Yes! The situation on the battlefield is not good, we must send reinforcements quickly!" The impatient Koharu Utatane immediately stood up, "The Third Kazekage of Sunagakure has entered the fray, which means Sunagakure is about to collapse!"
"If we seize this opportunity, we might be able to quickly end a battle."
"Force Sunagakure to sign a peace treaty, and then focus on dealing with Iwagakure and Kirigakure."
Yuki listened with great interest.
This analysis isn't too wrong, but without sufficient information, no amount of analysis will be of any use.
The Grassland Defense Line, commanded by Danzo Shimura, suffered enormous losses!
“I know Orochimaru’s talent. After more than a year of training, his strength must have greatly improved.” Tsunade directly refuted, showing her trust in Orochimaru. “On the other hand, Kirigakure’s harassment of the eastern coastline is more dangerous for the village.”
Those who don't know the truth might easily think that Tsunade is too self-serving when they hear these words.
Who doesn't know that the eastern side is the territory of the Land of Whirlpools?
Who doesn't know that some of the Senju clan's ninjas have been stationed in the Land of Whirlpools?
Jiraiya was bewildered. What was going on?
Koharu Utatane wants to support Orochimaru, but Tsunade disagrees.
Reverse Tian Gang? !
Has Tsunade also fallen?
Only concerned with interests, not with feelings?
He didn't understand, and could only scratch his head anxiously, waiting for the higher-ups to make a decision.
At the start of the meeting, Jiraiya was able to say a few words, out of respect for the Hokage.
"Tsunade, you're being too conservative!" Koharu Utatane retorted, "Three battlefields are an unbearable burden for the village!"
Yuki remained silent, but seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself.
He gave Yuuki a few sharp looks, and Yuuki returned them with an innocent and clear gaze.
Helpless, Tsunade could only give Hiruzen Sarutobi a look.
Didn't you tell this old woman how dangerous the other two battlefields were?
Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't understand it, and even if he did, he could only say, 'I really didn't tell you.'
The intention behind not telling Xiaochun was good.
To protect Xiaochun, who was transferring to another dormitory.
The village's missions and intelligence have different levels of confidentiality.
Koharu Utatane, who has no specific job title, would be taking on unnecessary risks if she learned of this confidential information.
I never expected something like this to happen!
Akimichi Torifu and Mitokado Homura noticed the exchange of glances between Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
They had some understanding of the troubles of the three-way battlefield, but they didn't really know the specific data.
The two exchanged a glance and tacitly calmed down Xiaochun, who had just turned to her new room.
"Everyone is right, but things can change in an instant on the battlefield. The specific situation still needs the Hokage to make a decision."
"The opening of three battlefields is only a matter of time. They have all provoked war, and we must be prepared to deal with them simultaneously."
Hiruzen Sarutobi descended the steps and immediately declared, "Everyone, we cannot afford to be complacent. We must be prepared for the outbreak of war at all times, and I hope that each family will respond proactively."
"Send elite troops to the battlefield to contribute to the village!"
He looked at Akimichi Torifu: "The medical department needs to cooperate actively."
He then looked at Mitokado Homura: "The logistics department can't have any problems either!"
"understand!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi repeated his inspiring words, extolling the Will of Fire.
Everyone dispersed to prepare for war.
No concrete support plan was produced by the end of the meeting.
Hiruzen Sarutobi called to Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, and together they returned to the office.
The Hokage's office.
"Hehe, look at the good thing Danzo has done!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi forcefully slammed a stack of scrolls onto the table.
The meeting has concluded, and there is no longer any need for excessive concealment.
As long as the family goes to the battlefield, they will eventually discover Shimura Danzo's foolish command!
Koharu selectively picked up a few scrolls, which recorded rows of the number of ninjas lost.
These numbers, taken individually, are utterly insignificant.
Mitokado, who is sensitive to numbers, did a quick calculation by adding up the numbers on the main scrolls and was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth!
"Five thousand ninjas! What exactly did Danzo do? Five thousand ninjas were killed or wounded!"
My head is buzzing from Mitokaku inflammation!
Although he was adept at playing both sides and jumping around, he still had deep feelings for the village, and five thousand ninjas died in battle without any explanation!
In the Land of Rain, he only killed a thousand ninjas!
Danzo Shimura, you're incredibly audacious!
"Casualties? Hmph! Under Danzo's command, the death toll has been confirmed to exceed five thousand!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, unusually, slammed his fist on the table in anger towards the two of them!
This is no small matter; it's a matter that could destroy Konoha!
In other words, Tsunade was sensible and did not reveal the information in advance!
If someone with ulterior motives were to exploit this weakness, the village would be in serious trouble!
Especially the thoughts of the various ninja clans!
It's inevitable that people's hearts will be unsettled!
The village's former assistant elder, with a single battlefield command, killed five thousand people!
Several hundred of them were clan ninjas, specifically clan ninjas under the Hokage's command!
If he can even harm his own people, let alone outsiders like them who don't side with the Hokage!
After providing support to the Land of Whirlpools, I'll also take the opportunity to inquire about the Uzumaki family.
Good guy!
You don't even spare the village elders, the Senju clan, and their allies!
and also.
The Konoha leadership has always maintained a wary attitude towards the Uchiha.
We agreed to target the Uchiha clan and prevent them from going to the battlefield.
As a result, the Uchiha clan rose again from its decline.
The clan meeting a few days ago was a grand affair with over a thousand ninjas!
Other families were also badly scammed?
Are you putting on an act with the Uchiha?
If these three things are exposed together, which family would dare to send its elite troops?
Who would even dare to go to the battlefield?
"Hiruzen, Danzo, he..."
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado opened their mouths to try and persuade Hiruzen Sarutobi, saying that Danzo did not do it on purpose.
But I just can't bring myself to say it!
Five thousand ninjas!
Even five thousand ninja pigs wouldn't be so easy to slaughter, would they?
"Ugh!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand, saying those perfunctory words were meaningless.
"The key is not now, but what follows!"
"This kind of thing can't be suppressed!"
"How are you going to give us an explanation?!"
"Putting everything else aside, the Aburame and Inuzuka families have lost over seventy elite members. Do you really think they'll just give up the pursuit?"
Mitokado sighed, while Koharu turned to the next room and frowned.
Inuzuka and Aburame were never from any prominent family.
Each family's ninjas, both openly and secretly, probably number no more than two hundred.
Losing 20% at once, who can withstand that?
