What follows is a normal pre-war meeting.
Jiraiya didn't deliberately ask any more questions.
After all, Lord Tobirama has much more experience on the battlefield than he does.
Although he died a bit in the end...
But his strategic ability is still nothing to say.
And, as arranged.
This time he will still stay in Konoha, there is no need for him to go out with the army.
Naturally, there is no need to go too deep, just be a listener with peace of mind.
Soon, the entire combat plan was finalized.
Everyone in the office also left one after another and began to prepare.
After all, this is no small incident.
But a big battle that can determine the future of Konoha!
There is no room for sloppiness...
…
After everyone left.
Outside the office door, Jiraiya took Tsunade and found the Master Ci Xian.
Thanks again.
"Master Cixian, thank you for what happened last time!"
"Thank you, Master."
The arrogant Tsunade also expressed her rare sincere thanks.
Ci Xian politely returned the greeting with his hands clasped together, looking like an eminent monk.
"You're welcome, the poor monk is now one of Konoha's advisors, so there's no need to be polite."
Jiraiya smiled happily and asked:
"I heard that this plan was proposed by the master?"
"Yes."
Ci Xian nodded and did not deny it.
"why?"
"I heard from Master Dilu that Master Cixian has never liked fame and wealth, and has never fought for power and wealth. Why did he take the initiative to join this time?"
"And you came up with such a sharp plan?"
Facing Jiraiya's question, Ci Xian did not hide it and said frankly:
"The world is a movement, and the world is a direction; people in the world are born and destroyed."
"Whether it's war or peace, the future of all sentient beings should be decided by themselves."
"But if someone tries to resurrect the gods and peeps at the power of the gods with a mortal body, it will definitely bring about a catastrophe that will destroy the world!"
"The poor monk had no choice but to intervene..."
Jiraiya was stunned.
I immediately figured it out.
In his opinion, Master Cixian was the kind of true eminent monk who could see through the world of mortals.
In the past, no matter how hard the ninja world fought and how chaotic it was.
It's all still within control, so he naturally doesn't need to take action.
But now Madara Uchiha actually wants to resurrect the gods and steal the power of gods.
If he really succeeded, it would be a world-destroying catastrophe.
Only then did he have to take action to help Konoha and proposed this plan.
"I see."
"Master Gaoyi!"
Jiraiya sighed with emotion and had a little more admiration for this Master Ci Xian.
Of course, he didn't know.
Ci Xian took the initiative to propose this plan.
The conspiracy to defeat the [Akatsuki] organization is false.
Trying to prevent Uchiha Madara from resurrecting Kaguya is his real purpose!
It's all bureaus here.
And Konoha was just a knife he used.
"Just do your best for the world and all sentient beings."
Ci Xian responded humbly.
Still acting like a monk.
"Thank you, Master. I hope it will succeed this time."
"I hope so."
Both parties returned the greeting again and then left.
After all, Tsunade can now serve as the head of the [Medical Department].
The war is ahead, and there are many things that need to be prepared.
Jiraiya happened to go to help her.
…
At the same time, inside the Hokage's office.
Only Hashirama and Tobirama were left.
"Tobirama, how confident are you in this operation?"
"About 80%."
In order to appease his elder brother, Tobirama gave a relatively optimistic probability.
Of course, he knew it very well.
The so-called plan.
Nothing but success is failure.
Those are the two possibilities.
It doesn’t make much sense to calculate the probabilities carefully...
"Tobirama, do you hate Madara that much?"
Hashirama sighed and asked quietly.
"Brother, you know that I have always treated things differently."
"Uchiha are indeed annoying; but as long as they stay calm, I have never targeted them."
"But Madara is different. What is he going to do now?"
"It's about resurrecting the gods and touching the taboos among taboos!"
"Once he succeeds, the entire ninja world will suffer disaster..."
"We have no choice but to defeat him!"
Tobirama persuaded him earnestly, still doing ideological work for Hashirama.
only.
Tobirama didn't finish his words.
In fact, he was more afraid of that brat Uchiha Natsume than Madara.
After all, that kid is too young.
Shockingly young!
No one knows how far he can grow.
Put it off any longer.
Even if the god is resurrected, it is not certain whether he can defeat him!
…
"Why!"
"Madara has indeed gone too far. This time, I will try my best to stop him!"
Hashirama gave Tobirama a guarantee, which made Tobirama feel a little more at ease.
"By the way, Tobirama. What do you think of Master Cixian?"
Tobirama paused and responded:
"In fact, if I didn't know his strength, I wouldn't have agreed to the plan he proposed."
A few days ago, he let his eldest brother have a fight with Master Ci Xian to try his hand.
The two sides actually ended up in a draw!
You know, Hashirama is possessed by Yamato.
Even if the strength is not as good as the peak, it is not far behind.
But Master Cixian can still draw with him, which is enough to prove the terrifying strength of this master!
And this is the fundamental reason why Tobirama agreed to this plan.
After all, even if he and his eldest brother are included, they are enough to rival Madara;
But there is no way to defeat the opponent in a short time.
But coupled with the words of Master Cixian...
The balance of victory will tilt towards oneself.
This is the reason why Tobirama is eager to destroy [Akatsuki].
Because no one knows.
How strong will Madara, that ambitious bastard, become? How much strength will be improved?
We must defeat him as soon as possible and destroy his plan!
"But, Tobirama, I always feel like there's something wrong with him."
"On weekdays, when nothing happens, he always stares at Xiaozang..."
"He is already very old... Do you think he is?"
Hashirama hesitated and feared.
Xiao Gang is his heartthrob, how can he not care?
"Brother, don't think too much."
"Even if there's something wrong with him."
"But in the short term, the goal should be the same as ours."
"In proposing this plan to destroy [Akatsuki], he seems to care more than us..."
"Even if there are problems, let's wait until the plan is completed!"
"I'll keep an eye on him."
Tobirama responded with a faint look.
How could he, who has a sharper mind than his elder brother, not detect the subtle abnormalities in Ci Xian?
Even meeting each other for the first time.
Tobirama was clearly aware of Ci Xian's fleeting murderous intent towards him!
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and they are not that easy to deceive...
However, he knows better what is the top priority.
Therefore, he did not delve into Ci Xian's identity, but was just on guard in secret.
Ci Xian wants to use Konoha's hand to destroy Madara's [Eye of the Moon] plan.
He also wanted to use Ci Xian's help to deal with the threats of [Akatsuki] and Madara.
Who has the last laugh.
Then it depends on who is more skilled...
…
"You are right, maybe I am too worried."
Hashirama touched his head and no longer worried about Ci Xian.
Instead, he continued to ask:
"One more thing, Tobirama, your plan won't be exposed, right?"
In this regard, Tobirama immediately assured:
"Brother, don't worry!"
"In our village, only a few of us know about it."
"As for [Iwagakure Village] and [Sand Hidden Village], I wrote my own letters, and used layers of encrypted scrolls, and ordered them to be handed over to the two shadows."
"And warned them not to tell anyone else."
"Therefore, there are definitely no more than 15 people who know about this plan."
"There is basically no risk of leakage!"
Unfortunately.
Tobirama didn't know at this moment.
Just a few days ago.
When his autographed scroll was delivered to the third Tsuchikage Onoki of [Iwagakure Village].
Another figure wearing dark red armor was also accompanying Ohnoki as they happily read the entire secret letter together.
