"The top management is holding a meeting, I'm leaving first." Namikaze Minato explained to the four of them, and then left with the ANBU ninjas.
"High-level meeting?" Upon hearing this, Uchiha Cheng's eyes changed.
If a high-level meeting is held at this time, it looks like another war is about to begin.
After bidding farewell to Kakashi and the other three, Uchiha Makoto returned home.
Uchiha Makoto came to the room and took out the terrain map from the cabinet.
This is a detailed map that every Jonin can receive from the village. It records the map of Naruto's world with the five major countries as the core.
Of course, there will definitely not be any information about the Fire Nation's border defenses. These things will only be known if you reach a certain level or perform specific tasks.
Uchiha Makoto picked up a pen and marked the location of the Grass Ninja Village, then thickened the thin line in the middle.
“According to the time, Iwagakure should be making a comeback this time, trying to pass through the Country of Grass to surprise the Country of Fire.
This place should be Kannabi Bridge.
I just don’t know if I will be left idle this time, or if I will be sent to the front line, or if I will be tasked with destroying the Kannamubi Bridge. "
Uchiha Makoto looked at the map and pondered, it was impossible for him to be idle.
After all, Konoha is indeed short of people right now. To be precise, it is very short of Chuunin and Jonin talents.
Unlike Iwagakure, a village that likes "violent soldier flow" tactics, Konoha's ninja system is relatively complete, and it does not rely on the crowd tactics to fight like Iwagakure.
In fact, for most ninjas, it is still true that the ants will bite the elephant to death.
Konoha was defeated by one against four in three battles, suffering huge losses.
There will definitely not be many ninjas that can be sent to participate in the battle this time, and they will definitely not be compared with Iwagakure in numbers.
Although Uchiha Makoto is not very famous among the Jonin in the village now, his strength is at the forefront. Based on his performance in front of Namikaze Minato, it is impossible for the Third Hokage not to know about it.
"This battle is also an opportunity for me to perform. When Namikaze Minato comes to power, I will naturally be reused by him. In this way, I can obtain more resources, master more secrets of the village, and my strength will improve more and more. Soon, it will be easier for the Uchiha clan to change."
Raising troops for a thousand days, spent in one day, practicing for such a long time, now Uchiha Makoto is not the cannon fodder who participated in the Battle of Mount Kikyo, he has enough power to protect himself.
...
Hokage Building, in the conference room lobby next to the Hokage's office.
The Third Hokage sat at the head of the long table, with Danzo Shimura, Koharu Koharu, and Minato Mito on the left and right, and Minato Namikaze sitting at the bottom of Mito.
After that came the clan leaders of each clan in Konoha and the elite jonin in the village.
The Third Hokage glanced around, frowned, and asked, "Why hasn't Orochimaru arrived yet?"
"Sandaime-sama, we have sent people to notify him, but we have not found Lord Orochimaru in the village." An accompanying ANBU ninja said respectfully.
Sandai's face darkened slightly when he heard this, obviously thinking of something.
Danzo was sitting at the foot of the Third Generation, with his head slightly lowered, as if he was looking at his nose, nose and heart.
The Sandaime glanced at Danzo and cursed inwardly.
But then he thought about it, waved his hand and said: "No need to wait, let's start the meeting."
With that said, Sandai nodded towards Namikaze Minato on the side, signaling for him to take charge.
Seeing this situation, Danzo narrowed his eyes and felt that something was wrong. He secretly cursed Orochimaru for not knowing the importance of the situation. At this time, he would put his mind on the experiment.
Namikaze Minato said: "Everyone must have known before coming here. According to the battle reports from the front line and the intelligence from the village's spies stationed in Iwagakure, Iwagakure and Kumogakure have reached a truce.
Iwagakure is going to war with Konoha again, and they have sent troops to garrison in the Country of Grass, with very obvious intentions.
After successive battles, Konoha has suffered serious losses and it is not appropriate to fall into another war.
Of course, although we do not want to fight anymore, I believe that peace can only last long if we seek peace through war.
Konoha hopes to negotiate peace with Iwagakure, but only if we win this battle first. "
Namikaze Minato briefly explained the situation and expressed his opinion. Now he is fully qualified.
Regarding Namikaze Minato's views, everyone present basically agreed. After all, the third war had already reached this point. Although they hoped for peace, Konoha had never been afraid of invading enemies.
After Minato Namikaze finished speaking, Mito Gate continued: "Minato is right, but we don't have many ninjas that can be sent to support the frontline troops.
Although the Suna Ninja Village has surrendered and signed an alliance with Konoha, there is no guarantee that they will not make any small moves again, and the number of ninjas stationed in the Western Region cannot be reduced anymore.
As for Kirigakure and Kumogakure, they have not taken the initiative to provoke a new round of war, but they still have no sincerity in peace talks with Konoha, so they must be careful.
Not only cannot we move the troops from these two parties away, but we must be careful that they make another raid while we are dealing with Iwagakure.
The troops stationed in the northwest have changed their defenses, and all the wounded have returned to the village. Now the frontline troops only have about 300 people, while Iwagakure has at least a thousand people. A decision must be made early. "
When Mito Menyan said this, everyone looked at the third generation.
All families suffered heavy losses in this war, and no one wanted to stand out at this time. After all, many families had little foundation, and if anyone died, the family would be exterminated.
Just like the Moonlight clan was originally a middle-class ninja clan. During the three wars, there were originally more than a hundred people in the clan, but now there are only a dozen people left in the clan.
Although Konoha is a large collective, the power of the family cannot be underestimated. The weakening of the family's power will inevitably affect its political status in the village.
At this time, Sandai did not dare to force which clan to send people first as the vanguard to fight.
Thinking of this, the third generation said: "Most of the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan are now stationed in Platycodon City, and there is no way to support the front line as quickly as possible.
However, I will send ninjas to switch defenses as soon as possible and let Shinnosuke lead the tribe to the front line. "
Hearing that the third generation wanted his eldest son Sarutobi Shinnosuke to go to the front line, the heads of the various ninja clans could not remain silent.
Uchiha Fugaku, who was still deep in thought, finally made up his mind and said: "The Uchiha clan is willing to send out the vanguard and allow Lord Minato to deploy it."
As soon as Uchiha Fugaku said this, he openly supported Namikaze Minato.
Seeing Uchiha Fugaku speaking, one after another clan leaders expressed their intention to send clan members to participate in the war.
As for ordinary ninjas without family influence, the third generation directly issued orders to participate in the war.
Upon seeing this, the four senior executives headed by the third generation immediately exchanged glances, then turned to Xiaochun and said: "We will immediately do the logistics work, and the ninja tools, food, and medical supplies will be transported to the front line as quickly as possible."
The meeting continued, but after the most important personnel issue was identified, other issues were easily resolved.
"What about the Chunin Examination this time? Should it be stopped?" At the end of the meeting, Mito Kadoba mentioned the ongoing Chunin Selection Examination.
After hearing this, Sandai pondered for a moment and said, "Shorten the examination process and relax the qualification requirements."
"yes!"
The meeting lasted for about an hour. As soon as the meeting ended, all the decrees were implemented in an orderly manner.
...
Just the day after the meeting, Uchiha Makoto received a notice from the clan asking him to meet the clan leader.
Uchiha Makoto, who had been prepared for a long time, directly put on his backpack and set off with the Sky Sword hanging at his waist.
