One voice was full of energy, the other was slightly weak.
The same thing is that the tone is very firm!
Hearing the familiar voice, everyone looked out the door.
I saw Uchiha Fugaku opening the door and pushing the wheelchair into the room.
Sitting in the wheelchair was none other than the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Shuito.
Next to him was Uchiha Makoto, whose right arm was bandaged, and Kakashi helped him in.
The ones who spoke just now were Uchiha Makoto and Namikaze Minato.
"Yondaime-sama!"
"Watergate?"
"Minato-sama!"
No one expected that Minato Namikaze, who was recovering from his injuries, would come here.
Hinata Hinata leaned on the mat and collapsed. When he saw the arrival of Namikaze Minato, something called hope suddenly ignited in his eyes.
Seeing Minato Namikaze, who was seriously injured, suddenly arriving, looking at his pale face, Sandai hurried forward.
"Minato, why are you here? Your injuries are so serious, why don't you take a good rest in the hospital?!"
Namikaze Minato waved his hand and said weakly:
"Thanks to the Third Generation for your concern, my injury has improved a lot.
Such a big thing has happened, how can I, the fourth generation, sit still! "
"Yondaime-sama, what did you mean just now..." A Hyuga elder stepped forward and asked.
Hearing this, the Yondaime glanced at Uchiha Makoto with a tired expression.
Uchiha Makoto nodded and explained:
"We have received a message from Master Jiraiya, and he has found the traces of Master Tsunade.
He wrote back and said that he would definitely be able to return to the village with Lady Tsunade within ten days.
As long as Tsunade-sama returns, Minato-sama's injuries will be able to recover within a month or two at most.
Although my injury looks serious, it will take less than a month to basically recover. "
"In other words, we..." Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Kumogakure wants to fight, Konoha will accompany him, hand over someone... No way!"
Namikaze Minato's voice was not loud, but the words he spoke were inspiring.
Several Hyuga elders suddenly felt their blood surge.
Isn't it really shameful to let Hyuuga Hizashi die in place of the clan leader?
Shame on you!
Very shameful!
But there was no way, the third generation and other senior officials could not make up their minds.
Now, regardless of serious injuries, the fourth generation came from the hospital specifically for this matter. How can they, the old guys, object?
beat!
"Yondaime-sama! But if this happens..."
Hinata Hizashi looked anxious.
Namikaze Minato glanced at him and said in a deep voice:
"I am the Fourth Hokage! Although you are a member of the Hyuga clan, you are first and foremost a Jounin of Konoha.
They are my subordinates and my family!
We have always sought peace through war, never compromise!
do you understand? "
"...Yes! Yondaime-sama!"
Hinata Hizashi's eyes were hot and he didn't know what to say.
"If we want to start a war with Kumogakure! The Uchiha clan is willing to serve as a forward force and go to the border to standby!"
Uchiha Fugaku, who was holding a wheelchair, immediately stepped forward and said respectfully.
At this time, Hinata Hinata regained his breath, struggled to get up tremblingly, and came to the front of Namikaze Minato.
He suddenly knelt down on one knee and said respectfully:
"The Hyuga clan is also willing to serve as the vanguard force!"
"Rizu, please get up!"
Yondaime said weakly, and at his signal, everyone helped Hinata Hizashi up.
At this time, Nara Shikaku, the Konoha think tank, stepped forward and said:
"I am willing to go out with the army immediately. As for the ninjas from the Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi clans, I will also gather them as soon as possible."
"Brother!" Hinata Hizashi supported Hizu.
Rizu scolded: "You attacked the clan leader in public, and you have to offset it with your military exploits to avoid punishment!"
"Yes!" Hizashi's eyes turned red.
The two brothers merely held each other's hands.
Namikaze Minato made the decision in just a few words, gathering people's hearts.
Although he decided to accept the challenge, the atmosphere was not as solemn and depressing as before.
Sandai hesitated again and again and did not speak.
The two consultant elders looked at each other, looking at Namikaze Minato who was pale but determined, and said nothing.
After all, the current Hokage in charge is Namikaze Minato.
He made the decision in public, and also received the unanimous support of the two giants.
Nara Shikaku is not only Konoha's think tank, he has made many ingenious plans to win in battles, he is also the leader of the Nara clan.
The three clans of pigs, deer, and butterflies have always been united and advance and retreat together.
Although the chiefs of the Yamanaka and Akimichi clans were not present, they certainly would not object to Nara Shikaku's decision.
The three clans are also the mainstay of Konoha.
With the support of these five ninja clans, it was useless for them to oppose Namikaze Minato's decision.
After all, the third generation has already acquiesced to the fourth generation's decision.
The most difficult thing before was making decisions.
And now once a decision is made, even if the decision is not calm enough.
But as Hokage advisors, all they need to do is cooperate with Hokage.
brush!
Anbu ninja appeared outside the door again.
"Third-generation-sama, four members of Kumogakure's envoy have just left the village and returned.
The remaining three are pressing for answers. How should we respond? "
"Ahem..." Namikaze Minato coughed, and Kakashi hurriedly helped him calm down.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the silent third generation.
If he disagrees with the fourth generation's decision, it will also be a big trouble.
“Tell Kumogakure’s envoy that Konoha rejects their request!
In addition, notify Shinnosuke to summon the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan.
Stand by at Dongdaemun before dawn!
In order to prevent Kumogakure from suddenly attacking.
I want to personally lead the army to guard the border! "
Sarutobi Hiruzen took off the robe he was wearing, revealing the black combat uniform underneath. He opened the door, came to the ANBU ninja and gave the order.
"yes!"
The ANBU ninja looked at the Third Hokage who was exuding a powerful aura, and was suddenly shocked. He immediately went to convey the order, and his voice was three points more confident than before.
"Hiruzen!"
After turning to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoen looked at the back of the Third Hokage, feeling that the old Shinobi was still there.
Danzo looked at this rival and teammate who had competed with him all his life, and his eyes were a little complicated, but the third generation's approach was exactly what he wanted.
"Minato, your injury hasn't healed yet, go back and recuperate first!
Even if a full-scale war breaks out, I can still hold on for a few months!
When the time comes, I’ll leave it to you! "
Sandai said solemnly.
Then he came to Koharu and Mito Monobu who were sleeping.
"Koharu, Menyan, you will chair the high-level meeting on Minato's behalf.
I will leave the logistics and troop replenishment to your hands! "
"Yes! Hiruzen! Don't worry! We will help the fourth generation!"
Xiaochun responded as he went to bed.
Mito Menyan, who was on the side, looked at his old friend’s gray hair and said solemnly:
"When you go on the expedition, I will rush to the daimyo and explain the situation to him!"
The third generation nodded and looked at everyone in the field.
Finally, he glanced at Danzo with a complicated expression, then turned and left.
Upon seeing this, Uchiha Fugaku nodded to Uchiha Makoto, and then left the hall, preparing to return to the clan to mobilize the clan members.
Soon, the people gathered in the venue began to leave.
Looking at Namikaze Minato who kept coughing and Uchiha Makoto who was stumbling, Danzo's eyes flashed fiercely.
...
"Hey~"
After returning to the hospital bed and lying down, Minato Namikaze suddenly sighed.
Uchiha Makoto heard his sigh and asked:
"Minato-senpai, do you think you should tell everyone that your injury has healed just now?"
"Cheng, I understand what you mean and your difficulties. Everything you do is for me.
It’s just that I felt that I was not sincere enough and a bit hypocritical! "
Namikaze Shuimen said, he was blaming himself.
"Except for the injury, Minato-senpai, is anything you just said false?" Uchiha said honestly.
Namikaze Minato shook his head and said, "No!"
"In that case, why bother with these little tricks!" Uchiha Makoto comforted:
"Minato-senpai, you are sincere and don't care about your reputation, but sometimes people's hearts are complicated.
If the good deeds you do do not achieve the best results expected, then I, the person who made the plans, have failed in my duty. "
"I understand." Namikaze Minato nodded and said, "I am too limited to myself."
"We are already halfway through the play, and the tail of the fox...the tail of the mastermind behind the scenes has been revealed."
Hearing Kyuubi's dissatisfied voice, Uchiha Makoto immediately changed his tune.
"Kumogakure is obviously well-prepared, which means there is a mole within us! Someone leaked the information that I was injured.
What happened tonight was both a conspiracy and a test of Konoha's bottom line.
Otherwise, they would not dare to explicitly threaten war! "Namikaze Minato had anger in his eyes and his face darkened.
Namikaze Minato is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart.
He is just a decent person and disdains conspiracy, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand.
"This time we just got rid of the cancer in the village. As for whether Kumogakure will really go to war with the village, it is within our expectations.
If they dare to fight with the village, they can take this opportunity to cripple Yunyin!"
Uchiha Makoto's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Kumogakure has been making moves on the border in the past year. Since Konoha 48, there has been constant friction with Konoha, and small-scale conflicts have never stopped.
War with Konoha is inevitable.
Now this opportunity, Yunyin should not give up easily.
And Uchiha Makoto and Namikaze Minato had already prepared a response.
Since war is inevitable, strike the opponent with a thunderous blow when he is most careless.
As for Kumogakure's early attack and the kidnapping of Hinata a few months earlier than the original plot, Uchiha Makoto didn't care at all.
As long as he is cautious enough and doesn't waste time until he is strong enough, he won't be afraid of any changes in the plot!
Because facts have proven that it was the right choice for him to take the risk and become a family for four generations.
The only thing that surprised Uchiha Makoto today was that the Third Hokage, who had always been indecisive and hesitant in doing things, behaved like this.
After the fourth generation decided to accept the challenge, there was no objection.
Regarding the third generation's behavior of leading the army first, Uchiha Makoto even had a little change of opinion towards him.
Because other things can be a show, but this kind of thing of being the vanguard is not, it will really kill people!
If Kumogakure gets sick, he will really fight with Konoha and directly let the fourth generation Raikage and Kirabi, the perfect jinchūriki, join the battle. Uchiha Makoto asked himself that it would be very troublesome for him to fight against two people alone.
When he now faces top-notch ninjas, his explosive combat power is extremely high, but whether it is the Nine-Tails transformation or the complete Susanoo form, he cannot last long.
The speed of the Fourth Raikage is not inferior to Namikaze Minato, and the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki should not be underestimated.
The most important thing is that the two brothers have extremely rich combat experience. They are not a fool like Otsutsukiura Shiki, who is still struggling in a life-and-death battle, resorting to big moves at every turn, and cannot use one-tenth of his abilities.
"However, I am worried that the Third Raikage will be unable to resist the Fourth Raikage. After all, he is old and his strength has declined too much!
And I have fought against them, and Kumogakure's Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki is also very powerful! "
Namikaze Minato looked worried.
If it was more than ten years ago, he would not have worried that the third generation would lose to the fourth generation Raikage, but now the third generation is already old.
"Don't worry, Minato-senpai, now the village's high-end combat power has been brought to the front line by the third generation.
Do you think the mole can still hold back and not take action?
If it doesn't work, we will create opportunities for him! "
Uchiha Makoto sneered.
Seeing that Namikaze Minato was still a little worried, Uchiha Makoto continued:
"It will take time for three generations of adults to rush to the front line, so we will take five days.
If the other party doesn't take action yet, the evidence we have is barely enough!
After the internal troubles are resolved, when the time comes, Minato-senpai, you can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to send me to the battlefield.
The two of you join forces, and you can definitely win with a single blow by surprise! "
"Okay!" Namikaze Minato said solemnly:
"I will immediately inform Jiraiya-sensei that I will seize this opportunity this time!"
