This earned it a bloody and cruel name.
What is this? This incredible statement, which made all the senior officials who circulated the intelligence feel incredible, has spread throughout the Land of Thunder.
At the same time, a new story of Bloody Thunder was spread within Konoha, and the Kabuki group led by Asuma Sarutobi came online again.
And Asuma, due to his status as Kakashi's nemesis, was inexplicably molded into Bloody Thunder's right-hand man within the village.
Such unreliable rumors made a certain Hokage's son very dissatisfied.
Why is he the right-hand man? Isn't it always said that they are rivals? Who changed it?
Red, soft and cute complaints.
"Because you didn't go to the battlefield, you just stayed behind to help Kakashi become famous. No one would think you were his enemy."
Asuma fell to his knees and said, "I'm really sorry that I'm not qualified to go to the battlefield."
It's not that he didn't want to go. How could a rebellious and hot-blooded child not be eager to achieve success? But the Third Hokage refused to let him go.
This youngest son's mentality is not yet able to fully participate in the Thunder and Fire War. In the three ninja wars, the new generation, except Kakashi, were just soy sauce.
So let’s gain some more experience.
The collective action of the Kabuki group did not cause any big waves. What the Sandaime is worried about now is the possibility that the direction of the war will escalate because of this battle.
What Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted was for Konoha to gain a slight upper hand after the two sides confronted each other for a period of time, and then sign a peace agreement to end the war.
Instead of winning a beautiful victory, the Fourth Raikage came out in full force.
The escalated war has become too strenuous for Konoha, and data in all aspects are approaching the bottom line.
However, the news of the victory had already spread and could not be concealed. The entire ninja world seemed to be singing the praises of that child's achievements.
Then every decision made now will affect Konoha's future dynamics.
To fight or not to fight?
Ugh……
Danzo ran out from the shadows. As the guy who thought he knew the dark side of his old friend's mind best, he naturally knew what the other party was worried about.
“Kakashi went out on his own to provoke conflict between the two nations of Thunder and Fire, which is a sin among many others.
It is better to let us handle it with the Ministry and ensure that things are handled beautifully."
And Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, who were outside the door, also walked in.
"Huruzen, Konoha cannot afford an all-out war right now. This matter will have to be a trade-off."
Danzo was secretly happy, he had already discussed it with these two people before, it was all for Konoha.
"Ahem, maybe by sacrificing Kakashi we can get a ceasefire agreement.
I think that child should be willing to take on the responsibility for the Will of Fire."
The three elders expressed their intentions directly and indirectly. Sometimes it is normal to sacrifice a tool to ensure the preservation of the village.
The Burning Release Leaf Cang of the Wind Country! This situation also exists in several other countries. The thinking of those in power is sometimes cold-blooded and ruthless. They only care about data and gains and losses, and don't care about the thoughts of those who are sacrificed.
This time, the three elders joined forces to give Hiruzen a way out.
Let me think about it again.
After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen has not completely fallen, and there is still a remnant of the will of fire in his heart.
If Kakashi were to be sacrificed like this, the spirit of the Nidaime teacher in heaven would probably be disturbed.
In addition to the cold data, there are many invisible factors that influence the war.
The Bloody Thunder, which had repeatedly won military exploits, had almost become a symbol of Konoha. It was the most dazzling star in Konoha since the Fourth Hokage era.
Although I don't want him to take over the position of Hokage, his contribution cannot be erased.
Moreover, Qufeng on the front line has sent a letter requesting assistance in evacuating Kakashi safely from the Land of Lightning. This is the wish of the front-line ninjas.
They needed to see Konoha's heroes return safely.
But... oh, war. People who distort the world are no longer human, and ghosts are no longer ghosts.
According to the previous mental journey, the result might not be very good, but Noah came after all and brought something different.
Chapter 192 The Complex Sandaime
For example, a certain youth group within Konoha had already been stimulated to the point of burning passion, and a certain young master had also inadvertently changed many things.
Just as the Sandaime was smoking alone until late at night, the rebellious son broke in again.
"Third Hokage! Please allow me to go to the battlefield and fight for Konoha."
"Get out of here! Now is not the time for you to play ninja games. When will a mere Chunin be qualified to intervene in a battle like this?
Still asking for a fight? Only a jonin is qualified to lead a team to the front line, go back and perform your mission well! "
Sarutobi Hiruzen was already annoyed at this time, and this stupid son was still seeking death.
But is the obedient Asma still Asma?
"Old man! The fellows in the village have all been inspired by Kakashi to have the Will of Fire, and everyone wants to go to the front line to fight for Konoha.
Didn't you always say that I'm not as good as Kakashi? Why don't you let me try it on the battlefield and I'll know?
I am a nemesis recognized by Bloody Thunder, and I must be present in this era!"
The Sandaime didn't listen to Asuma's pretentious speech at all, but was quite interested in the first half.
"You said that everyone in the village is asking for a fight, right?"
"Yes, the fact that Bloody Thunder was able to achieve such a feat shows that our Konoha is still very strong, and there will always be a new generation to take over.
Even that brat Iruka could passionately talk about the Will of Fire in front of the village, using Kakashi as an example. How could I not understand it?"
As Asuma continued to chatter, the balance in the Sandaime's heart tilted again.
Then... give me one last chance.
The will of fire is the foundation of Konoha, and Kakashi has slowly become a war hero.
The changes in the situation may no longer be determined by the will of ourselves and others.
If Kakashi can survive the attack of the Fourth Raikage, then the war will continue.
At worst, I can go to the front line to meet the Fourth Raikage.
The mood of the third generation improved a little after making up their mind. In any case, they had no choice.
"Okay, Asuma, please step back. You are not qualified to talk to me about this now.
Once you have mastered the skill of Haohuo Extinguishing, I will let you go to the front line and make some contribution.
Otherwise, going there would only add burden to others. The Sarutobi family is also part of Konoha, so don't embarrass yourself."
"real?!"
This question really made him angry, and Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath.
"roll!"
After all, ninjas are not flowers that grow in a greenhouse, and the Sandaime’s vision for education is absolutely sharp.
If Asuma completes a few more moves, he will be qualified to go to the main battlefield. With the protection of the Sarutobi clan's ninja army, there is a high probability that nothing will happen.
There were many reasons for the incident with the rope tree, and I will not make the same mistake again after learning from it.
Asuma was very excited after getting the recognition from his old father. He rarely continued his storm attack but went home to practice ninjutsu.
"Kakashi, wait for me!"
In the middle of the night, the Sandaime issued the Hokage Order to summon the heads of the major ninja clans and several elders.
Danzo's spirits lifted, feeling that Hiruzen had not escaped his hypocritical personality after all and made the decision he wanted.
He had thought it all out. He would sell Kakashi's location to the Raikage, and then find a way to save the Bloody Thunder at the critical moment, so that he could put the sharpest knife into his own pocket.
No matter how this white-haired brat betrayed him before, Kakashi's value now can offset the previous...little misunderstanding.
The Root will always lack a powerful weapon. First the strong man, then the tailed beast. In this way, the position of Hokage will be secure!
As a result, Hiruzen made a different decision.
"Send an order! Order Akimichi Torifu to send troops to the front line of the battlefield and be ready to support Kakashi at any time. Be careful not to go too deep."
"Order the Anbu team to contain the Kumogakure Anbu and buy time for Kakashi."
"Send a message to the roots!"
……
Danzo was dumbfounded. The Root team had always been affiliated with the Anbu and had never been pointed out so openly.
And this guy is actually... so courageous? !
"Hurizen, the village..."
"Roots, listen to my orders!"
Danzo gritted his teeth, but he didn't have the courage to disobey in public.
"Yes."
"Do whatever it takes to slow down the Fourth Raikage."
"……Yes."
This order is almost like giving up the lives of his own men.
Danzo's gloomy eyes were full of resentment. Who on earth had ruined his good thing?
The other ninja clan leaders were also puzzled by the change in the Sandaime that night, but the leader who could do so still received everyone's respect.
"I hope everyone understands that Konoha's current strength is well known to everyone, and being able to achieve this level is already the limit.
It’s just… for Konoha, I hope everyone can hold on a little longer.”
Everyone nodded. Although the war was unbearable for everyone, everyone wanted to see the Sandaime do this.
Who doesn't want to see a boss who can protect them at critical moments?
Besides, the war has only been going on for a year and they are not at the end of their rope yet. They are still very tolerant of the village's war heroes.
This behavior can be considered to have stabilized the morale of some troops. Let's leave it at that for now.
Shimura Danzo was about to say something but was stunned by the look in his eyes from his old friend, as if to say that this is the Hokage Building and I am the Hokage.
After the meeting, he turned and left. The two elders wanted to say a few words but were still driven away.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who exhaled a puff of smoke, was actually very nervous inside, not knowing whether it was right or wrong to do so.
He was not very optimistic, but felt a sense of sadness.
The principles that a meritorious ninja needs to protect are already wavering, and he even needs that rebellious son to strengthen his confidence.
It has been so difficult one year after the war began. Can we maintain our bottom line if we persist for another two years?
The battle with himself has never stopped since he took the position of Hokage.
He held on during the Second Ninja World War, but his bottom line was shaken during the Third Ninja World War.
This time, the confrontation and war between Lei and Huo was even more shaken, and sooner or later he would make a decision that he would regret.
If only Minato was still alive, then I would always be the Third Hokage of the past.
The power of time and the fear of being alone at the top are gradually eroding the Hokage's heart, and the desire for power is like a poison that penetrates the intestines and constantly drags people into the abyss.
The young boy at the beginning has become an old man with age spots, and his ideals will eventually fade.
Akimichi Tokkaze, who received the order from the frontline headquarters, was thoughtful.
There is a bottom line after all, Hiruzen, I hope you can always stick to it.
So he began to arrange for the support troops. According to the order, they would only rescue Kakashi with all their strength if they saw him near the main battlefield.
With the authority of the commander-in-chief, he can naturally move the boundary line of the main battlefield slightly, so that he can respond flexibly.
The morale of the front-line command has been very high recently, so I must return the favor and help Shuomao's child.
