According to the information from the Root, the Fourth Raikage's injuries have almost recovered. He has appeared in the village many times but he has not continued to the main battlefield.
Even so, the morale of the ninjas of the Cloud Village was greatly boosted, and the appearance of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki on the battlefield made Konoha's pressure soar.
Every time a Jinchūriki was deployed, a special team had to be sent out to the front lines to blockade the area, causing a surge in casualties.
If it weren't for the fact that Konoha's sealing technique was too intimidating to the tailed beasts, the battle line would probably have been retreated.
Qu Feng's letters almost always requested reinforcements.
Leaving such a powerful master like Hatake Kakashi in the village is a waste that the front-line commander cannot tolerate.
No matter what plans you have in the rear, I have been fighting for my life in the front and am almost lying here at my old age. You should behave yourself.
The Sandaime also understood the limit and he didn't want to send the young ones of the village to the battlefield but the Land of Lightning had pushed Konoha to the edge of the cliff.
Before that, one issue must also be resolved.
In the Hokage Building.
"Kakashi, you will quit ANBU from now on."
Chapter 9: This world belongs to the elderly after all
"Quit the Anbu?"
"That's right, you will quit the Anbu and officially resume your status as a Konoha Jonin. All your previous contributions will be recorded.
This time you will be transferred to Qiu Daozhifeng's team to participate in the battle on the front battlefield. Young people need a broader sky.
It's a waste of your talents to stay here, the front lines need the help of Konoha's heroes more.
For now, the Jonin's direct subordinates are Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi.
As for the front-line command duties, I will follow Qu Feng's arrangements."
He then went on for a long time, mostly praising me and saying some nice things.
Finally, we talked about the will of fire, but unfortunately it did not resonate with the young people.
Kakashi didn't expect that the Sandaime's actions would be so direct and ruin his subsequent plans.
Unable to contact the Anbu, it seems that he is really sensitive about these things.
His methods are beyond reproach and he is worthy of being the shadow of the village.
I'm afraid that Xiao and the others will also be transferred out of the Anbu, which will really implicate the other party.
Some ninja clans will send personnel into the Anbu to show their support and loyalty to the Konoha boss, but most of them are civilian ninjas who will join the Anbu to carry out some high-risk tasks.
Because the Anbu has enough missions and the risks are high enough.
A high level mission can be exchanged for the necessary training resources and create opportunities for your offspring. This kind of life-threatening work is nothing to a ninja.
The requirements are naturally high, such as...absolute loyalty.
Currently, the Hokage of Konoha is still the one in front of him, so Kakashi has no right to bargain.
Choose to accept the appointment and return home.
Next comes a lot of preparation and gathering of the team members assigned to him.
Except for Iruka, who has not yet been incorporated into the war team, the other three have already been included.
"War~~~"
He took out a pen and paper and started writing a letter, then summoned a little toad to give it to the spirit.
We are an organized people.
Sarutobi Hiruzen in the Hokage Building also looked as if he had finally completed a difficult task.
Bringing out the Anbu was a conspiracy devised by the Sandaime.
Konoha Anbu is a special force established by the Second Hokage. Its full name is Assassination Tactics Special Forces. The force is directly commanded by the Hokage.
This is the first spy organization among the five major countries, and Tobirama's political skills are emulated by ninja villages in various countries.
The members of the ANBU are all outstanding ninjas selected from the village. They are mainly responsible for protecting the Hokage and preventing foreign enemies from invading the Konoha ninja village. Sometimes they are also responsible for tasks such as reconnaissance of enemy situations and assassinations.
The tasks they perform and what they know are absolutely not allowed to be disclosed to the outside world, and there are even many dark aspects.
When Kakashi first joined the Anbu, he was only treated as a sharp knife, and was not allowed to come into contact with more profound things.
But when this person began to use his infectious power to erode the Hokage's direct troops, he crossed the line.
These people are Sarutobi Hiruzen's secret eyes, nose, mouth, and hands and feet.
Now it is possible that his eyes are blind and his ears are deaf, because these direct subordinates may hide the truth from their master.
Such a threat is too direct for the Hokage. If left alone, the village will have a little Hokage like Hatake Kakashi.
Even when the 4th generation inherited the Anbu, he was slowly clearing out the Anbu members left by the rd generation and replacing them.
No one who is a Hokage would tolerate such a thing.
Another advantage of Kakashi leaving the Anbu is that he is too powerful.
According to intelligence from all sources, if he leads the team with Hiashi to sneak into the Land of Lightning to carry out missions again, he will be in danger only if he encounters a situation like last time where the Fourth Raikage personally leads the team to encircle and kill.
Then the speed at which this younger generation accumulates personal achievements is too fast.
The number of jonin killed last time and the baggage destroyed directly accumulated to 10 S-levels, which was shocking. This kind of high-difficulty mission converted into a mission bounty of at least tens of millions of taels.
You should know that in the original work, Konoha's number one technician only has 42 S-level missions in his lifetime.
These accumulated military merits would be painful whether they were exchanged for money or resources.
As for the fact that the Anbu's principle of confidentiality will not accumulate reputation, that is nonsense.
That white-haired guy always wears a mask symbolically every time he goes on a mission, and the mask explodes when he gets into a fight. Are the masks of the Anbu so of such poor quality?
Moreover, Kakashi's iconic look and signature ninjutsu cannot be hidden at all.
Thousands of birds singing together, a silver-haired boy dancing amidst the gathering thunder...
Konoha can no longer suppress any of the achievements made, even if it can suppress the people from Kumogakure.
It would be better to send him directly to Akimichi Norifuge's men. No matter how powerful an individual is, it is difficult for him to dominate the victory and outcome of a head-on war.
At the same time, it is not realistic for the Kachui team to stay in the village. They are all geniuses of the new generation, and it would be a waste of time and combat power if they stay in the village.
Other people’s sons had already gone to where the fighting was most intense, and his own son could no longer be trapped in the village.
I am not at ease leaving him to other people to take care of him, the rope tree is a lesson for me.
It's just right to send him to Kakashi's command, where he can train his strength and gain some military merits. His safety should be guaranteed as long as he doesn't do anything reckless.
After all, the sense of responsibility is different.
Kakashi's words to Hizashi and the others, "Now I am the flying leaves...", spread throughout the front and rear.
Such a young man with a will of fire will definitely not go against his beliefs.
Who wasn't like this when they were young...
Of course, this did not prevent him from carrying out his own conspiracy.
Since we can't suppress them anymore, let's control the opponent's time of rising. If we win on the main battlefield, it will be a victory for all Konoha ninjas.
If you fail...
I believe that the Cloud Village will not be so stupid as to send two or three jonin to die the second time facing the Bloody Thunder.
At least there is no shortage of large-scale sealing teams on the main battlefield, as well as various joint ninjutsu for controlling the field.
It can be said that this is the best solution he can think of.
Logically, Danzo should be strongly opposed to this, as he was the one who had been clamoring to transfer Kakashi from the Anbu to the Root.
Once you leave the Anbu, many of their tactics will become difficult to use.
But this time it was unusually quiet, with only a symbolic protest.
If the Anbu wasn't short-handed, I would really like to check what this Dark Ninja has been doing recently.
The other two elders remained silent, because they could not think of a better way than this, so they decided to choose the lesser of two evils.
Perhaps after waiting for a few more years, if Kakashi's mind changes or if Hiruzen has a better solution, the situation will not deteriorate to the point they don't want to see.
People will mature, and young people will grow old one day, so the world will ultimately be in the hands of the elderly.
Once Kakashi's problem is dealt with, we will face an even more powerless situation.
Konoha was close to defeat in the Battle of Thunder and Fire.
The truth covered up by public opinion will sooner or later be revealed. After the uproar when the Bloody Thunder returned, people realized that the village had become extremely poor.
Chapter 10 Building a branch
The village has no money and no people.
All the wealth accumulated by Konoha during the year of recuperation in the Fourth Hokage's reign had been spent, and the current situation was even more fragile than at the end of the Third World War.
The war had become a vicious cycle for Konoha at this time, and the former giant fell to the ground and continued to bleed.
The main forces and strong men are sent to the front line to fight, so the villages that are entrusted with the tasks no longer have enough strength to take them on.
If there are no missions to undertake, they can only rely on fixed grants from the daimyo to make ends meet, and finally the war will require huge expenditures.
Minerals, weapons, food pellets, detonating talismans, medicinal materials and consumables, and pensions.
After the Third Ninja War, Konoha almost went bankrupt, and this Thunder and Fire War dealt a fatal blow.
The second battlefield outside the main battlefield had already been completely defeated.
Sarutobi Hiruzen often thought that if there was an opportunity to cease fire now, his bottom line would probably be much lower than everyone imagined.
"I hope the war will end soon..."
In the Hatake mansion.
Kakashi gathered Asuma, Kurenai and Might Guy.
“I think you all know about going to the front line, right?
Let me emphasize again that your strength has improved significantly during these two months, but this is not enough for you to survive on a real battlefield.
Especially... following me.
The Sandaime-sama might want me to play a banner role on the front line and protect the young seedlings of the new generation.
However, accidents happen frequently on the battlefield. If the enemy targets you or you need to temporarily attract firepower... you, as my direct subordinates, will also be at great risk."
When Hiashi first went on a mission, he was shocked by that group of crazy guys.
He rolled his eyes and thought, "Huh? Did I see it wrong? This density might have reached the main battlefield."
The clouds covering the mountains and plains are particularly terrifying in the white eyes.
Kakashi explained clearly to several people the hatred between himself and Kumogakure, and the relatives and friends of those senior ninjas would try their best to seek revenge.
For example, he was almost beaten to death by Tutai’s relatives and friends before. This kind of thing is really an endless trouble.
He also required that the three people in front of him must have the awareness of subordinates after going out to the battle. They should run when they are told to, and not try to do anything touching.
His tone was extremely serious. Last time, he was cut off by the teacher, who said that he had to break the curse of the white-haired ninja.
If this happens again, I will really die.
Everyone said that there was no problem and that it was a ninja's nature to obey their superiors' orders.
“Then use your connections and resources to gather whatever you can to keep yourself alive.
Remember, you can use any means as long as it does not violate the morals of the village."
Such direct words instantly made everyone nervous.
"Asuma, although this may make you uncomfortable, it will be very challenging to go to the battlefield as the son of the Hokage.
So since we are facing high risks, we might as well use this identity to prepare resources to face it.”
