Chapter 234 Strategic Arrangement, Minato's Vicious Vision
Chapter 234 Strategic Arrangement, Minato's Vicious Vision
"Crash"
In the conference room, the only sounds left in the silence were the turning of pages and increasingly solemn expressions.
Xingye Feng looked at them quietly, taking a sip of warm tea, appearing extremely calm and comfortable.
Dozens of minutes later, Hatake Sakumo looked at everyone and said calmly, "Except for the Sand Village, the other three ninja villages have all raided and taken out almost all their assets."
"It is foreseeable that this war will be even more brutal than the previous two, and many people will die."
After these words were spoken, the person who showed the greatest emotional fluctuations was Hashirama Senju, who also attended this meeting.
The others also knew the truth, but they all kept silent tacitly.
"War...is it finally coming..." Senju Hashirama looked at the battle situation on the pages of the book and sighed deeply.
His expression was inexplicable and a little sad.
Upon seeing this, Uchiha Madara snorted coldly, his whole body was filled with a surge of momentum and murderous intent, like a devil's sword about to be unsheathed.
"Hashirama, you are too soft-hearted. They are almost at your doorstep, why are you still hesitating?"
"Since they dare to take the initiative to attack, we will sweep them away with thunderous means. Konoha has no way out in this battle."
Senju Hashirama opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he knew in his heart that this was the only way, so he finally lowered his head.
Xingye Feng said: "Teacher, this is not a simple war. It will determine the foundation of Konoha's future unification."
"So, this battle must be fought."
Xingye Feng naturally knew the character of his teacher. Sometimes he was indeed a bit sentimental, but things had come to this point, there was no room for leniency, only blood and fire.
"I understand." Senju Hashirama sighed and didn't say much because he could still see the situation clearly.
Konoha was already besieged on all sides, and he couldn't afford to cause more trouble for the younger generation.
Seeing this, Hoshino Kaede nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Sakumo and nodded to indicate that it was time for him to come on stage.
The protagonist of this meeting is the Hokage, not him.
Feeling the gaze of Hoshino Kaede, Sakumo nodded to him, then stood up, walked to the drawn map and said.
"This battle will be a crucial one. All ninjas will be dispatched. Except for some who stay to defend Konoha, all others will gather and fight."
"The enemy is heading towards Konoha in three forces, so we must also split into three teams to engage them."
"We have found out so far that the northwest is Iwagakure, the northeast is Kumogakure, and the east is Kirigakure."
"The border defense line has been breached, and they are heading here now."
In order to better reflect the routes of the three armies, Shuomao directly marked them on the map.
After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and murmured softly: "This means that the battle needs to be resolved quickly."
Since everyone present was very powerful, these words were naturally heard by everyone.
Shimura Danzo snorted coldly, his face full of disdain: "They are wishful thinking. They dare to attack Konoha with just these 20,000 people. They are really crazy."
This is not an exaggeration. Because Konoha won two wars and has developed over the years, it now has more than ten thousand standing ninjas. Its armed forces are overwhelming that of other villages.
Maruboshi Kosuke put his hands on his chin and said, "Don't take it lightly. Their strength should not be underestimated. We need to make reasonable arrangements to reduce our casualties."
What he meant was that the opponent was not weak, but Konoha would definitely be the winner, so let's see how to reduce casualties.
Upon hearing this, Shumao couldn't help but smile: "It seems that you are all very optimistic."
After saying this, he looked at the new generation of young ninjas, the first of whom was Minato Namikaze.
"Minato, you are Jiraiya's disciple, tell me what you think."
In an instant, the adults' eyes fell on this shining junior.
Minato Namikaze, the new generation of genius ninja of Konoha, is the only one. History still has a certain inertia, and he still became Jiraiya's apprentice.
After becoming his apprentice, his talent and ability spread across the sky like a rainstorm, making it impossible for his peers to see his back.
He learned the Flying Thunder God Technique developed by the second generation, and in terms of speed, he is the best in Konoha.
Even Uchiha Madara, who always looked down upon others, praised you: "I, Uchiha Madara, would like to call you the fastest!"
This young man is also well-liked by his seniors.
Namikaze Minato stood up calmly, his eyes were sharp, and his words made everyone feel refreshed and surprised: "My lords, I think this war is too sudden."
After he finished speaking, the originally casual look in Hoshino Kaede's eyes suddenly became sharp for a moment, and he looked at Minato deeply and obscurely.
I thought to myself, "This kid is quite perceptive."
Minato's words left everyone confused, only Sakumo asked with interest: "Why do you think so?"
Hearing this, Minato continued, "This time the three parties' attack was obviously planned in advance. The speed and decisiveness of their actions would have been absolutely impossible in the past."
"Also, there is one point in the intelligence that caught my special attention."
Minato paused, his expression turned serious, and said, "Even though it was the border defense line, it couldn't even hold out for half a day. This is very inconsistent with common sense. There must be something fishy going on."
All the guesses in his mind were poured out, shocking everyone present. They all became dumb and silent, looking at Minato with surprise.
Jiraiya, as a teacher, couldn't stop smiling, because he knew that everything his apprentice said was right.
He also had this doubt, but it was not as strong as Minato's, and he had not yet reached the point of speaking it out loud.
Hearing Minato's blunt but sharp words, Sakumo couldn't help but smile and nodded, agreeing: "This is a suspicious point, but we don't need to do it."
As he said this, he turned his gaze to Xingye Feng, who smiled as if everything was under control.
"Don't worry, the border situation was anticipated."
Minato saw that the two Hokage looked relaxed and he suddenly realized that it seemed that all this had been arranged in advance, so he sat down.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost right, Shuomao began to arrange personnel deployment.
Since the enemy had a large number of people, Sakumo simply waved his hand and sent out all his top combat forces.
The troops will be deployed according to their respective means and strengths, followed by additional support.
Konoha sent a total of 15,000 ninjas, with 5,000 assigned to each of the three battlefields.
Judging from the number of ninjas alone, Konoha is at a slight disadvantage.
But if there are not enough people, technology can be used to make up for it. Over the years, Orochimaru has not only developed technologies for people's livelihood.
It has also achieved outstanding results in the military field, which can be applied this time.
"Well, this is the current arrangement. Does anyone have any objections?" Shuomao said, looking around.
Everyone shook their heads, and then Sakumo stood up and gave an order: "Then Konoha will enter a state of war. All troops must hurry up and leave the village in one day!"
"Understood!" Everyone responded without hesitation, then stood up and left the meeting room to go to their respective posts.
