The next night, in the large conference room of the Hokage House.

The three generations of Hokage apes are flying in the sun, the advisors Mito Menyan, Koharu Zhuan, and Shimura Danzo, the head of the upper ninja squad, Nara Shikahisa, and the special upper ninja Tsuki Haruyo, who was not qualified to appear here. And there is a special participant on the side, who is sitting not far away.

"Hizai, you suddenly informed us that we are going to hold a high-level meeting because of something important to say. ”

Menyan spoke first, his eyes glancing at Qingyang, a special participant. In fact, it was not just Menyan alone, the sudden appearance of Qingyang surprised everyone present. It had been clearly stated at the meeting that Qingyang had disappeared, but now he was here again. In connection with the mission he went to perform before, everyone already had a premonition that today's content must be related to Orochimaru.

Sure enough, Zai Menyan just finished asking. The third generation opened his mouth to speak, and he told the information that Qingyang had seen in Kikyo City and everyone else, and these old fritters on the field immediately couldn't guess the sinister intentions of Orochimaru and Sand Shinobi.

"It's too much! Sand Shinobi betrayed us!"

Zhuan Xiaochun slapped the table violently, and the wrinkles couldn't hide the anger on his face.

"It's no wonder that when we invited Sha Yin to participate in the middle ninja exam, we also had an attitude of weakening them. Now it seems that it has really caused Kazekage's dissatisfaction, and it is normal for him to fight back. ”

Menyan was relatively rational in his analysis, and at the same time looked at Tuan Zang. At the beginning, it was Tuan Zang's proposal to invite Sha Yin, and sure enough, now the contradictions between the two sides have been further intensified. This made Menyan, who had always advocated not suppressing Tuanzang too much, feel dissatisfied......

Tuan Zang naturally saw Menyan's dissatisfaction, but he didn't see it. said in a deep voice without changing his face.

"Now that it's happened, we should think about how to deal with it. Instead of blaming a certain person, after all, no one wants such a thing to happen. ”

"The words of the Tuan Zang advisor are very reasonable, and the top priority is to get out of the current predicament. ”

Shikakuya interjected to try to lighten the mood while starting his analysis.

"I think the safest way to solve this problem is to terminate the ninja exam for a reason and send all the ninjas from each ninja village out of the country. Then strengthen the defense of the village. At the same time, I will try to reconcile with the sand ninja and deal with this friction through negotiations. ”

"Well, I think Shikaku's proposal is appropriate. ”

Menyan nodded in agreement.

"But what about the rest of Orochimaru, he had threatened us in the Forest of Death before that we would not allow the Shinobi exam to be stopped, otherwise he would most likely launch a terrorist attack. If a ninja with shadow-level strength like him acts desperately, the threat is definitely no smaller than that of a sand ninja village. ”

After Koharu calmed down, he also began to think and raised his own questions.

It was also at this time that Qingyang raised his hand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a suggestion that is different from that of Lord Shikaku......"

"Huh?"

Seeing Qingyang suddenly speak, everyone present was stunned. At first, the advisors thought that the third generation had Haruyo also participate in this meeting just because he was the one who witnessed the betrayal of Shinobi, but they did not expect that he would express his opinion on such an occasion.

"Well, you can talk to the advisors about your plans. ”

What they didn't expect was that the three generations actually agreed to Qingyang's request, and as for Lu Jiu, he also wanted to hear his disciple's proposal to disagree with him for the first time.

"That's right, I think we can take this opportunity......"

Astound!

After listening to Qingyang's plan, everyone present looked at Qingyang in shock, except for the three generations. Menyan even looked at Tuan Zang, and when he first heard about this plan, he even thought that this was Tuan Zang's strategy. Tuan Zang's eyes were full of surprises, and it was obvious that such a strategy was very much in line with Tuan Zang's appetite.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Tuan Zang shook his head slightly, and a smile that didn't look good came out of his stiff face.

"Sure enough, he is still a young man who has never been on the battlefield, although this strategy is subtle, but there are not a few omissions. If you follow your plan, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to launching a large-scale siege and annihilation campaign. So the question is, what about the resettlement of civilians in wartime? And you are so confident that you will be able to successfully capture the Wind Shadow and the Tailed Beast? You must know that neither of them is easy to deal with. In the implementation of the plan, no matter which link there is, if there is a problem, it will bring a lot of losses to the village. ”

Tuan Zang's words made Qingyang's face uneasy, he didn't expect that there were so many loopholes in his plan.

"But ......"

Tuan Zang changed his tone and continued.

"Captain Qingyang's proposal is still good, if we all discuss the details together, I believe we can definitely come up with a perfect plan in the end. So I agree with this plan. ”

"I disagree!"

Lu Jiu rarely made such a voice with no room for maneuver at a high-level meeting.

"Today's problem happened because Sand Shinobi has a deep grudge against us. If you want to keep the peace and stability of both sides for a long time, you should try to bridge the relationship between the two sides. If such a radical method is adopted, it will only increase the resentment of the sand shinobi towards us. This is not conducive to the future development of the relationship. So this plan is not advisable!"

In response to Lu Jiu's questioning, Qingyang chose to remain silent, and he didn't want to refute his teacher. But on the other side, Koharu spoke.

"The resentment of the sand is not the resentment of all the sand shinobi, if we can successfully capture the wind shadow, it will all be easier. As the first captured shadow in history, what face did he have to stay on the stage after the war. At that time, as long as we unite the daimyo and the daimyo of the Land of Wind to embrace a Kazekage that leans towards us, it won't be long before the two sides will naturally enter a new equilibrium. ”

"Well, I agree with Koharu. Moreover, the plan proposed by Qingyang is only based on the fact that if Sha Yin still chooses to betray our covenant and take action in the Zhongnin exam. In this way, even if we do such a thing, it can only be a self-defense counterattack, and we are not morally inferior. Taking a step back, it would have been better if Shinobu had chosen to give up on betrayal. We're not going to start the program anymore, it's just a drill at best. We have nothing to lose. ”

After repeatedly considering Qingyang's plan, Menyan also abandoned his original idea and supported Qingyang instead.

"This ......"

Lu Jiu was stunned, he didn't expect that Mito Menyan and Zhuankou Koharu, who had always advocated conservatism, would also agree to Qingyang's suggestion, and he subconsciously looked at the three generations. However, the three generations did not express their opinions, but looked at Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya, you can also tell us what you think. ”

"Alright then......"

The white-haired uncle scratched his head and put away his casual appearance.

"I don't understand the politics of big villages, and I don't want to get involved. I only know that from the current point of view, if the middle ninja exam is canceled, it means that the threat of Orochimaru has become more uncertain. And if the middle ninja exam is still held, it can be made clear that Orochimaru will almost definitely do it on that day, so in my opinion, the best time to get rid of Orochimaru in one battle is on the day of the middle ninja exam. As the saying goes, there is no thief for a thousand days, and the cost of always being vigilant to guard against the Great Snake Pill is too high. So I think it's most appropriate to do it on the day of the Nakashinobi exam if I simply refer to getting rid of Orochimaru, and as for the matter with the Sand Shinobi, I don't express an opinion. ”

"It's over!"

Hearing Zilai say this, Lu Jiu spread his hands. He knew that this was almost equivalent to all the advisors and one of the three ninjas, and Jirai, who was also on Qingyang's side. This made him feel deeply worried in his heart, although now through the addition of the old rivers and lakes, even he can't see that there is any big loophole in this strategy. However, he has always adhered to the idea that "when one party maliciously calculates the other, it must pay a huge price invisibly." ”

Although so far he doesn't know exactly what kind of price Konoha will pay.

Although Shikaku tried to change. However, when such a huge interest, and an interest that was taken into account in almost every way, was placed before the public, his opposition, which had no substantive proposal, became very weak. In the end, I could only watch the three generations of clappers, pass Qingyang's plan, and begin to discuss the details and implement them.
