Chapter 74 Emergency Meeting
The Nine-Tails incident caused Konoha to suffer heavy losses. After the funeral of the dead ninja in the Nine-Tails Incident was held www.biquge.info, the four high-ranking members of Konoha immediately organized an emergency meeting to resolve Konoha's current predicament.
"Although we succeeded in repelling the Nine-Tails, the sacrifice was too great. The third Hokage said.
In the Nine-Tails incident, 4,321 Konoha ninjas were killed and 2,672 wounded, and 5,877 civilians were killed and 13,265 were injured. Such casualties have reduced Konoha's combat power to the lowest point since the establishment of the village.
"We don't have time to bask in grief, and the immediate need is to elect a suitable successor to fill the Hokage's vacancy. Said Koharu.
"If the Hokage is vacant, Master Haoto is the most suitable candidate, but... Nara Shikahisa said.
"Well, with Haoren's ability and prestige, although he is still very young, there is no problem in taking over as Hokage. Mito Menyan nodded and said, "Hiroto, why did you suddenly leave Konoha?"
"I don't understand either, I didn't understand what Haoren left in the end. Zhuan Xiaochun shook his head and said, "Hichi, do you understand?"
"I guess there's one possibility. The third Hokage said, "Danzo, what do you think?"
"I think ... A knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting Tuan Zang.
"Looks like the information I need has arrived... Come on in. Shimura said.
The comer, indeed, is a member of the root.
"What I asked you to investigate, how's it going. Shimura asked.
"Lord Tuanzang, the spies who arranged for the countries to report, Yunyin, Mistin, Iwain, and even Shayin, reached a secret agreement: ask us Konoha to hand over the Konoha Ghost Talent, otherwise, the four major ninja villages will unite to attack Konoha. The shadow ministry reported.
With a "bang", Tuan Zangqi punched the table, and several obvious cracks appeared on the table.
"It seems that my guess ... That's right. The third Hokage said.
"Damn, I didn't expect even Sha Yin to be... However, even so, the Hao people don't need to leave the village, and under the leadership of the Hao people, we can't be defeated. "Zhuan Xiaochun was angry and wanted to go to war directly.
"Alas, calm down, Koharu, not long after the end of the third war, everyone's psychological trauma has not been well recovered, plus the impact of this Nine-Tails incident... Konoha can't fight anymore. Mito Menyan said calmly and analytically.
"Yes, under the leadership of Haoren, Konoha is not at a disadvantage in terms of combat power, but now Konoha can no longer afford the risk of going to war again. The three generations of Hokage said helplessly.
Although the job of a ninja is to fight, a long war can lead to the collapse of the village. You must know that ninjas are only the military force of a village, and civilians are the core of a village.
Ninjas don't mind going to war, but civilians don't want the war to continue. Because once war breaks out, the economic burden on civilians will increase, life will become more difficult, and they will face the threat of death all the time.
As the war lasts for a long time, the number of civilians in Konoha is destined to decrease sharply, and at that time, the Konoha ninjas can't even buy daily necessities, and they don't even have a place to buy anything to eat.
"Alas, Konoha, I really need to recuperate... However, the situation of the other ninja villages should be similar to Konoha, and they should not dare to start a war easily. Zhuan Xiaochun said with a frown.
"Young Master Haoren is the father-killing enemy of the four generations of Thunder Shadow, if we don't hand over Young Master Haoren, the other villages are not sure, but Yun Yin will definitely choose to go to war regardless of everything, at that time, as long as the other three villages send a little force to harass us, Konoha will be passive. Nara Shikahisa said.
"That's right, and, if it really comes to that time, Haoren, will choose for Konoha... Death. The third Hokage said.
"Choosing to defect is the only way for Haoren to survive. Shimura Tuanzo said helplessly: "As soon as the Nine-Tails incident ended, Haoren thought of this, and Haoren's gaze is farther than ours." β
"So, why did Haoren deal with his younger brother?" "In this disaster, countless people died because of the Nine-Tails, and Naruto, the youngest son of the four generations of Hokage, has now become the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, if Naruto's background is hidden and only the people of Konoha know that he is the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, even if we guarantee his safety, his life is doomedγγγγγγ β
"I don't understand, but Haoren must have his intentions in doing this, and we just follow Haoren's wishes. Shimura said.
"Yes, that's right. Mito Menyan said approvingly.
"So what about the Hokage's vacancy? Nara Shikahisa said.
"Although there are excellent shinobi among them, it is undeniable that they are not enough to lead the crowd with their experience. Said Koharu.
"So, who else could there be?" said Nara Shikaku.
"As a last resort, this is an extraordinary time, and I am willing to take on this important responsibility. The third Hokage stood up and said.
"You're willing to go out. Mito Menyan said.
"Since you are willing to say yes ... Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shimura Danzo.
"You once gave up the position of Hokage, are you really up to the task?" Shimura Tunzo didn't want the three generations of Hokage to continue to control Konoha.
"You're going too far. Mito Menyan said.
"So who do you think is suitable? Said Koharu.
"I recommend Orochimaru. Shimura said.
"It can be said that Orochimaru was indeed a talented genius in the era of war, however, he had malice and ambition hidden in his eyes, and he could not entrust the Hokage with the heavy responsibility. The three generations of Hokage said firmly: "It's my old man who can't do it himself, until the next Hokage grows up, just when I'm a transition, so it's okay." β
"Moreover, Kato Broken, Tsunade, Jiraiya and others are also good Hokage successors, and when they come back, Hichisha can step down, and I support the decision of the three generations. Mito Menyan said.
"That's right, and in a time of crisis like this, handing over the village to the experienced three generations is the best decision. Said Koharu.
"Hmph... As soon as Hiroto returns to the village, Hiroto will take over as Hokage, how?" Shimura knew that he could no longer object.
"No problem. The three generations of Hokage nodded and said: "I announce three things, first: Konoha Ghost Talent, Wave Wind Hiroto, because of the assassination of the three generations of Hokage, from now on, for Konoha rebellion; Second: Konoha Ninja, if you meet Konoha Ghost Talent in the future, you must follow any orders of Konoha Ghost Talent, if Konoha Ghost is in danger, you must do your best to rescue; Third: The youngest son of the fourth generation, from now on, is named Naruto Uzumaki, Konoha Ninja, hiding his background, but must protect his safety." Got it?"
"Understood. "The ninjas present all understand that even if the Bofeng Haoren becomes a traitor, they are still the Konoha ghost talent of Konoha and their young master.
After this emergency meeting, the three generations of Hokage led the people of Konoha to start the reconstruction of Konoha, and the four major ninja villages wanted to take advantage of the Konoha crisis to force Konoha to hand over the plan of Konoha Ghost Talent, but because of the active defection of the people of the wave and the wind were stillborn.
