Chapter 31 Meetings and Presentations (2)
The people asked by the three generations should be the representatives of the mission group that followed the White Fang, and after they confirmed it, the basic picture of this incident was presented to everyone.
White Fang led the team, after everyone seized the mission information in the Land of Rain, they made a little contact with Hanzo, and then successfully evacuated, but when they were about to leave the territory of the Land of Rain, they were ambushed by the three generations of Wind Shadow and the Sand Ninja puppet troops, and under the frantic pursuit of the Sand Ninja Army, White Fang had to send a small force and personally lead them away with mission information to lead them away from the enemy, in exchange for the chance of survival of the large army.
Subsequently, there was a pursuit of the Wind Shadow and the Sand Ninja elite, and the front was likely to be intercepted by the Rain Ninja led by Hanzo, and for the sake of the survival of his partners, White Fang resolutely decided to abandon the mission and obtained a chance to retreat with intelligence.
Originally, if there is a success in a mission, there must be a failure, and when considering the cost, the captain has the right to abandon the mission beyond the scope of the team's ability.
The problem now is that the consequences of abandoning this mission are significantly higher than White Fang had anticipated.
Perhaps, if White Fang had known in advance that he would suffer such a serious backlash if he abandoned the mission, he would have continued the mission.
"So, ladies and gentlemen, that's all for this mission.
"I've summoned you to discuss the consequences of a failed mission."
As he spoke, Ape Fei took a puff of dry smoke, exhaled a cloud of gray smoke, and gently raised his chin at a dark part next to him.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
The dark side stepped forward and said:
"According to the orders of the village, we have sent many people to various places in the Fire Country, especially the national capital, to investigate the reactions of all walks of life."
The tanuki mask with a high raised nose obscured the dark expression, and his words were calm and inaudible:
"The results of the current investigation are quite bad, from the dignitaries to the common people, they are very angry about this loss of land, and in the long run, it will be very detrimental to the village's foundation in the land of fire."
Continuously, high-level adjectives such as quite, very, and ten were used to modify it, but the dark part seemed to feel that it was not enough to accurately describe the severity of the situation, and after a pause, he threw a bombshell:
"The daimyo has secretly mobilized the forces of the [Protectorate Province] to enter the national capital."
There was an instant "buzz" in the field, although the sound was very low, but everyone's surprise was still overflowing, and the venue was boiling.
The Gokuni Province is an armed force exclusive to the Daimyo, including the "Twelve Protectors of the Country" who swore allegiance to the Daimyo, some wandering samurai, and some members of the Fire Temple, etc., although these forces are nominally on the same level as Konoha, and the Daimyo does not need to notify Konoha when they move them, but at this sensitive time, the attitude of the Daimyo can be speculated when the Gokoku Province enters the national capital.
"Quiet."
Koharu frowned, maintaining order.
The crowd, who had only been excited for a moment because they were too surprised, immediately regained their quietness, and everyone raised their heads and focused their eyes on the few people in front of them who were qualified to speak.
Orochimaru's expression was gloomy, but his words were flat and a little hoarse, and there was a strange charm:
"Teacher Sarufei, although the daimyo mobilized the Protectorate Province, it is not certain whether it is aimed at Konoha or not, besides, as long as this matter is solved and the next explanation is given to the Fire Country, there is no need for the daimyo to overreact."
Orochimaru has been very active on the front line of the mission in recent years, and his exploits and prestige are impressive, hearing him say this, many people nodded secretly, and the hearts that were originally raised have also settled down.
Sarufei nodded in his heart at Orochimaru's treatment, but the purpose of his gathering of everyone was to solve this incident reasonably. If people do not understand the serious impact of this incident, then there is no way to solve the problem.
"What Orochimaru said makes sense, and that's exactly what we said, so we have to solve this matter as soon as possible and give a satisfactory explanation to the Fire Country."
Since the three generations of adults had spoken, everyone turned their minds to how to solve the matter, but when it came to this, most of them secretly looked at the white fang on the side.
White Fang came down from the stage and was still standing in his original position, neutral for a long time, so that no one dared to stand next to him at this time.
Everyone can see very clearly that the so-called "reasonable solution" of this matter is nothing more than finding a person who needs to be responsible for the matter, and at this time, the person who needs to be responsible for this matter the most is undoubtedly Baifang.
However, although White Fang is politically alone, as a strong man who is also a little afraid of three forbearances, whoever is the first to propose that White Fang take responsibility will offend White Fang. Just as White Fang's neutrality gave everyone no reason to support him, so there was no reason for everyone to offend White Fang.
For a moment, there was an eerie silence at the meeting.
The first voices to break the silence came from the most unexpected people.
"Hokage-sama, the failure of this mission has led to serious losses to the country, and even affected the daimyo's trust in the village, in the final analysis, it is because we gave up the mission, so we agree that all the blame should be borne by our mission team."
Gritting his teeth, the representative of the mission group who had spoken before to answer the questions of the three generations said such a paragraph.
"One to bear? Nonsense, you are carrying out the task of the village, and if the mission fails, how can I give you all the responsibility? In today's situation, you are responsible, and the leaders of the village are also responsible. The village is the backing of each of you, and the village will take care of this matter. ”
Sarufei took a puff of his cigarette and said in a deep voice, although his tone was not very impassioned, but looking at the expressions of those mission group members, at this time, even if they were made to make their hearts and minds for the sake of Hokage-sama, they would not hesitate.
Tuan Zang replied lightly:
"As captain and leader, Lord White Fang, shouldn't you say a word?"
Cheng secretly mocked in his heart, should it be said that they are worthy of the two people at the highest point of Konoha now, Ape Fei and Tuan Zang are bright and dark, there is no communication at all, Ape Fei is responsible for buying people's hearts, and Tuan Zang tacitly automatically takes over the dirty work that offends people. But outside of the words, the two people hope that White Fang will come out and take the responsibility down, and they are all the same.
White Fang's expression moved, he looked at the group of people in the mission group, and then turned to look at the ape Fei on the stage, and when his eyes turned, the light that entered his eyes changed, which reminded people of the blade moving under the light, so terrifying.
He spoke calmly, unaffected by the complicated gazes of the crowd:
"This mission failed, and I can't shirk my responsibility."
