Chapter 210: Nagato's decision
Xianyin Island School.
Today, all the students from elementary school to high school are gathered.
The students looked at the headmaster on the stage, Uchiha Miya, with adoring faces.
Even though the Uchiha Guya is rarely really involved in specific teaching work, as the new leader of the Iron Country, and the glorious achievements in the past, the quality education and life provided to them are enough to be worshiped as idols.
After all, in the ninja world, strong strength is really respected.
They gave their lives in the war, but their names will always be remembered."
Uchiha Oya's heavy voice came from the stage.
Just the day before yesterday, the aftermath of the ninja war had completely disappeared.
The students who had been hired to participate in the war, as well as the students who were stationed on the border of the Iron Country to clear the old samurai forces, also returned to Xianyin Island.
A farewell ceremony for the victims has just been held here, and those names will be proudly engraved on the school's wall of honor, never to be removed.
In the war, the loss of Xianyin Island was actually not large, and they who lived in the ninja world had long been accustomed to turmoil and were not afraid of sacrifice.
On the contrary, after this sacrifice, they are admired by future generations, and their families receive high pensions, as well as priority education measures, which make the students of Xianyin Island extremely warm.
This is the kind of person who really values them and really treats them as people, not consumables.
In addition to mourning, today is also a day to honour the students who participated in the war.
Many students were directly promoted to senior titles, and even Mar, Zejin, and Zhaomei jumped directly to the special level.
Other students have also made more or less jumps, and not only military students, but also students from ordinary colleges have also been awarded medals here for business, research and development, etc.
This is the first large-scale award on Xianyin Island, so it is particularly exciting.
Those high-achieving students who don't like color can hardly hide their excitement.
And those who have been honored have also been left behind.
Those students who were not able to participate in the Third Ninja World War because they were not old enough, not to mention the heat of their eyes.
Even to the point of absurdity, they would like to fight for a few more years, so that they too can go to the battlefield to shine.
The students, Uchiha Shisui looked at the others with such hot eyes.
It is also unlucky to stop the water, his strength is definitely enough to get a lot of credit on the battlefield.
But because he wasn't old enough, he couldn't participate in the war with his classmates - Azabui and Terumi Ming.
It was only in the last year that I went to the battlefield to fight soy sauce.
The fur that he got only allowed him to get some bonuses, and the merit was not enough.
"Ah, don't be disappointed with the little stop water."
Ma Buyi, who had just finished receiving the award, noticed the water stop and whispered, "There will be a chance in a few days." ”
Azabui became Uchiha Miya's assistant early on, and naturally learned a lot more about the inside story than others.
There is renewed turmoil on the side of the Land of Rain, and the four major powers have already sent people over, so naturally someone from the Xianyin Island side must also come to help the Xiao Organization.
It's a pity that the three sisters, Azabuyi, Samui and Yugiren, are now gradually moving closer to the system, and there will be fewer and fewer opportunities to go to the front line.
On the contrary, it is to stop the water and they will be the main force of this operation.
Sure enough, within two days, Zhishui was called to Longshou Island.
In addition to him, there are quite a few people who come here to gather.
The newcomer Ye Cang, Zhaomei Ming, Ghost Friends, and Zai Bu are also here.
Zhishui vaguely guessed what the opportunity was that Mabuyi had said before.
This time, it was Uchiha Miya who personally gave the task.
He looked around and pointed to the map brought by Ma Buyi on the side: "The movements of the four major powers, you should have heard about them in the past two days. ”
"Now they are trying to support the local magnates in the Land of Rain and divide the Land of Rain. And the Land of Rain is our ally, and the Four Great Powers seem to be targeting the Land of Rain, but in fact they are suppressing the spread of our ideas, so we have to fight this battle. ”
"However, the four great powers do not dare to take on the ninja world war now, the situation cannot be considered bad, they don't send many people, and they are younger."
"Speaking of which, it's actually a training exercise and a skirmish that they conducted with the help of the Land of Rain."
"You're going to have to get involved in it and hone it well."
The Uchiha Guya was not angry, but just stated why he wanted to fight, how he fought, and how painful it was, and then began to assign tasks.
There are not many people going to the Land of Rain this time, there are about 4,000 people from the four major countries, and there are only 500 people on Xianyin Island.
Although the number is small, they are all elites from the school, and they are not bad with the elite members of the Xiao organization.
No matter how many there are, there are not so many current senior students in Xianyin Island, and they have to be filled with middle school students, which is what Xianyin Island does not want to see.
"Ye Cang, this time the commander-in-chief will be handed over to you, if there is something to discuss with the Xiao organization, listen to them more in civil affairs, and you can judge for yourself if necessary."
Ye Cang received the order and nodded slightly.
Not long after I came to Xianyin Island, I had to participate in the war in the name of Xianyin Island, which felt a little weird.
However, Ye Cang also knew that this operation was an opportunity for her to successfully take root in Xianyin Island.
She can gain the recognition of others from Xianyin Island in this proxy war.
"According to the United States, the War Department will hand it over to you, you have several years of war experience, and you are doing a good job."
Yu Ye named Zhao Meiming, who is now a girl who is almost fifteen years old, and she is much calmer.
Then there are other core members of the War Department, ghost friends, no more slashing, full moon, and so on.
Their responsibility is to fight head-on, and the pressure is greater.
"Stop the water, and the wartime information will be handed over to you."
The Uchiha Guya looked at the water one last time.
Zhishui was a little surprised, and said unconfidently: "Me? ”
He didn't participate in the Third Shinobi World War much, and he didn't have enough experience.
Needless to say, the impact of intelligence in warfare can sometimes be the difference between victory and defeat.
Yuye patted him on the shoulder and said with relief: "Don't be too stressed, the intelligence of the Xiao organization itself is very good, communicate well with them, just ask for more advice." ”
The Xiao organization itself has been fighting on multiple fronts in the Land of Rain all year round, guarding against others, and after the masses came in, the intelligence embarked on a completely different path from other forces, which can be described as pervasive.
Zhishui himself is a ninja with a very powerful body and illusion, suitable for special operations, as long as it is paired with the Xiao organization, the intelligence pressure is very small.
It's not so much about letting him lead, it's about giving him a chance to learn and grow.
Thinking about this layer, there were envious glances around.
This is the so-called importance of leadership.
The heavy water stop was a little excited, but also a little worried.
"I'll do it!"
……
Konoha, the Hokage Building.
Watergate looked up from the pile of materials and rubbed the corners of his sore eyes.
Konoha's business was robbed by the Fire Country, and Konoha definitely didn't want to see this kind of situation.
Other Hokage may have gotten used to this way of mastering only force and not economy.
Although there are delegated tasks as a source of income, they are not stable.
But Watergate, who has experienced two major wars, knows that when the war comes, the entrusted mission will be completely broken.
Then Konoha who loses his economic ability will also lose his autonomy.
So basically, no matter whether they want to fight the war or not, they will compromise with the Fire Nation in the end.
"Independent."
This is the point that has been the biggest headache for Watergate lately.
If it is for Konoha, then economic independence is the best way.
But if they are economically independent, they will have the capital to be independent of the Fire Country, and if there is an error in the strategic judgment between themselves and the Fire Country.
Then will you still listen to the command of the Fire Nation at that time?
In the past, this was something that didn't need to be considered, because I didn't have that ability.
But now that he has the ability, even if Konoha doesn't want to, he has to agree?
What if you don't agree?
Won't Konoha be a country of China at that time?
This was also a rebellion against the old order.
It's just that the degree of rebellion is not as exaggerated as the Uchiha Miya who directly lifted the table.
There seems to be no answer to this question, and Watergate sometimes doesn't even dare to think deeply.
He shook his head, put aside those rebellious thoughts for the time being, and raised his head to Lu Jiu, who was invited to work in the office, and said, "Is the candidate finalized?" ”
In the matter of the Land of Rain, Konoha has no reason to refuse.
But from the perspective of personal feelings and the interests of the village, Watergate did not want to participate.
So this time to send troops to the Land of Rain, Konoha is the most procrastinating.
The day before yesterday, Tsunade was the commander in chief with grain and grass first.
Today's words are the day when the allocation of the main battle unit is determined.
Those people are going to fight this battle, which is a topic that Konoha has been arguing about lately.
It stands to reason that sending three generations and sending those old people to the Fire Nation is what the Fire Nation wants to see the most.
But Konoha didn't have that will to fight, so after thinking about it, he simply followed the trend and sent some new generations over casually, and he became a training soldier.
As for the ending, Konoha is mainly life-saving anyway, and everything else is arbitrary.
Nara Shikaku stopped writing and said, "Except for Tsunade-sama, the main force in the battle is mainly Kakashi, Uchiha Obito's generation. Still."
Speaking of this, Nara Shikahisa was a little hesitant.
Seeing that the water gate signaled to continue, he spoke again: "I also heard as soon as possible, the people sent by the Daimyo Mansion of the Fire Country seem to want to go with them. I've already sent someone to communicate, and I haven't reported the results yet. ”
When Watergate heard this, he couldn't help but be a little irritable.
Participating in the war is a matter of Konoha, and the people sent by the Daimyo Mansion to exchange and study are also going, what does this mean?
It's clear that I'm going to oversee the army.
This means that the Daimyo's trust in Konoha is no longer what it used to be.
It also indirectly shows that the Daimyo Mansion hopes that Konoha will take a more resolute attitude.
It didn't take long to wait, and sure enough, someone from the intelligence department came and reported the news.
The people of the Daimyo's Mansion do have this meaning.
They will send three members to join the Konoha ninjas on the battlefield of the Land of Rain.
Nara Lu looked at the water gate in embarrassment for a long time, this daimyo's mansion is clear, what does Konoha say here?
As a military advisor, he knows that Watergate is currently confused.
Is it to fight for independence and go out of a different way, or to stick to the rules and continue the old model?
This choice represents two very different paths.
Watergate was indeed hesitant.
The Daimyo's approach undoubtedly made him a little more determined in his heart to no longer be controlled by others.
How?
Eventually, he shook his head and sighed, "We're still too passive." ”
Nara Lujiu heard the meaning and didn't feel so sorry.
Because Watergate's attitude has changed, but now it suffers from the lack of means.
Just like a child who wants to run away from home, he can do it with his will, but how can he survive after doing it?
If Konoha and the Daimyo's Mansion tear their faces, it is foreseeable that their main means of income now, the task commission, will be cut off a lot by the Daimyo's Mansion.
Although everyone does the task to see if Konoha does it or not, don't forget that Konoha's main task is still domestic, that is, within the control of the Daimyo of the Fire Country.
As long as the Daimyo Mansion operates a little, Konoha will lose more than half of the missions, which can be regarded as light.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and Konoha does not have independent capital now.
Thinking of this, Nara Shikaku said, "Then according to the original plan, let's take a look at Kakashi and Uchiha Obito." On the Daimyo's side, this can only be done for the time being. ”
Watergate nodded, "After passing over, let people pay attention to their movements." ”
Nara Shikaku: "Understood. ”
It's said to be a matter of paying attention.,In fact, it's trying not to let the people of the Daimyo Mansion come into contact with too many core things.。
It would be great if the lake could get them right.
……
Kakashi received the order and was not surprised.
This time, the old ninjas were not sent out, and they were all busy dealing with the mountain of tasks.
Of course, it could also be just a reason.
In any case, this time, except for Tsunade's predecessors as the forward commander who stabilized the morale of the army, the other operations department, intelligence department, and logistics department are all young people.
Kakashi, who is relatively young, took over the War Department this time.
Uchiha Obito took over the Intelligence Department.
Nohara Rin takes over the logistics department.
The three of them all belong to the Hokage's Feng Shui Gate students, and their performance in the last war was excellent.
There was nothing wrong with the arrangement, but Kakashi was a little hesitant-
"You all have to get involved in this kind of thing, aren't you afraid of making trouble with Konoha?"
Kakashi leaned against the railing, watching the people of the street below.
After getting along during this time, he found that Chang Ze liked to stay in a place where no one paid attention, silently watching other people laugh and scold, whether it was mediocre or turbulent.
In short, it just won't fit in, just look at the edge.
The only thing Kakashi is worried about is Nagasawa's problem.
After the trip to the Snow Country, although he didn't know what secret Nagasawa had, he could basically confirm that Nagasawa had a problem.
The two tacitly did not reveal each other's identities, but Kakashi didn't want such a time bomb to stay in Konoha either.
Konoha has people he doesn't like, a lot, but there are also people he doesn't want to be hurt, such as a few of his friends, such as Shifu Shimi.
When Nagato heard this, he just glanced at Kakashi silently and didn't answer.
He has been silent for the past few days.
As Madara Uchiha's close friend, he knew very well that this plan against the Land of Rain was likely to have Madara's shadow.
He even wondered if the element of sending him to Konoha was deliberately branched.
Madara Uchiha wouldn't not know that he was from the Land of Rain, even if he had nothing to do with the Akatsuki organization now, but his hometown was suffering, how could he be indifferent?
Even if he reassured himself that this might be one of the preludes to the realization of Madara Uchiha's final plan, but.
He still couldn't get over that hurdle.
Thinking that the Rain Country was experiencing war again because of Madara Uchiha, he was irrepressibly repulsed by Madara.
Even, some began to doubt something.
Like those plans, like his own state.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Kakashi said bluntly, "This time you go to the Land of Rain, will you follow?" ”
Nagato said: "I'm just a guard, and it's not up to me to decide whether to go or not." ”
Soon after, people from the Daimyo Mansion came to announce the list of people who had gone to the Land of Rain.
Among them is Nagato, who has performed well.
And Nagato was silent, not choosing to refuse.
