Chapter 13: The Eve of War
In the sixth and third years of Konoha, after a period of calm in the ninja world, it ushered in a new turmoil.
In the Konoha Hokage's office, Kakashi crossed his hands and looked at the high-ranking people of Konoha with one eye.
"Everyone knows a lot about the situation."
"The reason for this meeting is because of what happened at the border some time ago."
The border of the Fire Nation has not been less in the past six months, first Shouhe was reborn, captured and plundered by a mysterious person, and then there was a fierce conflict between people suspected of Xiao and the big organization, judging from the remaining potholed battle ground, the scale is huge, and the number of participants must be quite a lot.
"Is there anything you want to say?" Kakashi threw the puzzle at the crowd.
Hinata Hinata habitually pinched the position of the philtant, "Hokage-sama, I don't think we can deal with the current Akatsuki with the same policy we did before. β

"Patriarch Hinata is indeed right." Konoha high-level advisor Mito Menyan nodded slightly, "Two years ago, Xiao was just participating in the war between small villages and small countries, selling and providing war resources, and asking for money, which is not a concern for a big village like Konoha. β
"But, gradually, their style of acting became more and more crazy, first swaggering to Konoha to show off their might...... "I don't know if Mito Menyan deliberately mentioned Kakashi's trauma, he also looked up at Kakashi who was sitting in the Hokage's position, but it's a pity that Kakashi has nothing else, he is very thick-skinned, and he was killed by Itachi, who is nine years younger than him, and this kind of thing is not taken to heart at all."
At least. He showed no displeasure on the surface.
Seeing that Kakashi was not affected, Mito Menyan continued, "Then, I planned to kill Ichisuru and start a war against Konoha Sunagakure. β
When Nara Lujiu heard this, his eyelids jumped!
He really wanted to say that it was you, a high-level consultant, who threw the blame for the Shouhe incident on Xiao at that time, how could this come true two years later? Everyone knows that it wasn't Xiao who did it, so you just take it seriously, right?
Mito Menyan couldn't hear Nara's heart, and he wisped his beard, "Akatsuki's evil purpose has been revealed before our eyes, they are going to collect tailed beasts!" I venture to guess that they are going to wage a bigger war! β
Kakashi, who was in the Hokage's seat, "Tsk" and licked his lower lip, "What do you mean?" β
"Initiative! Initiating a ...... for the Akatsuki organization"
"Encirclement and suppression!"
In the dim corner, Danzo, who was holding a cane, suddenly had a slight float in the corners of his mouth, and quickly returned to normal, quietly waiting for what the Hokage of Konoha would say.
"From the list of Akatsuki organizations we have...... "Nara Shikakudai Kakashi said, "It's a very hard piece of meat, and we're afraid we won't be able to chew it." β
"Huh." Tuan Zang, who had not spoken, suddenly opened his eyes, "Your Excellency Strategist, please don't blame the old man for his next words, dare to ask, do you know how many people are in Konoha's Shangnin?" Do you know how Konoha is preparing for war? Do you know if war resources are scarce, and how many layers of hard power we have compared to other villages? β
As soon as Danzo spoke, everyone in the room knew what he wanted to fart.
It's been two years, and as long as this guy opens that stinky mouth like a fart swallow, he will definitely arch the fire! This guy has been thinking about how to "set fire" in Konoha all day long, really because the Hokage is a moderate Kakashi, if it is replaced by Zhu Di, the ashes of Tuanzang are estimated to be soaked in water and drunk and pulled out as fertilizer.
Nara Shikahisa had the heart to refute, and the afterglow glanced at Kakashi, and found that his Hokage-sama was gesturing in secret, and he could only keep his mouth shut.
"My people have already found out the scope of Akatsuki's activities, they often appear in several villages bordering the land of earth and fire now, the opportunity is rare, I hope Hokage-sama ......" Danzou said this, his teeth clenched, "Make the right judgment....."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze, and everyone waited for Kakashi to open his mouth.
"Squeak-"
The office door was pushed open, and a touch of silver hair entered.
When Tuan Zang saw someone coming, his originally high emotions were instantly put away, and he returned to his seat and stopped talking.
"Jiraiya-sama!" As if he had seen a savior, Nara Shikaku opened the door and welcomed Jiraiya in.
"Haha! Sorry for interrupting the meeting! Zilai also scratched his head, his virtue is not at all as domineering as Sannin's role should be.
"Jiraiya, what's the news of Naruto?" It's weird today, and the sleeping Koharu, who has never spoken, suddenly opened the conversation, and this sentence made the temperature in the room drop a few points.
Jiraiya's expression immediately darkened, "There is no breakthrough." β
Seeing that everyone's mood was not high, Zilai immediately added.
"But...... I know where to go. β
"Where?" Kakashi became nervous, the seventh class was the first class he officially led, Sasuke defected, although he said that he had returned to the village again, but he had an inexplicable hostility towards his former teacher, Naruto, a thick-eyed guy whose whereabouts are still unknown, Sakura is relatively stable, but recently people have rarely seen it in the village, and the seventh class has been scattered, and when he heard that Naruto had news, he, who was a teacher, was still more concerned.
Jiraiya glanced at the people around, and after making sure that all the people present were high-level executives of Konoha and trustworthy characters, he slowly muttered: "The land of the earth." β
"The Land of Earth?! What did he do in that place? He...... It can't be an enemy, right!? "Hinata Hinata doesn't have much affection for Naruto, mainly because his eldest daughter, Hinata, because Naruto has embarked on the path of a bad girl, it's strange to have a good tone.
Of course, he didn't know that there was someone else who had caused Hinata's qualitative change.
"Naruto naturally won't defect...... He was for some other reason. Jiraiya let out a little panic, he remembered that it was half a year ago, he had seen Naruto's doppelganger from a distance, and the doppelganger looked at him as if he was looking at a mortal enemy, which made Jiraiya depressed for a long, long time.
Even Jiraiya didn't know why Naruto Uzumaki's personality changed so much after soaking in a hot spring. Compared to Naruto's change, Hinata's change is like sitting on an airplane and throwing a rod to fishβit's too far off.
"The Land of Earth?"
Instead, Xiaochun muttered to himself, "My spies in Yanyin haven't communicated with me for more than a month, and eighty or ninety percent have been disposed of, and this is already the third in half a year, Yanyin Village..... There may be big moves. β
"What do you mean?" Mito Menyan naturally knew what his old partner wanted to express, and immediately helped.
"Hokage-sama." Zhuan Xiaochun half-squinted his eyes, "Xiao is active on the border of the Land of Earth, and Iwakuin doesn't know what he is planning, and the Nine-Tails Pillar Force of my village has also appeared in the Land of Earth, so it is reasonable, we can't ignore it, right?" β
"Let me think about it......" Kakashi's hair was getting grayer and whiter.
