Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Candidates and Madness
Konohagakure.
In the Hokage's office.
At this time, the room was full of guests. Looking around, except for Danzo-sama of the Konoha F4 fighting outside, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were already present.
Now, they were making plans for this war.
"I don't care about previous matters, but in this war with Kumogakure Village, if logistics drags us down, don't blame me for not giving you face."
The old village chief put the harsh words upfront.
This war was different from the past; Kumogakure Village had almost reached the heart of the Land of Fire. One mistake and everything would be lost.
If Raikage really drank the victory wine in Konohagakure, his lifelong reputation would be ruined. He couldn't joke about his future.
"What do you mean by that, Hiruzen? Koharu and I have worked hard for the village all our lives and have never done anything to betray the village."
Mitokado Homura said righteously.
After all, they were esteemed Hokage advisors. What's wrong with diverting some resources from the war supplies?
Isn't that only natural?
As for the tense situation at the front,
That's a command issue. What does it have to do with them? It doesn't stop them from eating well in the back.
"I'll only say this once."
But this time, the old village chief's attitude was very firm, and he had no intention of indulging them. In the past, he could turn a blind eye, but when it came to his position, the old village chief would show his iron side.
Didn't you see that Danzo's position was abolished?
However, when mentioning Danzo, a trace of relief flashed in Sarutobi's eyes. He took out a piece of information and handed it to the two Hokage advisors.
"Although I despise some of the things Danzo has done, I have to admit that Danzo's sense of war has caught up with mine."
"These are the three strategies he proposed for the front line situation. He believes that using all three together can change the unfavorable situation in one fell swoop!"
Finally, Danzo's three strategies to defeat the enemy were brought to light.
Yes.
Even if the front-line commanders agreed with Danzo's plan, it still needed the old village chief's approval to be implemented.
Sarutobi planned to cover all aspects of this war. Everything had to go through his hands, or he wouldn't be at ease.
"Danzo is truly impressive. With these three strategies, Kumogakure Village won't be able to hold out."
Mitokado Homura nodded after reading the intelligence report, agreeing with Danzo's ideas.
"Especially the part about making Iwagakure Village work without paying them. That's a brilliant move."
Utatane Koharu also gave her evaluation, a proud look flashing in her eyes.
"After the previous wars, the village has no resources to buy Oonoki's support. Making him carry the burden for Konohagakure is an honor for Iwagakure Village."
Konohagakure is the number one ninja village!
We can't just help anyone!
"You both think this plan is excellent?"
Sarutobi lit his pipe, confirming the thoughts of his two advisors one last time.
There was no other way.
The old village chief's talents were all focused on internal matters. When it came to war, he wasn't as sharp as Danzo. If he wasn't, the two advisors certainly weren't either.
These three had never been on the battlefield since taking office, while Danzo had long surpassed them in this area. There was no other option but to accept Danzo's proposal.
Since things were already like this, there was no harm in trying.
He didn't believe that when Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village started fighting, they would have time to think about money.
However, the three of them finally focused on the last of Danzo's three strategies.
"Hiruzen, you..."
Mitokado Homura's eyes flickered, but he didn't finish his sentence. The others understood his meaning.
Sarutobi really had a drug that could make the tailed beasts go berserk!
Danzo's idea was to send the drug to the frontline, find a high-profile person to defect, and then get close to the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee and drug him.
"Ahem."
Sarutobi's expression was a bit unnatural. He was annoyed with his old friend for not discussing this privately. Now, the situation he had worked hard to suppress was resurfacing!
"I'll say it again, the Nine-Tails incident wasn't my doing. The drug was left by Orochimaru, and it can indeed cause hallucinations in tailed beasts."
"But I've heard that the new Eight-Tails Jinchuriki has a very lively personality and isn't easy to approach."
With a serious face, the old village chief tried to change the subject.
"I've heard that too. Those who can get along with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki are all skilled in singing and rapping."
Mitokado Homura nodded, then suddenly thought of someone.
"It's rumored that the Hyuga clan's Patriarch Hyuga Hitoshi has a talent for this. Why not let him..."
But before he could finish, the old village chief stopped him. His eyes were obscure, and he thought of someone else instead of Mitokado Homura's suggestion.
After the Nine-Tails incident, during the blame-shifting meeting, one person was particularly wronged and bore the brunt of the villagers' anger.
Hallucinogenic drugs + Sharingan that can control the Nine-Tails + a hero's son who couldn't bear the insults and pressure and defected...
No one seemed more suitable!
But the old village chief didn't know if Kakashi could sing and rap.
"We'll discuss this later. Let's implement the first two strategies first."
The situation in the ninja world was unpredictable, and the war between Konohagakure and Kumogakure Village remained brutal.
But as Danzo headed to the Land of Earth with an important mission and Konohagakure's forces retreated, the entire battlefield suddenly took a strange turn.
The underground flames of war seemed to affect the emotions of those in the heavens as well.
Finally.
After hundreds of people persistently fanned the flames, the branch family Patriarch Otsutsuki Mikito hadn't even had time to create the purple Tenseigan before the war abruptly broke out.
At first, the conflict erupted in a beef noodle shop run by a branch family member.
But when a main family Otsutsuki coldly said he didn't eat beef and killed the branch family shop owner on the spot, the situation spiraled out of control.
Killing someone just because they didn't eat beef?
How outrageous can the main family get?!
As more and more branch and main family members joined the fight, the entire moon turned into a brutal battlefield.
Both sides were too angry to move the battle elsewhere, so they fought right where they were!
In this situation, the branch family Patriarch, Otsutsuki Toneri's father, Otsutsuki Mikito, couldn't gather his clan to sacrifice their eyes.
Helpless, he could only lead his clan in a direct assault, hoping to show the main family how foolish they were!
But since they were all taught by the same master, the outcome depended on who was better at underhanded tactics and sneak attacks!
Battles rarely ended in a clear victory, leaving everyone feeling frustrated.
This frustration made both sides more determined to prove themselves, leading to even more intense fighting.
On the surface, this war was even bloodier and more brutal than the one between Kumogakure Village and Konohagakure.
On the battlefield.
A branch family member had just killed a main family member with a sneak attack and was about to laugh when his head flew off, taken by another sneak attack from behind. The attacker then moved on to the next target.
The war was completely out of control!
But then, in the next moment.
A golden light shot into the sky, turning the monochrome moon into daylight, as a golden moon slowly rose!
Everyone's eyes were drawn to it.
No, it wasn't a golden moon; it looked more like a giant eye with cosmic patterns!
Like a moon dyed in gold, the mysterious eye with a terrifying presence floated in the sky.
Sharp-eyed people noticed a handsome man standing in the center of the golden eye.
The man's long hair flowed without wind, and his every move exuded a refreshing aura.
But his next words left everyone in shock!
He clapped his hands, signaling for everyone to quiet down.
Then he spoke in a loud voice.
"My dear compatriots!"
"Now, everyone, look at me! I have an announcement!"
With blue light flashing in his pupils, Hyuga Hitoshi tilted his head slightly and continued his dramatic act.
"From today, I am the new Patriarch of the Otsutsuki clan!"
