This December.

The four great nations of fire, wind, earth, and water formed an alliance.

Launch a war against the Kingdom of Ghosts.

The three key sentences were immediately captured by the ninja clan leaders present. Even those who were calm by nature couldn't help but change their faces in shock when they heard Tsunade suddenly announce such a thing.

The atmosphere in the conference room immediately felt like it was falling into a quagmire, making people feel extremely depressed.

"Fire, Hokage-sama...are you saying that you want to start a war in the Kingdom of Demons?"

A ninja clan leader stood up and questioned, thinking that his ears had heard wrongly or that he was hearing hallucinations.

To start a war at this time, or to go to the Kingdom of Demons... This is obviously a showdown with the wrong opponent at the wrong time. And they, Konoha, will most likely be defeated by the opponent.

It was impossible not to help some of them not feel shocked and panicked.

"Yes. This matter has passed a high-level resolution, and the daimyo also fully supports this decision. Moreover, Sunagakure of the Kingdom of Wind, Iwagakure of the Kingdom of Earth, and Kirigakure of the Kingdom of Water will also be

He is an ally of Konoha. Do you have any questions about this?"

Tsunade sat calmly and calmly. From being irritable at the beginning, she gradually became able to stabilize her mentality.

Since the fact that the four countries jointly attacked the Kingdom of Demons could not be changed, she could only fulfill her responsibilities as a Hokage, finalize the matter, and promote its implementation.

Compared to Tsunade's calmness, the ninja clan leaders below looked at each other in confusion. Questions? How could there be no questions? Rather, there were more questions in their minds than mountains.

There were also some ninja clan leaders who were thoughtful.

Although they provoked a war against the Kingdom of Ghosts, they did not know about it until now.

But if you think about it carefully, there are traces to follow.

If a war is to be fought, then sufficient supplies must be prepared, such as grain, grass and medicine, which are indispensable and important war preparation resources.

Obviously, it is impossible to collect these things at the beginning of the war. The correct approach is to prepare these war preparation materials in advance.

Reminiscent of the fact that the village has purchased more medicinal materials, medicines and other items from outside recently than in the past, and these matters are handled directly by the advisory group... Some of the ninja clan leaders suddenly realized something.

Quietly, Konoha has actually entered the pre-war state silently, but it is only now officially proposed at high-level meetings.

"I have objections! Lord Hokage, I think it is too risky to start a war with the Kingdom of Demons... To put it bluntly, with our current strength in Konoha, we are not enough to fight the Kingdom of Demons.

.If this continues, the village will be doomed!"

Another ninja clan leader stood up and sternly refuted the war with the Kingdom of Demons, and directly stated that Konoha was no match for the Kingdom of Demons.

"Not necessarily. Didn't Lord Hokage say that? This military operation against the Kingdom of Demons is not just our Konoha family, Sunagakure, Iwagakure and Kirigakure will also help us Konoha. Each family only needs a little help.

With some effort, we can gather an alliance army composed of 20,000 ninjas... plus several five-kage level ninja leaders. I think this matter has great potential."...

The man sitting on the seat of the Sarutobi clan gave this response after a brief thought.

The other ninja clan leaders are also considering the pros and cons.

It is true that the military power of the Demon Country is obvious to all. Even Kumogakure, who now nominally occupies the title of No. 1 Ninja Village, may not be able to compete with the Demon Country in terms of military strength.

Although they are unwilling to admit it, the senior officials of each Ninja Village have compared the military strength of their village with the Kingdom of Demons. That is, it is difficult for a single Ninja Village from a large country to compete with the Kingdom of Demons in terms of military strength.

.

The three people in the head alone may be equivalent to the total strength of a large country's ninja village.

If we really want to deal with the Kingdom of Demons, we must at least bring out the strength of the Ninja Villages of two major countries to compete with it.

Konoha once had such a powerful military force. On the battlefields of the first two ninja wars, Konoha won the final victory in a one-to-many situation, establishing the reputation of Konoha as the strongest ninja village.

.

At this time, the Kingdom of Oni was like the Konoha Ninja Village at that time.

Therefore, if only Konoha's side participates in the war, then there is no chance of winning this war, because the chance of victory is really slim.

But if the ninja villages of the four major countries launch military operations against the Kingdom of Demons at the same time, then in the eyes of the ninja clan leaders, this matter will be worthy of a try.

At this time, the consultant Mito Kaden who had been silent coughed twice, focused everyone's attention, and said: "Everyone, the power of the Demon Country is getting stronger and stronger now, and it has affected the balance between countries.

, if it is not restricted now, it will be more difficult to deal with it in the future. Finally, don’t forget who is leading that country. For us, Konoha, this is an existential crisis. We, Konoha, love peace.

But in order to survive, this is a forced war."

Although this kind of statement sounds a bit alarmist, one thing Mito Monomaniac said is true, that is, the diplomatic relations between Konoha, and even the Country of Fire, and the Country of Demons are very bad.

Otherwise, over the years, Konoha would not have formed an alliance with Sunagakure Village, its old rival in the Third Ninja World War, and made joint advances and retreats against the Kingdom of Demons. It was because of feeling the pressure from the Kingdom of Demons that it

I had to come together with Sunagakure Village.

In this matter, Konoha has no room to retreat.

As Mito Katoen's words rang out, the ninja clan leaders who were originally hesitant gradually made up their minds.

That's right, by now, they have lost the space to retreat.

The more powerful the Kingdom of Ghosts becomes, the smaller the living space for the Country of Fire and Konoha becomes.

Moreover, the system implemented by the Kingdom of Demons for ninjas is not conducive to the development of the ninja clan, especially those ninja clans who each have their own secret arts inheritance. Once they lose the safe haven of Konoha, you can imagine the consequences. There is no way.

To put it politely, they and the Kingdom of Ghosts are on natural opposites, and there is no possibility of peaceful coexistence.

"In that case, I, the Sarutobi clan, second the proposal. When the time comes, our clan will support thirty elite ninjas for the village."

The man sitting on the seat of the Sarutobi clan agreed on the spot and expressed his willingness to support thirty elite ninjas in this war...

And his words quickly aroused the enthusiasm of the others.

"The Hyuga clan seconded the proposal."

"The Akimichi clan seconded the proposal."

"The Aburame clan seconded the proposal."

"The Inuzuka clan seconded the proposal."

As a ninja clan leader seconded the proposal to join the war, those who still had concerns had no choice but to nod and acquiesce, choosing to second the proposal and agree to participate in the war.

Seeing the clan leaders actively participating in the battle one by one, the two advisory elders sitting on either side of Tsunade also nodded in approval.

With such an indomitable will to fight, there are basically no worries about the upcoming war.

"Then, this meeting ends here. Please go back and treat it as if nothing happened. Just select close relatives in the family and arrange it secretly."

After going to bed, Xiaochun added a sentence at the end, telling everyone to be careful.

Everyone nodded, understanding the importance of this matter and saying they would act carefully.

After all, there are still eight or nine months until December, which is enough for them to prepare for the war and deal a painful blow to the Kingdom of Ghosts.

After the meeting, one by one, the ninja clan chiefs left the conference room. In the end, only Tsunade, Koharu, Mito Kaden, Jiraiya, and Shikaku remained in the conference room.

"Then, we have to arrange the arrangements quickly. However, I didn't expect that the attack time would be December. What's going on?"

After going to bed, Xiaochun began to ask about this matter.

"This is the result of the discussion between the Hokage-sama and the Tsuchikage, Kazekage, and Mizukage. Because December is approaching the new year, and it is winter, it can catch people off guard. Moreover, against Chiba Shiraishi, Uchiha Ruri

As well as Hyuga Ayane’s combat power, we also need to formulate a plan to limit their actions, which requires a lot of time to arrange."

Shikaku explained from the side.

After listening to this, Koharu and Mito Monobu nodded slightly and agreed with this reason.

"So, do you have any good suggestions on how to restrain those three people, Shikaku?"

Mito Monohan glanced at Shikaku, wanting to hear his opinion.

Lu Jiu shook his head helplessly and replied: "From the information I have received so far, the basic human sea tactics are basically ineffective against the three of them. Although to a certain extent, using human sea tactics can indeed contain their actions, but

As long as they want to leave, it will be difficult for ordinary ninjas to stop them. At this time, we can only use ninjas of the same level to limit their range of activities. Other than that, there is no other way."

"Shikaku's views are basically the same as mine. I don't know much about the situation of Uchiha Ruri and Hinata Ayane, so I won't express my opinion. But I have personally experienced Chiba Shiraishi's strength. His clone

He has a variety of abilities, covering three attack modes: short-range, medium-range and long-range. If you fight him alone, you have no chance of winning. Even if Tsunade and I join forces, I'm afraid the result will be..."

Jiraiya didn't continue talking until he said this, but the meaning expressed was already very obvious.

"From this point of view, it is a wise decision to set the attack time in December. However, in fact, there is no need to worry too much about how to target Chiba Shiraishi. We are not the only ones participating in the war this time in Konoha.

In order to resist attacks from other directions, it is impossible for the three of them to gather together. There is a high probability that they will be dispersed to three battlefields and fight independently. In this way, their threat will be greatly reduced, and they can be defeated individually when the time comes.

.”…

Mito Kadenyan was not frightened by Jiraiya's remarks, but pointed out the weakness of the Demon Country. As long as the three of them spread out, there would be a way to defeat them.

"Tsunade, what do you think? I may need your help then."

Koharu turned to bed and looked at Tsunade, the Hokage.

"Just do what you said. I won't get involved in strategic arrangements. You can just make your own decisions through discussion. During this period, I will focus on internal management. The time is almost up, so I'll leave first.

"

After Tsunade said this, she stood up from her seat, walked towards the door and disappeared.

"Tsunade, she..."
