Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that all the jonin had arrived and began the meeting.
The Sandaime, Mito Kado En, Utane Koharu, Shimura Danzo and other high-ranking Konoha officials sat on the only four chairs, while the jonin stood in front of them.
"Not long ago, the Iwagakure Village in the Land of Earth declared war on us." Sarutobi Hiruzen stated the reason for convening this emergency meeting of the Jonin.
"Iwagakure Village? It's a ninja village of the same level as us."
"Are you coveting the rich resources of our Fire Nation?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's words caused some commotion among the jonin in the conference room, and they began to discuss out loud.
After all, the Iwagakure Village is not just any cat or dog. Even though its overall strength is not as good as Konoha, it is still one of the five major ninja villages like Konoha.
"Hmph, the Iwagakure actually dared to declare war on Konoha. It seems they have forgotten that the five major ninja villages are also divided into different levels!" Danzo snorted coldly.
Danzo went on to say: "We should gather the ninjas immediately, declare war on the Land of Earth and Iwagakure Village, and quickly launch an attack to let them know that the number one ninja village cannot be provoked!"
Of course, Danzo had something else to say. Since a war was about to begin, spies were indispensable, and the restrictions on his roots should be relaxed.
However, these words definitely cannot be said at the Jonin meeting. He and the Third Hokage have to discuss it in the office.
"It is necessary to declare war on the Iwagakure Village." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said.
War has already been declared. If we don't declare war, we will have no place in the ninja world if we return to Konoha.
Konoha has two main sources of money. One is the funding from the daimyo, and the other is the commission from various nobles and wealthy businessmen.
The client is not stupid. They will definitely go to the ninja village which is strong and reliable to post the commission.
If Konoha backed down at this time, then Konoha would have fewer commissions, and correspondingly, the number of commissions from the Hidden Rock Village would increase.
"It is not appropriate to summon ninjas to launch an attack. The current situation in the ninja world is unclear. The Hidden Cloud Village had a conflict with Konoha not long ago. With the Hidden Cloud Village declaring war, I am afraid they will have evil intentions."
Sarutobi Hiruzen approved Danzo's idea of declaring war on the Iwagakure Village, but rejected Danzo's plan to gather troops for an attack.
The Land of Earth is to the northwest of the Land of Fire, and the Land of Lightning is to the northeast of the Land of Fire. If Iwagakure and Kumogakure attack Konoha together, they will be attacked from both sides.
If Konoha directly assembled ninja troops and pressed towards the Land of Earth, it would be very convenient for Kumogakure to block the Konoha troops' way home or to directly march straight into the Land of Fire.
After hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Mu Yue roughly understood what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's meaning was very simple, the Iwagakure Village must be attacked, but it must be fought steadily without any accidents.
"Sir Sandaime, I think the first thing we should do now is to notify the Kusagakure Village to pay attention to the situation in the Land of Grass. If any Iwagakure ninja enters the Land of Grass, report it immediately." Nara Shikaku thought for a while and said.
There are two fastest ways for the Iwagakure ninja to enter the Fire Country. One is to go through the Rain Country to enter the Fire Country, and the other is to go through the Grass Country.
It is possible to take a detour from other places, but it is basically impossible in the event of a war. The detour requires going from the Country of Birds to the Country of Wind and then to the Country of Rivers before finally reaching the Country of Fire.
Not only is the journey long, but they also have to pass through the Wind Country, one of the five major countries. When the Sand Village saw a group of Iwagakure ninjas entering the Wind Country, they couldn't help but think that another invader had arrived.
The strength of the Rain Country, the Hidden Rain Village, is much stronger than the Grass Country, the Hidden Grass Village. Nara Shikaku judged that the Iwagakure ninja should choose the Grass Country as a breakthrough point.
Another aspect is that the Grass Country is the younger brother of the Fire Country, but the Rain Country is not. Konoha can order the Grass Village around, but cannot order the Hidden Rain Village around.
"Then strengthen the forces on the border to prevent the Iwagakure ninja from launching surprise attacks to break through the defense line and avoid fighting on the home front." Nara Shikaku continued.
The impact of war is enormous, so we must try our best to avoid the war from spreading to the territory of the Fire Nation.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly. Nara Shikaku's plan was very much to his liking.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not end the meeting immediately, but continued it.
After a long time without hearing any better suggestions than Nara Shikaku, Sarutobi Hiruzen ended the meeting of the jonin. After selecting a few jonin to lead the team to support the border, the meeting was officially disbanded, and the jonin who knew each other left together.
"Minato, who is this?" A fat-looking ninja with a simple smile on his face came over to chat with Minato, and then discovered Mu Yue.
"This is my friend Hanyu Muyue, a newly promoted jonin." Minato introduced with a smile.
"Mu Yue, this is Senior Qiu Daotang Dong, a very reliable senior." Then Shuimen introduced Qiu Daotang Dong to Mu Yue.
"Haha, it's true that I'm a few years older than you, but Minato, you're more reliable than me." Akimichi Doto said with a laugh.
He had carried out missions with Minato before, and Minato's strength was no ordinary jonin.
"Senior Tangdong." Mu Yue greeted with a gentle smile.
"Hey." Akimichi Doto looked at Mu Yue's gentle smile, then looked at Minato, who had the same warm smile and blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Minato, your friend looks a bit like you, could he be your relative?" asked Akimichi Dodong.
"Look, Minato, I told you they look alike." Kushina jumped out and said immediately after hearing what Akimichi Doto said.
She had always felt that the two were quite similar, not in appearance, but in spirit.
"No, we're just simple friends." Minato explained with a helpless smile.
With Minato's help, Mu Yue got to know many senior ninjas.
Mu Yue discovered that Minato seemed to be quite familiar with the ninjas from those secret families. He knew some ninjas from the Akimichi, Inuzuka, Nara, Aburame and other families.
Although the overall strength of these mystic families is not as good as that of top ninja clans like the Uchiha, they are also the backbone of Konoha, and when they are united they form a very powerful force.
After the meeting, Mu Yue quickly rushed to the Southern Forest to check on the disciples' training progress.
He gave an appraisal to each of his disciples.
In the end, it was discovered that except for Obito who changed from fifteen to sixteen, Shisui and Might Guy had not changed. Shisui was fifteen, and Might Guy was still nineteen.
However, Mu Yue couldn't say whether Obito's progress was due to the cooking, because based on Might Guy's experience, the ultimate in the previous step could reach a proficiency level of nineteen.
This problem is easy to solve. Let's give Shisui some hot food tomorrow and see the effect to know if it works.
"Hehe, Shisui, it's just a little spicy, but it still tastes delicious." Obito comforted Shisui, he couldn't stop smiling.
I'm stuck with 7k today, I'll make up for it later when I have time
