Chapter 240 The Wind Shadow's Response
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi is the Hokage and the leader of the Konoha ninja, theoretically he can directly command all Konoha ninja.
However, theory is theory, and reality is reality.
If you don't have everyone's support and insist on doing things against everyone's wishes, then you're not indispensable as Hokage, and it's not like you can't be replaced as Hokage.
To protect their own interests, people will give full play to their initiative and use all sorts of unimaginable means.
If you really think about it, all those village leaders in the ninja world died at the hands of their enemies.
The deaths of many leaders were shrouded in mystery, leaving no trace and making them impossible to investigate.
To be killed by the enemy in a fair and square manner is, in a way, a death with some dignity.
In the anime, apart from the Second Hokage who died at the hands of the Cloud Ninja, how did the other Hokage die, and who killed them?
To be precise, most of the Hokage didn't die at the hands of other ninja villages, but rather at the hands of Konoha ninjas.
Kyosuke studied the Third Hokage's persuasive skills while reflecting on Konoha's situation, and then came to a conclusion.
The ninjas of Konoha are the greatest threat to the Hokage!
When I become Hokage, you must be on your guard!
The Third Hokage was quite eloquent and persuaded the Jonin present; at least on the surface, no one explicitly objected.
As for what they are really thinking, only they themselves know.
Kyosuke was quite certain that he himself didn't care about the Third Generation's words; he was just putting on a show of supporting the Third Generation to maintain his persona.
Only after everyone's thoughts were unified did the three generations discuss specific strategies.
According to the Third Hokage's plan, the elite force led by Minato Namikaze was not only to break through the Sand Village's defenses, but also to continuously advance and draw away the main force of the Sand Village, thus buying time for the main force of the Leaf Village.
Those present will lead their respective teams to the front lines immediately to ensure the retreat of Minato Namikaze and the others, and to establish a defensive line to resist the Sand Ninja's counterattack.
The only requirement for the whole process is speed!
The goal is to establish Konoha's advantage on the battlefield before the Sand Ninja can react.
Meanwhile, the main force of Konoha will arrive at the battlefield in a few days, at which time the final battle will begin.
As for whether things will proceed as planned by the Third Generation, Kyosuke can only offer his best wishes.
That night, these Jonin led their respective squads and began their westward journey towards the Land of Rivers.
Along the way, Shisui also taught Itachi to be careful, to follow orders on the battlefield, and never to be reckless.
Obito, on the other hand, has always boasted that he could enter and exit the battlefield seven times.
Kakashi stated that the Konoha raid was very well concealed, giving the Sand Ninja no time to react, and that they would have an advantage in the early stages of the war.
Sensuke, far away in Sunagakure, applauded Kakashi's comments. At least by the next day, only Sensuke knew about it.
Oh dear, war is starting today again. Finally, we can leave the village.
Chisuke stepped out of his room, intending to have a big breakfast at a breakfast shop, when he saw several unruly children following behind him, shouting words like "monster" and so on.
Whoops!
A cloud of sand flew by, sending the mischievous kids flying and crashing into the wall, knocking them unconscious one by one.
The world is quiet.
Of course, the people around Chisuke looked at him with more disgust and fear, and one by one they moved away from him.
"Oh dear, you're so soft-hearted. They're all still alive. You should have mashed them into mincemeat."
The sound of Shukaku's taunt echoed in his mind, and Chisuke snorted.
"I'm not that heartless. Besides, if I really did that, I wouldn't even have the freedom I have now!"
"Chisuke, you hit someone again. This will only make everyone more afraid of you. Try to get along with everyone, and they will accept you."
Maki appeared beside Chisuke, her eyes filled with reproach and worry, trying to persuade him.
Kyosuke found this nonsense extremely annoying.
Why am I praying for them to accept me?
What a despicable wretch!
If I am strong enough, they cannot survive without me and will naturally come to me on their own initiative.
Unlike Kyosuke's sunny and cheerful persona, the Sand Ninja, due to their harsh living environment, are more driven by the strong.
Whether it's the Kazekage or Rasa and Yekura, who are vying for the next Kazekage position, they all have a tough and decisive style.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Chisuke is usually quite easygoing, but he will fight back hard when provoked, no matter who the other party is.
Otherwise, they will be labeled as indecisive, cowardly, and incompetent.
Since becoming a Jinchūriki, Chisuke has injured many people who have spoken ill of him, and none of the ninjas around him have tried to persuade him otherwise.
The roll is the first one.
"You'd better shut up, or I'll beat up their parents too, and then they'll resent you for meddling."
Chisuke scoffed dismissively and threatened to shut up.
"you you you……"
Maki hadn't expected Chisuke to be so rude and unreasonable. She was so angry that her face turned red, and she pointed at Chisuke, speechless.
During this time, Yekura was away on a mission, so Sensuke guided her in her training.
Chisuke dared not disobey Yekura's orders, so he did his best when teaching the scroll. However, they couldn't understand each other on other matters, and their relationship deteriorated.
"What do you mean 'you'? Don't even think about slacking off! Get back to your training now, or I won't hold back!"
Chisuke was telling the truth; if Maki's training didn't reach the goals set by Chisuke, he would be subjected to physical punishment.
In fact, Sensuke would use the guise of a battle to teach Kane a real lesson.
Don't think Chisuke is cruel. That's how Yōkura taught Chisuke, and Chisuke just followed the instructions.
Maki gritted his teeth in resentment, turned around and left to train outside the village, while Sensuke was subsequently summoned by the Kazekage.
"Kazekage-sama!"
Upon seeing the Kazekage, Sensuke still greeted him politely, but ignored Chiyo, Ebizo, and Rasa who were beside the Kazekage.
The Kazekage cut to the chase: "Yesterday, Konoha launched a surprise attack on our defenses and has now breached the Land of Rivers. We must prepare for war!"
To be precise, the Sand Village and Konoha have always been at war, but there were no major battles in the past two years.
Chiyo spoke up: "It will take time to assemble a large army. We must send out an advance force to defend against Konoha's surprise attack."
Luo Sha volunteered: "Lord Kazekage, I request to carry out this mission!"
Chisuke watched coldly as Chiyo and Rasa worked together, knowing they were trying to take advantage of Yokura's absence to their advantage.
Unfortunately, Senju's voice carried little weight. He was only able to listen in because he was a clone of the Jinchuriki and a disciple of Yekura. It was not a good time for him to speak, otherwise he would have started cursing.
Objectively speaking, Chiyo and Rasa's proposal was very reasonable, so the Kazekage agreed.
"Rasa, immediately select suitable subordinates and make sure to stop Konoha's offensive."
Upon hearing the Wind Shadow's order, Luo Sha immediately went out.
"Faced with Konoha's attack, we cannot just passively defend; we must launch a counterattack to disrupt Konoha's plans."
As Kazekage spoke, he looked at Sensuke, who immediately stood up straight and listened attentively to what Kazekage was writing down.
"Chisuke, you will also lead a small team to bypass Konoha's vanguard and attack Konoha's supply lines and follow-up forces from the flank."
