Chapter 252 The Footsteps of War

Nara Shikaku's proposal made Hyuga Hiashi feel a little shocked, but he It was also clear that this was a choice he had to make.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen comes to the house, not only will Konoha lose face this time, their Hyuga Clan will suffer unimaginable loss!
In this case, Hyuga Hiashi can only choose to stand in line, he must stand by someone who can truly protect Konoha, or can uphold the justice of their clan.

Senju Natsuhiko was an option, after all he was Fourth Hokage's spokesperson at the village.

And Senju Natsuhiko also proved his vision and ability, he can control the whole of Anbu at such a young age and see through everything before the enemy moves.

It is really much better to have such a person and influence to protect it than Sarutobi Hiruzen, who has "collapsed".

"So, the two of you came to me?"

Natsuhiko looked to Anbu to see his Nara Shikaku and Hyuga Hiashi, and couldn't help but ask a little funny.

In fact, strictly speaking, Hyuga Hiashi's presence was not much beyond his expectations.

Natsuhiko has given enough hints to Hyuga Hiashi, and what he has done in the village, he can't believe that the Clan Leader doesn't know that he and Sarutobi Hiruzen are not the same.

Now that he knows, and Natsuhiko has given enough hints, it's not surprising that Hyuga Hiashi makes a final choice.

It's just Nara Shikaku that makes Natsuhiko feel a little weird.

He and Nara Shikaku had basically zero contact, and they only met in some meetings, but it was basically a nodded friendship.

The Ino–Shika–Cho family completely turned to Fourth Hokage, to Natsuhiko’s side.

But their clan's way of living meant that he wouldn't take the initiative to get close to Natsuhiko, they would only help Fourth-Kage to do things.

Now that he's running over, it really gives Natsuhiko some unfathomable mystery.

Fortunately, although Natsuhiko was surprised, he still maintained the attitude he had maintained for a long time.

He smiled and looked, the two of them couldn't help but said softly: "Actually, it's useless for you to find me in this matter. After all, Hokage-sama has made a decision, and we can only accept it, right?"

"No, Minister Natsuhiko." Nara Shikaku shook the shaking ones head directly: "If Konoha is the only one who can stop Third Hokage today, I am afraid it is only Minister sama you."

"Minister Shikaku is serious." Natsuhiko immediately shook the shaking ones head: "I'm just a minister, how can I control what Hokage-sama thinks?"

Natsuhiko seems to be The plane is determined, and he will never say something easily, and his actions also make Nara Shikaku feel helpless.

The same Hyuga Hiashi's face is also a little unsightly, because Natsuhiko's attitude is too weird.

However, he still maintained restraint and calmness. With Nara Shikaku in him, he didn't need to express much at all, and the Minister of State Affairs could handle a lot of things well.

It's just that he probably didn't expect that Natsuhiko would show such an attitude when Nara Shikaku was here.

Nara Shikaku looked Natsuhiko in front of him, he suddenly didn't know what to do, but he was Nara Shikaku, and soon he seemed to understand something.

looked Natsuhiko's indifferent but staring eyes on him, Nara Shikaku knows that this attitude is probably because he is here.

According to Hyuga Hiashi, Natsuhiko revealed something to him in advance but not to other people, which means that Natsuhiko's target is actually Hyuga Hiashi.

Or rather, his eyes are on Hyuga Clan!
If you think along this line of thought, Nara Shikaku suddenly feels like she is about to break out in a cold sweat.

Natsuhiko is a very ambitious person, otherwise such a person would be impossible to sit in the Anbu Commander position so young.

A man who goes by the name of Fourth Hokage, but is extremely ambitious, and targets Hyuga Clan.

Plus he's helped Uchiha Clan in the past, and they've started to come out of their split with Konoha.

And Uchiha Clan doesn't seem to be very calm now, it seems that the power distribution and struggles within them are starting to heat up a bit.

If Nara Shikaku is not mistaken, Natsuhiko is behind everything!
"In control of Anbu, and in the last heavy injury Third Hokage, got the medical department and Root's part, Natsuhiko Minister Anbu has more power.

And they also because of the last action , unconsciously by his side.

Even though we actually supported Fourth Hokage, but now the essence is to support him!

And Uchiha Clan's side, guard He seems to have won and started fighting for more within clan rights, which is not a problem according to his means.

And now he is starting to approach Hyuga Clan, in fact, even if I don't have me, I'm afraid Hyuga Hiashi will come to him .

And he also has something as terrifying as a newspaper office, all in all."

Combining all the known information, Nara Shikaku got a terrifying Information, that is Natsuhiko's purpose is Hokage!

This guy, basically, is taking advantage of Fourth Hokage's inability to manage Konoha, and constantly uses his name to build his own basic plan, paving the way for himself to Hokage!

Come to think of it, if Natsuhiko can handle all of this perfectly, having his own group because he's standing beside Fourth Hokage.

Hyuga Clan had to choose a team because of this time, which is equivalent to giving up Third Hokage and moving closer to Fourth Hokage.

And the support of Uchiha Clan's group of people, it can be said that under the series of operations of this guy, Fourth Hokage has received the overwhelming support of Konoha!

With Fourth Hokage unable to return, Third Hokage has lost huge public opinion this time, so a new Hokage selection must be started.

As a member of Senju Clan and Anbu Commander, Natsuhiko is definitely qualified to get involved.

Natsuhiko has always been in the name of Fourth Hokage, and he is one with Fourth Hokage no matter who it is.

In the end, their support will naturally fall on this guy!

"How long has this guy laid out and how terrifying he is."

After figuring out everything, Nara Shikaku is really emotional now.

Every time he feels like he's overestimating Natsuhiko's level, he's stunned to find that he's still underestimating the youngster in front of him.

What kind of environment can cultivate such a youngster?

Means, temperament and strength, this youngster is all Peak's, this youngster gives him the feeling that it is an out-and-out old fox.

It's the kind of old fox that has long been accustomed to this turbulent and intriguing environment, and can use all available natural resources to achieve its own goals.

Thinking of this, Nara Shikaku's eyes became even deeper, he stared at Natsuhiko seriously, quite a long time before he spoke slowly.

"Minister Natsuhiko is humble." Nara Shikaku said meaningfully: "After all, Minister Natsuhiko now represents Fourth Hokage, and of course not just Fourth Hokage."

"oh ?" Natsuhiko picked it up and felt that Nara Shikaku had hidden meaning: "What does Minister Shikaku mean?"

"Actually, the meaning is very simple, after all, Minister Natsuhiko is a member of Senju Clan."

Nara Shikaku is more and more convinced that what he is thinking is correct, and he smiles.

“Actually Hiashi Clan Leader will come, I invited him to come with me, because now I found something more important and interesting.

Maybe we can do more There can also be more cooperation."

Nara Shikaku said this point, if Natsuhiko doesn't understand it, then there is really a problem.

Although he expected that his actions would be seen through, he was seen so clearly before he fully expressed his thoughts.

And coming to him with his own character, Natsuhiko can only sigh truly worthy of Nara Shikaku!

In fact, Natsuhiko made a mistake. He thought Nara Shikaku had noticed it long ago, so he ran over with Hyuga Hiashi.

But in fact, Nara Shikaku just wanted to understand, and he brought Hyuga Hiashi here, the essential purpose is just to stand in line completely.

But Nara Shikaku obviously won't say such a thing. Natsuhiko's attitude at this time has been completely surfaced, and what he thinks and thinks is right.

Maybe only Hyuga Hiashi didn't understand what the two of them were talking about.

Of course, it's also possible that his mind is simply not on this. All he's thinking about is his clan and the situation at Hidden Cloud.

"You two, this is not the time to play charades or say something that doesn't matter."

Natsuhiko, who looked silent, and Nara who didn't say anything Shikaku, Hyuga Hiashi said involuntarily.

"Minister Natsuhiko, my coming here this time with Minister Shikaku is actually an expression of attitude, a very firm attitude.

Minister Natsuhiko I think you can understand what I mean, Konoha at this time has been in crisis, and Hyuga Clan at this time."

Saying here, Hyuga Hiashi paused a little, and then he said firmly.

"Similarly, Hyuga Clan is also in crisis at this time, so I hope to get help.

I can get your help, I can get the help of Fourth-Kage purposes, for this We are willing to be on the side of the Minister.

We will face everything together with Hokage-sama and the Minister!"

Hyuga Hizashi said this, his The eyes of the double white were fixed on Natsuhiko.

Although his words are very imposing-manner, in essence he is already a soft approach, but Hyuga Clan's pride allows him to retain a certain degree of tolerance.

Maybe this is some common problem of Great Clan, this thing is really very important to them.

Natsuhiko is sometimes more fortunate. Fortunately, he was reborn as a Senju Clan that has been broken and completed.

If you want to have your own pride, this clan doesn't have the strength to support it all.

Otherwise, Natsuhiko at first resolutely surrendered, constantly accumulating strength, and waiting until the strength is enough to explode is enough to shame the entire clan.

After all, he was a three-way spy, wandering back and forth between Third Hokage, Fourth Hokage and Senju Clan.

Natsuhiko actually doesn't like that kind of approach, but the form is stronger than the human being, but meddlesome love doesn't mean you have the courage and strength to handle everything.

What's more, Natsuhiko didn't have such a strong strength at the beginning. His system plug-in seriously deducted his chakra, so that he couldn't fully erupt.

Otherwise he is also impossible thanks to this guy Danzo, if it wasn't for this guy who let Natsuhiko pick up Senju Hashirama's meat, Natsuhiko really didn't take off so quickly.

So Natsuhiko made arrangements when Danzo died, making his death more memorable.

After all, the way he died was the true definition of Konoha!

Shaking the heads of the shaking ones, Natsuhiko was obviously not particularly willing to recall the unforgettable ending.

Surviving in the cracks is a thing of the past. After he has enough strength and enough accumulation, he is already standing on the top of Konoha's power!

Even though he hasn't taken the Hokage spot yet, he knows it's only a matter of time.

He no longer has to show his obedience to anyone, and even has to grovel at times.

That was a matter of survival and Natsuhiko had no choice, and now he has the other people's survival in his hands!

"I understand what the two of you mean." Natsuhiko nodded lightly, he glanced at Nara Shikaku deeply, and then he continued: "Although I didn't go to the meeting, I wanted to ask Raikage's question. The letter of responsibility has been sent, right?"

"Yes, Minister sama." Nara Shikaku immediately nodded: "The situation is very bad, I think when the letter of accountability is delivered, Hidden Cloud should There will continue to be pressure."

"Indeed, I received information a few hours ago that Hidden Cloud's main force has moved."

Natsuhiko smiled slightly, then Then he continued: "I'm going to hand over Hyuga Clan Chief, right?"

"Yes."

Nara Shikaku glanced at Hyuga Hiashi, and he nodded.

"Raikage's original intention was that people died in Hyuga Clan, according to the report he got, Hiashi Clan Leader who started.

He asked us to hand over Hiashi Clan Leader, And Third Hokage”

“Not surprising, Konoha still looks weak to him.”

Natsuhiko tapped the table before he sighed.

“Third Hokage is getting old and doing things conservatively.

Konoha is weak now, but if Hiashi Clan Leader is handed over this time, then it will be a blow to Konoha All are unimaginable.

Ninja World will think that Konoha is no longer available, which will have a huge impact on our economy and culture.

And also Hiashi Clan Leader will be handed over , this blow to our ninja morale is also unimaginable.

I'm afraid the village can't be united, after all, the village is to protect everyone, rather than relying on betraying everyone to seek this extremely unstable peace."

Natsuhiko said it here, and it's basically set the tone.

Nara Shikaku can't help but feel nodded, because Natsuhiko's analysis is really right.

Of course, he also knows that he is so biased towards him, which is largely influenced by the unnoticeable influence of Newspaper.

But aside from the newspaper issue, Nara Shikaku feels that she will still support Natsuhiko, because the original purpose of the village was to protect everyone!

Now Sarutobi Hiruzen's approach is no longer a historical reversal, he is directly hitting the accelerator when going downhill.

This is really not the brakes and directly installed, I am afraid that he will be smashed to pieces, or the whole village will be smashed to pieces.

Actually, the final result was that Sarutobi Hiruzen was smashed to pieces. The practice of Jonin and clan Clan Leader in Chunin Exams ten years later is the best proof.

Hyuga Hiashi, who was standing beside Nara Shikaku, couldn't help but feel nodded, he was the one who felt the deepest, after all, he was among the Uzumaki of this time.

Natsuhiko's words pierced his heart. He agrees with Natsuhiko's words. The purpose of the village is to protect everyone.

Although the establishment of the village has changed the scale of the war from a few hundred people in the clan to tens of thousands of ninja fighting with professionalism and professionalism.

But what I have to say is that the existence of the village really reduces the casualty rate of each clan, which is why the village protects everyone, and everyone fights for the village.

Now that Sarutobi Hiruzen has even saved the battle, it is mandatory to ask whoever and whomever to go to hell. Who can accept this kind of thing?
Natsuhiko If he knew what Hyuga Hiashi was thinking, maybe he could provide a name - Uchiha Itachi.

"Okay, it looks like I'm busy tonight." Natsuhiko tapped the table again, and he said to Nara Shikaku, "Then trouble Minister Shikaku to have a relationship with you. Clan Leaders and Jonin who have the same idea, please come over."

"Are you looking for it now?" Nara Shikaku thought about it, and then he immediately nodded: "I know, I will deal with this as soon as possible. .”

“Not as soon as possible, but immediately, after all, we have to dare to arrange some things before Third Hokage goes to Hiashi Clan Leader’s house.”

“I see. , I'll go now."

Tonight's Konoha is destined to be a sleepless night.

According to Natsuhiko's request, Nara Shikaku called almost all Clan Leaders, ministers and Jonin who had the same idea with a high probability to a Conference Hall at Anbu headquarters.

In this Conference Hall, Nara Shikaku told the current situation without any concealment, which suddenly made everyone realize the seriousness of the situation.

Hidden Cloud's ambitions can't be hidden. They both started to fight in the Land of Hot Water a year ago, and they had constant conflicts with Konoha mission ninja half a year ago.

Now that something like this happens, it seems to be as it should be by rights.

Almost all clan ninjas, including those Clan Leaders and Ministers, have no objection.

Some people have experienced the Sarutobi Hiruzen conference, and some people who did not participate but agreed with Nara Shikaku's words.

Even the commoner-born Jonins were a little uncomfortable even with Nara Shikaku and Senju Natsuhiko having a solo meeting without Third Hokage.

Because Senju Natsuhiko represents Fourth Hokage, it literally pulls them into an infighting.

But they also agreed with Nara Shikaku that the Natsuhiko newspaper was well prepared after all.

Natsuhiko spent all this time crumpling up information and putting it all over the newspaper.

And this kind of preparation has become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as time goes by.

In addition, they and Cloud Ninja were in the vicinity of Land-of-Iron, which lasted for nearly half a year of small-scale conflict. Many people even experienced it personally because they led the team, which also deepened these ninjas. Dissatisfaction with Cloud Ninja.

Not to mention the people who can become Jonin or Clan Leader and Minister, I am afraid that except for guys like Guy who are a little slower, in fact, everyone has a very good political literacy.

After Nara Shikaku's narration, how they didn't know that there was really no way to back down.

To back down is to create unimaginable trouble for Konoha, and possibly even Konoha's collapse!
Not to mention what Hyuga Clan will think, everyone will want to have this time, so what will happen next time?

And everyone knows how much negative impact a concession will have on the entire Ninja World.

Although Konoha's current war potential has been drained by the Third Shinobi World War, it hasn't recovered yet.

But once someone steps on your face, once you make such a concession, then I am afraid that you will have to face such concessions continuously.

Konoha really can't go back, this time is an important person, so will it be an important land next time?

Even if the war opens this time, it will be extremely cruel, and even if it wins, it probably won't bring much influence to Konoha.

Even if it has influence, I am afraid it is only within Konoha, and Konoha is actually a bit of a loss to the outside world.

After all, Konoha has always been No. 1 in Ninja World in the eyes of the outside world. Isn't it normal for Ninja World to win No. 1?

Compared to the Hidden Cloud who started the war, what they can get is really only a pitiful little.

But once won, this will definitely allow Konoha to spend at least ten years or more of peace once again in peace!

Take advantage of these peaceful years, and Konoha can fully restore herself to Peak.

It's even hard to say if it's possible to revert to a higher Peak.

As for losing?

Unconditional concession is also a loss, and a deadly battle is also a loss.

Although second seems to be a bigger loss, the positive effect it brings is much better.

This is a kind of spiritual inheritance, which is very important!

"And everyone, don't forget that we don't necessarily lose."

At the last moment, Natsuhiko stood up and said to all the ninjas present.

"Maybe everyone has a certain pessimistic attitude, but I want to tell you that there is no need to be so pessimistic.

The background of Konoha is not what ordinary people can imagine!"

Although Natsuhiko's words are inspiring, it also means an utterly inadequate measure to other people.

Natsuhiko is strong, but he needs time to keep becoming-stronger.

But Natsuhiko's words also made everyone a little bit looking forward to it. Maybe Natsuhiko really knows something incredible.

For example, Fourth Hokage might be back!

“damned!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen punched the table fiercely, he didn't expect in his dreams, his control over the village was so weak .

After the meeting, he waited for a while as a gestation, then he set off to Hyuga Clan with a few Root ninjas.

Although he knew how impossible it would be to go to Hyuga Clan this time, he had to do it for the sake of peace.

It seemed normal to him to sacrifice some people for Konoha's peace.

He didn't want to think too much about the problems that such an approach would bring. It's not that he didn't think about it instead of thinking about it. Now Konoha just can't do it.

However, when he came to Hyuga Clan, he was surprised to find that Hyuga Hiashi simply wasn't within clan.

He waited silently, and no one came back after waiting for a long time, which made him realize that there might be something wrong with the situation.

So he quickly followed people to find Nara Shikaku, and what he finally got was that Nara Shikaku contacted a lot of people to go to Anbu together!
Sarutobi Hiruzen knows exactly what this means, because it means betrayal!

This betrayal is not simply a violation of his intentions. Fourth-Kage has been fighting against him for so long, and he has no idea how many times he has violated him.

This time is when Konoha is facing external pressure, and while he is in command as Hokage, his subordinates collectively ignore him and do his own thing.

This time I am a real betrayal, which is even a mutiny in some senses!

"Why, in the end, did things turn into this step?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know, but he knew the situation was in trouble.

Last time he failed but he was still a Hokage, and now these people don't even care about his Hokage!

"Am I doing something wrong?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly began to think about this question, but unfortunately no one answered him.

And on the second day, he was acutely aware that the entire Konoha machine was starting to work on its own.

Nara Shikaku has written a slightly tough diplomatic report almost without passing him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen still saw this report, but after reading it he felt that his blood pressure became higher.

Because this report fully explains what the Hidden Cloud envoys are doing at Konoha and puts some of their guesswork into it.

Finally, I did not forget to warn Hidden Cloud that they had better not create fearless incidents.

"This report is basically a fire!"

Just as expected, Hidden Cloud issued a new statement to Konoha almost a day later.

This statement is even more drastic, and even takes a 'vulnerable' point of view to address these matters.

And this time they are emphasizing here to let Konoha hand over the murderer, if they refuse then they will take the toughest revenge stance against Konoha!

The intent of this report, the purpose is also very clear, it is clear that Hidden Cloud has no intention of waiting, this is an ultimatum to Konoha.

Either accept their threats and lose hearts, or just go to war without much nonsense!
Excessive, but also very practical.

Things have gotten to the point where there's nothing left to discuss.

The only thing Konoha can do is not to declare of war directly, and to prepare himself at the same time.

Land-of-Lightning, on a giant Grand Plaza in the village of Cloud Ninja.

Fourth-Kage head Raikage stood with his younger brother Killer B as they watched the more than eight thousand ninjas already assembled below.

These ninjas are all going to Konoha with him!
That's right, this time he plans to go out in person!

Hidden Cloud seems to have always had the habit of Raikage personally leading the expedition, except that Raikage died directly in the rebellion in the village during World War I.

Third Raikage ran out of the Hidden Stone during the Third Shinobi World War, but was discovered by Onoki, and was given three days and three nights by the sea tactics, and finally died of exhaustion.

Fourth Raikage himself has a lot of experience in his own mission, and he has also participated in a lot. In three wartimes, he is the main force against Konoha.

This time facing the Konoha war, he still intends to go out because his target is that Konoha Anbu Commander Senju Natsuhiko.

He knows that guy can be Wood-Style and also Flying Thunder God Jutsu. He has lost to Flying Thunder God Jutsu, although he is disappointed that he can't face Fourth Hokage, but this guy is also a Nice substitute!
"I hope it can bring me some fun, preferably Sarutobi Hiruzen can also come up."

Fourth Raikage muttered silently, in his opinion Sarutobi Hiruzen is not as dangerous as that Konoha What about the nightingale?

Little lifts the head, his eyes swept across the eight thousand ninja troops off the field, he suddenly felt ten thousand zhang with pride.

8,000 troops, this number is not too many, but not too small.

After all, a huge Land-of-Lightning still needs to be guarded, and a huge Hidden Cloud Village also needs to be guarded.

Eight thousand ninjas can be considered a huge number, not to mention that there are two or three thousand ninja troops on the border of Land of Hot Water, plus Raikage himself led the team.

It can be said that this time Hidden Cloud Village is spare no effort to face Konoha.

This can be shown not only in an attitude, but also in a display of their strength and a gesture.

That is they are angry that the person they brought peace died in Konoha without a single account, so they will take the most severe revenge!
"Is everyone ready?"

The densely packed ninja below Raikage Ai looked up and suddenly roared loudly. With the help of chakra, his voice was clearly transmitted to the In every Cloud Ninja's ear.

"We want justice from Konoha, peace is hard won but they don't cherish it at all.

We want them to see what happens when they break the peace at will, we Let the proud Konoha know what the power of our Hidden Cloud is!"

"Ready! Ready! Ready."

Five thousand Cloud Ninja below Immediately responded loudly, that HTC's momentum and deafening voice echoed throughout the square.

All the Cloud Ninjas seemed to feel blood boiling, and hatred began to spread in their minds.

The desire to fight starts to swell, they need to fight, they want to fight, they want to crush the whole Konoha!

"Very good."

quite a long time, when the sound stopped, Fourth Raikage slowly nodded, and then he raised his right hand.

"Let's go, let's tread Konoha!"
