On the way to the meeting room, Youshu kept guessing about the purpose of Kirigakure's actions.
Tomoki, who has read the original work, knows that at this time Kirigakure is completely under Obito's control.
According to the original plot, this should be a peaceful period, and all major countries are licking their wounds and recovering their strength.
The only variable is his arrival, considering the recent death of Danzo.
This was the only possibility that Tomoki could think of. Could it be that Danzo's death prevented the Uchiha clan from being exterminated?
If Obito's goal is still to destroy the Uchiha clan, this war may not be as simple as imagined.
The original plan to take advantage of the rare peace time to reform the Security Department and expand its influence was completely destroyed.
Tomoki, who has just emerged, has to face Obito's conspiracy, and Tomoki finds it very difficult.
Alas, I can only take it one step at a time.
When Youshu arrived at the conference room, there were already quite a few people there.
As Youshu continued to PY, many people greeted him enthusiastically along the way, and Youshu responded one by one.
Present were not only the ministers of various departments of Konoha, but also the clan leaders of many ninja clans of Konoha, totaling nearly 30 people.
At 7:55, there were still five minutes before the meeting started.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen finally came to the conference room with two advisors.
"Hokage-sama." ×N
Greetings were exchanged, followed by a round of pleasantries.
Finally it was eight o'clock, and Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was already sitting in the main seat, did not beat around the bush.
"I believe everyone is already clear about the specific situation. The current movement of a large number of Kirigakure ninja troops is heading straight for the Land of Waves."
"Then Kirigakure's purpose is very clear. It is for Konoha. The Land of Waves is not worth them sending out so many ninja troops."
"Let's discuss how Konoha should respond to this situation."
Then Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped speaking.
No one spoke for a moment.
Tomoki has never been able to figure out Obito's purpose, but since the other party sent out troops, there must be a purpose behind it, no matter what the purpose behind it is.
As long as all the troops sent by Kirigakure are destroyed, Obito's goal will not be achieved.
Unless Obito's purpose is to start a war, but Tomoki can't think of the benefits of starting a war to Obito's "Moon Eye" plan.
So Tomoki decided to directly destroy the Kirigakure army, so that Obito would have to rely on the Akatsuki organization for whatever he wanted to do in the future.
Obito, who controls a ninja village in his hands, is really terrifying and can easily decide the direction of the world.
After figuring it out, Youshu saw that no one was speaking, so he spoke directly.
"The solution is simple. Just fight Kirigakure back."
As soon as Youshu finished speaking, he immediately aroused opposition.
The opponent was none other than Mitomon En, who was beside Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"No, we can't start a war so easily!"
Seeing this old man jump out to object as soon as he finished speaking, Youshu naturally didn't look happy.
"Who are you to say no?"
"How dare you, Konoha's advisor, I'm not allowed to express my opinion."
"You expressed your opinion, but what about your opinion? Why are you opposing my opinion? You can't have no opinion at all, you can only oppose it!"
"Damn it! I was just saying that we shouldn't start a war lightly. As expected, you Uchiha are all war-loving lunatics."
Hearing this, Tomoki's face was full of smiles, and he instantly appeared in front of Mitomon En.
He pinched Mitomon Yan's neck and said with a smile, "Say what you just said again!"
Tomoki's direct action obviously shocked everyone. Some people wanted to stop him, but Tomoki directly set up a fire ring nearly 1 meter high next to him.
This was the first time since Tomoki became the head of the Uchiha clan that he heard someone slander the Uchiha clan in public.
Even Danzo has never done it, but this old ghost Mitomon En dared to do it.
Since becoming the clan leader, Youshu has always been humble in the face of the Konoha ninja clan.
Those ninjas are not fools. They will not think that Uchiha is easy to bully just because Tomoki lowers his posture. Everyone has always been nice to each other and polite.
Today's scene also refreshed the tribe leaders present's understanding of Youshu.
"Say what you just said again!"
Mizutomon En in Tomoki's hand was almost suffocated by Tomoki's squeezing, so how could he speak?
Aren't you just trying to make things difficult for others? This is what everyone in the meeting room thinks.
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not remain silent any longer, "That's enough, Uchiha Tomoki, put down Counselor Yan."
Tomoki had no choice but to give face to the Sandaime, so he let go of his hand after hearing that.
"Hokage-sama, some people are unworthy of being advisors. They can only object and bark like dogs. How can such people get into this meeting?"
Then Youshu said again, "I suggest that Hokage kick this guy named Yan out of the meeting room."
Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to smooth things over and said, "Okay, Chief Tomoki, Yan was just excited for a moment and said something he shouldn't have said. Let's continue the discussion."
Then he looked at Mitomon Yan and said, "Yan, you should sit down as well."
At this time, Mitomon En was still in fear. He knew that if Sarutobi Hiruzen had arrived a little later, he would definitely have died.
Mitomon En didn't dare to say anything anymore, but he still held a grudge against Tomoki in his heart. The Uchiha were indeed a group of lunatics, and only that lunatic Danzo could deal with them.
Danzo! I miss you for the Nth day.
Youshu didn't care at all about Mitomon En's thoughts. If he wasn't an advisor, it would be no harder to kill him than to kill an ant.
At this time, Tomoki spoke again, saying that no matter what Obito thought, as long as the Kirigakure was defeated, it would be fine.
"There's nothing to discuss. If Kirigakure dares to have ideas about Konoha, just destroy them directly."
After Youshu finished speaking, no one objected, and everyone actually had the same idea.
My great Konoha, the number one ninja village in the ninja world, how could a mere Kirigakure like you have any ideas about it?
But there will always be someone who stands up to oppose, and Mitomon En, who is still cursing Tomoki in his heart, naturally will not stand up.
The one who stood up was Utane Koharu, who was also from Konoha's F4, no, it should be F3 now.
"Minister Uchiha, war is not something you can take lightly. Right now, we don't know the strength of Kirigakure, or even Kirigakure's destination. Invading the Land of Fire is just speculation."
"Perhaps the Hidden Mist Village is not here for Konoha. If we, Konoha, take the initiative to attack at this time, we may attract real enemies for Konoha."
Utatane Koharu's words made sense and it was true that Kirigakure was still at sea.
Perhaps it is not impossible that he would take a short rest in the Land of Waves and then turn north to the Land of Thunder.
However, Tomoki, who knew clearly that Obito was behind Kirigakure, knew that Kirigakure's target would only be Konoha, but he could not say it out loud.
Tomoki still hasn't given up the idea of taking the initiative and destroying Kirigakure on the sea.
"Advisor Tateishi is right, but if we allow Kirigakure to advance, when he uses the Land of Waves as a springboard to truly invade the Land of Fire, we will have too many places to defend."
"My suggestion is to take the initiative and destroy Kirigakure directly at sea."
"Uchiha clan leader, can you take responsibility for your misjudgment? If Kirigakure's goal is not Konoha, you will start a war yourself."
Youshu was also very annoyed looking at the old woman. What do you mean by "I should take responsibility"? Is it fun to argue?
"Then can the shinbun consultant take responsibility for the error in judgment? If Kirigakure invades the Land of Fire, will the shinbun consultant go to the battlefield?"
You old woman, besides nagging for no reason, you just hide when there is something wrong. I really don't understand what the use of a consultant is. You are not as good as Danzo.
"You..." Utane Koharu was speechless. Asking her to go to the battlefield was a joke.
Besides, she is Konoha's advisor. When will she be held responsible for what she said?
As the two fell silent, the conference room did not fall silent. Everyone started discussing with the people around them in groups of three or four.
What both sides say actually makes sense, and this is the most confusing part, but they are only part of Konoha, and ultimately it depends on the decision of the Hokage.
Unable to come up with anything to discuss, everyone slowly stopped discussing and turned their attention to the Third Hokage who was smoking a cigarette.
As the conference room gradually became quiet, it was time for Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was being watched by everyone, to make a decision.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was weak in character and did not have the courage to strike first. Finally, Sarutobi Hiruzen cleared his throat.
"Konoha should begin preparations for war. At the same time, send envoys to the Kirigakure army to inquire about their intentions. Do not act rashly for the time being. We cannot initiate a war."
Youshu had a premonition about this decision, and he still wanted to fight for it again, "Hokage, can you allow the Security Department to act first? The Uchiha clan does not need Konoha's support. I am willing to lead my subordinates to snipe Kirigakure."
"When the time comes, no matter what Kirigakure's purpose is, we will be able to move forward and backward freely."
To be honest, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very tempted by this proposal. If Danzo were still alive, he would definitely send the Root to take such action.
But looking at Tomoki, the Uchiha clan's fighting characteristics are so obvious that they will obviously expose Konoha as soon as they attack.
Even if he tells others that this was just the Uchiha clan's private behavior and had nothing to do with Konoha, do you think everyone would believe it?
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, "No, we can't take any action until we get accurate information, especially you, the Uchiha clan leader, take care of your people."
Tomoki spoke again, "Hokage-sama..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer had the patience to deal with Uchiha Tomoki, as the affairs of Kirigakure had already made him overwhelmed.
He interrupted what Youshu was about to say, "Enough, Uchiha clan leader, this is an order, remember, I am the Hokage!"
Tomoki stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen in a daze, and finally realized how unreliable an indecisive Hokage was, so he stopped pretending.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen! Remember what you said today, you will regret it and you will come to the Uchiha clan to find me in person!"
"Then you will pay the price for your cowardice today!"
"How dare you, Uchiha Tomoki, watch your attitude." Mitomon Yan, who finally seized the opportunity, scolded loudly.
Youshu ignored Mitomon En's shouting, "Hmph! Uchiha, I won't accompany you!"
Then he left the meeting room directly.
