Konoha: From Aburame to God.

Chapter 227 Konoha High-Level Meeting
Konoha.

meeting room.

When Minato arrived here with Utatane Koharu and Mitokado En, he saw Shiyi and Orochimaru had already arrived.

Originally, Minato just wanted to invite Shiyi and Orochimaru to a small meeting.

But when Utane Koharu and Mitomon En heard that Minato was going to hold a small meeting and hadn't invited them, they immediately revolted.

How can we hold a meeting without bringing them along!

They want to attend the meeting too!

It is our duty to restore the glory of Konoha F4!
They are already so old, and they did not retire with Sarutobi Hiruzen because they hoped to shine and give warmth in the last moments of their lives so that people will remember them.

Is this excessive? Not at all!
So he kept harassing Minato, saying that you are still young and can't do it without the support of senior seniors.

Minato was so annoyed by the harassment from the two that he could hardly maintain his gentle smile.

You can't hit them, and you can't scold them. They are really two pieces of good dog-skin plasters!

Besides, didn't you join Zhiyi? What do you mean by harassing me instead of harassing Zhiyi?
"Zhiyi said that as long as you agree, he will allow us to have a small meeting."

Utane Koharu slowly explained the reason. They didn't dare to harass Zhiyi like this because Zhiyi really dared to hit them.

Finally, Minato couldn't stand the two old guys' prying eyes anymore, so he agreed to let them sit in and brought the two guys to the conference room.

There were three chairs in the conference room, with Orochimaru and Shiyi occupying one each.

And then...Minato sat down.

Three chairs have been taken.

Minato is the Hokage and has nominally the highest authority; Shiyi serves as the director of the training department and masters core technologies; Orochimaru has great prestige and many followers as his Root base.

Only Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were left standing there awkwardly.

It was clear that Minato still had resentment towards the harassment of the two Hokage advisors.

When Utane Koharu and Mitokado En saw Zhiyi nod slightly to them, they immediately stood behind Zhiyi.

The two of them want everything now, except shamelessness!
Just stand there!

Not to mention standing, no matter how many people begged to kneel in this most powerful meeting in Konoha, they didn't even have a chance!
"Takinin Shibuki brought three Chunins to Konoha at full speed and told them that Takigakure Village was jointly invaded by Sand Village and Iwagakure Village, and hoped for Konoha's support."

Minato's voice was filled with calmness.

"According to Shibuki, the Sand and Rock ninjas are targeting the Seven-Tails and the Heroic Water."

"Nanabi?"

Utane Koharu and Mitomon En were horrified.

"Yes, the Sand Ninja and Rock Ninja's fight for the Tailed Beasts has the potential to disrupt the current situation in the Ninja World."

Minato looked very solemn. The fact that Takigakure Village was divided up was not important. What was important was the significance of this incident.

"We have to consider whether this means that the Sand Village and the Rock Village are ready to fight another war?"

"It shouldn't be. The Iwagakure Village is still under attack from the Ryuchido Cave. Even if they wanted to start a war, they would be powerless."

Zhiyi looked at Orochimaru. Orochimaru was the contractor of Ryuchi Cave and should know some news about Ryuchi Cave.

"Ryuchido has indeed attacked Iwagakure. Not long ago, most of its forces were sent to attack Iwagakure. I'm afraid Iwagakure will not have the energy and strength to start a war before Ryuchido is dealt with."

"It should be that there is something in Takigakure that the Sand Ninja and the Rock Ninja covet, so it was invaded."

Orochimaru said. "Nanabi is understandable, but what is the Hero's Water?"

Utatane Koharu said with some confusion that the Hero's Water was coveted together with the Tailed Beasts, so it must be a treasure.

"Hero's Water can increase a ninja's chakra by dozens of times, but the fate of a ninja who takes it is death. Moreover, it takes a hundred years to accumulate enough chakra for a ninja to take."

Zhiyi gave a brief explanation.

"However." Zhiyi changed the subject and his expression looked serious.

"This kind of behavior must be cracked down on. The current structure carries the vision of the first generation to establish the village! Konoha has an obligation to maintain it!"

Zhiyi's words aroused everyone's approval.

Konoha is the biggest beneficiary of the current order, so of course it has the obligation to maintain it.

"The situation is unclear right now, so let's send ninjas to scout first and make a decision after getting the intelligence."

"However, the actions of the Sand and Rock Ninjas must be condemned. Otherwise, if all five major ninja villages do the same, the ninja world will be in chaos."

Minato decided to play it safe.

"In that case, you decide for yourself, Fourth Generation. I want to focus on building the Giant God Colonization Suit and don't want other things to affect the progress of the Giant God Colonization Suit."

Zhiyi was not interested in this because the current situation was almost entirely driven by him.

“I also have experiments to do.

Orochimaru also spoke up, saying that he had made some progress in his study of the soul and had begun to touch the Pure Land.

To be honest, Orochimaru was very moved by the fact that the soul could be immortal in the Pure Land.

If Orochimaru could understand the true nature of the Pure Land, could he create his own place of eternal life?

……

After making sure that the Sand and Rock Ninjas had retreated, the Taki Ninja leader came to the deep pit where the sacred tree was moved, sat down and remained silent.

It was as if last night's battle was fake. If it weren't for the deep pit left behind after the sacred tree was moved, the Takigakure leader wouldn't even dare to believe that the Takigakure Village had been invaded.

The Takinin leader looked at him with lifeless eyes, as if he had lost his soul.

During the critical moment when Takigakure was invaded, he was still able to command calmly. But once Takigakure was safe, it was as if all his energy was drained away.

He was already very old and didn't have long to live. He suffered a severe blow and even the Taki Ninja leader could hardly bear it mentally.

"Chief, Chief...are you okay?!"

A Taki nin looked at the leader anxiously, wanting to wake him up, but was afraid of hurting the leader, so he didn't dare to move.

After hearing Takinin's call, the Takinin leader came to his senses, forced himself to take a breath and slowly sat up from the ground, rubbed his eyebrows, and looked pale.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and treat the villagers. Then take them to the hidden base. Although the Sand and Rock Ninjas have left, there is still a possibility for them to return."

"Just in case, lead the villagers to hide for a few days first. By that time, Konoha should have brought people here."

Because of the non-violent non-cooperation of the Takinin leader, the casualties suffered by the Takinin were unexpectedly minor.

It can even be said that apart from the Nanabi and the sacred tree being robbed, the casualties in Takigakure Village were not great.

It won't take long for the Taki ninjas to recover to their peak state, of course, the peak they had after losing the sacred tree and the seven-tailed beast.

It's a blessing in misfortune.
