"Or are you saying that the lives of our ancestors were not lives at all?"
Huang wouldn't feel the slightest respect or care for the elderly when it comes to older people like the two advisors!
The room fell silent upon hearing this.
Indeed, the eastern border, once guarded by the Uchiha clan, was never a cause for concern.
That Ao who stole the Hyuga Byakugan was a defeated opponent of Uchiha Shisui!
Of course, they never cared about the losses suffered by this race.
After all, dying in a mission is the fate of a ninja.
"All right."
"Now is not the time for infighting, Ara, please take a seat."
The distraction of firepower allowed Hiruzen Sarutobi to escape, but it also gave him an opportunity to speak.
"The most important thing now is how to deal with Kirigakure's attitude."
"Although Koharu is a bit impatient, she is right about one thing: this time, Kirigakure is different."
"They are waging war against us with the full force of their nation! This cannot be compared to the previous minor skirmishes!"
"If the war continues, the casualties will be even more devastating!"
"Furthermore, we must also be wary of the Iwagakure and Sunagakure forces entrenched on our side!"
“Even if the former has formed an alliance with us, and the latter has a temporary cooperative relationship with us, none of you here are children.”
He went straight to the heart of the problem.
Although he did not finish his sentence, it was enough to make all the family heads and elites imagine the serious consequences that would result if a full-scale war broke out.
Given the geographical environment of the Land of Fire, it is simply impossible for them to fully exert their strength to deal with the invasion of Kirigakure.
Upon hearing this, all the family heads present nodded slightly.
"The solution is simple."
"Only one person needs to be sacrificed."
Whether blinded by anger or reminded of the previous embarrassment, Koharu Utatane spoke again with a pointed tone.
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not stop him from doing so.
Because someone always has to play the bad cop.
Moreover, what if it succeeds?
Chapter 177 Last time it was the Hyuga, this time it's the Uchiha, who will it be next?
To break the deadlock and end the conflict, only one person needs to be sacrificed.
This scene is just too beautiful!!
When Koharu Utatane pointed out what many of the family heads present wanted to say but dared not, the whole scene fell silent.
He calmly accepted the attention from everyone, his face showing a helpless expression that said, "I'm only saying this for Konoha's sake, so let me be the villain."
However, judging from the results, this is indeed the most direct and effective method.
After all, judging from the information we have, Kirigakure is serious this time, and the eastern border is in grave danger under the impact of that force!
Currently, we are still in a manageable phase, but if the war continues and the eastern border is lost...
The resulting disaster and chain reaction would be enormous!
At that point, it won't be something that can be solved by sacrificing one person; hatred will overwhelm all reason.
The entire Hidden Leaf Village will be ravaged by war!
Moreover, everyone knows who is being sacrificed and abandoned.
It was Uchiha Ara, whom Kirigakure sought after—a madman who was inherently unconventional, dared to use his Sharingan to threaten his comrades during meetings, and even attacked a clan's territory, causing chaos!
What's more, the other party inherited the name Uchiha, an evil prefix!
If it's abandoned, then so be it.
Besides, that clan is no longer the powerful family it once was; no one will stand up for him or for such a family!
For a moment, the clan heads and Jonin present fell silent, silently agreeing in their hearts.
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was in charge of the central area, held up his pipe, his brows furrowed, and remained silent.
such.
Perhaps this is the best outcome, the best solution.
Ara didn't expect these guys who seemed to belong to the same faction to speak up for him, after all, the Uchiha clan's reputation in Konoha was indeed not very good.
Especially a few dozen days ago, the series of incidents he stirred up in order to stand up for his juniors failed to win the favor of other families.
The best approach is not to take advantage of someone's misfortune.
However, just as Huang was about to retort to the old man, three voices simultaneously objected:
"no!"
"veto!"
"Lord Hokage, this is inappropriate!"
The sound attracted the attention of the other clan heads and even made Uchiha Ara pause for a moment.
Could it be that the reputation of the Uchiha clan suddenly took a turn for the better after he left?
Or is it that there are still some insightful people in this village?
As for the three people who spoke, Ara also knew them.
They are: Kurama Murakumo, the head of the Kurama clan; Yamanaka Inoichi, the head of the Yamanaka clan; and Kakashi Hatake, an elite Jonin of Konoha.
'It's him again?'
Because Ara had rushed back at the last minute, he didn't sit next to Yamanaka Inoichi this time. However, when he saw the other speak up for him again, he was genuinely puzzled.
If the first time was accidental and the second time was coincidental, then the third time was definitely not an accident!
However, the other party did not seem to be from the Kurama clan and did not appear to be seeking their help. The Yamanaka clan had not had any contact with the Uchiha clan on a regular basis.
So why is that?
For the greater good?
Huang was somewhat puzzled, but after rejecting the proposal, the three of them began to express their own views.
Kurama Murakumo's remarks were similar to those of Yamanaka Inoichi, both questioning the intentions of Kirigakure.
Lately, those guys have been relentlessly targeting Konoha, clearly having planned this for a long time. It's impossible that they're just waging war for Uchiha Ara alone; they must have a bigger scheme behind it all.
What if we hand over the person, but the other side still holds on and refuses to withdraw?
At that time, the entire ninja world will laugh at Konoha's incompetence!
Kakashi coldly addressed Hiruzen Sarutobi, saying, "Hokage, it is a shameful act to hand over your comrades willingly."
The three men's advice not only made the heads of the families present feel uneasy, but also made the third patriarch, who had remained silent all along, slowly put down his pipe.
He had to say something, otherwise he would disappoint others.
However, just as he finished organizing his words and was about to speak, Koharu Utatane, who had already consciously placed herself in the category of having a stern face, suddenly spoke again:
"Then tell me, how do you plan to break this situation?"
"Should we use the full strength of Konoha to fight Kirigakure to the death? Should we still station troops along the other borders?"
This topic left the three who had barely managed to voice their doubts speechless.
indeed.
This time, Kirigakure has clearly declared a full-scale war, and their act of killing the envoy demonstrates their unwillingness to negotiate.
Under such circumstances, they still disregarded the safety of one person and were still preoccupied with Konoha's future reputation.
That's putting the cart before the horse.
If one wrong step is taken, the entire Hidden Leaf Village will be plunged into utter ruin.
Even if they win, Kirigakure can retreat. Being on an island, they have no neighboring countries to threaten them. At most, the Land of Lightning might take advantage of their situation.
But what about them?
What we face is not just the covetousness of one country!
Such a rhetorical question strikes at the heart of the problem!
"If they could, who would be willing to sacrifice their comrades?"
"But this is so that more of our companions can survive, so that more families can be whole!"
"In the past, the Second Hokage, Tobirama, sacrificed himself to give his junior colleagues a chance to live, including Uchiha Kagami."
"This is also the spirit of dedication of the Will of Fire."
Xiaochun, who was switching dorm rooms, recounted her story with great emotion.
They have already linked the word "sacrifice" with righteousness and with the will of fire that they uphold and promote.
These words silenced the three of them once again.
Some heads of prominent families even began to nod silently and hum in agreement.
They could accept it if their clansmen had to sacrifice themselves to protect Konoha and the Land of Fire.
Because this is honor, and the best destiny for a ninja!
but.
If, for the sake of just one Uchiha Ara, their clansmen are to be pushed onto the battlefield, a battlefield where their chances of survival are slim, then so be it.
To be honest, they don't want to!
"Yes, as expected of an advisor, your words are very insightful."
