I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

"Thirdly, this is an insult, not only to the twenty-one ninjas who sacrificed their lives on the eastern border, but also to the Uchiha clan who were once stationed on the eastern border!"

"I believe that no one thinks that just by stopping the war, the souls of the dead can rest in peace, and the families, clansmen, and friends of the victims can be let go, right?"

"A blood debt must be repaid with blood!"

At the end, even the usually stern-faced Nara Shikaku revealed a cold expression.

only........

What's wrong with you now?

'亥一.'

He glanced at his best friend across from him out of the corner of his eye.

'Clap. '

Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pipe.

Today was a terrible day, in every sense of the word.

He also knew that it was time for him to make a decision.

Not only here, but he may also have to go to the Daming Prefecture in person to explain the situation later.

After all, war is not child's play!

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

There are too many things that need to be scheduled and feedback needs to be provided.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have hastily dispatched a force of less than a hundred men to provide support.

However, just as he was about to say something, an ANBU member wearing a white mask suddenly appeared from the shadows and bowed to hand him a bloodstained Ninja Hawk anklet.

"Lord Hokage, this is an urgent battle report from the eastern border!!"

These words instantly stopped Hiruzen Sarutobi in his tracks, and he quickly took the document and began to analyze it.

"The second line of defense has fallen, the situation is dire, and more than half of the reinforcements have been killed or wounded. We request reinforcements and medical ninjas!!"

It's Asma's handwriting.

As for reinforcements...

Most of them are elites of the Sarutobi clan!

In an instant, a crimson hue quietly spread across his aged eyes, and he gripped the blood-stained note tightly in his palm.

"The Hidden Mist is ready for battle."

"Then let's fight!!"

Chapter 180 will be amended to remove the "if" part!

When the Third Hokage made the decision to wage war, everything was already settled.

As for what urgent message was conveyed on the bloodstained note, no one took the initiative to ask.

Because just by looking at the Hokage's ashen face, one could already glean a lot of information; this was definitely not good news.

As for the two advisors, they were simply sitting in their seats with dark faces, practicing silent meditation.

Even that recent message didn't inspire any desire to peek into it.

"...The transfer of personnel from various ethnic groups will remain as it is for now."

After putting down his pipe, Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly regained his former prowess and experience, his arrangements and deployments flowing smoothly without the slightest hesitation.

Such a broad perspective and such control made all the clan heads and Jonin feel a chill, as if they were seeing that 'Ninja Hero' who once dominated the five kingdoms!

Even Shimura Danzo, who had always wanted to replace him, couldn't help but show a hint of admiration in his eyes when faced with his old friend who was so eloquent and powerful.

However, he also received an unexpected reward today: praise and recognition from many clan heads and Jonin.

This is truly a scene that has almost never been seen before.

At the same time, this incident also reaffirmed one thing for him:

If one wants to rise to power and replace Hiruzen, in addition to the necessary qualifications, ruthless methods, and the support or non-opposition of the clan heads, the most important thing is timing!

It must be a time of war, not a time of peace!

Otherwise, I will forever remain a shadow hidden beneath the leaves of Konoha!

As for the resentment of the other two old friends.

Ah.

If he doesn't even care about Rikuzan's attitude, why would he care about them?

Of course, you should also offer a symbolic apology afterward.

After all, we might need it again in the future.

"Secondly, Kakashi Hatake!"

After stabilizing the situation, Hiruzen Sarutobi once again mobilized the personnel on the field. These were all elites of Konoha, and if used well, they were all capable of taking on ten opponents.

"exist."

Although some of Ara Uchiha's remarks have made him somewhat out of sorts, he has shown an unambiguous serious attitude when a mission comes his way.

"I will write a letter later, and I would appreciate it if you could send it to Iwagakure and deliver it to Lord Onoki in person."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice."

While repelling the enemy, the other two major powers also need to be stabilized. Even though he has had some contact with those two 'shadows' recently, he still has to be on guard.

The reason Kakashi Hatake was sent to the relatively troublesome Iwagakure was because, in addition to his considerable strength, he also possessed a clever mind that was no less than that of the Nara clan.

Good at adapting to changing circumstances.

As for the information about Akatsuki member 'Black and White Aloe's' abilities, it was his bargaining chip to stabilize Onoki and keep Iwagakure in check.

"Yes!"

Kakashi's sentences are concise.

"Ah."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly after receiving a response, then turned his gaze to the thick-browed ninja sitting next to Kakashi.

"Metkay!"

He called out in a deep voice.

"Lord Hokage, please give your orders!"

Upon being called out, Matt Kei immediately raised an eyebrow and stood up excitedly, his black eyes revealing eagerness.

"Similar to the Kakashi mission, I will write a letter to Lord Rasa of Sunagakure later, which you can deliver to him."

The decision to send Paikai to Sunagakure was made after careful consideration.

Because, on the surface, Sunagakure and Konoha have an alliance.

Although, he really didn't expect that guy Rosa to uphold the treaty's terms of alliance and mutual assistance.

But we must also be careful.

Sending the capable and mild-mannered Guy was intended to maintain the facade of the treaty while simultaneously sending a message: 'Konoha doesn't need to send all its strongest warriors to the front lines to handle the threat from Kirigakure!'

"But, Lord Hokage!"

"I want to go to the eastern border. I want to avenge my fallen comrades!!"

"Please let me go to the border!!"

"I will make those bastards from Kirigakure regret their decision to set foot in the Land of Fire!"

Upon hearing this order, Matt Kai's expression changed drastically, and his hands clenched into fists, with veins like cages spreading across his arms!

This was not a momentary outburst of anger or passion on his part.

Rather, it's because he personally has some irreconcilable personal grudges with Kirigakure.

During the Third Shinobi World War, his father sacrificed himself in a battle against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to save him.

However, when the enemy was approaching, the Hokage actually distanced himself from the battlefield and went to Sunagakure, which was located on the opposite side of the eastern border, to act as a messenger!

How can I possibly get him to accept this?

"Calm down, Kai!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally saw through this guy's little scheme, but he didn't change his mind. Before the former could say anything more, he continued to explain:

"Don't underestimate this mission!"

With just one sentence, he successfully grasped Matt Kai's point of resistance and managed to quiet him down.

Those eager eyes were even more eager to hear what was to come.

"You must know that the task you bear is no less important than that of your comrades on the front lines!"

"The two advisors' concerns are indeed valid. Although Sunagakure has signed an alliance agreement with us, we are not children. In the face of interests, such a mere piece of paper can be easily torn to shreds!"

At this point, Matt Kai's eagerness diminished again, as if he had been splashed with cold water.

At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi also used his own methods to slightly salvage Koharu and Homura's image, which was also a small gesture of goodwill.

"Although, it is true that we are judging others by our own petty standards."

"But what if?"

"What if the higher-ups of Sunagakure can't resist such temptation? What if the Daimyo of the Land of Wind orders an attack on Konoha?"

"So, if something like that really happens, then it'll all depend on you, Matt Kay!"

"It's not just about sending the message back to Konoha."

"If necessary, I will even be able to single-handedly hold off the massive army of the Hidden Sand Village!!"

"Are you capable of shouldering such a heavy responsibility?"

As he finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice grew increasingly heavy, and his gaze became extremely sharp, as if he could see right into the depths of others' hearts.
