Only the ninjas who directly commanded and were in charge of this war were qualified to attend.

Uchiha Aoshui, the commander-in-chief of the Hidden Mist Battlefield.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Sand Village battlefield.

The battlefield commanders of Kumogakure are Tsunade and Orochimaru.

Battlefield commanders at Iwagakure: Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze.

Rain-hidden battlefield commanders: Hatake Sakumo and Kakuzu.

However, neither Sakumo Hatake nor Kakuzu attended the meeting.

This pair of individuals, whose files are registered under Root, are diligently leading Root ninjas in setting up booby traps on the battlefield.

Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

Weapons of mass destruction…

Everyone else seems so confident and knowledgeable, but these two, master and apprentice, can't understand a thing...

Is it the Nine-Tails?

However, Minato Namikaze knew Kushina's condition best.

While Kurama is surprisingly not causing trouble right now, Kushina is still a long way from being able to use the power of this calamity in combat...

It wasn't that Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to hide it from Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze.

It was the thoughts of these two people that made him, the Hokage, very dissatisfied.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi saw the Tobirama series of aerial combat equipment that Konoha now possessed, Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze found him one night and earnestly recounted the prophecy about the Great Toad Sage.

[A prophetic child who wields multiple powers, speaks of peace yet wages war, and emerges from taboo...]

It must be said that, knowing the "true feelings," Hiruzen Sarutobi truly embodies Aoshui.

With multiple bloodline limits, an artful war plan, and a forbidden technique created by Tobirama Senju, all of this makes sense.

The problem is, Jiraiya's next words made Hiruzen Sarutobi lose his composure.

He wanted to rekindle the master-disciple relationship between Qingshui and him, and even said he would use the power of Mount Myōboku to guide him, so that the ninja world could be put back on the right track...

That's not even human language!

While it is true that the Blue Water was born from a forbidden technique, that was Tobirama Senju's technique. Is it any of your business?

Even the Third Hokage could only nod and agree, while Jiraiya, a mere grand-disciple, still wanted to interfere.

The fact that they would use the power of Mount Myōboku to guide Aoshui further enraged Hiruzen Sarutobi, almost exposing Aoshui's true identity and making him see more clearly what this so-called sage's prophecy was all about...

If one could truly make prophecies, how could one not know that Aoshui is the future Tobirama Senju?

If they knew that, how could they dare to let Jiraiya take Aozumi as his apprentice?

Therefore, in Hiruzen Sarutobi's view, this means that Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze have been completely misled and have become loyal spokespeople for Mount Myōboku.

Jiraiya even changed his headband.

If it weren't for past favors and the fact that Konoha's military strength was indeed strained, Hiruzen Sarutobi would have already dealt with Jiraiya.

What is this for?

Do you want the next Hokage to also become the representative of Mount Myōboku, and pass it down from generation to generation?

If things really continue like this, Konoha will belong to Mount Myōboku!

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze a very serious warning, and was very distressed.

He originally thought that Minato Namikaze would be a ninja different from Jiraiya, using the power of Mount Myōboku to give back to Konoha.

Unfortunately, Minato Namikaze nowadays clearly maintains a trusting attitude towards the words of the Great Toad Sage.

What Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know was that in the original timeline, Minato Namikaze had also given the key to the Eight Trigrams Seal within Naruto to Mount Myōboku...

Therefore, the current approach is to let Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze focus solely on fighting and avoid trying to obtain information about Root.

In their view, telling those toads about Konoha's secrets was no big deal. Although Mount Myōboku wouldn't leak information to other hidden villages, it was a matter of Jiraiya and Minato's stance.

Apart from the two successors of Mount Myōboku, the other Konoha ninjas had little trust in this so-called holy land.

Especially when Qingshui is involved.

After the unpleasant parting, Hiruzen Sarutobi made up his mind to have a serious talk with Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze after the war.

Jiraiya thought the same thing. Once this war was over, no matter who tried to stop him, he was going to find Aoshui and have a talk with him…

"Old man, what do you mean by weapons of mass destruction?"

Jiraiya couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Why didn't Minato and I receive any notification...?"

Orochimaru glanced at the expressions of those present and chuckled inwardly, already guessing the gist of the matter.

I saw.

Orochimaru said quietly:

"According to the prophecies of the White Snake Sage and the Slug Sage, the successor of the toad is not suitable to know too much information about Konoha. Therefore, with two sages being more than one, the village made this decision."

"Jiraiya, you understand, right?"

Jiraiya's expression instantly twisted, and he stood up menacingly: "You stinky snake, are you deliberately picking a fight?!"

Tsunade snorted coldly: "That's right, you're not convinced?"

"The Great Toad Sage's prophecy doesn't count, but the ones from Shikkotsu Forest and Ryuchi Cave don't?"

Jiraiya took a deep breath, his face flushed, and looked at his former comrades, his heart filled with grief and indignation.

Who knows, family members!

Can the Great Toad Immortal's prophecies be the same as everyone else's? They're incredibly accurate, so why don't you believe them!

Minato Namikaze watched this scene helplessly and shook his head.

For others, the prophecy of Mount Myōboku is indeed valuable and credible, after all, it is a sacred place in legend where Sage Mode is mastered, and many people in the ninja world yearn for it.

But here, there are two other heirs from the holy land, which is quite awkward.

Although the three holy lands appear to be at peace on the surface, they actually spend most of their time fighting each other, and they show no mercy when they kill one another.

Tsunade and Orochimaru didn't believe the prophecy of Mount Myōboku; they truly didn't believe it to the core.

"Alright, everyone, let's settle the grudges between the summoned beasts privately after this war is over."

Qing Shui narrowed his eyes, emphasizing the word "spirit beast," and tapped the table to signal everyone to quiet down.

"This is the minefield layout map for each war zone. Make sure to inform your ninjas not to enter rashly..."

Qing Shui slowly said, "The booby trap zone will greatly restrict the enemy's attack route, but I still left them a way out, an area that is easy to check."

"And this area is a terrain advantage that allows us to concentrate our bombing."

"I will assign Root liaisons to each of your teams. Once a large-scale gathering of enemy troops is discovered, they will notify me, the commander-in-chief, to launch an attack using the latest Tobirama series weapons."

"From dispatch to arrival, the average time from the Tobirama to the major battlefields is two hours, but with the support of various intelligence and your foresight as commanders, this time will be greatly shortened."

"Based on the advantageous terrain of the booby trap zone, we should deploy troops in stages and conduct segmented ambushes, with the primary objective of killing enemy personnel. When important enemy units appear, such as the Kage of a village, Kage candidates, or Jinchūriki, we should promptly notify headquarters, and I will find a way to deal with them."

"In short, all actions must be carried out under command. This is a new era of ninja war, not the old way of throwing lives away."

Qingshui scanned the crowd with a blank expression: "I don't want to see anyone fall behind Konoha's pace."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said decisively, "On the battlefield, there is only one commander, and I, as the Hokage, will cooperate with Aozumi!"

Orochimaru and Tsunade naturally had no objections, not to mention Kakuzu and Sakumo Hatake.

Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze, who were in charge of the Iwagakure battlefield, could only nod in agreement, indicating that they would obey Aoshui's arrangements.

"Go and reply to all the hidden villages, and make all the ninjas in those villages furious!"

"Konoha so sincerely pursues peace, holding peace agreement meetings and joint Chunin Exams without any intention of hiding its true intentions, yet it is still being falsely accused. It's truly infuriating and heartbreaking..."

Qing Shui shook his head with a sigh and finalized the content of his reply:

"The Leaf Village, betrayed by its allies, warns all invaders in the ninja world that we will take all necessary and unnecessary measures to deal with any enemy with an unrestricted retaliatory attitude. We hope they will consider the consequences and not say they were not warned."

"If the war is stopped now, Konoha will accept their apology, but if the war starts, the village that made the mistake will be severely punished."

Hiruzen Sarutobi curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

As expected of a teacher, he's still fishing even under these circumstances!

They even considered the issue of reputation. Is it because they're a bit overwhelmed by the Tobirama series of weapons?

If it is stated in advance that there is no limit to the retaliation, then if some less-than-gentle weapons are introduced later, it can be morally justified.

Uchiha clan.

Obito Uchiha sighed and complained to Black Zetsu:

"Honestly, Aoshui still treats me like a child. I already have the three-tomoe Sharingan, yet he sends me to fight against Iwagakure!"

"Those guys from Kirigakure, although they're a counter to the Uchiha clan, I can still step in. I want to share their burden..."

Under Qingshui's planning, the elite Uchiha from Root all went to the Hidden Mist battlefield with him.

Although the Sharingan is countered by the Hidden Mist Technique and its Fire Release technique is not suitable for dealing with Water Release, compared to other Konoha ninjas, it is still one of the most capable ninja clans to contend with.

Meanwhile, Obito Uchiha, Black Zetsu, Setsuna Uchiha, Fugaku Uchiha, and other members of the Uchiha clan were all handed over to Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya, who were in charge of Iwagakure, by Aokizuki.

Qingshui also needs to acquire enough Kaguya clan targets, or even the entire clan, and perhaps even try to take over Kirigakure village as a side project.

In response to the series of events involving Obito Uchiha, Aoki handed over the stage to Onoki, Black Zetsu, and Madara Uchiha.

Aoki believed that after he made Obito Uchiha appear before him, Onoki, who had a phobia of the Uchiha clan, would take on the role of his opponent.

Even when he's not around, Black Zetsu can still use his schemes to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Just as Aokiji had thought, when Black Zetsu learned that Aokiji hadn't brought Obito Uchiha with him, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

If this man, whom it couldn't see through, were here, Black Zetsu really wouldn't know how to manipulate Obito Uchiha.

But as long as Aokiji isn't around, with Black Zetsu's acting skills and White Zetsu's cooperation, and if Madara Uchiha tries to exert his full strength, they can definitely accomplish it.

"Obito, Aozumi is doing this for your own good..."
