The Steady King of Konoha

Hayama's attitude in the conference room was very tough, which made Nara Shikazune's face turn red and white, and he was in a dilemma.

What he was embarrassed about was that he didn't know how to deal with the increasingly rampant smuggling gangs in the city. If he followed the instructions, it would undoubtedly arouse the dissatisfaction of the daimyo and other nobles; if he didn't follow the instructions, if a war broke out and it would be detrimental to Konoha, it would be too difficult to be caught in the middle.

"Sir, this matter should be left to the Hokage-sama to decide. No matter what, I have to say hello to the daimyo first."

Ye Shan showed a sinister smile and said lightly: "Lu Chang, you are a smart person, and you are often very measured in doing things, which is very good. But what is needed in war is not smart people, war needs bold and careful people."

"How can you accomplish anything if you do everything with foresight and hesitation? You are now the supreme commander of Platycodon City. The lives of more than three hundred ninjas are entrusted to you. The safety of Konoha Village is entrusted to you. I want you to first

The interests of the village and not the interests of the nobles were taken into consideration."

"Remember me, you are a Konoha ninja at all times! You are safeguarding the interests of the village! I don't care which nobles I offend, and I don't care about their life or death, but if your hesitation causes the village to fall into crisis,

I will use all my power to impeach you!"

"I'll stop here. What you do is your business. I won't interfere, but I will keep an eye on it."

After saying that, Hayama patted the table, stood up, glanced around the ninjas in the conference room with unnatural expressions, and left straight away.

Nara Shikatsuki was also a ninja with a high status. When had he ever been reprimanded like this in the village? His face turned gloomy, his hands clenched into fists, and deep resentment flashed in his eyes.

However, he is destined to be incompetent and furious. He can only safeguard the interests of Konoha and the Fire Nation nobles. It depends on how he chooses.

"Sir, do you want to report it to Hokage-sama urgently?" A middle-aged ninja asked hesitantly.

Nara Shikazune snorted coldly: "Report to the Hokage-sama? I don't think it's necessary. Baiyun Yeshan is watching in the city, so what if the Hokage-sama doesn't agree?"

There was something Nara Shikazune couldn't say in front of everyone. Judging from his understanding of Naruto, reporting this matter would definitely not lead to any results. The most Sarutobi Hiruzen could reply with was "read", which is one more word.

There will be none.

The Hokage of this village usually likes to do nothing more than sit on the sidelines and never take a stand unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, how could Danzo Shimura have become more and more rampant over the years.

In other words, he is a skilled politician who uses the art of maneuvering and balancing. He is a qualified politician. It is impossible for a politician to harm the interests of others for no reason, unless it involves himself, so Sarutobi Hiroshi is 100% sure about this.

Will ignore it.

Nara Shikasune has a very high IQ, and what he has achieved today is his wisdom that is different from ordinary people. From the moment Hayama got up and left the conference room, he had an idea in his mind.

"Send ninjas to evacuate the residents in the city. Those caravans that involve food, steel, and medicine will be expelled! I want to see an empty city before sunset tomorrow!"

Immediately, a ninja stopped him: "Sir, is there something wrong with doing this? Not to mention whether the nobles such as the daimyo will accuse us of such actions, just relying on Hayama's words to disperse the residents of the city and disrupt the order of the city, once we are held accountable,

We can't afford it."

Nara Shikazune remained silent, thinking rapidly in his mind. After a long time, he whispered softly: "What if the thing is true?"

Yes, what if the thing is true? If what Hayama said is completely true, Sunagakure Village will have troops on the city in a few days. Platycodon City will definitely be surrounded by water, and tens of thousands of civilians will be crowded into the city. Sunagakure Village

There is no need to rush to attack the city. It only takes three or four days to capture Platycodon Castle easily. After all, it is impossible to defend the city without food.

"If it is true, we will become the sinners of Konoha, the Land of Fire! When the Platycodon Castle is lost, how can we still have the dignity to gain a foothold in the village!?"

"Just do as I say. If something goes wrong, Baiyun Yeshan will be there, and Lord Hokage will be there to take care of it. In an emergency, you can't take care of that much."

Everyone looked at each other and could only respond in silence.

Nara Shikamaru saw everyone disperse, and a strong bitterness appeared on his resolute face. At first, he had a lucky mentality, but Hayama's words were very clear. If something happened if he didn't do it, he would punish all the Nara clan.

I can't even afford the sky lanterns.

Platycodon Castle can be lost, but it cannot be lost so quickly. It must be supported at least until the village sends supporting troops. Otherwise, a large number of ninjas from the Country of Wind will invade the territory of the Country of Fire, and the initiative in the war will no longer be in Konoha's hands.

...

It was late at night, and the noisy Konoha Village had stopped enjoying the day. Most people had fallen asleep. Only the ninjas on duty were still conscientiously patrolling the village, watching out for criminals causing trouble.

Suddenly, a sharp eagle cry alerted several ninjas, and they quickly rushed to the roof. The flashlights kept flashing at night, as if they were conveying some signal.

Almost at the same time, the light of a flashlight also came from the high wall at the village gate, which was clearly visible even from a long distance away.

"Captain, what happened?"

"It's nothing, it's Takamaru who's back."

Several people felt relieved and laughed: "I don't know what big thing happened at the border, but they actually let Takamaru come back. He is the fastest falcon in the village."

"What big thing could happen? It's just that a small group of enemies invaded the Fire Country. This happens a few times every year. Okay, let's continue patrolling energetically. A few drunkards openly robbed stores a few days ago.

Hokage-sama is very angry. If anything happens at this juncture, we will not be able to live without it."

"yes!"

Not to mention that several people continued to patrol, Konoha's intelligence department was busy. The ninja on night duty cursed and walked to Takamaru who had just stopped. Naturally, he felt unhappy. This is peace time, what can't be done?

Do you want to report during the day? You have to carry out an attack at night that disturbs your dreams.

"Old rules, go call the person in charge of the code class and the barrier class, and tell them you're here to live."

The leading ninja muttered like this, but did not hesitate at all. After untying the information tied to Takamaru's leg, he fondled the falcon whose feathers were soaked with sweat, and took some food and water to feed it.

Go down.

Not long after, the two ninjas walked into the intelligence department at the same time. After seeing the information sealed in the box, their faces filled with sleepiness suddenly woke up.

The purpose of setting up the intelligence department, code class, and barrier class in Konoha is naturally not to get a few extra points of salary, but to ensure that the information will not be hidden secretly. One thing can be completed by dividing it into three different departments.

Very good supervision effect, preventing spies from enemy countries from hiding intelligence.

The ninja from the barrier class stepped forward and looked at the sealing technique carefully, with a flash of shock in his eyes: "This is the highest level sealing technique in Konoha! It is not allowed to be used unless it is an emergency. It seems that something big happened on the border!

"

"What?"

The other two people hurriedly approached and asked eagerly: "Did you read that correctly?"

"You can't be wrong. This is the information coming from Platycodon City. The sealing technique above was only developed last month. No one can solve it except Lord Kushina."

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry and invite Lady Kushina!"

"Invite the deputy head of the ANBU as well. He is the leader of the code squad, and only he can decipher the highest-level codes."

The Intelligence Department became commotion, and about half an hour later, three more ninjas walked in, but they were the top leaders of the three departments.

Kushina has fiery red hair and a beautiful figure wrapped in a ninja vest. She looks quite capable. Seeing that she has the highest level of sealing surgery, her face is shocked and at the same time cautious.

Her white fingers quickly formed seals. After a total of thirty-seven seals, she touched the sealing talisman with her right index finger and shouted in a low voice: "Open!"

The sealing talisman fell down with a sound, but Kushina did not stop. She continued to make seals quickly, and then slapped the box with her palm: "Unsolved!"

Everyone felt that there was a strange chakra fluctuation in the room, and they had no idea why, but they could have done anything. The highest level of information transmission naturally had to be preserved with double sealing techniques, and the talisman outside was just a cover-up.

The thing inside is probably the most fatal thing. Once someone opens the information box rashly, the skin will be peeled off even if it is dead.

After receiving Kushina's signal, the deputy ANBU gently picked up the intelligence box and carefully took out the paper placed in it.

After some tea, a piece of translated information was placed in front of several people, which shocked them.

Kushina looked around at the people in the room, hesitated and said in a deep voice: "From now on, no one is allowed to leave the room for even half a step, otherwise they will be treated as traitors to the village!"

The Kazekage disappeared and the Ninja World War broke out. If the information was true, no one could be too careful. No one could guarantee that there were not two or five boys in the room.

Of course, Kushina cannot be a second-year-old. She is the ultimate weapon of Konoha Village and has no reason to rebel against the village.

"I will report the matter to the Hokage-sama. Before that, you all stay in the room and are not allowed to move around, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

There was no trace of dissatisfaction on the faces of these people. Instead, they took it all for granted. They immediately found a place to sit down and kept thinking about their future plans.

Kushina nodded with satisfaction, put the information away close to her body, and left the room in a flash.

When several people saw Kushina leaving, they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Their looks at each other became strange, as if they were on guard for something.

Kushina first came to the Hokage's office, but was told that the Hokage had no work tonight but had returned home. She had no choice but to rush to the Sarutobi clan's territory.

After a while, she arrived outside the Sarutobi clan, and when she was about to enter, she was stopped by someone.

"Kushina-sama, what's the matter with coming here late at night?"

The anxious Kushina was so angry that she was burning her ass. There was actually a blind guy who jumped out to waste time and talk nonsense. Isn't this nonsense? Why should I come to Sarutobi Hiruzen, a bad old man?

Doesn’t it sound good to sleep in bed?

"roll!"

Kushina is the No. 1 tyrant of Konoha Village, second only to Tsunade. Now her temper is rising and she will not be merciful. In fact, if time were not pressed, she would even want to compete with the blind guy in front of her in ninjutsu.

.

"..."

The ninjas of the Sarutobi clan who jumped out didn't dare to let out a single fart, and sank into the darkness in despair, letting Kushina walk through the door.

Unexpectedly, Kushina grabbed him by the collar of his clothes: "Where is Naruto now?"

"At home."

"Nonsense, of course I know he is at home. Could it be that he is at the widow's place? Lead me the way!"

The ninja on duty was full of complaints but did not dare to express them. He only felt aggrieved because Kushina asked where the Hokage was, and he answered that there was nothing wrong with him at home.

He was not aggrieved at all, because no one could communicate normally with an anxious and angry person, especially if the other person was a female ninja. It would have been good if she didn't get beaten. Communication was a hammer.
