The Steady King of Konoha

Ye Shan frowned and took a few steps back in disgust to avoid the spray of blood. He was very satisfied with the reaction of the many horrified onlookers. He had long been unhappy with this group of people.

It is strange to say that the technological level of the ninja world is very high. At least modern products such as walkie-talkies and televisions have been born, but its social system is still stuck in the old era.

The head of a country is a daimyo, and there are a large number of lords under the daimyo. These people divide the land completely, leaving ordinary people only as sharecroppers, and their lives are naturally poor. In peacetime, it is okay, and the people

They can do some small business or do odd jobs to make ends meet. Once the Ninja World War breaks out and falls into chaos, their survival will become a problem. Let’s not talk about it far away. Let’s take the Country of Rain as an example. The nobles in this country are intoxicated and obsessed with money.

It was a problem for ordinary people to eat. Many people starved to death on the roadside, which made Ye Shan, who thought he was cruel and ruthless, couldn't bear it.

But there is no way. In front of ninjas, the resistance of ordinary people is as fragile as paper. It is not advisable to improve the system through rebellion unless there is a top-down revolution.

But the ninjas were busy scheming, so where could they care about the lives of civilians?

Therefore, Hayama has always hated the aristocracy, feeling that they are the biggest worms in the ninja world. The system of blood theory and family theory conflicts with the great socialism. As a well-educated young man, Hayama naturally feels that

I'm not used to it. Why are some people superior from the moment they are born? Why are some people born with privileges? This is unfair, very unfair. The view that princes and generals have a certain kind of race has penetrated into Ye Shan's bones, otherwise he would

How could he grow from a civilian ninja to his current position of strength?

Now that the Ninja World War is about to break out, and these reckless people are still jumping around in front of him, can Hayama endure it? The answer is no.

"Come here, don't look at it, it's you."

Ye Shan pointed at a fat, white and tender man and motioned for him to come up.

The man's body was trembling with fat, and he looked extremely frightened. He didn't know where he had offended this god of murder. He squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying and slowly took a few steps forward: "Sir, I am willing.

Go, I really want to go."

Ye Shan smiled and patted the fat on the other person's face: "Don't be afraid, I'm a good person."

"Yes, yes, you are a good man."

"Then why are your legs shaking?"

"ah?"

Not only were the man's legs shaking now, he felt that all the bones in his body were shaking, and big beads of sweat filled his forehead. But as a caravan talker, he was naturally quite clever, and at least he was good at flattering people.

"Your Excellency, you are so majestic. A person like me, a pig and a dog, is lucky enough to communicate with you at such a close distance. I...I am shaking with joy."

Hayama suddenly felt happy. Although the opponent's flattery skills were much inferior to those of Uchiha Keiji, he still didn't hit the horse's hoof. Besides, he had no intention of killing him.

"In that case, I have something to ask you to do."

"My lord, you may say so, but I will not hesitate to go through fire and water."

"It's not that serious." Ye Shan smiled and said, "Did you see that round head?"

"I saw it."

"You go find a bamboo pole, pick it up, and then take it for a walk around the city. That's easy, right?"

The man swallowed hard. He was scared to death but he did not dare to disobey Ye Shan's order. After all, his life was in the palm of his hand.

"Don't worry, sir, I promise to complete the task."

Ye Shan smiled with satisfaction, patted his plump cheek again, and then left here in a flash.

The so-called killing of chickens to scare monkeys is like this. In troubled times, heavy rules should be used. Platycodon City must not be lost before Konoha's reinforcements arrive. It is better to dispel these burdens early, otherwise once the battle starts, they will all be lambs to be slaughtered.

From another perspective, Ye Shan did this for their own good.

At the same time, the huge conference room in Konoha Ninja Village was filled with ninjas participating in the meeting. Even though it was late at night, and even though the Hokage summoned them in a hurry, they were still neatly dressed, except for Jiraiya, the slovenly guy who did not wear any

In addition to the guardian, the other ninjas all attended in formal attire.

Just after twenty minutes, Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared in the conference room on time, wearing the Hokage God's robe and a Hokage hat on his head. The pipe he usually kept in his mouth was not in his mouth. He looked quite serious.

The ninjas present were all shocked.

I won’t go into details about the seal ceremony. Hiruzen Sarutobi has long lost the sense of ritual when he was the Hokage over the years. Now his mind is full of how to lead Konoha through this crisis, so he did not give a long speech, but came here

Let’s get straight to the point.

"According to a joint report from Platycodon Castle Commander Nara Shikazune and Jonin Shiakumo Hayama, the Third Kazekage mysteriously disappeared today. It is basically certain that he is dead."

"The ninjas in Sunagakure Village are ready to move, and there is a high probability that a new ninja world war will break out!"

"..."

Although the ninjas were mentally prepared for what happened, they were still shocked by Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

What the hell? The Kazekage is missing? The Ninja World War? What the hell is this? Didn’t the Ninja World treat you and me well yesterday?

Uchiha Fugaku's expression was extremely exciting. He knew what Hayama wanted to do when he went to the border of Fire Country. If he didn't know Hayama very well and knew that the other party was not a brainless person, he would even think that Hayama killed Kazekage.

WDNMD!

How come Hayama always encounters big events wherever he goes?! Could it be that he has an unlucky constitution that is rare in a thousand years?

Uchiha Fugaku's heart was filled with turmoil, but his face remained calm. He still sat calmly in his seat, and even took out his kettle and took a sip of water with great interest.

"Hokage-sama" Nara Shikaku stood up and bowed: "Is the news true?"

It's not that he doesn't trust his father, it's just that the matter is too big and it's always right to be more cautious.

Sarutobi Hiruzen supported the Hokage hat on his head. His voice was very low, but it revealed some stability: "The news is true. I think the chance of war breaking out is more than 70%!"

Everyone was in an uproar. The probability of 70% is approximately equal to 100%. After all, rounding is common sense.

Many ninjas secretly muttered to themselves that Shirayun Hayama was really a bad guy. Every time he left the village, he would cause big troubles. Of course, no one would dare to accuse him face to face. Otherwise, the Uchiha clan is not a vegetarian. Their mouths and eyes are very sharp.

"Everyone, as Hokage, I have decided that the village will enter a state of war from now on. Do you have any objections?"

The words are all said for this reason, and everyone here is not a fool, so there is no doubt about it.

The so-called war state was created by Hiruzen Sarutobi at the beginning of the Second Ninja War. He was very young at the time. Due to the sudden death of the Second Hokage, it was inevitable that some people in the village would disobey his orders, which is why the war mode was created.

A product. Once this model is approved by the jounin in the village, the Hokage will immediately have the supreme say. All personnel transfers, material distribution and other matters are the Hokage's final say. The remaining ninjas must obey. Taking responsibility is treason.

Village treason.

It is worth mentioning that the first and second generation Hokage did not need this system to implement their decisions. Every word of these two brothers was regarded as a standard by the Konoha ninjas, not a Hokage like Sarutobi Hiruzen who suddenly rose to power.

Comparable.

Seeing that no one objected, especially the Uchiha clan, Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief and then continued: "From now on, the village will start a curfew to ensure that there are no more pedestrians on the streets before dark."

"Leave this matter to the Security Department, is that okay?"

Uchiha Fugaku stood up and took the Hokage's order neatly.

"Send an envoy to the capital to inform the daimyo of the matter. Mitomon Yan, would you please make a trip."

Mito Kadeni, who was sitting next to Sarutobi Hiruzen, pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and nodded steadily, indicating that he had accepted the order.

"From now on, all active ninjas will cancel all rest and be on standby at any time. Orochimaru, you are responsible for counting the personal information of ninjas and creating a book. Nara Shikaku, you will assist Orochimaru in completing it."

"yes!"

"Tsunade, you are responsible for counting the information of medical ninjas, and Jiraiya is responsible for counting the information of sensory ninjas. I want to see the detailed data tomorrow night."

"Xiaochun is responsible for preparing supplies. All supplies must be divided into categories!"

"...."

Order after order kept popping out from Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth, pushing the atmosphere in the conference room to extreme solemnity.

To be honest, Sarutobi Hiruzen's leadership level is quite good. Faced with the sudden war, he was truly methodical and able to stay calm in the face of danger.

This was also the main reason why the ninjas believed in him. Otherwise, how could a Hokage who was in chaos and at a loss have the qualifications to give orders?

After all the orders were given, Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his sore eyes and spoke out the most urgent matter at the moment.

"The strategic position of Platycodon Castle is extremely important. You know this even if I don't tell you. The first battle of Sunagakure Village will definitely take place in Platycodon Castle. It will be difficult for three hundred ninjas such as Nara Shikatsune to hold it, so reinforcements need to be dispatched in time."

"I decided to send a thousand elite ninjas to rescue Platycodon City first!"

The ninjas remained silent, knowing that the main event was coming. Supporting Platycodon City was inevitable, but who should do it was debatable. At least they did not want to be the first to enter the war.

The war mode of ninjas is very strange. It is often extremely brutal when it starts. Large-scale battles continue until one party is exhausted. By then, the rhythm of the war will slow down, and group army operations will be replaced by small team operations.

By then, methods such as sneak sabotage and assassination will become mainstream, and the jounin's chance of survival will undoubtedly be much higher.

Not many people are willing to take the initiative to apply to go to Platycodon City for support, even if they really love the Konoha Village where he was born and raised.

Ninjas who can become Jonin have long passed the age of enthusiasm. They think more about how to survive. Even if they die, they must die in a worthwhile way, at least they cannot die from a missed kunai in a large-scale battle.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had already expected this. In fact, he also knew that the chance of death in supporting Platycodon City was very high, but he had no choice. The war was so cruel that he could not hesitate at all.

"Orochimaru is appointed as the supreme commander of the support force, and immediately becomes the supreme commander of the war against the Kingdom of Wind upon arriving at the border; Nara Shika is appointed as the permanent chief of staff; Shiroun Hayama is recalled to the village for another appointment."

"Of these one thousand people, I require 30% to be occupied by Jonin, 50% by Chunin, and 20% by Genin."

"The Uchiha clan, Hyuga clan, Sarutobi clan, Aburame clan, Nara clan, Akimichi clan, and Yamanaka clan account for 50%. The remaining candidates will be personally selected by Orochimaru."

"The ugly talk is ahead. If anyone dares to violate it openly and secretly, don't blame the village rules and national laws for being ruthless!"

Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, Konoha Village spends a huge amount of money every year to train ninjas, isn't it just for the time of war?

It is not good to live a peaceful and comfortable life for too long. It will cause some ninjas to indulge in pleasure, but it does not matter. When they actually go to the battlefield and see blood, the unruly and bloody nature of the ninja will be activated.

When the time comes, hatred will push them to take the initiative to enter the battlefield, Sarutobi Hiruzen is sure of this.

"Tomorrow at noon, the ninjas I asked for reinforcements will be assembled. In three days at most, I want to see you standing at the top of Platycodon City!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words are resounding. In a state of war, his orders will be executed meticulously, and no one can say "no".
