Daily Life of the Third Hokage

The five shadows were chopped off, and the two sides were in a state of panic.

Under the insistence of Kazekage Takumi, the five shadows reluctantly conducted an in-depth discussion and analysis, and the five shadows reached some consensus.

Although it was said that the resolution was made by the five shadows, in fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not participate at all. He just watched them shouting loudly, and there was almost no actual support.

First, they believed that the surprise attack of Yuyin was out of fear and uneasiness about Sunagakure, and they tried to weaken the power of Sunagakure in this way.

Secondly, Yuyin's actions also exposed their isolation and helplessness, and they may have lost the support and trust of other ninja villages.

Finally, the five shadows believed that to solve this problem, they must take firm and decisive actions, while also maintaining restraint and calmness.

So, the five shadows began to discuss specific response strategies. They decided to take the following measures:

First, strengthen intelligence collection and analysis to fully understand the dynamics and intentions of Yugakure so as to respond in time.

Second, issue a strong warning to Yugakure, demanding that they immediately stop hostile actions, otherwise they will face severe sanctions.

Third, strengthen communication and cooperation with other small countries to jointly deal with the threat of Yugakure and maintain peace and stability in the ninja world.

Fourth, consider imposing economic sanctions and diplomatic isolation on Yugakure to weaken its economic foundation and international status.

Fifth, make military preparations to respond to possible escalation of conflicts at any time.

This is the resolution made at the Five Kage Talks. It is the same whether it is said or not.

There is no specific support. Perhaps the biggest support for Sand Village is to issue a strong warning to Rain Village.

Takumi has seen through Kumogakure and Iwagakure. He said that Sand Village is our brother and we want to avenge our brother, but the final resolution is like this.

In fact, he blamed Kumogakure and Iwagakure wrongly.

The main reason is that Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude is a bit tough, and he seems to be on the side of Rain Village.

On the surface, Kumogakure and Iwagakure did not dare to support Sandagakure, and it was uncertain whether they would take any action in private.

Takumi of Sandagakure hurried to the battlefield of Sandagakure with Chiyo.

Soon, Kumogakure and Iwagakure also left together.

Kirigakure was not in a hurry and left in front of Konoha.

In the Five Kage Building, in the Konoha office area, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat behind a large desk, examining the disciples in front of him with a sharp gaze.

Orochimaru, Tsunade, Hatake Sakumo and Jiraiya, four well-known ninjas in Konoha, were listening attentively to the teachings of the Third Hokage.

Jiraiya happened to be wandering, no, looking for the child of destiny in the Iron Country, and was discovered by the Konoha ninja.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was deep and powerful, and every word hit the hearts of the disciples like a heavy hammer.

"This Five Kage meeting should have been a great opportunity for us to seek a peaceful solution to the dispute between Sand Village and Rain Village. However, the sudden attack by Rain Village made all efforts go to waste. Sand Village urgently needs our assistance, but under the current circumstances, we cannot intervene directly."

Orochimaru frowned, and his eyes flashed with complex light.

As an ambitious ninja, he was naturally unwilling to accept this passive situation. But he also understood that the master's decision must have its deep meaning.

Tsunade was as calm as ever, her hands gently resting on her knees, as if thinking about something.

Hatake Sakumo stood aside, his eyes firm and sharp, as if he was ready to act.

Jiraiya looked leisurely and contented, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if waiting for something.

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued, "I know you may be dissatisfied, but we must face the reality. The current situation in the ninja world is complicated, and we cannot be easily swayed by emotions.

Our goal is to restore peace to the ninja world as soon as possible. And this time, sending you to the battle zone between Sand Village and Rain Village is to achieve this goal."

Orochimaru couldn't help asking, "Master, how should we act? Do we need to negotiate directly with both parties?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, "No, we can't directly intervene in their conflict. Our mission is to act in the name of Konoha and force both parties to reach a peace agreement."

Tsunade frowned and asked, "Acting in the name of Konoha, what if both parties don't listen to us? Wouldn't it be a great risk for us?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled slightly, "Of course there are risks, but this is also an opportunity for us to show Konoha's strength. As long as you can properly handle the relationship with both parties, it is certain that

If we can protect Konoha's interests from being harmed, then this operation can be considered a success.

I believe that with the strength of the four of you, there should be few people in the ninja world who can stop you.

Besides, you are acting in the name of Konoha, and both sides should not dare to neglect you.

You should pay attention to the attacks of some unknown ninjas. "

Hatake Sakumo asked expressionlessly: "Master, do you mean, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, or Kirigakure?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, "Yes, as long as they don't reveal their identities and attack you, all unknown ninjas.

When they don't reveal their identities, you can kill them.

But after they reveal their identities, they are from Kumogakure and Iwagakure, and they can be injured but not killed.

But remember, our goal is not to show off our military power, but to resolve disputes peacefully and restore peace in the ninja world. "

Jiraiya looked leisurely and said with a smile: "Master, in that case, let's go. Anyway, for me, everywhere is a good place to practice. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen glared at him, "You are such a careless guy. However, this operation does require your wisdom."

After explaining the task, Sarutobi Hiruzen analyzed in detail the strength comparison between Sand Village and Rain Village and possible action strategies.

He told his disciples that although Rain Village was not as strong as Sand Village, they had tricky poison attacks and various small tricks that were hard to defend against.

And Sand Village had relatively strong logistics and puppet troops, but their internal situation was not stable.

Therefore, in the course of action, they needed to make full use of these characteristics and formulate appropriate strategies.

Orochimaru listened with great interest, and he couldn't help asking, "Master, how do you think we should use these characteristics?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled slightly, "You need to think about it yourself. Remember, every ninja has his own strengths and advantages, and only by giving full play to them can you achieve the greatest effect. "

Tsunade was as calm as ever. She pondered for a while before saying, "Master, I think we can get in touch with Sand Village first to understand their needs and ideas. Then we can negotiate with Yugakure and see if we can reach some kind of compromise.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, "Yes, this is a good idea. Tsunade, you have always been a child who is good at thinking. "
