As the commander of the front line, if he reported Dynasty Choname's unauthorized action to Wood Leaf, even if Dynasty Choname made a contribution to Wood Leaf, this matter would probably become the reason why the village leaders attacked Dynasty Choname.
Fortunately, Nara Shikaku chose to compromise in the end. If this action changed from an 'unauthorized action' to an 'action planned by everyone', then the nature of the matter would be completely different.
Nara Shikaku, as a member of the Hokage Clan, shouldn't have concealed Dynasty Choname's actions. However, Nara Shikaku knew very well that if the village leaders forced Dynasty Choname on the charge of 'unauthorized action', then it is likely to deepen the conflict between Dynasty Choname and Sandaime.
With Nara Shikaku's understanding of Dynasty Choname, if such a thing really happened, leaving the village may be a good result. If Dynasty Choname doesn't care about the consequences, then it is likely to cause serious damage to Wood Leaf.
As a rational person, Nara Shikaku's compromise is also reasonable.
And as Dynasty Choname's guide, Nara Shikaku can feel that Dynasty Choname still has a little respect for him. With this identity, Nara Shikaku can act as a mediator between Dynasty Choname and Sandaime to ease the conflict between the two sides at the appropriate time.
In fact, releasing Orochi Maru in exchange for power is a small matter, but it is not difficult to find from this small matter that Dynasty Choname and Orochi Maru have a secret relationship for a long time, and this style of doing things for power is not in line with the philosophy of the Hokage Clan.
Fortunately, this is only a conflict of principles, and it hasn't reached the point of hurting Wood Leaf. At most, Dynasty Choname will be classified as Shimura Danzo.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Nara Shikaku set up the Wood Leaf camp on the border of the Land of Fire, and gathered the four Choname Wood Leaf Ninjas together to form a tight line of defense against Yunyin's next invasion.
At the same time, Nara Shikaku also reported the situation of the battle to the Wood Leaf leaders, and at the same time sent a request for help from Wood Leaf.
Yunyin lost nearly three Choname Ninjas this time, and obviously won't give up, and the next counterattack may come at any time. With only 4,000 Konoha Ninjas in the front line, it's obviously not enough to deal with the full attack of the Cloud.
Wood, Hokage's office.
After receiving the news of the victory on the front line, Wood Leaf leaders should have celebrated, and at the same time issued a reward to the front line ninjas. But at this time, the atmosphere in the Hokage's office was extremely depressing, and the 3rd looked at the battle report in his hand for a long time without saying anything.
In the report, Nara Shikaku wrote that he found that the Cloud Ninjas didn't attack for a long time, and guessed that they might be waiting for a thunderstorm, which would greatly increase the destructive power of Lightning Release.
So after Nara Shikaku, Dynasty Choname, Hyuga Hizashi, and other frontline ninjas discussed, they decided to take the initiative to attack and catch the Cloud Ninjas off guard.
In the meeting, Dynasty Choname proposed to attack Yunyin's camp by himself, and after disrupting the defense of the Cloud, the Wood Leaf Ninjas would attack.
In this battle, Dynasty Choname killed nearly two Choname Cloud Ninjas by himself, and then Nara Shikaku led the Wood Leaf Ninjas to besiege Yunyin's camp, and after paying the price of less than 100 casualties, they wiped out 3,000 Cloud Ninjas on the front line.
This ratio of casualties and results is enough to call it a great victory, and it's a classic battle that can be written in textbooks. However, the result of Dynasty Choname killing nearly 2,000 Cloud Ninjas by himself still deeply stung the 3rd's eyes.
Unknowingly, the little guy has grown to this point?
The 3rd rubbed his temples, and only felt a headache.
Although the temporary change of the battle plan is very suspicious, the specific content of the whole matter is only known by Chiaki Asami, the Hyuga Clan, and Shikaku Nara, but they obviously won't tell the truth to Sandaime Hokage.
From the information from several spies, they also don't know anything about this matter.
For Dynasty Choname, the 3rd originally valued him very much. But when he learned that Dynasty Choname used Orochi Maru as a bargaining chip to exchange power with Orochi Maru, he re-evaluated Dynasty Choname.
If everything Dynasty Choname did before was just an act, then this person is too terrible. At such a young age, he already has such a deep mind, and has an inexplicable thirst for power, if such a person can't control himself well, he will definitely be the next Uchiha Madara.
But now, the 3rd found that Dynasty Choname has long been out of his control.
Powerful strength, deep scheming, and prestige among ordinary ninjas is no less than his own. Even now, Sandaime still can't guess what the purpose of Chao Yi Senmei is.
The 3rd can already imagine what kind of prestige Dynasty Choname will have when this news spread in the village. If it wasn't for his young age, I'm afraid some people would have already called for Dynasty Choname to succeed the 5th Hokage.
But the 3rd swore that he will never give the village to such a person who is completely unpredictable and has dangerous ideas.
The current plan is to find someone among the younger generation of the village who has both talent and inherited the will of fire as soon as possible. As long as this person's achievements are not inferior to Chōi Senmei, the Third Hokage can rely on his prestige to entrust the village to this person and exclude Chōi Senmei from the list of Hokage candidates.
Kakashi Hatake!
As the son of Wood Leaf White Fang and the disciple of Po Shui Mun, the 3rd paid more attention to Kakashi than to Dynasty Choname. If it wasn't for Dynasty Choname defeating Kakashi, the 3rd really wouldn't have noticed that there is a genius in the village who is not inferior to Kakashi.
It's just that the tragic memory of his childhood and the experience of losing his comrades in the 3rd World War made Kakashi unable to recover several times. But recently, he heard that Kakashi seems to have picked himself up again, and is practicing very hard.
With Kakashi's talent, coupled with the Uchiha's Sharingan, and with the guidance of a famous teacher, his future achievements may not be inferior to Dynasty Choname.
However, for Kakashi's loyalty, the Sandaime still needs to consider it. After all, the death of Wood Leaf White Fang, the village has an unshirkable responsibility.
A test for Kakashi Hatake was brewing in the mind of the 3rd.
If Kakashi can pass the test, the 3rd intends to introduce Kakashi to the Anbu department, so that Kakashi can get practice and make connections in the Anbu department. If the development is good, after a few years, he will be transferred to the Anbu department and directly become an elite Jonin, and then perform several important tasks. The village will publicize it, and Kakashi will gain enough prestige.
At the same time, the 3rd began to secretly plan how to reduce Dynasty Choname's influence in the village.
