Three days later.
The Land of Fire, Wood Leaf.
The Hyuga Clan.
Patriarch Bowen looked at the information in his hand with a gloomy face.
This information came from a small branch in the southeast coast.
Three days ago, they lost contact with Hyuga Kuku. Two days ago, seven more people lost contact. Yesterday, the number of missing people reached 36 …
After reading the information, Bowen realized that the situation wasn't good, he was about to go to his father to discuss this matter, but he didn't expect the Anbu to suddenly appear!
Bowen had to go to Naruto's building, and when he arrived at Sarutobi's office, he found out that the Uchiha Clan's patriarch Uchiha Tian was also there.
In addition, there were three advisors: Danzō Shimura, Utatane Utatane, and Homura Mitokado.
The atmosphere in the office was a bit depressing.
Sarutobi was smoking his pipe, and his expression was uncertain.
"Everyone is here." Uchiha Tian lowered his eyes and said: "Let's make it clear in advance, this is not a small matter, Sandaime, what is the village planning to do?"
"Uchiha Tian, defend the coastal area and deter the Mist, this is the task that the village gave to the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan!"
Utatane Utatane said with a black face: "So this sentence should be the village's question, now that the Mist is attacking, what are you two going to do?!"
Uchiha Tian's expression didn't change, he slightly looked at Bowen.
Bowen murmured, "Hokage-sama, three advisors, I have just received information that 36 members of the Hyuga Clan have gone missing, but the strange thing is that there is no mention of the Mist Ninjas, so I conclude that … this time the Mist Ninjas are definitely going to launch a large-scale attack, and there must be a very difficult Ninja among them! How can we resist with just our two clans? "
"It's very difficult for the village to transfer more ninjas, you two should know this."
Danzō said, "The war with the Sand won't end in a short time, and we can't transfer ninjas from the defense line of the Rock and Cloud, so I ask the two Patriarchs to understand our difficulties."
"Recently, a large number of scattered Mist Shinobis lurking in various places to create chaos. In order to deal with these guys, the village sent a lot of ninjas …"
Bowen Hyuga spoke slowly, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Most of these ninjas are Chunin and Genin. They shouldn't be of any help to your two clans, right?"
Danzō narrowed his eyes and suddenly turned to Sarutobi and smiled: "But since you asked, I don't think Sandaime will refuse, right?"
"Sure, I can give these people to your two clans."
Sarutobi put down his pipe and said slowly: "And the village will do its best to guarantee your logistics and supplies, it will absolutely not affect the front line!"
"I'm relieved." Bowen nodded slowly.
"Then, do you have any other requests? The Uchiha Patriarch! " Mitokado sat still, but his eyes were squinting at Uchiha Tennō: "Please mention it!"
Uchiha Tennō's expressionless face suddenly showed a faint smile, he said softly but firmly: "No, the Uchiha Clan doesn't have any requests!"
Sarutobi, Utatane, and Mitokado's face changed slightly.
Danzō slowly showed a smile on his face.
No requests, that's the biggest request!
When this war is over, the Uchiha Clan will rely on their achievements on the battlefield to seek more power, what will Sarutobi do?
If he stops them, there will be a huge backlash.
For example, public opinion!
All the civilians in the village would think that the Uchiha Clan didn't ask for anything, sacrificing so many of their clansmen to protect the village, and as a result, they only asked for a little bit of power and the right to speak. Yet, the Hokage was in a hurry to stop them, reject them, and guard against them.
But if he doesn't stop them, it's not Sarutobi's character.
However, all of this is after the war, the most urgent thing now is to resist the Mist Ninjas!
"Then, the Mist Ninjas are in your hands!"
Sarutobi took a deep breath and said: "Please be sure to protect this country and this village!"
Bowen and Uchiha Tennō solemnly nodded and then left Naruto's building.
"Sarutobi, I have seen the ambition of the Uchiha Clan, you have to be careful about this matter!"
Koharu left behind a few words and left with Homura.
As for Danzō, he was sitting with a smile on his face, he stood up, shook his head and sighed.
Sarutobi stared at Danzō's back with a smile on his face.
… …
Soon, only Sarutobi was left in the huge office.
He was sitting behind his desk, the smoke was filling the air, and thoughts were flying in his mind.
He wasn't thinking about how to deal with the situation of the Shinobi world, but he was thinking about the situation that the Wood Leaf Clan will face after the war!
The Hyuga Clan doesn't have the cohesion to compete for Naruto's position!
Uchiha Tennō is old, and if he guessed correctly, Uchiha Tomiyama should be his successor, and also a candidate to compete for the position of the Fourth Hokage Naruto … right?
Danzō, his childhood friend, has always been coveting the position of Naruto, but with his shrewdness, it's most likely that he will push someone to compete for Naruto's position. That person … Who is it?
Sarutobi slowly put down his pipe: It seems that I have to choose a successor!
Tsunade?
The descendant of the first Hokage, whether it's reputation, prestige, or strength, she's qualified to be the Fourth Hokage!
Unfortunately, she's a gambler … I can't afford it.
Jiraiya?
Sarutobi suddenly had a headache.
This guy is actually good, but in terms of personality … Sarutobi imagined Jiraiya wearing the Fourth Naruto's robe, hiding in the women's bathhouse, standing on tiptoe, peeping at women taking a bath, and he felt like he was going blind.
I can't afford it.
Orochi Maru …
Sarutobi nodded with satisfaction.
Among the Sannin, the one he likes the most is Orochi Maru, he's strong enough to suppress the noble clans, he's calm and persistent, and he loves his companions and the village, plus he's a civilian, he doesn't have any complicated interests behind him, he's the best successor!
The most important thing is that Orochi Maru was personally taught by Sarutobi, he has definitely understood and inherited the will of fire from his ancestors!
The more Sarutobi thought about it, the more satisfied he was, he couldn't wait to let Orochi Maru inherit the position of the Fourth Naruto. But at this time, Jiraiya's voice suddenly came from outside the office.
Sarutobi frowned and called him in with dissatisfaction.
When the door opened, he found out that Po Shui Mun was also with him.
"Jiraiya, Minato, why are you here together?" Sarutobi got up and opened the window, letting the fresh air blow away the choking smoke in the room.
"This time, I'm here for the notes left by the Second Hokage!"
Jiraiya said proudly, "Old man, don't talk nonsense, give me all the notes left by the Second Hokage."
Sarutobi glanced at Jiraiya, then his eyes fell on Po Shui Mun.
"Minato, didn't you already master the Flying Thunder God, why are you still …"
Speaking of this, Sarutobi's pupils shrank, "Are you … planning to …"
Develop the Flying Thunder God further?!
Others can't learn the Flying Thunder God even if you give them a hundred years, but you want to develop it further?
