When the Sandaime-sama made the decision to go to war, everything was already concluded.

As for the urgent message conveyed on the blood-stained note, no one took the initiative to ask.

Because, just by looking at Lord Hokage's livid face, one can already tell a lot, and this is definitely not good news.

As for the two advisors, they only had dark faces at the moment, sitting in their seats and practicing silent meditation.

Even with the recent message, I had no desire to pry into it.

"..., that's about the transfer of personnel from all ethnic groups for the time being."

After putting down his cigarette, Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly regained his former majesty and sophistication. One set of arrangements and one set of dispatches were completely smooth, without any sense of delay.

Such a view of the overall situation and such control also made all the family heads and jounin feel trembling, as if they had seen the 'ninja hero' who once dominated the five countries!

Even Shimura Danzo, who had always wanted to replace him, couldn't help but show a hint of admiration with his eyes trembling slightly when facing his old friend who criticized Fang Qiu like this.

However, he also received an unexpected reward today: praise and recognition from many family heads and jounin.

This is really a scene that has never happened before.

At the same time, through this incident, he also became certain of one thing again:

If you want to rise to the top and replace Hiruzen, apart from the necessary qualifications, iron-blooded skills, and the support or non-objection of the family heads, the most important thing is the time!

It must be in a war period, not a peaceful era!

Otherwise, I will always become the darkness hiding under Konoha!!

As for the resentment and dissatisfaction of the other two old friends.

Ah.

I don't even care about Hiruzen's attitude, why would I still care about them?

Of course, you should also give a symbolic apology afterwards.

After all, it might be useful in the future.

"Secondly, Hatake Kakashi!"

After stabilizing the overall situation, Sarutobi Hiruzen once again dispatched the personnel in the starting field. These are the elites of Konoha. As long as they can be used well, they are all experts who can equal ten.

"exist."

Although some of Uchiha Ara's remarks made him a little out of shape at the moment, when the task came, he showed an unambiguous serious attitude.

"I will write a letter later and ask you to send it to Iwagakure Village and deliver it to Onoki-dono personally."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice.

When resisting the enemy, the other two big countries also need to be stable. Even if they still have some contact with the two 'shadows' in the near future, they still have to guard against it.

Hatake Kakashi was asked to go to the relatively troublesome Iwagakure Village because, despite his considerable strength, he also had a smart mind that was not weaker than that of the Nara clan.

Good at adapting to circumstances.

As for the information about the ability of Akatsuki organization member "Black and White Aloe", he wanted to stabilize Onoki and stabilize Iwagakure Village.

"yes!"

Kakashi's words are concise.

"Um."

After receiving the response, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly, and then his eyes fell on the thick-browed ninja sitting next to Kakashi.

"Metkay!"

He called out in a deep voice.

"Lord Hokage, please give me your orders!"

After being named, Matt Kaixuan raised his eyebrows and stood up excitedly, his pair of black pupils showing urgency.

"Similar to Kakashi's mission, I will write a letter to Mr. Rasa of Sunagakure Village later, and you will deliver it."

The choice of Sunagakure Village to send Kai to was also made after careful consideration by him.

Because, on the surface, Sunagakure Village and Konoha still have an alliance.

Although, I really don't expect that guy Luo Sha to uphold the offensive and defensive alliance stipulated in the treaty and help each other.

But you also have to be careful.

The purpose of sending Kai, who has good strength and a gentle mind, is to maintain the superficial treaty while also conveying a message to the other party: 'Konoha does not need to send all the strong men to the front line to be able to deal with the threat from Kirigakure Village.

!'

"But, Hokage-sama!"

"I want to go to the eastern border, I want to avenge my comrades who died in the war!!"

"Please let me go to the border!!"

"I will definitely make those bastards in Kirigakure Village regret their decision to set foot in the Land of Fire!"

After hearing this order, Metkai's expression suddenly changed, his hands clenched into fists, and cage-like veins spread on his arms!

This was not just a moment of anger or passion on his part.

It's because he personally has some irresolvable personal grudges with Kirigakure.

In the Third Ninja War, his father died in a duel with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen just to save himself.

But when the enemy was approaching, Hokage-sama actually kept himself away from the battlefield, and even went to Sunagakure Village, which was contrary to the eastern border, to act as a messenger!

How can he accept this?

"Calm down, Kai!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally saw this guy's little thoughts, but he did not change his mind. Before the former wanted to say anything more, he continued to explain:

"Don't think of this mission too simply!"

With just one word, he successfully grasped Metkai's point of resistance and silenced it successfully.

The pair of hungry eyes were even more eager to hear what was going on.

"You have to know that the mission you bear is no lighter than that of your comrades on the front line!"

"The concerns of the two consultants are indeed justified. Although Sunagakure Village has signed an alliance agreement with us, we are not children. In the face of interests, such a piece of paper will be easily torn to pieces!!"

Having said this, the eagerness on Metkai's face was reduced again, as if cold water had been poured on his face.

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen also used his own methods to slightly restore the image of Koharu and En, which was also a small show of goodwill.

"Although, our thoughts are indeed based on a villain's heart and a gentleman's heart."

"But what if?"

"What if the top management of Sunagakure Village cannot withstand such temptation, and what if the daimyo of the Land of Wind orders an attack on Konoha?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "So, if something like this really happens, then everything will depend on you, Metkai!"

"It's not just the message that needs to be sent back to Konoha."

"When necessary, one person still needs to stop the thousands of troops in Shagakure Village!!"

"Can you shoulder such a heavy responsibility?"

At the end of the sentence, Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice became heavier and his eyes became extremely sharp, as if he could peer into the depths of others' hearts.

"I understand, Hokage-sama!"

Hearing this, Metkai nodded suddenly.

"As long as I am alive, it is impossible for the army of Sunagakure Village to cross the border!"

He clenched his fists and his eyes were turbulent.

"Um."

"The western border depends on you."

After saying that, the supreme leader of Konoha ordered his generals again: "Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, and Yamanaka Kaiichi."

"Hokage-sama, please give me your instructions."

Nara Shikaku, who is the brains of Ino Shika Butterfly and is also the counselor of Konoha, responded.

"This time, the three of you will be solely responsible for the war in the east. You must expel all Kirigakure ninjas who set foot!"

"Just now, the second line of defense has been broken."

"So, your task is very difficult, but it must be completed!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was cadenced.

In a low voice, he announced the news that the second line of defense had been breached, and then in a high-pitched voice, he immediately issued a death order that must be completed.

This made the depressed atmosphere not stay for too long.

And now that the news is revealed, it makes everyone more bearable.
To be continued...
