Naruto the Genius

Chapter 101 Tsunade’s helplessness

There was a focal point of the debate. Jiraiya had been sent to fight the war with Iwagakure, so who should Kirigakure send this time? As the Hokage, Tsunade could not easily leave Konoha, but others might not be able to do the job. This reminded Tsunade of Orochimaru. If that hadn't happened, she wouldn't be bothered by such a thing today. But things had already happened, so she could only face reality.

Konoha has many elite ninjas. Some people recommend this one, and some people recommend that one. Not to mention the daimyo, even Tsunade feels a bit of a headache. Danzo, who had been silent all this time, stood up and said, "I will personally take charge this time. In the current situation, apart from the Hokage, I am afraid there is no one more suitable to take on this task than me." The others really had nothing to say about Danzo's words. Tsunade also frowned. If we only talk about ability, Danzo is indeed the most suitable, but
Everyone was silent for a while, and Danzo continued: "I am the root of Konoha. Although I have always grown up in the dark, we all have the same heart to protect Konoha. For the Fire Country and Konoha, I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life." These words are indeed Danzo's true feelings. Although he is a tough fighter, facing such a war, no matter what, there is only one choice - fight. Although Tsunade was not very happy, she finally agreed reluctantly, and Danzo successfully became the leader to stop the invasion of Kirigakure.

As a representative of the fighting faction, Danzo is not only very strong himself, but also has many excellent subordinates. Tsunade appointed some ninjas to go with Danzo, and together with some of Danzo's subordinates, they formed a team. Under the leadership of Danzo, these people quickly rushed to the border of the Land of Fire, which was exactly where Naruto came last time. Danzo's methods have always been more extreme. Without waiting for the Kirigakure to take action, Danzo was ready to ambush others halfway.

The Kirigakure army was rushing to the Land of Fire. This time, there were many elite ninjas, including the two people Naruto met last time. After careful planning, Danzo set up an ambush at the place where Kirigakure must pass. As soon as Kirigakure entered the ambush range, Danzo ordered the entire army to attack. Because they were on the water, Danzo selected ninjas who were good at water escape techniques, and they worked together to perform a large-scale water escape technique.

Kirigakure didn't expect Konoha to get the news in advance, and they didn't expect Konoha to change their usual behavior and take the initiative to attack before they arrived. Even their sensory ninjas were resting, preparing to give a thundering blow when they approached the Land of Fire. At this time, they were suddenly attacked and immediately fell into a passive position. The front ship was directly washed into pieces, and all the ninjas on it were bathing in the sea. Before they could react, various ninjutsu attacks came in batches, and the Kirigakure with weaker strength who fell into the water were basically in danger.

In this way, Danzo had an absolute upper hand. Suddenly, a huge wave unprecedented in history surged towards Konoha, as terrifying as if the entire ocean was pressing down on it. Faintly, Danzo saw a woman's figure through his Sharingan. It was the fifth generation Mizukage, Mei Terumi. Danzo was shocked. He didn't expect that the Mizukage would lead this operation of Kirigakure personally. Seeing this situation, Danzo had already made up his mind.

In addition to Mei Terumi's powerful water escape technique, the rest of the Kirigakure also began to move, with various water escape techniques emerging one after another. After all, they were on the sea, and Kirigakure had a great geographical advantage. In addition, they were out in full force this time, so they still had an advantage in terms of strength. Danzo immediately used the Mangekyō Sharingan, and Mei Terumi's water escape technique suddenly stopped. Seeing that something was wrong, Ao immediately observed her situation with his Byakugan. Danzo seized the opportunity and immediately asked the Konoha ninjas to stop the earth escape technique and resist the Kirigakure's water escape technique, and at the same time ordered the Konoha ninjas to retreat in an orderly manner.

Although Qing quickly solved the illusion of Mei Terumi, it took some time, which was a long time for a ninja. The ninjas of Konoha withdrew in an instant, leaving only the wreckage of the ship and the bodies of the Kirigakure. Mei Terumi said: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know that I was under an illusion." Qing said: "Lord Mizukage, you don't have to be polite. I didn't expect that it was Uchiha Shisui's eyes, otherwise he wouldn't let them go like this."

Mei Terumi sighed, "I didn't expect Konoha to send him this time. Danzo, known as the "Dark Ninja", has always been rejected by Konoha's Hokage. Sending him here was completely unexpected. If we had prepared in advance, we wouldn't have fallen into such a situation." Many of the surrounding Kirigakure lowered their heads after hearing what Mei Terumi said. They also relaxed their vigilance. After suffering this loss, Kirigakure became cautious, so it would be difficult for Konoha to gain a tactical advantage.

Danzo led the Konoha ninjas to evacuate quickly, and Kirigakure did not have time to pursue them. Although this time they did not achieve the ideal small country, Konoha did not lose a single person, which was objectively considered a great victory. Danzo did not pay attention to the praises of those around him, and he also felt a huge pressure. Putting aside the extreme means, Danzo was also a qualified leader, and at this time he clearly knew his situation.

Yes, this time Konoha can be said to have taken advantage, launching a thundering attack when Kirigakure was completely unprepared. However, when Kirigakure recovered, it was immediately at a disadvantage, and it was lucky to be able to escape unscathed. Danzo thought in his heart that he still brought too few people this time. The enemy's number was one-third higher than his side, and the number of elites was not enough. Many elites had already been sent to the battlefield over there, and Konoha had to retain some personnel for defense, so the number of people that could be sent to Danzo was already very limited.

Danzo and Konoha stationed around the coastline, keeping a distance from the sea, which not only prevented Kirigakure from taking advantage of the geographical situation, but also served as a defensive force. Looking at the high trenches built by Konoha using earth escape techniques, Kirigakure, who had suffered a loss once, did not dare to approach for a while. Knowing that they were weaker, Danzo did not attack easily, and the two sides remained at a stalemate on the border.

Tsunade was sitting in the Hokage's office, with reports from the battles coming in. Although there was no news of defeat, the long-term inability to resolve the battle put Konoha in crisis. It can be said that there were only a few ninjas left in Konoha. If the Land of Lightning took action at this time, Konoha would most likely be captured. Therefore, Konoha must quickly resolve the battle between the two sides, otherwise it will be in danger sooner or later.
