Naruto the Genius

Chapter 343 Shocking Decision

After dealing with the piles of documents, there are still important meetings almost every day. Although Akatsuki's plan has failed, there are still many problems. The election of a new Hokage is also largely to deal with these things, especially in external issues. Tsunade's usual style, especially letting go of the ninja sent by the Raikage to attack last time, has caused dissatisfaction among many people.

After Konoha's major events were basically settled, the question of how to deal with external affairs was once again put on the agenda. Shikaku took the document and spoke first: "First, let me explain the general situation of the entire ninja world at present."

"During the war with Akatsuki, except for the Wind Kingdom and Iron Kingdom, which were allies with us, the other big and small countries basically kept their troops on hold. Even the Raikage once sent people to attack our Wood Industry. The small countries acted independently and posed little threat to us. The most important ones now are the Lightning Kingdom, the Earth Kingdom and the Water Kingdom. They had formed an alliance before this and have been closely observing the situation of our Wood Industry.

The Tsuchikage has returned to the Land of Earth. According to our intelligence, he is actively deploying, as if preparing for a major operation. At the same time, the Mizukage has also returned to the Land of Water. Because they are almost isolated from the outside world, we have no information about them. However, it is very likely that he will do the same as the Tsuchikage, and the same is true for the Raikage. "

After explaining the general situation, Shikamaru couldn't help but sigh, and then continued: "Although they are very likely to be worried about our Konoha's revenge, we must also be vigilant. Because it is not ruled out that they will attack Konoha again." A minister of the Land of Fire said: "If this is the case, we should also deploy immediately to prevent them from launching a surprise attack." According to the previous routine, most people agreed with his point of view, which was nothing more than fighting back. After everyone discussed it, they all focused their attention on Naruto. Now Naruto is the Hokage and the Daimyo, and everything needs Naruto's approval.

After everyone quieted down and paused for a while, Naruto said, "Everyone seems to have forgotten why they have attacked Konoha again and again, from the previous Ninja World Wars to the present. Conflicts between countries, including our Konoha, have never stopped. The reason for this is that we have our own interests and different positions. As long as this fundamental point does not change, the war will continue!"

In such a quiet occasion, with Naruto's status, everyone was listening attentively and looking forward to what Naruto would say next. The reason why Naruto paused was to give everyone room to think. After waiting for a while, Naruto continued: "We in Konoha, from the first Hokage to the third Hokage, as well as the fourth and fifth Hokage, have adopted benevolent methods. This is nothing more than for the peace of the ninja world, hoping that the entire ninja world can have less war and hatred. However, when the fundamental problem is not solved, the effect of doing so is very limited. If you want to change the current situation in the ninja world and achieve true peace, there is only one way to go. That is to achieve the unification of the entire ninja world!"

In the end, Naruto raised his voice on purpose. This target, which was almost forgotten before, is now spoken by Naruto, and many people have already been infected on the spot.However, some people expressed concern. One of Konoha's ninja captains said: "But, Naruto-sama, do we really have the strength to unify the ninja world? Besides, won't we provoke a bigger war by then?"

Naruto said: "First of all, the current strength of our Muye has surpassed all the ninja villages. Moreover, they are far behind us. I am afraid that even if they unite together, they are still not our opponents. In terms of personal strength, I am close to the legendary Six Paths Sage. In terms of overall strength, the previous Ninja World Wars have already demonstrated it very well. Moreover, in the previous wars, their strength has been greatly weakened. On the contrary, our Muye has grown a lot in strength during the wars. Now is the best time to unify the ninja world!"

Men Yan had never been so excited as he was now. They had always wanted to take a tough attitude. But at that time, they were suppressed by Tsunade and others, and his ideas could not be implemented. What he could not imagine was that Naruto, who had always stood on the side of Tsunade, would now take an active and tough policy against the outside world. As if he was afraid that Naruto would go back on his word, Men Yan immediately said: "I fully agree with the decision of the Hokage-sama. This is indeed the best opportunity for Konoha. Moreover, it seems that we have no choice. If we do not take the initiative, they may attack Konoha again in the end!"

When Men Yan said this, Xiaochun, who was with him, immediately agreed: "Judging from the actions of the Land of Lightning, the Land of Water, and the Land of Earth, if we want to resolve Konoha's crisis, taking the initiative should be the best way. In other words, even if the attack fails, we still have room for defense. If we remain passive, it will probably be even more disadvantageous to us."

As for Koharu and the others, it seemed that Shikaku always disagreed with them. He frowned and said, "It's not that serious. With the current strength of the Hokage and the many elites in Konoha, even if they all unite, we are still able to deal with them. If we take the initiative, we will only pay some price at most. With our strength, we can definitely win." Shikaku said this, which meant that he also agreed to take the initiative, but his reason was completely different from Koharu's. Frankly speaking, Naruto didn't like Koharu and Menyan either. But they didn't have much real power now, and sometimes they could have different opinions. Naruto was not so narrow-minded.

After a discussion, Naruto's confident argument, and Naruto's own strong strength, gradually, even those who didn't have much confidence before began to believe that they would win 100% this time. Compared with the possible risks, the key point is to solve the problem once and for all. If the entire ninja world is really unified, their status will rise accordingly, and they will naturally support Naruto.

Shikaku, the Fourth Hokage, Tsunade and others finally agreed, but they didn't seem very happy. Like many ninjas in Konoha, they were influenced by the thinking of the First Hokage for a long time and always believed that war would only bring pain to the people. Naruto also knew that they were probably worried about other countries. During the attack of Konoha, a large number of people might die.
