Mixed in the Hokage cultivation road

Chapter 197: Konoha is intimidated
All of Konoha's elites looked grim. After all, the Kage of their own village was killed in front of them, which was really too embarrassing.

However, these people also have their own ideas, and they are very good at pretending. Many people are actually quite happy that Sarutobi Hiruzen is dead.

Especially Danzo who came later, he was already planning in his mind how to take over as the Fourth Hokage.

Although they all seemed extremely angry, they quickly organized a Jonin Council to discuss whether to continue the attack on the Ninja Village.

Gong Zhi Rizhang only gave them one hour to discuss the matter. To make such a big decision, the time was still very tight.

It would certainly be difficult to unify everyone's opinions. Although they all looked very angry just now, few of them would have the courage to fight Gong Zhi Rizhang.

The Sandaime is already dead, who would risk their life for a dead person, let alone a Kage who made the major ninja clans betray their own people.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did a lot of dirty things in secret.

He forced Hatake Sakumo to death and almost sold out Senju Nawaki, so he asked the major ninja clans to provide him with talents to form the Shadow Guard.

All the clan members who joined his Shadow Guard were trained to only see the Hokage and not the family's traitors.

He also seeks the greatest benefits for the Sarutobi clan, seizes business in peacetime, and is responsible for purchasing equipment and transporting supplies in times of war.

After the Third World War began, not many people from the Sarutobi clan died, but they made a lot of money and became extremely rich.

So when Sarutobi Hiruzen died, except for his diehard fans who clamored to avenge him, no one from the other major ninja clans or elite ninjas stood up for him.

In a mansion near the Konoha Hokage Building, all the core members of Konoha gathered here to discuss how to deal with the aggressive Ninja Village next.

No matter whether what the Ninja Village said is true or not, their current behavior has already made Konoha lose face.

If nothing is done, once this matter gets out, Konoha's reputation will be ruined and it will definitely become a laughing stock in the ninja world.

In front of everyone, he directly killed the shadow of the village and gave them an ultimatum in a dignified manner.

They simply don't take Konoha seriously at all! When has Konoha ever been slapped in the face like this?

Therefore, many elite ninjas and a few family chiefs did not agree to bow to the Ninja Village.

Among them is the Hyuga clan’s patriarch, Hyuga Hiko.

He was unwilling to bow to the power created by Hinata Shin. The honor of the Hyuga clan would not allow him to do so.

The always radical Uchiha clan and the trinity of the Ino, Shika and Chou clans did not make any statement.

Just as everyone was chattering and arguing, Jiraiya came back.

He was called back by his disciple Minato Namikaze, but was delayed for a while in Myoboku Mountain and came back a little late.

He didn't expect that the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen would have died in such a short time!

He was killed by Miyatoki Hizo in front of many ninjas, which made Jiraiya very angry!
The shadow of their own village was killed, but instead of thinking about revenge, these high-ranking officials were discussing whether to make war or peace with the Ninja Village.

And looking at their numbers, although the number of people who want to make peace is relatively small, there are still half of them who cannot be forgiven and must be fought.

Jiraiya's return once again boosted the morale of the ninjas who were already inclined towards fighting.

The situation was slowly moving towards war, which made some smart people worried.

This group of fierce fighters, are their brains broken? Have they forgotten about Gong Zhi Rizo setting off firecrackers?
For the survival of Konoha and his own dream, the one-armed Danzo Shimura stood up to oppose the war with the Ninja Village.

He also gave reasonable reasons, which calmed down the hot-headed elite ninjas.

"Don't forget that the purpose of the Ming Ninja Village, Gong Zhi Hizo, is to completely destroy Konoha Village."

"This time he brought a practitioner and a sorcerer with him, and he is also proficient in space ninjutsu, so he can come and go freely." "Even the space restriction barrier developed by the second generation and owned by Konoha cannot restrict him."

"It can be said that he can release forbidden techniques at any time and anywhere in Konoha and wipe out Konoha!"

"I know you want to avenge the Sandaime, and so do I. But he's already dead! We need to consider the entire Konoha."

Shimura Danzo had a calm expression and spoke in a low voice, as if he was also very depressed.

"I support Danzo's opinion. Hiruzen's revenge can be postponed for a while. Saving the village is the most important thing."

Mito Kadohiko was the first to express his support for Danzo.

"Me too! Konoha belongs to everyone. We can't drag Konoha into the abyss just because of Hiruzen's death!" Utane Koharu also supported.

Akimichi Norifu took one look at Nara Shikasato and knew which opinion he would support.

"I also support putting aside Hiruzen's hatred for the time being and giving priority to preserving the village's vitality."

"Now I am at the mercy of others and I can only bow my head temporarily and wait for a solution to be found later."

After receiving a hint from Nara Shikasato, Akimichi Tofu quickly came to a conclusion on the matter.

This made those ninjas who were trying to start a war for revenge suddenly confused, as they had the advantage just now.

Suddenly the wind changed, because the four elders who had not expressed their stance all defected to the enemy.

And that's not all. The Uchiha clan, the Ino-Shika-Cho clan, and the Aburame clan all supported the suggestion of temporarily bowing to the Ninja Village.

In order to change everyone's mindset, Nara Shikasato spoke up.

"Many of us have witnessed the massive firecrackers that Miyaji Hizō set off. If it had been set in Konoha, most of the village would have been destroyed."

"The key is that it is not certain that the forbidden technique will be released at full power. Once it is released at full power, Konoha will probably be completely wiped out. At that time, Konoha will definitely suffer heavy losses!"

"The one that Konoha really protects is neither the Hokage nor the Daimyo, but every ninja and every ordinary person in the village."

"For the sake of the village's survival and to protect the real jade, it is not shameful to bow down temporarily!"

"After all, we are currently at a disadvantage. Only if we protect our own strength can we be qualified to discuss revenge."

"That's enough. Think about it for a while. Let's vote by raising our hands. We don't have much time. We can't risk the whole village!"

Nara Shikacong's words deeply touched all the elite ninjas present. They knew that Nara Shikacong was right, but they just couldn't accept it in their hearts.

After all, they were once the largest ninja village in the ninja world, dominating the entire ninja world. Now the Hokage was killed in front of him, but he still had to bow to the enemy. It would be strange if he felt good about it.

The Nara clan has always been the think tank of Konoha, and their judgment is rarely wrong. Many small ninja clans and some elite ninjas received guidance in an instant and were immediately ready to change their positions.

"Then let's vote by raising our hands now. I'm sure everyone has made a decision in their hearts."

"Those who agree to temporarily surrender to the Ninja Village and preserve Konoha's manpower should raise their hands first."

Danzo Shimura was very good at seizing opportunities to show himself, and he immediately spoke to direct the situation.

Swish, swish, swish, a large number of elite ninjas and ninja clan leaders and elders raised their hands, and the number of those who agreed had exceeded 80%.

It seems that everyone understands the seriousness of the current situation.
