Chapter 71: Coach (please read and recommend)
What on earth is a ninja?
Sitting in the conference room, the superior was waiting for the jonins to gather. Sarutobi Hiruzen subconsciously picked up the pipe on the table, took out the lighter, lit the tobacco, put it in his mouth and took a deep breath.
Perhaps because the heir died in just one year, his wife died, and his most beloved disciple defected, Sarutobi Hiruzen has always been a bit sentimental recently.
Teacher Tobirama said that a ninja is a person with a knife in his heart, which means that a ninja must be ruthless and suppress his emotions; Jiraiya believes that a ninja is a person who must endure everything, and Orochimaru believes that a ninja is a person who can use ninjutsu... ....
Regarding the understanding of ninjas, everyone seems to have a point.
In Sarutobi Hiruzen's view, ninjas are actually "people", with joy, anger, sorrow, birth, old age, sickness and death...
This is also the reason why he has always been slightly resistant to Uchiha deep in his heart:
Uchiha's emotions are too passionate, their thinking is too weird, and their Sharingan is different from ordinary people - Uchiha is a bit unlike human beings!
"It seems that both the first generation and the second generation died around my age, right?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment. His old face showed a mix of exhaustion and sadness, and the emotions in his heart were a little subtle.
—— Bang! —— Bang!
There was a strange creaking sound from the conference room door.
The sudden movement interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen's reverie.
He knew without looking back that the only Uchihas with high eyesight would enter the conference room like this - other jounin entered the room silently and closed the door casually.
"Clan Chief Yuan, you are here, sit down quickly!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded towards the energetic Uchiha source and showed a gentle and kind smile.
This smile is much more sincere than his usual polite fake smile.
On weekdays, the top management of Konoha, who have 'freckle phobia' and 'paranoia of being persecuted by Uchiha', spare no effort to restrict and suppress Uchiha.
But when it comes to a crisis, Hiruzen Sarutobi still knows who can fight better.
"Sorry, I'm a little late!"
Seeing that there were already nearly a hundred people sitting in the conference room, Uchiha Yuan smiled apologetically and took more than 20 people behind him to occupy a corner of the conference room.
Don't look at the fact that during the fourth war in the late ninja world, "there are as many kage levels as dogs, but the genin are the gods", the jounin doesn't even deserve a name.
The jounin of the five major ninja villages are actually close to the top of the pyramid of the ninja world——
——The total number of jounin in the five major villages is about a thousand. If you pick one at random and place it in a small ninja village or small organization, you can be the leader.
Uchiha arrived relatively late, and another twenty or thirty people came here and there, for a total of more than one hundred and fifty people, which was basically all the Jonin in Konoha except for the northern battlefield.
This also shows the strength of Uchiha:
Even under various restrictions imposed by the top management, the number of Uchiha's jounin still accounts for more than one-tenth of the number of jounin in Konoha.
And as we all know, 'one on one, one must escape', Uchiha's jounin requires at least two jounin to resist.
"But, the current situation has to reuse Uchiha Gen!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart.
The ninja world is a world where personal force can affect the success or failure of a war. The commander of an army must be a top master, or be commanded by Dodai like Kumogakure and lead the jinchuriki.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also wanted his son Sarutobi Shinnosuke to lead the army.
But if he dared to let Shinnosuke lead the army to resist Iwagakure, then Onoki would dare to play the trick of "Yong Noki flew to rob the camp and persuaded Sarutobi to escape with his life." '
Minato and his wife died, Orochimaru and Danzo defected.
Tsunade is traveling in the ninja world, and only a few people in Konoha know that she is now suffering from hemophobia and cannot fight with others at all.
When Mito Monobu was at his peak ten years ago, he could still be considered a 'kage-level goalkeeper' and could compete with the top players at four or six, but now he is no longer useful.
Nowadays, the only masters that Konoha can produce are Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya and Uchiha Gen who has turned on the kaleidoscope.
I have to use it!
But at least Uchiha Source cannot be allowed to lead an entire front alone.
Sarutobi Hiruzen cheered up, his eyes became sharp, he picked up the information on the table and said loudly:
"Iwagakure is gathering troops to go south, and Kumogakure is also showing signs of increasing his troops. War...is coming again!
Konoha longs for peace, but our determination to defend our home, the village and our companions is no less determined than anyone else..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen gave a speech on the stage, and all the jounin in the audience also looked solemn and gloomy - except for the Uchihas who were playing in the corner, who looked excited and eager to try.
He was happy after hearing the battle, he was indeed very Uchiha!
The corners of Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth twitched uncontrollably, he sped up his inspiring speech, then stood up and began to arrange tasks.
"On the northern battlefield, we plan to add three thousand troops to defend the border between the Kingdom of Yu and the Kingdom of Fire to support the retreating Jiraiya tribe."
Yes, that's right!
Although the battle on the northern front was lost and Konoha's army retreated hundreds of miles, what was lost was the territory of Yuno Country. The Jiraiya tribe was only driven from the central Yuno Country to the southern part of Yuno Country by Kumogakure.
As for why Kumogakure's invasion of Yuno Country is called "attacking Konoha", and why Konoha launched a "homeland defense war" and "self-defense counterattack" on the territory of Yuno Country...
Fighting in one's own country will cost too much money and affect people's lives. Isn't it just to keep these small countries as battlefields and strategic buffers?
"The squadron leaders of each support force are served by thirty jounin. The specific list is as follows:
Nara Salt Water, Uchiha Yashiro, Uchiha Inari, Hyuga Iroha, Uchiha..."
Listening and listening, all the jounin reacted.
There were thirty Jonin in the support force, and more than a dozen Uchiha were ordered. This was obviously to let Uchiha lead the support force this time.
Then, the leader of this support unit should be Uchiha Gen.
Nara Shikaku, the Jonin squad leader sitting in the first row, frowned slightly and scratched his pineapple head.
Send Uchiha Gento to the Northern Front... Then, the Sandaime, do you want to?
"The supreme commander of the support force is served by the Minister of Police, Uchiha Gen!"
Sure enough, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and handed the letter of appointment that he had prepared to Yuan Uchiha, which also meant that he gave full power to support the troops in the war to Yuan Uchiha.
"Source, we must win this battle! Konoha must win!"
Uchiha Yuan accepted the appointment letter without any hesitation, with a bright smile on his face, showing his extreme confidence.
Confidence is contagious!
For a time, the somewhat depressing atmosphere in the conference room due to the war was completely gone.
If Uchiha Gennaro can fight, can these jounin who have witnessed him completely torture Nanao not know?
"it is good!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that everyone's emotions had been aroused, and he directly tore off the god's robe embroidered with auspicious clouds, revealing the black ninja uniform and ninja tool bag underneath, and said another exciting news with firm eyes. :
"Next, the Hokage's advisor, Elder Mito Kadeni, will temporarily take over as the Hokage, and I will personally lead the troops to the battlefield of the Land of Grass!
Konoha must win! "
