Chapter 40: Mighty Dai's Decision

Konoha 37 years.

The smoke of war finally burned.

Iwagakure and Sunagakure villages attacked at the same time, marking the complete outbreak of war.

Fortunately, there were Hatake Shoshige and Jiraiya on the front lines of both sides, and they simultaneously blocked the fierce attack of the hostile ninja village.

Two fronts were drawn.

The two villages of Konoha and Sandstone fell into a state of anxiety.

Battle reports from the front line have been coming to Konoha.

Even the atmosphere in Konoha has become much heavier, and the prices of food and ninja tools have increased significantly.

Although the front line blocked the enemy's attack.

But the impact of the war was in all aspects, and prices of various commodities showed no sign of falling at all.

The Hokage's office in Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat on his office chair, blowing smoke rings and looking at his teammates.

Danzo Shimura seemed to be recuperating with his eyes closed, and Koharu and Mito Kabuto were frowning while watching the battle report from the front line.

They are the small group of people who decide the direction of the next war.

"Iwa Ninja Village and Sand Ninja Village should have formed an alliance."

"Otherwise it would be impossible to attack at the same time."

"There hasn't been much movement in Cloud Ninja Village and Mist Ninja Village yet. This may be the only good news."

"But what should we do in the Kingdom of Rain? The village can no longer support a third battlefield."

The two of them looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi who was thinking of countermeasures at the same time.

Due to the battlefields between the two sides, especially the Iwa Ninja Village battlefield, a large number of ninjas have been invested in the village.

Because there is a road between the Three Kingdoms on the battlefield of Iwa Ninja Village, Taki Ninja Village and Kusaku Ninja Village must be guarded against.

These two forces are just outsiders. Who knows what they can do if they see Konoha's weakness.

On the other hand, the battlefield in Sand Ninja Village was better.

Kawa no Kuni did not dare to have any thoughts about Konoha, and it was located in a vast area but did not have a large population.

They only need to deal with the Sand Ninja specifically and will not be affected by other forces.

But Sand Ninja Village is not easy to deal with.

The total number of people invested in these two battlefields already accounted for 70% of the village's strength.

As for the remaining ninjas.

Konoha also needs to keep people to guard it, and at most it can squeeze out 1.5% of its strength.

The Kingdom of Rain is very critical at this time. After all, it is a country at the intersection of the three kingdoms.

Not only needing to face the Iwa Ninja Village and the Sand Ninja Village at the same time, but also the ninjas from the Land of Rain are also troublesome.

But the battlefields in the other two places cannot reduce their strength, otherwise the Sand Ninja Village and Iwa Ninja Village will march straight in.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't think of any good solution for the moment.

"What do you think, Danzo?"

He kicked the ball to Danzo Shimura.

Only then did Danzo open his eyes.

"Transferring him away from Uchiha and sending him to Suna Ninja Village is the best way."

This caused Sarutobi Hiruzen to hesitate, but he soon made a decision.

"Let's discuss this later."

Uchiha's main force is on guarding against the Mist Ninja. Although the Mist Ninja is not doing anything unusual now, it still needs to be prepared just in case.

A few people naturally understood what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking. There were many Uchiha elites, and it would be too easy for them to fight in a melee if they were allowed to go to the battlefield.

As their military exploits increased, fame would naturally follow, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was afraid that he would not be able to suppress them.

One Uchiha Jin was enough for him.

"This Uchiha Jin has a lot of military exploits, isn't he?"

Mito Kaden looked at Uchiha Jin who was far ahead in the battle report.

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his head when he heard this.

"He submitted one A-level ninjutsu and six B-level taijutsu on the front line."

This silenced several people.

Xiaochun asked with a puzzled tone after going to bed for a long time.

"Does the frontline still have time to study ninjutsu?"

"He created them all before and submitted them now."

Sarutobi Hiruzen became angry at the mention of this. This was a loophole, but it was really hard to make up for it, because Jin's ninjutsu was so effective.

If there were more of this, Konoha's strength would increase a lot.

"Hmph!" Shimura Danzo snorted coldly: "Let's talk about what to do next in the Land of Rain."

Sarutobi Hiruzen changed the topic upon hearing this.

"Then let Orochimaru lead the team to the battlefield of Rain Kingdom."

"Hiruzen, Orochimaru is not powerful enough." Danzo interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"I will lead the team in the Rain Kingdom this time."

"Danzo, you need to face the attack of the Kumo ninja."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrangement made Danzo frown. Kumogakure was still injured in the first battle.

It's hard to take the initiative.

This also disrupted Danzo's idea of ​​going to the front lines to search for talents.

"Let the immature Orochimaru lead the team, Hiruzen, you will regret it."

Danzo's face darkened.

"Danzo, I am the Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen had already come to a conclusion.

The news that Orochimaru was going to the Land of Rain to open a battlefield soon spread.

This is also a way to get the ninjas in the village to actively contribute to the village.

Matt Dai, who was helping the wealthy businessman carry goods, also learned the news from the ninja on the roadside.

"Frontline battlefield?"

Mattei was lost in thought.

One day I helped a wealthy businessman carry goods, and finally went to the mission office to settle his wages.

Looking at the two thousand taels of silver notes in his hand.

"Diapers, milk, clothes, and future ninja tools, and tuition fees."

He calculated it in detail and sighed.

He solemnly put the money in his clothes with his muddy hands.

Went to the door of a remote house.

"Xiao Kai, you must grow up quickly and help your father."

A gentle female voice came from inside.

Might Guy smiled and opened the door and walked into the house.

"I'm back."

His gentle wife was coaxing the child and saw Dai coming back.

"The meal is on the table."

He continued to coax the newborn child. Might Guy was stretching out his little hands to grab something and laughing non-stop.

"Thank you for your hard work." Might Guy scratched his head awkwardly: "Sorry, there are only two thousand taels today."

His wife smiled: "It's enough for the expenses for this period of time."

Might Guy sat down at the table and began to eat his wife's cooking.

With a gentle wife and a lovely son.

He was actually quite satisfied.

The income of the Genin barely supported the family's expenses. If he worked hard, he could save some for Dai at the end of the month.

As long as he could live in peace like this, it would be fine.

Is it really okay as long as he could live in peace like this?

Might Guy stopped his chopsticks, his lips moved a little, and suddenly accelerated the speed to violently pour the food into his mouth.

"Delicious! It's really delicious!"

Might Guy's abnormal behavior made his wife discover something strange.

After all, this man is really like a child sometimes.

Might Guy, who may have sensed something, also closed his eyes and fell asleep.

His wife then sat down at the table.

"Tell me, what happened?"

The couple faced each other.

Might Guy put down his bowl and chopsticks, his beard was covered with rice grains, took a deep breath, and spoke in a loud voice.

"I want to protect the village, I want to give you a better life, I think."

"Go to the front line!"
