Chapter 119 Success

When Yakushi Nono successfully infiltrated Kumogakure and began to gather intelligence, nearly four days had passed since Minato Namikaze assigned them the task.

After all, Konoha is a long way from Kumogakure Village, and it took nearly three days just on the road.

Although he had long understood this, Minato Namikaze, who stayed in Konoha waiting for news, was still almost unable to withstand the pressure.

On the fifth day, Danzo and his advisors convened another high-level meeting. When Biao came to inform Minato Namikaze that the meeting would be held in the afternoon, Minato Namikaze, who was asking Uchiha Shisui about the recent Uchiha clan meeting, soon realized that the decision to increase troops this time might not be able to be suppressed...

"Thank you for your hard work, Shisui."

After Biao left, Minato Namikaze looked at Uchiha Shisui again and said approvingly: "I heard that you just arrived at the guard team and received a lot of praise from the public on your first duty."

"You did a good job, and you still have to work hard..."

Uchiha Shisui half-prostrated on the ground. After hearing Minato Namikaze's praise, a touch of joy flashed in his eyes the moment he looked up. However, he still felt that he had a long way to go to change the reputation of the Konoha Guard in the village by himself.

After a brief hesitation, he expressed his concerns.

"Hokage-sama, the current system of the guard team is four teams, which take turns to take over the duty.

Although I became the team leader because of the special case, I can use the convenience of my position to supervise the behavior of the team members.

But I am afraid..., my influence is limited after all..."

Recalling the experience of the guard team's duty in the past few days, Uchiha Shisui felt deeply. Most of the Uchiha clan members who can enter the guard team are talented ninjas with strong strength and high talents, and because of this, many people in the team think highly of themselves.

Whether it is mediating disputes or arresting criminals, most team members are extremely tough and unkind.

When he convinced the public with his absolute strength, he quickly forced his team members to change their style of duty. However, this move also ushered in the strange eyes of other teams, so although their team has established a good reputation among the people, it has been doubted within the Uchiha.

Vice-captain Uchiha Yashiro even talked to him alone and was very dissatisfied with his gentle and humble style of duty.

He believed that the Guard was a law enforcement force, and only harsh measures could deter criminals and establish the prestige of the police force. Uchiha Shisui could not refute this, because in a sense, it was not without reason. However, he still had to stick to his own opinion, because the task assigned to him by Namikaze Minato was to subtly change the Guard from within.

Finally achieve the effect of change.

Namikaze Minato could more or less guess that Uchiha Shisui would inevitably encounter resistance in the Guard.

With a warm smile, he encouraged: "Don't worry, just go for it."

"I will be your backing, you just need to work hard to expand your influence and get as many people's recognition of the Guard as possible. If someone in the Guard deliberately obstructs you, I will settle accounts with them."

When it comes to settlement, Namikaze Minato's gentle tone suddenly has a bit more majesty.

What he didn't say was that he would not let Uchiha Shisui stop at the position of squad leader of the guard. Since the hardliners in the guard had an absolute advantage, he would support the moderates to take over. When the hardliners in the guard were completely suppressed, the reform of Uchiha would be half successful.

And the premise of all this must be that Uchiha Shisui's influence in the guard increased and he was deeply recognized by the people of Konoha.

Uchiha Shisui's heart was lifted, and Namikaze Minato's gentle smile made him feel greatly encouraged.

The worries in his heart disappeared immediately.

"Yes, Hokage."

With great confidence, Uchiha Shisui responded and left soon.

After Shisui left, the office became quiet again. Namikaze Minato slowly turned his chair and looked out the window, looking at the bustling crowds on the streets in the distance.

But he couldn't help but worry in his heart.

It seems that it will be difficult to get news from the Hidden Cloud Village for a while. Although Nono is an elite intelligence ninja, it still takes some time to gather intelligence.

"I'm afraid it's time to think of another solution..."

Minato Namikaze sighed and murmured to himself.

That afternoon.

The high-level meeting was held as usual. As expected, Danzo once again urgently proposed to quickly end the war in the Land of Grass, and specifically asked the staff officer Nara Shikaku whether the troop mobilization and logistics material preparation had been completed.

Because Minato Namikaze used Nara Shikaku as a shield in the last meeting, and this time, of course, there was no excuse.

After looking at Minato Namikaze who was sitting at the main seat with a little helplessness, Nara Shikaku secretly cast a helpless look, and then had to answer truthfully: "The middle and senior ninjas in the village have been mobilized now, and the logistics materials are also sufficient. If you want to send reinforcements to the Land of Grass immediately, you can issue an order at any time..."

"In that case, then give the order quickly."

Shimura Danzo couldn't wait to take over the words, and then glanced at the two consultants first. Seeing that they both had no objections and nodded in agreement, a little joy flashed in his eyes.

Finally, he looked at Minato Namikaze, who had a complicated expression.

"The Yondaime, everything is ready, Konoha no longer has any worries..." Mito Kadoyan looked pleased, and his words were also full of urging.

Xiaochun, who turned to bed, also agreed: "If everything goes well, I hope the war in the Country of Grass will be completely ended within a week."

"Iwa Ninja's armistice agreement should bring peace for at least ten years..."

According to past practice, more than ten years are almost exactly the interval between previous ninja wars.

Therefore, based on experience, it is not unreasonable to say that I will sleep with Xiaochun.

At this moment, the eyes of everyone at the conference table were almost all focused on Namikaze Minato, and the latter could obviously feel that the pressure and momentum of everyone made it impossible for him to express any objections. .

Sighing slightly in his heart, Namikaze Minato had no choice but to do the next best thing, trying to buy some time in the end.

Standing up from his seat, Minato Namikaze glanced at everyone, and finally looked at Nara Shikaku: "Then let's completely end the war with the Iwa nin...

Captain Shikaku, please make the final mobilization preparations before the war today, and send reinforcements early tomorrow morning..."

If you can fight for one day, it is one day.

Although he couldn't delay it any longer, Namikaze Minato still took a chance and hoped that on the last night, good news would come from Nonou.

Unfortunately, he didn't expect that Pot King Danzo didn't want to wait any longer.

As soon as Namikaze Minato finished speaking, he suddenly said: "There is no time to prepare, so we should send reinforcements tonight..."
