Chapter 15.

-- Shadow clone --

While the main body and little Rei were have having. I was going through my daily routine of checking the form that were submitted, Browsing through informations and messages. Signing some agreements and going over the missions.

When i was doing all this, There was a hurried knock on the door.

"Enter"

Anbu enters and places the information on the desk returns to his position and waits for Hokage-sama's orders.

"What does everyone think about this." I asked as i read through information.

"According to the information every nation is mobilizing there forces. They are tightening their borders and sending more and more ninja's to survey." Anbu said.

" Lord everyone thinks the same that another war is coming. This time it will be bigger and stronger then ever before." He continued.

I stood up and walk to the window, watching over the bustling village slight worry passed through my eyes as it turned into determination. I turned around and ordered. "Pass my message in half an hour an emergency meeting will be held."

As soon as he left to convey the message. I cancelled the jutsu to let the main body receive the information.

-- Hokage POV --

I returned as fast as i could while mulling over the issues. Reaching the office i started to plan while waiting for the meeting to start.

Soon half an hour passed everyone took their positions with Shimura Danzo, Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane stood behind me.

Watching everybody i said "Everybody should have read the information. I want to k now what you guys think."

Before anyone could say anything Danzo with his stoic face said "what are you afraid of if they want war we would give the world should have already been under our leaf village."

"Stop saying that Danzo how many times do i need to tell you."

And then we both continued to bicker until Koharu intertwined "You both stop look at the issue in front of us first, after that you guys can continue. But this time i'm with Danzo if they want war we leaf will be ready for one."

We both stopped while everyone looked as usual not caring about these two as if they are used to it.

" I want to hear what you all say about this. Hiashi you say first"

"Lord i think same if they want war we will give them. But if we can stop it then why not. Either way we will be ready for anything" he said respectfully.

Everyone nodded as they continued to give the same answer. Hearing their answer being the same as what i thought myself.

I stood up with a grim face i said "Get ready everyone this war will be bigger longer and more destructive then the previous one. It might take atmost 3-4 years for everybody to gather their military we will be doing the same."

"Tighten the security at borders. Aburame and Hyuga clan need to send more of their personnel to the borders. I want you guys to keep an eye on everyone who enters and exits the borders what are their motives."

"Danzo i want your people to cut the loose ends on our side,"

"The mission outside the land of fire should be reduced, followed a strict checking procedure and keep an eye if there is any trap."

"Start training the Genins with a stricter regime. They can't enter the war as an genin even jonin can't be safe in war I want this years genins to reach atleast elite chunin level before war."

"Gather the resources as much as possible." I continued to give orders.

"Yes lord." They said as they received their respective orders.

"Before leaving i want to pass you a news. I have adopted Yun Rei as my grandson." I said to them.

"Congratulations lord." Everybody replied as the Tense atmosphere relaxed a little. This was the effect i was hoping for. It was the perfect time to reveal this news.

As soon as everyone left Danzo came to me and asked "What was all that about."

Koharu and Homura were also looking with questioning eyes.

"That is personal. You guys should not meddle."

Hearing the reply they glanced at each other and shrugged as this is not important he is nothing more than a kid what can he do. They had many important things to take care of. They left while thinking what are the things they need to prepare.

As they left I watched their backs fading. Then i sighed as i rubbed my head feeling headache because of the oncoming i didn't know what was gonna happen but i won't let Konoha down as i thought to myself.

Clapping my hand a Anbu appeared in front of me." I want you to give the Nidaime Kenjutsu scroll to Yun Rei."

The anbu left as i felt happy since he accepted me. That was the only good thing happened to me today.

Then i continued through my work as the day came to an end.
