Chapter 006 Konoha High-Level Meeting

"How do you plan to convince the daimyo?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

"If I convince the daimyo, will you support me?" Danzo did not answer his question, but asked instead.

The atmosphere fell silent.

No one else interrupted, and they looked at each other quietly.

"Old thing!"

"Old fox!"

Danzo looked directly at Sarutobi, and Sarutobi also stared at him closely. Both of them cursed in their hearts, but they did not show any expression on the surface.

Danzo was getting harder and harder to understand.

Sarutobi muttered in his heart, sighed, and finally spoke: "If you can convince the daimyo, I will not oppose your opinion, but I will not interfere with other people's choices. I can make decisions on weapons and food, but you need to convince the people who go into battle yourself."

"f**k!" Danzo cursed in his heart. He knew very well how low the original owner's popularity was in the village. With his popularity, if he wanted to pull a group of subordinates to accompany him into battle, except for the Root Ninja, probably no one else would follow.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the old fox, knew that the matter was already a foregone conclusion, but he still played this trick. How cautious he was of himself.

It was a pity that the original owner had been blaming him for his whole life!

The atmosphere in the meeting room was a little dull.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not speak, and sat in the main seat calmly looking at Danzo.

War is not a joke. Since Danzo has made up his mind and intends to take the lead, he will not refuse.

Thinking about it carefully, Danzo's decision is not bad for him.

On the one hand, it can weaken Danzo's hidden power in the village, and on the other hand, it can regain the face of Cloud Shinobi Village.

And as long as he is still sitting in the position of Hokage, no matter what Danzo does, the one who will praise him in the end will only be Sarutobi Hiruzen.

At that time, he will gain both fame and fortune, and he will definitely not lose out.

No one responded for a long time, and Danzo looked ugly.

Since Sarutobi Hiruzen just made his proposal, no one on the scene responded to Danzo.

"Ahem."

Finally, Hyuga Hiashi broke the silence, stood up and said: "If Lord Danzo can convince the Daimyo, the Hyuga family is willing to follow Lord Danzo into battle."

In public, Hyuga Hiashi should do his part for Konoha.

Privately, Danzo's actions this time protected his brother's life and the reputation of the Hyuga clan, and he should also do something for Danzo's expedition.

At least, Danzo should not be allowed to go to the front line alone with the Root to die.

Facing Hyuga Hiashi who suddenly stood up, everyone else had their own thoughts in their hearts.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen also frowned.

Since Uchiha Madara rebelled against the village, although the Hyuga family has been the second largest family in the village, most of their behaviors and decisions tend to be neutral.

And after Sarutobi Hiruzen came to power, he has been following Sarutobi's footsteps.

I didn't expect that he would choose to support Danzo this time.

Did the coercion just now make Hiashi angry?

The Third Generation thought to themselves.

"Don't worry, Hiashi. I will convince the Daimyo even for Konoha."

Danzo finally forced a smile on his face. Although he was more confident that the war would not start this time, he was not sure of the outcome if he really took the Root into battle.

As soon as Danzo finished speaking, he heard Uchiha Fugaku standing up and saying, "If the daimyo agrees, I will also lead the Uchiha people to join this counterattack."

After this, the Third Generation, who had just frowned, looked a little ugly.

The other families looked at each other. The first and second families began to support Danzo, so they had nothing to hesitate and spoke up.

A small part of the original Hokage faction, led by Hyuga, spoke out to support Danzo, and even Uchiha, who had always been rejected by the village and had a bad relationship with Danzo, supported him.

The Third Generation felt cold in their hearts. What did Danzo do in secret?

In fact, this scene surprised Danzo himself.

He looked at Uchiha Fugaku in a daze.

The original owner inherited the purpose of the Second Generation and was extremely repulsive to Uchiha. From memory, every time this guy met Uchiha, he was tense and never calm.

But this time, Uchiha Fugaku actually supported him, and Danzo was a little confused.

But he was not the original Danzo, and he did not necessarily agree with the Second Generation's purpose.

Since Uchiha intended to repair the relationship with him, Danzo would naturally not refuse, and smiled at Fugaku in a friendly manner with a gentle smile on his face.

His smile made Uchiha Fugaku tremble all over, and he regretted his decision just now.

Putting aside the positions between Danzo and Uchiha, Fugaku actually still supported Danzo and agreed with some of Danzo's decisions in his heart.

For example, this Cloud Shinobi Village incident.

When he heard that Danzo would not attend the meeting, he thought that this old guy had given up his insistence, but he did not expect that this guy would be so cruel and kill people directly, successfully disrupting the peace talks of the Hokage system.

Fugaku, or the Uchiha clan, is also a member of the pro-war faction.

A meeting started with everyone in a friendly manner.

With Danzo's interference, it successfully turned into a mobilization meeting.

This is definitely a victory for the war faction!

With all the news blocked, the people of Cloud Shinobi Village had no idea that Danzo would lead Konoha this time and make the decision to fight.

In their hearts, the elderly Sarutobi Hiruzen would definitely choose to seek peace instead of starting a war.

Cloud Shinobi Village already believed that the Byakugan was in their pocket.

Danzo smiled and said goodbye to the representatives of the major families. Only the Third Generation, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were left in the conference room.

"You have changed a lot." Utatane Koharu was the first to speak, looking at Danzo with a look of inquiry.

At first, she also opposed Danzo's decision, but then inexplicably, she was persuaded by Danzo and did not speak out to stop him.

"Cloud Shinobi Village is also under great pressure. Although Iwagakure's Ohnoki is older than the monkey, he is much stronger in his heart." Danzo looked at the Third Generation who looked unhappy in the main seat, and couldn't help but sneer again.

"Humph."

Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted coldly and didn't refute.

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura also didn't speak. In fact, they all understood this matter in their hearts, but Konoha couldn't afford to gamble.

Since the First Shinobi World War, Konoha Village has always been the target of public criticism.

In which war has Konoha faced a ninja village fairly?

Every time, several large ninja villages were mixed with a large number of small ninja villages, rushing over in a mess. Every time Konoha participated in the war, it was against the majority. Although it won, the losses were also heavy.

They didn't think that if the war really started this time, only Cloud Shinobi Village would be the enemy of Konoha.
