Chapter 66 Hiruzen: Obito is a good boy!
Hokage Building, War Conference Room.
In front of the conference room, a map of the ninja world was hanging.
Lines of different colors are used on the map to outline the defense lines of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces' attack on the Country of Fire.
On both sides of the long conference table that should have been filled with Konoha's top officials, only Konoha F4 and the Director of the Intelligence Division were left.
In addition, many of Konoha's backbone forces have already been sent to various battlefields.
dong dong dong~
"Come in!"
The sudden knock on the door made Sarutobi Hiruzen frown.
He has already ordered that no one is allowed to enter here unless they have important information.
Could it be that there has been a new incident in the battle between the Grass Country and the Iwa Ninja?
"Lord Hokage!"
Hearing this familiar voice and seeing the young figure pushing in the door, Sarutobi Hiruzen perked up.
You came back so soon. Could it be that the Kannabi Bridge has been destroyed?
"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"
Minato looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectant eyes, and without saying any nonsense, he bowed and reported directly.
"Okay, okay!"
"Good job!"
"Minato, when the war is over, I will remember you a great merit!"
When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, his frown that had been frowning for many days finally relaxed, and he couldn't help but praise him repeatedly.
All along, among the three front lines of the battlefield, the one facing the Iwa Ninja is under the greatest pressure!
Now they can finally cut off their escape route and trap the Iwa Ninja frontline troops in the Grass Country battlefield.
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt as refreshed as if he drank a large bowl of cold water on a hot summer day!
Hum, that old thief Onoki, I will definitely let you steal the chicken but lose the rice this time!
"In that case, Minato, you immediately go to the Country of Grass and assist Hyuga Hizashi in defeating the Iwa Ninja!"
"As for Kakashi's team, let them go directly to the Kirigakure battlefield and assist Fugaku in defeating Kirigakure!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately ordered.
The battlefield is like a chess game.
How to reorganize the chess pieces in his hand is exactly what Hiruzen Sarutobi has been thinking about since the war started.
Now, without a steady stream of logistics, they only rely on the vanguard of the Iwa Ninja Village.
For Hizashi with Minato's help, there is nothing to fear!
In his opinion, with Minato's current combat power, even if he was supporting alone, he could defeat one against a thousand!
On the other hand, the Kirigakure troops who came by sea were not constrained by the terrain and came out with their best troops.
It would be too much pressure to rely on Fugaku alone to lead the Uchiha clan in a confrontation!
This war, to put it bluntly, is a war started by the Fourth Raikage for revenge.
As long as Kirigakure and Iwagakure can be repelled respectively, no matter how unwilling Kumogakure is, he will be alone and can only retreat in embarrassment!
Looking at the entire Konoha, only Minato can rely on the flying thunder god's technique to quickly travel to various battlefields.
Therefore, Minato is the living thing in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand!
After Minato first helped Hizashi defeat the Iwa-nin, he immediately went to the Kirigakure battlefield to help Fugaku win.
Then the crown of this Ninja World War still belongs to Konoha!
"Lord Hokage, there is one more thing you can report to me!"
Minato frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Obito hasn't been found yet. If he really carries out the mission so directly...
"Oh? But it doesn't matter."
Are there any other changes that I didn't expect?
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Minato's heavy face, showing no joy at completing the task or excitement at being praised by him, and his heart sank.
"That's it, Hokage-sama."
"During the mission, the three of Kakashi encountered an ambush by hundreds of rock ninjas."
"Although the enemies were eventually eliminated by Kakashi, Obito disappeared mysteriously!"
"Based on the signs at the scene, I suspect that Obito was abducted by someone who is proficient in earth escape!"
"So, can you give me three days to find Obito first?"
Minato bowed and said, he knew that the third generation's mission was related to the overall situation.
But when it comes to Obito's life and death, he doesn't care much!
Kakashi wiped out a hundred Iwa ninjas by himself?
When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, his heart moved.
He has a pure background, outstanding abilities, and the will of fire to dedicate himself to death.
It seems that after the war, he can be trained more!
As for Obito, he seems to be that little guy from the Uchiha clan.
Well, to be able to activate the second magatama at such a young age is considered a rare genius.
Originally, he assigned him to Minato's team, hoping that Minato could gain the support of the Uchiha clan.
Now it seems......
However, Obito's role is not irreplaceable. He has discovered better seedlings.
Uchiha Shisui, Sarutobi Hiruzen's companion in the Second Hokage Guards, and a descendant of Uchiha Mirror.
Before that, Sarutobi Hiruzen had found opportunities to test Shisui many times.
It was an idea inherited from the mirror, breaking away from the narrow family-oriented thinking of the Uchiha clan.
An outstanding young man who puts the interests of the village above all else!
If he fills Obito's vacancy, this problem can be perfectly solved!
As for sacrificing a talented boy from the Uchiha clan?
It is indeed a regrettable thing.
If it were normal times, the third generation would definitely pay attention to it.
But this is war!
In war, how can there be no death?
Thinking of this, Sandai, stroking his goat's beard, no longer hesitated.
Just when the third generation was about to speak, Danzo's gloomy voice came first from the side.
"Hmph, the kindness of a woman!"
"We are now in a critical period of the war. If the fighter plane is delayed because of this, can you afford it?"
"Do you know how many more people will die in Konoha just because you are delayed for these three days!"
"What's more, it's for the inherently evil Uchiha..."
Danzo, who had always been hostile to the Uchiha clan, finally found an opportunity to use the topic to his advantage.
"That's enough, Danzo!"
"The Uchiha clan is also an important part of the village. Don't say such nonsense that is not conducive to unity!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen first scolded Danzo for his words, and then showed a look of understanding and intolerance:
"Minato, I can understand how you feel right now."
"Obito is a good boy. Knowing that his life or death is uncertain, I am also heartbroken!"
"But now the situation is serious, saving the situation is like putting out a fire!"
"I think if a kind-hearted child like Obito knew your choice."
"I'm afraid he would rather sacrifice himself than cause more companions to sacrifice on the battlefield because of him!"
"Of course, all the villagers in the village are our family members, and the village will never give up on any villager!"
"How about this, when the war is over, I will personally send an ANBU team to accompany you to find it?"
Hey ~
Seeing the Hokage-sama acting like he is moved by emotion and rational.
Minato sighed secretly and stopped insisting.
He just hoped that Obito was just imprisoned at this moment.
After he wins this battle, you can go find him immediately!
"Yes, Hokage-sama, I'll take my leave first."
"Well, let's go."
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, watched Minato leave, and then restarted the interrupted meeting.
The two Hokage advisors and Danzo are also back in the mix.
As for the disappearance of Uchiha Obito, it was never mentioned again.
