ALL NOVEL Chapter 130
The next people present were the two advisors behind her.
One was Nara Shikaku, who lost an arm. He and his family suffered heavy losses in the Uchiha Rebellion. Ironically, the losses of the former largest clan, the Uchiha, and the current largest clan, the Hyuga, were much lighter than those of the families loyal to the third generation.
The other was Mito Kado En, who was paralyzed and wrapped in bandages and could only move in a wheelchair.
Just like the rumors among the people of the Hidden Mist Village about a standing Mizukage and a sitting Mizukage.
In Konoha, there was also a hell joke that was widely circulated privately; the third generation had two and a half advisors, and the fifth generation had one and a half advisors.
This joke meant that the intact parts of Nara Shikaku and Mito Kado En were exactly three eyes, three hands and two legs, which could almost form a half-complete person.
Of course, this joke was more of a pastime for the Konoha ninjas after dinner.
Shikaku also made a great effort in the Uchiha Rebellion, and the blame for establishing the Konoha Guard Corps was not on him, so his reputation was still good.
Shikaku said,"If that's the case, then there's no choice but to fight."
Some people agreed, and more ninjas frowned, but no one objected.
Just like the people of the Hidden Cloud Village believed that Konoha would not accept this condition, no one in Konoha would be willing to follow the Raikage's ultimatum and hand over Uchiha Itachi.
This is not comparable to the matter of the patriarch of the Hyuga clan. Itachi is a genuine Kage-level combat force. Without this kind of power, Konoha would be at the mercy of others.
In the Hokage's office, the topic did not go smoothly, and many ninjas looked embarrassed.
As if she wanted to speak to ease the atmosphere, Tsunade did not reply after listening to a few words, but smiled and changed the subject, and asked Jiraiya;
"How is Naruto's training going?"
Jiraiya said in a deep voice;
"With the help of the Nine-Tails' chakra, he can already perform the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique on hundreds of people at once. And I have already given him the technique developed by the Fourth Hokage, and he can now use that technique with the help of several shadow clones.
Tsunade nodded.
These special trainings for the Nine-Tails during the preparation period were all forced, and the purpose was to help him form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
In their plan, if it really doesn't work, then the Jinchūriki will definitely be needed. Of course, he can't be allowed to go into battle in person, as that would be too dangerous. He can only use multiple shadow clones to create a large number of shadow clones to fight a war of attrition with the enemy's ninjas who have a superior number.
But in this way, although Naruto will not suffer any physical harm, the accumulated pain of those shadow clones will also cause him a great mental burden. Is this too harsh? Too unfair for a teenager?
She was still thinking this when she heard the Mito consultant behind her say;
"Since war is now inevitable, I have a suggestion."
The consultant said in a deep voice in the wheelchair;
"In order to cope with the shortage of grassroots ninjas in Konoha in the upcoming battles, I propose that the students of the Ninja School in these years graduate early."
"What did you say?" Jiraiya growled with a bad look on his face.
Tsunade also seemed to have recalled some bad memories, and her face looked grim.
Jiraiya stepped forward and said to Tsunade;
"The reason why we work so hard is to prevent the next generation and the next generation from suffering the same fate as our generation.
If we repeat the tragedy that our generations have experienced on them, then what is the meaning of everything we have fought for in the end?"
Tsunade nodded silently.
The elite ninjas present also basically agreed.
Nara Shikaku proposed a compromise plan at this time. After all, he is different from Mito. He has his own son studying in the ninja school. It is obviously more fair for him to propose this plan.
"I propose that they be transferred to the internship mode, and the graduation standard will be determined by their performance during the internship period. During the internship period, their tasks are to protect the village, catch spies, and patrol the village."
Hearing this seemingly mild plan, some people on the scene began to nod their heads. After all, if the opponent really hits the Konoha Village, then there will not be much difference whether it is in the ninja school or patrolling the village.
Tsunade sighed helplessly and said;
"Let's do it this way."
Of course Naruto is special. After all, he is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and is an indispensable part of Konoha's war machine.
"So let's get back to the point. Do you have any countermeasures to this so-called ultimatum? How is the defense organization on the front line?"
Nara Shikaku frowned and said;
"The trouble lies not in the ultimatum itself, but in what happens if we go to war with the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village.
No matter how the war goes, it is not a war that can be decided in a short period of time. It may last for months or even longer, just like the previous Ninja World Wars.
Once this happens, our rear will inevitably be empty, facing the possibility of being attacked from the rear by the restless Iwagakure Village.
And once the Iwagakure Village makes a move, the Hidden Sand Village, which has always maintained a relatively good relationship with us, may also intervene to share a piece of the pie.
At that time, the small countries around Konoha may also be forced to attack us together due to the pressure from the other four major hidden villages. At that time, we will really be beaten like a drowned dog."
Hearing the terrible scene he described, everyone present frowned.
Mito Kado En on the side said;
"In the past few days, I have consulted the political advice of Nara's advisors, and also discussed the military possibilities with Jiraiya in private, combined with the intelligence collected by Uchiha Itachi.
Finally, we have initially formulated a bold plan. As long as this plan can be successfully implemented, it can reverse the embarrassing situation of being attacked from all sides."
After saying this, he looked at Jiraiya, who neither admitted nor denied it, but turned his head away as if he was still thinking about something.
Tsunade, who was behind the Hokage's desk, smiled awkwardly and said in a joking tone;
"What's wrong? Am I the last person in this office who knows about this battle plan? Just tell us what the plan is, don't hide it."
Mitomon Yan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, nodded calmly and said something shocking;
