Danzō doesn't need to say it. Almost in the instant he spoke, Tsunade understood what he was thinking. Was he planning to kill Natsuo on the battlefield? Almost instinctively, she wanted to refuse.
But the next moment, Natsuo spoke: "Alright, I'm willing to accompany Danzo-sama and have a go."
Tsunade was shocked, then immediately put her hand to her forehead helplessly. Neither of these two have good intentions!
"No, Danzō is already old and not suitable for the frontlines!" Tsunade said without hesitation.
If Danzō and Natsuo were to face off, who would die? Although it was clear that Danzō was also an experienced Kage-level ninja and had studied the Kekkei Genkai of various major clans for many years, he definitely had some powerful cards up his sleeve.
But just thinking about her own encounters with Natsuo, Tsunade had no doubt that Danzō would definitely die at Natsuo's hands. Of course, Tsunade thought that Natsuo wasn't guaranteed victory either. The specific outcome would depend on their battle...
But regardless of who wins or loses, it would be a huge loss for Konoha! This meant that Konoha would lose a Kage-level combat power at the beginning of the war. If it weren't for considering the stability of the village, how could Tsunade still tolerate such an annoying guy? So, for Konoha's sake she couldn't allow the two to fight recklessly.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen was able to fight Sunagakure, so why can't I?" Danzō paused and leaned on his cane, saying. "Tsunade, don't underestimate us old folks!"
"But the Third Hokage was killed by Sunagakure!" Tsunade couldn't help but say, "How about we replace Natsuo with someone else? Someone who can provide you with more support."
"What about the leader of the Hyūga clan, Hyūga Hiashi?"
Hiashi's face twitched. He didn't want to be teammates with Danzō; it was too dangerous!
"Having the leader of the Uchiha clan is enough," Danzō calmly said: "Tsunade, Iwagakure is still inactive, and the village must retain a certain level of strength. The situation with Kumogakure is also dangerous. I only need the leader of the Uchiha clan to assist me."
Natsuo also smiled and said, "I am willing to do my best to help Elder Danzō repel Kirigakure."
He glanced at Tsunade and spoke with great emphasis.
"I know Hokage-sama may think that Elder Danzō and I have grievances and is worried that it will affect the battle situation."
"But you have to believe in our loyalty to the village. For the sake of the village, I believe that Elder Danzō will be willing to resolve our conflicts."
Yes, you will definitely resolve them properly. Isn't it enough for one of you to die?
Tsunade, helpless, could only try to find a solution. She indicated that Elder Danzō's combat power was insufficient, as he was easily defeated by Rasa. It was not enough to stop Kirigakure. Perhaps they should consider having Jiraiya join the battle.
On the other hand, Danzō stated that he could lead the elite members of the Root to act together.
On Tsunade's side, she argued that the Uchiha clan has contributed a lot of money to the village and their contribution is significant. They should not be deployed casually.
On the other side, Natsuo argued that the fate of a ninja is to fight, and the Uchiha clan has never hesitated to shed blood for Konoha.
On Tsunade's side, she argued that Elder Danzō is familiar with Konoha's political landscape and should not leave at this time.
Over there, Danzō said: "Having Mitokado Homura is enough. Furthermore, I am willing to shed the last drop of blood for Konoha....."
'Are you two really determined to kill each other?!' Tsunade was so angry that she wanted to curse. She could only continue to persuade them tactfully. She came up with countless reasons, but Danzō countered with various facts.
In the end, even Danzō was a little annoyed and couldn't help but say: "Tsunade, I am also a Konoha shinobi. Why do you want to stop me from contributing to Konoha?"
'I'm trying to stop you from throwing your life away!' Tsunade was furious.
But not only Danzō, even high-ranking officials like Nara Shikaku felt that Tsunade's reaction was a bit excessive.
Isn't it better to send Danzō out?
If he stays in the village, we will be constantly worried that he will suddenly drag our children to the Root...
Let him go to the front, it is convenient for Tsunade to consolidate her power, allowing Konoha to fight the enemy freely. Why don't you agree?
Some people even thought that Tsunade wanted to keep Danzō in the village to find a chance to get rid of him.
Faced with everyone's confusion, Tsunade couldn't explain herself. In the end, she could only nod.
"Alright, then I will follow Elder Danzō's suggestion. You and Uchiha clan leader, Natsuo, go to the front lines together..."
It's difficult to persuade a stubborn ghost with kind words. Besides, she was only worried about the general situation of the village and didn't want to cause more internal turmoil. Now he's just cutting off his path of survival.
Danzō, you're asking for it! But this kind of thing cannot affect Konoha.
Then, after the meeting, Tsunade pulled Natsuo tightly and said firmly: "Natsuo, in this battle no matter what I say you will not listen to me, and you will still do something to Danzō."
Looking at Natsuo's smiling face, Tsunade smiled bitterly. Then she became serious: "Alright, maybe you will do something, and I can't control that."
"But I have a bottom line!"
"That is to say, no matter what you two want to do to each other, you must first push back Kirigakure."
"Understood?"
Saying this, her expression was extremely serious. There is absolutely no room for negotiation in this matter!
"Understood." Natsuo smiled slightly. "My Fifth Hokage-sama..."
At the same time.
Kirigakure...
"These guys really made a move!" Terumī Mei kicked the table in anger, smashing it to pieces. Kirigakure's finances: -5,000 Ryō.
"Well, following the clues left behind this time, we should be able to eliminate all the influence left by that mysterious person." Ao said in a deep voice: "From this perspective, it is a good thing for our Village."
Anyway, Kirigakure is far away from the mainland. Even if we lose the battle, as long as we don't lose too badly, to the extent that we can't even use the advantage of the sea to block the enemy, then we will be safe and sound.
"I know." Terumī Mei took a deep breath and nodded: "But as the Mizukage, being manipulated like a puppet on a string really makes me angry."
"Now that I think about it, when we killed the Third Mizukage back then, the Third Mizukage might have felt the same way as I do now..."
"No! His mood should have been worse than mine!"
"So in that battle, the Third Mizukage exposed many flaws, creating opportunities for us to kill him..."
Ao sighed lightly.
The Third Mizukage was also a ninja who had gained the recognition of countless Kiri ninjas, but unfortunately, he was eventually manipulated and became more and more cruel, turning Kirigakure into a blood mist.
All of this...
is the fault of the mastermind behind the scenes!
Unfortunately, although Kirigakure has been making every effort to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, the village has just emerged from internal strife, and it will take some time to restore the rule of the Mizukage. They are unable to provide much assistance to the investigation team.
As a result, they still cannot obtain any information...
"Mizukage-sama, I think Konoha has probably taken action by now, so what should we do now..."
"Of course we should take action!" Terumī Mei raised her head high, her gaze determined: "Although I don't mean to, Kirigakure cannot afford to lose this battle!"
"What about the Ninja World War?"
"As long as we don't join the main battlefields, as Kirigakure ninjas, what should we fear?"
The high-ranking village officials looked at the woman in front of them with respect. This is our Mizukage-sama, the leader of our village!
"I will command the battle! Ao, Toneri, Jugo, Kengo and Koda... follow me into battle!"
"Yes, Mizukage-sama!"
...
Konoha Village. Uchiha residence.
"Seriously, what is that bastard Danzō thinking? Why does he have to send you?" Anko complained.
"Yeah, this is delaying the revival of our Uchiha clan!" Sasuke also looked displeased. "There are so many skilled shinobi in Konoha, couldn't he choose someone else?"
Karin nodded repeatedly. "That's right, that's right! That guy named Danzō is going too far!"
'Although my birthday is in half a month, thanks to Danzō, Natsuo-sama won't even be able to celebrate it with me... Damn, Danzō, you're a nasty old man!'
But even as Natsuo's wives cursed Danzō, they also helped pack up Natsuo's belongings. Although they curse a lot, they are actually mentally prepared...
Sasuke hesitated for a moment and said: "Natsuo, how about I go in your place?"
"My current strength is already enough to graduate. Except for that idiot Naruto, the other students in the school, even if they join in, are not my opponents."
"We made a deal back then. You revive the Uchiha clan, and I restore the Uchiha's reputation and seek revenge against that man..."
"The battlefield should be my mission now!"
Natsuo smiled and patted Sasuke's head. "Stop messing around. I'm much stronger than you... Let's revive the Uchiha's reputation when you grow up and become even stronger."
Sasuke turned his head and escaped from Natsuo's hand.
"Then what about your mission?" Sasuke complained: "We agreed on our roles, but now you want to back out?"
"Yeah, Natsuo, don't you want to bear the burden of reviving the Uchiha clan?" Anko seized the opportunity and ran over, her seductive eyes giving Natsuo a meaningful look. "Why not work harder while you're still here?"
Natsuo just smiled.
"Who said that once you're on the battlefield, you can't strive for the revival of the Uchiha clan?"
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.
The next day.
The main force is about to depart, and Danzō's trusted aide is inspecting the personnel and supplies.
Danzō still had that closed-eyed, calm demeanor. After a moment of silence, he spoke softly. "It's time. Mobilize the members of the Root. By the way, where is our sub-leader that Uchiha boy?"
In order to facilitate operations during the war and prevent Danzō from forcing the entire army to attack Natsuo, Tsunade directly issued an order, appointing Natsuo as Danzō's deputy. From this, it can be seen that she actually wanted Natsuo to overthrow Danzō. Otherwise, there would be no need for so much trouble.
"Danzō-sama." A Root ninja appeared in front of Danzō in an instant.
However, his normally expressionless expression was extremely strange at this moment.
"What's wrong?" Danzō slowly opened his eye. "Don't tell me that kid didn't come?"
"No, he came." The Root ninja said with a strange expression. "But he didn't come alone."
"Huh?"
"He brought seven wives..." The Root ninja's mouth twitched.
"What?" Danzō couldn't help but open his eyes wider.
"Not only that, in the short time it took for the army to regroup, he used a storage scroll to release a large tent and is currently resting with his wives inside."
"I've never seen someone go to the battlefield like this!"
‘Bringing wives to the battlefield? Are you treating it like a picnic?!’
