Torifu stared at Danzo and said lightly: "Danzo, if you don't want to, we won't force you, don't worry, don't have psychological pressure."
Danzo was cursing in his mind. No forcing? No feeling of pressure? If I don't accept now, I could be dead by the time I get out of here.
Danzo took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said: "I promise you! I'll contact Kirigakure."
Torifu smiled and looked at Funan. "Since it's decided, who will fight this battle?"
Funan looked at Torifu in surprise.
The Uchiha? No, that's not it. If the Uchiha were sent, their expression and attitude would be different.
Funan suddenly understood.
Ino–Shika–Cho!
Funan smiled slightly and said: "The Uchiha have fought in two major wars in a row, they have suffered heavy casualties and need time to recover. This time, the Uchiha will not participate. Acting Hokage, do you have a problem with this?"
Torifu smiled with satisfaction. "In that case, the Uchiha will take a break, and the other villages will see that Konoha can make them kneel and beg for mercy, even without the Uchiha!" The fat old man looked at Hiruzen and asked: "Hiruzen, how many people can the Sarutobi clan send to help me?"
Hiruzen smoked his pipe and asked: "Torifu, what's your plan?"
"I will personally lead the shinobi army to fight!" Torifu said coldly: "Konoha will send out 3,000 shinobi, and Ino-Shika-Cho will send out 1,000, a total of 4,000."
Hiruzen frowned. "Alright, my Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan will send a thousand shinobi each." After saying that, he added: "Ten Jonin each!"
"Okay, very good!" Torifu smiled.
After the conversation, both Torifu and Hiruzen were satisfied. Even Danzo smiled.
Funan was also very satisfied. Although he knew they were targeting the Uchiha clan, Funan was actually satisfied.
What nonsense was that fat Torifu talking? If they couldn't bring Tsunade back, he would turn her into a missing-nin. He said he refused to be the acting Hokage.
He repeated those words so many times that Funan's ears were already calloused.
What's the result?
The fat old man has always wanted to rise to power.
It's true that he doesn't want to be the interim Hokage, but the idea of becoming the real Hokage has never gone away.
Now that the Uchiha clan is the most powerful, the old fat man Torifu actually wants to join forces with Hiruzen to suppress the Uchiha clan.
Good idea!
Funan applauded. If those two want to join together, let them do so!
When they have worn down enough of their strength, Funan wants them to beg him to take power and become Hokage. If they don't, he will destroy them!
Thinking about the state of Kirigakure, Funan couldn't help but laugh.
If Torifu knew that Kirigakure was now controlled by Obito, who hated Konoha, would he still lead the army to fight?
Uchiha Obito, he hated Kirigakure and Konoha.
What will be the outcome of this war?
It will most likely be a fight to the death between Kirigakure and Konoha.
However, if Konoha suffers heavy casualties, Torifu will really be in trouble.
Funan just wanted to tell Torifu that he was a very unlucky fat old man.
Funan was happy.
So he went to the Forest of Death and tormented the cultists several times.
He looked at the fruits on his body, which were beginning to grow again, and couldn't help but smile.
Why does everything seem to be going so well lately?
...
As expected!
Konoha's actions surprised everyone.
Kirigakure threatened Konoha, using Uchiha as an excuse. In the eyes of many shinobi villages, Konoha would refuse. What would happen next depends on Kirigakure's reaction.
Who knew that this time, everything would be different.
Torifu personally led 5,000 shinobi troops and appeared at the border of Kirigakure.
Everyone was stunned. Is this Konoha? There is actually a day when they will take the initiative to start a war?
Immediately, the shinobi villages began trying to form alliances.
Konoha is too powerful and strategically located. Konoha is connected to all villages without detours.
Now, Konoha is different, and they must face it with a different attitude.
...
Ten days later.
Torifu came to the front, full of confidence.
He has decided! With the toughest attitude, force Kirigakure back.
If they decide to fight...
It's highly unlikely!
According to hard-won information, Kirigakure's Blood Mist has caused many casualties among its shinobi.
They simply have no ability to start a war.
Therefore, Torifu had already decided that he would ruthlessly kill Kirigakure.
Torifu glanced at Hiruzen who insisted on following him. He must thank Hiruzen very much. If it weren't for the fact that he always gave the impression of being weak during his tenure, how would Kirigakure dare to threaten Konoha at this moment?
This opportunity is practically a gift!
Torifu was very happy.
After defeating Kirigakure, when he returns to Konoha, with good propaganda, the word 'acting' in his title of Acting Hokage can be removed.
Tsunade will return? So what?
Let her stay in the village supporting him. When Torifu gets tired of being Hokage, he will pass the title to Tsunade, and she will become the Sixth Hokage.
The Seventh Hokage will once again emerge from the Ino-Shika-Cho clans.
The Uchiha will never be able to become Hokage.
The more he thought about this, the happier Torifu felt.
[Boom!!!]
At that moment, a loud bang shook the place.
Torifu stood up and shouted: "What's going on?"
A bad feeling came over him.
"Acting Hokage!" A shinobi ran over in a hurry and shouted: "Kirigakure is attacking us."
"What?" Torifu felt his eyes go dark. "Are they crazy?"
Faced with Torifu's questioning, the shinobi was at a loss. How do I know what Kirigakure is thinking?
"Torifu!" Hiruzen said in a deep voice: "We need to get into the battle immediately."
"Hmph!" Torifu snorted angrily, revealing an indescribable domineering aura in his fat body, and said coldly: "I want to see how these Kirigakure can turn the world upside down?"
A big battle broke out immediately.
Kirigakure dispatched more than 3,000 people to sneak attack Konoha's camp, causing considerable damage to Konoha.
Konoha died hundreds of people on the spot, and thousands of people were injured.
Torifu was extremely angry.
Like Hiruzen, he hadn't been on the battlefield for too long, so he suffered a great loss.
He never dreamed that Kirigakure would actually dare to attack Konoha. Therefore, he ignored defense.
Kirigakure was just the opposite. They had almost no rules and threw themselves into the battle, attacking desperately in one direction.
They also lost hundreds of people in the battle.
But the number of casualties was almost equal on both sides, which was unacceptable to Torifu.
Torifu was furious. Since the war had already started, he had to achieve enough merits. He wanted to impress everyone.
He wanted to make Kirigakure regret it!
With this idea in mind, Torifu began to command the battle seriously.
However, everything that happened next was even more unacceptable to him.
Kirigakure used all ruthless tricks.
What kind of shinobi carries a bunch of explosive tags and, under the protection of other shinobi, charges into the ranks of the Konoha army?
Or release poison gas in the middle of battle?
Companions? Were those companions? The Kiri shinobi had no companions. They only knew their mission.
On the battlefield, many Kiri shinobi distracted the enemy while others launched large-scale Water Release ninjutsu. And they attacked their own comrades as well!
In just five days, the death toll of Konoha has risen rapidly.
Torifu is stunned. The whole person is about to be autistic by Kirigakure.
Seeing Konoha's death toll rise rapidly, Torifu felt cold in his heart.
The two battles of Funan weren't that difficult, were they?
Although they knew from intelligence that Funan was powerful, the Konoha shinobi had also performed admirably.
Why was everything going so wrong with him?
Hiruzen was also dumbfounded.
"Think of a way!" Torifu roared at Hiruzen, then turned his head to look at Danzo and said: "Aren't you in contact with Kirigakure? Is this your contact? Didn't I give them our information?"
"Bullshit!" There were no outsiders here, so Danzo didn't hide it anymore and said angrily: "It was them who contacted me to confront the Uchiha. Who knew you would get involved? Do you blame me? If Uchiha Funan were here, he would be the one to face all this."
"You..." Torifu looked at Hiruzen.
"I can't do anything about it." Hiruzen said bitterly. "Kirigakure is using suicidal tactics, what can I do? At most, the three of us will have to fight harder."
The three elders still have some strength now. Torifu, Hiruzen and Danzo still have the strength of the Kage level.
"This is the only way!" Torifu looked gloomy. He gritted his teeth, took his cane and left the tent.
With the battle at this point, fleeing? That wasn't an option!
Hiruzen and Danzo looked at each other, seeing the worry in each other's eyes.
A disastrous start.
