Chapter 20: Resolution
"Let's just settle it. The Uchiha clan is part of the village anyway, and the teacher once said that we need to be more cautious when dealing with the Uchiha clan. We all hope that there will be more people like Kagami in the Uchiha clan, rather than dangerous people like Uchiha Madara. This Masashi, like Shisui, is a descendant of Kagami's lineage, so we can still place a certain degree of trust in him. Just give a Masashi order to all the major ninja clans and decide on the list of dispatched personnel within three days."
"News has come from the Anbu that the Hidden Cloud Village intends to mobilize a second batch. Although it is not a large-scale mobilization, if this batch is included, the number of Cloud Ninjas on the border will swell to more than 2,000, which is already a very dangerous number."
Under normal circumstances.
The number of jounin, chunin, and genin in the garrison points set up by the five major ninja villages in the border areas is only about 500 to 600 people, which is already a very exaggerated number. A small war can be organized. In the Third Ninja World War, the Iwagakure ninja troops led by the Jonin Toushito of Iwagakure Village had only about 1,000 people. Now the Kumogakure Village has increased its troops to nearly 2,000 in the soup country area bordering the Land of Thunder and the Land of Fire. Konoha must be vigilant!
Now it seems that it is just a harassment and raid war in the border area and various logistics bases.
But if they are not careful, it is very likely to cause further friction, and the possibility of a war breaking out is not zero!
This is also the most worrying point for Sarutobi Hiruzen during this period.
In their ninja village, hundreds of excellent ninjas were killed in one go during the night of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and thousands of ninjas suffered varying degrees of injuries. The most important thing was the loss of two Kage-level combat forces of the Fourth Generation.
It was a price Konoha could not afford.
In the past six months.
The Hidden Cloud Village has been constantly rubbing and testing.
Increasing the troops little by little, and now it has to mobilize troops for the second time.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's already tense heartstrings became more tense at this moment.
Considering this.
Let the Uchiha clan's forces resist on the front line, and further test the Uchiha and the Masashi. This is a decision that kills three birds with one stone. Mitokado Homura heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, and after a few seconds of silence, he slowly nodded.
"I understand. If that's the case, it's indeed safer. But should we talk to Danzo?"
"I'll explain to Danzo. We haven't reached that point yet in dealing with the Uchiha clan. All we need to do is stick to the teacher's philosophy and intentions. It's the best choice to have as many people like Kagami in the Uchiha clan as possible. The worst result is nothing more than the same as the teacher did back then!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
"Then do as you say, Hiruzen!"
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu also approved Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrangement.
In fact.
In their opinion.
The judgment and thinking of another close friend of theirs, Shimura Danzo, are often too extreme, especially in the affairs of the Uchiha clan. As early as half a year ago, when the Nine-Tails Rebellion broke out, Shimura Danzo had nakedly proposed a proposal to completely liquidate the Uchiha clan.
This proposal.
Don't mention Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu cannot accept it.
Even if the Uchiha clan does have a deep degree of suspicion and a history.
But in the final analysis, the Uchiha clan is still a very important part of the Hidden Leaf Village. How can they be cleaned up just like that?
Besides, not everyone in the clan is a violent maniac.
At least in the eyes of Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, the descendants of the Uchiha Kagami lineage led by Shisui can still be expected. They hold the same concept as Sarutobi Hiruzen. Even if the Uchiha clan rebels again, their way of dealing with it will be infinitely close to that of the former Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.
Not all Uchiha clan members are on the 'evil' side.
Uchiha Kagami can be cultivated in their teacher's generation.
In their generation, there is also Uchiha Shisui, and there is also Uchiha Masashi, who has just emerged. Even if it is still to be verified, at least the situation seems to be under control. Mito Kado Homura and Utatane Koharu both rejected Shimura Danzo's judgment that it is very likely to bring extremely serious consequences to the village.
The reason why the two of them trust Sarutobi Hiruzen so much is that they have stood firmly by Sarutobi Hiruzen's side for thirty years. In addition to the personal appointment of their teacher, the Second Hokage, it is also because Sarutobi Hiruzen's handling policy for every major event is very consistent with their temperament.
Steady!
This is the most critical point.
After the three reached an agreement,
Mito Kado Homura and Utatane Koharu immediately went to execute Sarutobi Hiruzen's orders separately, one to contact other ninja clans and the other to arrange logistics issues. Sarutobi Hiruzen personally discussed further personnel deployment with Uchiha Fugaku.
After all, the Uchiha clan is still responsible for the work of the security department.
Under normal circumstances.
The Uchiha clan is responsible for the security and patrol issues of the entire Konoha Ninja Village.
So there needs to be a focus on the deployment of personnel.
As one of the core targets of Sarutobi Hiruzen's plan, Uchiha Masashi is not currently serving in any position in the security department and is nominally only a "Chunin"!
Sarutobi Hiruzen can inadvertently put this genius of the younger generation of Uchiha into the list (from Shisui, Hiruzen already knew that Masashi opened his Sharingan to the level of three magatama, which is considered to be the level of Jounin).
Fugaku naturally cannot see this level, and this is also one of Fugaku's goals.
The Uchiha clan is a warlike family.
Letting the younger generation experience more trials and tribulations is an experience passed down from generation to generation. Fugaku himself took his four-year-old son, Uchiha Itachi, to the eastern battlefield against the Mist Village at the end of the Third Ninja World War.
In his current view.
Uchiha Masashi is undoubtedly the only one in the younger generation who can be compared to Shisui.
At the age of 14, he opened the Sharingan to the level of three magatama.
The Uchiha clan needs such a genius.
Although he is still in his prime, it is the greatest blessing for the clan to have more heroes in the younger generation.
Therefore, he is very happy to let young people like Masashi experience more. As for the risk of death or disability in battle?
Haha, if you are worried about this, don't become a ninja!
