Thinking of this, Qi Feng shook his head again.
“No, with Madara Uchiha's plan, Obito should only be the first target. He wouldn't have no backup plan. Just reminding Obito and Minato is only a temporary solution. The real root cause is still Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu.”
This is a very difficult problem to deal with.
Madara Uchiha is in the dark, while they are in the open. Even if they know the other party's plan, they may not be able to stop it.
The most important thing is Madara Uchiha's current combat power. There are not many people in the entire ninja world who can restrain him.
“Forget it, let's take it one step at a time, but I still have to tell Hiruzen Sarutobi about the situation here, at least to make him a little more vigilant.”
With a flap of his wings.
Qi Feng temporarily gave up the idea of meeting up with the three little ones first.
After entering the border of the Land of Fire, he headed towards Konoha Village without stopping.
“After the initial rapid outbreak of the Third Ninja World War, the major hidden villages saw that they could not take down Konoha in the first instance, and temporarily entered a period of fatigue. What follows is a slow grind and slow consumption.”
On the way, Qi Feng was still analyzing the current situation in the ninja world.
“Konoha is definitely not afraid of short-term consumption, but if the time is too long, even if Konoha is rich, it will not be able to withstand the four hidden villages taking turns grinding it down.”
Konoha's strength is beyond doubt. One village is fighting back and forth against four villages.
“Danzo should already be trying to contact Onoki, right? In order to force Hiruzen Sarutobi to step down, he will definitely spare no effort.”
It is undeniable that Danzo played a significant role in this war.
“However, he should also feel the crisis. The appearance of Minato and me will make him uneasy, but there is no need to worry too much. His main attention should still be on Orochimaru. Not long ago, Orochimaru, as the commander-in-chief, even won a wave against Onoki, and his reputation in Konoha is at its peak.”
If Qi Feng and Minato Namikaze, the rising "Konoha Twin Stars," are the newborn sun of Konoha, then Orochimaru in Konoha is like the sun at its zenith.
After the end of the Second Ninja World War, the most promising contender for the position of Hokage was Sakumo Hatake, followed by Orochimaru.
His powerful strength, superb command ability, and unique personal charm have long allowed him to win a lot of loyal supporters among the Konoha ninjas.
Lost in thought.
The outline of Konoha Village has already appeared in sight.
...
...
Konoha.
Hokage Building.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat behind a pile of documents, burying himself in processing documents from various battlefields.
After the outbreak of the war, the most tired person was still the Hokage, who was stationed in the rear. He not only had to pay attention to the direction and trend of the major battlefields, but also was responsible for the deployment of the major battlefields and the transportation of materials.
In just over a year, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to have aged ten years.
Having passed the tail end of his peak, he could clearly feel his body gradually weakening and his strength constantly declining.
This made him, who originally had absolute confidence in himself, feel a little lost.
It's just that these complex feelings were covered up by his busy work.
“Hiruzen, I heard that you transferred Danzo back from the front line?”
Suddenly, the door of the office was pushed open by Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, who were Hokage advisors.
“Yes.”
Seeming to have known that they would come, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not look up, but just responded.
“The situation on the battlefield in the Land of Rain is still unstable, and the Sand Ninjas are even more ready to move. Is it a bit inappropriate for you to transfer Danzo back at this time?” Homura Mitokado couldn't help but ask.
Sunagakure has already selected the candidate for the Fourth Kazekage, and its cohesion is much higher than before.
There are also some Rain Ninjas who can't hold back.
“Tsunade is there, that's enough.” Hiruzen Sarutobi was still writing the document.
“It's not to say that Tsunade is not good, but after all, Tsunade she...” Koharu Utatane hurriedly said, stepping forward.
But before she could finish her words, Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head, “The Rain Ninjas will not intervene anymore. Does that put your minds at ease?”
“The Rain Ninjas won't intervene anymore?”
The two of them were obviously stunned, looked at each other, and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
“You don't need to worry about the battlefield in the Land of Rain. I have a plan in mind. The reason why Danzo came back is because Danzo has other more important tasks.”
After speaking, he lowered his head again and continued to process the documents.
Finding that the two of them had not left yet, he asked again: “Is there anything else?”
“I heard that... you entrusted the task of contacting the Mist Ninjas to Hiruzen Hizashi?” After hesitating slightly, the two temporarily put aside the matter of the Land of Rain and turned to the Mist Ninjas.
“Is there a problem?”
“Hiruzen Hizashi's strength is strong enough. Even if he is discovered after entering Kirigakure, he has a high probability of retreating unscathed. But after all, he has little experience and almost no negotiation experience. This cooperation with some Mist Ninjas is crucial to our Konoha and may change the situation of being restrained by the Mist Ninjas.
Is it a bit hasty to entrust such a task to an inexperienced young man?”
Koharu Utatane expressed her opinion.
“Who has experience at the beginning? Hizashi's going can show our Konoha's sincerity and is safe enough. There is no more suitable candidate than him.” Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head again, put down his pen, and turned to look at Homura Mitokado, “Homura, do you think so too?”
Homura Mitokado hesitated slightly, thought for a moment before saying: “I don't doubt Hizashi's ability, after all, he can also be said to be one of Konoha's rising stars. It's reasonable to give him more opportunities and experience to learn, but...
But after all, the result of this mission will have a great impact...”
He said a lot of approving words in front, seemingly agreeing with Hiruzen Sarutobi's decision, but the words after this “but” are the key.
“Then next time, let the two elders go for this kind of task. I don't really want to go to a place like the Land of Water.”
Suddenly.
A figure appeared by the window, the folded wings turned into a gourd behind him, and the voice was indifferent, with no emotional fluctuations.
“Hizashi?”
Seeing the person, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others were all stunned.
