Chapter 127 Removal

"Danzo!! You promised that the Cloud Ninja would not take the opportunity to send troops. How can you be responsible now?!"

After being shocked, Mitomon Yan was rarely angry and immediately reprimanded Danzo.

A few days ago, he had strongly advocated for increasing troops in the Land of Grass and persuaded them to put pressure on Minato Namikaze. All of this was based on Danzo's guarantee that Konoha would put all its efforts into the decisive battle with the Rock Ninja, and there would be no external factors to interfere. But now the most worrying thing has still happened.

In any case, as the assistant of the Hokage, Danzo must bear the responsibility in this matter.

The latter seemed to be self-aware. He chose to remain silent for a short time in the face of the rebuke. At the same time, he seemed to have some self-blame on his face. He said with a guilty look: "The Intelligence Department does have to bear a heavy responsibility for this matter. Of course, as the leader, I am also to blame."

"But there is one thing I still want to explain a little. The work of intelligence ninjas is extremely dangerous and difficult. Things like being misled by false information released by the enemy do happen occasionally."

"But no matter what, now compared to accountability, finding a way to deal with the invasion of the Cloud Ninja is the most important thing at the moment, right?"

Shimura Danzo had actually prepared these remarks for a long time.

Combined with his acting of self-blame just now, it can be said to be seamless. It was also decided long ago to blame the intelligence department.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the two consultants soon understood that, as Danzo said, solving Konoha's current predicament first was the most important thing, and holding them accountable would be discussed later...

"What are you waiting for? Quickly notify the front line of the Land of Grass to immediately transfer the main force back to the northwest border to defend against the enemy!"

Tatsune Koharu suggested in a panic.

At this time, the Konoha Village was in an unprecedented state of combat power emptiness, and basically there were no ninjas that could be mobilized to participate in the war. Being attacked from behind was a very serious matter, because the Cloud Ninjas were well prepared. If they were ignored, they would be able to break through the heavy defenses within a day and approach the gate of Konoha. This was by no means a sensational thing.

With the mobility of ninjas, it was easy to do this.

This proposal was quickly recognized by Mitomon Yan. After all, at present, this was the safest way.

"I agree to recall the main force from the Grass Country battlefield, and just in case, let all the remaining Genin in the village go out. Before the main force returns to defend, try your best to intercept the Cloud Ninja to protect Konoha."

The indifferent voice sounded, and the one who said this was naturally Danzo.

"Let a group of Genin with no experience go to the war? Danzo, do you know what you are talking about?" This time, not only the two consultants cast surprised eyes on him, but even Nara Shikaku frowned deeply.

"Of course I know, but the situation is special now. As a ninja of Konoha, even if you are just an intern at the Ninja School, you have the obligation to sacrifice for Konoha, don't you?"

"..."

"Danzo-sama, Genin is the future of the village, and we must not easily sacrifice it in a war with no chance of winning. This is what the Hokage said two hours ago."

Nara Shikaku recalled that when he had proposed to use Genin as a diversionary strategy, he was sternly rejected by Minato Namikaze, and he was deeply moved.

"By the way, where is the Fourth Hokage? Where is he now? Why hasn't he come yet?"

The two consultants and Danzo only remembered at this time that it had been so long since the emergency meeting, and the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze had not shown up yet, and they immediately felt a little strange.

For this issue, the one who is most concerned is still Shimura Danzo.

Everything at present is almost in his plan. Even if the main force is really transferred back, I am afraid that the Cloud Ninja has already entered the territory of the Land of Fire and caused heavy losses.

Konoha's defeat in the war was a foregone conclusion.

So he really wanted to know what kind of remedial measures Minato Namikaze could take at this time.

"Hokage-sama, he should have led less than a squad of Anbu members to the northwest border..."

"What?! The fourth generation went to the front line in person? Does he want to rely on this small number of Anbu to stop the Cloud Ninja army?"

Everyone was surprised to hear this news.

The large-scale invasion of the Cloud Ninja could not be dealt with by Minato Namikaze alone, so after hearing about this, the two advisors, including Danzo, found it a bit incredible.

"Don't worry, Lord Danzo and the two advisors. The Fourth Hokage has already made a plan to deal with the invasion of the Cloud Ninja.

Next, I will inform you of the subsequent arrangements in the village in detail."

Nara Shikaku glanced at the senior officials calmly, and then wanted to continue, but unexpectedly Danzo suddenly objected: "Isn't it too rash for the Fourth Hokage to do this?"

"As a Hokage, how can you leave the village and go to the battlefield in person at this time? What if a small group of enemies sneak into the territory of the Land of Fire and come straight to Konoha? At that time, the village will have no Kage to lead. How can we unite everyone to resist the enemy?"

This statement is righteous and the two advisors also agree with it.

However, Nara Shikaku had long anticipated this situation and quickly explained: "The Hokage rushed to the border to contain the Cloud Ninja troops and buy time for the main force of Konoha in the Grass Country battlefield to completely defeat the Rock Ninja."

"As long as the Grass Country can achieve a great victory, the Cloud Ninjas who have traveled a long distance to attack will naturally want to retreat.

When the Konoha army returns to defend, the strategic intention of the Cloud Ninjas will be completely lost."

This plan sounds good on the surface, but the two consultants are a little unsure. Although Namikaze Minato is famous in the ninja world and the name of the golden flash makes ninjas from all countries shudder, it is not realistic to rely on him and this small group of Anbu to stop the Cloud Ninja army.

Nara Shikaku probably guessed what the two consultants were thinking from the expressions they looked at each other, but time is tight and he can't care about much.

After making up his mind, he suddenly bowed to everyone and said very seriously: "Everyone, please believe and support the decision of the Fourth Generation."

"At this time, internal differences of opinion will only undermine the overall situation..."

After hearing this, Utane Koharu and Mitomon En looked at each other, and both seemed to be a little shaken. If it was Minato Namikaze himself who was here and the meeting was still in the discussion stage, they might still insist on conservative decisions and immediately transfer back the main force of Konoha.

But now Minato Namikaze acted first and reported later, and they might have already set off.

At this time, if they objected and disagreed again, it would seem a bit of a drag.

"Humph, ridiculous."

When the two consultants were about to express their willingness to accept Nara Shikaku's proposal and fully support Minato Namikaze's decision, Shimura Danzo suddenly sneered: "The Fourth Hokage is betting on the village!!"

"As the Hokage's assistant, I do not agree with such a ridiculous decision!!"

"My suggestion is to immediately send someone to persuade the Fourth Hokage to return to Konoha to guard the village, and at the same time urgently order the main frontline forces to withdraw to resist the invasion of the Cloud Ninja!"

Danzo's strong opposition cooled the atmosphere in the conference room for a while.

No one expected that he was still so stubborn even at this time.

"In this case, Lord Danzo, I have no choice but to hand you this dismissal order of the Fourth Hokage..." Nara Shikaku sighed in his heart, and with a complicated expression, he took out a paper order that had been prepared long ago and handed it over.

Then, he secretly glanced at the shocked people and explained carefully: "Danzo, the Fourth Hokage is very dissatisfied with your failure to lead the Intelligence Department this time, and has decided to remove you from the post of Intelligence Department leader.

In addition, if you strongly oppose the plan just now, your position as Hokage assistant will also be removed..."

After Nara Shikaku finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and suddenly took out another paper order.
