Chapter 311 Ready(1/3)
The Iron Country meeting was definitely an extremely successful operation for Konoha, but this success also made them feel a little depressed.
After all, no matter who it is that causes such a mess, I'm afraid it won't feel good.
Fortunately, they are all qualified ninjas, and they recovered quickly after some self-mediation.
And one thing I have to say is that the impact and results of this operation definitely far exceeded their expectations!
Therefore, they quickly put their energy on more important positions. After all, it is useless to think about it so much now.
It is better to deal with the things that need to be dealt with thoroughly, create an integrated and peaceful ninja world, and deal with what will happen in the future. This is the top priority!
"Everyone, we think it's time to have a serious discussion on how we should deploy it now."
In the Hokage's office, Jiraiya rubbed his eyebrows and said.
They chose to return almost as soon as the matter was established, not only them, but others as well.
However, Jiraiya also promised Mifune that he would immediately dispatch Konoha personnel for rescue. This moved Mifune, but it also made Jiraiya even more embarrassed.
Nara Shikaku glanced at Jiraiya who was sitting on the Hokage's seat rubbing his eyes, and then at Minato Namikaze who was silent on the side.
Finally he looked at Ha Yuan, and finally he took out the documents he had compiled and prepared to speak.
Of course he knew what was going on with these two Hokages and this minister. After all, no one would really hide this kind of thing from him.
To be honest, although he is not a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, he still understands the priorities of things and treats people well.
So strictly speaking, what Hahara did was unethical, but he wouldn't object, especially since this kind of thing was an accident, so he was even more unwilling to participate in these things.
What's more, now that they have gotten the results they want, it is most important to resolve these matters as soon as possible and discuss a better plan.
"Now we have obtained legal support and compromise from the major film studios. Please forgive me for using this word, but in fact they are indeed a compromise.
Therefore, what we have to do now is to consolidate our advantages and allow our people to dominate everything as much as possible, thereby controlling these villages.
This is how we achieve our goal, so in order to achieve this goal we have to select our personnel well."
Nara Shikaku spoke quickly and concisely, but his words also got straight to the point. It was obvious that he did not want to discuss meaningless things.
"Also, in addition to our professional government personnel, we must also send our troops.
Although for now, the number of troops we can allocate is not enough, even if we carry out reforms, we will still need time.
However, as far as the current situation is concerned, we think our personnel reserves are sufficient, and we can split up the troops and send them there.
And we also have an advantage that ordinary people cannot have, that is, we have more powerful and elite ninjas.
With these elite ninjas teaming up and leading the team, I believe we can finally get an ideal result."
"Minister Shikaku is right."
After hearing what he said, Hahara thought for a moment, and then he spoke directly.
"Especially controlling their villages is definitely a top priority, and this is what we need to pay most attention to and work hard on.
But for these villages, we can adopt some different strategies. Iwagakure Village is completely close to us, so our actions do not need to be particularly obscure.
I even think that many things can be discussed with Ohnoki to make him feel involved.
This is how we express our respect for him, and also tell him that the Earth Kingdom will basically belong to the Fire Kingdom, and Iwagakure Village will belong to Konoha, but he will still be the local controller.
We will let him make appropriate adjustments based on local conditions. Although he must listen to us on many government orders, they can also put forward ideas that are consistent with local realities.
In addition, I will contact Uchiha Madara and the others to slow down the Earth Kingdom's offensive, which will at best achieve the effect of training.
In this way, the pressure on us in the Earth Kingdom will be reduced, and we can invest more energy in other places."
The problem of the Earth Kingdom has been basically solved, so there is no need to be so involved in acting in the Earth Kingdom.
In this way, they can put their focus completely on the places that need it most, such as Kirigakure Village, which is somewhat elusive but is the first to express its stance.
There is also Yunyin Village, whose attitude is also a bit confused, and it can be seen that there is some resistance but still expressed its stance.
These two villages are currently the ones in Konoha that need the most attention and are worth thinking about, especially who and how many people should be sent there.
"In that case, what do you think?"
Jiraiya nodded, his attention had been completely attracted, and he glanced at Namikaze Minato, who was still silent, and Tsunade, who seemed to have no interest in this matter.
In the end, he could only ask in pain. He felt that this kind of meeting was simply torture for him.
Namikaze Minato's situation is easy to understand. After all, he is the Fourth Hokage, and he has never announced his intention to abdicate.
But he died once, and Konoha is now under the real rule of the Fifth Hokage, so he consciously said nothing.
In fact, according to Namikaze Minato's own thoughts, it is actually not convenient for him to attend such a meeting. He now prefers to be an ordinary jounin.
But he also knows that there are some things that he may not be able to escape.
Since he can't escape, he might as well just pretend to be silent, so that's what he's doing now.
As for Tsunade, she really had no interest in these meetings. At this time, she had devoted herself wholeheartedly to her own research and development experiments.
After all, for her, her regrets are basically gone now.
Her grandfather came back to life, her brother came back to life, and she didn't need to worry about many things in Konoha.
In this case, why is she still so tired? She just needs to stand up for Jiraiya at the critical moment.
Regarding this situation, Jiraiya was quite helpless, but he was used to it, so he simply asked.
"Hokage-sama, I recommend the Yondaime Hokage-sama to go to Iwagakure as the commander."
Nara Shikaku said directly. It was obvious that he already had a plan in mind.
"The Fourth Hokage originally was a big enough threat to Iwagakure, and his appearance will definitely put a lot of pressure on those who are unconvinced in Iwagakure.
Of course, I also know that such pressure may have negative effects.
But fortunately, Ohnoki has already made his choice, and the Fourth Hokage probably won't put too much energy into it.
Therefore, the symbolic significance of Yondaime-sama’s existence is greater than the actual significance, which is completely enough for us.
Moreover, the Yondaime-sama can also take his family members with him. Since he is resurrected, he hopes to spend more time with his family, so he can treat this time as a trip.
Of course, the Yondaime Hokage still needs to take action at critical moments, which can improve our morale and our prestige.
I just don’t know what the Yondaime Hokage-sama thinks.”
Nara Shikaku explained all the advantages and disadvantages at once, but the content of his expression made everyone nod.
Indeed, letting Namikaze Minato pass might be a very good choice.
Namikaze Minato is very embarrassed to be in Konoha now, after all, his identity is Hokage.
But he has already died once. Now that he is resurrected, will he have to compete with his teacher for the Hokage's right to speak?
Of course this is impossible, Namikaze Minato has no interest in doing these things, even Jiraiya is not his teacher!
And as a former Hokage, he naturally knows that Konoha's current model is very stable.
But the human heart is the hardest thing to guess. After all, the seven major families now have absolute dominance.
The biggest cake was basically given to the seven major families, plus the Hokage and ministers from non-seven major families. What do other people think?
Even other small families can get a lot, but who doesn't want more, and my current status is so embarrassing, what if they find me?
Sell it, everyone is a member of Konoha, it's not a good idea to do this.
Moreover, if Habara gets angry and starts a general purge, it will be Konoha's loss.
Don't sell it, this is just a bomb, who knows what it will do to Konoha if it explodes.
Therefore, even Namikaze Minato himself felt that it might be better if he was not in the village.
"I agree with this plan."
Before anyone else could speak, Minato Namikaze stood up and spoke.
"I believe that the Earth Kingdom is a good choice, and I also believe that I can play my due role in the Earth Kingdom."
"Then it's settled, the affairs of the Earth Kingdom will be left to you."
Jiraiya saw that Namikaze Minato had expressed his stance, so he could only nodded, and then he looked at Nara Shikaku.
"Minato is going to the Earth Kingdom as the commander, so who do you plan to send to the people who will cooperate with him in ideological transformation?"
"Hokage-sama, I recommend my cousin, Nara Shikaki."
When Nara Shikaku said this, he did not forget to glance at Habara, and Hahara couldn't help but froze for a moment after hearing the name.
But soon he nodded seriously and said that this was a great choice.
If nothing unexpected happens, this uncle who once took great care of Habara will change his identity and become his father-in-law.
For his father-in-law, Hahara naturally hopes that he can develop better, but the person in charge of the Nara clan is Nara Shikaku, and his development will probably be the same in the end.
However, if you want to really achieve success, it also requires time and ability, as well as opportunities.
Now Nara Shikaku has given such a proposal. He bluntly said that this is a favor for his future father-in-law.
Habara will naturally support this kind of thing, and there will be no danger for the future father-in-law to go to the Land of Earth. Although the matter is serious, it is not troublesome. Why refuse such a good thing?
"Lucheng, I think this will be a good choice."
