Chapter 117: Big Moves in the Hidden Whirlpool Village! The Love-hate Relationship of the Four!
Eastern Sea!
What happened in the northern seas!
Uzumaki Ashina sent someone to inform Uzumaki Shigetsuna!
As for the meaning!
It's very simple!
Konoha only has four incomplete teams!
We can inflict heavy damage to the Cloud Shinobi, led by three Elite Jōnin, in the northern seas!
Then! Ten battalions in hand!
Uzumaki Shigetsuna has nearly 400 ninjas under his command!
There is no reason to be led around by the nose by the ninjas of Kirigakure!
"Someone come!"
"Call all Jōnin to a meeting!"
After a long silence!
Uzumaki Shigetsuna finally made a decision!
Although the next action may cause a large number of casualties among the tribe!
but!
Under the current situation in the Whirlpool Country!
The patriarch has no choice!
He! He also has no choice!
This battle! We must fight!
Just when Uzumaki Shigetsuna was busy deploying personnel!
The latest information about the northern waters of Whirlpool Country!
After Anbu's treatment!
It was also placed on Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk!
"Danzo! Koharu! Homura!"
"What do you think about the recent events in the Whirlpool Country?"
Inside the Hokage's office!
Same as usual! Sarutobi is smoking a pipe with a frown on his face!
It can be seen that the situation in the Whirlpool Country has deteriorated!
This gave the Third Hokage a huge headache!
"Hiruzen! I know what you're thinking!"
"But there's the Whirlpool Country! Cloud Shinobi Village or Kirigakure!"
"None of them are the key factors that hinder us!"
"The important thing is the one in the capital! And the high-ranking officials who control the Fire Nation!"
"Since they have already meddled in the affairs of the Whirlpool Country! And have stood against the Uzumaki clan!"
"Then we! Under no circumstances can we send any more personnel to support the Hidden Whirlpool Village!"
"Not only that! We should also call back all the teams stranded in the Whirlpool Country to the village!"
That's right! The friendship between the Uzumaki clan and Konoha!
It started before Konoha was established!
During the reign of the First Hokage, it reached its peak!
At that time, we could be described as close as brothers!
But now! Times have changed!
The top leadership of Konoha has changed!
The Uzumaki clan has changed as well!

In Utatane Koharu's opinion, he risked angering the Fire Country Daimyo and the interest groups formed by those powerful officials to save the Uzumaki clan far away in the eastern waters of the Fire Country!
It is extremely uneconomical and unreasonable!
"Koharu!"
"I know what you mean!"
"After all, now! We have established a good relationship with the daimyo!"
"Whether it's policy! Or finance!"
"It all depends on the support of the Daimyo!"
"But! The relationship between Konoha and the Uzumaki clan! After all, it was established when Shodai was alive!"
"If we don't do anything!"
"What will the ninjas in the village think of us?"
The aforementioned! It is his worry!
But it is not the most important!
What he was more worried about was that person's attitude!
Whether it's the First Hokage's wife!
Still the identity of Nine Tails Jinchūriki!
Once a conflict is triggered, it will definitely cause consequences that they cannot bear!
Face Sarutobi Hiruzen's answer!
Utatane Koharu fell silent!
The existence of that person has always been something they could avoid!
but!
No matter how they evade or deceive themselves!
That person really exists!
"cough!…"
"Hiruzen! What's happening in the Whirlpool Country! The Root can take appropriate action!"
After the Anbu expansion!
The root staff! Also got a lot of additions!
pity!
What gives Danzo a bit of a headache is!
Over the past year!
The missions performed by the roots! Most of them are marginal missions left over by Anbu!
Now the roots! Continue with a big scene!
Truly make a name for yourself!
Let him and the Root gain a firm foothold in Konoha!
But! I just said this thought!
It was rejected by Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura!
"Danzo! Get your mind off of this!"
"At this time, we should put the overall interests of the village first!"
"For the village's sake! We can't risk offending the Daimyo no matter what!"
"Hmph! Homura!"
"Compromise is not the way to solve problems!"
"Have you ever considered the consequences of the destruction of the Whirlpool Nation?"
"Then! We will lose our eastern barrier! The Land of Water! Kirigakure will turn his greedy eyes towards the fertile land of the Land of Fire!"
"Besides! No one can be sure!"
"Will the Uzumaki clan fall to Kirigakure at the last moment! Or Cloud Shinobi Village!"

"You should all know how terrifying a truly powerful Uzumaki clan member is!"
"Just like Uzumaki Ashina and Mito-sama!"
Faced with these two companions who are almost like the same pair of pants!
Danzo lost face! Naturally, he was not in a good mood!
He responded without hesitation!
Compromise! Balance!
If you just follow this principle, even if you are a gentle person like the First Generation!
If I knew, I would probably jump out of my coffin!
"cough…"
"Danzo! Homura! Koharu! Calm down, both of you!"
"I called you here! To discuss a solution to the problem!"
"Instead of watching you guys quarrel!"
"Don't forget! We are all companions!"
Meet Sarutobi Hiruzen and make peace!
Danzo and the other two looked at him coldly and immediately shut their mouths!
Obviously he understands it in his heart!
At this time, tit-for-tat will not solve the problem at all!
"Hiruzen! I feel something about the Whirlpool Country!"
"It's better for us to keep worrying about it and still not be able to come to a conclusion!"
"It would be better to go meet that adult first!"
"At least! We need to let that adult know clearly about our current predicament!"
Have to say!
Mitokado Homura's plan is really too shameless!
On one side is the village! On the other side is my own mother clan!
No matter what Uzumaki Mito chooses!
It is bound to harm the interests of one party!
The most critical!
If the decision made by Uzumaki Mito is in line with their expectations!
They can be completely removed from this matter!
Even if something unpredictable really happens in the future!
The first ones to be held accountable are not them!
"Homura is right!"
"The matter of Whirlpool Country! We should really ask for Master Mito's opinion first!"
At Mitokado Homura's house!
Utatane Koharu followed up with her own opinion!
As for Danzo, he quietly moved his head aside!
Obviously agree with this approach!
"Since you have no objection! Then do as Homura says!"
"Tonight! We're going to the Senju clan! To meet Master Mito!"
Meeting Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze!
Mitokado Homura's scalp shuddered, and he cursed in his heart, "Monkey!"
What do I mean?
I'm just the Hokage advisor! Not the Hokage!
However! No matter how much Mitokado Homura cried in his heart!
Nothing can change Sarutobi Hiruzen's determination to let him take the blame!
