Chapter 406: Fight for the main general!

"Now, we must first decide who will serve as the commander of this army!"

Nara Shikaku made a suggestion.

This is critical.

Faced with the angry Cloud Ninja army, it is natural to send out reinforcements, and the commander of this army is also the commander who will resist the Cloud Ninja attack this time.

The air in the office fell silent.

Tang Ping looked at the faces of several people leisurely and complacently.

He doesn't care anyway. If he is allowed to go up, he can take the opportunity to gain some merit.

He was even more relieved when he was not allowed to have sex with her.

"Huruzen, leave this to me. I will make sure the Kumo Ninja understand how stupid it is to attack Konoha!"

Danzo recommended himself with confidence.

"no!"

"Can't!"

But who knew that before Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En spoke out in tacit understanding to stop him.

Yes, it was not Dou Ping, nor Nara Shikaku who spoke, but rather the two of them.

But it was precisely because of their relationship with Danzo that they understood more clearly that the position of commander this time must not be given to the other party.

They both knew very well how obsessed Danzo was with the position of Hokage, so naturally they would not give him a chance to serve as the main commander.

Not to mention, with one eye, one hand, and one leg missing, the other party was not qualified to serve as the commander (they didn't know about the deal between Danzo and Orochimaru and thought he was still disabled).

"Xiaochun, Menyan, you..."

Danzo probably didn't expect that he would be stabbed in the back by two people, and he seemed a little stunned.

"Do you have the confidence to stop the Fourth Raikage?"

Utatane Koharu's words directly touched Danzo's heart.

The commander-in-chief, while possessing supreme power, naturally also bears great risks.

Killing generals and seizing flags, such things are not uncommon in the ninja world.

During a war, if one side's main general was defeated or killed, the impact would be huge.

"Of course I...!"

Just when Danzo was about to say that he had confidence.

His eyes suddenly caught sight of half of his body wrapped in bandages, and then he reacted.

Indeed, according to other people's opinions, there was no chance for him to stop the Fourth Raikage at all.

Unless he makes his status public.

But this is simply impossible!
That was clearly saying that he was using Hashirama's cells for experiments, which was a sure way to social death, so he was speechless for a moment.

"And what do you think of the morale of the ninja army under your command?"

Mitomon En proposed a more realistic scenario.

Morale!

The morale of the ninja army varies under the command of different generals.

After all, ninjas are not killing machines like the Root, and their morale is not constant.

If they knew they would be serving under 'Ninja Darkness', their morale would definitely be very low.

Because Danzo really would use his ninjas as pawns and cannon fodder, and coupled with his bad reputation in the village, it would be good enough if the army didn't collapse.

Therefore, with these two fatal flaws, Danzo had no chance of becoming the commander-in-chief.

"Then besides me, who else can be the commander?"

Danzo also understood that the two were indeed right, so he asked back in dissatisfaction.

Tang Ping in the office would never be allowed to be the commander-in-chief unless the front line suffered a great defeat.

"How is Shikaku?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen proposed a candidate.

As the 'Konoha Military Advisor', the other party has great ability and prestige and is indeed qualified to serve as the chief general.

"No, he is no match for the Raikage. The Pig, Deer and Butterfly Formation is too easy to be targeted!"

Utatane Koharu pointed out the shortcomings.

"But he can be equipped with a lieutenant, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked towards Douhei.

Yes, this is the best combination in his mind.

The main general is Nara Shikaku and the deputy general is Uchiha Dohei.

In this way, Dou Ping can not get any merit, and the combat effectiveness of the ninja army can be guaranteed.

The problem is coming!

Would the deputy general be willing to do this?

The position of deputy general is one in which you have to bear the hardship and blame, and the achievements and benefits have nothing to do with you. A strong man is unwilling to take up such a position.

Unless there is a special relationship!

Jiraiya was appointed as Minato Namikaze's deputy commander because he wanted to help his own disciple get promoted. Why don't you try someone else?

Do you really think that strong people have no temper?

It's like the Hokage ordering Dohei to be the deputy general. He may not be able to refuse, but there are definitely countless ways to embarrass the main general, and the main general will be helpless.

Therefore, when Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Dou Ping, he was actually testing his intentions.

Faced with this kind of temptation, Tang Ping kept a calm expression, not revealing any of his thoughts at all, and completely let the other party guess.

Even if you ask him directly, he may agree on the surface but do things behind your back, so it's impossible to force him by command.

"I have a candidate!" Utatane Koharu suddenly spoke up, and after everyone focused their attention on her, she said the name, "Sarutobi Shinnosuke!"

Yes, the name she said was the head of the Anbu Department.

And the other party has another identity.

Son of the Hokage!

My dream is to become Hokage.

"No, Shinnosuke is not strong enough or capable enough to be the commander!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was the first to object.

He knew his eldest son very well. He had been captured by the Sand Ninja before and was rescued with great difficulty through a deal. Now he was being made to fight against the Cloud Ninja, who was stronger than the Sand Ninja. It was as if they wanted him to die.

"We can have Danzo and Douhei serve as deputy commanders, and Shikaku serve as military advisor!"

Utane Koharu told her about her arrangements.

This is definitely the most suitable configuration nowadays.

Danzo is indeed unable to serve as the main general, but serving as a deputy general can definitely bring great intelligence advantages to the main general.

Not to mention Shikaku, it might be a little worrying for him to serve as the main general in such a ninja village war, but no one would have any objection to him being a military advisor.

Finally, it’s Tang Ping.

With Danzo and Shikaku watching him, at least he wouldn't dare to act openly, and he would also be restrained.

Wonderful!

The plan of using Koharu Utane to arrange the meal is indeed the best option in this situation.

Not the best option, just the 'best' option.

As for why Sarutobi Shinnosuke was made the commander?

In addition to selfish motives, the other party is also qualified for this position because of his status, and it also gives the two deputy generals room to perform.

"Dohei, I wonder if the other members of the castle tower can go to fight?"

Mitomon En suddenly asked.

"Team 404 can attack, but the others are not Konoha ninjas, and I'm afraid there will be misunderstandings!"

Tang Run nodded happily.

In the entire castle tower, their 404th team is the only "active ninja", so they must obey orders.

Unless you become a rebel ninja, you really cannot refuse the village's orders.

At most, it is because of your strength that the village leaders will not force you to do any mission that will surely lead to your death.

But the other people in the castle tower were another story.

It is equivalent to an unregistered "private army" and the village cannot give them orders.

After all, these private armies do not eat the village’s rice and use the village’s money, so naturally they do not need to obey the village’s control.

Remember the peace agreement a few years ago?

Sarutobi Hiruzen played a trick on the major ninja clans, causing them to suffer huge casualties and not receiving corresponding compensation. The major ninja clans still remember this vividly.

The loss is too great!
The private army that was trained with great difficulty has been almost wiped out, which is equivalent to a waste of countless resources. The problem is that there is no return yet. Even the ninja clan can't stand it.

Therefore, forget about recruiting private troops this time.

With this lesson in mind, Dohei would have to be out of his mind to involve his own castle tower in this battle of ninja villages.

My own 404th team can join the battle, but the castle tower is out of the question.

"All right!"

Mitomon En also understood why Dohei was so determined and gave up this plan.

After selecting the army's command, the next step is to send out troops into battle.

This is where things get complicated.

Not only must we ensure that we can withstand the angry Cloud Ninja army, but we must also ensure that there are sufficient reserve forces to deal with any subsequent incidents.

If the Mist Ninja, Sand Ninja, and Rock Ninja see an opportunity, they may tear up the agreement at any time, directly invade the Fire Country, and start the Fourth Ninja World War.

As for the question of whether the village has not yet recovered?

They have this problem, does that mean Konoha is gone? Everyone is in bad shape, which means I am in good shape.

At last!
Konoha is preparing to send a thousand ninjas to form a support ninja army, with Sarutobi Shinnosuke as the chief general, Danzo and Dohei as deputy generals, and Nara Shikaku as the military advisor.

This reinforcement force has both quantity and quality, and it looks like it can handle the attack of the Cloud Ninjas more than enough.

If everyone works together internally.
