Chapter 499: Uchiha Fugaku's Decision The Turmoil Before the Expedition

Konoha.

With the issuance of a new round of conscription orders, the major ninja clans were squeezed to the last blood by the village.

"Fugaku, Itachi is only four years old. Isn't it too harsh to let him go to the battlefield so early?"

Uchiha clan land.

Uchiha Yashiro, looking at Uchiha Itachi following behind Uchiha Fugaku, his eyes flashed with some fluctuations.

"Early?"

"As early as the Second Ninja World War, there were already four or five-year-old kids in the village who appeared on the battlefield."

"They can, and my son Uchiha Fugaku, of course."

"Yashiro...Itachi's talent is far beyond your imagination, even better than Hatake Kakashi's talent."

"Let him see the cruelty of war in advance. For him, onlyThere are advantages, no disadvantages. "

"And... in order to defeat the Kirigakure, Elder Izumiyama died, and... many clan members, as well as my former teammates, also died in the Kirigakure assassination..."

"Someone must inherit this hatred."

... As time went on, more and more Uchiha clan ninjas gathered behind Uchiha Fugaku. These people... were all the combat forces that the Uchiha clan could mobilize, except for the police department personnel.

"It seems that they are all here~"

The gate of Konoha.

Thousands of Konoha ninjas gathered in scattered groups, but... what caught everyone's attention were the two figures standing in the front.

The Darkness of Konoha, the leader of the Root, Shimura Danzo~

The Shadow of Konoha, the Sandaime, Sarutobi Hiruzen~

"Is Lord Hokage going to fight this time too? "

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's calm back, many Konoha ninjas were shocked, and their morale continued to rise silently.

"Hokage~"

"Fujiwara, Tanaka, Uesugi ninjas, and the four Uchiha ninjas have not arrived yet~"

In a whisper, an administrative staff member responded with a little trepidation.

"What are those little brats doing? Don't they know the time set by the village?"

Compared to the carefulness of the administrative staff, Utatane Koharu's tone was undoubtedly more rude, as if she was deliberately guiding something.

"Koharu, keep your voice down, maybe... those little brats were delayed by something. "

Silently looking at Koharu Utatane, listening to the commotion behind him, Sarutobi Hiruzen said nothing more.

However, with the activeness of the little brats of the Fujiwara, Tanaka, and Uesugi clans, many people such as Fujiwara Aiko and Uesugi Mako have become official jonin of the village, and the weakest ones are also special jonin.

As for Uzumaki Kyoji, after entering the Quasi-kage, he also made rapid progress...

In addition to Uchiha Qingfeng, Uchiha Kazuha... four people.

This configuration is also a force that cannot be ignored for Konoha today. ..

"Hmph~ Hiruzen, even if you want to spoil him (her), you have to take your time."

"The war is urgent now. Every minute of delay will cause more companions to die... I think that in order to enforce discipline, these brats must be severely punished."

"Hey~ Lord Hokage, I think the words of Advisor Utatane are too heavy. "This is a war after all. For those kids from the Fujiwara, Tanaka, and Uesugi families, they may need more time to adjust. After all... they are still very young, and they are still children. "

"A group of children who once made military achievements for the village…"

Utatane Koharu may never have thought that one day, she would be slapped in the face by her own people.

That's right, the ones who stood up to speak for Fujiwara Aiko and others were not outsiders, but the head of the Utatane clan and many elders.

"You~"

Looking at the familiar faces in front of her, Utatane Koharu's face suddenly darkened.

So much so that Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Yashiro and others who were just watching the fun couldn't help but cast a pitying look at Utatane Koharu.

As the ruler of the Utatane clan, the pillar, the one who had the final say, after Fujiwara Tetsuya appeared... he actually fell to this point, it was really... pathetic.

"Ahem~ Hokage-sama, what Utatane Advisor said is not unreasonable. This matter…"

Just when the head of the Kurama clan spoke, his voice suddenly stagnated.

The gaze couldn't help but look at the end of the street, where... a series of rhythmic footsteps were constantly amplifying.

"Are you here? "No, look... that's Lord Tetsuya!" "Lord Tetsuya is actually back from the front..." Two figures suddenly rushed out from the turbulent crowd, they were Yuhi Yueliu and Aburame Youren. "Teacher~" The figure that was spreading was led by Fujiwara Tetsuya, who rushed back overnight after killing Shukaku and severely injuring the Third Kazekage Rasa. After Fujiwara Tetsuya, there were Uchiha Mikoto, Uzumaki Kyoji... Fujiwara Aiko, Uchiha Seikaze, Tanaka Gintoki and others. Now, the three Fujiwara, Tanaka, and Uesugi clans, except for Utane Hise who is in charge of the medical department and Uzumaki Naka who is in charge of the clan, can be said to have all the ninjas. "Tetsuya~" "Hehe~ Lord Hokage, and Lord Danzo, long time no see." "Because of me, I came a little late... I don't think anyone will have any objections, right? "

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo in front of him, Fujiwara Tetsuya also set his eyes on the ninjas and expeditionary troops on both sides.

Sensing Fujiwara Tetsuya's gaze, the head of the Kurama clan immediately shrank back. As for Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Yashiro and others who were watching the excitement just now, they held their breath under Uchiha Itachi's curious gaze, as if... they were afraid of being picked on by Fujiwara Tetsuya.

"Of course no one will have any objections."

"Not to mention waiting for such a short time, even if you wait for another day, at least... I won't have any objections."

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen who fell into silence, Danzo chuckled and instantly stood beside Fujiwara Tetsuya, as if... to express his attitude.

"Tetsuya, how is Kikyo Mountain? "

After a moment of silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and chose to change the subject.

Because of the selection of the fourth generation, he and Fujiwara Tetsuya had a certain gap, but deep in his heart, in fact... he still owed something.

However, he is the Hokage, the shadow of Konoha.

No matter what you do, you can't be swayed by emotions.

"Over at the Kikyo Mountain Fortress, before I left, Senior Orochimaru risked his life and launched a surprise attack. "

"Fenfu and Shukaku were killed by me. Don't think about resurrection without several years. "

"Rosa was seriously injured by me,It will take at least half a month to appear on the battlefield again... There will be no problem in a short time."

Fujiwara Tetsuya's answer shocked many people.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen took a breath subconsciously.

The means to control and seal the tailed beasts... The ninja world has more or less various secret techniques and sealing techniques.

But the one who can really kill the tailed beasts... Looking at the history of the ninja world in the past few decades, there is absolutely no one.

"Is this Mr. Fujiwara Tetsuya of Meiji?"

"Konoha, the strongest genius ninja..."

The shocked Uchiha Fugaku did not notice that the little Uchiha Itachi, looking at the position where Fujiwara Tetsuya was, suddenly burst into a brilliant look...

It seemed curious, admiring, and... shocked.
