Chapter 678

Tsunade rubbed her eyebrows and said unhappily.

She had a premonition that she wouldn't be able to avoid this.

"My fault."

Kitazawa said sternly, "When the war ends, I will accompany Lady Tsunade to the casino."

"How can the war end so easily?"

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and asked back.

"The Hidden Mist Village is far inferior to us; as long as we figure out why they started the war, we can end it quickly."

Kitazawa replied.

"That sentence is correct."

Tsunade nodded slightly.

It's just that she couldn't think of the reason for the Hidden Mist Village's declaration of war for a while.

Because if Itachi put yourself in their shoes, Itachi shouldn't declare war on a ninja village stronger than yourself, and just because of a ninja sword.

"Alright, everyone is here, let's start the meeting."

Hiruzen Sarutobi patted the table and said, "I just received a message from the Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karatachi; he has declared war on our Hidden Leaf Village."

As soon as these words came out, the conference room fell into a brief shock and silence.

"Didn't they just negotiate with us? Why would they suddenly declare war?"

"How could the Hidden Mist Village's attitude change so quickly?"

"With the Hidden Mist Village's strength, they dare to declare war on us; it's simply overestimating themselves!"

The Jonin couldn't help but discuss it.

Most people expressed incomprehension at the Hidden Mist Village declaring war on them.

"Hiruzen, why didn't Itachi explain the specific reason for the Hidden Mist Village's declaration of war?"

Danzo Shimura suddenly asked.

"The Fourth Mizukage said it's because we won't hand over the Thunder Blade: Kiba."

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused and said, "Obviously, this is just an absurd excuse."

He and Tsunade had the same thought; the Hidden Mist Village definitely had another reason for starting the war.

"Why absurd?"

Danzo Shimura snorted coldly and said, "This matter started because of Kitazawa; he embezzled the spoils of war, which led to this war."

"Kitazawa killed Raiga Kurosuki, so the Thunder Blade: Kiba should belong to him."

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but frown and ask back, "Where does the talk of embezzlement come from?"

"That may be so, but once the war starts, how much will the Hidden Leaf Village lose because of his own self-interest?"

Danzo Shimura suddenly changed the subject and accused, "I think Tsunade is also at fault for not teaching him well."

"Danzo!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with dissatisfaction, "Itachi are arguing irrationally!"

Hiashi Hyuga, Fugaku Uchiha, and others looked at each other, but none of them spoke.

After all, it involved the power struggle between the high-level officials of the Hidden Leaf Village.

That's right, in their view, this is the Hokage struggle between Tsunade and Danzo Shimura.

"Kitazawa acted according to the rules of the Hidden Leaf Village; what is wrong with that?"

Tsunade asked calmly.

"It is a fact that he provoked the war."

Danzo Shimura said, avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial.

"Then let's do this: let him end the war."

Tsunade said indifferently.

"He ends it?"

Danzo Shimura asked disdainfully, "Does he have this ability?"

"Then does he plus me have it?"

Tsunade raised her head, looked directly at him, and asked.

Danzo Shimura felt a jolt in his heart and suddenly realized something was wrong.

The reason why he attended the Jonin meeting this time was to become the commander of this war.

Because no matter what, the commander could not be given to Tsunade.

Once Tsunade won this war, she would have enough reason to become the Fifth Hokage.

"Very good!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was overjoyed upon hearing this and said with a smile, "Now I appoint Tsunade..."

He had thought that it would take a lot of effort to make Tsunade the commander of this war, but he hadn't expected her to bring it up herself.

This also had to thank the assist provided by Danzo Shimura.

"Wait!"

Danzo Shimura hurriedly stopped him and said, "I disagree!"

"What do Itachi disagree with?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with displeasure.

"Kitazawa made a mistake, and Tsunade is his teacher, so she is also at fault."

Danzo Shimura asked with strong arguments, "How can someone who is at fault serve as a frontline commander?"

So that's the idea Itachi had.

For a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade, and Kitazawa all understood.

"This was an unintentional mistake to begin with."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at him and said, "Since Itachi think she is at fault, let her end this war and atone for her sins."

"I mean..."

Danzo Shimura widened his eyes.

He suddenly became anxious; what is this all about?

"Do Itachi have any objections?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hand to interrupt his words and looked at Hiashi Hyuga and the others.

"No."

The many Jonin said in unison.

Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura only felt his body stiffen, feeling cold even in broad daylight.
