"Tsunade cannot go to the rescue of the Whirlpool Country." Sandai said.

Tsunade has an important identity as the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

As the final weapon of the Ninja Village, it will not appear on the battlefield easily.

In addition, Tsunade, as a medical ninja, plays a greater role in the village.

Tsunade didn't refuse.

"Is there anyone willing to lead the team for this battle?" Sandai looked at everyone and asked.

There are many people in the village who can take action. The older generation Ruzukadie can lead the battle alone. His classmates Danzo, Koharu, and Men Yan are all elite ninjas.

Others, such as the leader of the ninja clan, the squad leader of the jounin class, and the captain of the guard team, White Fang, are all qualified.

There are also many rising stars among the younger generation.

In the face of the inquiry, no one said anything. In the past, Tsunade and the leaders volunteered one after another, but now, it is a bit subtle.

Fighting means military success.

A bowl of soup, with meat and soup, and now it is decided who eats the meat.

Now that I have made the decision, I want to eat it. The problem is, this meat is too chewy.

Everyone looked at Mei Ji. Taking food from this evil spirit required more than just courage.

For a moment, the atmosphere was silent.

When Sandai saw this, he had a headache. He didn't really want Mei Ji to lead the battle.

In addition to the factor of suppressing the reputation of military achievements, he is also afraid that Mei Ji will act randomly. The Huajie incident is still fresh in his memory. The explosion five years ago can also put the blame on Mei Ji's back.

It's not necessarily her fault, but it's not her fault.

"Chongji." Sandai said, "You will lead the team for this operation."

There was no one to choose, but the deal was already done, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and let Meiji play freely.

No need to bet, Sandai also knows that his orders are basically useless once they leave the village.

but...

"I refuse." Mei Ji said: "As a mere first-class genin, no, I have been expelled from the ninja class. Is this reasonable? Lord Sandaime, I have not given you any benefits. I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."

This stinky girl!

Sincerely trouble me!

"Mushihime." The third generation smiled and said: "As the third generation Hokage, I officially declare that I will resume my ninja status immediately, be promoted to a jounin, and lead the team in battle."

"This is not in line with the rules of the village." Mei Ji said: "What do you think of other people who have worked hard to become jounin?"

"You do extraordinary things at extraordinary times." Sandai said, "Everyone knows your abilities very well."

"This is force." Mei Ji said: "I am no longer a ninja, just an ordinary villager, so I refuse."

Mei Ji doesn't really want this credit, it's not necessary.

Sandai looked at Miki and smoked depressedly.

Love so and so! Don't pull me down! I don't have to worry anymore!

The third generation looked at the others and asked, "Is there anyone else who has volunteered?"

"Hmph... there's really nothing we can do, Sandaime." Danzo said at this time: "Just let me..."

Danzo couldn't say any more because Miki stared at him.

There is murderous intent.

Very rich.

The temperature in the room seemed to have dropped a few degrees, and everyone felt it, like a real cold murderous intention.

What does this mean?

The third generation ignored the murderous intent, ignored Danzo by the way, and said, "Is there anyone else?"

Danzo was suitable for training ninjas, and when he went out to do things, the third generation was afraid of **** up.

But no one said anything at this time.

It really hurts my head.

Sandai smoked his cigarette fiercely without looking at Miki, he was so bored.

Just spend it and see who can't bear it.

The three generations were waiting for Mei Ji to make a move, and they were ready to take action at the first glance.

At this time, an unexpected person spoke up.

Orochimaru, wrapped in a hooded coat, stood up and said, "Sarutobi-sensei, let me help Tsunade."

The murderous intent was gone, and everyone looked at Mei Ji, who was holding her head and looking at the scenery outside the window.

He looked like it was none of his business.

Orochimaru?

As a disciple of the Third Hokage, everyone only knows that he is a genius, and he is low-key and mysterious.

The third generation is not very clear about the mysterious situation of Orochimaru in recent years.

But I still know Orochimaru's abilities to some extent. If he just leads a team to fight, he is capable, and his own strength is not bad.

Not many people in the village knew about the matter between Miki and Orochimaru, including the third generation.

The third generation glanced at Miki, was it just that he couldn't get used to Danzo?

Danzo's face was ashen and he looked at Miki gloomily.

I'm so tired, when can I stand up?

He really wants to make hard steel, but he will really suffer a big loss. Even three generations can't save him, they can only watch.

There is a precedent for this kind of thing.

"The decision is yours, Orochimaru." Sandai said, "Behave well."

"I know how to do it, sensei." After saying that, Orochimaru sat back, looking cold, arrogant and mysterious.

Meiji has no one left.

Only when Zhili is under his nose can Mei Ji feel at ease, in case she makes big news again.

Hitomi's case is not suitable for conventional combat.

As for White Fang, he is one of his own. As the captain of the security team, the probability of him being activated in the third generation is low.

Others have their own uses.

Only Orochimaru barely fits.

After deciding on the leader, the next step is the specific battle.

First, how many people should Konoha support?

It depends on how many people are on the other side.

The third generation said: "The situation is very unfavorable. According to intelligence, Kirigakure has organized a ninja force of at least five thousand people."

The Kingdom of Whirlpool is very weak, so it depends on who you are competing with.

There are thousands of people in the entire clan. As a ninja clan, young and old are not ordinary civilians. Children as young as six can fight.

Everyone nodded in understanding, five thousand people, which is equivalent to a quarter of the ninjas in the village, about the size of a regiment and a half.

It can be said to be a large ninja army.

If you send too little, you won't be able to win. If you send too much, the village's defenses will be weakened.

"The tricky thing is..." Sandai said: "The Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Thunder also have the same movement. The specific information is unknown. It is very likely that they are heading towards the Kingdom of Whirlpool."

In the Kingdom of Thunder, due to race and color, it is difficult to place spies, and it is difficult for local people to instigate rebellion. It has always been very difficult to obtain intelligence.

In addition, it is located at sea, and it is inconvenient to monitor movements at all times on the vast sea.

So much so that it is unclear how many people were involved in this operation.

"A conservative estimate is that the Kingdom of Thunder should have no less than 5,000 troops setting off."

"Eight thousand people, close to three regiments." Meiji said: "Nearly nine thousand people, led by the Third Raikage himself."

Everyone looked at Mei Ji, how did she know?

Of course, through maritime reconnaissance.

Sandai understood Miki's abilities and said, "Is the information reliable?"

Without saying it was unreliable, Meiji said: "The Kingdom of Water can send additional support at any time because it is close. The Kingdom of Thunder wants to bypass our Konoha from the sea and bring a large number of people at one time. This time they are going to carve up the Whirlpool. The country’s assets, and our fists are not strong enough to defeat Kirigakure’s troops.”

When everyone heard this, they took a breath of cold air.

A large force of 14,000 people, maybe more.

"What about Sunagakure?" Sandai asked.

Sunagakure also has actions, which he learned through Konoha's intelligence network.

"Currently stationed in the Country of Waves and preparing to take a boat." Mei Ji said: "It's hard to judge the number of people. It is now three thousand."

Things are troublesome.

Very troublesome.
