“Sigh…”
The Third Hokage looked at the Aburame Clan Head’s expression and sighed inwardly.
He could clearly see that the other party was already angry, but there was no other way; for the final victory of Konoha, he had to be the villain.
“I hope you can send people to support the Iwagakure battlefield once more!”
Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated for a moment, but decided to say it.
After all, if he didn’t say it, who would?
Danzo was not here, and no one else would speak on his behalf, so he had to say it himself.
“I am sorry, Hokage-sama.
The Aburame Clan no longer has any spare manpower.
If you have no other matters, I will take my leave.”
The Aburame Clan Head did not intend to send more of his clansmen to the battlefield.
The Aburame Clan members already heading to the Iwagakure battlefield accounted for nearly one-tenth of their clan.
Of course, this referred to the number of Ninjas; there were still many ordinary clansmen.
“Sakumo Hatake will also be going to the Iwagakure battlefield!”
The Third Hokage had anticipated that the Aburame Clan Head would react this way, so he puffed on his pipe and said this.
“Sakumo Hatake will also be going to the Iwagakure battlefield?”
The Aburame Clan Head, who had already reached for the doorknob, suddenly turned his head, his expression changing.
“That is correct.
Sakumo will go to Iwagakure.
The situation on the Sunagakure side is already undoubtedly a victory, so I need to transfer Sakumo to Iwagakure to quickly crush Iwagakure.”
After the Third Hokage finished speaking, he faced the Aburame Clan Head.
“If it is Sakumo Hatake, then…
I agree to send out forty more Aburame Clan Ninjas, and…
I will personally go to the battlefield as well!”
The Aburame Clan Head’s words caused the other clan heads to look over in surprise.
They did not expect the Aburame Clan Head to be so bold; as a clan head, he was actually going to the battlefield himself!
After speaking, the Aburame Clan Head sat back down.
The Aburame Clan Head didn’t want to give the Third Hokage face, but he wanted to give Sakumo Hatake face, as he believed Sakumo Hatake would inevitably be the next Hokage.
The Aburame Clan Head felt his relationship with the Third Hokage wasn’t great, but Sakumo Hatake was different.
He was young, and as long as he established a good relationship with him, would he lack benefits in the future once he took office?
“The Hyuga Clan has no objections either.
We can send out fifty Chunin from the branch family and ten Jonin from the branch family!”
Seeing that the Aburame Clan Head had no objections, the Hyuga Clan Head did not intend to demand anything from the Third Hokage.
He had originally intended to test the Aburame Clan’s attitude; if the Aburame Clan demanded something, he would too, but since they didn’t, he wouldn’t either.
“The Akimichi Clan agrees to send Ninjas.”
After the Akimichi Clan Head finished speaking, the heads of the other two clans stood behind him, their intentions self-evident.
“The Nara Clan will send a few more people this time to complete the Ino–Shika–Chō formation, and the three of us will also go to the battlefield!” Visit novelping.com for the full chapter.
The Nara Clan Head, Shikaku Nara, spoke up.
The Yamanaka Clan Head, Inoichi Yamanaka, and the Akimichi Clan Head, Choza Akimichi, also nodded.
“The Inuzuka Clan will send one hundred Ninjas, and I will personally go to the battlefield as well!”
The Inuzuka Clan Head did not originally intend to go to the battlefield, but hearing that Sakumo Hatake was coming, he saw it as a great opportunity to build a relationship, and he could not miss it!
“The Uchiha Clan will supplement with ten more Three-Tomoe, and my own son, Uchiha Fugaku, will also go!”
The Uchiha Clan Head was not to be outdone and immediately announced his sincerity.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi’s expression was not very happy; instead, it tended toward calmness.
“Has his reputation already surpassed mine?
Sakumo…”
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and then started smoking his pipe.
He sat quietly watching the clan heads argue, but his mind was entirely on Sakumo Hatake.
He had thought it would go smoothly, but he hadn’t expected it to go this smoothly—so smoothly that…
he even felt apprehensive toward Sakumo Hatake!
The next day, Sunagakure battlefield.
“Sakumo-sama, Hokage-sama has sent you a letter!”
While Sakumo Hatake was discussing with the people inside how to completely crush the Hidden Sand Village, a Ninja entered from outside, knelt on one knee, and respectfully handed the letter to Sakumo Hatake.
“A letter from the Old man?
Too bad it’s not for me!”
Jiraiya thought about the dozens of letters he had written to the Old man that were read but never replied to, and shrugged helplessly.
He was extremely bored here; he could not peep or find ladies, and his daily pastime was finding Tsunade, getting beaten up, and then writing letters to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
However, at the beginning, he could get replies, but later on, for some reason, the Old man wouldn’t reply with a single word.
Thinking of this made Jiraiya angry!
“A letter?
Let me see…”
Sakumo Hatake reached out to take the letter and examined it carefully.
“This…”
Sakumo Hatake’s expression changed while he was reading, and after he finished, his expression changed even more significantly.
“Sakumo, what is it!”
Tsunade walked up to ask.
“See for yourself.”
Sakumo Hatake handed the letter to Tsunade, while he reflected on the letter he had just read.
“A crushing defeat at Iwagakure?
They need Sakumo Hatake to go to the Iwagakure battlefield?”
Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura were at the Iwagakure front; could the war situation be reversed just because of one person?
Tsunade did not overlook Deidara; she only saw Deidara’s strength.
Whether it was his Bloodline Limit or his tactics, she could tell that this was someone with extremely strong combat awareness.
“It seems I need to make a trip to the Iwagakure battlefield.
I will leave this side to you all.
As long as you play it safe and steady, the Hidden Sand Village cannot organize any effective counterattack.”
Sakumo Hatake intended to go to the Iwagakure battlefield immediately.
Compared to the massive advantage they had here, the losing battle over there needed him more.
Sakumo Hatake had always been a man with a big-picture perspective.
“You go, but you must be careful of that person named Deidara.
He is definitely not simple; maybe even you will…”
Tsunade didn’t finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.
Although in the eyes of others, Sakumo Hatake was an invincible war god, she knew how many times Sakumo Hatake had been injured.
Not to mention the distant past, just that battle against the Third Kazekage—although the Third Kazekage was heavily injured, Sakumo Hatake hadn’t fared much better.
It was only because Sakumo Hatake had Tsunade as a healer that he recovered in a few days, whereas the Hidden Sand Village needed a month or two to treat the Third Kazekage.
With this disparity, it made Sakumo Hatake appear as an invincible war god.
“Alright, I’m leaving now.
You must hold the Hidden Sand Village; don’t give them any opportunities!”
Sakumo Hatake gave one final instruction, then immediately began his journey.
He had to return to the Village at the fastest speed and then immediately head to the Iwagakure battlefield.
After all, time waits for no one.
If he was a second late, the Iwagakure battlefield might be raided!
Konoha Village.
“This Explosion Release…
is it actually this strong?”
Hiruzen Sarutobi had stayed up all night studying Deidara’s Ninjutsu and couldn’t help but wonder.
He hadn’t expected Explosion Release to be this strong.
Even if he were to face Deidara, provided the opponent had no hidden cards and only used the Ninjutsu recorded in the battle reports, it would be very difficult for him to defeat the opponent.
He also put aside his initial contempt and began to treat Deidara as an opponent who needed to be taken seriously.
Hope you will understand and I really loved that previous name BTW.
