Chapter 290: Someone is looking for trouble, there are so many stubborn people
Early the next morning.
Kanekura put his sword on his back and brought Shisui and Kimimaro to the Hokage Building.
The recruitment order has been issued, and people from the family have begun to arrive in the square in front of the building one after another.
The Fourth Hokage stood in front of the huge window of the office, looking calmly at the crowd gathered below.
"How many families have arrived?"
An ANBU immediately appeared and replied: "Hokage-sama, most of the families below that have received the recruitment order have arrived, only a few big families have not arrived yet."
"Yes." Minato replied lightly, and then waved the Anbu to retreat. The look in his eyes kept flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Suddenly, his eyes moved and he saw Jin Cang walking swaggering with two young boys.
Immediately afterwards, as if it had been agreed, big families arrived one after another.
First of all, there was Uchiha. A group of ninjas who were far more energetic than before came around the clan leader Uchiha Fugaku and occupied the best space.
No one said anything, they just gave way consciously.
There are really not many Uchiha families that can afford to offend them now.
Immediately afterwards, the Hyuga clan took the lead, and the ninjas of the separate families guarded both sides. The two clan leaders came one after the other.
However, Hinata Hizashi, the head of the branch family, seemed to have a bad look on his face.
Later, people from the Yuan Fei family came, and there were actually more people than the Uchiha and Hyuga families.
And it's not just them, they are followed by the three old families of Zhuludie, as if they are vassals.
Kanekura's lips curled up, the Sandaime was really low-key!
The third-generation old woman had a kind smile on her face and greeted everyone kindly.
He quickly came to Kanekura's side. The Sandaime's expression did not change at all, and he still looked kind. He nodded towards Kanekura: "I heard that you made a lot of noise yesterday. Are you not injured?"
Kanekura raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Sandaime, you are quite well-informed. It's okay. They are just a bunch of minions. Our hunting department can still deal with them!"
After looking carefully, he saw that he did not appear to be injured in any way, but was in good spirits. The Sandaime chuckled: "That's good, that's good!"
He smiled and walked away, but his heart was already cold.
He had received everything about yesterday's battle. The terrifying combat power made him feel that he seemed to underestimate him.
"I read that right. This guy is indeed the biggest stumbling block ahead of me. I didn't even win his name."
But then he sneered in his heart: "Hmph, do you think these are the only means the daimyo has? Then you are wrong."
"Before, I had to worry about how to deal with you. Now that you have killed so many daimyo, it is a small matter to die. It has refuted the daimyo's face. From now on, they will be enemies with you. No one needs to instigate them to kill them. you!"
Looking at the smiling Sandaime, Kanekura frowned slightly.
I always feel that this old man seems to have changed. Although he was mysterious and old-fashioned every day, he still made me feel a little close to him.
At the very least, this old man does have a strong sense of identification with the village and has done well in some aspects.
However, this time, for some reason, the other party gave him a strange feeling.
It was that feeling of meeting an enemy, and I had the urge to slap him to death just now.
Combining all the previous events with what Minato said yesterday, a cold look immediately filled his eyes: "Old man, I hope you won't do anything irrational, otherwise, I'm afraid that you won't be able to survive!"
With a creak, the door to the Hokage building opened, and several Anbu walked out first, followed by the hard-working Hokage Namikaze Minato wearing Hokage work clothes.
"You should all know the purpose of gathering everyone today, so let me briefly explain it."
Minato didn't waste any nonsense. He went straight to the point and said loudly: "The front line is tense and there is no need for people to stay in the village. If we cannot stop the enemy's counterattack, the consequences will be the same everywhere."
"So, I issue a recruitment order in the name of the Fourth Hokage. All qualified ninjas in the village will go to the front line to fight against the Akatsuki organization."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar below.
This is a desperate matter!
Even the village was ignored and no defensive force was left in case an enemy invaded.
Some people frowned and looked unhappy.
There are also some people who don't want to contribute at all, and have previously used various excuses to shirk.
"Lord Hokage!" The patriarch of a small family suddenly raised his hand with a fake smile on his face: "I have different opinions, should I take them seriously?"
Behind him, Jin Cang snorted and said disdainfully: "Inappropriate! The recruitment order has been issued and everyone has gone to the front line. What do you think? What qualifications do you have to give opinions?"
"you……"
The face of the patriarch of the small family turned red after being scolded, and a flash of fear flashed in his eyes after he saw it was Jin Cang.
But he still insisted: "Konoha Village values democracy, why can't I express my opinion? Can the Hokage-sama just issue unreasonable orders at will?"
There was already a cold look in Minato's eyes.
But he didn't say anything. With Kanekura here, he still needs to maintain his hokage bearing, so just let that kid do whatever he wants.
Sure enough, Kanekura sneered: "Okay, let's not mention that the Hokage should have the final say in Konoha Village. Otherwise, why choose Hokage? Can you still have the final say? Since you have an opinion, just say it and save others. I said I won’t let you speak.”
"I'm not afraid. It would be bad if Hokage-sama is misunderstood!"
There was a faint smile in Minato's eyes, and he nodded lightly: "Well, Kanekura is right, anyone can put forward an opinion, but whether to adopt it or not is up to me, the Hokage, to decide."
The words were said with absolute certainty, and the firmness in his tone caused the speaker's expression to change.
He knew that he had aroused the dissatisfaction of the Hokage, but thinking of the battlefield, he could only bite the bullet and said: "Lord Hokage, I have no other intention. I just feel that the village is our rear area after all, and we still need the necessary troops to stay behind."
Minato nodded lightly: "Are you done?"
"Uh...well, that's it!"
"Well, after studying this issue, we have decided not to leave any garrison force behind, and all personnel will support the front line."
Minato said forcefully: "If the front line is defeated, it will be useless no matter how many people are left behind. This matter goes without saying!"
"This...Hokage-sama..."
"Tsk, tsk~ You're not a coward, are you?" Jin Cang looked at him with evil intentions.
"What did you say? Of course I'm not timid!"
Just when Kanekura was about to speak, a voice suddenly came: "Hokage-sama, I wonder if everyone is supporting the front line this time, including Lord Kanekura?"
"Yeah~"
Jin Cang raised his eyebrows, someone else brought the fire to him. Is there really someone who is not afraid of death?
He turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a gloomy face looking over and sneered: "As far as I know, Mr. Kanekura seems to have never participated in the previous wars. Not only this, but even the previous wars, Mr. Kanekura There were probably a few times when I was absent.”
"Since someone can ignore the interests of the village, why hasn't Lord Hokage punished him accordingly?"
