Don't think that the Uchiha clan now controls the Konoha Guard.
But the village simply won't listen to their opinions on some crucial decisions.
The Uchiha and Senju clans actually hate war the most.
Because once a war breaks out, their strength will be severely weakened.
The village would almost always leave some difficult enemies to them.
The reason why the Senju clan became like this was because too many ninjas in the family died during the First World War. Even Senju Tobirama died in the First World War, causing their strength to suddenly weaken.
If Uzumaki Mito was not still in the Senju clan.
Maybe the Senju clan no longer has the opportunity to come here for meetings.
After the Uchiha and Senju clans expressed their opinions, some clan heads who had a good relationship with the Hokage expressed their suggestions.
In particular, the head of the Nara clan made many suggestions.
Each suggestion is well-reasoned and logically clear.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was very satisfied. There were many things he had not thought of, but the head of the Nara family had taken them all into consideration.
I have to say, if you ask which family of ninjas in Konoha has the highest IQ, it must be the ninjas of the Nara clan.
"According to the intelligence collected by Anbu, the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind are planning to join forces. After we enter the Land of Rain, we will most likely face pressure from three parties, so I do not recommend intervening in the war too early."
"We can wait for the Wind Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom to attack the Rain Kingdom for a while, and then choose to take action, allowing both sides to consume each other's strength." said the patriarch of the Hyuga family.
The Hyuga family has always been conservative.
"Hokage, our strength is not weaker than that of the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind.
Even if we add the Land of Rain, their number of ninjas is not much more than ours.
So I think we should take the initiative and seize some of the rich land of the Land of Rain first, then build a stronghold based on it and prepare for a protracted war."
"With the strong support of Konoha, the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind will basically not attack us. After all, the area of the Land of Rain is not small, enough for the three of us to divide, so we only need to counter the pressure from the Land of Rain."
"The Rain Country is at war with the three major countries at the same time. No matter how strong Hanzo is, he can't do anything to our three countries."
"If we don't take action in advance and wait for the Wind Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom to occupy the fertile land of the Rain Kingdom, can we directly attack their strongholds and then seize the fertile land?"
The head of the Nara family immediately raised objections.
If we want to fight, we must strike first.
Now Hanzō of the Salamander is called a demigod in the ninja world. Both his ninjutsu and taijutsu are extremely terrifying. Under his leadership, the Rain Country already has the strength of a great power.
If the Rain Country wasn't too small and had limited resources, the number of ninjas that could be trained would also be limited.
The Rain Country might already have the strength of a great power.
But no matter how strong the Rain Country is now, it is impossible to compete with the three major ninja countries alone.
"Moreover, the Thunder Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom have always been at odds.
Even if the Earth Kingdom attacks the Rain Kingdom, it dare not send out all its troops.
They also have to be wary of the Thunder Kingdom.
The number of troops that can be sent to the Rain Kingdom is extremely limited.
I also support going directly into the Rain Kingdom and occupying the resource-rich land first."
The Akamichi clan leader immediately agreed.
The Earth Kingdom and the Thunder Kingdom have always been at odds with each other. If the Earth Kingdom dares to launch a large-scale attack on the Rain Kingdom, resulting in insufficient domestic defense forces, the Thunder Kingdom will definitely send troops directly to attack the Earth Kingdom.
"Hokage, the initiative in war is very important. As long as we in Konoha can seize the initiative, we can reduce a lot of casualties." The patriarch of the Yamanaka clan said immediately.
The Ino-Shika-Chō families have always been closely connected, with the Nara family at the head.
Soon after, many family leaders expressed their opinions, most of whom supported launching a war early.
"We absolutely cannot delay and must seize the initiative in the war."
After all the families had expressed their opinions, Sarutobi Hiruzen made the final decision.
"Next we have to formulate a detailed battle plan and make unified deployment."
Soon the entire conference room began to brainstorm and develop a specific battle plan.
...…
When Jiraiya returned home, he found Tsunade already in his house, cooking.
"I'm back. The food will be ready soon. Go inside and take a rest first."
Seeing Jiraiya coming back, Tsunade said with a sweet smile.
"I'll help you."
Jiraiya replied, washed his hands, and walked into the kitchen.
Tsunade is now chopping vegetables.
The fullness of her breasts was trembling slightly, and her buttocks were raised high.
Jiraiya couldn't help but walk behind Tsunade, stretched his hand in front of him, and gently placed it on it.
"I'm cooking, stop making trouble."
Tsunade stiffened and said shyly.
"This is how you can test your cooking skills."
Jiraiya said with a smirk.
After the meal was ready, Tsunade's face turned red with shame and her legs went weak.
"You just came back now. What did the teacher ask you to do?"
Tsunade asked as she helped Jiraiya serve his meal.
"The teacher called me over today to conduct a Jōnin assessment on me."
Jiraiya took a bite of his food before answering.
"Did you pass?" Tsunade asked nervously.
"Is there any need to ask this? Don't you still believe in my strength?"
Jiraiya said as he placed the Jōnin forehead protector on the table.
"After training for a while longer, I will also be taking the Jōnin exam. I won't be left behind by you for too long."
Tsunade saw the Jōnin forehead protector and envy appeared in her eyes.
"Don't envy me. I believe you will get your own Jōnin forehead protector in no time."
Jiraiya still has great confidence in Tsunade.
The village's Jōnin examination would definitely not be a problem for Tsunade.
"I passed the Jōnin test today. This is a happy event. Do you have anything to reward me with?"
After dinner, Jiraiya hugged Tsunade, raised his chin and looked into Tsunade's eyes and asked.
Tsunade's eyes were full of shyness, but also endless love.
"When you went to take the Jōnin assessment, did you tell me in advance? How could I have anything to reward you now?"
Tsunade whispered.
My heartbeat is speeding up and my breathing is becoming rapid.
"How about you rub my back today?" Jiraiya said.
"I can rub your back, but you can't do that to me."
"If you can do that, I'll rub your back."
Tsunade hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Tsunade was still a little reluctant to do the last thing.
It wasn't that she didn't want to give herself to Jiraiya.
But she was a little afraid of this kind of thing and was not mentally prepared.
Jiraiya didn't push Tsunade either.
It's just a matter of time, no need to push it too much.
This kind of thing is best done when both parties are willing.
