Danzo had no objection to this.
His silence indicated his support; the Shimura clan would go to support the battlefield.
"Lord Hokage, urgent intel!!!"
Before arrangements could be finalized, the conference room door was violently thrown open. Everyone in the conference room frowned. Homura Mitokado, sitting beside the Third Hokage, unhappily reprimanded, "Why so frantic? What kind of behavior is that!!!"
"I apologize."
"Sir, Lord Hokage, urgent intel!!!"
The Communication Ninja then realized he was in a high-level meeting and that his recklessness would only bring shame to the Hokage. He quickly apologized and presented the newly received intel scroll.
"Mm."
The Third Hokage didn't mind his rashness, raising a hand to signal Homura Mitokado not to worry, and picked up the scroll to open it.
"Bang!!!"
Just as everyone was guessing what the intel contained, the Third Hokage suddenly stood up and slammed his palm on the table, his eyes showing indignation.
Urgent intel—everyone could guess that something big had happened. But to make the usually calm Third Hokage so angry meant the intel content was astonishing.
Everyone looked at the Third Hokage, guessing the content of the intel.
"Everyone, take a look. After the Land of Earth, the Land of Water has declared war on Konoha!!!"
Taking a deep breath to calm his emotions, the Third Hokage finally revealed the urgent intel in the scroll.
"Boom!!"
If the Land of Earth's declaration of war on Konoha was a deep-sea bomb, then the Land of Water's subsequent declaration of war on Konoha was like an atomic bomb dropped in the conference room, leaving everyone stunned and dizzy.
The problem with the Land of Earth hadn't been resolved yet, and on the other side, the Land of Water also declared war. This was not an accident but a premeditated act.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have declared war at the same time, which would directly lead Konoha into a three-front war.
If Konoha could still bear a two-front war, a three-front war would exceed Konoha's tolerance. The Land of Water's declaration of war was like stabbing Konoha in the back.
With a three-front war, even if Konoha had enough ninjas to resist, it wouldn't be able to mobilize too many resources to support the war in time. These war materials might not be noticed much in peacetime, but when war breaks out, the mobilization of resources becomes paramount.
Without enough ninjas, the war cannot be sustained, but without supplies, even with many people, the war cannot continue.
Konoha did not lack food, but various ninja tools needed to be purchased, and the consumption of ninja tools on the battlefield was equivalent to burning money!
"This..."
In the conference room, everyone was dumbfounded, unable to believe that the Land of Water would follow the Land of Earth in declaring war.
More seriously, the Hidden Mist Village ninjas had already entered the Land of Water's border.
"Lord Hokage..."
After the initial shock, everyone in the conference room looked at the Third Hokage. He was the backbone of the village, and at this moment, the Hokage's presence was especially important.
"The previous arrangements remain as usual. Danzo, Orochimaru, integrate your teams and immediately head to the front line."
The Third Hokage had experienced all sorts of major challenges in his life. After calming down, he proceeded to make a series of arrangements as usual.
"Tsunade!"
With arrangements made for the Land of Earth, the urgent matter now was how to counter the Land of Water's declaration of war.
"Sensei Hiruzen."
When the atomic bomb of the Land of Water's declaration of war was dropped, Tsunade knew the seriousness of the situation. This could be seen from her address; like Orochimaru, she called him "Sensei Hiruzen" instead of "Old Man Third."
"Mm."
The Third Hokage was quite confident in Tsunade, despite her personality flaws.
"Uchiha, Hyuga."
"Mito, Akimichi, Nara..."
The Third Hokage listed several great clan names before stopping. "The above clans will select and organize ninjas to quickly head to the front line to resist the invasion of the Land of Water."
The war with the Land of Water meant that it would be difficult for the village to mobilize additional forces for support. They could only rely on the great clans.
Fortunately, the great clans had strong foundations, so selecting enough troops was not a problem. As a result, the number of ninjas on the Land of Water front line would exceed those on the Land of Earth and Land of Wind front lines.
It seemed unfair, but no one raised any objections. A three-front war against three powerful ninja villages, and the most difficult to deal with was the Hidden Mist Village of the Land of Water!
"... Shikaku, I'm counting on you this time."
Tsunade could command from the front, but the strategist would be Shikaku Nara of the Nara clan.
Shikaku Nara nodded seriously. Although he was still very young at this time and had not been leading the clan for long, the Nara clan's intelligence was famous in the ninja world.
Therefore, Shikaku Nara was the most suitable military candidate to assist Tsunade in planning strategies. On the Land of Wind front, White Fang and Jiraiya were sufficient. On the Land of Earth front, there was Danzo. For the Land of Water front, the Third Hokage could only ask Shikaku Nara to join.
"Everyone go prepare. Get to the front lines as quickly as possible."
"Uchiha Ronglin, stay behind."
After quickly making a series of arrangements, the Third Hokage waved his hand, signaling the end of the meeting, then leaned back in his chair, as if he had aged several years in an instant.
"Don't cause trouble."
As Tsunade got up, she whispered.
Minato also looked at Ronglin with some worry (money) (Li), concerned that he would act recklessly.
Everyone knew about the feud between Ronglin and Hiashi Hyuga. Now that the Uchiha were being dispatched to the Land of Water front, Ronglin, as an Uchiha, would naturally follow.
But what would happen if he was with the Hyuga clan was anyone's guess.
From today's conflict, it was clear that Ronglin had openly broken ties with Hiashi Hyuga and Danzo.
If the two sides couldn't be appeased, the conflict would eventually escalate.
The Third Hokage did not keep Hiashi Hyuga behind because he believed Hiashi Hyuga would think from the Hyuga clan's perspective and know what he should do. His only concern was Ronglin.
The meeting ended, and everyone left the conference room with solemn expressions. Only Ronglin remained.
In the conference room, Ronglin stared intently at his teacup.
