"That would only delay them since all they would need to do would be to rebuild it and the problem would just come back. Our best bet is to defend Nami no Kuni even if it is just a buffer Country between us and Kiri we need to defend it. If we are able to fight off the attack then Kiri may give up believing that it too much trouble to take over". said Tsuande
"That is risky Hokage-sama since we may lose vital man power to do so and weaken us further". spoke Homura
"Do we know what kind of force Kiri is sending to invade Nami no Kuni?" asked Inoichi
"According to Jiraiya, Kiri is sending a force of about twenty ships and a force of eight hundred Shinobi's the ships will be loaded with volley guns as well". said Tsuande
"If that the case it would take at lest a four divisions of our Shinobi's to fight off that attack,we can't afford to send that many of our Shinobi's to fight for that Country. I believe that the correct option is to follow Danzo-san suggestion and destroy the bridge, we can always send in a demolition team to destroy the bridge again should they rebuild it". said Koharu
"That won't work either, since if we do destroy the bridge Kiri will rebuild it, then they would probably place a heavy guard on the bridge to prevent it being destroyed. Hell they don't even need to rebuild the bridge since they could still use Nami no Kuni as a staging point for attacking Konoha and have their ships just transport their Shinobi's across and attack us anyhow. No I think the Baa-chan option is the best one to do". spoke Konohamaru
"But we can't afford to send a force large enough to defend Nami no Kuni, since Orochimaru and his allies could use the opportunity to attack our main line and with our limited numbers, we wouldn't be able to stop them which could be exactly what he hopping for". spoke Koharu trying to reason with the others that Nami no Kuni was not worth saving
"That is why I believe that we should only send of a few teams made up of our best Shinobi's to help defend Nami no Kuni, since if we do the quality of the Shinobi's that we send will make up for the lack of numbers that we are unable to send. This way we will not weaken our main lines and at the same time stand a chance of fending off Kiri attack". said Tsuande
"But that will still weaken us if we send our best Shinobi's to defend that Country. Not only that but we be risking losing our best Shinobi's just to defend one Country, one that not even our Ally and who turned their back on us years ago. I believe that your letting your emotions rule you in this decision due to the connection that Country had with the Kyuubi container, and the fact that it is where his empty grave is". spoke Danzo since he believed that this was a foolish mistake that Tsuande was making and she was allowing her emotions to rule her again
When Danzo had finish speaking the room became very tense, since Danzo had mention Naruto which of course was a very touching subject to say around certain people. Especially Tsuande since the last person to mention Naruto was a young Chunin who had muttered something bad about Naruto in front of Tsuande.
The poor fool was still unable to walk or move correctly since Tsuande had practically broken every bone in his body.
Within a few moments after Danzo had finish speaking a massive Killing Intent was felt in the room which was coming from Tsuande which cause everyone to freeze at how thick it was.
"Are you questioning my leadership skills and ability to rule this village Danzo, because I would be well in my rights to call you out by right combat, since what you said borderlines on treason" snarled Tsuande
This was an old law which stated that if someone was to question the leadership of the Hokage and his/her ability to rule Konoha. Then the person or The Hokage had the right to challenge the other to right by combat, this was only used once when Uchiha Madara challenged Senju Hashirama, The Shodaime Hokage for the title of Hokage.
"No Hokage-san, I apologise for my comment". said Danzo after which he frowned since he knew that as strong as he was Tsuande was stronger. Especially since she was younger than he was and he could not move as well as he use to in his prime. Not to mention he could not afford to fight Tsuande for the title, since if he did it would reveal that he had transplanted Uchiha Shisui arm and eye to his own body. As well as force him to use his secret weapon which in turn would not go well with many people in the village, if they found out about either the arm or the eye in which he could be very well be accused for treason for doing that.
Tsunade just frowned knowing full well that he was not sorry for what he said
"Hokage-sama do we know when the fleet is to arrive at Nami no Kuni". asked the ANBU captain who was trying to change the subject, so that noting violent would happen since he knew that The Hokage was one step away from killing Danzo.
"According to Jairiya the fleet is said to be leaving in about ten day's time, and it take another five to get from Mizu no Kuni to Nami no Kuni". said Tsunade turning away from Danzo.
"Who exactly are you going to send to help defend Nami no Kuni?" asked Hana
"Before I say who I be sending there, I would like to give them and anyone else who wish's to go on the mission a chance to volunteer". said Tsuande after which as soon as she finish speaking a number of people stood up to volunteer for the mission.
"Hokage-sama I would like to volunteer for the mission to defend Nami no Kuni Yosh!" said Lee as he stood up
"Hogkage-sama I too would like to volunteer for the mission" said Neji who stood up, Neji traditional white and black Hyūga robes and still had the same long brown hair
"You can count me in as well as well as my team" said TenTen as she stood by her old teammates; Tenten wore brown Shinobi pants, along with iron guard fingerless gloves and elbow guards (that were standard wear for ANBU) as well as fishnet shirt with a midrift tank over it and a sleeveless leather jacket and a scroll around her lower back, she also kept her her in her traditional bun hair style
