As usual, this Jonin meeting was still held in the Hokage's office building.
Among the attendees, in addition to the heads of clans who had not gone to the battlefield, there were also ninjas like Ruchen who had just withdrawn from the battlefield and were about to be sent to other battlefields, or jonin who had been rotated to rest earlier.
When Chen came here in the morning, it was almost eight o'clock, and Mikoto and Kushina did not follow.
The three of them were having fun last night for too long... Well, sorry, to put it more bluntly, the three of them actually played Landlords for half the night last night.
So, early in the morning, while the two of them were still sleeping, Suo Xingchen came alone.
Sakumo came quite early. When Chen came over, he had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
As time passed, the Jonin who were still in Konoha gradually arrived.
"Then, let's start the Jonin meeting now." Looking at the crowd, the Sandaime Hokage said: "The commemorative monument ceremony has passed, and we will remember everything in the past.
But we have to continue Konoha's new fire. Nearly 80 new students from the Ninja School have graduated this time. Taking advantage of the current gap in the war, I am ready to put them into the battlefield. "
At this point in time, the graduation season for Ninja School students has long passed, but where did these new students come from
Naturally, it was spurred out for the war. Not to mention cannon fodder, it was almost the same.
It can only be said that these people are unlucky to graduate at such a time.
Before Chen graduated at that time, in order to let their group of genin adapt to killing in advance, the village specially asked the leading jounin to take them out to do tasks, but it was obvious that this group of people was not so lucky.
As soon as they graduate, they will go directly to the battlefield, and when they see blood for the first time, they will face ninjas from other countries.
Let’s not talk about strength, but there are many psychological qualities that are definitely not up to par.
On the contrary, as ninjas of Obito and Kai's generation who have set foot on the battlefield in the original time and space, it is very likely that they will miss the third ninja war.
Because compared with the original time and space, this war was four to five years earlier, and the current Obito group has only been in school for more than a year.
Of course, this group of people does not include Kakashi, because with his talent, sooner or later he will complete the tasks assigned by Chen and graduate early.
“Currently we don’t have so many jounin as mentors, so some of these people will be assigned to the chuunin team.
But as a mentor, I have said many times about the responsibilities that a jounin will bear, and you should be aware of it. The list of genin will be sent to you after the meeting. "
Chen watched in silence as the Third Hokage issued orders, but obviously, judging from the responsibilities he would bear, it was impossible to be a mentor now.
The meeting quickly went on item by item. Konoha was far away from the battlefield. Naturally, the Third Hokage would not discuss tactical issues too much. This was a matter for the commanders of each front. What he had to consider was to reinforce each battlefield from an overall perspective. and blending.
The Kingdom of Wind is doing okay. During this period, they won several battles and captured a jinchūriki. It can be said to be the battle zone with the most results.
But the situation in Tang Country is not so good.
The Country of Yu is mainly at war with the Hidden Cloud Village. As the commander, Danzo has many ninjas from major families and civilian ninjas under his command.
But the other party unreasonably sent out two jinchūriki.
The eight-tailed jinchuriki Kira is younger than his age, but has already highlighted his talent in controlling tailed beasts, while the two-tailed jinchuriki is a ninja of the same generation as the former eight-tailed jinchuriki, and is now at the peak of his strength.
Although the Third Hokage said it nicely, Danzo single-handedly fought against the Son of the Third Raikage and the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki... but the fact that he was injured and defeated on the front line could not be covered up.
All I can say is... Danzo is a good comrade, especially when it comes to conspiracy and intelligence gathering.
But war cannot be won by just a few conspiracies, strength is still the key.
It's obvious that he can no longer keep up with the young talents unless he starts a cheating journey.
Chen didn't know when Danzo started coveting the power of Sharingan and Wood Release, but it was obvious that at this time, his desire for personal strength and power was about to reach a peak.
This can be seen from his frequent contact with Orochimaru.
Naturally, the Third Hokage couldn't just sit back and watch the war in Yuno Country go bad, not to mention his best friend there, so after picking up the teacup on the table and taking a sip, he waved his pen and said:
"Men Yan, I will give you two thousand ninjas, and you must help Danzo stabilize the situation in the country of Yu."
"Yes." Mito Kadoyan nodded. As a senior advisor to Konoha, he had to step forward at this time.
I just don’t know how much strength he still has left after having been pampered for more than ten years.
The matter in Cloud Hidden Village was settled, and soon it was Kirigakure Village's turn.
The Third Hokage continued: "Under the leadership of Tsunade, Kirigakure's stronghold established in the Bear Country has been destroyed. Kirigakure Village has tightened its defense lines again and concentrated them in the Country of Yu and the Country of Waves.
The other party has been actively preparing for war recently, and it is very likely that they will continue to send reinforcements, but Commander Tsunade has been transferred by me and will go to the Kingdom of Wind next, so... "
"The supreme commander of the station appointed Hatake Sakumo, and..." The Third Hokage said this, paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "Uchiha Tatsumi."
Without giving everyone time to digest their shock, the Third Hokage continued: "Not only that, in this war with Kirigakure, in addition to the ninjas already sent to the front line, a certain number of sentient ninjas will also be sent."
After that, there were discussions about the deployment of other war zones and material issues. After the Jonin meeting ended, the Sandaime left Sakumo and Tatsumi behind.
Some confidential things and personnel configuration must not be said in public, even if there are no spies, it is inappropriate to do so.
"Here is the specific personnel list. I leave it to you two. I have also sent some more ninjas from the Hyuga clan to accompany you to the front line."
"In addition, in terms of supplies, the daimyos of the Land of Fire have recently provided support to a group of people. You don't have to worry about the shortage of weapons and food in the short term. Here is a list of supplies for food. These items will accompany you on your expedition in a week."
"Okay." Tatsu took the supply list from the Sandaime's hand, and now Sakumo was looking at the information about the ninjas in the list.
"Konoha expects you to win, but it will not blame you too much for the mistakes you made. Chen, this is the first time you have taken on this kind of responsibility. The village and I have very high expectations for you."
"I will try my best." Chen nodded seriously.
"Okay, I'll leave the Hidden Mist Village to you. Don't let me down."
…
…
After coming out of the Hokage's office building, Sakumo said with a smile: "The Sandaime said the same thing to me when World War II just started."
"Then what did Brother Sakumo say?" Chen was a little curious.
"Let me think about it." Sakumo lowered his head and thought for a moment, then pretended to be expressionless and whispered: "Oh."
"that's all?"
"Otherwise, how can I still say that I promise to kill the demigods?"
"Steady, brother." Chen gave the other party a thumbs up.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's confirm the supplies that have been prepared tomorrow. As for Tsunade... it's up to you to take care of it."
"Well, Tsunade-sensei is covering me."
As the frontline commander, Tsunade is undoubtedly the one who knows the situation in Kirigakure Village best.
Although when we get to the front line, we can understand the current situation according to the headquarters, but it is definitely right to ask Tsunade to familiarize herself with it in advance.
At the intersection of the road, Sakumo patted Chen on the shoulder, and then said: "Kakashi is your disciple. As a teacher, you can't always stay with Mikoto and Kushina for the past two days. One piece."
"I know, I know." Chen curled his lips and then whispered: "What about you, as a father, you can't always leave your son here and stay with Sister Axiu every day."
"I also want a daughter." Sakumo laughed, then patted Chen on the shoulder and walked towards his clan.
