HxH: God of Choice System

Chapter 353: Angry Sarutobi

Since it was the Shinobi world war, each village compete to add land to their territory.

The five great villages were the leaders of the shinobi world.

And almost all of the villages were hostile to each other.

In the northern forest in the land of fire, a team of ninjas from Konoha responsible for supplying to the frontlines was suddenly in disarray as something exploded out of nowhere.

The Chunin in charge detected the danger, but he was seriously injured non the less.

At this time, dozens of enemies appeared, and the team which was composed of five Chunin and Ten Genin was defeated and all their items were lost.

At the Hokage Tower, in the Hokage’s office, Hiruzen Sarutobi was currently sitting at his desk hearing the recent report.

“Hokage-sama, recently, one of our supply teams was ambushed near the border and all of them were killed and the items they had were taken. We still don’t know which village did this.”

“Immediately set up an investigation team.” Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted as he slammed his hand on the table.

“Hokage-sama, we lack personals, almost all Jonin are on the frontlines.”

Hiruzen thought about it and said: “Go to the Roots and ask Danzo to come over.”

Danzo arrived not long after and said: “Hiruzen, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?”

Hiruzen said: “Yesterday, one of our supply teams was ambushed near the border and we suffered heavy losses. You already know this, right?”

Danzo nodded: “Well, I received the report.”

Hiruzen said: “I don’t know who did it, so we’re setting up an investigation team. At the same time, we need a new supply team.”

“How many people?” Shimura Danzo asked.

“The initial plan is to have 22 people, 15 in the supply team and 7 in the investigation team. In addition, they must be accompanied by two Jonin leaders to ensure the supply’s safety.” Hiruzen explained.

“Good arrangement.” Shimura Danzo nodded.

“Currently, all Jonin are on the frontlines and we lack personals here, so I need to borrow some of you people.”

Danzo sighed helplessly: “Hiruzen, most of my people are currently out on missions and I don’t have many people left. I’m afraid that I can’t help you.”

Hearing this, Hiruzen’s face fell as he said: “Danzo, it’s not time to fight with me. The village is in a crisis now, do you really want to stand by and watch?”

Sarutobi was getting angry and Danzo quickly replied: “Hiruzen, you misunderstood. As the leader of Root, I have always seen it as my responsibility to protect the village. I sent almost all my men out as the war started and I don’t have many people at hand to send out.”

Hiruzen waved his hand as he didn’t want to hear any more nonsense and asked directly: “In a word, how many people do you have?”

Danzo pondered for a bit and said: “Well, I have seven at most, and it will take two days to call them back.”

Hearing this, Hiruzen said: “Then the investigation team will be left to you.”

Danzo nodded and said: “No problem. What about the supply team? You still need 15 people, where will you find them?”

Hiruzen said: “We can only call some people from the frontline. The items need to be prepared and that will take two to three days before the team can be dispatched.”

Danzo said: “Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin, Minato’s students, are still in the village and they can be part of the supply team.”

Hiruzen asked: “Uchiha Obito was seriously injured before, how is he currently?”

“I heard that after Tsunade’s treatment, he almost recovered,” Danzo replied.

“Well, I will arrange for the two of them to be part of the logistic team,” Sarutobi said.

Danzo said: “Besides those two, there is another person you can use.”

“Who?” Hiruzen asked curiously.

Shimura Danzo replied: “It’s the guy named Allan, he’s been in the village for a while, and I sent someone to investigate him before. Although we didn’t find anything about him, his behavior was quite normal, and didn’t do anything suspicious while staying here. I think that since he wants to stay in the village, he should do something about it. After all, our village doesn’t support idlers.”

Hiruzen thought about it for a bit and said: “Okay, I will ask him when the time comes. If he doesn’t agree, we can’t force him to do it.”

“Then I will go back first.” Danzo left.
