Hiruzen stared at Eaton. He wanted to see some clues from Eaton's expression and he already had an extremely bad feeling in his heart.
On the other side.
Shikaku stared at Eaton. His reaction was faster. He looked at Aoba, who was standing on the side, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
"It's like this..."
Eaton stared coldly at Hiruzen. He did not feel that this person's shock was real at all. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like he was cooperating with him to act.
It could only be said that his acting was really good!
It was clearly he who sent them, sensor ninjas, to the battlefield.
But now he looked very innocent.
It was as if he did not know anything.
This kind of thing.He could not accept it in his heart.
"When we arrived at the front line, we had already set up our tents. At that time, our Captain, who is the Hokage's Anbu Captain, told us to wait for Iwagakure to attack!"
Eaton said what he was angry about.
When he said these words.
He also stared at Hiruzen coldly.
He believed that the Hokage's Anbu Captain's decision was Hiruzen's decision. There would not be any accidents. He definitely had not wronged Hiruzen.
As a result, there was a trace of aggressiveness in his tone.
When Hiruzen heard this, his face also calmed down. He knew that this was what he said, and he did not feel that there was any problem.
He could not declare war against Iwagakure in advance.
In that way, they still have some chances to recover, and the war would not start!
Only if there was no war.
Then, as the Hokage, he would not have any bad political achievements. Even if he did not make any contributions but he must not make any mistakes, so he could continue to sit firmly in the Hokage position.
"We are just like this in the tent, waiting for Iwagakure to attack. Sandaime-sama, do you know what the funniest thing is?" When Eaton spoke of his emotions, his tone was already filled with dissatisfaction. Moreover, he no longer had that much respect for Hiruzen, so he did not care about his tone at all.
"What?" Hiruzen seemed to have been led by Eaton's nose as he directly asked without thinking.
"That is, we really did wait for Iwagakure's surprise attack!"
Eaton widened his eyes as he spoke.
His eyes were filled with anger.
Right now, he felt that Hiruzen's "broad view" was to send them to their deaths.
"Hiss..."
Shikaku sucked in a breath of cold air. There was already a picture in his head. He had already guessed what kind of scene this was. A group of Konohagakure ninjas who were usually in charge of collecting information was attacked by Iwagakure's combat ninjas.
This must be extremely painful!
Together with the words 'All dead' that Eaton had just said.
Now he probably knew what was going on here.
"We were attacked by extremely powerful firepower. The number of Iwagakure ninjas is at least four or five times that of us. Moreover, they were well-trained combat troops. It is not something that we, who usually read memories and collect information, can compare with!" Eaton said coldly.
"When you said all dead, could it be..." Hiruzen suddenly widened his eyes, and panic flashed in his eyes. At this time, he was a little afraid in his heart and realized the seriousness of the matter. He did not expect Iwagakure did not even negotiate and directly launched an attack. This did not conform to common sense at all!
It was completely out of his expectations.
Based on his understanding of Onoki.
Before the war, there was time to meet, negotiate, and bargain.
He had even prepared himself for Onoki to open his mouth like a lion. If he could solve the problem with compensation, it would not be a problem.
There was no such thing as compensation.
Then he would lower his head.
This was not a problem for him.
As long as he could keep his position as the Hokage, it would be fine.
But...
He had never expected this.
Onoki didn't even negotiate and directly launched a sneak attack.
"This is starting a war!"
Hiruzen said coldly. He already understood why Eaton had come back this time. He also understood why there was resentment in Eaton's tone of voice.
It was clear that he was blaming his decision-making mistakes.
However.
This was indeed his mistake.
Hiruzen was very clear.
He was responsible.
"Sandaime-sama, you are right. They are going to start a war, and they are going to start a war from the very beginning. You know that Iwagakure is coming to us to start a war and many ninjas can be sent out, but why do you let us sensor ninjas take the lead?" Eaton gritted his teeth and asked.
As soon as this question came out.
Hiruzen immediately fell silent.
He did not speak.
After all, there was really no way to say what he was thinking.
On the other side.
Shikaku stared at Eaton doubtfully. He has the same question in his head. Why didn't Hiruzen send out some more powerful people?
He did not understand this decision at that time.
However, he did not ask Hiruzen.
Now that Eaton had asked this question, he followed along and listened. He had to know the answer here.
"Sandaime-sama!"
Seeing that Hiruzen did not speak, Eaton was even more certain of the latter's guilty conscience. His tone immediately became unfriendly as he stared fixedly at Hiruzen's face.
"Don't tell me you want to sacrifice us?"
Eaton directly asked what he wanted to ask. He didn't mind the matter of tearing his face apart anymore. Now that he had returned to Konohagakure, he had already realized that this realization was completely different from what Aoba had said.
"How is this possible!"
Hiruzen immediately shook his head. He did have this kind of thought in his heart, but it was impossible to admit it under such circumstances. As long as he admitted it, he would have a problem.
"There is no such thing!"
Hiruzen denied again. After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath and said, "This situation is really beyond my expectations. I really did not expect that Iwagakure would suddenly launch a sneak attack..."
Aoba looked at Hiruzen silently, as if he was an outsider, not saying a word.
Indeed.
Hiruzen's judgment was right.
Normally speaking.
Onoki was here to negotiate.
However.
Aoba catalyzed the process. He took the lead in attacking Iwagakure as a Konoha ninja. This also allowed the story to quickly enter this stage.
