In the sports world, football clubs and basketball clubs need a window period if they want to win the championship.

When the main building blocks of the team are in their golden age, have outstanding physical fitness and possess both vitality and experience, the best window to win the championship is the combination of old, middle and young players.

This window is fleeting. In the first two years, the young people in the team may not have been tempered and have no experience, and in the later two years, the experienced players may have passed their golden age.

And this golden window doesn’t come easily.

After the Class of 1992, Manchester United’s youth training camp has not produced any talents who can take the lead; after the golden generation of Basala Masia, there has never been a player who can compare with Habaib.

The same is true for Sand Hidden Village.

Because of the butterfly effect, the Sandaime Kazekage did not die, the Red Sand Scorpion still had the possibility of returning to the village, and Rasa also gained experience because of the extra two years.

Today's Sunagakure Village has a high-end combat power that can be described as luxurious on paper, almost catching up with Konoha.

Of course, the lineup of Sunagakure Village is not without its shortcomings. Chiyo is old and frail, Rasa has little experience, and Fenfu can only be regarded as a disposable item.

When the two puppet masters meet ninjas like Hatake Sakumo, Gate Master, and Uchiha Mai, they have to give up. The only real peak powerhouse is the Sandaime Kazekage.

But no matter what, the lineup on paper is still very good, even better than when the village was first established.

A few days later, the troops of Sunagakure Village were finally assembled. The Third Kazekage personally went into battle, with Rasa, Red Sand Scorpion, and Hayakura as deputy commanders, a total of five thousand ninjas and puppet masters, and the country of fire.

The two elders Chiyo and Ebizo stayed behind, and the Jinchūriki's blessings were not used.

From this, it can also be seen that Sunagakure Village has completed the replacement of personnel, and those on the front line are young people who can rush and kill.

At the same time, because the number of ninjas in Sand Hidden Village is small and they are not suitable for away battles, in order to minimize the loss of personnel, Sand Hidden Village sent a number of top experts.

Such an all-star lineup completely shocked the entire ninja world after the news came out.

The Tsuchikage Onoki and the Third Raikage Ai burst into tears when they heard the news. We have been struggling for so long, and finally a ninja village responded to our invitation.

When fighting against Konoha, you can't be merciful. If you can do it shoulder to shoulder, you have to do it shoulder to shoulder.

At this moment, Konoha has turned into a mess.

Time was urgent and the task was urgent. Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately summoned the high-level officials and high-end combat forces in Konoha to the conference room to discuss the matter.

Two Hokage advisors, Hokage Assistant Danzo, Deputy Minister of ANBU Mai Uchiha, Konoha Security Minister Uchiha Fugaku, Sannin Tsunade Hime, former ANBU Minister Hatake Sakumo, Deputy Minister of Security, Jonin Squad Leader...

…

Crouching dragons, phoenixes, hatchlings, tigers, and unicorns gather together, it can be said to be a gathering of heroes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at everyone and felt a lot more at ease in his heart. Although Sunagakure Village is coming fiercely, I have so many fierce generals, so why should I be afraid?

"Ahem."

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed twice and said: "I believe everyone already knows what happened.

Sunagakure Village covets the fertile land of our Fire Country and shamelessly tore up the non-aggression treaty signed with us.

One day ago, the Sandaime Kazekage personally served as the commander-in-chief, leading the Red Sand Scorpion, his direct disciple Rasa, and the Burning Release Envoy Hagura, a total of five thousand ninjas, and came towards Konoha with great momentum.

Everyone, how do you deal with the enemy?"

In the conference room, including Sarutobi Hiruzen, almost everyone was not very nervous. They only thought that the attack of Sunagakure Village this time was no different from the previous attacks of Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village.

Sunagakure Village will send troops, it's expected, it's just a matter of time.

Look at those stinky fish and rotten shrimps in Sunagakure Village, one Jinchūriki, Chiyo didn't go into battle, only the Sandaime Kazekage led a few Five, what's there to worry about?

Can they beat Konoha? They can't, they don't have the strength.

Only Uchiha Mai realized the seriousness of the problem and felt that the visitor to Sunagakure Village was not evil this time, and that something serious might really be coming.

Everyone thought for a moment and exchanged opinions in whispers.

After a long time, Fugaku saw that no one had any intention to speak. Just as he was about to express his opinion first, he was pulled from under the table by Mai Uchiha next to him.

What's going on? Fugaku looked at Mai Uchiha with some confusion.

Mai Uchiha shook her head and signaled Fugaku not to express his opinions casually.

Fugaku was startled for a moment, then realized that Mai Uchiha probably had some special information.

Except for Ye Cang and Mai Uchiha, the leaders of Sunagakure Village have dealt with all of them in recent years.

When I went to Sunagakure Village to take the chunin exam, I met the Sandaime Kazekage, Rasa, and Scorpion of Red Sand. During their trip to the Rain Country, they even teamed up with Scorpion to kill the demigod Hanzo.

At this time, in the conference room, apart from Mai Uchiha, the last person he had interacted with was five or six years ago.

A few seconds passed, and Danzo, who was sitting on the right hand side of Sarutobi Hiruzen, took the lead and said: "It's just a Sunagakure village, what's there to worry about?

The Country of Wind is a bitter cold land with an extremely backward economy and a small cultivated area, which cannot provide much support to Sunagakure Village.

Kazekage leads the team, five thousand ninjas, it just sounds very bluffing. Of those five thousand people, I can guarantee that at least three thousand are puppet masters, who are very easy to target.

Moreover, in recent decades, Sunagakure Village has been in a strategic defensive state, and Sunagakure has invested considerable energy in adapting to the desert environment.

The landforms, weather, and environments of the two countries of Wind and Fire are very different. It is hard to say how much strength they can exert.

We only need to send a general and lead four thousand ninjas to resist, there is no need to mess up the position."

"That's right."

"What Danzo-sama said is absolutely true."

…

Danzo's words drew a chorus of echoes.

"What do you think about the deputy commanders of Sunagakure Village?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked again.

It is rare to see one coach and three assistant coaches.

Mito Kadenyan said without hesitation: "They are just a few very strong jounin.

The third generation Kazekage's personal disciple, the Sword Release Envoy Yekura, and the grandson of Chiyo, these three people are undoubtedly the mainstay of Sunagakure Village.

But if they can influence the outcome of a battle, I think it is unlikely.

There are many ninjas of this strength in Konoha Village, and the Uchiha and Hyuga clan alone have more than twenty people together.

Our margins far exceed the imagination of other ninja villages."

This is the bug in Konoha.

The elite jounin is the mainstay in every ninja village. It takes countless experiences and opportunities to cultivate one.

Ninjas of this strength are enough to stand alone and serve as deputy commanders on the battlefield. But because Konoha has two major blood families, it is easy to find twenty or thirty of them.

So far, Konoha has not really made any efforts to prevent the two major families from becoming stronger.

Now, it's time to dig your crotch.

Sarutobi Hiruzen quite agreed with Mito Kadoyan's words, nodded and said: "Based on the opinions of the two Hokage assistants and advisors, it is to send a top powerhouse as the coach, and then select a few from the Uchiha and Hyuga clans.

An elite jounin served as deputy commander.

A total of four thousand ninjas are enough to resist the invasion of Sunagakure Village. What do you think?"

"Very good."

"This lineup should be enough to resist the invasion of Sunagakure Village."

"Sending so many elite jounin is already giving them a lot of face."

…

There was a chorus of agreement in the conference room.

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was satisfied and was about to formally formulate an order, he suddenly heard a young man's voice in the conference room.

"I have a different opinion!"

Mai Uchiha, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly, then looked at Mai Uchiha, and asked with a pleasant look: "Mai, do you have any other comments to add?"

Uchiha Mai said different opinions, while Sarutobi Hiruzen said supplementary opinions. The meanings of the two are completely different.

"Before giving my opinion, I have one thing to ask."

Uchiha Mai glanced at Danzo and Mito Kadeni, and asked: "I wonder who of the two Hokage assistants and advisors would like to propose to be the leader of the resistance against Sunagakure Village?"

At this moment, there are many top-notch combat forces in Konoha on paper, including Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo, Mai Uchiha, Sakumo Hatake, Tsunade, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki.

However, due to various reasons, there were actually only two people who could be dispatched: Mai Uchiha and Sakumo Hatake.

Danzo looked directly into Mai Uchiha's eyes, without any fear, and said calmly: "That is of course the former ANBU Minister Hatake Sakumo.

Hatake Sakumo once fought into Sunagakure Village. His fighting style is very restrained by the puppet masters of Sunagakure Village, and he has rich experience in fighting the enemy.

I think there is no one more suitable to be the head coach than Hatake Sakumo, right?"

After a pause, Danzo added: "Tsunade is also a very suitable candidate.

Her magical power and medical skills can also restrain the puppet master of Sunagakure Village to a certain extent."

Just don't mention Uchiha Mai's name.

Danzo saw clearly that he was indeed disgusted by leaving Uchiha Mai in the village, but it was still possible to restrain him.
