Chapter 770: Army's Composition!
While the ninja world was waiting to see Konoha's response, three thousand Konoha ninjas gathered in the third training ground. Following the orders, everyone began arranging themselves in an orderly manner.
Facing this massive army were 6 ninjas, Nara Shikaku, Suzuki Fujin, Senju Renjiro, Hyuga Hoka and two more figures. While the ninjas moved, Shikaku said, "While they arrange themselves, I'll tell you about the army composition."
Fujin and others looked at Shikaku as he continued, "Needless to say, you're the commander-in-chief of the entire army. From the moment you leave Konoha to the moment you return, everyone in the army must follow your orders.
Renjiro will be your second in command. He'll basically serve the same role as you due to your inexperience in this regard."
Fujin and Renjiro already knew about their roles. Due to Fujin's performance the other day and several rumors floating around, pretty much everyone knew he would be the Commander-in-chief of the new army.
Shikaku continued, "Directly under you two would be the three Generals of your army. The army will be composed of 3 divisions, each led by one of the Generals. They are Hyuga Hoka, Sada Konomi and Kurama Illumi. You already know Illumi and Hoka very well, and I'm sure you have heard of Konomi too."
Fujin nodded and glanced at them. Having entered his 40s, age was visible on Illumi's face. However, he looked even more imposing than before. On the other hand, Konomi was a beautiful lady. She was from a civilian background and was a couple of years older than Kakashi's batch.
Fujin said with a smile, "Of course. It's good to see you again, Illumi-san. It's nice to meet you, Konomi-san. Belated congratulations on your promotion."
Illumi smiled and replied, "I always had high hopes for you, but I didn't think I'd be serving under you so quickly, haha. It's quite an honor to be a General in your army on your very first assignment."
