Chapter 96: The Beginning of the War
In the space of a month, the situation in the ninja world has changed dramatically. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Just four or five days after the fifth class left Konoha, the three generations of Hokage received the news that Sand Hidden Village and Fog Hidden Village were attacking Konoha one after another.
Inside the Hokage's office.
The three generations of Hokage sat in their office chair with an embarrassed expression, and next to them stood the three elders including Shimura Danzo.
Seeing that all the shinobi in the village had arrived, the three generations of Hokage took a puff of his pipe and stood up from his office chair: "I came today to discuss a matter with you. ”
"Because it is about the safety of Konoha, our elder group does not dare to draw conclusions easily, so we have summoned everyone here to listen to everyone's opinions. Mito Menyan said.
Is Konoha at stake?
After hearing these words, many people present couldn't help but gasp.
Among the many possibilities, I'm afraid that only that incident can endanger Konoha's safety!
Thinking of this, the various shinobi turned their eyes to the three generations of Hokage who were about to speak. There are even shinobi praying that it will not happen.
"It's a pity that after receiving a report from the Dark Ministry, our allies, the Sand Hidden Village and the Fog Hidden Village, have already made an undeclared war against Konoha. The third Hokage glanced at everyone present and said with a serious face.
"What?"
Even though many Shangninja were mentally prepared, at this time, after hearing this explosive news, these people were still shocked and almost jumped.
"Hokage-sama, why did the Kirist Shinobi and the Sand Shinobi declare war on us?" asked one of the Shinobi, puzzled.
At this moment, only three years have passed since the end of the Second Shinobi War. The hard-won peace is fleeting, and many ninjas can't understand why there is always a group of people in the ninja world who are keen to provoke wars.
"I don't know. The third Hokage took his pipe in his mouth, revealing a sad expression, "I have already ordered the dark ninjas to investigate, but now, more importantly, how should we go to the left and right of the two ninja villages in the region." ”
"Hokage-sama, where are the Kirist Shinobi and Sand Shinobi now?" Hachiki Sakushige asked the crux of the question.
"The main force of the Fog Ninja is still one hundred and fifty kilometers away from Konoha, but according to the report of the Shadow Ninja, the Seven Ninja Swords of the Fog Hidden Village have already taken the lead and are the first to approach Konoha. ”
"Ninja Seven?"
After hearing this name, even Hachiki Shuomao, who was known as "Konoha White Fang", couldn't help but exclaim.
The ninja sword is seven people, and any one of them is at the level of elite ninja. If the seven of them join forces, even the three generations of Hokage at their peak will not be able to defeat them.
"Teacher, why is it that the Fog Hidden Village has entered our Fire Country so far that our Shadow Ninja is aware of it?" In the corner, Orochimaru clasped his hands and said quietly.
"This is suspicious. The third Hokage tipped his pipe and knocked on the table, "I've already sent someone to find out the situation, so I'll put this doubt aside for the time being." ”
"What about Shinobi? Where is Shinobu now?" asked Kato, standing up.
"Compared to the menacing Mist Shinobi, the Sand Shinobi seems to be much slower. The vanguard of the Sand Ninja is two hundred kilometers away from Konoha, and the main force of the Sand Ninja seems to be still stationed in the Scarlet Valley, the territory of the Land of the Wind. The third Hokage said.
Compared to the strong army of mist ninjas, the weak army of sand ninja seems to be weak and not worth mentioning. However, there are three generations of Kazekage in command of the Sand Ninja army, (the three generations of Hokage and Konoha don't know about the disappearance of the three generations of Kazekage) The three generations of Hokage still dare not underestimate the attack power of the Sand Ninja.
"Now that we know the location of the two enemies, the next step is to discuss countermeasures. Shimura Danzo, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.
Shimura Tuanzang's words fell, and the people below immediately couldn't hold back.
"Hokage-sama, I'm willing to go to the front line to fight against the Kiristin. ”
"Hokage-sama, let me lead the troops. ”
……
Seeing the dozens of upper ninjas scrambling to express their positions, the three generations of Hokage cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "Half an hour ago, I have discussed with the three elders, and the preliminary opinion is: Orochimaru led five hundred ninjas to the western front to resist the sand ninja, and Jiraiya and Hachiki Sakumo led eight hundred ninjas to the eastern front to resist the fog ninja. I wonder what you think?"
"Listen to Hokage-sama's orders. ”
Dozens of Shangnin expressed their stance in unison.
Seeing that the shinobi who participated in the meeting had no objections, the three generations of Hokage and Shimura Danzou nodded.
"Three generations, where did Jiraiya go?" Glancing at the dozens of shinobi in the audience, Koharu didn't see Jiraiya's figure, and then asked the three generations of Hokage.
"He's on a mission. The third Hokage closed his eyes and said, "However, I have already sent a dark ninja to inform him, and I believe that he will be able to return to Konoha tonight." ”
"Since there are no objections, let's adjourn. I will inform you of the specific arrangements separately. The three Hokages spat out a puff of green smoke.
"Yes. ”
After receiving the order of the three generations of Hokage, the participating shinobi walked out of the Hokage's office one after another.
"Hokage-sama. ”
Just as the three generations of Hokage were about to turn around, a voice stopped the three generations of Hokage.
"It's broken, is there something wrong with you?" the third Hokage looked at Kato Broken with a smile.
"Hokage-sama, the fifth class is still in the country of grass, so you can ...... it if you don't use it," Kato said worriedly.
"Break, you know, the war is coming, and we can't care about so much. The third Hokage interrupted Kato's words and said in a tactful tone.
Although, there are two Rising Stars and one Pillar Force in the fifth class, however, with the secret protection of the shadow ninjas, the three generations of Hokage are not very worried about the safety of the four people in the fifth class.
Compared with the safety of the fifth class, what is more urgent at present is to discuss how to deal with the attack of the fog ninja and the sand ninja. This is also a headache for the three generations of Hokage.
"Doesn't that mean that Konoha is ready to give up the fifth class?" said Kato Tsukasa with a little excitement.
"Break, the four people in the fifth class are all Konoha ninjas, and Konoha will not give up on them. However, Konoha really doesn't have the extra energy to take care of them now. ”
"But ......"
"What's more, the fifth class now has the protection of four shadow ninjas. The third Hokage patted Kato's broken shoulder, "I know you're worried about their safety. It's just that now you have more important things. ”
"More important things?"
"That's right, this time, you are the deputy commander of the battlefield on the Western Front where Orochimaru is located, as for your three subordinates, don't go to the front line for the time being. The three generations of Hokage looked at Kato Tsuru with hope, "The battlefield on the Western Front is all up to you and Orochimaru." ”
"Please rest assured, Hokage-sama, Orochimaru-sama and I will definitely not let Sand Shinobi get even half a step closer to Konoha again. Kato swore firmly with broken eyes.
