The Hokage Building...

The same conference room as before, but this time, everyone fell silent...

No one expected that the coalition would make such a determination to invade the Land of Rain in advance to intercept Konoha's troops - although White Fang exchanged his own death for enough price, it is undeniable that this battle has made Konoha absolutely passive...

The strategy to divide and destroy the enemy one by one has failed, and outside Konoha Village, the allied forces of the three countries have already arrived in the city, and the tragic attacks have been launched round after round...

Fortunately, there are other strong men in Konoha - with the efforts of Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and still Uchiha Eagle, the three generations of Hokage personally supervised the battle, which thwarted the spirit of the coalition army... Konoha, who can fight against the Three Kingdoms at the same time, has also been hit quite hard.

In about three days, the number of shinobi lost by Konoha was close to more than half of the number lost in World War II.

If this continues, even Konoha, the strongest in the ninja world, can't afford to consume for too long...

It's time to come up with countermeasures and make a decision!

"Everyone, tell us what you think."

Ape Fei was wearing battle armor, and he sat there with a serious face, firmly guarding the bottom line in everyone's hearts.

"There is no possibility of calling for help in the current situation."

The young elder shook his head.

"Konoha can only rely on a favorable defensive posture as much as possible now..."He paused, and then continued, "This is a war of endurance, and we can only hold on silently. ”

Ape Fei listened to his account in silence, then nodded noncommittally, and then turned his gaze to the others.

"Martial arts is certainly a sticking policy."

This time, it was some dying old man who spoke.

"But if you just blindly fight hard, Konoha Village will also suffer a serious blow..."The old man shook his head, as if lamenting the passage of time

"Konoha can't afford any more losses, and if the war continues on top of that, it will soon exhaust the prosperity that Konoha has accumulated over the years."

"What do you think?"

There was still no emotional fluctuation in Ape Fei's voice.

The old man took a deep breath, exhausting all his courage before he spoke slowly

"I thought it would be better to take the initiative to make peace... Even if it costs something, at least Konoha will be able to get safety during this time..."

"Stupid!"

At the long table of the meeting, there was an immediate rebuttal!

"After the Battle of Pingdingshan, there is no possibility of peace in Konoha now, or do you have any other plans!?"

“… What if we propose an exchange..."

"Exchange of combat personnel..."

… That's right, the meaning of the elder couldn't be clearer - what if, in exchange for one of the Thousand Hands True Bravery, or one of the Bo Feng Shui Gates, the other party's withdrawal of troops!

“…”

And so, everyone fell silent again... Risking someone else's life for your own safety doesn't seem like something hard to accept... After all, they would rather hand over the so-called "future" than sacrifice more tangible interests.

"Click, click, click..."

Steady and powerful footsteps came, and on the other side of the gate, a pair of young hands, with a slight force, pushed open the door, which symbolized supreme power.

In the past, that face with a playful smile was all too familiar to everyone, but this time, when he actually appeared in front of everyone, all the elders subconsciously looked away.

Probably... They also have a minimum sense of guilt.

"Have you already decided?"

There was a chill in his voice that was even more chilling than ever—and of course, it deepened everyone's fear of him.

"Really brave..."

"Needless to say."

He raised his right hand, interrupted Sarutobi's speech, and then nailed the special kunai of the water gate to one end of the long table - this was the guarantee that the water gate left him to zuihou, and at any time, he could immediately come to Zhenyong's side

… At this moment, he finally retreated from all mature disguises.

"Look at the watergate in the hospital... And the vultures! ”

He stared straight at the three generations who were sitting on the top seat, and spoke in an almost commanding tone... But at this time, no one blamed him.

Then, he swept his gaze over each elder's face.

"Hehe..."Zhenyong sneered

"Ladies and gentlemen, I take my leave."

He turned around in a dashing manner, and everyone, including Ape Fei, bowed their heads.

This may be the young man's farewell to Zuihou.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― the dividing line of the one-man affair―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Outside the village, there is an endless ninja alliance that cannot be seen at a glance...

There has never been such a scene in the memory of this generation - if Onoki had not been injured, it would probably be a different story, but now, history gives a striking sense of similarity.

Once again, all the ninjas in the ninja world have united just to resist the power of Konoha!

Compared to the last time, more and more powerful ninjas joined the warband this time - the only benefit of that heavy loss for the coalition was that they finally put aside their disputes with each other for the time being, and put all Liliang into the battlefield on the Konoha side...

The siege has lasted for three days - three days of attrition, and finally let the Ninja Lian see the hope of victory... By yesterday evening, Konoha had lost all of its outlying positions, and from today onwards, they were going to attack the real foundation of Konoha Village!

And just when those bloodthirsty impulses could no longer be suppressed, the door of Konoha slowly opened...

From the corridor that was not deep, it was not Konoha who came out of the shadows.

-- There was only one person who came.
