Nara Lujiu's words suddenly made everyone present feel heavy.

For a while, the huge conference room was silent.

Because it is clear to everyone that this is no longer some alarmist, but a fact that is about to happen in the future.

Objectively speaking, Nara Shikaku's strength is not outstanding in the upper ninja now, but his words are very convincing, not only because his father was the squad leader of the upper ninja class and commanded all the upper ninja in Konoha.

What's more, because the people of the Nara family belong to the existence of high intelligence, because if you want to flexibly use the secret technique of the Nara clan's Yin Escape Family, the shadow technique, a high IQ is a necessary condition.

So at the beginning of the Third World War, Nara Shikahisa was promoted and allowed by the Konoha high-level to be able to discuss politics in the Land of Fire.

The three generations of Hokage have a very high opinion of Nara Shikaku, believing that he inherited the wisdom of his father.

It can be said that he is the military advisor in the minds of everyone present.

He also clearly told everyone: "Sand Hide will definitely attack Kikyo Castle."

"Then Lu Jiu, what do you think the other party is waiting for so much?" Tsunade asked solemnly with his hands on his chin.

"We think Sand Hidden is still waiting...... I think I'm afraid that in places we can't see, Sand Hide has already taken action. ”

"Even if that's true...... But we avoided without fighting, and kept defending Kikyo City, isn't there nothing Sha Yin can do with us? Tsunade asked rhetorically.

After all, Konoha has now raised the defensive alert level to the highest, and it is impossible for Sand Hide to sneak attack.

They can only make a strong attack.

“…… What if Shagakure can bypass our defenses? Nara Shikahisa pondered.

"You mean that Sand Hide may have raided from Kikyo Mountain?" Tsunade tried to guess along the other side's train of thought.

Kikyo Castle is built on the back of Kikyo Mountain, so if Sunain detours to Kikyo Mountain and then takes the opportunity to take Kikyo Castle, it is indeed possible to bypass the Konoha defenders of Kikyo Castle and cause a surprise attack.

"It's impossible...... We also have a considerable amount of vigilance in place, and we have set up a large number of enchantments around Kikyo Mountain...... Don't talk about a person, even the flying eagle of the sand hides doesn't want to pass past Kikyo Mountain. "The one who spoke was the class leader of Konoha this year's shinobi class, he was a senior shinobi in his 40s, named Takumi Ueno.

Takumi Ueno once shined in the Second Ninja World War, and he is also a well-known elite ninja.

"From Kikyo Mountain, I also think it's unlikely...... I think about it, and the only suspicion can only be the sand ninja team that has been noticed since yesterday. Nara Shikaku voiced his concerns.

In fact, the Konoha Shadow Department has always been in control of the all-round dynamics of the Sand Hidden Army, but whenever there is the slightest movement, a timely report can appear on Tsunade's desk.

Because Sha Yin's every move can involve Konoha's sensitive nerves now.

On January 23rd, there was a report from the dark part of Konoha that it was found that Sand Hide had dispatched several teams, but it did not move closer to Kikyo Castle.

In the end, although Konoha followed all the way, he didn't find the other party's abnormality.

On that day, Konoha had analyzed the intentions of the sand and hidden, but did not find any threat from the other party, and in the end, they could only conclude that the enemy might just be an ordinary patrol mission.

However, the attentive Nara Shikahisa believed that the enemy would not do anything useless, and during the day on January 24, he analyzed and concluded that the enemy might be manipulating the water source of Konoha.

Because the other party's route of travel, although disorderly, does "coincidentally" pass through all the rivers that eventually converge in Kikyo City.

Everyone knows that Shayin is good at using poison.

"About that...... After Lujiu told me during the day, I immediately tested all the water samples - Sha Yin was indeed not poisoned. Tsunade continued, "I did a second test in the afternoon, and I still didn't find any problems. ”

"Of course, I also have a guess that Chiyo's poison may be even more powerful...... So in the evening I went out again for a full examination, and this final report was given by the medical team not long ago - there were no problems. ”

Chiyo is a high-level advisor to the Land of the Wind, Sand Hidden Village, and a super-first-class puppeteer.

During the Second Ninja World War, Chiyo had shocked the ninjas of his country with her excellent medical ninjutsu, puppetry, and physical skills, especially the terrifying combat power she displayed when she controlled as many as ten puppets at the same time, which made Konoha tremble.

But Chiyo, who is so powerful, suffered in that ninja war because of Tsunade's sharp edge, because all the poisons she made were cracked by Tsunade one by one.

"It's likely that Sha Yin only carried out a routine inspection, but we are too sensitive to their every move these days...... So I thought it was really suspicious of us, so I didn't mention it again. Tsunade explained.

Nara Shikahisa picked up a detailed report on Tsunade's desk, looked at the key data and the clear final conclusion, and muttered, "They must have done something yesterday......"

"But what did you do?" Nara Shikahisa rubbed his temples lightly, and he felt a little headache at the moment.

He believed that the truth was behind that fog, and that was crucial to Konoha!

"Since the big war is coming, let's make all preparations for the war." Yamanaka said.

"By the way, what about Orochimaru?" Tsunade suddenly remembered Orochimaru, who seemed to have never seen each other today.

"Orochimaru's predecessor went to the Dragon Land Cave."

"Orochimaru, this guy, actually disappeared at such an important moment." Tsunade was a little annoyed that the other party was so indiscriminate, didn't he know that there was going to be a war?

"Did he say when he would be back?"

"No...... In fact, we don't even know what Orochimaru's predecessors are going to do. ”

After all, who dares to ask, who can ask the whereabouts of the three ninjas with high-level privileges.

"Watergate and Zilai are still on the front line of Yanyin, and it is impossible to come back all of a sudden." Tsunade finally sighed, and all the pressure here was now borne by her alone.

But soon she picked herself up.

Don't forget, she's a three-ninja!

"But it's enough for us!"

"Sha Yin is just a defeated man...... Since they still dare to come to the Land of Fire, let them pay a heavy enough price again! ”

"Yes!" Everyone cheered.

……

…………

………………

The night was getting deeper.

Even the insect chirping was much more sparse, and the bright moon in the sky seemed to be tired, hiding in the clouds to take a nap.

For a time, the entire bellflower city was silent.

In one of Konoha's guard towers, Taniguchi, who was on duty, yawned again, drooping his sleepy-eyed eyes and looking listless.

"Hey, forget it, I don't know how many times I've been reminded. ’

Iwasaki looked at the other party's drowsy appearance and was about to lie down at any time, and he was really helpless.

In fact, he was too tired to do it, but there was no way, this was the task assigned by his superiors, and he had to keep an eye on it at all times.

Of course, compared to Taniguchi's thick nerves, Iwasaki thought of it more.

This is the center of Kikyo City, which can be said to be a fairly safe place, and the so-called duty guard is actually an idle errand.

After all, if Sha Yin really wants to attack, the first person to suffer must be the companion in charge of the perimeter guard.

Iwasaki looked at Taniguchi, who had fallen into a deep sleep and was even dripping with saliva......

I slept so soundly!

For a while, a thought popped up in his heart that made him a little excited: 'Or, I'll squint too?' ’

However, after a trance, he suddenly felt that the world was a little light......

The world was spinning around......

His world was plunged into eternal darkness......

A headless corpse stood on top of the sentry post like that, looking strangely weird.
