Chapter 21: The Eve of War
Chapter 21: The Eve of the War
"Yes, Watergate, I only took classes for two months, and then skipped class for two months at a time."
On this day, when Cangji walked into the classroom and saw the water gate that was already in his seat, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression, and then walked over and said.
"Watergate, where have you been in the past two months, everyone is worried about mud." Akido Dingza also asked.
The other students next to him also greeted Watergate with a gossip.
"Thank you for your concern, I worshipped a teacher, and I have been studying with the teacher for the past two months, and I have already said hello to Hokage-sama. I'm really sorry that I'm worried, but I'll go back to school as normal. ”
For the concern of a group of people, Watergate's face couldn't help but show guilt.
Think about it, a group of friends originally studied together every day, and suddenly one day they disappeared without saying hello, and everyone would be uncomfortable.
"Hmph, Shuimen, now you are also my target, and it will be your turn after I surpass Cangsi." Uchiha said to Mizumon with fighting spirit.
"Haha."
Shuimen touched the back of his head helplessly, and could only smile.
"Great, someone will finally share the firepower for me in the future, thank you Watergate."
After hearing what Uchiha Yan said, Cangji looked happy, it was really in the past two months that Mizuto was away, Uchiha Yan was annoyed, and he stared at himself every time he had a training session.
And thanks to Cangsi, Shuimen is also very speechless, is this the turn of feng shui, come to my house this year, remembering the ridicule of Cangsi before, people are finally going to take revenge back.
Then Watergate returned to his old life, training with his friends every day, studying together, and occasionally playing together.
Although it doesn't improve as quickly as when I'm with Jiraiya-sama, the feeling of having friends working together is more fulfilling.
On the other hand, two days later, Tsunade also returned to Konoha Village from the front line.
And the high-ranking Konoha and the patriarchs of the various ninja clans, as well as the representatives of the poor middle and upper ninjas, also gathered in the Konoha Supreme Council.
The meeting was discussed for a long time, starting in the morning and ending in the afternoon when the sun went down.
Then all the participants who left the meeting were in a hurry, and the first time the patriarchs of the ninja clan returned to the clan was to hold a meeting to discuss the relevant content of this time.
The meeting of the ninja clan even lasted until the early hours of the morning.
I want to ask Cangji why he knows this, because grandpa Hinata Yunchuan came back at this time, and Cangji just finished the day's training.
He didn't hide anything from Cangsi, and directly told him about the meeting in his clan and the fact that he was about to go to the front line to fight.
Of course, the specific arrangement, Hinata Yunchuan must not have said it, after all, such as Konoha to give priority to provoking the ninja war, to raid such a big thing as Sand and Fog Hide, it is definitely not possible to tell Cangji, Hinata Yunchuan still has this big picture.
"Grandpa, are you going to fight on the front line at such an old age?" Cangji looked at Hinata Yunchuan with a worried expression.
"Stinky boy, what are you talking about, you dislike grandpa for getting old, right, it's really begging!" Hinata Yunchuan made a gesture and raised his fist to beat Cangji.
"Ah, grandpa, of course not." Cang Si hurriedly held his head in his hands and pretended to dodge.
But Hinata Yunchuan's fist didn't really fall on Cangji's head, and the moment the fist fell, he opened his five fingers and pressed Cangji's shoulder.
"Cangsi, grandpa is really not necessary to go to the battlefield at this age, but this time I have my purpose, I must go!" Hinata Yunchuan looked at Cangji's eyes and said categorically.
"Grandpa, can you tell me what the purpose is?" Cangji asked tentatively.
"Haha, little one, even if you ask, I won't tell you." Hinata Yunchuan's old urchin's heart suddenly attacked.
"Grandpa wants to pave the way for you one last time." This last sentence Hinata Yunchuan put in his heart and didn't say it.
His days are numbered, and he can also see the urgency in Cangsi's heart from this year, although he doesn't know why, but as a grandfather, he has the obligation to consider the future of his grandson!
"Grandpa is so stingy." Cangji muttered in a rare childish manner.
It is only in front of his grandfather Hinata Yunchuan that Cangji will show this side of himself.
Cangji cherishes this feeling very much, after all, his grandfather Hinata Yunchuan is his only relative in this world.
Regardless of whether or not the memory of the original body is affected, Hinata Yunchuan's dedication to Cangji in the past year has not been mixed with any selfishness.
This is also the reason why Cangji is so worried about Hinata Yunchuan going to the battlefield.
"Okay, it's time to rest, Grandpa Yin will lead some of the clansmen to set off directly with Lord White Fang." After saying this, Hinata Yunchuan went back to his room.
"Lord White Fang? Is it Konoha White Fang Qimu Shuomao, that is, the father of the future Qimu Wuwukai? Cangji muttered in his heart.
Without thinking too much, Cangji also went back to his room to sleep.
When it arrived, the moon hung high in the sky, and only a faint moonlight shone on the entire silent Konoha Ninja Village.
Suddenly, groups of black shadows came out of Konoha Village, and some of them nodded to each other and said hello, but they all gathered towards the village gate without saying a word.
The gate of Konoha has been open tonight, and I saw that it had been divided into two teams and stood up.
One of the team leaders, with long silver-white hair and a ponytail, held a chakra knife in his hand, and wore a dark green waistcoat, his eyes were closed, as if resting, as if in thought.
Next to him was a female ninja, who looked like she was less than 20 years old.
He has light yellow hair, a ponytail combed into a large bunch, a blue-purple diamond-shaped mark on his forehead, short thin eyebrows of light yellow, bright brown pupils that seem to glow even in the dark, light red lips, and a plump figure, especially the upper body, which is full of peaks and peaks in Jiraiya's words.
These two people are the two of the current shadow-level powerhouses in the village, the princess of Qimu Shuomao and Konoha who are known as Konoha White Fangs, and the Tsunade of the Thousand Hands Clan!
As for the two leaders of the other team, they are also two of the shadow-level powerhouses in the village, if Shuimen is here, he will definitely be able to recognize them, because he knows both of them.
One is the teacher of the water gate, Jiraiya, and the other is the same name as Jiraiya and Tsunade.
This lineup can directly destroy one of the remaining 4 major ninja villages.
Why are there 4 shadow-level powerhouses gathered at the gate of Konoha Village, and there are various ninjas who have come here one after another?
That's because of the war!
After Tsunade's return, the Konoha higher-ups decided on the candidates to raid Sand Hide and Fog Hide.
The 2000 elite squad, led by Sakumo Hagi and Tsunade, went to raid the sand hide, while the 2000 elites led by Orochimaru and Jiraiya went to raid the Kirikurakure.
For this battle, the three generations of Hokage and other Konoha high-level leaders are determined to win!
I don't want to directly penetrate the two major ninja villages of Sand Hidden and Fog Hide, but at least we have to destroy a large number of new forces on the other side, so that the other party is unable to complete the 4-pack 1 attack on Konoha with Yun Yin and Iwain.
This is also a plan that was made two months ago, and it is only today that it has been officially implemented.
At the end of the day, with the arrival of the last group of ninjas, Sakumo Hagi, who was the commander of everyone, also opened his eyes!
"Okay, presumably your family and captain have already explained this mission, so I won't waste time talking about it here."
After a slight pause, Sakushige Hagi continued, "For the sake of the village, for the sake of everyone we care about, we must win this battle!" Let's go to the battlefield with the determination to win. At the same time, I hope that each and every one of you will come back alive. ”
In the dead of night, even if everyone was enthusiastic because of Qimu Shuomao's words, they knew that they could not make any sound at this moment.
Taking advantage of this time to set off, it is to avoid the spies of other ninja villages in the village, and if they still roar loudly in the middle of the night, it will not be called a surprise attack.
"Lord Orochimaru, Lord Jiraiya, the surprise attack on the fog is all handed over to you, you must do it at one time, so that the other party is unable to fight again." Before parting, Hachiki Shuomao instructed Orochimaru and Jiraiya.
"Don't worry, Lord Shuomao, we won't let the forces of the Fog Hidden slip out of the realm of the Fire Nation." At this moment, Jiraiya's answer was full of seriousness, without the slightest perfunctory.
"Hee-hee, we won't let go of any of the Mist Ninja we meet." Orochimaru also licked his lips and replied cruelly.
"Hey, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, you pay attention, don't accidentally die on the battlefield, come back and let's go to the hotel for a drink!" Tsunade said domineeringly to the two of them with his hands on his hips.
It's clear that he is saying something of concern, but when it comes out of Tsunade's mouth, there is always a feeling of poisonous tongue, maybe this is the mode of getting along between the three of them.
"Hahaha, we will, Tsunade, you have to be careful." In the face of Tsunade's concern, Jiraiya said with a flattered expression.
"Huh." This is Orochimaru's silent mockery, he doesn't want to drink with these two drunkards!
That's called a drink?
Two rotten wine baskets! Don't you have an AC count in your heart? Every time I drink with them, I only drink one or two glasses, and they may have already drunk a barrel or two!
In the end, I had to carry two smelly and drunk guys, and under the pitiful gaze of the people next to me, I paid for the wine before I could leave the hotel, and I had to send them home!
If Tsunade changes his condition and doesn't survive, Orochimaru guarantees that he will choose to execute that option!
No reason, just don't want to drink with these two guys!
"Huh? Orochimaru, what do you mean, and, with Lord Shuomao, how could I encounter any danger. Hearing Orochimaru's 'heh', Tsunade resisted the urge to roll up his sleeves and fight, after all, it was before departure.
"Alright, alright, it's time for us to go, then, the other side will please." Looking at the painting style that was about to mutate, Qimu Shuomao hurriedly came out to play a round.
As the commander-in-chief of the two armies this time, Qimu Shuomao does have the right to stop the three people in front of him.
Not only because of the qualifications, but also because of the strength of Konoha White Fang, which is above the three of them.
In the entire Konoha Village, even the three generations of Hokage did not dare to say that he could win against Hachiki Shuomao, after all, White Fang's sword technique was too tricky and weird.
And this is also the reason why the three generations of Hokage gave the title of commander-in-chief this time to Hachiki Shuoshige, but did not give it to his three disciples.
Then all the people on both sides were organized, and they left the village gate one by one and left and one right in the dark night, and headed towards the battlefields of Shayin and Wuyin respectively.
Commander-in-chief of the two armies: Qimu Shuomao
Raid on the Sand Hidden Command: Sakushige Hagi
Raid on the Sand Hidden Deputy Commander: Tsunade
Raid Fog Hidden Command: Orochimaru
Raid Fog Hidden Deputy Commander: Jiraiya
This is the list of battlefield commanders finally decided by the three generations of Hokage this time.
And Hinata Yunchuan led a part of the clan to follow the team that raided the Sand Hidden Village.
