The warm sunshine of spring, comfortable and warm,

However, this sunny weather did not bring a good mood to the villagers of Konoha, on the contrary, the atmosphere in the whole village was a little dull.

The reason, of course, is that there is another war.

Looking down the window, Sarutobi's increasingly aged face was full of sorrow, and he wanted to throw this bit of Konoha to others at will, and he would adapt to the change of age and retire.

Can...... I really can't find a suitable successor.

His cloudy and yellow eyes stared at the crowd below in confusion and confusion.

The condescending view allows the ape to clearly observe everything in the core and inner area of Konoha .

In the past, he liked this kind of vision very much, liked to watch this village that he had been guarding grow up silently, liked to watch the people in the village live peacefully, liked to look at the village in front of him, and recalled and compared the village decades ago.

But now...... Ape Fei Ri Slash was a little afraid to look at it.

Because below are faces full of worry and fear, in just a few years, they can't erase the heaviness brought to them by the war, and at such a moment, they are going to be called up again, and it is suspected that the war will be provoked again.

Marching and fighting for many years, Sarutobi understands this mentality, a word that war is disgusted by Konoha Village.

With such morale, what kind of ability should they have to fight?

How can I re-provoke this low morale and let everyone rekindle their fighting spirit together?

His eyes were full of confusion.

More than a year ago, Konoha was under the leadership of Bo Feng Shuimen, and his morale was like a rainbow.

And when Konoha was 51 years old, after the night of October 10th, Konoha, the dragon that was about to take off, seemed to be cut off by the air, and one troublesome thing happened one after another.

First of all, the Uchiha dared to blatantly disagree with Konoha, then the changes in Yunyin Village, and then the secret snooping of the Xiao organization, and now the big war is imminent......

There are too many things, and they are no longer something that today's ape Fei Ri can handle.

Whether it is physical or mental, he is no longer the ambitious shinobi, but just an old man whose body is withering like dead wood, waiting for death in silence.

"Three Generations ......"

"Three generations!"

"Sun Slash!"

……

"Huh?"

Louder and more violent shouts sounded in the ears of the ape flying in the sun, and finally, in that 'sun slash', he turned his head blankly, and the face that had already been covered with old age spots was full of trance.

"How do you ......"

A frowning brow, Koharu originally wanted to give him a few words of advice so that he would not be distracted before such an important meeting.

But when she faced the blank eyes of her old friend, the admonition that had reached her lips stopped again, and she also fell silent when she looked at this confused and twilight face.

"Are you all together?"

After a long time, the silence was broken by the calm voice of the ape flying sun.

When Koharu came back to his senses, the old man standing by the window in front of him was no longer there, but only the ape flying sun, who was sitting on the seat of the Hokage, with sharp eyes.

It's as if nothing happened.

“…… Three generations, the patriarchs of all clans have arrived. ”

Zhuan Xiaochun reported softly.

"I see, you guys go over first."

Sarutobi sat down in the Hokage's seat, his wizened fingers pulling his pipe from his bosom.

Koharu got a response, nodded and planned to leave.

When she walked to the door, before closing the door, she unconsciously glanced back at her old friend who was sitting in her seat, and said in a deep voice, "Sarutobi, you have to hold on for a while, Kakashi's ability is not enough to succeed you, unless he can make a prominent performance in this battle." ”

Hearing this, Ape Feiri, who was about to light the tobacco on his pipe, slashed, "I know. ”

His tone was equally heavy.

……

"I believe that the reason why the old man summoned you here this time, you are all clear."

"Yun Yin is menacing, and he doesn't care about the harm caused by the war to the country and the people, although it is not clear how the four generations of Thunder Shadow think about this matter, but there is no doubt that the righteousness is on our side."

"War is rejected by people, whether it is the country of fire or the country of thunder, I think it is the same."

……

In the meeting of the Hokage Building, there is a gathering of forces that are enough to determine the fortunes of the Fire Nation.

Hyuga Patriarch Hinata Hinata Foot, Uchiha Patriarch Uchiha Itachi, Nara Patriarch Nara Shikaku, Akido Patriarch Akido Takuza ......

They sat down below, and as for the seating order, there was no deliberate distinction when turning to bed Koharu, those who came first left first, and those who came late sat in the back.

And Uchiha Itachi, the first one to come, sat in the second position on the left hand side of Sarutobi Hizap.

In front of him was Mito Menyan with a serious face.

On the other side is the strange-looking Nara Shikaku.

And the back...... It's Hinata Hinata with an ugly face!

In the past, the youngest patriarch of all the clans present was in his thirties, but now, among this group of patriarchs who have power and power in their hands, there is a child mixed in!

Uchiha Itachi was extremely conspicuous sitting in such a group of people.

Although in terms of height, it is not too special.

But the immature face always reminded everyone present that they were not like them, but had extremely rich experience.

Everyone present had participated in the Uchiha Itachi succession ceremony in the first place, and at the beginning, most of them were a little weird, but they didn't pay much attention to it.

Anyway, this is someone else's business, and how the Uchiha decides has nothing to do with them.

But now, when this child sat with them in this meeting, in an instant, the position of the patriarch under their ass became cheap.

However, Uchiha Itachi didn't care about their strange faces, but quietly listened to Sarutobi's story.

He was the patriarch, and he didn't come here for a meeting to humiliate everyone present.

It's about getting more intuitive and detailed intelligence.

"These are the routes obtained by the Dark Line, and the Hidden Clouds may be taking when they are about to invade the Land of Fire."

Sitting on the main seat, Sarufei Rizap didn't care about the demeanor of the other patriarchs, and said to himself as he spread a map on the table, "The land of thunder and the border between our country are separated by the country of snow, the country of fields, and the country of iron. ”

"According to the ninja peace treaty, they should not march from the land of iron, but can only enter our territory through the country of snow and the country of the field."

"According to the previous Yunyin's marching deployment and the intelligence of the dark line, the most likely of them are these mountain ranges."

"Of course, it is also possible for them to make a detour from this sea area into the Fire Nation, but this will require a huge supply of military supplies."

"The Land of Thunder is like us, it has just ended a great war, and even three generations of Thunder Shadow have died on the battlefield because of it, and their country will definitely not be able to supply such a huge demand......"

He explained softly that Yunyin Village might make arrangements.

However, this is not absolute.

The ninja profession is extremely powerful, whether it is a steep mountain cliff or a turbulent sea, as long as it is strong enough, it can be shuttled through the magical energy of 'chakra'.

Like in ancient times, the practice of using walls and fortresses to resist enemy troops was completely non-existent for ninjas.

Therefore, the estimate is only an estimate after all, and the commander who actually arrives on the battlefield still needs to adjust the tactics in charge.

And just as Ape Feiri's voice fell, he looked at the many patriarchs present and asked what his opinion was, when a young and calm voice suddenly remembered.

"Hokage-sama mean that your thoughts about the upcoming war are only the country of Thunder?"
