Konoha 57 years, spring,

Too many things have happened this year, whether it is the actions of the Xiao organization or the declaration of war by Konoha, they are enough events to shake the ninja world.

And the continuation of these events has also prompted the ushering of the new year during this time, which is no longer as festive and beautiful as in previous years.

Rather, it is calamity and suffering.

"Is this Konoha Village? It looks completely different from Yanyin Village, at least...... The landscaping is very good. ”

Some distance away from Konoha Village, a flying bird slowly descended and landed beside Payne.

Followed by Deidara's voice full of doubts and surprises, "I thought it would be like Iwain Village, it would be a fortress-like style." ”

"Relying only on the barrier as the first line of defense, I should say that this village has become arrogant because it is strong."

"Or is this not a proper ninja village at all?"

Different villages and countries will have different architectural styles and ways of setting up defensive lines.

For those who come from Kyoto Castle, the land of fire, Konoha Village is completely like a ninja village that has abandoned the beautification of a human gathering place and is a national military force.

Low buildings, simple divisions, and enchantments......

These are all ways for ninjas to be the first to react to an enemy invasion.

But for Deidara from Iwakuin Village, the village of Konoha has indeed given up his vigilance as a ninja for the sake of beautifying its appearance.

"What an interesting statement, Mr. Deidara."

Bai Jue also jumped off the bird and landed on the ground, "Even if I don't sneak into the ground to bypass it, it will take some time to get through this barrier." ”

"This level of defensive and vigilant enchantment is more effective than relying on manpower to build fortresses and garrisons, avoiding the sacrifice of personnel."

"Guarding directly by manpower is perhaps the most barbaric and rudimentary method, isn't it?"

"As human beings, shouldn't we pursue smarter methods?"

His tone was still so yin and yang, as if it was ...... I look down on Deidara all the time.

In fact, the time that some Bai Jue has existed and the things he has seen are indeed enough to 'educate' some young people with an attitude towards the younger generations.

"You ...... guy"

Deidara spat out a cloud of white clay from the palm of his hand, the mouth-like organ, "Otherwise, let's die once, anyway, you have so many clones, and dying one won't affect the plan." ”

"I'm starting to get angry for some reason, Mr. Deidara."

Bai Jue glanced at him, "Obviously, I didn't say anything unpleasant, but did you make up some bad things in your mind?" ”

"Perhaps, do you think I'm being sarcastic that you don't have an IQ?"

"No, no, no, please don't sit down, I just don't understand why some forces of low-level civilization can inexplicably have all kinds of superiority compared to forces of higher level than themselves."

Deidara's eyes were full of irritability, "Shut up, you guy will be obedient if you really go to die once!" ”

As he spoke, he clenched the white clay in his hand.

The next moment, a tiny mosquito-like insect appeared in his palm.

"Less pointless bickering, it's time to get moving."

But before Deidara could make a move, on the other side, Payne stopped them from fighting at the cost of his life.

However, the so-called prevention is just a sentence.

After saying that, Payne and the five people who followed him slowly came to Konoha's barrier.

Even, he didn't plan to greet the two people next to him.

"Payne, you're not going to do it directly, are you?"

Looking at Payne's movements, Bai Jue hesitated and asked, "But with the current distance......"

But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Payne's indifferent voice, "In the face of God's power, distance, number, environment...... are no longer influential. ”

……

……

"It's really deserted, it's a big New Year."

"Yes, most of the villagers have been evacuated to nearby villages, and those who can stay are basically ninjas."

"Alas...... I don't even have a place to eat out after work. ”

At the entrance of Konoha Village,

The two middle ninjas, who were in charge of the work of the garrison booth at the entrance of the village, were looking at the deserted streets, as if chatting with emotion.

With the official declaration of war, the situation in the Fire Nation has become dire.

Not only was the movement of people entering the country banned, but even the villagers in Konoha Village, which was a military area, were urgently evacuated to the surrounding ordinary villages and towns under the orders of the Fifth Hokage.

This movement has never been seen since the beginning of Konoha Village.

Whether it is in the early days of the village, when the facilities and systems of the village are not yet perfect,

Or when the world called the 'God of Ninja', when the pillars of Konoha passed away,

Konoha has never given evacuation orders to the people inside the village because of the external war, and at most, it only allows the villagers to hide in an emergency shelter under the Hokage Rock.

"But...... No matter how you think about it, don't you think it's impossible? The Akatsuki organization will directly invade Konoha. ”

"If you think about it, there's no way the Akatsuki organization can give up the Rain Country, right? It stands to reason that important combat forces should be placed on the battlefield for competition. ”

"Right? If the war evolves into an activity in which each other strikes at the enemy's weak areas, then ...... That's not a blatant violation of the previous rules of the ninja world, out of the hidden rules of humanity. ”

"The nature of war is inherently bad, and if you don't follow even the basic rules of humanity, you will become a beast, right?"

"The world is going to get darker, isn't it?"

Among them, Nakashinobi, who has a hedgehog hairstyle, became more and more excited the more he spoke.

It's just ordinary small talk.,It's a complaining topic that you can't even find a place to drink and eat during the New Year.。

But the more he looked into it, the more he couldn't understand why the village had made such a decision.

The more panicked they were, the more they wondered why the village had made such a decision.

To be honest, he doesn't think he's smart.

There is no reason why the upper echelons of the village can't think of something that they can think of, but they still chose to make such a decision and evacuate the crowd, so it also means......

】

He slowly fell silent, with unconcealed fear and panic in his eyes.

The atmosphere in the guard booth fell silent.

"No matter what we do, we're just forbearance, forbearance, just follow the instructions and do a good job of patrolling."

After a long time, the other shinobi broke the silence, as if he was running away, trying to take the topic away.

"But Izumo, these are really relevant questions, and ...... Won't we be going to apply for the Shangnin exam in the near future? It's time to learn to think like a shinobi, bastard. ”

Unfortunately, his companion didn't seem to be about to be opened up, and despite the panic in his tone, he continued to think firmly.

"Don't talk about these useless things, you guy!"

However, his insistence provoked the anger of his companions, "In this kind of period, you don't need to think about it, you just need to obey orders!" ”

"Bastard!"

Being so belittled, Gangzitie was about to refute something, but when his eyes met the eyes of the companion beside him, the words that came to his mouth paused.

Because in the eyes of Shenyue Izumo, there is also panic that cannot be hidden.

'yes, even I can think of it, there's no reason Izumo wouldn't think of it. ’

Clenched his fists, Gang Zitie finally did not spit out the words in his mouth, but gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the desk, making a dull sound of 'bang'.

Perhaps for a small number of people, participating in the war is to win greater interests, status, and prestige, and to make their own power stronger.

But often, for most people, facing war is nothing more than a 'forced' act.

In order to protect the people around him, and to protect his own forces from being harassed by foreign forces, he was forced to participate in the war.

For the sake of this country and this village, they are willing to give up their peaceful life and embark on the road to the battlefield, just because the rear of the battlefield is their home and family.

However, once the way of war changed as the current decision-making of the village.

So...... They may no longer be able to protect those around them.

Family, friends, village, country......

Everything will affect a group of ruthless wolves that roam outside and have no concept of home or country at all.

In this situation, anyone is stressed.

"Let's talk about what to eat tonight?"

After a long while, Izumo Kamizuki spoke again first, "For the New Year, you always have to get together." ”

"Call all the guys from the same period, right?"

"No matter what happens in the future, let's spend this year well."

The look on his face was as if nothing had happened.

Gangzitie looked at him stunned, and after a while, he looked into the distance again, "...... Yes, that. ”

"Boom!"
