The Hokage's office was silent.

This high-level meeting.

Miyome, Koharu, and Yan once thought that Konoha was facing such a critical situation at the moment, and the Uchiha clan could no longer find an excuse and could only stand up and protect the village.

Who would have thought.

It represents the will of the Uchiha clan, not only did he not want to contribute, but he was even shocked by the powerful power of the enemy, and even said the words "surrender to Yuyin Village".

It's ridiculous.

The three generations frowned into the word "Chuan", fell into deep thought, and were silent for a long time.

Surrender is impossible.

But if Nagato is really as strong as he said, it may be impossible for Konoha to win this war.

Come to think of it.

"Ugh."

Miyome let out a long sigh and made a difficult decision after a deep groan.

From now on.

Konoha will completely abandon the offensive and switch to a full-fledged defensive posture, taking all forces back to the mainland.

In case of an attack by Akatsuki.

"That's all it can be."

Koharu and Yan nodded, then stood up as well and left the Hokage's office.

After the two left.

Jiraiya walked out from behind the screen, his expression more solemn than ever.

"What do you think of what Uchiha said just now?" The third generation looked at the beloved disciple and asked.

"I think... What he said was true, and it was the same as the prophecy of the Great Toad Immortal. Jiraiya said in a deep voice.

Really.

When the three generations heard this, they couldn't help but be deeply worried, raised their heads to look at the ceiling, and said to themselves, "Could it be that Konoha really has to surrender to Nagato, otherwise there will only be destruction?" ”

Zilai's expression was gloomy, with a face of guilt and self-blame:

"It all started because of me. I was the one who saved Nagato and took him as an apprentice, but I couldn't guide him properly. Now that the 3,000-strong army of Konoha has been destroyed, I am most responsible. ”

Speaking of which, he had already made up his mind and asked for the three generations:

"Let me go to Yuyin Village."

"But your hands ......" Miyome looked worriedly at Jirai's bandaged arm, which was obviously in need of a good rest at this time.

And.

Even if he didn't have a broken arm, would he be able to defeat Nagato, who has the eye of reincarnation?

"The Great Toad Immortal once said that this is my fate. So I'm going to sneak into Yuyin Village, make a break with Nagato personally, and do my best to fight for peace. If I fail, I will also try my best to send the information of Nagato and the Reincarnation Eye back to Konoha. When the time comes, I can only ask you. ”

Jiraiya has a firm eye.

The three generations were silent for a long time, and finally nodded with difficulty.

He knows.

If you come and go, you will die for a lifetime, and it is almost impossible to come back.

……

Since the end of the Third Shinobi War, the ninja world has ushered in a period of relative peace, and there has been no large-scale war for almost seven years.

Therefore.

When Konoha declared war on Yuyin and sent an army of 3,000 to the border, it naturally attracted the attention of the entire ninja world.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the entire ninja world, this army was finished overnight.

The man who destroyed them was Payne, the leader of Akatsuki.

This news spread to every corner of the ninja world as quickly as possible.

Single-handedly take on an army of thousands of ninjas.

The last time he did such a shocking thing was during the Third Ninja World War, known as the strongest three generations of Thunder Shadow in history.

In order to cover the retreat of his subordinates, he faced 10,000 ninjas of Iwakure alone and fought for three days and three nights.

But.

In the end, the three generations of Thunder Shadow were outnumbered and died of exhaustion, proving that no matter how powerful a ninja is, there is a limit.

And this time.

Payne refreshed the cognition of the entire ninja world.

This self-proclaimed god man easily killed Konoha's army of 3,000, like a god from above, and inflicted divine punishment on ant-like mortals.

Countless people, shocked by Payne's might, developed a deep fear.

Time.

The fame of Payne and Akatsuki resounded over the entire ninja world, and the limelight was unrivaled for a while, overshadowing the Uchiha clan some time ago.

The status of Yuyin Village in the ninja world has also improved, and as the "people of God", the ninjas and villagers of Yuyin are extremely proud.

Some people rejoice, others are sad.

As the loser, the sky over Konoha was gloomy, and the whole village was shrouded in an atmosphere of oppression and despair.

When the news of the annihilation of the army came back, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky for the villagers of Konoha.

Many have lost family and friends, either grieving heartbreak, or despair and anger.

The original intention of the three generations to start this war was to divert the internal contradictions in the village, and the result was an unprecedented fiasco, which allowed the internal and external contradictions to be superimposed.

More and more people are showing strong dissatisfaction with the three generations.

The three generations are old, mediocre, and unable to resolve the contradictions between various ethnic groups internally, and unable to win the war externally.

Such a person will only lead Konoha to decline, or even perdition.

Time.

The villagers complained about the three generations, and the once respected and trusted "strongest Hokage in history" had dropped to freezing points in the village.

However, it is not only the three generations who are scolded, but also the Hokage who assists the Uchiha.

The idea of breaking the high-level meeting somehow spread and soon spread in the village.

The hundreds of thousands of villagers in Konoha were furious.

Broken, as a dignified Hokage's assistant, he turned out to be a surrender faction in his bones, and said the remark that "Uchiha wants to be the first to surrender to Xiao".

The Uchiha clan is usually arrogant and domineering in the village, but in the face of powerful foreign enemies, only the head is bowed and the eyebrows are lowered.

Cruelty inside and cruelty outside.

This is the true face of the Uchiha Break.

For this kind of Hokage's assistance who can only "go inside the nest and coward outside", the villagers of Konoha naturally cursed endlessly, and they couldn't wait to let the broken horse get off the stage.

on this.

There was no response.

The Uchiha clan closed their doors and ignored all the remarks of the outside world.

All in all.

Today's Konoha is full of contradictions and conflicts, like a powder keg full of explosives, and as long as there is a little more spark, it may be detonated at any time.

Konoha is on the verge of collapse.

Dark Prison.

"The village left me, and it still doesn't work."

Danzou stared at the three generations in front of him, as if he had expected that the other party would come to him.

The three generations also looked at Tuan Zang, and said in a deep voice:

"This is a decision I made with Koharu and Yan. Konoha has reached its most critical moment, and the village needs your strength to survive this difficult time. However, Ling is no longer the Hokage's assistant, so you have to keep a low profile, understand? ”

“… Of course. ”

Tuan Zang's eyes flickered and he answered.

After secretly releasing Danzo, Miyome returned to the Hokage's office.

He was ready to cancel the shinobi exam.

At this time of internal and external difficulties, where does Konoha have any mind to hold the Zhongnin exam.

However, the bad news is.

The Cloud Hidden Crowd, led by the four generations of Thunder Shadows, has already arrived in Konoha menacingly.
