12, the savior
Mt. Kikyo is a natural barrier for Konoha to face north.
In the future, Konoha fended off the cloud shinobi and successfully defeated him.
Now, Mizuto and Shikaku have also arrived here and joined up with the forces led by Uchiha Fugaku.
Jiraiya has been sent back to the village because of serious injuries, and the three generations of Hokage have gone to the front line in person.
That night, the envoys of the Daimyo's Mansion also arrived and questioned the Daimyo's condemnation.
"How can you let Iwa Shinobi enter the realm of my Fire Country!"
Sarutobi replied coldly: "Not only Iwa Shinobi, but also Cloud Shinobi and Sand Shinobi should also come in now." ”
The envoy's eyes widened when he heard this, and he lost his voice for a while.
After a while, the envoy spoke with difficulty: "Three generations of eyes...... Have you already surrendered? ”
"No," replied, "we will have a decisive battle with the enemy here. ”
The envoy looked blankly at the mountain scenery outside and muttered, "Kikyo Mountain...... As ...... as the future"
He swallowed and asked, "You guys...... It's going to win, right? ”
"Please return to Lord Daimyo, Konoha will fight until the last moment."
“……”
After the envoys sent by the daimyo left, all the high-ranking people of Konoha gathered to discuss the next decision.
Abandoning the border defense line also means that their vision is greatly reduced, the enemy's movements in the Fire Nation are extremely difficult to capture, and Mt. Kikyo can only defend against enemies from the north, so it is impossible for Shinobi to go around to the north of Mt. Kikyo to fight them.
If the previous side loses first, as in the previous battle, their final line of defense will be completely broken.
Dead night.
Just as the high-level officials were talking all night, the Daimyo's Mansion sent another envoy over.
"Sandaime, the daimyo orders you to execute Hinata Shin immediately!" The minister's voice was somewhat sharp.
Ape Fei Ri replied coldly: "In this situation, do you think that you can withdraw the army by killing one person?" ”
"This is the order of the Daimyo, Sandaime, do you Konoha dare to disobey the order?!"
"What should be said, it was already said that day, Konoha will never do anything to sacrifice his companions in exchange for peace!"
Kill Hinata Shin......
Now, what's the use of killing Hinata again?
In the face of the daimyo's reckless and unreasonable demands, Sarutobi was extremely impatient.
But after sending the envoy away, he looked at the map and couldn't help but be stunned.
Konoha has ever been to such a point...... How did Konoha get to this point?
The moonlight was shining brightly, sprinkled on the Kikyo Mountain, and countless people couldn't sleep all night.
In the early hours of the next morning, Konoha suddenly received a letter from Tsuchikage.
Ape Feiri opened it and looked at it, and found that it was a letter of persuasion, and his expression became even colder.
After looking at it, Shikaku said, "They decided that we would lose, and now the Fire Nation is not the only one with their Iwa Shinobi, and this is done to avoid disputes with Yun Shinobi and Sand Shinobi after the victory." ”
The rest were indignant.
The armor that should be done has been done, and the scout ninjas who should be sent out have also been dispatched.
Many letters were sent to win allies, but not a single reply was received.
At this point, Ape Fei Ri didn't know what else he could do to turn the tide.
Who is to blame for all this...... Can you say that Hinata is true?
Ape Fei Ri felt that he was not stupid and incompetent to this point.
"Watergate, come with me."
The two walked out of the main tent and away from the crowd.
Lu Jiu watched them from afar discussing something, and most of them were the three generations of Hokage talking, and the water gate was more silent.
After a while, the ape flew back.
Watergate turned and went in the other direction.
"Hokage-sama?" Lu Jiu couldn't help but speak.
Ape Fei Ri was silent for a while before he said, "Now, saving the village is the most important thing. ”
The deer was speechless for a long time.
"Lu Jiu, you send a message to the village and tell Jiu Sinai to come to the front line."
Lu Jiu was stunned, and thoughts flew in his mind.
Kushina is a nine-tailed pillar force, but he can't control his power as freely as the Eight-Tails, and if he releases the nine-tails on the battlefield, it will only be a greater disaster for Konoha.
“…… Good. ”
"Wait a minute."
Lu Jiu just turned around, and was stopped by Ape Feiri again, the old man hesitated there for a long time, and then said, "Besides...... Let Tsunade bring Orochimaru to the front line as well...... There is also a group collection. ”
At this moment, Lu Jiu didn't have any stress reaction, he didn't ask more "why", just nodded wordlessly.
Could it be true that the end of the road?
This time, unlike in the future, there are inner ghosts who betray them, but they still come to this point.
The other side.
Mizuto walked into the makeshift tent, only to find Hinata asleep at the moment.
Kakashi woke up immediately, and when he saw his teacher, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Watergate-sensei? ”
“……”
Watergate silently looked at the man lying on the ground.
Kakashi realized something and hurriedly stepped forward to wake the man up.
Really turned, rubbed his eyes, and yawned.
"Lord Watergate?" He looked at the extra people in the tent and said in a surprised tone.
Then he immediately got up and asked, "Do you have a mission?" ”
Watergate sighed, turned and lowered the tent curtain, there were only three of them.
"Really, Konoha is in a dangerous situation right now......"
Kakashi on the side was stunned when he heard this, he looked at the water gate teacher with his back to them, and then looked at the real one.
The teacher is ...... Come to Hinata for help?
Shinya was silent for a while: "I'm sorry Lord Watergate, it's all my fault, if it weren't for me, Konoha wouldn't have become like this." ”
Watergate turned around and looked at the boy with a complicated expression.
"Really, do you have a grudge against Konoha?"
Zhen hurriedly shook his head: "No!" ”
Mizuto sighed, "I know, you obviously didn't do those things, but we recognized you as a threat to Konoha, and even I doubted you......"
I listened quietly to what Watergate was saying.
"Really, what I said to you before, you are the hero of Konoha definitely out of sincerity, but ...... I still want to apologize to you for my suspicions about you. ”
Shuimen said, slowly bending down towards Zhen.
Zhen stood there and looked at it for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "Lord Watergate, you don't have to do this. ”
Shuimen, who bowed his head, couldn't help but look disappointed when he heard this, but just as he was about to get up, he heard a real voice.
"By the way, Lord Watergate, I have something I want to ask you."
Watergate looked up at him.
"It's about my people, Hinata Hinata Hinata Hinata
Hearing this name, Watergate was instantly stunned.
He thought of the cold corpse in the hospital room.
Zhen looked into the eyes of Mizumon and asked slowly, "I heard that he killed Hai Yi by mistake, I wonder what the village plans to do with him after the end of the war?" ”
The water gate froze there, only to feel a little cold all over.
……
"I wonder, when the war is over, can anyone be responsible for Haiyi's death?"
……
Lu Jiu's original question also kept flashing back in his mind, and Mizumon felt his heart tremble at the moment.
He looked at the young man in front of him, and the other party's expression was calm, as if he was waiting for his answer.
Watergate rolled his throat and said, "Believe...... Hokage-sama will have a fair way to deal with it by then. ”
Shin shook his head again: "I'm asking you, Mizumon-sama, if it's you, what are you going to do with Hinata Hinata Hinata?" ”
“……”
There was silence in the tent for a long time, and the light was dim, and the three figures stood like this.
"What if...... Hiza really killed Hai Yi by mistake, and the crime is not to death......"
"The Village...... He can be forgiven for his mistakes. ”
#
Morning.
A layer of fog has risen on Mt. Kikyo and the temperature is very low.
There is a long table in the main tent, and on the main seat is the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash.
On the left are Ha Feng Mizumon, Uchiha Fugaku, Nara Shikahisa, and Uzumaki Kushina.
On the right are Mito Menyan, Koharu, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Shimura Danzo.
A map of the Fire Nation was spread all over the table, and the small space was silent, and everyone was waiting for something.
Finally, a figure blocked the light coming in from the doorway, and everyone's eyes instantly looked over.
The young man's face and eyebrows are sparse, and his temperament is cold and indifferent, he is a member of the Hyuga family, but his eyes are abnormally dark.
He didn't wear a forehead guard, and his smooth forehead was so casually naked.
For a while, everyone's expressions were different, and an idea popped up in their hearts.
The Chosen One......
