Inside Yugakure, a Hot Water Ninja rushed into a house in a panic and fell to the ground with a single sound.
"Konoha...Konoha's ninja army is coming!"
However, after a while, he didn't hear any reply and couldn't help but raise his head.
"Ah!?"
Is the old man in front of him, who looks ashen and pale, as if he is seriously ill, blind and about to die, still the leader he knew so well in the past?
"Lead..."
Although the previous leader was already old, he was still in good spirits. However, unlike now, he was almost knocked down by the wind.
"They're calling... That means someone is blocking them. Is it Hidan's person?"
The old man opened and closed his lips and asked softly,
"Konoha How many people are here?"
"Gulu..."
Hot Water Ninja, who came to report, swallowed his saliva.
"It seems like... more than a thousand people... and..."
"And what?"
The old man sighed again,
"That's it, let's do it."
"Yes!"
That Hot Water Ninja gritted his teeth and looked sad,
There are more than a thousand elite ninjas! The weakest one is also Chunin! More than a hundred people sent by Hidan were destroyed by their charge, and not one of them survived!"
"What!?"
Exclamations rang out again and again, but this was not the voice of the Yugakure leader, but the exclamations of the Yugakure big bosses around him,
"With so many elite ninjas? Are Konoha trying to exterminate us!? Damn it... We have no intention of betraying Konoha!"
They immediately panicked. Yugakure was once a powerful ninja village, otherwise Land of Hot Water would not be able to conquer this territory now. Among Land of Fire's northern neighbors, Land of Hot Water is the most vast, larger than the total territory of other neighboring countries. Even if Land of Frost is added, it cannot compare.
But with the end of the Warring States Period, Land of Hot Water's armaments relaxed, and Yugakure declined even more. Now Yugakure ninjas have wiped out all their wealth, and they only have a few thousand ninjas at most. If we start from Chunin, we can barely manage to gather a thousand ninjas.
But just counting the number of people is not enough, but Yugakure has not fought in many years. These thousand people are probably not as good as the five hundred people at Konoha. The elites of Konoha are all fed with human heads on the battlefield. In comparison, Hot Water Ninja just do some painless tasks...
Konoha A killing god raised on more than a thousand battlefields, against today's Hot Water Ninja, it might be easier than chopping vegetables...
"Why are you panicking?"
Compared with those leaders who were at a loss, the leader of Yugakure was much calmer, although his complexion became even more dejected after receiving the news.
"Now Yugakure, are we still in charge? It's that Hidan, that group of martial arts ghosts who are in charge! If Konoha wants to find us, we should also look for them! Otherwise, if Konoha really wants to destroy us, will it need so many elites?"
After two sentences, the place immediately fell silent...
Yes?"
One of the leaders showed joy on his face,
"Aren't they coming for the village?"
"Fart! They didn't come to the village. Could it be that they came to visit and soak in hot springs?"
Ling almost made this leader angry to death,
"It's now, what are you still thinking about!? Is there no one else in the village except us now!?"
"Are you one of those Cloud Ninja?"
A bitter look suddenly appeared on the leader's face,
"But when Konoha calls, they will definitely let our people go first! Aren't we still going to die in the end?"
"Stupid pig! Do you have any brain!?"
The leader finally couldn't bear it anymore. His face turned red with anger, he jumped up from the tatami, picked up the scabbard of the sword in his hand, and hit the leader violently. The others immediately turned their heads to the side, pretending not to see.
Hot Water Ninja, who came to report the news, pressed his face deeply against the floor, not even intending to leave a gap...
"I was too early and you turned out to be a pig! But you turned out to be stupider than a pig! You sent your own elites out, what the hell were you thinking!?"
The leader's roar echoed continuously in the sealed room,
"There are so many civilians Genin in the village, why don't we just send them up there! What are Ninja Academy used for!?"
Gritting his teeth, the leader beat the leader until he was fat, then kicked him hard, kicked the leader aside, and sat back down.
I don't know whether he was tired or angry, he couldn't stop panting...
"You're right. There's no need to send our own elites here. Otherwise, they'll all die. We won't have to do anything in the future. We'll just go home and train new ninjas. By then, even if we don't die at the hands of Konoha's people, we will still be exhausted by ourselves."
Finally, one of the leaders plucked up the courage and smiled at the leader.
"It's good to know! You all hide your potential guys, don't be taken to death when the time comes. Genin is gone, Ninja Academy is gone, Chunin jounin is gone, our village is over, even Frost Ninja can bully us at will!"
"But leader, if all the civilian ninjas die, it will not be easy to train them from scratch. After all, there are not many people in our village. I am afraid that we will not be able to recover in ten years. How about..."
"No!"
The leader refused without waiting for a word. He knew what the other party wanted, but this was the only thing he couldn't do.
"Our neighbor is Land of Fire, not Land of Lightning. As long as we don't express our position, the unlucky people will still be Hidan. But even if we just pretend to agree to Cloud Ninja, Konoha will not let us go. They are here to demonstrate and kill us. Do you think Konoha will not be willing?"
"Understood! We will never let go!"
The leaders took a breath of air and all took the order.
It's not that they don't understand, it's just that there is always a trace of thoughts in their hearts. After being led like this, naturally the last trace of thoughts is gone.
"As long as we are here and the elites of our family are here, we are not afraid that the village will decline! Cloud Ninja doesn't want our village to be ruined like this, right? They just want us to hold back Konoha's troops. Who is different? Why are we also the apparent leaders of the village? If Cloud Ninja even cares about this, it is not a solicitation attitude."
"Yes! Then let's just let that Hidan die. Konoha's people will definitely kill him!"
All the leaders agreed, and when the name "Hidan" came up, they gritted their teeth.
"This scourge, if it hadn't been for him, how could we have ended up in this situation! I really hope the people from Konoha will come faster and get rid of him as soon as possible!"
Let's break up the family and do our own things when the time comes. This turmoil has nothing to do with us in the first place, Konoha will understand, they need us too."
Seeing that many leaders were finally united, he nodded with satisfaction.
"There are only a few hundred Cloud Ninja. Although they are not weak, how can they beat the more than a thousand elites of Konoha, not to mention those of Hidan. Apart from him, Konoha are all useless. Let's just watch the show."
He waved his hand,
"It's over! Let's all go home! After the fight, entertain Konoha's people well and give them whatever they want. If they want to demonstrate, let's pretend to be grandsons for once. It's not shameful to pretend to be grandsons in front of Five Great Shinobi Villages."
