"Lady Tsunade, be careful!"
Following a gentle voice with a hint of urgency, a short-haired girl wearing a conservative black-gray dress and trousers suddenly pulled her companion beside her and fled forward.
The next moment!
Along with the violent roar, a huge altar with a gate suddenly rose from the ground.
The lifelike Suzaku statue stands on top of the gate, with its huge wings spread out as if it is about to pounce forward. The crimson 'Zhu' mark below exudes an extremely strange chakra.
Whoosh!
As the door was completely raised, the colorful chakra barrier spread instantly, encompassing the entire Konoha in just Setsuna.
"These guys..."
Somewhat depressed, she pushed away the hands of the girl next to her. A beautiful mature woman with an extremely plump figure spat in displeasure after looking at the rising door behind her.
"I knew I shouldn't come back this time. The situation in the village is even more troublesome than what that guy Jiraiya said!"
"Lady Tsunade!"
Unlike Tsunade, who is still calm, Shizune, who is holding a piggy with a pearl necklace, is still very nervous.
Not long ago, Mingming lamented that Konoha was much more prosperous than it was back then. There was no sign of disorder in the comings and goings of people in the village, and there was no such urgent sense of crisis as the original intelligence reported.
Just.
This feeling of emotion had just arisen, and the next moment there seemed to be such a loud attack.
They actually dared to face Konoha so directly and launch this large-scale barrier ninjutsu. It was obvious that they had encountered something big!
Boom!
The reply to Shizune was a swift hand knife, which also rescued Tonton in the opponent's arms from the predicament of being strangled.
"Why panic!"
Tsunade brushed back her somewhat messy long light yellow hair, but a hint of disdain flashed in her bright brown eyes.
This level of giant Barrier Ninjutsu style is truly amazing!
Without a special physique and sufficient training and sacrifice, there is obviously no way to display such a powerful sealing barrier.
But.
For the most powerful Ninja Village in the world, this level of barrier is obviously not enough...
"The real trouble is the identity of those people!"
"Twelve Guardian Ninja?"
Baptized by Tsunade's awakening spell, Shizune calmed down from the panic at this moment, and at the same time quickly observed the movement outside Konoha.
"More trouble than them!"
Tsunade showed a trace of his nose, but there was a hint of uneasiness deep in his eyes.
Twelve Guardian Ninja is naturally nothing. Although Land of Fire is also an elite carefully selected from all over the country, the strongest power of ninja is still concentrated in Five Great Shinobi Villages.
The key is Land of Fire and the attitude of Land of Fire!
Recalling that after his grandfather Senju Hashirama passed away, Land of Fire's attitude towards Konoha became a bit playful.
Especially after the previous daimyo Land of Fire died and the new daimyo Shokaku succeeded to the throne, Land of Fire's attitude towards Konoha became even worse.
Card task limit! Card financial expenditure!
Later, he even blatantly wanted to interfere with Konoha Hokage's selection!
If Land of Fire had not controlled the economic lifeline of Konoha, and if Sarutobi Hiruzen had reached some kind of agreement with the daimyo after succeeding to the throne, these Twelve Guardian Ninja would not have dared to be so bold now.
Just!
"It's really ugly..."
As the princess of the Senju Clan, this identity was truly at its peak when Konoha was first established, and was more noble than any of the descendants of the daimyo.
But now Konoha has reached the point where someone is blatantly bullying him, but he can only pretend to play match-fixing with the opponent?
A mocking smile appeared on Tsunade's face, and he looked at Anbu Ninja wearing an owl mask outside the gate of Konoha.
"It is absolutely not allowed to harm the daimyo, just suppress those Guardian Ninja!"
"Yes, Master Utatane Clan!"
After the owl Anbu received the order from the transmitter, he suddenly turned around and Body Flicker Technique came behind Kotetsu Hagane and ordered Chunin who was responsible for guarding Konoha Gate and organizing the response to the raid.
"Master Utatane Clan has an order not to harm their lives!"
"This..."
Kotetsu Hagane had a look of reluctance on his face, but he did not have the courage to disobey the order, and immediately began to use code words to quickly contact the ninja team that came to deal with the special incident.
"Now I will be in command. We will all switch to remote attacks. We are not allowed to use Explosive Tag, nor are we allowed to directly hit the enemy. Just restrict them outside the village!"
"What!"
The ninja team who received the order felt a little helpless at the moment. They looked at the arrogant Twelve Guardian Ninja at the entrance of the village, their eyes full of unwillingness.
"Obey orders!"
Several older ninjas also guessed something at this moment. After comforting their companions, they took out Kunai and started acting.
This feeble resistance and feeble offensive also made Twelve Guardian Ninja, headed by Kazuma, laugh even more arrogantly.
"Konoha like this is not worthy of the responsibility of guarding Land of Fire. As long as we are by the daimyo's side, it is enough. We will let Land of Fire have his only jade."
"This is my Jade Will!"
Kazuma was laughing crazily in the distance, and from time to time used Kunai to deflect incoming weak hidden weapons. It was only when he faced several Konoha Ninja who were fighting at close range with Kunai that he seemed a little more serious.
All of a sudden!
A wonderful ninja offensive and defensive battle was instantly displayed outside the door of Konoha. The roar of explosions and the smoke and dust were extremely lively.
"Let's go, Shizune!"
At this moment, Tsunade obviously had no interest in watching the battle. A dark green long gown with black edges was fluttering, and then he turned around and walked into Konoha.
"Lady Tsunade, don't we care?"
Shizune was a little confused, but looking at Tsunade who was striding like a meteor, he followed quickly.
"Wait a minute!"
But Tsunade and Shizune had not taken a few steps, and when they were about to cross the door of Konoha, a somewhat lazy voice suddenly called out to them.
Hmm!
What puzzled both Tsunade and Shizune was that the person who stopped them was not the ninja responsible for guarding the entrance to the village, but an old civilian sitting at a small wooden table.
The old man was standing on the right side in front of them. His right hand was wrapped with a red cloth with the word "tax" written on it. He was staring at them with a vigilant expression.
Why are there still civilians here who haven't taken refuge in accordance with the regulations?
"What do you want to do?"
"Don't get me wrong, old man, we are not the same as those people outside!"
Shizune quickly stepped forward to explain, and seeing the old man alone in such a dangerous place, he couldn't help but add another sentence.
"It's very dangerous here now. Old man, you'd better go and take shelter quickly!"
"Escape?"
The old civilian looked at Shizune in confusion, and then glanced at the bustling scene outside the village. Finally, he calmly sat down and knocked on the wooden plaque in front of the table.
"The murders and arson happening outside have nothing to do with me, but there is only one thing in the village that must not be violated!"
The old civilian man had a hint of disdain in his eyes, and then he added suddenly.
"You have to pay a tax of ten taels per person when entering the village!"
