Land of Frost!
This small country surrounded by sea on three sides, like its good neighbor Land of Hot Water, acts as a buffer zone for Land of Fire and Land of Lightning.
However, compared to Land of Hot Water, which has suffered from wars from time to time and can only rely on peacetime tourism to boost its economy, Land of Frost has relied on its unique geographical advantages to build a stable trade relationship between Land of Iron and Land of Rice Fields.
All this is due to the political system of Konoha in the past, which acted like a big brother to the outside world at all times, and directed all the darkness towards the village.
As the boss of Land of Frost, the ninjas of Land of Lightning and Kumogakure are the most rude among Ninja World, but their ambitious attitude towards the outside world destined that the battlefield will only occur in the area of Land of Hot Water, the neighbor to the south.
Looking at the past few decades, Land of Frost, who originally thought that he could only work hard to survive as a buffer zone, found that he was more stable than most.
Kumogakure is causing trouble...
It doesn't matter!
Everything happens on foreign soil!
Kumogakure was defeated...
This is even more irrelevant. After all, the moment Kumogakure steps back to the Land of Frost area after defeat, there are basically no short-sighted people who will come to fight these barbarians.
Therefore, during these long and comfortable years, if it were not for the fact that Darkness of the Ninja World came out to make news from time to time, the general Land of Frost would have probably forgotten the name Konoha.
If you just come out to fool around, you will always have to pay back!
And since we are in this Ninja World where high-level force controls everything, the luck in the past will always run out one day, and this moment has obviously arrived.
Konoha, who has been known as the leader of the five gangsters of Ninja World in the past few decades, finally launched a war in the name of revenge for the first time.
Launching a victory or something is nothing in this sad Ninja World, but what surprised most countries was that this day came so late.
Regarding this.
Some people who understand the inside story can only silently thank Sarutobi Hiruzen in their hearts for their great contribution to Ninja World!
But at this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was thought of by many Ninja World beings, was sitting cross-legged in a camp with a gloomy expression.
"Damn Kumogakure!"
But at this moment, in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, at this moment Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, the anxiety and sadness on their faces at this moment cannot be concealed.
It's hard to imagine.
It is obvious that the top management of Konoha has been in power for decades, but at this moment he doesn't even have the energy to nourish his energy, but the truth is sometimes so simple and direct.
That is naturally because everything in the past has not caused any real harm to their own interests.
Konoha's background is so profound!
It can be said that since Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara founded Konoha, more than half of the essence of the entire Ninja World descendant family has been gathered into Konoha.
And the integration of the Senju Clan's bloodline has allowed Konoha's past talents to emerge in large numbers.
With Third Hokage and Hokage Assistant, who are emerging talents on the battlefield and sitting firmly at the rear, they can make any decision calmly and freely.
And under this situation.
Although the ninjas of the three clans Sarutobi, Mitokado, and Utatane Clan cannot avoid going to the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield is obviously not very serious.
So subconsciously, unconsciously, and conditionedly arranging some easy and simple tasks is understandable for anyone.
And!
Konoha's funds are actually only that small. Under normal circumstances, it is not difficult for the other large ninjas in the village to detect the allocation of capital flow.
It's just that Konoha has a Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen who is responsible for everything, and two Hokage Assistant who are always shouldering the responsibility of sharing government affairs.
Based on the principles of 'fairness', 'justice' and 'openness', it is natural to assign low-difficulty and high-reward tasks to the people you are most familiar with that are truly suitable for them.
Maybe it wasn't obvious at the beginning, but as time passed by in years and ten years...
If the benefits in this were calculated, it would be enough to make Konoha most of the ninjas feel staggering and greedy. This is also the greatest benefit of being a superior.
The existence of control rules only requires a signal.
The convenience and benefits that come with it are beyond the imagination of ordinary ninjas.
That's why.
Although the ninjas of the three clans Sarutobi, Mitokado, and Utatane Clan have not died without accidents in recent years.
But this time, after fighting Kumogakure and Land of Frost, the number of casualties continued to increase sharply, as well as the disappearance of familiar faces, and the three people who were once in high positions finally lost their nerve.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen is the calmest at the moment, Sarutobi Clan, who has suffered the most losses among the three tribes, is assigned the vanguard task!
When did Sarutobi Clan become a pioneer?
It should always be the Konoha geniuses who charge into the battle, and then Sarutobi Hiruzen sympathizes with their hard work, and then sends the tribesmen to carry out the finishing work attentively.
But now...
"Damn Kumogakure!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen gritted his teeth and spat out these words, but what came to mind was another handsome face that disgusted him.
"We can't go on like this!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up suddenly and looked at Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu with a firm expression.
Although the battle with Uchiha Itachi not long ago still made his mind aching from time to time, but for the future of the Sarutobi Clan, he must step forward again at this moment.
The compromise in Konoha was originally for the Sarutobi Clan to continue to exist, but being treated like a consumable in the war between Konoha and Kumogakure is something Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot accept in any case.
"Great!"
Utatane Koharu's eyes flashed with light, as if he had finally found the backbone.
As a former member of Konoha's think tank, Utatane Koharu also knows that the key to their ability to save the situation is the war between Konoha and Kumogakure.
Although there is a factor of coercion from Uchiha Jin, at this moment almost all the ninjas from the three clans Sarutobi, Mitokado, and Utatane Clan are dispatched, and it is also a decision jointly made by Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and Sarutobi Hiruzen.
They firmly believe that Uchiha Clan, who started the war, will not be fully recognized by Konoha's many large ninja clans.
As long as Sarutobi, Mitokado, and Utatane Clan can achieve sufficient military exploits, even if Uchiha Jin wants to settle the score in the future, it will definitely not be a simple matter.
And if Uchiha made a mistake during this war, it would be like this scene now...
Then the opportunity comes!
"Uchiha is Uchiha, always so reckless and stupid!"
Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's back with renewed fighting spirit, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura's sadness over the casualties of their clansmen also faded a lot. They looked at each other firmly and quickly followed.
Thumb! Thumb! Thunk!
With a series of rapid steps, Sarutobi Hiruzen Three Legendary Sannin walked towards the commander's camp.
Watchtowers were neatly arranged on each side of the camp, and there were groups of guards patrolling from time to time along the way. Looking at the three people Sarutobi Hiruzen who came in a hurry, they all had a complicated look in their eyes.
But the responsibility lies!
Along with a series of code words and code confirmations, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face gradually became more and more ugly.
But the good thing is...
This seemingly long distance is actually only about a minute.
Looking at the luxurious villa in front of him that was obviously more luxurious than his own camp, built by Wood Release: Three-Bedroom Apartment Technique, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned darker.
"It's okay, it's just Shadow Clone Technique!"
Utatane Koharu seemed to be cheering himself up, and glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen cautiously from time to time.
"I know!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and then walked forward with his head held high.
But the next moment!
Swish! Swish!
Two flashes of icy cold light flashed before his eyes, and the two sharp Kunai instantly sank into the land in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Obviously.
If Sarutobi Hiruzen had just continued to move forward for half a minute, then these two Kunais would have aimed at his heart!
Uchiha Habara! Uchiha Tonan!
Konoha Military Police Force The two newly promoted Kage Level strong men are the only two Uchiha clansmen who serve as Uchiha Jin's escorts on this trip.
"Stop!"
Although the identity of the former Byakugan was revealed, at this moment, the eyes of Habara and Tunan were still full of the cold arrogance characteristic of Uchiha, and they did not mean to give their predecessor Konoha Hokage any face.
"Lord Hokage is discussing with everyone Hokage Assistant. If there is nothing important, please go back!"
"You..."
Facing the unabashed mockery on the faces of Uchiha Habara and Uchiha Tonan, Utatane Koharu's mentality exploded on the spot.
"Haru-chan, don't be impulsive, business is more important!"
Mitokado Homura naturally does not want to conflict with Habara and Tunan here. This will only result in a failure of the purpose of this trip.
"We have something to ask Lord Hokage!"
However, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Utatane Koharu who were silent, it was Mitokado Homura who took on everything after all and bowed to the two people in front of them.
"Lord Hokage has no time to talk to you, please come back!"
However, Habara and Tunan still didn't mean to give face, and even extended their hands to see off the guests.
"Uchiha Jin!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help it at this moment, and suddenly roared towards the small villa in front of him.
As for Uchiha Jin's idea of weakening his Sarutobi Clan, Sarutobi Hiruzen is naturally very clear about this. After all, what the other party is doing at this moment is nothing more than copying his previous arrangement.
Moved the Sarutobi Clan out of Konoha, and then arranged for them to act as the main force to attack Kumogakure head-on!
But!
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen keenly captured a fatal flaw in this plan, which was the elite Uchiha who disappeared in the Konoha camp at this moment.
Although this approach seems to be to pull Uchiha away, it will cause Sarutobi Clan to suffer more losses in this war.
But everything is too much, and Uchiha Jin's method is too clumsy!
Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't believe that Konoha's other ninjas can't see it. At this moment, Uchiha Jin is just Shadow Clone Technique, and there are only two guards around him, Uchiha Habara and Tunan.
As long as he can take advantage of this period of time to regain control of Konoha, and rely on the Sarutobi Clan's contribution in this war, then Sarutobi Hiruzen will definitely have the qualifications to compete with Uchiha again.
In the name of Ninja Hero!
It is by no means a waste of money, everything in the past is just for tolerance!
And now that the time has come, Sarutobi Hiruzen only needs to reveal the true face of Uchiha Jin in front of everyone, and then rely on the victory of this war, although it may not necessarily restore his previous status.
But at least...
Sarutobi Clan can be saved!
"Let them in!"
But just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to make the worst plan and attack Uchiha Habara and Uchiha Tonan, a familiar lazy voice did come from the wooden villa ahead.
"Yes!"
Habara and Tunan saluted at the source of the sound, and a random Body Flicker Technique disappeared immediately, leaving only the three Sarutobi Hiruzen looking at each other.
"Something's wrong!"
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little uneasy in his heart, he still resolutely pushed open the wooden door in front and led Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura in.
The sudden silence in the air made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel more and more uneasy, but for the future of the Sarutobi Clan, he had no other choice at this moment.
The next moment.
Familiar eyes were also focused on him at this moment. They were obviously the heads of the ninja clan who were serving under him not long ago!
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, what's going on!"
Uchiha Jin's indifferent and lazy voice instantly interrupted the thoughts in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind.
"Me!"
Seeing that there was no trace of panic on Uchiha Jin's face, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart immediately tightened, but he still managed to keep speaking.
"Lord Hokage!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke with some reluctance, with a familiar anger in his random tone!"
"My people are fighting against the Kumogakures all the time, and according to the scheduled plan, the Uchiha Clan should have launched a raid on the main force of the Kumogakure, but why is there no movement now?"
As soon as these words came out.
The hearts of the many ninja clan leaders in the room sank slightly at this moment.
As early as when Konoha designated the combat plan for Kumogakure, they seemed to have vaguely seen the scene in front of them, but they did not expect that the conflict would break out so quickly.
But Uchiha Jin's face was as plain as ever at this moment. He just glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen indifferently and said slowly.
"What is a ninja?"
"What?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for no reason, not understanding what kind of riddle Uchiha Jin was playing!
"Ninjas are tools!"
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, Uchiha Jin in front of him suddenly stood up and stared at him as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.
"As a mere tool, you are not qualified to question Konoha Hokage, so now..."
"Get out!"
