Shaoyu came out of Raikage's Office and went directly to the school grounds.
The news spread quickly.
They Kumogakure had no intention of covering up. After all, they were marching on a large scale and couldn't cover up.
Wherever he walked, the ninjas he met looked at him, with excitement and expectation in their eyes.
Some people wanted to come up and talk, but they didn't dare, so they could only stand by and wait for him to pass by before whispering a few words to the people around him.
There were already people gathering on the school grounds. One after another, they were wearing armor and carrying weapons, with uncontrollable excitement on their faces.
"Shaoyu Master!"
A young ninja ran over, his face flushed. He looked at Shaoyu, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
Shaoyu glanced at him. "What's the matter?"
"No, it's nothing!" the young ninja said quickly, "It's just... just... we can fight, right?"
Shaoyu nodded.
The young ninja almost jumped up. He turned around and ran, ran a few steps and then turned back, bowed vigorously to Shaoyu, and then ran away without a trace.
Shaoyu Keep moving forward.
When he arrived at the center of the school grounds, many people had gathered around him. They were all eight thousand Kumogakure ninjas who wanted to follow him this time. They looked at Shaoyu with their eyes shining.
"Shaoyu Master!"
"Master Shaoyu, when shall we set off?"
"Hit Konoha, right? I've wanted to do it for a long time!"
Shaoyu raised his hand and the crowd fell silent.
Over the years, the prestige of Shaoyu and Kumogakure has reached an extremely high level.
"Leave in three days."
he said.
"In these three days, prepare everything that needs to be prepared. Weapons, armor, dry food, and medicines must all be indispensable. When we set out, I want to see 8,000 people who can fight, not 8,000 people who are a hindrance."
"Yes!"
The sound was loud.
Shaoyu said nothing more, turned around and left.
After he left, the campus became more lively.
"Did you hear that? Three days later!"
"I have been waiting for this day for a long time! Konoha Those grandsons occupy the best place, why?"
"I heard that we are fighting together with Iwagakure this time? Attacking from both sides?"
"It doesn't matter who he goes with, as long as he can fight!"
"Hey, how many Kunai did you bring? I may not have brought enough..."
"Hurry back and get it! Three days is enough for several trips back and forth!"
The crowd dispersed and went back to prepare.
Shaoyu was walking on the way back to his residence, thinking about what to do next.
The mobilization of eight thousand people is no small matter. Route, time, supplies, and intelligence cannot go wrong in anything.
When he returned to his residence, it was already dark.
Keiko's wife came up to him and brought him food. Shaoyu sat down and took a few bites, and suddenly remembered something.
"Where is Shisui?"
Mrs. Keiko said, "In the room, she said she needed to pack things."
Shaoyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
News travels so fast.
After he finished eating, he went to Shisui's room.
The door was open, and Shisui was packing things in the room. A few changes of clothes, a few Kunai, and the commonly used dagger was placed by the bedside. He heard footsteps and turned around.
"Brother."
Shaoyu walked in and looked at the things he packed.
"Are you all ready?"
Shisui nodded. "Almost."
Shaoyu looked at him.
Shisui is no longer young this year. In the past few years, he has been playing with Killer B, and his strength has improved rapidly.
Three-Tomoe Sharingan has used it very skillfully, and Body Flicker Technique has also developed his own style. On the battlefield, he will not be worse than those veteran jounin.
"Come with me this time." Shaoyu said.
Shisui's eyes lit up.
"Really brother?"
Shaoyu nodded.
Shisui wanted to say something, but he held it back. But he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
He is also of a passionate age and longs for a battle to prove himself.
Shaoyu said, "You are old and need experience. If you stay in the village all the time, you will never know what the real battlefield is like."
Shisui nodded vigorously. "I will work hard, brother."
Shaoyu said nothing more and turned to leave.
"Brother," Shisui called him, "Uncle Lianhuo, are you going too?"
Shaoyu turned back. "How do you know?"
Shisui said, "I just saw him sorting out his equipment, and he told people that he would go with his big brother this time."
Shaoyu nodded. "He will follow me."
Shisui didn't ask any more questions.
Shaoyu walked out of Shisui's room and went to Lianhuo's residence.
Lianhuo is the strongest Kumogakure Uchiha Clan besides him and Shisui. Three-Tomoe Sharingan, fire escape is very good, Taijutsu is not bad either.
On weekdays, he handles most of the Uchiha Clan's affairs. Shaoyu is too busy and has no time to take care of those chores, so Lianhuo takes over all of them.
I still need to discuss it with Lianhuo.
Three days later.
The school ground was full of people. Eight thousand Kumogakure ninjas, wearing armor and carrying weapons, stood in a neat line. The sun shone on them, glowing with an iron-grey light.
There were also people standing outside the school grounds. They came to see me off. Old people, women, and children were all here.
Some people are waving, some are calling names, and some are standing in the distance with their children in their arms, always looking here.
Shaoyu stood at the front of the team. Shisui stood one step behind him, with excitement that could not be concealed on his face.
Lianhuo stood on the other side with a calm expression, holding the knife that had been polished for three days in his hand.
Third Raikage came over and stood in front of Shaoyu.
He looked at Shaoyu, and then at the eight thousand ninjas behind him.
"Ready?"
Shaoyu nodded.
Third Raikage patted his shoulder.
"Come back alive."
Shaoyu said, "We will win."
Third Raikage turned around and faced the eight thousand ninjas.
His voice echoed throughout the school grounds.
"Kumogakure's sons and daughters!"
All the eyes of eight thousand people were on him.
"Today you are going to fight! Who are you fighting? It's Konoha! It's Konoha who has had the fat of Land of Fire for decades!"
No one spoke, but everyone's eyes lit up.
"How many years have we Kumogakure been nesting in this ravine? It's so cold in winter that we can't stretch out our hands, and it's so hot that we can't breathe in summer. Why? Why can Konoha people bask in the sun on the plains, but we have to forage for food in the mountains?"
His voice became louder and louder.
"Because we are not strong enough! Because we did not defeat Konoha!"
He pointed at Shaoyu.
"Today, Shaoyu will take you to beat Konoha, the son of eight thousand Kumogakure. After the beating is over, Land of Fire will be ours! The fat meat will be ours!"
The emotions of the eight thousand people were ignited.
"Hit Konoha!"
"Hit Konoha!"
"Hit Konoha!"
The sound shook the ground.
The crowd outside the school grounds also shouted. Some were crying, some were laughing, and some were holding up their children to show them the fathers and brothers who were going to war.
Third Raikage raised his hand and the voice stopped.
He brought Shaoyu to Raikage's Office.
"The weapons you requested some time ago are also prepared for you."
