Land of Night, General's Residence.
In Tenshu Tower, even in the absence of the general and the general's agent, the functions of this mansion are still operating efficiently, managing the huge country in an orderly manner, and there is no reason for the outbreak of war to cause turmoil in the country.
After Yayoi and Irori left, the people responsible for running this General's Residence were none other than Aoi and Rinko.
As Yayoi's side rooms, they are different from other women. They are always around Yayoi and are responsible for handling various chores of General's Residence. When Yayoi and Irori were still there, they were involved in almost all aspects of General's Residence's work.
She is also the woman who has participated in government affairs the most and has performed her duties the longest among the many side offices of Yayoi. She is also the core of the normal operation of this department of the Secretarial Administration Department.
Well, she is completely different from a certain red-haired miko who spends all her time at Inner Court.
Although the abilities of the two of them may not be outstanding, and it is the first time that they have shown their talents on their own after leaving Yayoi and Irori, Yayoi's requirements for them are not high, and they can just handle the affairs as usual.
Don't seek merit, but seek no faults, and don't do any strange and strange things that are beyond the original plan.
Regarding this, not only Yayoi is extremely confident, but Aoi and Rinko are also very confident.
They belong to the type who lose their leader and find it difficult to take charge of their own work, but since General Yayoi made various arrangements before leaving, they only need to handle government affairs step by step.
Not to mention, before Yayoi left, he also set up multiple safeguards for them.
For example, Samurai is the leader Kurobei, off-site support Seven-Tails, time and place limited swordsman Samurai Miyamoto Raizo, and an army of 10,000 puppets controlled by Naraku.
Well, we can't forget the Uzumaki Clan woman in Inner Court.
Hisana has been specially trained by Kicho and was taken out for training. He has a certain amount of combat experience. It may not be very rich, but killing people is as natural as eating cookies.
Putting aside Nene, who has little combat power, this elite-level Jonin is equivalent to the sum of several Jonins, and can also play a great role.
Not to mention, Security Forces and the wartime reserve force ninjas, Samurai also left a lot behind.
With such a strong and astonishing force, and the fact that they are always surrounded by Yayoi and Irori, there are not many things that really make Aoi and Rinko undecided.
"Ah, I'm finally done. I've suddenly had a lot more work recently."
Rinko sat on the large and soft chair. After finishing the last piece of government affairs, he put down the pen in his hand and couldn't help but stretch.
"There is no way, who would have known that Land of Fields suddenly became chaotic. Fortunately, my husband left a solution before leaving."
Aoi also turned her head and glanced at the thick night outside the window. Her soft words also contained a hint of exhaustion.
But when I think of the people fighting on the front lines, this fatigue seems insignificant.
After all, compared to those ninjas and Samurai who need to fight bloody battles, they just sit in the office and deal with government affairs, which is a very happy thing.
And because of the outbreak of the war, Aoi couldn't help but remember that when she was a child, she also followed her family's ninja team and participated in battles with other ninja clans.
Even with Byakugan, I have been in life and death crises several times.
Her ability to survive at that time had more to do with luck than strength.
The situation at Rinko was similar. With their little strength at the time, they only had the option of following the crowd.
Although they are now better than before, their strength has grown a lot under the joint training of Yayoi and Kicho, and they have barely reached the Jonin level.
But they haven't done anything directly in almost twenty years, and they have long forgotten what it was like to fight to the death with someone the last time.
"The frontline over there at Land of Hot Water is under a lot of pressure. So many troops have been invested, and the main force of Konoha is here. But in the end, ninjas from Hidden Cloud Village and Hidden Mist Village are lurking in to cause damage... I don't know if more troops are needed over there."
Rinko hesitated before speaking and frowned.
"It shouldn't be necessary. After all, there is no official request for help there, and the enemy's small force can only penetrate into the Land of Fields area at most."
Aoi thought seriously for a moment and felt that she should stay put.
Although Land of Night's remaining power is actually a bit excessive, a considerable part of that excess power is concentrated on the puppet troops numbering in the tens of thousands.
As for the ninjas and Samurai who stayed behind, they are basically Genin and Lower Samurai. Many of them are the new generation who have not grown up in their teens and twenties. The talented ones like Doichi and Mifune who are Jonin and Upper Samurai at such a young age are in the minority after all.
Most ninjas and Samurai gradually gain the strength of Chunin or Intermediate Samurai in their twenties or thirties.
Beings who can become Jonin or Upper Samurai must either have a special bloodline or have very high talents. They need one.
And this type of high-level elites, basically during their school days, have shown amazing strength that is different from ordinary people.
"It seems like this is the only way to go..."
Rinko Although he is worried, he also knows that Aoi's words are right.
Yayoi The job left to them is to maintain stability. Without a clear request for support from the front line, they cannot make arbitrary decisions.
What's more, the smoke of war only burned Land of Fields, not Land of Night. The emergence of this situation was itself planned.
Rather, the occurrence of this situation is actually beneficial to Land of Night itself.
It's time to use the hands of Hidden Cloud Village and Hidden Mist Village to clean up the rebellious elements in Land of Fields.

The battlefield situation in all aspects has almost entered a stalemate stage.
At the beginning, the scene of ending the war in one fell swoop and beating the enemy to his knees and surrendering did not go as planned by the parties that started the war.
Especially Kumogakure, the strategy was directly transferred to the homeland of his country, and a Battle for the Land of Lightning started with great excitement.
Many countries thought that Kumogakure wanted to do a big job, but in the end he really did a big job.
It is the only country among big countries that was pushed back to the mainland by a small country.
Most of the many small countries that were oppressed by Hidden Cloud Village in the past may not dare to express their stance openly, but it is not difficult to sneer and sneer secretly to stumble Land of Lightning.
There are also some tough small countries that use various roundabout ways to fund Land of Night various strategic materials.
It directly shows that as long as Land of Night dares to fight Land of Lightning and Kumogakure, then they will dare to play with the group.
Although the occurrence of this situation was unexpected by Yayoi, it makes sense if you think about it carefully. After all, small countries have suffered for a long time as big countries.
Since Warring States Era, it has been squeezed by big countries. Entering the era of One Country, One Village, it is still squeezed by big countries. However, due to the emergence of God of Shinobi, the way big countries squeeze small countries has made their food look much better, and they will also give small countries some soup to avoid starving to death.
However, with the death of God of Shinobi, some major countries simply stopped pretending.
Among them, big countries like Land of Lightning, which are rampant in martial arts, squeeze and erode small countries the most fiercely.
This is also the core reason why many small countries feel sorry for God of Shinobi. Because of his existence, he has really established a stable order that allows small countries to develop safely.
Second Hokage Tobirama, although the ideas are more realistic, basically continue some of the policies of Hashirama, except that on some sensitive matters, they pay more attention to weighing the pros and cons than before.
But now it is not easy to find a small country that can make a big country like Land of Lightning suffer. Naturally, it will bet on it openly or covertly.
However, facing the layout of Land of Night in the west of Land of Lightning, the main force of Hidden Cloud Village who stayed behind Land of Lightning became increasingly uncomfortable.
Because since the fierce pursuit at the beginning, General of the Land of Night's offensive has completely gone silent. Instead, it has built defensive fortifications, deployed everywhere, and also controlled a large puppet army. Yotsuki Kōmon and other Hidden Cloud Village executives have always been unable to figure out the specific details of Land of Night.
Currently, they are investigating Land of Night's main force left behind in Land of Lightning, but have not received accurate information, so they are trying to avoid the enemy and do not dare to implement the counterattack plan.
The only thing that is certain is that the number of Land of Night's main force, plus the puppet force, will not be low.
And as the two sides launched guerrilla warfare, Kumogakure soon discovered a very surprising fact.
That is, every time they go into guerrilla warfare with a small force, they basically have no advantage when facing the ninjas of Land of Night and Samurai.
