Land of Earth, Iwagakure.
This fortress village built on the huge Rock mountain is currently shrouded in a tense atmosphere of imminent rain.
Ōnoki is inside Office.
In front of him, spread out were several reports that had just been urgently submitted by Intelligence Division.
Ōnoki once again read the unbelievable but unbelievable information in the report. His wrinkled face had a frown, and the groove-like nasolabial folds became deeper due to exertion, showing that he was extremely uneasy in his heart.
What do First, Second Hokage and Fourth Hokage mean?
Each of these names represents a peak in the history of Shinobi World, an existence that is enough to make any strong Kage Level feel troublesome or even desperate.
What is Sixth Hokage Naruto Uzumaki and Perfect Jinchuriki?
Perfect Jinchuriki means that the destructive power of Nine-Tails will be completely controlled, and its threat level will increase exponentially.
A man ran to the gate of your village, then transformed directly into Tailed Beast and attacked arbitrarily, and then escaped as an adult...
Which village doesn't feel uncomfortable after encountering it?
It would be okay if we met the strong Kage Level alone, but the village is full of people!
How on earth did this Konoha do it?
How old is that little devil?
Also, what do you mean Land of Grass was defeated in one day?
Although Land of Grass is Small Country, it also has certain strength.
One day?
This is no longer a war, this is simply crushing.
The military power and operational efficiency displayed by Konoha are so terrifying that it is suffocating!
And the last news he received, and the one that chilled his heart the most, was...
The border defense has been breached, Sixth Hokage has entered the territory of Land of Earth, and is heading towards Iwagakure!
The line of defense is like paper!
The opponent's goal is clear and direct, which is to go straight to Huanglong!
Ōnoki felt a deep sense of powerlessness and anger intertwined.
Since receiving the first abnormality report, he immediately took countermeasures.
Someone was sent to urgently contact the "Akatsuki" organization, which had a good reputation in the mercenary market, and tried to spend a lot of money to hire them to assist in the defense and even sniper the invading enemies.
But...Ōnoki knows in his heart that no matter how strong the "Akatsuki" organization is and how mysterious the rumors are, let them have a "touch" with the three resurrected Hokage, especially the one God of Shinobi Hashirama Senju...
That's still too much to force them to do.
Ōnoki even feels that this is a bit like seeking medical treatment in a hurry.
But he had no choice. Iwagakure suffered too heavy losses in the last Shinobi World war. Although it has recovered somewhat in recent years, its high-end combat power is still stagnant.
Facing such an outrageous combination of enemies, the only external help he could think of was "Akatsuki".
At the same time, he immediately issued the highest-level mobilization order, ordering all Iwagakure Ninja who were outside to return to the village as quickly as possible, gather all their forces, and rely on Iwagakure's easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack terrain and the fortifications that have been in operation for many years to work together to see if they could... resist Konoha's thunderous attack.
"See if you can"
Even when he said the word, he felt bitter.
In addition, Ōnoki has not forgotten diplomatic efforts.
He has sent the most elite and reliable messengers, carrying detailed intelligence on Konoha's abnormal movements, to Land of Lightning Kumogakure, Land of Water Kirigakure and Land of Wind Sunagakure.
On the one hand, it warns them that the threat of Konoha has gone beyond the normal scope; on the other hand, it also persuades them to temporarily put aside their past grudges and consider joining forces to jointly resist Konoha's table-shaking "unification war."
After doing all this, Ōnoki's heart is still as heavy as iron.
He once again set his sights on the sentence in the report, "A unification war launched to end the war and bring about a more lasting peace."
"What a unified war for peace!"
Ōnoki Just like when he read it several times before, the anger in his chest was ignited again. He slammed the report in his hand on the desk with a muffled "snap" sound.
"Humph! It's just naked aggression and ambition expressed in such a high-sounding way!"
"This Naruto Uzumaki, this Sixth... it doesn't seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp! They are even more unreasonable than those fools like Kumogakure!"
Along with the anger, a trace of worry quietly crept into my heart.
Roshi That guy... has been out wandering around for so long,
Have you met that Sixth Hokage?
With Roshi's upright and fiery temper, if we meet him, I'm afraid he won't sit idly by and ignore it... What will be the result?
Ōnoki dare not think deeply.
Although Roshi is strong, Jinchūriki is still far behind Nine-Tails...
Just when Ōnoki was upset, angry and worried, his door Office was pushed open.
An energetic, slightly teasing girl's voice rang out:
"What's the matter, old man? Are you so angry here alone?"
Ōnoki Hearing the sound, the anger in his chest couldn't help but extinguish.
Because the person who pushed the door in was his granddaughter, Kurotsuchi.
Kurotsuchi has neat short black hair, a beautiful face with a heroic spirit, and wears a brown Red Eyes Ninja suit that is easy to move around, with a Ninja Tool Pouch tied around his waist. He looks capable and full of vigor.
She came in carefree Earth Flow, curiously looking at the messy documents on her grandfather's desk and his ugly face.
Seeing that it was his granddaughter, Ōnoki's tense nerves relaxed slightly, but he immediately put on a straight face and showed the majesty of a grandfather and Tsuchikage:
"Kurotsuchi? Didn't I ask you to stay at Training Ground and prepare for this year's Chunin Ninja Exams? Why did you come here?"
He remembered that his granddaughter passed the Chunin selection not long ago. It should be a time to consolidate her strength and accumulate experience. She should not run around, especially in this sensitive period.
When Kurotsuchi heard this, instead of being frightened, she burst out laughing. She walked to the desk, playfully pointed her finger at the brown Red Eyes Chunin uniform on her body, then pointed at the Iwagakure Forehead Protector on her forehead, and winked:
"Hey! Old man, are you really busy and confused? Have you forgotten?"
She puffed up her chest with a little pride:
"I have passed Chunin Ninja Exams a long time ago, and I am the serious Chunin! You put this dress on me with your own hands at that time!"
Ōnoki was stunned for a moment when she said this, and then patted his forehead with some embarrassment. The angry look on his face was completely replaced by a trace of helplessness and pampering:
"Oh... look at my memory."
He shook his head and softened his voice, "Yes, yes, I was so busy that I forgot about it.
Our Kurotsuchi has long been Chunin. Time flies so fast..."
Looking at her granddaughter's youthful and confident face, the gloom in Ōnoki's heart seemed to be dispelled, but then, deeper worries surged up again.
How long can the peace and daily life before us last?
Where will this sudden storm sweep Iwagakure and the younger generation like Kurotsuchi?
Kurotsuchi was keenly aware of the flash of heaviness in her grandfather's eyes. She put away her joking expression and asked seriously, "Old man, what happened?
The atmosphere in the village doesn't seem right lately."
Ōnoki looked at his granddaughter's concerned eyes, opened his mouth, and finally just sighed.
He waved his hand. "Nothing, some diplomatic troubles.
You go about your business, remember, don't leave the village too far recently, and pay attention to safety when training."
Kurotsuchi knew that her grandfather was hiding something from her, but seeing that he didn't want to say more, she nodded sensibly. "Yes, I understand. Old man, please pay attention to your health. Don't die before I defeat you and become Tsuchikage."
After saying that, she glanced at Ōnoki again, then turned and left Office.
The door was closed again, and only Ōnoki was left in the room.
He looked back at the report that had been thrown on the table, his eyes becoming extremely sharp and firm.
No matter how powerful the enemy is, no matter how bleak the prospect is, he Third Tsuchikage, as the guardian of Iwagakure, will never sit still and wait for death!
"Come on, Konoha brat... let me Ōnoki of Both Scales see how much you Sixth Hokage weighs!"
