Naruto spoke, obviously smiling, but the words he said made everyone Iwagakure below shudder.
"Face the warning of 'indiscriminate attack', no one immediately evacuated civilians and organized defense..."
He paused and glanced at the angry, confused, or nervous faces below, and the corners of his mouth curved in an almost vicious arc:
"Do you think the four hours I gave you... are too long? Do you think I'm bluffing?
Or are you saying that Iwagakure and Ninja are ready to live and die with the village, and even to fight and die together with the civilians?"
These words were like a cold awl, piercing the hearts of Ōnoki and all Iwagakure Ninja. Especially the word "die in battle", with a certain cruel determination, made many people turn pale.
Naruto seemed to be very satisfied with the effect he had caused. He raised a finger and shook it gently, and his tone suddenly turned cold:
"Well, since you think you have enough time..."
"Then change it to three and a half hours."
"The time starts from now, and the attack will begin in three and a half hours."
He directly shortened the time limit by half an hour! This is naked pressure and provocation. It is also a test of Iwagakure's reaction speed and execution ability. It is also a further blow to Tsuchikage's authority - even the evacuation order cannot be executed immediately?
"Asshole!!!"
Ōnoki finally could no longer remain silent, and he let out an extremely suppressed roar. The voice was full of rage, shame, and extreme dissatisfaction with the slow response of his subordinates!
Just now, his mind was completely occupied by the capture of Kurotsuchi, the strength of Naruto, and the possible destruction of the village, so he did not give any immediate orders.
Naruto's words were like a wake-up call, instantly waking him up from the painful torment.
Evacuate! You must evacuate immediately! Every second you delay, Iwagakure is in danger!
He lowered his head suddenly, his eyes swept downwards like a searchlight, and instantly locked onto the burly son Kitsuchi in the crowd, who was also a little dazed due to the sudden change in the situation!
"Kitsuchi! What are you doing?! Why are you so dazed?!"
Ōnoki almost roared the order:
"Hurry! Immediately! Immediately! Organize all personnel and follow the highest emergency plan to evacuate all civilians to shelters outside the village! Hurry!"
The shelter in the village cannot be used at all, Tailed Beast Bomb doesn't care whether you are above ground or underground.
"And you! What are you doing standing there?! Didn't you hear the order?! Protect civilians! Evacuate! Act immediately!"
The roar of Ōnoki was like thunder, echoing over Iwagakure.
That short body burst out with astonishing momentum and unquestionable majesty at this moment, instantly dispelling some of the confusion and stagnation in Ninja's heart.
Kitsuchi, who was named and reprimanded by his father, was shocked, and a flash of shame flashed across his face.
As the son of Iwagakure's important Jonin and Ōnoki, he should have realized what to do at the first moment, but he was frightened and overwhelmed by the momentum emanating from the enemy.
"Yes! Lord Tsuchikage!"
Kitsuchi suddenly came back to his senses. There was no hesitation on his face, and he immediately showed his qualities as a commander.
"All Chunin and Genin, immediately follow the "Tiger-Wolf-Tiger" emergency evacuation plan and work in teams to assist civilians in evacuating the village. Priority is given to ensuring the safety of people and secondarily the safety of property."
"Jonin gather! Form a temporary defense front, guard the sky, and be ready to respond to sudden attacks at any time!
Sensing class, expand the scope of Sensing, monitor all abnormalities Chakra!
Medical Team, prepare to receive possible wounded!"
A series of clear and urgent commands came from Kitsuchi's mouth.
As the son of Ōnoki, Kitsuchi is still very good at commanding. After receiving the order, he started to command.
Although there was still concern for Kurotsuchi and anger towards the enemy in his eyes, duty and Tsuchikage's orders overcame everything else.
As Kitsuchi's order was issued, Iwagakure, which had been stagnant, began to operate as if it was instantly injected with vitality.
The Ninjas below finally woke up from a dream. Although their faces were still filled with tension and resentment, their actions were carried out quickly and orderly.
Chunin and Genin quickly dispersed and rushed to each Corner in the village. Using loudspeakers, whistles and even knocking on doors and shouting, they urged and guided the civilians to leave their homes. According to the predetermined route, under the protection of Ninja, they swarmed out of the village like a tide.
Crying, urging, children crying, objects colliding...
The previous dead silence was instantly broken, and Iwagakure fell into a chaotic but orderly emergency evacuation state.
The Jonins quickly gathered below Ōnoki and around Tsuchikage Building, forming a tight defensive formation. Kunai, Explosive Tag and Ninjutsu were ready to go, warily looking up at Naruto and the light in the sky, as well as the unconscious Kurotsuchi in their hands.
Sensing Ninja closed their eyes and unfolded Sensing with all their strength, while Medical Ninjutsu Ninja began to clean up the site and prepare first aid supplies.
Ōnoki looked at the evacuation work below that had finally begun to operate efficiently, and felt a little relieved.
Then he looked at Naruto.
Ōnoki took a deep breath and spoke as calmly as possible but still with suppressed anger:
"Your Excellency..."
Even though I want to tear the other person apart in my heart, I still need to be patient now.
"Iwagakure... It seems that I have never taken the initiative to provoke you, or formed any deep hatred with you, right?"
"Why... invade us?"
Ōnoki stared at the expression changes of Naruto and the girl beside him.
It is impossible to say that there is no deep hatred. The other party's father gained the fame of "Yellow Flash" by killing Ninja of Iwagakure.
To Naruto, the topic that Ōnoki approached sounded almost ridiculously childish.
"Heh."
Naruto chuckled. There was no warmth in the laughter, only deep sarcasm and teasing.
He did not answer immediately, but asked:
"Mr. Ōnoki, in the past, you Iwagakure, together with other Shinobi Village, repeatedly tried to invade Land of Fire to seize resources and expand territory. That's not what you said."
Naruto keenly noticed that the old man kept his temper suppressed from beginning to end. Even when he was extremely angry and his granddaughter was captured, he still called himself "Your Excellency" instead of calling himself by his first name or using derogatory names such as "kid".
This actually made Naruto give him a high look.
I came as Hokage, and I do have strong strength. The old man Ōnoki is still afraid.
To be able to sit in the position of Tsuchikage and sit for such a long time, he is indeed not a reckless man who can only get angry.
This old Kid is just like the big fool Raikage. On the surface, he is strong and easily affected by emotions, but in fact, his inner calculations are louder than anyone else's.
