The silence in the tent was deafening!
Takahashi Yū's red coat seemed about to be blown off by the force of these Jonin's presence!
Who wouldn't want to?
Why had Konoha's eastern front always fought on the defensive?
Because Kumogakure moved too fast, especially the Third Raikage.
The Cloud Shinobi were all skilled in Lightning Release, striking fast and retreating fast in lightning warfare!
Every time Kumogakure's movements were discovered, the camp inevitably suffered losses!
Those losses were the lives of Konoha Ninja!
The lives of their friends and family!
With the war nearing its end, the soldiers' happiness had been genuine, but they had merely buried the seeds of hatred deep in their hearts.
"Revenge!!"
A plump Akimichi clansman, tears in his fierce eyes, was the first among the Jonin to shout the word that turned grief and anger into strength.
"My partner! My team members! They all died at Kumogakure's hands!"
"If Kumogakure surrendered, their sacrifices wouldn't have been in vain. I could accept that!"
"But Lord Danzo, if there's a chance for revenge..."
"Count me in!!!"
The rotund Akimichi Daixiong raised his hand high to signal his commander. His eyes were bloodshot, and the tears welling in them finally spilled.
"What the fuck are you talking about, fatty?!"
"What do you mean, just you?!"
"Let's fucking fight!!"
At Akimichi Daixiong's furious shout, everyone in the tent reddened around the eyes, looking like little "demons."
This was the battlefield with Konoha's highest death and disability rates in the Second Shinobi World War.
Who hadn't lost a teammate or friend on this front?
Chaotic discussions and angry curses filled the tent. Danzo did not stop them, allowing these Jonin to vent their emotions.
The overlapping voices finally converged into a single word within the tent.
"Revenge!!"
"Revenge!!!"
Damn
