After hearing Anyo's plan, Xie's whole body sank into the earth and quickly disappeared.
Heavenly Transfer Technique also passed the information to Hanzō. With no way out, he rushed over immediately. All Anyo's plans were ready, and all that was left was to wait for the upcoming war.
Hokage Office, the atmosphere inside was solemn and solemn. The alliance between Kirigakure and Kumogakure was expected. However, Kirigakure's actions were completely puzzling. He was almost using his own wealth to contribute to Kumogakure without getting any benefits at all.
Not only that, the Root members hidden inside Kumogakure were discovered, the truth about the death of Third Raikage was exposed, Kumogakure and Iwagakure officially ceased war, Iwagakure The situation at Battlefield took a turn for the worse. Team Minato, who was deep behind enemy lines, lost contact with Ye at the same time. Sunagakure was also preparing to stir up trouble inside. It can be said that Konoha ushered in its darkest moment.
Danzo stared at Third Hokage with a sneer on his face and said, "Hiruzen, this is what you said about Third Shinobi World War coming to an end. I think the coming end is the entire Konoha."
Third Hokage directly ignored Danzo's words and was sorting out all the recently obtained information with a sad face. He was very curious as to what went wrong and why the originally good situation was destroyed in an instant.
Faced with Third Hokage's disregard, Danzo was completely angry. He strode forward and slapped Hokage Office hard. He said with a fierce look in one eye, "Back then..."
"Shut up." Faced with Danzo's push, Third Hokage finally responded. His thin body carried a strong aura, and there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes.
Danzo, who hadn't seen his expression for a long time, was stunned and really closed his mouth.
"Konoha will not perish in my hands. It is not an organization to me. Konoha will be born and breed many Ninja every year. Then they will fight, even if they die, to protect what they cherish. I Likewise, if we want to fight, we will fight. I will not shrink back or be afraid. But you, Danzo, I know you are scared, just like back then." Third Hokage's words were like a sharp sword tearing open the fig leaf in Danzo's heart.
"You..." Danzo's chest rose and fell, and a strong murderous intent emerged from his eyes. This incident was a thorn in his heart. He had recalled the situation countless times. If he was the one who spoke first, Master Second Hokage would probably pass Hokage Position to me.
"Without Konoha, your ideals are empty talk. After Third Shinobi World War, I will take all responsibilities and step down from Hokage Position." Third Hokage Ignoring Danzo's anger, he said to himself, "Now, take out all the information. I know that there are many of your Root members lurking outside. I want to see how bad the situation has deteriorated."
When Danzo heard Third Hokage's plan, the bad breath in his heart was inexplicably relieved, and he snorted coldly, "It's good that you know, the situation is far worse than you imagined."
Although Danzo has been secretly against Third Hokage, he has always been very measured in Konoha's major matters. Soon, he gave all the information he collected to Third Hokage.
"What, the missing night is actually in Kikyo Mountain Base." Third Hokage was surprised when he saw this information. Then, another piece of information made his heart sink completely. "Minato was actually jointly besieged by Raikage and Tsuchikage. He doesn't know whether he is alive or dead."
The last piece of information really brought him despair. "Four-Nation Alliance, Konoha Crush Plan."
Third Hokage looked at the information with some trembling and said, "Is the information accurate?"
"For this information, almost all of my latent members were mobilized and suffered unprecedented heavy losses. The information contained the blood of each of them, what do you think?" Danzo's heart was bleeding.
As a generation of Shinobi Hero, Third Hokage quickly calmed down. Since the situation has deteriorated, the most important thing now is to face it. "Let Shinku lead the younger generation Ninja in the village to hide, leave Konoha, and go to the old location of the Senju Clan."
"Now that they have formed an alliance, they will inevitably engage in frontal combat, allowing the huge Allied Forces to expand and take advantage of their numbers." Third Hokage looked at the map aside and quickly locked on a location. "Kikyo Mountain, after they form an alliance, the first place the army will attack must be here."
The analysis of Third Hokage and Anyo are surprisingly consistent.
Danzo looked at the person in front of him, and an inexplicable admiration suddenly welled up in his heart. When he saw this information, the first reaction in his heart was fear, but Hiruzen Sarutobi calmed down immediately and responded immediately. It seems that the teacher's choice back then may not have been wrong.
After coming back to his senses, Danzo heard a sentence that he had only dreamed of before.
"Konoha is temporarily left to you."
Danzo reacted. "Are you going to Kikyo Mountain?"
"Yes."
"No, you can't go."
"Why?" Third Hokage said in surprise, "It should be a good thing for you that I am dead."
At this time, Danzo was extremely calm. "Kikyo Mountain Base is very important, but not as important as Konoha. As Hokage, you should stick to the last Hideout. Once you die early on Kikyo Mountain, Konoha will be finished."
Third Hokage also knows this, but if he doesn't go to Kikyo Mountain, Tsunade and Ye alone can't stop Four-Nation Allied Forces.
"Everyone can sacrifice for the village, and so can they." Danzo said very coldly, "What's more, their deaths will not be worthless. With them at the front, our other Battlefield's Ninja will have time to return to support and fight the final decisive battle in Konoha."
"Assign them a mission, Hiruzen."
Third Hokage fell into deep thought and was speechless for a long time.
Soldiers are very fast. The moment Four Countries officially formed the alliance, several shadows had already divided the work. Tsuchikage and Raikage were the first to deal with Konoha's star of hope, Yellow Flash. Minato Namikaze, and then attack Konoha along the Kusagakure Battlefield opened by Iwagakure, rushing in as a surprise force.
Mizukage and Kazekage jointly commanded Allied Shinobi Forces, Iwagakure dispatched Ninja with a number of 7,000 people, and Kirigakure with 5,000 people. Kumogakure has 6,000 people and Sunagakure has 5,000 people (the actual number is mostly Puppet). The total number of people has reached an astonishing 23,000 people, forming the most powerful legion since the birth of Shinobi World.
Three days later.
The assembled army set out for the last barrier of Konoha, Kikyo Mountain...
Tsunade of Kikyo Mountain Base had already learned the news. Standing on the top of the mountain, she looked at the approaching army in the distance. She felt her hands and feet were cold and despaired. She didn't even notice Anyo appearing beside her.
"Are you scared?" Anyo asked softly.
Tsunade glanced at him and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
Anyo smiled lightly, "It's okay."
Infected by Anyo's attitude, Tsunade's mentality relaxed a lot, and he understood many things in his heart. "Did you already know that, so that's why you stayed here and didn't leave."
Anyo admitted. "Yes."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Tsunade was puzzled.
"It's useless to talk. I wanted you to leave, but you refused."
"Why don't you leave?"
"You are here, how can I leave?"
"Behind me is Konoha, so I can't leave." Tsunade suddenly laughed, took the initiative to hug Anyo and said, "I actually know you very well. You don't even care about your family, let alone the village. It's not important in your heart at all, right? So, you can leave."
