After listening carefully for three seconds to hear what was happening outside, the Second Elder's previously listless spirit suddenly changed.
The cloudy eyes cleared up again!
" Hayata, quick, take me to the Government Affairs Hall!"
When he uttered these words, the old man had not been able to stand up for six months.
Struggling to stand up while holding onto the chair!
"Bang!"
The speed was too fast, it crashed into the gate, and Hayata Senju.
Seeing the old man by the pond, who had regained his spirits, his eyes involuntarily reddened!
But as the old man's only grandson, he knew the old man's personality very well and was even more aware of his health!
Suppressing his grief, he quickly went forward and carried the old man on his back.
Powered by Chakra, they charged towards the Government Affairs Hall!
The four gates of the Senju Clan Compound.
They closed the gates of the clan's territory the moment the bell rang.
Furthermore, these Ninja guarding the gate even drew their swords and stood atop the wall!
And then the Senju Clan took action.
A surge of Chakra carrying boundless evil swept across the entire Konoha!
She made no attempt to hide the anger in her heart.
That immense malice sent a chill down the spines of every living being in Konoha!
Outside the Senju Clan Compound.
Ordinary people off work and Ninja, each with their own mood, showed various expressions as they looked at everything around them.
Those who passed through the Senju Clan Compound heard the piercing alarm.
They were all still wondering where the sound was coming from!
However, once the source of the sound was identified...
All they could see was a distant place where many humanoid objects with blue halos were moving back and forth!
Ordinary people didn't experience any particular emotion upon seeing this scene.
They were simply puzzled as to why that Clan was making such a jarring sound.
But given the huge difference in their social status, even if they were dissatisfied, they only dared to grumble to themselves.
The Ninja who happened to be passing by heard the alarm and saw the blue humanoid figures on the Senju Wall.
Their expressions immediately changed!
But before they could figure out the reason or run back to report to their Clan...
A massive surge of malevolent Chakra swept across!
moment--
Chickens flew and dogs barked; horses neighed and donkeys brayed!
Those ordinary people who were less timid only felt a chill in their groin, and a stream of warm water involuntarily seeped out!
Regardless of their strength, all the Konoha Ninja had goosebumps appearing on their character panels!
Now there's no need to look for the cause.
The Clan no longer needs to report!
Because anyone with a bit of knowledge and ability knows that this fluctuation swept across the entire village!
Those Senju and allied Ninja who worked in various departments within the village.
The wave swept across the area as if it were a signal.
They immediately dropped what they were doing, channeled their Chakra, leaped across the rooftops, and rushed toward their respective clan territories.
The Ninja of the neutral Shinobi Clan were doing the same thing.
Although they didn't know what had happened, it was clear that the outside world was no longer a suitable place for people to stay!
Even the Uchiha's exclusive Konoha Military Police Force responded to this disturbance.
The Uchiha Ninja were quickly gathering and returning to their Clan's territory!
Inside the Hokage Building, as that fluctuation swept through...
Even the fully armed Hiruzen Sarutobi and Utatane Koharu felt a chill run down their spines!
Such a commotion meant that the old woman was truly angry.
As for the cause...
This is most likely information coming from the front lines.
The consequences, however, are things they cannot accurately predict!
But things had come to this point, and they had no choice but to take up arms.
Currently, all Four Clans have people they have arranged to make preparations in advance.
The two of them stayed here not only to gather Commoners Ninja teams, but also...
There was another little-known motive: to draw fire to their own Clan!
Otherwise, what if that old woman throws away the Tailed Beast Bomb right now?
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the elderly, women, and children of their respective tribes were not evacuated.
Now, the two could only pray that the battlefield or they themselves could completely draw the old woman's attention.
Given some time, the Four Clans can arrange their retreat.
Then they won't have to be so afraid of the old woman and kill all the women, children, and elders of their Four Clans!
"Immediately summon Ninja, and have elderly women and guards escort those without combat ability into the sanctuary!"
Similar words echoed among the Uchiha, Hyūga, Ino-Shika-Cho, and other Shinobi Clan after that Chakra swept over them.
But the Senju ' allies are a different story!
"The elderly and children will be escorted to Senju by combat personnel. Supplies will be distributed from the warehouse. Anyone who blocks the way will be killed!"
Inuzuka Clan, Aburame, Hatake, Kurama, Yuhi, Kato, and the newly joined Gekko.
They all displayed an attitude befitting allies!
The outside world was in an uproar because of that fluctuation and the warning from the Senju.
Inside the Senju Clan Compound!
"Third Uncle, what's going on?" A Young Man of about fifteen or sixteen asked the person next to him as he put on his armor.
"Hurry up and put on your armor. We'll go collect the supplies later. Don't panic, the adults should be here soon!" The middle-aged man, who was putting on his armor, replied without even looking up.
"Okay, sure!"
"Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother, help me remove the tape?" A little boy, only six or seven years old and not yet wearing armor, called out to the Young Man next to him who was a few years older.
Upon hearing his younger brother's words, the Young Man, who was not yet properly dressed himself, quickly helped his brother get dressed.
But as he put on his armor, he couldn't help but mutter, "I'm not even as tall as a sword, and I can't even put on armor properly. What are you doing here?"
The words had barely left his mouth when he remembered the different Clan rules regarding alarms.
It reminds me of the saying, "When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact!"
But... this is my younger brother!
With a sigh, the Young Man spoke again, instructing, "Stay close to me. Wherever I go, you go. Don't do anything reckless!"
"Okay, Sixth Brother!" After putting on his armor, the little radish head replied nonchalantly.
He then continued to show off the short sword his family had made to his friends!
Because the base personnel were released ahead of schedule, there are quite a few Ninja currently at home!
Although they all spoke softly in the square.
But even when all the noises were gathered together, the square at the main entrance of the Senju Temple was still filled with a buzzing sound!
"Line up to receive supplies, distributed according to rank, each team taking turns!"
When the bell rang, the Senju weapon shop in Konoha packed up and rushed back.
Meanwhile, the Senju Clan Grounds's armory was opened by Logistics personnel when the bell rang!
After setting down the boxes they were carrying and giving the order, the Logistics team began setting up a platform to distribute the supplies.
Inside the council chamber.
Upon hearing the bell ring, Senju Toka, who was greeting her clansmen, immediately returned to the Clan Leader's Office.
Only she and Mito have permission to open bells of this rank at the four gates of the clan's territory.
If nothing was done on my end, then who did?
The question had just popped into her mind.
Senju Toka already knew the answer in her heart!
Four gates are impossible, because this is inside the village.
The only use for the ringtone license is that Mito keeps it.
That was his nephew!
Are you panicking?
Panic!
Are you scared?
Afraid!
That was his only bloodline, the only offspring left by his younger brother.
It also represents the hope for the next revival of the Senju!
Both publicly and privately, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
But as the head of the Senju Clan Head, this is all she can and should do.
They then donned their armor and proceeded to the Meeting Hall.
Then, based on the intelligence, specific tasks will be assigned!
She, as the clan leader, was even reluctant to go to provide support.
According to the previously agreed-upon plan, she was to remain in the village to oversee the situation and be ready to take action against Sarutobi and the others at any moment!
"Clang!"
He picked up the sword on the wall and habitually drew it out to examine it.
After confirming everything was correct, Senju Toka had already donned her armor, left the office.
They walked toward the Meeting Hall, accompanied by the guards waiting at the door.
"Chief!"
"Chief!"
"Chief!"
Everyone they encountered along the way bowed their heads in respect.
After sitting down in the very center of the council chamber...
Looking at the Second Elder being carried on his grandson's back, and the red-haired Mito Uzumaki, who exuded a murderous aura, wore a white robe and a golden crown.
Not long after Senju Toka, the person closest to her, arrived.
One after another, Senju high-ranking members who remained in the village arrived at the Meeting Hall!
" Lady Mito, explain the situation!" Senju Toka said to the left as she saw the last person enter.
As the clan leader's voice rang out, everyone present, except for the Second Elder, sat up straight!
" Uka Senju has requested reinforcements, sending out a level three alert. Clan leader, we must get there as soon as possible!"
Mito Uzumaki looked to be around twenty years old, no longer had her former unhurried demeanor.
She spoke very quickly, recounting the information she had received!
The third-level designation—most of the people present understood what it meant.
So after Mito finished speaking, no one present moved an inch.
Their faces turned pale!
Remaining silent indicates that you are letting things take their course.
His pale face indicated that he couldn't express his anger towards the person who attacked him as he usually did!
After hearing Mito Uzumaki's words, there was no need for much thought.
Senju Toka immediately commanded, " Senju Nobusada, Senju Nobuhiko, Senju Nobuhide, immediately prepare the Flying Thunder God Formation according to the coordinates."
"Yes, clan leader!" Three people of similar age to Uka bowed at the door and immediately began preparing for the calculations outside!
It's not that there aren't any adults in the Senju, but rather that the technique is too difficult; these three are practically the only ones in the Senju Clan who can learn it.
But because they know this skill, they don't have to go out on missions; they have to be ready to serve as backup at any time!
" Senju Tsukika, prepare your men in batches. You will take one person Lady Mito with you first!"
"Yes, clan leader!" Wearing armor and with her face still unrepaired, Senju Tsukika bowed and walked out.
After stepping down from her position as head of Uka Senju, she took over and organized an elite squad.
There aren't many people here; including her, there are only fifteen!
But these people are all Elite Jonin only know how to kill, or rather, who exist solely for killing!
"I'll go first. You all arrange the follow-up as soon as possible!" Mito Uzumaki stood up and said to the head of the group.
After saying that, she walked out of the hall!
The Flying Thunder God Formation formation there has been completed.
As Mito Uzumaki, dressed in white, walked out of the room, she disappeared into the Flying Thunder God Formation along with Senju Tsukika Senju Yamato.
About thirty people wearing armor with different tribal insignia also happened to be heading towards the Meeting Hall!
" Clan Head Toka!"
" Clan Head Toka!"
" Clan Head Toka!"
"..."
Seeing the group of people walking in, Senju Toka quickly stood up.
As she descended the steps to greet everyone, she addressed the seven leaders, saying, "Clan leaders, something has happened to Uka. According to the previous plan, you are required to make a trip there now!"
Upon hearing this, the seven clan leaders nodded in agreement.
They were all allies of the Senju and were familiar with all the rules that had been established in the past.
Of these seven people, two are elderly and require the assistance of stronger members of the clan.
The other five are all in their prime, and they will also go in person with their own men, as is customary!
" Inuzuka Yuta, Inuzuka Ei, you two come with me." The Inuzuka Clan clan chief, his face painted with two lines of paint and fully armed, pointed at the two and said to the remaining men, " Inuzuka Retsu, Inuzuka Yoshi, you two lead the combatants and follow Clan Head Toka on her orders."
" Inuzuka Shoichi, organize all clan affairs well!"
"Yes, Chieftain!"
" Aburame Koho, Aburame Kento, follow me." Wearing sunglasses, the Aburame chieftain succinctly instructed, " Aburame Koka, Aburame Koei, listen to my command."
"Elder Fuzen, organize the clan!"
"Yes, Chieftain!"
" Hatake Senagakyo, Hatake Kaken, follow me." The silver-haired Hatake clan chief, carrying a short sword, instructed the people behind him, " Hatake Kamo, Hatake Sobo, you two lead the combat personnel and follow Clan Head Toka on orders."
"Elder Kenpaku, organize the clan affairs properly!"
"Yes, Chieftain!"
" Hatake Senagakyo, Hatake Kaken, follow me." The silver-haired Hatake clan chief, carrying a short sword, instructed the people behind him, " Hatake Kamo, Hatake Sobo, you two lead the combat personnel and follow Clan Head Toka on orders."
"Elder Kenpaku, organize the clan affairs properly!"
"Yes, Chieftain!"
"..."
Upon hearing the information about Senju Toka, the seven clans immediately began making arrangements.
After confirming the personnel who would remain and those who would go, and returning the greeting to Senju.
They then walked out of the Meeting Hall one after another!
Those who stayed behind to receive orders and take charge of affairs were seated closer to the two sides by the Senju Hands!
Outside the Meeting Hall.
After sending Mito Uzumaki and the others there, the triplets immediately returned.
They also caught a glimpse of the situation on the other side.
Upon returning, the three immediately re-established the formation!
Squatting on the ground, supporting the formation with both hands, Senju Nobusada up and quickly instructed, " Inuzuka Clan, the three of you, please stand in the center and do not resist!"
"The enemies are Cloud Shinobi and Konoha. They will land on a ship after passing through. The battlefield is in the water. Please be prepared!"
"Good!"
Nodding, the Inuzuka Clan clan chief led two Inuzuka Clan warriors and their Ninja Dog into the formation!
"Whoosh!"
After a strange sound, the six people and three dogs disappeared from the spot.
Those who came out to provide support later heard those descriptions.
The three of them, Hatake, walked directly to the front, while Aburame quietly retreated to the back of the line!
The others quickly changed their teleportation locations according to their own characteristics.
After they completed the adjustments.
"Whoosh!"
After that strange sound, the triplets reappeared in the arena.
Unlike before, all three of them were a little out of breath when they returned this time.
But they chose to continue their operations because the situation on the battlefield was far from optimistic!
After setting up the formation upon landing, Senju Nobusada looked up again.
When he saw that the person in front of him had been replaced by Hatake, he understood that these people had made adjustments based on intelligence.
After this visit, he glanced at the intelligence gathering he had been collecting and then spoke again, "There are about forty enemies, all at least Jonin level."
" The Raikage and the Tailed Beast are both there, and Danzo is over there too!"
After saying that, they used their Ninjutsu again and disappeared from Konoha.
A young man nearby overheard this and quickly wrote down what had just happened on Scroll.
The triplets' mission wasn't just to deliver people; they also had to gather intelligence!
The personnel were being deployed in an orderly manner outside the hall.
Inside the Meeting Hall.
Back in the main seat, looking at everyone in the hall, Senju Toka began her arrangements. " Fourth Elder, coordinate with the leaders of each clan to complete the relocation as quickly as possible, leaving no one behind!"
"Yes, clan leader!" The Fourth Elder stood up, bowed, and nodded to their respective leaders to get acquainted.
" Sixth Elder, Senju Yoshika, you coordinate with the combat personnel of each clan. From this moment on, martial law will be enforced on Senju Clan Compound. Anyone who enters or leaves without permission will be executed!"
"If anyone dares to spy around, eliminate them immediately!"
At this moment, Senju Toka directly issued the order to kill.
And that spying wasn't just aimed at the enemy, but also at those who were neutral!
"Yes, Chieftain!" After standing up and accepting the order, the two turned to their sides and checked their faces with the people from various tribes.
Those from each tribe who remained to fight also silently memorized the appearances of the two men.
Regardless of whether a battle takes place later, those responsible for combat must remember this.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be the lives of our own sons!
" Senju Fukei, from this moment forward, get all intelligence connected to me as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Chieftain!"
"Compile a report on today's events and the current situation, and convey it to the First Elder as quickly as possible."
"Have him make arrangements for the Front Line and recall the appropriate Large Unit to the village!"
"Tell him that from now on, whoever he encounters in the South, eliminate them all!"
I don't want any Mole to come across from the South!
Looking at the intelligence chief who had stood up on her left, Senju Toka coldly gave the order.
Just now, intelligence from outside came in once.
The Land of Clouds has an excuse, but what about Danzo and the people of Konoha?
Did they also come from the Land of Clouds?
As the person in charge of the South Battlefield, the First Elder must take action on these matters!
Otherwise... ha!
"Yes, clan leader!" Senju Fukei bowed and replied after quickly writing the order on the Scroll in his hand.
But before he could ask if he could leave the arrangement...
The voice from above rang out again!
"Send a message to the Third Elder, telling him to prepare."
Upon suddenly hearing this long-lost title, Senju Hōkei was slightly taken aback.
But then he quickly remembered something and bowed again, replying, "Yes, clan leader!"
After the important matters were explained, reinforcements were dispatched in an orderly manner!
Senju Toka then addressed the people below who had already begun discussing their own affairs. "Now, get to work. My main tent will be set up in the plaza."
"Send all matters over here!"
"Chief Kato, Chief Gekko, please take your people and come with me to the plaza!"
"Yes, Chieftain!"
"Yes, Clan Head Toka!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall rose and bowed before proceeding with their respective duties.
They communicated with their respective supervisors!
Senju Toka also stood up, and Hayata Senju, the leader, led the Second Elder.
The three of them, along with several members of their allied tribes, hurried to the plaza!
Aside from rescue operations, the arrangements here mainly involve major liaison matters.
Things like supplies and Logistics all have rules, and the Senju and their allies will begin to take action.
Having been independent of Konoha for so many years, these trivial matters no longer require her attention!
The reason for rushing to the square now is twofold: first, to reassure the public, and second, to sit in and direct all affairs from there.
In previous exchanges among the allies, everyone had various plans.
If Uka were intercepted and killed, that could be considered a signal to start a war!
After all, Uka is very important to the Senju, and there are also many powerful individuals who went to her rescue.
Such a large group of people leaving.
The Senju must be fully prepared, both in defense and in attack!
"Whoosh!"
After a strange sound.
The triplets then appeared outside the main hall.
This time they were in an even worse state than before.
Besides constantly panting and sweating, Senju Nobuhiko, one of the triplets, also had a cut on his head.
"Hold on!"
After saying those two words, Senju Nobusada, who was the main communicator, quickly took the Military Rations Pill handed to him by his younger brother and stuffed them into his mouth!
The young man who had been copying the message quickly stepped forward and began treating Senju Nobuhiko's head injury.
"The battlefield situation is not optimistic. Our position has been targeted, and we must be prepared for battle from the moment we are identified!"
"You'd better protect us, otherwise the three of us won't be so lucky next time."
After swallowing the Military Rations Pill, Senju Nobusada felt his Chakra recovering within him.
He squatted on the ground, setting up the Flying Thunder God Formation with two other people, while speaking rapidly.
Upon hearing his words, Chief Kurama, who was about to go, stopped in his tracks.
He turned to another group of Senju members beside him and said, "Two of you who are good at Taijutsu, come with me. These two will team up with you later."
There's no way to explain it; their clan's Taijutsu are truly indescribable.
However, the techniques Kekkei Genkai made them exceptionally powerful!
After hearing the intelligence, he realized he couldn't go with three Kurama at once.
If it weren't for two people with strong Taijutsu carrying the load, they would have been at a disadvantage in the past.
But with him there, as long as the two strong Taijutsu can withstand a wave of attacks.
He can protect these three key figures while eliminating nearby threats!
"I'll do it!" Upon hearing Chief Kurama's words, a middle-aged man wearing Senju Forehead Protector stepped out of the group.
Upon seeing this person's appearance, the others who were planning to rush over stopped in their tracks!
This person, named Senju Masaki, comes from the Clan Leader's Line and had become Elite Jonin long ago.
If he weren't like Senju Tsukika, who was completely inept at government affairs, then the spot for the Fourth Elder would have been his last.
Judging from his strength, this person is just an Elite Jonin.
But ever since Senju obtained a working route to open the six gates from Might Duy.
