Previously, she appeared as a red Chakra being, but her body has shrunk somewhat.
But just now there was only a white hole in the eye and mouth.
She has now returned to her original form as Mito Uzumaki!
She has now returned to human form, except that she now wears a red coat with six tails.
The power has become more concentrated!
Sensing her own condition, she moved her hands slightly to adjust.
Then, with its six tails and six golden chains behind it, it attacked the three enemies in front of it once again!
boom--
boom--
boom--
The three people standing opposite Mito Uzumaki were, in the lead, a man with four tails, Blue B was also two meters tall and half-human, half-steel, and the disabled Shimura Danzō.
The battle between the four of them resumed, and the nearby sea and part of the Deep Forest Emergence by Uka Senju were instantly destroyed.
The Inuzuka Clan clan chief has also transformed into a wolf with three heads, but with a human-like appearance!
Blue lightning flashed intermittently from the Hatake chief's body.
Previously engaged in battle with the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, Senju Tsukika disengaged from the battlefield and shifted her target to Dodai.
The Jinchūriki, who had transformed into a cat with two tails, was left to the Kurama clan chief, who controlled his five senses in battle!
The South Battlefield Command Center, Ihyo Castle.
An urgent letter from the Clan, delivered through special channels, arrived at the intelligence center in the South Battlefield.
When the Ninja in charge of receiving the letter saw the mark on the envelope, he immediately sounded the highest alert in the Ihyo Castle!
"Waaaaah--!"
Air raid sirens blared throughout the entire military city!
The next moment, the city, where people were having dinner, suddenly erupted in excitement.
Those who were resting in the city immediately circulated their Chakra and ran to their resting places.
The rooftops of the houses throughout the city were filled with figures leaping and bounding using Chakra!
Those teams already on duty immediately assembled.
Logistics personnel who were not part of the combat force also began to carry out their respective tasks according to their positions.
The Logistics manager hadn't left his office yet, so as he put on his armor, he walked out and shouted to the department staff, "Open all the doors to the armory, resource depot, and granary!"
"As planned, divide into teams and unload all supplies to the square."
"Yes, sir!" The person in charge of the warehouse quickly responded and left the office to rush to the warehouse.
"Set up the stage immediately and wait for people to come and collect it!"
"Yes, sir!" The person in charge quickly stood up and responded, then rushed to the square with his subordinates, ledgers, registration forms, and other items.
"Assemble Logistics logistics personnel and divide them into teams according to plan, maintaining order!"
"Yes, sir!" A Jonin Senju stood up and responded before turning to organize the team members who had rushed over from various places.
Inside the Intelligence Department.
The Ninja responsible for receiving the mail pulled the alarm.
He immediately burst into the office of the head of the Intelligence Department, carrying the File.
Just then, the person in charge who heard the commotion opened the Gate of Opening.
The department head, who had almost bumped into him, quickly stopped and asked in a rapid-fire voice, "What is it?!"
Even with such a high-level alarm, your subordinates are still in such a hurry.
He wasn't worried at all about the Intelligence Department accidentally triggering such a thing.
Only then did they directly ask the other party what content had triggered the alarm!
"Sir, I have no authority to inspect this letter. It is marked with the highest permission!" The Ninja who had activated the alarm replied, handing the letter to the other side.
Upon hearing this, the head of the Intelligence Department grabbed the letter.
I took a closer look at the green mark on the envelope!
After confirming the information, he shouted as he walked towards the door, "Combat personnel assemble at the door. Units 1 and 2, activate the highest alert level immediately."
"You immediately alert the three Headquarters!"
He was all too familiar with that green mark.
Because it is the number one mark listed in the relevant data!
It can be said that the first thing anyone who comes into contact with intelligence sees when they open the documents is that mark.
He immediately ordered notification to the three Headquarters.
Given the current situation, he also possesses this ultimate authority!
But... the Intelligence Department will likely face consequences after this incident!
Given this level of intelligence, why is there absolutely no warning information from the Intelligence Department at this moment?
This marking is not just a warning, but a mobilization!
This means that the Intelligence Department, which spends a lot of money every year, can't even provide the Clan with advance notice.
It even prompted the Clan to issue the highest-level order?
The more he thought about it, the darker the Intelligence Department chief's face became.
But this did not affect his speed in running forward in the Command Center at all.
"Whoosh!"
This directly led to the lifting of the curtain at the door of the person in charge.
Seeing the highest-ranking official rising and donning his armor, he rushed up to him, handed him the letter, and said, "Lord Sawagen, please examine the situation. We have no authority to inspect it!"
"Click!"
The last metal clip is secured.
With a lot of white hair mixed in with his black hair Sawagen Senju nodded, took the letter, and began to examine it!
When you see the contents inside.
His face, already very serious because of the alarm, became even more somber!
He quickened his pace and stood on the wall to the side where a map was hanging. Pointing to the map, he said, "Order the Large Unit to assemble immediately in the due South, according to their current positions!"
"Have them block our retreat from here. Commander Aburame personally leads the garrison Large Unit by boat to this location as quickly as possible!"
Sawagen Senju pointed to the most prominent corner of the Land of Land of Fire map and extended it outwards into the sea.
Then, pointing directly South, the Headquarters slid to a location in the sea!
Upon seeing the First Elder's arrangement, he, as the head of the Intelligence Department, immediately realized the problem.
What are the identities of the people who recently carried out missions along this route?
His eyes widened involuntarily, and his voice, tinged with a hint of ferocity, replied, "Yes, sir!"
Upon hearing his subordinate's voice, Sawagen Senju knew that the other side had realized the seriousness of the situation.
He raised his hand and handed over the letter, then tapped the map of the newly formed Land of Forests with his right hand, saying, "Print out the first half of the letter and send it to the front lines along with the orders."
"Instruct the garrison in the Land of Forests to gather their forces and abandon external defenses."
"Half the troops will be stationed in the Capital, and the other half will establish a defensive line along this sea route to contain the enemy!"
He took the opened letter.
The head of the Intelligence Department listened to the orders given from the other side while inspecting the items in his hands!
Once he had memorized both, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, sir!"
"Hmm~!" Nodding slightly, Sawagen Senju continued to concentrate on looking at the map in front of him.
After a moment, he raised his hand and pointed to the southeast and Southwest, saying, "Send orders to those two, tell them to gather their men."
"The southeastern defense line can be handed over directly to the Uzumaki; let the Uzumaki keep an eye on it!"
"Get up early later and send a letter to Uzumaki after stamping it!"
"Yes, sir!" the head of the Intelligence Department replied after writing the information down in his notebook.
Once the rustling sounds behind him stopped, Sawagen Senju pointed to a city not far from Konoha and said, "Inform the southwest to prepare for war. After the troops have assembled, set up camp here and await further orders!"
"If the Hokage's forces attempt to seize a city or route, you can launch a counterattack from the Southwest and wipe out all the enemies!"
"After informing Southeast that the forces have been assembled, we must not only prepare to launch an attack on the village, but also prepare to wage war against the Land of Clouds."
"And he also has the responsibility of eliminating any troops that manage to breach this side of the defensive line!"
Tell him not to worry, the support team has already set off.
After explaining the tasks on both sides, Sawagen Senju withdrew his hand from the map!
"Yes, sir!" The head of the Intelligence Department bowed and replied after writing down the order in his notebook.
Seeing that his subordinates had not missed anything, Sawagen Senju waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
Upon seeing this action, the head of the Intelligence Department bowed slightly and walked towards the Intelligence Department.
Meanwhile, Sawagen Senju took the Hengdao off the wall and walked towards the conference room!
"Greetings, Commander-in-Chief!" Upon seeing him sit down, the heads of various departments on both sides and the Large Unit hurriedly bowed.
He waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to take their seats.
After sitting down, Sawagen Senju looked around and saw that everyone had arrived. He then began to give orders. "Mixed Large Unit 1, 2, and 3, pack your bags immediately, go to the Logistics to collect level-one supplies, and head to the East South Front Line to await further orders."
"Yes, sir!" The three Large Unit sitting in the second row stood up and said.
They were in charge of Mixed Large Unit, Large Unit were previously highly sought after within the Clan Alliance.
But back then, "mixed formation" referred to large Large Unit of the Shinobi Clan.
However, since those newcomers appeared, the term "mixed team" has been removed from the ranks of the main force.
It became Large Unit composed of a small number of the Shinobi Clan and most of the new recruits trained at various bases!
That's why the three of them could only sit in the second row!
"Order the three mixed teams (teams 4, 5, and 6) stationed in the South to immediately form an interception network."
"Control the entire South, and do not allow any Ninja forces to pass through. If any resisters are encountered, kill them on the spot!"
These three teams were stationed in the remaining areas of the South Battlefield, Sawagen Senju clearly understood the meaning of that letter.
But now is not the time to investigate; these three Large Unit must carry out this deployment mission effectively.
Otherwise, they'll suffer the consequences when the battle is settled!
"Yes, sir!" the deputy Commander-in-Chief sitting in the first seat on the left replied.
None of the three Large Unit were present, and he would be the one to issue the orders.
"Two mixed teams, number 7 and 8, will remain to guard Ihyo Castle. One team will be deployed outside the city, while the other will be stationed inside," Sawagen Senju, looking to his right.
"Yes, sir!" Two men stood up in the second row on the right and responded.
With the South Battlefield deployment complete, Sawagen Senju turned his attention to the Large Unit and other department heads on both sides.
"You five main Large Unit, whether you're just stopping by temporarily or are already part of the South Battlefield."
"At this moment, you must all submit to my command!"
"Yes, sir!" the five Large Unit sitting on either side replied in unison.
With everyone's agreement, Sawagen Senju nodded and began making arrangements. " The Sixth Large Unit, the Fourth Medium Unit, and the Fifth Large Unit, you two teams will lead the mixed teams of the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th as the vanguard. After replenishing your supplies, head out of Konoha as quickly as possible!"
"Upon arrival, eliminate everyone around you, no matter who they are. There must not be a single Ninja to wander outside Konoha."
"Yes, sir!" Senju Chiharu, the Fifth Large Unit Large Unit Kurama Mizue, and the four Large Unit of the second rank responded in unison.
"I will personally lead the Second Large Unit, along with the mixed units 13, 14, and 15, to follow behind you, so don't worry about not having support!" After reassuring these men, Sawagen Senju turned his gaze to the others and said, "Once the Logistics department has distributed the supplies, immediately take the remaining supplies and, under the protection of the Ninth and Eleventh Large Unit, head towards the outskirts of Konoha."
"I will mark a meeting point outside Konoha. The Medical Treatment Department should also immediately prepare everything and set off with two-thirds of its personnel and the Logistics department!"
"Yes, sir!" the two Large Unit and the two ministers of Logistics and Medical Treatment replied in unison.
Nodding, Sawagen Senju addressed the group again. "The Fourth Large Unit, the mixed teams 13, 14, and 15, and the Headquarters will depart within half an hour. Plan your respective departure times!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the door.
Everyone in the conference room stood up and lowered their heads.
Sawagen Senju that each person had their own planned schedule.
But his departure time was already set within half an hour.
According to the rules, teams scheduled before fourth must depart earlier than him.
As for the subsequent queues, according to the rules, they shouldn't exceed half an hour.
This timing, occurring one after the other, severely disrupted the plans of those who received different tasks!
They had no choice but to act quickly, according to this schedule!
The combat personnel are doing well; their tasks are simple.
But the Logistics minister's face twisted in pain the moment the time came!
Once Sawagen Senju's figure disappeared behind the door, he immediately raised his hand to stop him, saying, "No need to rush me. I will arrange the order of resource distribution based on your departure time and the urgency of the mission."
"But I'll have to trouble the Ninth and Eleventh teams to lend me a hand; you know how much work is involved!"
"Mixed teams 1, 2, and 3, you will come to collect the supplies after the fourth team sets off. Sixth and fifth, mixed teams 9, 10, 11, and 12, you should send people there now."
"Just tell the warehouse staff what you need. As long as you can fit it, just register it!"
He directly determined the order of receiving the aid in front of everyone and also provided the information for those seeking help.
Otherwise, he feared that if he couldn't get out of this door, these people would surround him and demand supplies!
Upon hearing the Logistics minister's arrangement, no one had any further objections.
After nodding in agreement, they immediately left the meeting room to attend to their own tasks!
Step out of this stone-built Command Center.
Looking at her subordinates waiting outside the door, Senju Chiharu ordered, "Captain Junichi, take your men to the square now to register and collect the supplies for the Sixth Large Unit and the Fourth Medium Unit."
"Based on our maximum carrying capacity, there will be combat ahead."
"Yes, Large Unit!" Company Commander Senju Junichi, who was waiting at the gate, nodded hurriedly in response.
After replying, he left with his men.
As he walked, he also made arrangements for his subordinates!
Because the supplies for a Large Unit and a Middle Unit were too much for just three or five people to handle!
After instructing someone to collect the supplies, Senju Chiharu looked at the two remaining guards at the gate and ordered, "You two, quickly return to the Large Unit's base and inform Company Commander Kazuki and Shin'i to assemble immediately and prepare for battle."
"Once the supplies arrive, we will set off and have them set up the camp!"
"Yes, sir!" The two guards bowed and ran towards the city gates.
After handing over the reins...
Senju Chiharu frowned as she walked along the Stone Slab path, lost in thought.
She could have returned to the village earlier, but was delayed by some matters.
That's why she only returned to Ihyo Castle yesterday!
According to the rules, once the formalities are completed tomorrow, she can lead the Large Unit back to the village for a vacation.
But today's highest-level alarm disrupted her plans.
This made her heart race!
The First Elder did not explain the reason for the alarm and the action to everyone earlier.
However, based on the First Elder's arrangements, she could tell that this was not a real war, but rather a preparation!
Because if war really breaks out, then there won't be three Large Unit sent to support the East South, and there won't be many Large Unit left to guard the South!
But it wasn't a war, yet the highest level of alert was used.
She was once the Clan Chief's Secretary.
It's easy to see what the key to triggering the alarm is!
So as soon as she stepped out of the Command Center, she delegated all the tasks to her subordinates.
But she herself walked through the city unhurriedly!
Watching the Ninja running at full speed, and the ordinary people who were so panicked that they didn't even dare to go out on the street.
They noticed the prying eyes coming from the surrounding rooms.
Ignore their confusion and fear.
Senju Chiharu, her face calm, was trying her best to adjust her mindset.
Control your mind and don't let yourself think of the worst possible scenario!
She savored the feeling of each step she took on the Stone Slab.
Use this method to suppress your emotions and calmly face everything that follows!
The Sixth Large Unit and the Fourth Medium Unit will be the vanguard in carrying out the relevant elimination mission, and she cannot let her emotions affect her at this time.
Because that would be irresponsible to oneself and to the team!
But when she thought about the possible situations that Uka Senju might be in right now, her face turned even paler than usual!
Konoha.
The interior of that building, shaped like a rice cooker.
Nearly ten minutes have passed since the unusual activity of the Senju clans!
"Knock knock knock!"
A middle-aged man, fully armed and wearing Konoha Forehead Protector, knocked on the door of the top-floor office!
"Enter!"
A reply was received.
The middle-aged man quickly pushed open the door and went inside!
After passing through the entryway, my gaze swept across the office.
Upon locating the target, he quickly approached and bowed, saying, "Sir, the team has assembled, and all supplies and other necessities have been distributed!"
"The troops from all ethnic groups and the villagers are currently waiting to proceed to the designated location."
The Sarutobi Four Clans ' forces and the highly secretive Anbu.
We had received instructions from above before the incident occurred, and were to assemble immediately once the unusual activity began.
However, many Commoners Ninja could only be notified when the disturbance began.
These people are not as easy to deal with as Clan.
Fortunately, most of the Commoners troops were led by people from all Four Clans, which quickly calmed the initial panic.
Furthermore, all teams have already begun their preparations according to the planned wartime scenario!
Wearing Hokage robes and a red Hokage hat on the outside, but armor underneath Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "Very good, your speed is not bad."
After pausing for a moment, he exchanged a glance with Utatane Koharu before giving the order, "Send word to Sarutobi Nanasegyō, tell them to prepare, but to exercise restraint. As long as the Senju don't make a move, they must remain calm."
"Tell Sarutobi Kōshū to ignore anything about neutral races colluding; he just needs to keep an eye on those people and prevent them from heading to Senju in large numbers. Tell him to stay clear-headed and not let his judgment cloud his judgment."
The plan and such had already been checked and finalized when they designated the interception of Uka Senju.
But he was still worried about those two places, so he couldn't help but give them a few more instructions!
"Yes, sir!" Seeing that there were no other orders from the other side, the middle-aged man responded and left the room to relay the commands.
"Snap!"
The sound of the lock clicking shut roused Utatane Koharu, who had been sitting motionless to the side like a wooden statue.
As she picked up the teapot from the table, she teased, "If you're so afraid of taking action, then you shouldn't have made such a risky plan in the first place."
The plans were all set, but this reiteration from my old friend was surprising.
She sensed the unease hidden in her old friend's heart!
My old friend clearly doesn't want to get involved with Senju at this stage.
But those plans were completely different from what they are now!
Hearing what the other person said, Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "There's no other way. The situation has come to this point, and we have no choice but to kill that Wood Release."
"But if we kill someone Wood Release, the chances of Senju getting his hands dirty are too high!"
"If I don't make this plan sufficiently targeted, wouldn't it be a waste of our first-mover advantage if a war breaks out?"
As the one who devised the plan, he was naturally willing to fight in a fair and square manner.
Because that's the safest and most reliable way.
Rolling is always the best option!
But given our current limited strength, it's best not to take risks...
If a real fight breaks out, our side will suffer a great loss due to our inferior strength!
Hearing this, Utatane Koharu handed over the poured tea and sighed, "Yes, strength is what truly matters!"
Put the teapot back in its original position.
She picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said, " The Clan's retreat should be almost complete."
"Judging by the time, Mitokado Homura's team should have arrived by now!"
"Now we're just waiting for good news from Danzo!"
Nodding, Hiruzen Sarutobi his teacup, gently blew on the tea, and said, "Yes, after paying such a high price, we're just waiting for the result!"
"Yan's team should have arrived by now!"
After saying that, he drank his tea and waited for the person who was supposed to arrive.
Because of their first-mover advantage, Mitokado Homura should have already led his team to meet up with the elderly, weak, women and children of the Four Clans who were retreating.
After the elderly, women, and children were arranged to meet at the rendezvous point.
He should lead his team to seize strategic locations around Konoha.
Deploy your forces to defend your rear and lead the rest into the village to prepare for battle!
