At the same time, several dozen miles away from the battlefield, seven or eight figures were rushing towards the battlefield.
As they felt the earth-shaking tremors, their expressions suddenly changed drastically.
In particular, seeing that figure as large as a small mountain almost made his eyes pop out of their sockets.
" Sarutobi, that's the Nine-Tails! According to the intelligence reports, didn't Lady Mito seal the Nine-Tails away long ago?"
"Could it be the work of the Kumogakure?"
Shimura Danzō slightly, and he couldn't help but speak.
"If the Nine-Tails really does rampage, we'd better rejoin our teacher first. Rushing in recklessly would probably mean certain death."
As one of the four young men under the Second Hokage, Shimura Danzō certainly hoped to make a name for himself in the village and pave the way for his future as Hokage.
However, Shimura Danzō would never be able to use his life to create momentum.
" Danzo, your suggestion is quite good. However, this time, our Konoha Ninja Village is determined to obtain the Nine-Tails. Furthermore, the Kumogakure has launched an invasion against our Konoha Ninja Village recently."
Therefore, the Nine-Tails must absolutely not fall into their hands.
Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice.
"But don't worry, I'll lead the charge, you just need to cover for me."
"Senior Hiruzen, I can actually fight alongside you in the front lines."
A figure with silver-white hair, only twelve or thirteen years old, sped up from behind.
He also carried a Chakra dagger on his back.
The ninja following closely behind him couldn't help but change his expression slightly, and a hint of awe appeared in his eyes.
This boy did indeed look significantly younger than them.
However, looking back on this period, the brilliant achievements of this young man are still impressive and impeccable.
In particular, even Shimura Danzō, the direct disciple of the Second Hokage, has chosen to back down at this moment.
The young man before them was actually willing to fight back.
Such courage alone is something that ordinary people cannot match.
Sensing the change in the atmosphere, Danzo's expression suddenly turned somewhat unpleasant.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi to take action, it would be against his opinion.
At most, Shimura Danzō; he didn't leave behind any major flaws that could be used against him.
However, Sakumo Hatake, who is now a junior and only twelve or thirteen years old, and is known as the youngest Jonin in history, suddenly interfered.
This undoubtedly put Shimura Danzō in a very awkward position.
If he continues to choose to back down, once he returns to Konoha Ninja Village, let alone becoming the next Hokage, his reputation will likely plummet.
Thinking of this, Shimura Danzō in a deep voice.
"Alright, since you insist on making a move, I have no choice but to oblige. However, Hiruzen, you are proficient in the Five Elements Ninjutsu, so why don't you stay behind and I'll take the lead in the attack?"
"As for Sakumo, you can come with me to make your move."
Looking at Shimura Danzō, who suddenly changed his mind and spoke with righteous indignation.
Those present were initially taken aback, clearly somewhat unable to react.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi, being an old buddy, was clearly very familiar with Shimura Danzō, and patted Danzo on the shoulder with a smile before saying...
"Haha, Danzo, that's exactly what I've been waiting for you to say."
"However, since you're going to take the lead, the rest is up to you."
"If we can stall for time until other reinforcements arrive, we will definitely be able to capture Nine-Tails and rescue Lady Mito and Koharu."
"It's getting late, let's go!"
As commands were issued, Hiruzen Sarutobi was the first to leap forward and accelerate.
Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi, who immediately became like a captain upon Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō was indeed a little annoyed, but he still gritted his teeth and followed.
He clenched his fists secretly, vowing to do his best in the upcoming fight and to outshine Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Many people could see through Shimura Danzō's ulterior motives.
However, compared to Shimura Danzō, an elite Jonin, most people simply chose to remain silent.
At least in their eyes, Hokage and such are too far removed from their lives.
Instead of getting involved in these messy affairs, it would be better to watch the clash between the two disciples of the Second Hokage.
Only Sakumo Hatake, standing to the side, glanced at Shimura Danzō.
So he continued on his way, head down.
At the same time, he was figuring out how to deal with what was about to happen.
Only then can we better curb Shimura Danzō's arrogance.
The distance of several miles was quickly shortened as they advanced rapidly.
As the Nine-Tails creature, resembling a small mountain, gradually became clearer amidst the ruins of the forest, everyone's nerves tensed to the limit.
Even worse, some have already secretly tightened their grip on their weapons.
This was the first time they had ever seen the legendary Nine-Tails in person.
The visual impact was far beyond their expectations, as if an invisible hand had gripped their hearts tightly.
As the distance closed, the sense of oppression became increasingly oppressive.
Some people's faces turned pale.
"Pay close attention. Our primary target right now isn't the Nine-Tails, but those lone Kumogakure ninjas."
Sensing the change in the atmosphere, Shimura Danzō spoke first this time.
"We only have one chance. Anyone who's not up to par should leave the team early. No one can hold us back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shimura Danzō's speed suddenly increased dramatically.
The dozen or so Anbu Ninja following behind showed slight changes in expression, with several of them clearly choosing to break away to cover the rear.
This was something that even Shimura Danzō and Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't take seriously, let alone others.
He simply stared straight ahead, anticipating the sudden opening of the forest.
The moment they rushed into the battlefield ruins, they immediately locked onto that one figure who stood out from the crowd.
"Do it!"
Shimura Danzō suddenly shouted and stood up.
He shot towards Bai Yu like an arrow.
Sakumo Hatake, who was right behind him, also suddenly burst into his maximum speed.
In the blink of an eye, he planned to surpass Shimura Danzō and strike first.
However, this thought had barely flashed through Sakumo Hatake his mind.
The next moment, the scene that came into view made everyone's pupils suddenly contract, and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Originally, Shimura Danzo, who was about to issue the order and strike first like a cannonball, was struck dumb as if by lightning the moment he saw that slender figure standing out from the Shimura Danzō and turned around.
He stood frozen in place, his face filled with disbelief.
Faced with this sudden turn of events.
This undoubtedly threw the charging attack into disarray.
It's fair to say that at this critical juncture, this situation is truly a drag on the team.
