"Therefore, in fact, as long as all residents of Konoha voluntarily stay at home, after a period of time, once the virus in the air dissipates, the crisis in Konoha will naturally end."
At this point, Sparrow looked at the ninjas of various races standing in front of him.
"But now that you're here, the situation is different."
"This is currently the most dangerous place in Konoha; the concentration of the virus in the air is extremely high."
"I'm sure you've all felt the burning pain in your nasal cavity with every breath."
"That... cough cough... means you've already been infected with the virus."
"Furthermore, because the virus concentration here is higher than in other parts of Konoha, the onset of illness that takes several days outside will be shortened to several hours here."
"You will develop coughing symptoms within an hour, and within two to five hours, you will gradually experience symptoms that severely affect your combat ability, such as muscle weakness, slowed reaction time, blurred vision, and sluggish Chakra control."
"The infected person will fall into a coma after twelve to fourteen hours."
"And immediately after the infected person falls into a coma, their body will undergo abnormally rapid changes; within just a few minutes, they will become..."
At this point, Sparrow seemed reluctant to speak, and simply pointed to the various monsters that were pouring out of Konoha Hospital and falling into the pit in the distance.
"What!"
"Those disgusting monsters were actually humans in disguise?"
Will we be like that too?
"If I go home right now, will I have a few more days?"
"No!"
Upon hearing someone suggest going home, Hiruzen Sarutobi, immediately and sternly stopped them, saying:
"You are now infected. Your every breath pollutes the surrounding air. Leaving here now will make you a source of infection and contaminate the entire Konoha!"
After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, then pointed at the monster in the distance and said, "You wouldn't want your wives or children to become that disgusting thing, would you?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.
A few breaths later, a Jonin from the Nara Clan looked at Suzaku and said:
"You said that if someone stays here for thirteen hours, they'll turn into a mindless monster."
Turning his head, the Jonin Nara surveyed the hundred Anbu Ninja standing on the surrounding city walls.
"If that's the case, why haven't you shown any symptoms yet?"
"We are the second group of ANBU (Anbu) to arrive here to stop the monsters from spreading."
After hearing Jonin Nara's words, Suzaku remained silent for a moment before speaking in a heavy tone:
How do you think I knew about those symptoms I just described?
"At 10 PM last night, the first person to fall unconscious appeared among the first Anbu Guard responsible for defense here, and their body quickly transformed into a monster."
"The Anbu captain in charge at the time made a decisive move, ordering one of the Anbu Ninja was the last to show coughing symptoms to go outside the Hokage Building to report the situation and request further reinforcements."
"That's why the Lord Hokage was able to summon us, who were then in charge of sealing off various parts of Konoha."
"Otherwise, the monsters that poured out of Konoha Hospital would have already covered the entire Konoha last night."
Upon hearing this, Jonin Nara and said:
"So, all the previous batch of Anbu who were on defense have..."
"That's right." Sparrow's voice trembled slightly, as if recalling the memories of last night.
"We, a hundred men, only arrived here after watching from afar as they fell unconscious one by one on the city walls, ultimately unable to stop the monsters pouring out of Konoha Hospital."
"..."
"Alright."
After a few moments of silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been watching the monsters pouring out of Konoha Hospital, spoke up:
"You've pretty much got the gist of the situation, and you should have accepted your fate of dying here."
After speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi his head and scanned the faces of the ninjas present.
"In that case, let's discuss how to deal with the monsters in Konoha Hospital."
"Sparrow, have you ever tried to launch a direct attack on Konoha Hospital?"
Beside him, Que nodded and said:
"Because Lady Tsunade and Lord White Fang are in Konoha Hospital, and our fighting strength is only at its peak for a short period at the beginning, after taking over the defense here, I tried to lead people into Konoha Hospital to search for the two ladies' whereabouts."
"But after trying, we failed."
"Failed?" Shin'un, standing to the side, was puzzled. He turned to look at the various monsters surging out of the Konoha Hospital, his mind filled with doubt.
"Judging from the monsters' performance, they shouldn't be very strong, right?"
"And besides Tsunade, White Fang- senpai is also trapped inside?"
Turning her head, Que looked at Shin'un and said:
"Like you, Lord White Fang entered Konoha Hospital last night to rescue Lady Tsunade."
"The monsters emerging from Konoha Hospital aren't particularly strong right now, but they've already been cleared out by the Anbu Ninja were defending the area."
"Furthermore, to prevent ninjas from turning into monsters that are even stronger than ordinary monsters, Lady Tsunade has isolated all Chunin and Jonin infected with the virus on the third basement level."
"Therefore, the monster we are seeing now was just an ordinary person before, and had not trained in Chakra or escape techniques."
"Moreover, in retrospect, Lady Tsunade's actions were absolutely correct."
The sparrow continued its story:
"After deciding to go inside Konoha Hospital, we used our senses to confirm that Lady Tsunade and Lord White Fang were in a special isolation area temporarily set up on the third basement level of Konoha Hospital."
"After careful consideration, I led ten members of my team, Anbu experts in earth-based escape Earth Release, directly into the third underground level."
"Unexpectedly, Lady Tsunade's decision to isolate all infected individuals of Chunin and above on the third basement level became an obstacle hindering our progress."
"The skills they honed while they were human make them vastly different from ordinary monsters."
"Based on the types of escape techniques they primarily practiced and their main functions, the monsters in the three underground levels are all quite unique."
"Even though there was absolutely no Chakra fluctuation, those monsters were still able to use all sorts of techniques that only ninjas could employ."
"For example, a ninja who was skilled in Earth Release: Earth Spear in life can remotely control the ground to raise a spear and attack after transforming into a monster."
"However, ninjas skilled in Earth Release: Rock Armor Technique are different. These ninjas transform into monsters encased in a thick layer of rock armor and possess immense strength."
"Invisibility, wind blades, illusions, lightning spears, fireballs, giant waves... all sorts of Ninjutsu effects can appear on those disgusting monsters."
"And what's most terrifying is that a single monster can possess multiple special abilities simultaneously."
After speaking, Que glanced at the many ninjas present and finally set her sights on Shin'un, who was standing to the side.
Then, the sparrow pointed to the huge pit in front of Konoha Hospital and said:
"To give an example, what if Lord Hirakawa transformed into a monster?"
"Then we can expect to see a monster whose body is crackling with electricity, capable of moving at lightning speed, skillfully using various advanced Lightning Release Ninjutsu such as Lightning Spear and Lightning Snake, and possibly even unleashing a terrifying pillar of lightning like the one we just witnessed."
