at night.
But the Hokage's office was brightly lit.
Looking at the intelligence gathered by the Anbu, Hiruzen Sarutobi was both surprised and delighted.
Surprisingly, the Cloud Ninja launched a war so quickly.
Such speed suggests that the Third Raikage made a decisive decision as soon as the delegation returned to Kumogakure, and then the advance force rushed to attack.
The good news is that the Cloud Village's surprise attack was thwarted, and the Cloud Village suffered heavy losses, while the Konoha side suffered no casualties, which is almost unbelievable.
However, after seeing Yufeng Genma's Wood Release, everything made sense.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had never witnessed Genma's Wood Release technique, but he knew about it. He had previously said that the technique was not yet perfect and was not suitable for actual combat.
I never expected that something so big would happen, and they almost took down the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure.
"The Eight-Tails, Kumogakure has actually sent a Jinchuriki to the battlefield."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked solemn.
This is not a good sign.
In this situation, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was almost captured by Konoha. The next attack by Kumogakure will not only be a matter of increasing troop strength. Will the Third Raikage appear on the battlefield?
With a worried expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up and ordered his son, "Shinnosuke, you immediately lead the available Anbu to support Sakumo and the others."
"I will arrange reinforcements overnight. Once the reinforcements arrive, you will be responsible for bringing the Cloud Village prisoners back to the village."
The prisoners captured by the Wind-Riding Black Horse must be put to good use!
Sarutobi Shinnosuke immediately nodded: "Understood, I'll set off with my men right away."
After saying that, the person disappeared.
Not long after, the office door was pushed open, and Danzo, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado filed in.
Danzo actually only returned to Konoha from the Land of Rain today.
"Hiruzen, I heard that Kumogakure has launched a war against us. What's the situation?"
As soon as she entered the dormitory, Xiaochun hurriedly asked questions.
Hiruzen Sarutobi handed over the intelligence report, which Danzo immediately took.
"Thanks to the Wind-Riding Black Horse, the situation has stabilized for the time being, and the Cloud Village has been repelled. However, we may have to face a large-scale attack from the Cloud Village next."
Hiruzen Sarutobi explained.
Koharu and Mitokado immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yufeng Xuanma, that disciple of Shuo Mao. In that case, Shuo Mao must be here too, right?"
Koharu, turning to the next room, inquired about the details: "How many people from Kumogakure came this time?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "There were less than two hundred men. A small number escaped, and besides those who were killed, there were more than twenty prisoners. I have already sent the Anbu to provide support overnight."
"However, the arrival of reinforcements must be confirmed as soon as possible, overnight."
Danzo was quite shocked at this moment.
I had already learned some things about the strength of the Wind-Riding Mystic Horse.
For example, when fighting Hanzo, he not only didn't lose, but also made Hanzo suffer a loss.
There are no details about the battle that infiltrated the Land of Earth, but from Iwagakure's furious attempt to offer a bounty on Genma Mikado and their selling of information to Kumogakure, it can be inferred that Iwagakure suffered a great loss at Genma Mikado's hands.
But I never expected it to come to this.
Wood Release!
Moreover, it suppressed the Eight-Tails!
In an instant, Danzo felt that his Wood Release Master Armor was no longer appealing.
Even though he had never actually fought the Eight-Tails, he knew that, based on his current performance, Kagami was definitely not as good as the Wind-Riding Xuanma.
"Jia Ri still has a lot of room for growth in the future —"
Danzo silently comforted himself, and after handing the information to Koharu Utatane and the others, he said to Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Hiruzen, Kumogakure has even mobilized the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and this time they suffered a great loss, and we have prisoners in our hands. A large-scale war is bound to follow."
"We must be prepared for the Third Raikage to personally lead the battle."
At that moment, Koharu Utatane exclaimed, "The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki!"
"That kid, Yu Feng Xuan Ma, mastered Wood Release? When did that happen?"
"Wasn't that experiment already stopped?"
Mitokado Homura was also shocked, and his gaze instinctively turned to Danzo.
Danzo scoffed, "I know nothing about this."
Hiruzen Sarutobi calmly explained, "Genma trained on his own and got the Wood Release scroll from Tsunade."
Then he changed the subject: "I plan to personally lead reinforcements to the northern border!"
These words startled Danzo and his two companions.
Koharu Utatane said, "Hiruzen, it hasn't come to that yet, has it?"
"Sakumo and the others did a great job, and there are also outstanding talents like Yufeng Genma. Even if the Third Raikage personally appears on the battlefield, as long as we have enough reinforcements, with Sakumo and Yufeng Genma there, Kumogakure will not be able to break through."
"As the Hokage, your most important task is to stay in the village and oversee things."
"After all, if Kumogakure launches a war, the entire ninja world will undergo a huge change, and Iwagakure might also directly attack us."
Mitokado Homura nodded in agreement and advised, "Yes, Hiruzen, you still need to stay in the village to stabilize morale and manage troop deployment."
.
"The situation is not yet ripe for you, the Hokage, to intervene."
"Wait until the situation becomes critical and we're not around before you talk about going to the battlefield!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and nodded.
Danzo, a thought striking him, said, "I'll go deal with the Cloud Ninja!"
"If the Third Raikage were to make his move, my Wind Release technique would be perfect to counter him."
He eventually fell for the Wind-Riding Black Horse.
Even knowing that Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Hokage, would not allow Genma to enter the Root.
However, he can secretly undermine others.
Moreover, judging from Genma's behavior, Danzo felt that he was completely incompatible with Hiruzen Sarutobi, but was extremely suitable for himself.
If we could persuade Yu Feng Xuanma to become one of his undercover agents, that would be a good option!
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Danzo and then said, "We still need you in Amegakure. Iwagakure and Kusagakure have been interacting too frequently lately. Danzo, you need to keep an eye on that side."
Koharu and Mitokado nodded in unison.
Danzo was displeased, but after a slight twitch of his lips, he nodded: "Then let Orochimaru go!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi considered for a moment, nodded, and then said to Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, "Logistics and medical resources must keep up. We all know the style of Kumogakure, and this battle probably won't end so easily."
"Also, Yan, you should personally go and discuss the matter of sending troops with the Uchiha and Hyuga clans."
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu nodded in unison: "Understood!"
While the villagers of Konoha were still fast asleep, Konoha's war machine was already rapidly in operation.
Not long after Tsunade got up in the morning, Fennel, who had gone out to buy groceries, hurriedly returned from outside.
"Lady Tsunade, war has broken out!"
The listless Tsunade suddenly perked up and asked, "Where? Has Iwagakure launched an attack on us?"
Fennel took a couple of breaths and quickly said, "No, it's Yunyin. The news has already spread outside."
"It was yesterday's surprise attack on the Land of Fire's border. I remember Shizune and the others went there on a mission!"
Tsunade's gaze sharpened, her hand unconsciously clenched into a fist, and after taking a deep breath, she stood up and said, "Don't worry, with that bastard Genma around, nothing will happen."
"You make breakfast first, I'll go to the Hokage Building to ask about the situation."
After saying that, the person disappeared.
Hokage Building.
The door to the Hokage's office was suddenly pushed open violently.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked helplessly at Tsunade rushing in; he hadn't rested all night and his temples were throbbing.
Ultimately, it's just that I'm getting older.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed inwardly.
Tsunade immediately launched into a tirade: "I heard Kumogakure has started a war. What's the situation now?"
"Has the border defenses been breached? What are the casualties?"
"Have reinforcements set off yet?"
Suppressing the urge to wipe the spittle off his face, Hiruzen Sarutobi explained helplessly, "Don't worry, the situation at the front is good. Sakumo and Genma repelled the Cloud Ninja's attack without any casualties."
"Reinforcements have been dispatched. The first batch of ANBU left last night, and Orochimaru just led the team away."
Tsunade finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then shouted, "I want to go too!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his temples: "Orochimaru is already enough."
"And since you're a medical ninja, the most crucial thing right now is to get the medical team in place."
"Next, we will not only face the Cloud Ninja, but also the Iwa Ninja, who may take the opportunity to launch a war."
Tsunade pursed her lips and remained silent.
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the disciple and said, "Don't worry, Shizune and the others are safe. You should know very well Genma's strength; he has surpassed you and even his teacher, Sakumo."
"He almost subdued the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure yesterday using Wood Release."
Tsunade was startled: "The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki has appeared on the battlefield?"
"What is Kumogakure trying to do? Aren't they afraid their Jinchuriki will go berserk on the battlefield?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned grave: "It seems that Kumogakure has already mastered the method of controlling the Tailed Beasts."
"According to intelligence from the front lines, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki has fully unleashed the Eight-Tails, but the tailed beast has not gone berserk; in fact, it actively avoids its own people during the battle."
Tsunade gritted her teeth upon hearing this: "These bastards!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Tsunade, go and take over the medical team's duties with Koharu!"
"We're all getting old; it's up to you to protect the village from now on."
Tsunade paused for a moment, then nodded: "I know, I'll go right away."
After saying that, Tsunade turned and left.
After seeing Tsunade off, Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a long sigh of relief.
We've dealt with the most difficult one.
Next, we had to call that bastard Jiraiya back!
at the same time.
Land of Lightning, Hidden Cloud Village, Raikage's office.
The Third Raikage, who had just received the news, was furious: "What?!"
"Attack failed?"
"Is Ai seriously injured?"
The Third Raikage is unbelievable.
He knew his son's strength very well. Although he was not as good as him at the moment and lacked combat experience, there were not many people in Konoha who could hurt him.
According to intelligence, it would be impossible for someone to be on the battlefield at this time.
"Is that Konoha's White Fang? Has his strength reached this level?"
The Third Raikage demanded an explanation.
Tsuchikage said solemnly, "No, Lord Raikage."
"It's Konoha's Ranga, Konoha's White Fang's disciple, the boy who supposedly mastered the same Lightning Release as you."
"Those who escaped witnessed that he did indeed possess the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and was in no way inferior to A. A was severely injured by his Lightning Release while trying to save the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."
boom!
The Third Hokage smashed the desk to pieces: "Konoha's Storm Fang?"
Tsuchikage was unsurprised by this and continued, "Yes, the key is that he also mastered the Wood Release secret technique, the Wood Release secret technique of the First Hokage."
"He almost captured the Eight-Tails."
The Third Don's anger vanished instantly, his gaze hardening: "So, Ai and Bi were defeated by him, a mere duke?"
Tu Tai nodded: "That's true."
The Third Hokage strode to the floor-to-ceiling window, raised his hand, and smashed it open: "Make arrangements immediately! I'm going to the front lines myself to cut off this Konoha Ranga's neck!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the gourd had vanished.
Several of Donkeya's guards hurriedly chased after him: "Lord Donkeya, wait!"
"Quickly, after them! We can't let Lord Donkage go to the battlefield like this!"
Tsuchida sighed as he watched this scene, and then began to help the Third Hokage pack up his things.
For example, troop deployment!
"I never expected Wood Release to reappear—"
Tu Tai recalled the image of the Wind-Riding Black Horse in his mind.
I had only met him once before, and I never expected that this boy would be so terrifying.
"However, judging from the intelligence, his Wood Release is probably not as good as the First Hokage's back then, so even if Lord Nagakage can't defeat him, he won't be in danger."
Tu Tai pondered for a moment, then turned to make the arrangements.
If the Eight-Tails had been subdued by Wood Release, he wouldn't have watched Inokage leave.
