More than two weeks have passed since the night the village was attacked.
It can be clearly felt.
Recently, the atmosphere in Konoha has become increasingly tense. There are even fewer pedestrians on the street.
At this time, even the most obtuse person could sense that something was wrong.
Such a strict atmosphere is too much like the vigilance before the war.
As a result, many spies from other hidden villages placed in Konoha were frightened and tried to pass on information.
Unfortunately.
It's still too late.
Since two weeks ago, the Third Hokage Sarutobi secretly left Konoha.
The entire Konoha has activated a level one alert.
The formation surrounding the entire village was pushed to the extreme.
During this period: only entry is allowed, no exit is allowed!
This eliminates any possibility of information leakage.
This war is no child's play.
If you want to fight, you must be surprised and win with one blow!
Otherwise, Iwagakure's side would have received the news and taken precautions before his own raid.
That will only increase the casualties!
In this way, even though these spies and undercover agents lurking in Konoha were all anxious.
But there was still nothing to do but sit back and wait for death.
…
that's all.
Until this night.
That is the night when the third Hokage Sarutobi returned.
The whole Konoha is moving!
There was no delay at all, and all logistical work was completed within these two weeks.
It is enough to show that Konoha is determined to go to war this time.
Soon, in the night.
A large group of ninjas divided into three groups and rushed out of Konoha.
The first batch: Led by the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen himself, they went straight to Iwagakure.
There are a total of 800 ninjas, including half of the ANBU elites, support personnel from major families, and more than half of civilian ninjas. This team is luxuriously equipped and is also the strongest main force in Konoha.
The second batch: led by Jiraiya, one of the famous Sannin, 'Toad Sage', with a total of 21 people. Except for Jiraiya, the rest are all elite jounin drawn from ANBU and civilian ninjas.
It can be called a sharp knife team! But the movement is unclear and the mission is unclear.
The third batch: The Uchiha team led by Fugaku, the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, has about fifty people, all Uchiha ninjas.
Target [Yanyin Village]! In order to hold back the group of rebellious ninjas in [Yanyin Village] during the war.
The rest will naturally leave a certain amount of manpower for their own Konoha Village to defend themselves.
All are led by consultant Mito Kaden.
Also, just to be on the safe side.
Sarutobi still lifted Danzo's grounding, but did not resume his position as Hokage's assistant.
He was only allowed to lead the remaining men at the root to assist Mito Menyan and protect the village.
Danzo was naturally happy to hear this.
Restoring his leadership of the roots would be enough for him to do a lot of things.
Although, he was wiped out by the group before, almost breaking the root of his spine, and his strength has been greatly reduced.
But a skinny camel is better than a horse.
The underlying foundation is still there.
And just absolute loyalty to Danzo is a major advantage.
Therefore, as long as he is around, as long as the attacking one is not some tailed beast.
Danzo is also very confident in protecting Konoha!
Even, he couldn't help but have a small hope in his heart that he could lead Konoha to win a war.
Greatly enhance your own reputation.
By then, the position of Hokage will be within your reach!
Of course, I can only fantasize...
…
This time, all the ninjas in the remaining Uchiha tribe were mobilized.
Except for a few genin who were too young.
The only ones left behind are women, children, the elderly and the weak.
It's enough to show the 'determination' of the Uchiha clan!
As soon as they left the village, under the leadership of Fugaku, the group of people quickly rushed towards the north.
Not a moment.
Itachi quietly accelerated, came to Fugaku's side, and asked in a low voice:
"Father, will Konoha win this war?"
"meeting!"
Fugaku answered without hesitation.
Itachi: "???"
Fugaku: "Don't underestimate that old ape of the Sandaime, he is very shrewd."
"Two weeks is enough for him to prepare everything. With Konoha's comprehensive strength, plus sufficient preparations, and an unexpected surprise attack."
"Winning or losing this war has been decided as early as the beginning."
"The only thing you need to worry about is the size of the loss..."
As Fugaku who also experienced the second and third Ninja War.
He was very aware of Sarutobi's strength and strategy.
Even though Sarutobi is now old and his combat power has declined, he is definitely worthy of the title of 'Ninjutsu Professor'.
If he personally leads the attack, the chances of winning are definitely not small!
"Then do we really want to fight to the death with [Yanyin Village]?"
"Itachi, have you channeled the 'God's Power' [Susanoh]?"
Itachi paused and nodded.
Stimulated by the battle a month ago, he also focused on the development of the 'Mangekyo Sharingan' during this time.
Just a few days ago, I finally guided the 'Third Force' and successfully opened [Susanoh].
However, because he is not proficient enough.
It can only temporarily use the initial form stably, and it is difficult to maintain even the complete skeleton frame of the second form.
Fugaku: "Then do you think you can beat that boy Natsume?"
Itachi shook his head.
Fugaku: "Then if you and I join forces, do we have any chance of winning?"
Itachi was silent for a moment, seeming to weigh:
"If you work hard, you'll have a chance!"
"But, we are also likely to die..."
Fugaku: "That's right. That boy's strength is really amazing!"
"It's just that your speculation was based on a month ago, right? With that boy's evil talent, now, I'm afraid his strength has jumped up a lot..."
"Do you think our chances of winning are still high?"
Itachi:......
"Then we won't fight?"
"But, those two people behind..."
Itachi glanced back at the rear of the group.
There were also two masked ANBU ninjas following there.
They were sent by Konoha's high-level officials to monitor the Uchiha clan.
If in the subsequent battle, our side and others behave passively, deliberately delay... and so on.
They will report back to Konoha and punish the Uchiha people in the village.
To put it bluntly, they are two warlords.
With these two people around, it would be difficult for them to pretend and be passive and passive!
Fugaku shook his head and did not take the two people behind him seriously.
"A fight must be fought."
"It's just that it's not necessarily possible to fight on that side..."
"I think your cousin Natsume won't be unprepared."
"We'll see how it goes when we get to [Yanyin Village]."
"Don't worry, I will never abandon Sasuke and your mother..."
Hearing this, Itachi felt relieved.
Obviously, what he is most worried about is that his father will join him to join Yanyin Village regardless of everything.
This put his mother and brother Sasuke, who remained in Konoha, in danger.
Now, after getting his father's promise, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As for that Natsume cousin.
You should be able to see it soon.
I hope that this time, he can bring more surprises to himself and his family.
