The Ninja Alliance Forces, composed of more than 86,000 people, were unstoppable after they marched into the border of the Land of Fire. They successively captured many important strongholds outside Konoha Village, and then important positions such as Puling Mountain and Tsukuba Mountain. The fortresses also fell one after another. No, to be precise, Konoha Village gave up its garrison in these places and retreated inward. Battles between troops only occurred sporadically, and even if they occurred, the scale was very small. They basically retreated after testing.
The ninja army became more powerful and advanced faster, pouring in from various fortresses and marching straight towards Konoha Village.
The atmosphere in Konoha on this day was much more solemn and quieter than before. After hearing the news of these defeats, the first reaction of most villagers was not panic and fear, but sincere sighs from the bottom of their hearts. After all, the coalition forces They are going to kill Konoha!
They had already realized this a long time ago.
Perhaps he had already been mentally prepared for this when he took to the streets in the rain that day to oppose Sarutobi Hiruzen.
At this time, two years had passed since they elected Nohara Yuu as Konoha's new Hokage. Konoha had undergone tremendous changes in two years. This change made the villagers' panic about the decisive battle in the ninja world lessened. few.
Of course, there will still be tension.
After all, this is the final battle of the Fourth Ninja War.
The victory or defeat of this battle will determine whether Konoha Village will be destroyed and become the history of the ninja world, or whether the world will usher in a new era of ninjas.
····
At this time, in the bright room of the Nohara family in Konoha Village, Yuu Yu had a depressed look on his face.
His depression has nothing to do with the Ninja Alliance and the war, but only with his height.
After putting on a handsome Hokage god robe, Yuyu looked at himself in the full-length mirror. He saw Kakarot's face that was half heroic and half cute, Kakarot's special hairstyle and his new tailor-made orange martial arts uniform. These satisfied him, but how long had it been since he had grown taller?
It seems that he has not grown taller since he was seven years old. His current height is almost surpassed by the ninjas of the same age.
Thinking of the special physique of Saiyans, who seemed to be short before adulthood, this naturally made him very depressed.
The Nohara couple pushed open the door and came to Yuyu. After looking at the handsomely dressed son in front of them, the two of them sighed in their hearts. The son was only eleven years old. In peacetime, at this age, he was just a boy who had not graduated from the Ninja School. A graduating student, and now, my eleven-year-old son has to shoulder this responsibility.
Seeing Nohara Yoto reaching out to his head again, Yuyu stopped him with his eyes, "Dad, please stop touching me. I haven't grown up in a long time. Well, what's wrong? Don't worry, we'll be fine."
"We're not worried."
"Yes! Yuyu, the two of us have packed our things. Once the ninja army comes, we will run for our lives!"
"····"
Seeing that the two of them were still in the mood to joke around at this time, Yuu felt relieved. At this moment, the urgent voice of the ANBU ninja came from outside the door, "Hokage-sama, all the ministers and adults are here!! All it takes is you and Gaara-sama, Kakashi-sama please hurry up!"
"Okay, I get it now."
It’s not a good feeling to be urged by someone who likes to find various reasons to be late. Yuyu responded helplessly. After bidding farewell to his parents, he walked out of the room and called Gaara who had been waiting in the living room for a long time. They ran on the street. Looking at the villagers who looked at him with trust, he thought to himself that it was time to unify the ninja world.
Affected by the atmosphere here, the two quickened their pace and quickly arrived at the Hokage Building and entered the spacious ANBU conference room.
More than 20 Konoha senior officials and ministers from various ministries were all present. Everyone was quietly waiting for the arrival of the new Hokage. After hearing the sound, they all turned to look over.
"Hokage-sama!"
"Hokage-sama, you are here!"
"Everyone, please take your seats."
After nodding to the solemn-looking people, Youyu sat down at the main seat. After a passionate speech, detailed combat plans and arrangements were quickly released. He looked at the people and said,
"Our Konoha ninjas specifically number 35,611 ninjas. Excluding the ninjas outside and those who must guard the village and the new district, there are about 20,000 that can be dispatched. These 20,000 people will be divided into two parts.
“Special forces and combat forces respectively!
"The special force is composed of five forces. The first is the intelligence force. The captain is Yamanaka Haiichi, who is responsible for receiving and transmitting intelligence from all places! The second is the surprise force, which is responsible for testing the enemy. You, Xiaonan, are the captain! The third is perception. The team leader is the Hizu Clan leader, responsible for sensing the enemy's location and collecting intelligence! The fourth team is the medical logistics team, with you, Tsunade, as the team leader, responsible for rescuing the wounded! Finally, there is the fifth combat command team, led by my shadow The clone and Nara Shikaku serve as captains and deputy captains!!”
"any questions?"
Everyone nodded, there was absolutely no problem with Hokage's arrangement, it could give full play to everyone's strengths.
"Then come the combat troops!"
Yuyu continued, "Each combat force has 2,500 people and is composed of four types of ninjas, namely mid-range ninjas who are good at concealed weapons and weapons, ninjas who are good at close combat and can kill the most enemies, and ninjas who are good at long-distance combat. A ninja who can support the front line and the rear, a ninja who is good at short and medium distances and can fight protracted battles!
"There are six combat troops in total!"
"The captain of the first branch is Kakashi Hatake! The leader of the second branch is Uchiha Shisui! The leader of the third branch is Fugaku. You are the leader of the third branch. The fourth branch is Minister Yamato. The deputy head of the fifth branch is Inekaki Kisame. I will serve as the captain of the sixth branch, Gaara! I, Nohara Yuu, will serve as the general captain!"
"any questions?"
Five of the six captains are completely fine, but, Gaara? The former Sunagakure Village ninja who is only ten years old, can he really do it?
If you think about it carefully, Gaara is also a precocious child like Naruto, and he is also a one-tail jinchuriki, so it should be okay...
Next, was the battle plan formulated by Lord Hokage himself. Everyone listened carefully. The more they listened, the more surprised they became. Lord Hokage's combat plan was too bold. However, after careful analysis, it was not impossible, and for Yuu The few people who were full of confidence in this plan were completely different from others and seemed very excited.
"Division leads to war, war leads to death and hatred, and hatred leads to more wars and divisions! It's time to eliminate this chain of war and hatred!"
Youyu scanned everyone with his sharp eyes and said slowly, "It's time to unify this world!"
"Yes! Hokage-sama!!"
Everyone responded in unison.
"The meeting is dismissed!"
"yes!"
····
"Really? Has the morale of the Leaf Village not been affected at all? It's really puzzling."
In the temporary camp of the 80,000 ninja coalition of the Land of Fire, the four shadows Ai Raikage, Onoki Tsuchikage, Rasa Kazekage, and Terumi Mizukage gathered in the tent in the center, convening the highest meeting of the coalition. People frowned as they looked at the information scroll sent back from the Anko lurking in Konoha Village. At this time, Luo Sha was speaking. He looked at the names on the list and was very frightened and said,
"No matter which one of the captains of Konoha's combat forces, I'm not sure about."
The other three people also looked at the names above.
Kakashi Hatake, the Sharingan copy ninja, is also the Jinchuriki of the Nine Tails.
Uchiha Shisui, Shunshen Shisui, owner of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Uchiha Fugaku, the leader of the Uchiha clan, and the owner of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Wood escape Yamato, the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki.
Kisame Kisaki is the number one among the seven former ninja swordsmen, and he is known as the tailless beast.
Gaara Sandstorm, the son of Rasa, is a one-tailed jinchūriki.
What shocked them the most was that a Konoha Sannin like Tsunade only existed as the captain of the medical force.
They looked at another photo that was secretly taken. It was Nohara Yuu standing on the high platform of Konoha Square to mobilize the villagers. The Konoha people responded enthusiastically with momentum.
"..." The four shadows did not expect this. The conference room became quiet for a while. Their operations in the Country of Fire continued to be successful. They had penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Country of Fire and were close to Konoha Village. The morale in Konoha Village was not the same. Not affected at all? A chill arose in their hearts. The people of Konoha Village worshiped that person so enthusiastically, which showed that the people of Konoha would definitely fulfill that person's ideas at any cost.
Compared to the Leaf Village, the morale of their coalition forces was not as high as some people thought.
Although they were victorious in the Fire Country battles, these were all the results of Konoha Village's active retreat.
Nohara Yuu's astonishing ideas made it impossible for the coalition forces to unite as a whole. Some people were very suspicious of a world full of war and chaos, and longed for the illusory world described by Nohara Yuu in their hearts.
"My country will not perish!" Ai, the Fourth Raikage, said angrily, "This Nohara Yuuha's ability to confuse people is so great, no wonder he can easily make the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen abdicate! We must fight this battle quickly. There must be no delay!”
"Do you think they know about the existence of the Bai Jue army?"
At this time, Terumi meditated on a question, "The intelligence forces of the coalition have found out the home of the Akatsuki organization a few days ago, a base in the Kingdom of Grass, and the number of White Zetsu is a full-one hundred thousand! ! The Akatsuki organization is very scary! The purpose of this organization is to collect tailed beasts. So far, our coalition only has six-tailed and eight-tailed beasts left, but there are five tailed beasts in Konoha Village. If I were the leader of Akatsuki, then, We must take down Konoha!"
Onoki nodded: "If we spread this news to the Konoha ninjas, it will dampen Konoha's arrogance and make them sober up!"
Luo Sha said: "Lord Tsuchikage's idea is good, I agree!" He looked at another intelligence scroll. The six combat troops of Konoha Village dispersed after leaving Konoha Village, and only two of them joined together. They are stationed together in the north of Konoha Village, and the other four branches are scattered everywhere. The number of ninjas in Konoha Village is already hugely different from them. Once they are dispersed, it will be easier for them to defeat them one by one.
As the head coach of the army, what did Yuu Nohara think?
"No matter what Yuu Nohara's plan is, we can decide the winner in the next two days!"
Raikage Ai also looked at the scroll, "And tonight's action is a critical moment for the coalition!"
Terumi Mei browsed another piece of information that lacked details, "Why does Nohara Yuu order all the print shops in Konoha Village to work around the clock?"
The other three people all shook their heads and did not guess what he was doing. After Ohnoki shook his head, he also said, "Tonight's surprise attack is an important part of our plan. If there are no accidents, we can move forward against Konoha!" In addition, The three nodded in agreement.
As night fell, after a full day of rapid marching, when they were getting closer to Konoha Village, the coalition commander Raikage Ai ordered the large forces to rest where they were, while he was always paying attention to the changes on the battlefield, especially when they dispatched troops to land from the sea from the south. of six surprise attack forces.
At around ten o'clock in the night, Raikage Ai received a message that the third coalition force's surprise attack had encountered Konoha's surprise attack team, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.
Lei Yingai frowned.
Is it the surprise attack team from Konoha led by Akatsuki member Konan? The intelligence says that she is still the Five-Tails Jinchuuriki.
There were only about 400 people in that army, and each of their surprise attack teams exceeded 600 ninjas.
He judged that even if he was defeated, it would be no problem to retreat.
However, only ten minutes later, new news came. The third surprise attack force was defeated, suffered heavy losses, and was almost completely wiped out.
"What's going on?!" The Thunder Shadow in the tent clenched his fists and glared angrily. How could it be possible for their entire team to be wiped out in ten minutes!
Ten minutes later, the ninjas from the intelligence unit came in and hurriedly reported:
"Sorry, Raikage-sama, the coalition's second surprise attack force also encountered that Konoha surprise attack force!
····
The moonlight shines like flowing water in the woods at night.
After the second surprise attack team of Suna Ninja Kankuro successfully landed from the southern sea of the Land of Fire, they took advantage of the dense forest terrain of the Land of Fire to easily cover their whereabouts. At this time, the group was running through the dense forest.
As the son of the Kazekage with considerable strength, Kankuro became the vice-captain of the surprise attack team even though he was only thirteen years old.
He recalled the mission assigned to them by the Allied Forces Command. After six surprise attack teams landed on land from the sea south of the Country of Fire, they sneaked into the Fire Country to join forces. Three thousand troops suddenly attacked the new district south of Konoha's main village. Konoha's new district had just been built and the defenses It is very weak. Once they are successfully captured, the chaos caused will spread to the village of Konoha. At that time, conditions will be created for the main force of the coalition to defeat Konoha.
The ninjas in the surprise attack force are carefully selected, and many are composed of ninjas who are good at assassination from the ANBU of each village.
They ran very lightly along the way, almost as if they were nothing under the sound of insects in the forest.
Seeing that he was still a few kilometers away from leaving the woods, Kankuro raised the corner of his mouth. He knew that it would be smooth to join the other surprise attack troops out of here. However, at this time, he heard a deafening explosion, and the front group More than a dozen people were blown away by the explosion.
"!!!"
"There's an ambush! It's a detonating talisman!!"
Tudai, the captain of the second surprise attack team, was shouting. He saw that the sky here suddenly became dark. He looked up and saw something falling from the sky above the forest. Was it leaves? Why were there so many? They were densely packed and blocked the moonlight. Wait until Only when I saw it clearly did I realize that those leaf-like things were actually detonating symbols.
There were hundreds of them walking through the forest without being too concentrated.
The distance between head and tail and left and right is at least more than one kilometer.
At this time, the dense detonating talisman actually covered them all. No, the detonating talisman covered the surrounding three or four kilometers.
Many people looked up with pale faces at the sea of detonating talismans pressed down like a carpet, and were horrified. How could there be so many detonating talismans? It would take tens of millions of detonating talismans to do this, right?
"boom--"
After the detonating talisman was suppressed, an astonishing explosion resounded!
