Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

The melodious and heavy bells spread throughout Konoha from the top of the Naruto building, resounding over and over again.

The villagers immersed in peace looked up at the same time, and countless ninjas looked shocked.

This bell is the sound of war, and it will only ring when war comes. This is the first time since Konoha is established four years ago.

It’s not that no one has predicted that war will come so quickly.

This year is the fourth year of Konoha's establishment, and it is only the fourth year. It is still the heyday of Konoha, and there is no reason for war to break out.

But the war came without warning, even this morning, the villagers were still living as comfortable as before.

The bell was melodious and there was no intention of stopping. Countless ninjas put down their work and quickly assembled towards the ninja.

...

In the conference room of the Naruto Building, Chiju Hashirama placed his hands tightly on the table. He had already told Chiju Koyang to take over the information sent back by the front-line base to temporarily take over. He would then hand it over to him when the meeting was completed.

Next to him was Senju Tobima, and in addition to this, there were Hinata and Yumiao. The patriarchs of the two tribes had arrived, saluted him and sat down.

In a short time, Nara, Yamaaka, and Akido arrived and nodded to Shinju Hashirama.

At this time, Hashirama was too lazy to say more, so he pointed at them and instructed them to sit down.

A moment later, the three tribe leaders of Inuzuka, Sarutobi and Shimura also arrived and sat down at their own position. At this point, except for Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Gen, all the Konoha high-level leaders have arrived.

"Sir Naruto, I heard the battle bell ringing outside. What's going on?" Nara's clan leader took advantage of the gap and asked quickly.

He recently served as a consultant for the Hokage in Konoha Village, similar to the Hokage Assistant, and needed help with many of Konoha's internal affairs, and his status has been greatly improved.

Chiju Hashirama waved his hand and whispered: "I will explain it together when Madara and Gen arrive. In short, the situation may not be very good."

The Nara clan leader raised his eyebrows, and his premonition of being unexplained was even stronger, but he was tactful and did not ask further questions.

Not long after, Uchiha Madara pushed the door open and he stayed in and didn't go out for a long time. Even Chiju Hashirama hadn't seen him for more than half a year, let alone others.

Compared to the last time he met, his temperament has not changed significantly. If he insists on a significant change, he should be said to be more amazing in his left eye. Although he is still a distance from normal, it is much better than a year ago.

"What's going on?" Uchiha Madara sat down and asked Hashirama directly, completely ignoring the existence of others.

Chiju Hashirama was about to speak when the door was pushed open again, but Uchiha Gen entered with a smile, "Oh, it seems that it's the latest again, I've been waiting for everyone for a long time, sorry."

He said sorry, but he sat in his seat very naturally.

Seeing Genlai, Hashimara and Madara nodded slightly to him at the same time.

Afterwards, Chiju Hashirama took a deep breath and stood up, and said with a serious expression: "I think everyone has heard the sound of the war bell outside. I will tell you a long story short about what happened. Everyone, the war is coming!"

Except for Gen, Madara and Tobirama, everyone was in an uproar. Although they had speculation before coming, it was just speculation, and hearing it with their own ears was completely different. They even suspected that they had hallucinations. At this time, who dared to start a war with Konoha, wouldn’t they seek death?

Gen has already known the truth of the matter, Tobirama has long known the situation, and Madara has simply calmed down.

"Master Naruto, who is the target of the war?" Nara's patriarch reacted first and asked hurriedly.

Chiju Hashirama glanced at him and said softly: "The four great ninja villages of earth, thunder, wind and water."

This time, the hearts of many patriarchs jumped hard again, as if someone was hitting the head with a sledgehammer, and he suddenly felt dizzy.

"Reason." At this time, Uchiha Madara asked in a very calm question. It was also his words that the conference room suddenly became quiet and the needle could be heard.

After looking at Madara, Hashima felt a little relieved. With Madara and Gui, he was confident that he would face any challenges.

"The reason is unknown. Today, Gen asked Princess Tamamo to send me a piece of information. Yananbu discovered that there seemed to be something strange in the four major ninja villages, as if they were preparing for war in private. At that time, I immediately attached great importance to it and prepared for the authenticity, but I did not expect that at this time the strongholds on the northwest front line sent back messages, claiming that I was attacked. Soon after, I received news from other frontline strongholds, all the same.

This situation is by no means accidental. The Konoha frontline stronghold is not weak, and it cannot be defeated by scattered wandering ninjas, and it is even more impossible to be highly concentrated at the same time. This is obviously a premeditated plan."

Chiju Hashirama finished his speculation in one breath and observed everyone's reaction.

Everyone's faces were different, with doubts, confusion, calmness, and indifference.

Nara's patriarch pondered for a moment and stood up again and said, "Master Naruto, I still can't understand the cause of this war. There are many reasons for the war, either hatred, interests, or my own demands, but in this war, I did not see any of the above. There is no benefit in doing this in the four major ninja villages, which really makes me unable to figure out."

Chiju Hashirama was about to speak, but Uchiha Madara had already snorted coldly, "Silly, no matter what the reason, the war has begun, and you are still here to delay time with such a broken reason. When you figure it out, others have already gone to Konoha Village.

War is war, there is no reason to say. Since the other party has fought, it is right for us to fight back. As for the reasons and reasons, we will look for it after fighting."

Xuan looked at all this with a smile, nodded at the right time, "I think this way too. Meeting the enemy is the first priority at this time."

Chiju Hashirama also said in a deep voice: "Yes, I think so too. We have many strongholds on the front line. The longer we delay, the more compatriots will sacrifice. We must respond quickly."
