In Iwagakure Village, Onoki quickly rushed into his office with a dark face. At this moment, the entire office was already crowded with people.
Today is definitely not a good day for their Iwagakure Village.
Because just earlier today, violent chakra fluctuations suddenly broke out on the border between the Earth Kingdom and the Rain Kingdom.
Immediately afterwards, swift eagles set off towards Yanyin Village from everywhere, and what they brought back was some shocking news.
The border stronghold was lost, the troops were defeated in large numbers, and they lost control of the border!
This series of information was really like a bolt from the blue to them, and based on subsequent news, these attackers are likely to continue advancing along the border.
Thus cutting off some major traffic roads, heading all the way towards their Iwagakure Village!
At this moment they all realized one thing, that is, a war had begun.
Of course, there is also an even more terrifying thing, that is, in addition to some miscellaneous soldiers, the attackers also have some more terrifying entities.
And these people are all the former heroes of their Yanyin Village, even Kage!
Faced with this situation, all the senior executives of Iwagakure could not sit still.
They weren't sure whether the latter information was true, but they all knew one thing.
That is, they must discuss a plan now, otherwise their Iwagakure Village may be in danger.
"Lord Tsuchikage, this is the report"
Seeing Ohnoki come in, a middle-aged Iwa nin handed over the reports, but Ohnoki's face darkened and he slapped the reports away hard.
"I asked you to tell me what's going on, but I didn't ask you to let me see what's going on. Don't you have a mouth?"
Onoki almost shouted at this moment, and his actions scared the middle-aged man to the point of being stunned.
Ohnoki's current intimidating power in Iwagakure Village is truly unmatched by anyone, and no one dares to resist him.
"Lord Tsuchikage, please forgive me."
Although the middle-aged Iwa Ninja was stunned, he recovered instantly after seeing Onoki's cold eyes, and he immediately spoke in a hopeful voice.
"That's enough. The fact that you are here shows that you have talent and ability, but don't challenge my patience."
Onoki's expression was still cold, and he said indifferently.
"Tell me everything immediately, I want to know everything!"
"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage!"
The middle-aged Iwa nin completely regained his consciousness at this moment, and he quickly told Ohnoki the current situation in detail.
Whether it is the direction of the enemy's attack, what the enemy may do next, or even who the enemy may be, he can clearly tell them.
Onoki listened to all this quietly, but the more he listened, the weirder his expression became, and the more he listened, the more solemn his expression became.
Because according to what this guy said, he found that the attackers seemed to know their country of earth very well.
The place occupied by those attacking guys now directly holds the border areas of the Kingdom of Earth in their hands.
Moreover, they are very particular about the places they occupy. Once those places are controlled, it will be really difficult for their large forces to pass through, and they will not even be able to do an outflank operation.
This also forces them to attack head-on and find ways to remove those strongholds so that they can advance normally to regain the lost ground.
Moreover, Onoki could even think in his mind that the location of their head-on battle had even been determined, and it was on a plain near the hinterland of Earth Country!
Fighting on the plains, this is really not good news for the ninjas of Iwagakure.
They are more suitable for fighting in the mountains, and those in Konoha are the most suitable for fighting in vast areas!
"Is it really Konoha's attack, but how did they know about our Iwagakure Village to this extent?"
Onoki was thinking while listening, but when he heard the last sentence, he lost his composure!
Did the heroes of their Iwagakure Village, or even the shadows, attack their Iwagakure Village?
This statement may sound ridiculous, but Ohnoki knows that there really is a technique to resurrect the dead in this world!
Not to mention anything else, he had seen such a technique in Konoha, and he even saw a person who should have been dead long ago chatting with him.
Moreover, Ohnoki was also conflicted about whether he should vote for Konoha so that Konoha could resurrect his son.
This idea has been lingering in his mind until now, but he has not completely made up his mind yet.
He was hesitating and observing, although he had already obtained some good results through observation.
But his hesitation was still about his granddaughter's future situation. He was already very old, and he didn't care what Konoha would do to him.
What he was worried about was his granddaughter, and it was this worry that prevented him from making the choice he should have made until now.
"Did Konoha become impatient with waiting, so he chose to take action?"
When Onoki thought of this possibility, he couldn't help but feel a little chilled all over, but he also knew that now was really not the time to hesitate or dwell on these things.
The most important thing for them now is to make an emergency response plan immediately. Otherwise, if they really wait for others to come to their door, he will have no leverage even if he wants to talk to Konoha!
"Um?"
Suddenly, an ANBU appeared in the room. He quickly knelt on the ground and handed Ohnoki a scroll.
Onoki frowned, but in the end he took the scroll and opened it without saying anything.
However, when he saw the content inside, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then an idea appeared in his mind.
"Who is it that comes back to attack us?"
In the Kirigakure Village, Master Yuan looked at the report in his hand, his brows furrowed tightly.
The Kingdom of Water was raided, and almost half of the coastline and towns were lost in almost a day.
Under such losses, their Kirigakure Village almost lost a large barrier and even lost access to the sea to the west.
And it is not easy to get these places back. These people really know the Kingdom of Water very well.
The place they occupy is too deadly for their country of water, and even for Kirigakure Village.
If they want to get these places back, they will have to fight hard, and if they react slower, the other party may rush directly to the hinterland of the Kingdom of Water!
Such a bad situation really made Master Yuan feel helpless. He was now wondering if there was some powerful traitor in Kirigakure Village.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to come up with such a sophisticated plan and force them to this point!
"Is it really what the intelligence says? Do our deceased people still have traces of their past?"
Master Yuan has never heard of resurrecting the dead and summoning them to fight, but in the current situation, it seems that this is the only way to explain the reason.
The opponent is really too familiar with the Kingdom of Water, and the opponent's offensive is too sharp, which almost forces the Kingdom of Water into an extremely bad situation.
"Calling everyone together, mobilizing the troops, we can't let them continue."
After a long while, Master Yuan said helplessly, now is not the time to really think about these things, he must make a decision!
After the death of the Fourth Mizukage, there was no shadow left in Kirigakure Village, and he, the elder, became the de facto supreme ruler of Kirigakure Village.
These troublesome matters now naturally require him to make decisions.
"We must regain the lost ground, and we must also find out who these people are!"
"Who the hell are these guys?"
In Yunyin Village, the fifth generation Raikage Kirabi is now in great confusion and crisis.
The Kingdom of Thunder was also raided by a group of strange people, and the speed and quality of the raid made him feel extremely incredible.
They seemed to know all the defense arrangements of Yunyin Village, and they seemed to be very familiar with all the situations in the Country of Thunder.
Under such circumstances, they were so powerful that they almost divided half of the Kingdom of Thunder in one day, thus forming a substantial confrontation with them.
It was really the first time for the Kingdom of Thunder to encounter such a situation of being directly attacked on its own land. He even doubted whether Konoha was responsible for it.
But judging from what they got, this seems to be more frightening than Konoha's action.
"The second generation, father, and elder brother"
Kirabi clenched his fists. The intelligence showed that those who attacked them on the front line were these shadows that had died but appeared again inexplicably!
There are also many heroes who died fighting for Yunyin Village back then, and they were the ones carrying out operations against Yunyin Village.
This news is what Kirabi least wants to see and hear, because it means that someone is wantonly playing with the souls, or the souls of those he respects the most!
"Xiaoba, is there really a technique that can wake up the dead?"
However, Kirabi still forced himself to stay calm, and he quickly asked the Eight-Tails in his mind.
After all, there are many things that only the Eight-Tails can understand. After all, he has lived in the ninja world for so many years.
"I actually don't know much about the art of awakening the dead, but the art of resurrecting the dead does exist."
Eight-tailed's voice soon sounded in his mind. Eight-tailed was really selfless towards Kirabi, and he would not hide anything he knew.
"For example, the old man once said that his eyes can bring the dead back to life."
"You mean, maybe there is, but we don't know?"
Kirabi knew who the old man Yawei was talking about was, he was the Sage of Six Paths!
It's just that the Eight-Tails dared to call him like that, how could Kirabi dare?
Therefore, he decisively avoided the topic and went directly to ask what he wanted to know.
"Yes, that's it, but this kind of technique is probably very evil."
The Eight-Tail's voice sounded again, this time its tone was much more serious.
"After all, this is to revive the deceased from the pure land. This is not a good technique no matter how you look at it."
"Indeed, if it really exists, then this technique is really an evil and shameless technique."
Kirabi has the same view as the Eight-Tails in this regard, allowing the deceased to fight and even attack the village he once loved.
This kind of practice is outrageous to both humans and gods, and the people who practice this technique are even more evil to the extreme!
"Whether this kind of technology exists or not, I think the most important thing at the moment is to come up with a solution."
The voice of Eight-Tails was in Kirabi's mind again. Although Kirabi had undergone tremendous changes, Eight-Tails' attitude towards him remained the same.
"Yes, the most important thing right now is to solve this trouble, or at least block it first."
Kirabi stood up, nodded seriously, and suddenly frowned again.
Because he found another document on his desk, and this document recorded the current situation of other villages!
After seeing this document, Master Yuan suddenly had an idea in his mind.
But he soon shook his head, because the most important thing at the moment was to deal with the things in front of him.
"I can only say that it is indeed a reflection of the villages in the past. Their effect is so good."
Han Yuan looked at the report in his hand and couldn't help but laugh.
But he was the only one in the entire Hokage's office who could laugh. Jiraiya, Senju Hashirama and Namikaze Minato obviously didn't have any intention of laughing.
After all, they all know that this war was actually initiated by themselves.
However, it was hard for them to talk about this kind of thing. Because of Hahara's relationship, they were able to be completely resurrected, and they were able to make up for their past regrets.
Senju Hashirama is actually okay, after all, he has had an experience, but now he can teach his grandson properly, which is also a very good experience for him.
And the feeling of being surrounded by family affection is indeed a taste that no one can refuse.
As for Namikaze Minato and Kyukina, this is an even more incredible thing.
Although Katsuyuki was created by Hahara, at least in Hahara's view, her importance is not enough to compare with Namikaze Minato.
But even if he did it casually, it might be a blessing to anyone.
Especially for the two of them who watched Naruto being born, but were unable to see him grow up and accompany him because they protected the village.
This is an unimaginable gift, something they long for most but have never been able to do before.
But now all this has been realized, and they have been accompanying Naruto during this time.
They learned about Naruto's previous life, about the changes Habara had brought to Konoha, and even more about the changes Habara had brought to Naruto.
To put it bluntly, Habara is an existence that is unimaginably important to Naruto, Konoha, and themselves.
As for what the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo did, they had nothing to say.
After all, everyone is dead, what else is there to say?
Although sixteen years have passed since their death until they came back to life, they owed Naruto too much, and even owed too much to Habara.
Naturally, they have to think of ways to compensate, whether it is to compensate Naruto or Yu Yuan, this is very necessary!
Therefore, although Namikaze Minato was a little embarrassed, he did not speak.
The same mentality existed in Jiraiya. Originally, he was helpless because of Namikaze Minato's death, and he felt guilty about Naruto's previous growth and life.
Even if he made amends by becoming Hokage, there are still many things that cannot be said to be compensation, but can really be compensated.
Now Habara not only made Konoha better and allowed Naruto to live a normal life, but also resurrected Naruto's parents and his own disciples.
Jiraiya was already leaning towards Habara in his heart, and now it can be said that he is on Habara's side.
It's just that some of his inner thoughts and worries about the Konoha ninjas made him somewhat uneasy about the outbreak of the current war, so he was also very embarrassed.
"Habara, although there is nothing wrong with doing this, in the end it was us who caused the war."
Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, and finally he spoke helplessly.
"Provoking a war is really not something to be happy about. Even if we are on the right path, war is really hard to make people happy."
"Indeed, war is never a happy thing, especially a war started by ourselves."
Namikaze Minato sighed helplessly at this moment, he looked at Habara and said slowly.
"Of course, I can't deny the correctness of this matter, but I feel a little uncomfortable inside."
Senju Hashirama didn't speak, but it was clear what his attitude was.
Ha Yuan glanced at them and basically understood what they meant.
They are not opposed to Hahara's plan, and can even be said to be relatively supportive of it, but it is really not a good thing to initiate a war.
At least for them, or for all Hokages, they have never taken the initiative to provoke a war.
And now a war has begun that affects the ninja world, although Konoha has hidden this matter in the deepest place.
But no one familiar with the matter can deny that this was deliberately provoked by them. It can be said that they are the masterminds behind this catastrophe in the ninja world!
"So what if it's comfortable, so what if it's uncomfortable?"
Hahara put down the document in his hand, looked at the three people in front of him and thought for a moment before speaking.
"Then, do you want me to take action myself, which will be faster, and then we in Konoha can have a good sparring session with the people from the Akatsuki organization?"
As soon as Hahara's words came out, Senju Hashirama and Jiraiya's expressions instantly changed. Only Namikaze Minato still looked confused.
Jiraiya and Senju Hashirama know how terrifying Habara is, and the current situation in the Kingdom of Wind is the best proof of Habara's strength.
Although strictly speaking, letting Habara fly directly above other people's villages and then strike like that can indeed end a war directly.
But this kind of war is a form of training after all, and the team is led by the shadows and jounin of each village.
Even if some of them are rebellious ninjas, with other people suppressing them and Orochimaru controlling them, at least not too many people will die.
If Habara takes action, whether anyone in a village can survive is a serious problem.
After everyone is dead, who will deal with those Otsutsuki with them in the future?
"This, I think it's better to forget it?"
Jiraiya immediately shook his head and said, while Senju Hashirama on the side also nodded seriously.
"I think so too. I think this matter should go through the normal process, as long as they don't know about it."
Namikaze Minato watched all this with some silence. He knew how terrifying the Director of the Security Department, Hahara, was, but now it seemed that the terror was beyond his imagination.
It's not like he didn't get to know Habara through Naruto, Shikaku and others during these times.
After all, he was resurrected by Hahara, and he also witnessed Hahara and Uchiha Madara holding a meeting that was like a meeting with demons.
At the same time, he also knew that Habara was one of the actual people in power in Konoha. Under such circumstances, he naturally wanted to get to know this person well.
But the answers he got were all vague, and the feeling they gave Minato was in one sentence - Uchiha Hahara is incredibly strong.
Naruto was relatively simple. He would only say that Habara was strong in everything, but he couldn't tell the specific things.
Nara Shikaku and the others were also stunned for a moment after seeing Namikaze Minato, and then they seemed to greet Namikaze Minato as a matter of course and continued chatting.
It would be so interesting if they told Minato Namikaze about Habara.
Whether it is personal strength, political skills, personal thinking, structure, etc., Hahara is full of praise in their mouths.
In other words, Hahara is an all-rounder in their eyes!
But Namikaze Minato doesn't understand that well. Are there really such versatile people in this world?
Perhaps, Hahara was indeed outstanding in his political achievements, otherwise Shikaku Nara would not have praised him so highly.
And as he looked at the development of Konoha in the years after he passed away, especially the development after Habara impeached the Third Hokage and came to power, he discovered that Habara was indeed powerful.
Because behind almost every incident, there is the shadow of Hahara, but other than these things, there are very few records about Hahara's strength.
One time was with the Sandaime Hokage, and that time it directly caused the ANBU group to be wiped out.
Another time, he almost defeated Iwagakure's main force with his own strength. This level was really exaggerated.
"Perhaps Habara can indeed take down a ninja village by himself!"
After learning so many things, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but think this, but now it seems that his understanding of Habara is still a little bit behind.
This Uchiha Hahara's strength is probably much more terrifying than he imagined!
"Knock knock knock"
At this moment, the door to the Hokage's office was suddenly knocked, and Jiraiya immediately came to his senses. He must now thank the person who knocked on the door.
If you continue the embarrassing topic just now, you really can't go on.
"Come in."
As Jiraiya finished speaking, an ANBU quickly walked in. He immediately half-knelt on the ground without looking up at the people inside.
After all, as ANBU, they really know too many secrets, and they have seen too many things, many of which they have become numb to.
Even if they meet, they will never talk nonsense. Aren't they just a few Hokages? There are many big things.
"Hokage, adults, and Habara-sama, this is a letter from Iwagakure Village."
"Iwagakure?"
Jiraiya didn't pay much attention to what this ANBU said. Indeed, except for Habara, all of them were Hokage.
What he was more concerned about was Ohnoki. He was wondering what Ohnoki was doing with them now.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. You can go down first."
"yes."
The ANBU nodded, then quickly left the room and closed the door.
However, after leaving, the ANBU couldn't help but think that there were all Hokages in the office, except Habara.
So does this mean that the next Hokage-sama will be Hahara-sama who once defeated the ANBU?
But soon he didn't dare to think about it anymore, because this kind of thing was not something he could participate in.
And Jiraiya quickly opened the letter sent by Ohnoki. After reading it for a while, he couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Four Kage Conference?" Jiraiya said, "This Ohnoki is really interesting."
"They must have noticed that all the villages will suffer from this attack."
Namikaze Minato also spoke, but soon he rubbed his head in embarrassment.
"Except for us in Konoha."
"I didn't expect that I could see all the Kage gathering together for a meeting again?"
Senju Hashirama naturally heard Jiraiya's words, which made him feel a little emotional.
After all, it was him who made the first gathering of all the shadows, and that time was called the Five Shadows Conference.
It's just that time has passed, and the Five Kages back then have become the Four Kages now. It's even doubtful that there may be only one Hokage left.
"I didn't expect that Ohnoki actually helped us."
In fact, Han Yuan did not expect that the so-called Five Shadows Conference in the original work would still appear, even if it had become Four Shadows.
But he didn't think there was anything wrong with this. After all, in the original work, it was because of the Five Kage Conference that the subsequent alliance of the ninja world was established.
Hahara will not adopt an alliance. What he wants is unification and integration, not an alliance.
However, using such a conference format allows the ninja world to temporarily have an alliance, allowing Konoha to mobilize personnel in a more reasonable manner.
Let Konoha control the lifeblood of all villages, and at the same time secretly export culture. This is more acceptable to them than Konoha actively and compulsorily supporting them!
Such a divine assist was something Hahara never expected. He was even thinking, wouldn't this Ohnoki be from Konoha?
You must know that Onoki knows his own thoughts. Doesn't this guy know that doing this is bringing convenience to Konoha?
And he still did this even though he knew it, could it be that he really made up his mind?
However, Hahara felt that he had to wait and see, after all, this guy had not come to Konoha to look for him or Jiraiya in three years.
Then there are definitely some things in his heart that he has not let go of, and he must figure out what these things are.
Otherwise, no one knows whether this will affect their future integration.
"It seems that I have to go on a trip."
Naturally, Jiraiya could figure out a lot of things here. He twisted his neck and then stood up and said.
"How about it, are you interested in going with me to see it, Minister Hahara?"
"I can do it, and I think this time I should also give those guys in the meeting a big one."
Ha Yuan touched his chin and thought for a moment, then he smiled and said.
"What do you think, if Madara Uchiha suddenly appears during the Four Shadows Conference this time?
However, with me ‘dealing with’ Uchiha Madara, and the First and Fourth Generations protecting everyone, I think this kind of shocking effect will be pretty good, right?”
"Um, Hahara-kun."
As soon as Senju Hashirama heard that this matter had something to do with him, he immediately shook his head and said.
"I don't think I will be involved in this matter. After all, it's just a performance, and with the fifth and fourth generation together, I think it's enough.
And if we really want to take action, I think it would be better for me and Uchiha Madara to deal with you together, after all."
Senju Hashirama really has no interest in this kind of thing, or he originally wanted to reduce the probability of his appearance.
He was not very happy with the matter of resurrecting himself, and he would not say anything more now that the matter was over.
And for Konoha, he could fight, but he thought it was better to forget about performing.
If he really wanted to take action, he felt that it would be a good thing to consider if he and Uchiha Madara teamed up to deal with Habara.
After all, it seems that the intimidating power displayed by Habara is not something that Uchiha Madara alone can resist.
What's more, Senju Hashirama now really wants to know Habara's strength.
"This is a good suggestion!"
What Senju Hashirama never expected was that Hahara's eyes lit up the moment he heard his words!
"There are not many people who happen to know that you are still alive, basically the ANBU and Tsunade.
It's not a bad idea to have you appear next to Uchiha Madara. After all, you were reincarnated from the dirty soil to deal with me.
And in this case, the pressure on other villages will be greater, and Konoha will have more opportunities to intervene.
If it were just the Second Hokage and the Third Hokage, I'm afraid Konoha would appear to be a little "inadequate" in terms of stance.
After all, everyone knows that I hate the Second Hokage so much that I even drove the Third Hokage to death."
Senju Hashirama never imagined that he would be tricked by his words.
But after thinking about it, he felt that this was not impossible.
After all, Konoha's shadows were summoned and turned into enemies, which had a huge impact on Konoha.
Then I think this can better help Konoha hide the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, so that no one will suspect that this may be something Konoha did!
Thinking of this, Senju Hashirama's expression became much firmer, and his eyes naturally fell into the eyes of Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya.
The master and disciple couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this, and in the end they could only shake their heads helplessly.
They always feel that they are playing a little too much this time?
