Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 228 Report to the Hokage
In the Hokage's office, the Sandaime, Danzo, Mito Kado En, and Utane Koharu were having an urgent discussion.

Now the fate of Team 7 is uncertain, and the Nine-Tails may have fallen into the hands of the enemy. Once the news leaks out, it will definitely trigger a battle for the Nine-Tails, at least hundreds of ninjas will die, and it may even trigger a new round of ninja war.

If Konoha fails to recapture the Nine-Tails, it will inevitably be pressed hard by other ninja villages in the future.

So the four of them had to come up with a plan as soon as possible. The plan included blocking the news and finding the Nine-Tails, capturing the Nine-Tails, the possible battle for the Nine-Tails, and even the New Ninja World War. And most importantly, finding out the enemy's identity and purpose.

"Lord Hokage~"

When the three generations of three were listing the deployments that would need to be made in the event of a battle for the Nine-Tails, Asuma hurriedly rushed into the Hokage's office!

When Koharu Utane saw that the person who came in was Asuma, the son of the Third Generation, she was stunned for a moment and asked in a friendly manner, "Asuma, what happened?"

The other three also looked at Asma. They all knew that Asma was leading people to investigate the Death Forest, and that he had brought quite a few people, enough to handle most situations. He must have made some important discovery when he hurried back.

Asuma said anxiously: "Hokage-sama, an army has appeared in the Forest of Death!"

"Puff!" Mizutomon Yan, who had just picked up the tea, spat it out.

"What did you say?" The third generation asked loudly in disbelief.

Even Danzo, who had always been good at cultivating his energy, began to tremble. The next second, Danzo stood up and said, "This is impossible! How could there be an army in the Death Forest? Do you think the Anbu and the ninjas in training are sleeping?"

It is impossible to find an army in the Death Forest.

Although the Death Forest is not within the walls of Konoha, it is within the scope of Konoha. Not only are there often patrols by Anbu and ninjas, but ordinary ninjas also often go there. It can be said that there is no shortage of spies there. Even if someone can sneak into the Death Forest, there can never be too many people, let alone a large number of people sneaking in silently.

Seeing Danzo yelling angrily, Utatane Koharu interrupted him and asked Asuma, "Asuma, how could there be an army in the Death Forest? Did you make a mistake? It could be the enemy's clones."

Asuma said quickly, "I took Hinata Jun with me. He saw with his Byakugan that there was an army of no less than 5,000 people in the forest~"

"What did you say?" This time, the third generation could no longer sit still. An army of 5,000 people, this was simply a fantasy.

"Third generation, you have been too indulgent to your son, and now he is lying~"

Danzo immediately accused the Third Generation.

Being accused by Danzo, the Sandaime narrowed his eyes and immediately interrupted Danzo and asked Asuma: "Can you tell me in detail what happened?"

Seeing this, Danzo had no choice but to shut up and wait for Asuma to explain in detail.

"Yes!" Asuma responded quickly, saying, "After we arrived at the outskirts of the Death Forest, we asked Hinata Jun to observe with his Byakugan. He said there were a large number of enemies in the forest, all of them were moving skeletons. He could see at least 5,000 of them, and they were building defenses in the Death Forest."

"They are all skeletons. It seems that some evil people have called back the dead!" After hearing this, the third generation said in a deep voice. His face became extremely solemn.

The other three did not say anything because they knew there were such evil ninjutsu, such as the forbidden jutsu created by the Second Hokage, Impure World Reincarnation, which could summon the dead.

At the same time, the three people's eyes on Asuma changed.

"Tell me how you arranged it?" the Sandai asked again, looking at Asuma with scrutiny.

Asuma was the captain of the ninjas who went to the Death Forest. Although he was self-appointed, he was still the captain. When the Death Forest was in such a bad situation, Asuma came back to report. It was inevitable that he was suspected of deserting the battlefield. Although the third generation did not want Asuma to take risks, his return would inevitably become a stumbling block to his future promotion.

"Baiyun Jonin has taken over the command!" Asuma said truthfully upon hearing this.

The Third Hokage was relieved for Asuma when he heard this. He said, "Baiyun is a veteran jonin who has participated in two Ninja World Wars. I feel relieved to have him in command!"

The third generation exposed Asuma's fault with just one sentence. He then said, "The situation is urgent now. Immediately gather the ninjas in the village to go to the Death Forest for support. I will lead the team myself!"

Seeing that the Third Hokage had given the order, Danzo and the other two could not continue to nitpick Asuma's faults, so they all nodded.
-
In just ten minutes, the Third Generation gathered two thousand ninjas and rushed to the Forest of Death.

Utane, Koharu and the other two continued to gather ninjas, ready to support the Third Hokage at any time.

Halfway through the journey, the Sandaime met a Jonin who came to report.

"Report to Lord Hokage, a large number of enemies have appeared in the Death Forest. Baiyun Jonin is leading ten ninjas to conduct reconnaissance."

"The Shirakumo jonin reported that at least several thousand skeleton enemies were setting up defensive positions in the forest, and they had a strange weapon. Five of them were killed in just one encounter. The Shirakumo jonin and the remaining five were also injured."

"That weapon has a very fast attack speed and penetration ability! The attack range is very long, and it is difficult for even a jonin to avoid the attack. If the enemy appears in an open area, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Now Baiyun Jonin has led the remaining ninjas to set up defenses outside the Death Forest to prevent the enemy from breaking out of the Death Forest!"

Without waiting for the Third Generation to ask any questions, the ninja who came to report told him all the circumstances in rapid succession.

"Special weapons, even jonin can hardly avoid the attack." The Sandaime's face was gloomy. The huge number of enemies, coupled with weapons that can threaten jonin, and the complex defenses arranged in the Death Forest, the situation was worse than expected.

Once the enemy enters the open area, the consequences will be disastrous.

Even if they blocked the enemy in the Death Forest, as long as they didn't destroy or drive them away, they would be a fatal threat to Konoha. If other ninja villages attacked at this time, the consequences would be disastrous. And it was not easy to destroy so many enemies with complex defenses.

The Sandai analyzed the situation quickly and ordered the Anbu around him, "Go tell Utatane Koharu right away that the situation is beyond your expectations. Let Shui~let Danzo bring people to support us, and also let Menyan mobilize more detonating tags. Tell them that this is already a war!"

"Yes!" The Anbu who received the order responded immediately and left quickly.

The third generation led his people to the Forest of Death.

About twenty minutes later, the Third Generation brought two thousand ninjas to the outskirts of the Death Forest.

At this time, the senior ninja Baiyun had already summoned the nearby ninjas, who already had more than a hundred ninjas, and used ninjutsu to create three huge trenches on the outskirts of the Death Forest. The passages inside the trenches were interconnected.

At this time, Baiyun Jonin and the remaining forty or so ninjas were resting in the trenches, recovering their chakras, ready to deal with the enemy's advance in the Death Forest at any time.

Seeing the Third Generation coming with a large number of ninjas to support, the ninjas in the trenches also breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, even if they had more than a hundred ninjas, they would still be nervous when facing more than five thousand enemies. Moreover, these enemies were not ordinary people and had very powerful long-range weapons in their hands.
