Escape From Konoha

Vol 2 Chapter 32: convene

The roaring cry was slowly buried by the re-covered wind and snow, and the hot air flow gradually disappeared in the icy cold wind. The eyes of the warrior who burned the lava, which were bright as the sun, began to dim.

During the rampage, he fought with Konoha's ninjas and Miaomushan's two toads for more than a long time, and finally slowly lowered his head under the nervous sight of Konoha's ninjas.

The hands that were clenching the great sword also lost their strength, causing the great sword to fall, causing a slight vibration.

The solid body turned transparent, and in a burst of light and shadow distortion, along with a large number of sparks, it melted into the air and lost its traces, as if it had never been in the future.

Seeing the lava warriors disappear, the Konoha ninjas did not cheer, and did not feel that this was a battle that could be called a victory, only the happiness and bitterness of the rest of their lives.

The land was in shambles, and the cold wind was howling.

On the blackened ground, beautiful snowflakes began to fall, covering the gradually cooling corpse.

Looking around, this originally high-spirited troop was already in absolute force, pressing down to the point where it couldn't lift its head.

Everything that happened this night will be remembered for a lifetime like a dream that never goes away.

Standing on the top of Toad Wentai's head, Zilai also looked at the devastated land and countless Konoha ninja corpses. The anger in his heart had nowhere to vent, but he just stood on the top of Toad's head with a livid face, accepting the cold wind blowing, It seemed to make him sober a little bit.

As the leader of the Sarutobi clan, the Joinin, in this encounter, has an inescapable responsibility.

But he knew that now was not the time for guilt and self-blame. With this feeling of grief and self-blame, he had to command everyone to clean the battlefield and collect the bodies of his dead companions. He didn't want them to be exposed to the wilderness on foreign land.

Jiraiya also lifted the psychic technique and sent Toad Wenta and another toad back to Miaomu Mountain.

He came to the Joinin side of the Sarutobi clan, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me what happened this time, word for word, I need to understand the situation."

The Sarutobi clan Junin nodded, ignoring the black ashes and blood on their faces, and began to dictate to Jiraiya the story of the encounter with a blank expression.

From the surprise attack, and then they reversed the siege, the result was a miscalculation of the combat effectiveness of the two sides, resulting in the 3,000-strong army being completely intercepted here, ravaged by the eleven-man squad of the country of ghosts, and now suffering heavy losses.

If it hadn't been for Zilai and timely support, I'm afraid that this 3,000-strong troop would be very few able to escape, and more than half of the troops would be annihilated by the enemy here.

After listening to the story of this Sarutobi clan's Joinin, Jiraiya kept his face sullen, and finally took a deep breath of cold air and sighed.

He did not accuse the Sarutobi clan of the fault of the Junin here. If he did, as the commander, each of them would be responsible for the fault of the command.

After all, if he thinks he is arranging the efficiency of the ghost country's actions and miscalculates the counterattack time of the ghost country, the fastest is the early morning of tomorrow.

As a result, the speed of action in the country of ghosts exceeded all of them' expectations.

And no one expected that there is such a terrifying elite team hidden in the military of the country of ghosts.

And the members of them are all holders of forbidden arts, secret arts, and the boundaries of blood, leaving aside the leader, Ichi, and the remaining ten people, each of whom has a powerful strength that rivals at least one hundred Chunin.

Such a powerful ninja, once formed an organization, can go into battle lightly, relying on powerful maneuverability to run rampant on the battlefield, interspersed back and forth between enemy formations, disrupting the opponent's strategic deployment.

Even if it is a large-scale army that meets the enemy from the front, even if it is defeated in the end, it can easily retreat.

The former Konoha also had such an army.

Interspersed with enemy formations on the side battlefield, if used properly, it can effectively contain the enemy's main force and greatly increase the winning rate of the frontal battlefield.

That's Team White Fang.

But even the White Fang team could only contain the main enemy force from the flank battlefield in the past, and could not match the large-scale ninja army.

When caught in a large army, the White Fang team will also hate it.

And the elite team of the country of ghosts has surpassed the White Fang team of Konoha in the past in terms of scale and combat effectiveness.

Whether it is from the side battlefield, or from the frontal battlefield to contain the main force of the opponent, they can be competent.

This encounter has undoubtedly confirmed this.

Eleven men formed an army.

"Lord Jiraiya, what should we do next? The country of ghosts has such a force. Based on our words alone, I'm afraid..."

Even standing next to one of the three ninjas, the Joinin of the Sarutobi clan does not have much sense of security at this moment.

In fact, after seeing such power, only returning to Konoha's nest can bring a slight sense of security.

"Anyway, let's go to the camp to rest first, and discuss the next thing after discussion."

For a while, Jirai couldn't think of a good way. He was good at taking the lead in charging, but things like strategy and tactics were better arranged by professionals.

However, only one thing is clear, that is, the strategy and tactical template used by the Kingdom of Ghosts in this war that they deduced from the existing data before has no reference value at all, and must be re-arranged.

Konoha.

Naruto, Sakura, Shikamaru and others gathered around the table in the private room, celebrating Hinata's birthday and enjoying the food.

It was still snowing outside, but the liveliness and heating in the private room made this place a warm world completely different from the outside.

They were sweating hot, sending hot food into their mouths.

Time passed slowly in their lively exchanges.

The last part is the gift giving.

Everyone carefully prepared gifts for Hinata, and Hinata thanked them one by one and accepted them.

Being blessed by so many friends is also a very rare and precious memory in terms of the identity of the eldest lady.

After all, in her memory, this was her first birthday party with her friends.

In previous years, I spent most of my time at home with my parents and sister Hana.

Although I am very happy, spending a birthday party with my family can still feel awkward, especially when my father is present, I feel that even a lively birthday party will become a normal family meal.

"Invincible begins with the sacrifice of ancestors"

"Hinata, this is my gift to you, it's a chakra glove!"

When it was Naruto's birthday present, what he gave was a pair of gloves that could conduct chakra well, packaged in a beautiful gift box, and solemnly placed it in Hinata's hand.

Hinata accepted Naruto's gift with some shyness and a twist.

"Thank you, Naruto-kun..."

Seeing Hinata accepting the gift, Naruto was about to say something when Sakura's question came from the side:

"I wanted to ask for a long time, why do you want to send chakra gloves to Naruto?"

Naruto scratched his head and said, "Ah, that, I think the most practical gift should be given. If you keep it at home and don't use it, isn't it a meaningless decoration?"

After all, Hinata uses soft boxing, a typical melee ninja.

With the physical characteristics of the Hinata clan, combined with this kind of glove that can conduct chakra well, it can be said to be even more powerful.

"In other words, do you want Hinata to keep it in your heart? Naruto, I didn't expect you to be pretty good."

Sakura smiled vaguely.

Naruto blinked his eyes in confusion, not knowing what this sentence meant.

He just chose this gift considering the practicality of the gift and the fact that Hinata uses soft fists?

Why does it feel weird in Sakura's mouth? Naruto scratched his ears and cheeks for a while, feeling very puzzled.

On the other hand, Hinata blushed and turned into an attractive red apple.

"Well, Hinata, don't take it seriously, an elm head like Naruto won't understand."

Shikamaru came over and patted Naruto on the shoulder, and seemed to see something.

"?"

Naruto is even more muddled now.

Always feel like I'm not talking to them on the same channel.

"I-I know."

Hinata nodded, although he knew that Naruto didn't mean that, but he still felt very warm inside.

"Then, it's almost time, and I'll take my leave."

Hinata held the gift box, bowed to everyone, and planned to leave.

As the eldest young lady of the Hinata clan, even though it was her birthday, the clan's schedule for her was quite strict, and she couldn't stay outside for too long.

The clan has a lot of opinions about her, but after all, she has not made up her mind to abolish her status as the heir of the clan, just to show that, which also means that many things in Hinata today must follow the rules of the Hinata clan. Act without breaking the rules.

Sakura turned her head to Naruto and said, "Naruto, go and send Hinata."

"Eh?"

"It's inconvenient for Hinata to carry so many gifts alone. And it's not very safe for a girl to walk alone at night."

"How is it possible, this is in the village, where is there any danger?"

Ino and the other girls helped their foreheads helplessly, as if sighing, and even Dingji, who was still sitting at the dining table, couldn't help but stop eating.

Zuo Jing smiled without saying a word, and seemed to find this scene very interesting.

"Idiot, just go if you want to go, what are you talking about?"

boom!

You're welcome, Sakura punched Naruto in the head.

So, at Sakura's strong request, Naruto shed tears of 'excitement', shared part of the gift box for Hinata, and escorted her back to the Hinata clan's clan.

"Is that okay?"

Shikamaru walked over to Sakura and asked.

"It doesn't matter, I don't like Naruto either."

Sakura's answer is very sloppy.

She only has a 'brother' love for Naruto, and has no idea of ​​love at all.

"Instead of pursuing me, Hinata is more suitable for Naruto. Naruto's temperament needs a backing to handle the sundries for him, and I can't take care of people."

Sakura flirted with her long cherry-colored hair, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Shikamaru looked at Sakura's palm, and there were some calluses on it.

He knew that Xiao Sakura must have practiced terrible physical techniques these days, such as strange powers... It's really not suitable for 'taking care' of people.

"makes sense……"

"Shukamaru, has no one told you that your eyes are rude?"

Sakura squinted over, obviously noticing Shikamaru's gaze.

"Uh... Sakura, don't stare at my head, I don't want to be a fool like Naruto."

Shikamaru jokingly took a step or two to the side, opening a safe distance. I'm afraid that the other party will hit his head like Naruto. After all, he doesn't have the ability to resist beatings like Naruto, and his head will definitely be broken.

"However, speaking of it, Hinata is really working hard. It's her birthday, but she has to go home so early."

Sakura looked at the end of the street, Hinata and Naruto, who had already drifted away, sighed with emotion that the days of the rich and powerful lady were not as beautiful as they had imagined.

"Well, everyone has their own difficulties in this kind of thing, and it depends on how each person guides himself."

Shikamaru put his hands behind his head and said these words.

After enjoying the family's treatment, naturally, he must also undertake the corresponding responsibilities of the family.

Especially for a wealthy family like Hyuga, the rules of their family are much stricter than the regular ninja clan, and the enforcement is also very thorough.

"Speaking of which, Shikamaru, do you feel that something is not right in the village these two days?"

Sakura asked suddenly.

"Huh? Are you saying that the ninjas in the village are suddenly less attractive? I don't know about this."

Shikamaru understood what Sakura was referring to, but unfortunately, there was a lack of information for reference, and he didn't know why there were fewer ninjas in the village recently.

Could it be said that the group participated in any task?

Moreover, Dad didn't know where he was going, and he didn't even have anyone to discuss. I hope nothing will happen. Shikamaru thought, but for some reason, there was always some unease in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.

...

"Sister, you are back."

"Fireworks?"

After returning to the clan and parting with Naruto, Hinata returned to the house.

Before returning to his room, he met his sister Hana in the corridor.

The other party was wearing a white bathrobe with pink petals printed on it, walking barefoot in the corridor, her long hair was wet and fragrant, and it was obvious that she had just taken a bath.

"The hot water has been boiled, hurry up and wash."

Hanako stared at Hinata's chest and said something.

"Okay, okay. I'll put the present in the room and go."

Hinata hurriedly responded, perhaps because she was in a hurry, a gift box fell.

Just as Hinata was about to bend down and was about to pack up again, someone picked up the gift box that fell to the ground faster than her.

"Wait, Hana-"

"Sister, why are you so nervous?"

Hana Huo weighed the size of the gift box, then untied the ribbon to see what was inside.

"Is there anything suspicious in it? Speaking of which, my sister is also at this age."

"What are you talking about! This is what Naruto-kun gave me—"

"Oh, I just said casually, don't be nervous, sister. So that's the case, is it a gift from that yellow hair? I want to take a look even more."

With that said, he threw away the ribbon, opened the gift box, and Hana saw a pair of brand new gloves inside.

The color of the gloves is dark blue, and the material is close to genuine leather, with a small iron guard on one side, which is obviously a glove used by ninjas.

Fireworks stimulated a little with chakra, and realized that the chakra conduction properties of these gloves are very good.

Can better stimulate soft boxing.

She also owns a pair of these chakra gloves.

"It's this thing. Generally speaking, giving girls should not be romantic..."

Before Hana Han finished speaking, Hinata put down the other gift boxes in his hand, and took away the chakra gloves in Hana's hand.

"It's just a birthday present, where do you want to go?"

Although he wanted to make his voice hard, Hinata's voice still sounded soft.

"It's not where I want to go, it's obviously my sister, you are starting to think wildly."

Hana's small body is full of adult-like majesty.

Hinata subconsciously took a step back to the side, hit the wall, and had nowhere to go.

Hua Huo put a palm on the wall, raised his head slightly, and the pure white child hole was raised up, with a sharp color.

"What are you, what are you doing, Hana? I'm telling you, I'm a big sister..."

"It's because of my sister that I can't help but want to bully... It's obviously my sister's fault."

"Please, please don't do this...I..."

Hinata bit her lip tightly, with a pitiful look of being bullied, her eyes wandering timidly.

"It's really a nasty body, and it was relatively conservative a year ago."

"I dont want this happened too……"

"You want to use this to seduce your Naruto-kun, right? I didn't expect that the dignified eldest Miss Hyuga would be so shameless."

Hana's body got closer, almost touching Hinata's chest.

"It's not like that!"

Hinata refuted this in a low voice.

Her **** were so swollen, she didn't want to.

"I don't believe it, let me check."

"don't want!"

Hinata blushed and covered her chest in a panic to prevent fireworks from attacking.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing Hinata's embarrassed and panicked appearance, Hana laughed happily, took two steps back, and the majestic aura of her body disappeared, becoming no different from an ordinary cute little girl.

It was only then that Hinata realized that she had been tricked by the fireworks, and stared at the fireworks with some embarrassment.

This sister is so disgusting!

Obviously she is the sister!

"Hana, you are so rude!"

Hinata's face was full of unhappiness.

"It's all my sister's fault. You don't have any dignity. Are you going to file a complaint?"

"I won't complain, I'm not a child."

Hinata rolled her eyes and began to pack up the other gift boxes that had fallen on the ground.

"Okay, stop teasing you, sister. My birthday present has been placed in your room. Then, I wish you a good dream tonight, sister."

Admiring the interesting appearance of her sister Hinata, Hana walked towards the other end of the corridor with a happy mood.

The next day, eight in the morning.

The siren sounded above Konoha and spread to the whole of Konoha Village.

The villagers were still stunned, but the ninjas who were familiar with the sound of the siren immediately took action, especially the cadre-level ninjas serving in various units, rushing towards the Naruto Building.

This alarm sounded, and it would only sound over the village when there was a war in the village, which meant that Konoha Village would enter a first-level alert state.

Important neighborhoods in the village were posted by Anbu ninjas.

More precisely, a declaration of war.

——In order to counter the hegemony of the country of ghosts and safeguard the sovereignty of the allied countries, the country of fire will, together with the country of earth, the country of wind and the country of water, decide to declare war on the country of ghosts, in order to maintain international peace!

——From today until the end of the war, Konoha will always enter the first-level alert state, and entry and exit are strictly prohibited. All ninjas who violate this rule will be treated as wanted for treason.

——All Shangnin, Chunin, and Genin cancel their original missions, suspend all commissions, and wait in the village to prepare for battle at any time.

"War, war... Hey, Shikamaru, did you see that the village issued a declaration of war to the land of ghosts!"

In front of a wall with an announcement declaration, the new generation of pigs, deer and butterflies meet here.

Ino pointed at the announcement document, patted Shikamaru on the shoulder hard, and let out a nervous scream.

Ding Ci was eating potato chips, the speed was getting faster and faster, almost only afterimages could be seen, and he was obviously very shocked.

"Ino, you don't have to shout so loudly, I can see it."

Shikamaru reluctantly shrugged the shoulder that was hurt by Ino's pat, and then he focused his attention on the declaration of war posted on the wall, biting his finger, intending to use the pain to clear his head.

It is true that he has indeed felt that something is not right in the village these days. His father, as the monitor of Konoha Kamijin, has not been working in the Hokage Building in recent days. Together with Ino and Dingji's father, he doesn't know where he went. There.

But he never guessed that all these anomalies would be related to the war.

And it is still selected at such a time~www.readwn.com~ This is not a decision made on the fly, but a premeditated plan! Seeing that in addition to Fire, other three major powers were also involved, Shikamaru wanted to know that such a war could not be a temporary decision.

"What should I do, Shikamaru? Dad and uncle haven't been in the village recently, I'm afraid..."

Ino's face was full of tension and worry.

Although as a new-generation female ninja, she was born in an era far away from war, but it does not mean that she does not understand the cruelty of war.

Just from the few words in the books, it should be known that the war will cause a large number of deaths and displacement of many people.

She was worried about her father and died on the battlefield.

"What else can I do? Asma, the Shangnin, have just attended the Shangnin meeting. For now, this result cannot be changed, so please wait for the order from your superiors with peace of mind."

Shikamaru said on the surface that he was calm, but the fingers that were bitten by his teeth also trembled slightly, proving his inner unease.

This is a war, not a mission.

In other words, the so-called task, in the face of war, is not even qualified to carry shoes.

...

Naruto Building.

Large meeting room.

Hundreds of Jōnin gathered together. Asami Masumi, the vice president of Konoha Hospital, sat at the head of the seat, proving that she had a very extraordinary position among the Jōnin congregation.

From her position, she could clearly see the five generations of Hokage Tsunade who presided over the meeting, the two advisors, and the patriarch of the Hinata clan, Hinata Hizu, who attended a major meeting for the first time as a high-level elder.

Next, what countermeasures will the high-level side take?

While thinking about such a question, Masumi Asami took out his notebook and started writing with a calm expression, intending to record the content of this meeting verbatim.
