On the front line, since the Konoha army retreated to Mount Kikyo, the offensive of the Cloud Ninja has weakened a lot.

Perhaps it was because of Jing’s good leadership, or the enemy army retreated in the face of difficulties. In short, the enemy’s gold and silver brothers have set up camp outside Mount Kikyo and started a siege.

This siege lasted for a week.

At the end of the year, Jing personally led a troop out of the city to explore. After careful investigation, he found that the enemy had blocked all the front roads.

This means that all the positions of Konoha to the north of Mount Kikyo have fallen.

Jing frowned and thought hard. The tactic of dividing troops to seize the positions in a roundabout way was impossible. If they wanted to take back the hinterland, they had to fight to the death to break the formation.

“Hiratsune, you and Danzo should return to the position first.”

“What?” Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and asked in confusion: “What are you going to do?”

Just the day before yesterday, the disciples of the second generation Hokage, led by Hiruzen, rushed to the battlefield to support the battlefield. All orders were subject to Jing, the commander.

At first, several people were still a little unconvinced. They were all classmates, so why could Uchiha Jing be able to stand alone?

But after he saw the overwhelming strength of the Gold and Silver brothers and the terrifying fighting power that Jing had burst out, they all shut up obediently.

“The enemy is only surrounding but not attacking, there must be a conspiracy. It’s dangerous outside at this time. It’s a good idea to use Flying Thunder God to teleport back!” Danzo said sinisterly, with undisguised malice in his words, “Jing, you are not capable enough to lead us, right?”

“Call me Commander.”

Jing glanced at him, “As a ninja, you must be prepared to die. Besides, I didn’t ask you to charge into battle. Considering your elite jonin strength, if you can’t even return to the position, it would be a shame for the teacher’s training for so many years.”

“Jing, what we are worried about is what you are going to do?” Utane Koharu pushed Danzo away, glared at him unhappily, and then turned to look at Jing, “You are the commander now, and your every move is related to everyone’s survival.”

“Don’t worry, my strength is self-sufficient. “No problem, I just want to try, can I sneak into the enemy base and carry out the ‘decapitation operation’.” Jing said word by word, “But if I take you back, it will consume a lot of chakra, so the ‘decapitation operation’ can’t be carried out…”

“What if something happens to you?” Hiruzen frowned and said, “I’ll go with you, so we can take care of each other.”

“What?” Danzo immediately looked at him like a fool, “Hiruzen, are you crazy? What’s your strength? Going there will only cause trouble…”

Hiruzen’s voice was slightly angry, “I just want to do my part for the village, you can’t put all the pressure on him alone!”

As soon as these words came out, several people looked at each other, and Danzo wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them.

“I know I am not as strong as Jing, but at least I am ready to sacrifice myself at any time!” Hiruzen said firmly, “This is my duty as a disciple of the Hokage!”

“Okay, I will carry out the ‘decapitation operation’, and you guys return to the base immediately. This is the commander’s order!”

Jing shouted in a deep voice, and as his chakra was mobilized, his momentum suddenly changed, instantly extinguishing the emotions of the team members.

Then, he looked at Hiruzen and his tone became soft, “Don’t worry, with my Flying Thunder God Technique and pupil technique, I can retreat at any time.”

After participating in the war for only a month, his temperament has changed drastically. He is no longer as gentle and humble as before, and his eyes are a little more cold and iron-blooded.

Everyone was shocked by his momentum and could only nod helplessly and set off to return to the Kikyo Mountain position.

Jing, on the other hand, went in the opposite direction alone.

At noon, a message was sent back to Konoha, causing all the senior executives to fall into silence.

In the Hokage Building, the meeting room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone, including Tobirama Senju, stared at the letter on the table with complicated expressions, frowning and silent.

The atmosphere once dropped to freezing point, but no one was willing to stand up to break the calm. As time passed, the Konoha high-level officials slowly fell into this difficult quagmire.

Just because…

The news was: “The surprise attack force of the Cloud Ninja invaded the Land of Fire by sea, and it took only half a day to capture the eastern border. The commander of this force was the newly promoted second-generation Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village!”

“So…”

Tobirama spoke, his voice suddenly became hoarse, and he made a final struggle, “Send out Hyuga Harukaze, what do you think?”

“Uh… this…” The elder of the Shimura clan raised his hand and said with some embarrassment: “The strength of the Hyuga clan leader is indeed comparable to the second-generation Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village, but if he leaves, who else can guard the village? What if…”

“What ifThe enemy’s surprise attack will surely kill us.” The chief of the Aburame clan pushed up his sunglasses and added.

Tobirama silently clenched his fists, his knuckles were pale, and his face was as bloodless as his colleagues.

Facing the sighing colleagues, he took a few deep breaths, as if to prepare himself mentally, his eyes changed several times, and finally made up his mind.

“I’m sorry, if I…”

“Bang! ”

The door was pushed open, like opening the mud seal of a pottery jar, letting in a cool breeze.

Tobirama suddenly looked up and looked over with everyone else.

Uzumaki Mito stood in front of the door with a sword on her shoulder. The sunlight reflected a dazzling light on her armor. She looked around at the senior executives in the conference room and walked in.

The current mistress of Konoha Village was still elegant and dignified, but she had taken off her previous loose clothes and replaced them with a fully armed crimson layered armor.

The bright red hair, like a stream of water, had been combed into a neat high ponytail, and the corners of her eyes, which were lightly painted with eyeshadow, were slender, like a scarlet blade.

“Leave all the enemies of the Cloud Ninja’s surprise attack force, including the Second Raikage, to me. “She announced calmly, her tone as if she was giving an order for a trivial matter.

“This…”

“You are the widow of the first generation, and the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate to let you go alone to fight the enemy…”

Uzumaki Mito waited patiently for everyone to finish speaking, then stood beside Tobirama and said slowly: “I can understand everyone’s good intentions, but I am also a member of Konoha. For me, this is not only the lifelong hard work of my husband, but also the dream of peace that we have carried for generations. I can never tolerate the village being destroyed by war!”

Her voice was firm, and although she was a woman, it was sonorous and powerful, “What’s more, no one is more suitable than me in terms of ability or status! ”

Under her insistence, the senior leaders stopped trying to dissuade her. Soon, she would lead a troop to intercept the enemy and fight the Second Raikage.

At the end of the meeting, everyone left one after another. In the huge meeting room, only Tobirama and Mito were left.

“Tobirama, the situation is completely different from before. Don’t apologize to them at any time.” Mito said softly.

“I…”

“Even if you are really wrong, you don’t need to apologize, because you are the Hokage now!” Mito said: “The morale of the army is weakened, which will shake the foundation.”

Tobirama let out a long breath and nodded slightly, “I understand.”

“Also, don’t try to use the technique to summon the dead.”

Mito’s eyes revealed a trace of sadness, “Hashirama has fulfilled his wish, and his life is very perfect. Let him stay in the Pure Land with peace of mind. I… don’t want to see his disappointed eyes.”
