Chapter 392 The Third Hokage

Now that he has guessed the movements of Kumogakure and Iwagakure, the Third Hokage should have made a decision in his mind.

The Third Hokage did not answer Danzo's words, but looked straight at him.

Seeing the look in the eyes of the Third Hokage.

"You're not thinking!" Danzo Shimura looked at the Third Hokage with a look of surprise on his face.

"That's right. If it really doesn't work, I will personally lead the troops to the front line. To resist the joint forces of Kumogakure and Iwagakure!" Seeing Danzo Shimura's expression, the Third Hokage knew that Danzo had guessed his thoughts.

He is indeed worthy of being my old friend who has been my partner for many years.

Hear what the Third Hokage said.

Danzo Shimura just felt like he was not feeling well.

The Hokage is leading the team personally. If anything unexpected happens, there will be no one to protect Konoha Village.

"Sarutobi, you have to know that is a team gathered from Iwagakure and Kumogakure!!" Danzo Shimura said slowly while looking at the Third Hokage.

"I understand, so I will send out the Anbu and the Root together." The Third Hokage said in a deep voice.

"Haha, that old guy Ohnoki has the courage to go to the battlefield, so why should I be afraid?" The Third Hokage curled his lips and let out a disdainful laugh.

"Maybe these two old guys just acted together by chance!" Danzo Shimura seemed to be comforting the Third Hokage, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

"Even so, we must be prepared to reinforce Orochimaru, Minato and others at any time!" said the Third Hokage dimly.

"Is that so! Then Sarutobi, I will go with you!!" Seeing that the Third Hokage had made up his mind, Danzo Shimura stopped trying to persuade him.

Instead, state your decision.

"Danzo you..." The Third Hokage was not surprised by the decision made by his old partner.

After all, although Danzo has his own selfish desires, he is truly devoted to the village.

Otherwise, the Third Hokage would not have tolerated Danzo setting up the Root organization in the village.

Nowadays, the village is in danger of being destroyed, and even Danzo has no intention of continuing to waste time on internal conflicts.

Originally, the Third Hokage wanted Hanzo to stay in the village to guard against possible accidents.

But look at Danzo's appearance.

"Okay, let's go together then." The Third Hokage pondered for a while, and finally nodded, agreeing with Hanzo's idea.

"Okay, I'll go back and gather the Root!" Danzo Shimura nodded.

"Do we need to discuss this with Utane Koharu and Mitokado En?" As he turned and walked towards the door, Danzo Shimura looked back at the Third Hokage and said with suggestion.

"No need, I will notify them both directly when the time comes!!" He rejected Shimura Danzo's suggestion without even thinking about it.

At a time like this, what's the point of discussing things with them? They should just take care of the house.

This is also the reason why the Third Hokage did not inform Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu when he learned about the latest developments of Kumogakure.

Instead, he was waiting for Shimura Danzo's arrival.

Judging from the Third Hokage's experienced military vision, the actions of the Hidden Cloud Village were definitely not without reason.

He believed that Iwagakure would definitely take action.

As expected, before the Anbu could get news about Iwagakure, Danzo already brought news about the Root.

same moment.

Konoha's Kumogakure Front.

Orochimaru looked at the sand table on the table with a grim expression.

Standing in a circle around the sand table were the captains of the Yunyin Front.

They were all summoned by Orochimaru.

Just now he had received the news that the Third Raikage Ai had personally led the troops to attack.

"Shikaku, how long will it take for the enemy to reach the front line?" Orochimaru asked a pineapple-headed ninja beside him.

"According to the scouts' estimates, we should have another day. If the other party speeds up..." Nara Shikaku didn't continue, but the meaning was already very clear.

"Facing the attack from Kumogakure, Shikaku, do you have a better plan?" Orochimaru asked again.

Hearing Orochimaru's words, Nara Shikaku couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Facing the ninjas from Kumogakure who are almost out in full force, defense is what we should do most now."

Facing the Kumogakure Army, which is nearly twice the size of the Konoha Ninja Army, they have almost no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

Now we can only take advantage of the geographical location to deal with Yunyin.

After listening to what Nara Shikaku said, Orochimaru raised his head, stared at the top of the tent for a while, and sighed deeply.

Given the huge disparity in military strength, this cannot be reversed by ordinary manpower.

Compared with a war machine like the army, individual strength has no advantage at all.

Unless you are the one who pacifies the troubled times, the power of an individual is negligible in the face of a war of this magnitude.

"Notify everyone to be on high alert and be ready to fight at any time." Orochimaru could only give this order helplessly.

"Fugaku, Hizashi, double the patrol's strength."

After that, Orochimaru looked at Hyuga Hizashi with white pupils and said, "Hizashi, the patrol range of the Hyuga patrol team will be doubled. If there is any abnormality, signal immediately."

"Okay, Lord Orochimaru." Hinata almost nodded.

At this time, Hinata Hizashi naturally understood the importance of information.

Uchiha Fugaku also nodded to Orochimaru, indicating that the Uchiha clan would definitely not lag behind.

Following Orochimaru's arrangements one by one.

After receiving the order, many ninjas began to leave.

"Ayase, your medical department's mission may be heavy this time. I hope you can do a good job as the medical department's ninjas." Orochimaru looked at the few remaining people in the tent.

Said to the last remaining female ninja.

"I understand, Lord Orochimaru, our ninjas in the medical department are ready to sacrifice everything for the village!" There was a firm look on Asami Ayase's pretty face.

After the war begins, the threat posed by the Medical Department will greatly increase.

Although Orochimaru is still relatively confident in the village's ninjas.

But it is undeniable that there may be some people who are afraid of death.

Don't blame Orochimaru for being cruel when the time comes.

Any action that disrupts military morale on the battlefield may have serious consequences.

Konoha camp, Iwagakure front.

Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya who was wrapped tightly, and others.

They also gathered in front of the sand table of the Ninja World map.

"According to the information from the front line, Ōnoki has already set out from the Iwagakure Village." Namikaze Minato pointed at the location on the sand table with his hand.

"Based on the opponent's speed, they should reach the Iwagakure camp by tomorrow morning at the latest." After saying this, Minato Namikaze drew the shortest route on the sand table with his hand.

The Iwagakure front where Minato Namikaze is located is also facing a large number of Iwagakure ninjas.
