Chapter 2 Sarutobi Hiruzen

In the square of the Hokage Building, Konoha ninjas gathered.

There are genin, chunin, jounin, civilian ninja, family ninja, and ANBU ninja, and the number is about a thousand.

No one whispered, everyone was silent.

The enemy that was about to attack was like a huge boulder weighing on everyone's hearts. Although it was not breathless, it was still heavy.

A thousand people was not many, because Konoha's main forces were tied up on all fronts, leaving the village empty of troops.

After all, it was one against four, and the war had been going on for so long. It was normal for the troops to be stretched thin, and it was too late to mobilize ninja support from the border.

If it weren't for the fact that the four major ninja villages had deep grudges and were attacking each other, it would be impossible for them to work together, otherwise Konoha would probably have been defeated...

Wearing a Hokage hat and Hokage robe, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was about fifty years old and in his prime, appeared on the edge of the top floor of the Hokage building, and all the ninjas looked up.

In the world of Naruto, fifty years old is not considered old. Because of the nourishment of chakra to the body, it can be said that he is at the peak of his combat power.

Hiruzen Sarutobi who appeared in the original work is already too old. It can be said that except for experience, everything else is at a low ebb.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, raised his hand to take off the Hokage hat he was wearing, bent down and bowed...

The ninjas in the square couldn't help but be shaken when they saw this "shocking" scene. Only a few people, such as Uchiha Gen, had no fluctuations in their hearts.

"Because of my command error, Kumogakure and Sunagakure broke into the hinterland of the Land of Fire, which in turn caused Konoha to face an unprecedented threat. I cannot absolve myself of the blame."

"I know that just bowing and apologizing will not help at all, so in order to apologize, I am willing to resign as Hokage after the Ninja War is over and let new leaves lead Konoha forward."

"My death is not a pity. I implore you to do your best to protect our homeland and never let the inheritance of our ancestors be ruined in our hands."

"please!"

With the blessing of chakra, Sarutobi Hiruzen's words spread throughout the square. After speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen bowed again and could not stand for a long time.

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi behave like this, the dissatisfaction hidden deep in the hearts of the ninjas disappeared.

Ninjas who learn everything in order to complete tasks are relatively simple in their thinking and are not prone to being unruly.

Uchiha Gen's dissatisfaction with this unruly man has not completely dissipated, but only partially dissipated.

Gen Uchiha hates being righteous after the fact, so what has he been doing?

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen was able to adopt such an attitude, whether it was out of his own heart or forced, it was barely acceptable.

After all, it is better to make amends after the fact, and justice after the fact is better than nothing. Having nothing is really scary!

"Swear to defend Konoha to the death!"

I don't know which ninja suddenly shouted, and then the atmosphere and the situation were stirred up.

"Swear to defend Konoha to the death!"

"Swear to defend Konoha to the death!"

"Swear to protect Konoha to the death!"

"..."

More and more ninjas began to shout, from chaos to uniformity, from a low voice to a voice as loud as thunder. Many ninjas' blood surged, their faces turned red, and they were excited.

In order to avoid becoming an outlier, Uchiha Genya just shouted along, pretending to be passionate and excited.

Swear to protect Konoha to the death?

Come on, he has no sense of belonging to Konoha, his own life is the most important.

Although there is a high probability that Konoha will win in the end, but seeing that the situation is not going well, it still has to be tight and pull!

When the scene subsided a little, Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "All ninjas immediately follow Shinnosuke to the southeast of Konoha to set up defenses to meet the enemy. I will come after I put on my combat uniform."

Shinnosuke's full name is Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the Minister of Konoha's Anbu, and his wife is the Deputy Minister of Konoha's Anbu.

"yes!"

Whoosh whoosh... One after another figures shot out of the sky, jumping like fleas to the southeast of Konoha. The cliffs and deep dense forests were like walking on the flat ground, with speeds varying from fast to slow.

A group of more than a thousand people had just crossed Platycodon Castle, a historic site in the northeast of Konoha, and reached Mount Platycodon outside the city when four ANBU appeared in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi who had changed into battle uniforms and was catching up.

Four people knelt on one knee, and a team leader wearing a white animal mask and a white windbreaker said: "Lord Hokage, Kumogakure and Sunagakure are less than forty miles away from here."

"What? How could it be so fast?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen exclaimed, his expression ugly.

"Damn it!"

"Immediately send an order, relying on the jounin and special jounin, to prepare on the spot to meet the enemy."

"Send another brigade to block the attack and try to slow down the enemy's advance."

"Remember not to be too obsessed with fighting, and retreat when you need to."

"yes!"

The ANBU surrounding Sarutobi Hiruzen, including the ANBU ninjas who had just come back and had no time to rest, disappeared instantly, leaving only the ANBU minister and deputy minister.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood on the mountain and looked at the endless forest, which was like a sea of ​​trees. He was worried, but he became determined in an instant.

There was no way, the enemy came too quickly and there was no time to make too many arrangements.

But no matter how much the price is paid, the enemy must be defeated, and Konoha cannot be destroyed in his hands no matter what!

With the ANBU not sparing any chakra, all the Konoha ninjas quickly got the news.

Under the organization of jounin and special jounin, they quickly set up Mount Kikyo as the center of the battlefield and laid out various barriers and traps from south to northeast.

The war has been going on till now, and the surviving ninjas have been tempered by blood and fire, and they carry out the tasks in an orderly manner after their bosses arrange them.

Although all the ninjas were stressed, none of them panicked.

What ninjas need most is calmness. Panic is a taboo. This is something that is taught in ninja schools.

In the Uchiha clan's defense area, on a piece of grass, when the ninjas left quickly, Uchiha Yashiro suddenly called out to Uchiha Gen.

"Xuan, stay for a while."

Uchiha Gen said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Does Captain Yashiro have any orders?"

"Follow me, remember not to stay too far away from me during the battle." Uchiha Yashiro said expressionlessly.

Gen Uchiha immediately understood that this was to help him take care of and rescue him during the battle.

No wonder he had no teammates and no mission just now.

Is this the privilege of genius?

It feels pretty good, but some of my methods are not easy to use in front of you.

The battlefield is the best opportunity to harvest souls. They are all enemies, so there is no need to worry!

"Thank you Captain Yashiro for your kindness, but Xuan does not need special care."

"Uchiha are born to fight. They are never afraid of war. I can definitely survive!"

Uchiha Xuanyi spoke righteously and spoke with full confidence.

Although the kindness was rejected, Uchiha Yashiro was not angry, but looked at Gen Uchiha even more highly.

The ninjas of the Uchiha clan should have such a spirit!

"In that case, forget it."

"I'll arrange for you to be the squad leader."

Uchiha Gen looked embarrassed and said: "Captain, I haven't gotten out of the shadow of last time. If my teammates..."

Having said this, Uchiha Gen remained silent, his eyes were dim, his face was sad, and he lowered his head silently.

Uchiha Yashiro also knew about Uchiha Genin's captain and the death of his teammates to activate the second magatama.

When Uchiha Yashiro heard this, he understood in his heart, thought for a while and said: "You have awakened the two Magatama Sharingan. After recovering from the injury, you have learned some ninjutsu collected by the family. Your strength should be among the best among the chunin. "

"I do have the ability to act alone, but my experience is a bit lacking."

"If you act alone against a small team, you will suffer a big loss. Have you thought about it?"

The Uchiha clan ninjas who have awakened the Sharingan are basically invincible against ninjas of the same level one on one, but facing a small team, the power of the Sharingan is greatly reduced.

Uchiha Xuan said seriously: "Captain, I've thought about it."

"When I encounter a team led by a chuunin, I will not attack blindly. Instead, I will strike hard at the genin team."

"Even if we have to take action, we will use methods such as detachment, division, and sneak attacks. We will defeat them one by one and never confront the enemy head-on."

"When I encounter a Jonin or a Jonin team, I will turn around and leave without hesitation."

Uchiha Yashiro nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, it seems you are very awake."

"So I feel relieved, go ahead and be safe."

"yes."

Uchiha Gen bowed slightly, and then left with a movement.

He was off to pick his own hunting grounds.
