Chapter 671: Situation

Meanwhile, Naruto Office.

Clouds of smoke steamed up, slowly diffused in the air, and permeated the entire office, as if a thin layer of mist had been gathered in the office.

And at the source of the smog, Sandai Hokage was smoking his pipe tightly, not noticing that the entire office was already a world of smog.

"Ahem..."

Third Hokage took another puff of cigarette, but he couldn't help coughing, but he didn't seem to care, his eyes were fixed on the scroll in his hand while coughing.

This is a battle report from the front line, which describes the situation of Yun Yin's raid. The loss of three hundred troops undoubtedly dealt a head-on blow to the Konoha Ninja Army. So far, Konoha has completely become the disadvantaged side. After the end, the advantages accumulated up to now disappeared. It can be said that this is Konoha's biggest and only defeat since World War Three.

Really... In such a situation, as Hokage, how could I have the face to ask Chiba to come up with a plan.

But at this time, a self-deprecating thought full of worry flashed through Sandai Hokage's mind.

Since the outbreak of the Battle of Kikyo Mountain, which marked the beginning of the third ninja world war, Chiba's strategy has allowed Konoha to be caught off guard by the sand hidden attack, to check and balance the other major ninja villages, and in this process, it is Let Konoha accumulate enough advantages. Regardless of the number, strength, and morale of the ninja army, Konoha participated in this Ninja World War as a winner, and the loss was so small that he who had experienced World War II All amazed.

But I didn't expect that Chiba just went to perform a defense map task, and Konoha was caught off guard twice, fell into the clouds in an instant, changed from the dominant side to the disadvantaged side, and even let a considerable number of enemy troops break into the defense line, Threat to the village base camp. Moreover, the situation on the front line is not very good, and Yan Yin seems to be ready to move. If Yun Yin is not restrained, I am afraid that Konoha Ninja Village will usher in another violent surprise attack.

After this violent raid, Konoha was basically doomed.

This situation is already too bad to be bad!

If... If I hadn't been so optimistic, if I had given these pieces of information to Chiba, perhaps such a thing would not have happened. If I could discuss with Chiba more...

"Cough cough...cough cough..."

The Third Hokage was coughing, and his heart was full of self-blame. In the past few years, he didn't know whether it was because of his health, he had neglected more and more, or he was too optimistic seeing such advantages. He didn't look for Chiba again, but handed him over with peace of mind. Gave it to Kushina.

And it was during this period of time that the deployment of Yan Yin and Yun Yin was successful, and the Konoha Ninja Army on the front line was greatly defeated. Before they could react, Yun Yin ushered in a surprise attack and suffered heavy losses.

It can be said that when Chiba participated in the decision-making period, Konoha had always been in an advantage, and during the period when Chiba was away, he was caught in the conspiracy of Yunyin and Yanyin. This comparison is especially clear to the Three Hokages now.

In this matter, it was basically his fault. Because of his optimism and negligence, so many children of Konoha died in battle, so many parents lost their children, so many children lost their parents...

All of this is his responsibility.

The village has enough decision makers to take precautions and reverse the situation, but he didn't reuse them. This is all because of his misjudgment.

It's all... his fault!

"Cough cough...cough cough...cough cough!"

And at this moment, the coughing of the third Hokage suddenly became violent. Halfway through the cough, there was even a "chi", a mouthful of blood was coughed out from the throat, splashed on the scroll in front of him, and the large swath of the scroll and the contents on it were wetted by the throat. black text.

Sure enough, I shouldn't be in this position anymore.

Seeing the blood splattered, Sandai Hokage covered his mouth and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, with a flash of determination in his eyes.

The fourth generation must be selected as soon as possible!

However, before the war is over, and in this situation, if Hokage is replaced, it may cause a series of adverse reactions, and even cause confusion.

Now, the unfavorable situation must also be addressed, and now we need a morale-boosting victory.

otherwise……

Even if Hokage is replaced, the situation cannot be improved immediately, and the variable of turning to defeat still exists.

This matter is still...

Thinking of this, Sandai Hokage put down his pipe, took a slight breath, and said, "Call Chiba here for me."

Now, discuss with Chiba first, draw up a plan, and then discuss with Xiaochun and Menyan, as for Danzo...

Still, talk to him later.

Three generations of Hokage thought about it.

"Yes, the third Hokage-sama."

At this time, a figure flashed in front of the desk, and an Anbe half-kneeled and nodded in agreement, obviously a hidden Anbe staff who listened to Hokage's orders to protect Hokage at any time, appeared at this time, naturally responding to Hokage's request.

"go quickly."

The Third Hokage waved his hand.

"Three Hokage-sama!"

And at this moment, just as Anbu was about to leave, another Anbu suddenly appeared next to him, and before the flash appeared, he couldn't wait to speak.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Third Hokage frowned slightly and asked.

"This is the battle report from the front line. All the scattered troops have joined the front line troops, and we have won an unprecedented victory."

Anbu later handed the scroll to the third Hokage with a little excitement.

victory?

Third Hokage was taken aback for a moment, took the scroll, and frowned even tighter.

But when he unfolded the scroll to watch, his eyes widened slightly, and an expression of undisguised astonishment and surprise slowly emerged.

this……

At this moment, he was already speechless.

"Mizumon-sama not only repelled Yun Yin's raiding troops, but also sent all the lost troops, a total of 31 people, one elite jnin, seven jnin, seventeen elite zhongnin, five zhongnin, and A seed ninja brought back to the front line, and chased Yunyin alone, annihilating thirty Yunyin elites, and seventy Yanyin elites who were planning to take advantage of the fire. The Yanyin and Yunyin troops, pressing on every step of the way, have already retreated 30 miles. The morale and morale of the frontline troops have stabilized."

Seeing the expression of Hokage that he respected, Anbu couldn't hide his excitement afterwards.

Minato... unexpectedly...

Looking at the battle report, the Third Hokage couldn't help shaking his hands a little. He had always known Minato's strength, but he never thought that Minato was so powerful.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Chiba's previous suggestions on stabilizing the morale and morale of the army.

"In this adversity, create a hero, and this hero will rescue the lost partners one by one in the enemy's heavy blockade. His behavior, his heroic deeds, will inspire the main force, and at the same time will deter the enemy."

Unexpectedly, the candidate he thought of at the beginning, the candidate he thought of because of the special features of the Flying Thunder God Technique, actually completed Chiba's suggestion, and succeeded in motivating the troops, and at the same time deterred the enemy, causing the enemy to retreat thirty miles , even in retreat.

Single-handedly, not only rescued all the scattered troops, but also pursued them alone, and achieved such a result...

Although Konoha is still at a disadvantage now, Minato is already worthy of the word "hero" in this battle.

And yes, the hero who saved the village!

I really didn't expect that the kid Minato would...

The Third Hokage could not speak for a long time.

"There is no need to call Chiba. Now, pass an order to the front line. I allow Namikaze Minato to act freely. All his tasks can be accepted at will based on his own judgment. You can also choose according to your own judgment. own movements in this war."

After that, the Third Hokage took a deep breath and issued the most privileged order he could give in this war.

"yes!"

Later, Anbu and Anbu who was ordered to pass on the message to Qianye all nodded in response, and there was quite agitation in their tone.

After that, the two of them disappeared in a flash.

Watergate?

So... just try it!

At this moment, Sandai Hokage stood up slowly, turned around, and opened the window.

"call!"

Suddenly, the night wind rushed in, and the whole office was cleared up.

And outside the window, a round of bright moon, silver light pouring down.

The room is full of brilliance!
