Chapter 180 The Raid on the Hidden Rock Village (Part 1, Part 2)

Hokage Building Conference Room.

Tsunade and Hanekawa arrived a little late, and the seats were already more than half full.

But he wasn't late, because Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't arrived yet.

"Tsunade-sama."

After seeing Tsunade, all the jounin stood up to say hello.

The atmosphere was so warm that it felt like welcoming the Hokage.

In today's Konoha Village, anyone with a discerning eye can see who is most promising to be the next Hokage.

Even if Tsunade didn't become Hokage in the end, having a good relationship with one of the best medical ninjas in the ninja world would only have advantages and no disadvantages.

As for Hanekawa, he was selectively forgotten when Tsunade was in front of him.

He didn't care, because in his opinion, this kind of small talk scene was really troublesome.

Tsunade also found it troublesome, but she couldn't reach out to hit the smiling man, so she could only respond one by one.

The time came to half past eight.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Koharu Koharu and Mito Monobu walked in together.

The conference room suddenly became quiet.

Danzo Shimura did not attend this Jonin meeting because he was far away on the battlefield of Kumogakure Village.

Orochimaru, Hatake Sakumo and Namikaze Minato had similar reasons.

"I just received the news that just last night, the Konoha defense force led by Misura Hazaki was attacked by the ninja army of Iwagakure Village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said straight to the point, "Fortunately, Minato arrived in time and barely stabilized the situation."

Hanekawa raised his eyebrows.

This is similar to the plot in the original work.

The Konoha Defense Force, the border force stationed in the west of the Land of Fire, specializes in patrolling the border.

The number of people is small. In the original work, after being attacked by the ninja army of Iwagakure Village, only four ninjas, Mimura Hazaki, survived.

In the end, Namikaze Minato arrived and saved them.

But things are different now.

Listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's wishes, with the help of Namikaze Minato, they blocked the ninja army in Iwagakure Village.

If you think about it carefully, this matter has something to do with him, it can be regarded as a butterfly effect.

Because Tsunade's reputation was too high, Shimura Danzo was unwilling to take credit from Namikaze Minato, so he transferred him to guard Iwagakure.

This makes Namikaze Minato very close to Konoha's defense forces, making it easier to get there without spending too much time.

In the original work, although it was not mentioned, judging from the fighting situation in Konoha Village, he most likely came from other battlefields.

"The ninja army in Iwagakure Village consists of about 1,500 ninjas. They are the vanguard, and there will probably be reinforcements later."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment and said, "Tsunade, you bring two thousand people to support, try to be as fast as possible, Minato and the others won't be able to hold on for long."

"yes."

Tsunade responded immediately.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had told her about this before, so she wasn't surprised and didn't say much.

"If Iwagakure Village moves, I'm worried that Kirigakure Village will not be able to sit still."

Mito Menyan suddenly thought of something and reminded him.

"It's definitely a problem."

Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed.

The Hidden Leaf Village seized seven ninja swords from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Under normal circumstances, the Kirigakure Village should trade with them.

After all, these seven ninja swords are of great significance.

But they have been silent, which shows that they have other thoughts, that is, they still want to start a war.

It's normal to think about it. Although Kirigakure Village was defeated miserably, the number of ninjas lost was not many, less than a thousand, and the overall strength was still there.

"The Kirigakure Village... Rizu, you, the Hyuga clan, are responsible for it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment and then ordered.

"yes."

Hinata Hizu was stunned. Although he was a little surprised, he still agreed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked them to guard the Kirigakure Village, apparently considering that the Byakugan was the nemesis of the Kirigakure Jutsu.

It's just a pity that I can't follow Tsunade to the battlefield of Iwagakure Village.

Hanekawa's heart moved.

Could this be the time when Kirigakure Muraqi got a white eye?

But it has nothing to do with him.

This kind of reminder may not be useful, and it will also arouse their suspicion.

What's more, he doesn't have much interaction with the Hyuga clan. They invested in Tsunade, not him.

"No need to worry too much."

Seeing the dull atmosphere, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said, "Overall, our Konoha Village is currently in an advantageous position."

"yes."

Mito Kadoen agreed, "And Sakumo's team just severely damaged the Two-Tailed Jinchuuriki."

"Are these two things related?"

Tsunade suddenly thought of something and asked, "Why did Iwagakure attack Konoha Village when Kumogakure lost?"

"You mean they cooperated?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's smile suddenly stiffened.

"have no idea."

Tsunade shook her head and said, "But you need to prepare for the worst."

Hanekawa raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Tsunade's guess had some truth to it, but this time it was completely wrong.

Yanyin Village does not want to cooperate with Yunyin Village, but uses the strength of the whole village to prepare for a sneak attack.

It can be seen from the 80,000 ninja coalition in the Fourth Ninja War in the original work that the maximum number of ninjas in a single village in the five major villages is 15,000.

And Yanyin Village secretly attacked Yunyin Village and sent out 10,000 ninjas, which can be said to be a full force.

"I'll let the ANBU do more research."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a headache.

If it is true as Tsunade said, it will be a huge trouble for the Leaf Village.

"That concludes today's meeting."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a serious tone, "Tsunade, you set off immediately."

Everyone stood up and left the conference room.

"teacher."

Hanekawa followed Tsunade, and seeing no one around, he said, "I think the real purpose of Iwagakure Village is Kumogakure Village."

"You mean Iwagakure is pretending to attack Konoha Village just to confuse Kumogakure?"

Tsunade stopped and looked at him.

Her reaction was quick and she guessed the truth as soon as she was reminded.

"Um."

Hanekawa explained, "Because Iwagakure moved too fast, it was as if they had been waiting for Kumogakure to lose."

"good."

Tsunade said thoughtfully, "If this is the case, it will be a good thing for our Konoha Village."

Hanekawa nodded slightly.

In the original work, Konoha Village was the most besieged ninja village, and the other four ninja villages all fought with it.

But now, Cloud Hidden Village has replaced Konoha Village and is about to be besieged by three ninja villages.

But Konoha Village isn't that safe either.

After all, there is Kirigakure Village ready to move, and it is very likely to turn into a three-front war like Kumogakure Village.

"If you were ten years older, the teacher could help you compete for Hokage."

Tsunade had a look of pity on her face.

In her opinion, Hanekawa has initially possessed the qualities to become Hokage.

The only problem is age.

"It's okay, you just need to be Hokage first and then support me."

Hanekawa said with a wink.

If Tsunade becomes Hokage, he can be the crown prince!

"Go inform Hong and Lin!"

Tsunade glared at him, a little helpless.

Why does this kid keep saying this every day?

If it were any other person, she would have beaten him up.

"Yes, teacher."

Hanekawa replied with a smile.

"Meet at the gate of Konoha Village in two hours."

Tsunade continued to walk forward, waved her hand and said, "You don't have to follow me, just go back and make preparations."

As a frontline commander, she still has a lot to do.

The most important thing is how to select two thousand ninjas within two hours.

Hanekawa nodded and went to Nohara Lin's house.

"Happy New Year!"

When Nohara Lin saw Hanekawa, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

He came to visit on the first day of the New Year, and she thought he was here to pay New Year greetings.

"Happy New Year."

Hanekawa responded and then got down to business, "Lin, we will go to the battlefield of Iwagakure Village in two hours."

"Iwagakure Village?"

Nohara Lin was stunned for a moment and immediately realized what had happened.

Tsunade had been vaccinated against them before, so she wasn't too surprised.

"Kakashi and Obito, how are they doing?"

Nohara Lin asked quickly.

"They're fine."

Hanekawa comforted them, "They are all very strong, so don't worry too much."

"That's good."

Nohara Rin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will be there on time."

After she finished speaking, she returned to the room and began to count the ninja tools.

Hanekawa said goodbye to her and returned to Yuhi Kurenai's home.

"hateful!"

Yuhi Hong was very dissatisfied and said, "I am restless even in the New Year!"

She originally planned to go shopping with Hanekawa on the first day of the New Year, but now she had to give up.

"Let's beat them up."

Hanekawa smiled and touched her head.

"Fight them back!"

Yuhi Hong snorted and said in full agreement.

"Get ready, I'll go with you."

Yuhi Zhenhong walked in from the door.

He had just received a notice asking him to follow Tsunade to the battlefield of Iwagakure Village.

Hanekawa ended his chat with Yuhi Kurenai.

He has to prepare not only ninja utensils, but also various kitchen utensils, seasonings and dishes.

Because he had to feed Tsunade secretly.

Hanekawa went to a nearby vegetable market and made a big purchase.

Fortunately, he has money and can afford to buy a seal storage scroll.

Under normal circumstances, even jonins only use one or two seal storage scrolls.

In addition to being expensive, it’s because there aren’t that many things to bring.

Most of the things they brought were ninja tools, dry food and clothes.

Hanekawa felt like he was moving.

In fact, it's almost the same. After all, the war with Iwagakure Village will be difficult to end in a while.

Two hours later, Hanekawa, Yuhi Kurenai and Yuhi Ma Kurenai arrived at the gate of Konoha Village.

Two thousand ninjas gathered together in a dense crowd, which looked very oppressive.

"You two follow Tsunade-sama and pay attention to your safety."

Yuhi Zhenhong gave a warning and returned to her team.

Whether it's a war or a normal mission, the ninja team is the unit.

Yuhi Zhenhong is naturally no exception.

But he has no fixed teammates, just a temporary team.

It is very common for teammates to die in battle.

In the original work, even Uzumaki Naruto's team has undergone reorganization.

"Aburame Zhiwei."

Tsunade looked around and spoke.

"Tsunade-sama."

A young man wearing a white robe and carrying a gourd appears.

Aburame Shiwei is the father of Aburame Shino, one of Konoha's twelve heroes.

Although the Aburame clan is best at reconnaissance, their abilities are actually very comprehensive.

In addition to reconnaissance, combat is also not weak.

"Because the situation is urgent, we will rush on our way as quickly as possible. We will trouble you Aburame clan if we investigate."

Tsunade ordered.

"yes!"

Aburame Shiwei answered with a serious look.

"Let's go! Go at full speed! Target the Country of Grass!"

Tsunade waved her hand, and two thousand ninjas ran out in an orderly manner.

The Kingdom of Grass is located between the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Fire, and is the buffer zone between Iwagakure and Konoha Village.

The place where this battle took place was the Country of Grass.

As for Caoyin Village, they dare not speak out in anger, so they can only restrain themselves to avoid harming Chiyu.

Hanekawa followed Tsunade, thinking as he ran.

If he remembered correctly, Uchiha Madara was in the Land of Grass.

Because of this, he was able to rescue Uchiha Obito in time.

But in his old age, Uchiha Madara's strength has been greatly reduced, so there is no need to worry too much.

In two years at most, he will die.

After all, Uchiha Sasuke will be born soon.

Because there were two thousand ninjas there, there were no problems along the way, and everyone successfully arrived at the Country of Grass the next afternoon.

"Zhiwei."

Tsunade thought for a moment and then ordered, "You go ahead and see Minato."

"yes!"

Aburame Zhiwei led three ninjas from the Aburame clan and quickly disappeared.

"The entire army rests on the spot!"

Tsunade shouted.

During this day and a half, except for a good night's sleep last night, we were basically on the road, and everyone was exhausted physically and mentally.

Now in the Country of Grass, battles can break out at any time, and this state is very dangerous.

After hearing Tsunade's order, everyone sat directly on the ground to recover.

"Teacher, do you want some water?"

Hanekawa handed over a water bottle.

Tsunade was not polite, unscrewed the water bottle, and drank half of the bottle of water. For those who didn't know, she thought she was drinking Coke.

Hanekawa sat next to her and closed his eyes.

With nothing to do, he practiced the ninjutsu of perception.

Perception Ninjutsu is relatively simpler than Wind Release Ninjutsu.

He felt that he would get the entry for 'Special Jōnin in Sensing' first, and finally the 'Special Jōnin in Wind Escape'.

However, there is no difference in the order of time. After all, they are all used to synthesize the A-level entry of 'Almighty Jonin'.

He was looking forward to the A-level entry 'Almighty Jonin'.

After all, this series of entries has very good effects.

An hour later, the break ended, and Aburame Zhiwei and others returned in time.

"Tsunade-sama."

Aburame Shiwei reported, "We met Minato. They just experienced a fierce battle and suffered a lot of losses."

"What about the Iwagakure Village ninja?"

Tsunade asked, frowning slightly.
