Chapter 136 The Awakening Uzumaki Mito

It was ten o'clock in the morning, almost noon, in the temporary Hokage's office.

The warm sunlight shines on the mahogany table from the half-open window, but it is blocked by the mountains of documents piled together.

Rusty.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was sitting on a chair, flipping through the documents on the table with one hand, and holding his pipe familiarly with the other hand.

"call!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen brought the cigarette holder to his mouth. The tobacco shreds in the cigarette butt shone slightly, and a few wisps of white smoke rose up between puffs. The fine smoke was carried out of the window by the wind.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen choked after taking a deep breath, frowned and coughed slightly hoarsely.

But after the itching feeling in his throat passed, he still took a puff without stopping.

"Hiruzen, have you been smoking too much lately?"

Mito Kadoyan sat on a chair against the other wall, far away from the window that constantly sucked out smoke, and reminded: "Although I know you are under a lot of pressure now, you should also pay a little attention to your body, right?"

"Yes, although I don't want to put any more pressure on you, you should also take care of yourself and your family."

Koharu, who was sitting next to Mito Kadoyan, also nodded and sighed: "You have been staying here all this time without even going back home. You didn't even go back for Asuma's child's first birthday."

"Biwako has complained to me several times, and she wants me to advise you, secretly or openly."

Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed not to have heard, his face still full of sorrow.

Ever since the invasion of Sky Country happened not long ago, he has become like this.

Although he is clearly in his forties, he looks as if he is in his fifties or sixties. He seems to be more than ten years older.

The pipe, which was once considered a hobby, is now completely in my hand, and I cough more and more often.

It's like a machine that looks bright on the outside, but the gears running inside are rotten, making an overburdened creaking sound, and giving off an old smell.

"...Ahem, let's not talk about these things for now."

After a long silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed, and then said in a deep voice: "After Musashi stepped down, Hanzo succeeded him, and he officially declared war on the Kingdom of Wind. What do you think about this?"

In the past, the Kingdom of Rain, which had always been weak and bullied like the Kingdom of Grass, actually took the initiative to intervene in the war and publicly declared war on the big powers. This news caught many forces in the ninja world by surprise.

As a small country destined to become a battlefield for big powers, the Country of Rain has been facing economic, diplomatic and military restrictions from big powers all year round. Big powers and Ninja Village have never put such a small country in their eyes.

In the past, even if a small country attacked a big country, it was basically assisting another big country secretly, and it was also playing the role of cannon fodder for the big country.

Hanzo was the first person to stand up and openly challenge the majesty of the great power.

He even had a very tough attitude and had no intention of giving in at all.

It directly disclosed the various atrocities committed by Sunagakure in the Land of Rain, and carried out inhumane massacres of villages in the Land of Rain in order to plunder supplies, which completely touched the most basic moral bottom line of a human being.

The declaration of war in the Land of Rain is not so much a declaration of war as it is a scolding of Sunagakure, pointing at the daimyo and the Third Kazekage.

"What an unexpected development." Mito Kadoyan seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but smile, "The daimyo of the Land of Wind and the Third Kazekage should be very angry now."

He could even imagine the rage of the Third Kazekage and the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.

The provocation of a small country is undoubtedly a great humiliation for them.

What's more, it was the ninja from this small country who seriously injured their frontline commander and temporarily interrupted their offensive.

It can be expected that Hanzo and Amegakure will inevitably face the joint revenge of the Kazekage and the Daimyo.

"There is nothing to be happy about." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked down at the documents and said solemnly, "Our current situation is not much better."

He was just worried to death now.

There was so much noise about the attack on Konoha that it was impossible to completely block the news.

The Kingdom of Earth is now ready to take action and wants to beat up the lost dog. Although the Kingdom of Thunder’s attitude is unclear, it is probably also watching with eager eyes.

Their new Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki is indeed not yet useful, but isn't Konoha's Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki also abolished now?

At least they, Kumogakure, still have a two-tailed one.

In this way, once the war actually starts, a third front will be drawn up, or even four fronts will start fighting at the same time.

All that can be done now is to pray that the Kingdom of Rain can persevere to the end and never give way to those jackals, tigers and leopards.

But how is that possible?

In the final analysis, Sunagakure went too far, which made the daimyo and Amegakure village anxious, otherwise they would not dare to resist Sunagakure.

It was already very difficult to face Sunagakure now. If Iwagakure really took action, Amagakure would not be able to resist its threats and inducements.

After all, what the Rain Country and Rain Ninja hate is the Wind Country and Sunagakure, and they don’t have much of a conflict with the Earth Country. The biggest problem is that some civilians were robbed and accidentally injured. As long as Iwagakure doesn’t massacre like Sunagakure, they will fine.

"Tsk." When he thought of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt upset and smoked fiercely, letting himself be surrounded by smoke.

When they went to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoyan looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know how to comfort them.

The office fell into silence again.

All he could hear was the sound of paper being turned, the sound of Hiruzen Sarutobi smoking, and a little bit of wind blowing in.

The quiet environment makes people a little sleepy, but the silence is always broken.

Bang bang!

There was a sudden knock on the door, and before Sarutobi Hiruzen could speak, he heard a voice outside the door.

"Sandaime-sama." The man's tone was a little impatient, "Uzumaki Mito has woken up, but Tsunade knocked out the guard and entered the ward. When we found out, the ward had been blocked by a barrier."

"What?!"

"How dare Tsunade?!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Mito Kadoyan and the two men changed instantly.

At the same time, there was a harsh sound in their ears, and the two subconsciously turned their heads to look, only to see Sarutobi Hiruzen standing up, his face already turning ashen.

Apparently, he realized what Mito was planning to do.

But this is by no means the result he wants to see.

————————-

Half an hour ago, in a ward of Konoha Hospital.

Click.

Tsunade, who was criticized by Jiraiya for not having a heavy hand, opened the door with a voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Looking up, in front of the only window in the white ward, stood a slightly stooped and thin figure, quietly looking down at the streets of Konoha outside.

There was a faint noise of people outside the window, and from time to time there were crackling sounds of burning and the sound of huge objects collapsing. Some people thought it was demolition, but in fact what they were doing was no different from this. After all, any new building was built. The original ruins need to be demolished.

What Uzumaki Mito saw was Konoha that seemed to still be shrouded in light black smoke. Even with the sunshine and the remaining green plants spreading, it could not hide the crisis that affected almost half of Konoha a few days ago.

A large number of green plants were burned, leaving behind pitch-black bodies. The gray ashes were like heavy snow that arrived early, covering every place in Konoha one by one. Each building was full of cracks or missing arms and legs.

The worse ones, like the Hokage Building, with only one ruin left, and the better ones, like the Ninja School or Konoha Hospital.

Several big holes were opened in the former, and half of the latter was directly burned. After rescue, the other half was left unburned. The overall look is somewhat impressionistic art style that combines lushness and withering to highlight the contrast.

And at least half of everything in front of her was done by her jinchūriki.

In Uzumaki Mito's perception, the entire Konoha was filled with malice.

It was like cutting countless small wounds on her body, and the extremely sticky blood was squeezed into her flowing blood, turning her entire body into an aggregation of hatred.

"Grandma Mito..." Tsunade called softly as she closed the door gently.

But the figure standing in front of the window trembled, as if waking up from a nightmare, or entering a new nightmare.

"vomit!"

Uzumaki Mito knelt on the ground for no reason, and the sound of nauseating vomiting was simply terrifying.

A large amount of pale yellow water gushes out, as if it wants to spit out its internal organs.
