Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch Uchiha Zongxian

1000 people,

This is a number that makes people breathe a deep sigh of relief.

Not only Nara Shikaku, but all the clan heads and elders of small and medium-sized families here breathed a sigh of relief. It's easy to gather 1000 people. It should be no problem for civilian ninjas to gather 600 people. Then a few big families can gather together. The last three or four hundred... Maybe they don't have to hire anyone, and even if they hire people, it probably won't exceed double digits per family.

"...Zongxian-kun, are you really sure?"

Faced with Munesuru's arrogant remarks about comparing himself to the First Hokage, even though he is only one-tenth as capable as the First Hokage, the question is who would compare ordinary people with the First Hokage? The reputation of the God of Ninja is not a joke. Yes, when it comes to the First Hokage, apart from admiration, it is normal that there is no thought of comparison at all.

Dare to compare with the first generation Hokage?

It's so arrogant that people don't know what to say.

If someone else had said such words, Akimichi Tifeng would probably want to send him to Konoha Hospital to see if he had any serious illness, but who said it was Uchiha Sozuru who said such things!With a glorious record of capturing the Fourth Mizukage alive, even if he doesn't think he can really be compared with the First Hokage, who can say for sure about this kind of thing?

Maybe Uchiha Sogenuo is really sure to defeat Kumo Ninja with a force that is less than half of Kumo Ninja!

"That's enough! The force is almost enough. No more troops will be of any use." Zong Xian said slowly, and the strong confidence revealed in his calm and unhurried attitude made it impossible for anyone in the conference room to say any words of doubt.

Even Akimichi Tofeng scratched his hair helplessly.

I knew it earlier,

He doesn't have to think hard about how to poach people from the pockets of various families in the village. 1000 people... Shikaku said before that he had already collected about 800 people, which means that he could survive with another 200 people. , there are only 200 people, and the three pig, deer, and butterfly tribes can make it together.

that's it,

The meeting came to an end quickly,

I thought I would spend a lot of time convincing the clan heads and elders of each family, but in the end I didn’t have to convince anyone at all. On the contrary, Akimichi Qifeng himself was convinced by Zong Xian, and actually agreed to let Zong Xian take 1000 people with him. troops headed north.

In the blink of an eye, the originally packed conference room turned empty again.

"Hokage-sama, wouldn't it be unsafe to do this?"

Nara Shikaku looked at Akimichi Tōfū who was sitting on the main seat and did not move away, and asked aloud.

"How strong the First Hokage is, I don't think the Uchiha clan has no records. Sogen-kun dares to say that... I think it's safe, but to be on the safe side, we can continue to negotiate with various families in private to recruit troops. , of course it’s best if this group of people can’t be used, but what if, what if! If there is a need on the front line, I need to see a force that can be sent out at any time.”

"I understand, I will give this matter the highest priority."

"Also, don't forget to act in a low-key manner, control the public opinion in the village, and don't let the people who have finally settled down get upset again. Forget it, Shikaku, you can focus on the work of recruiting soldiers for the time being, and leave the work of controlling public opinion to Haiyi. Do it, let the Anbu and the police department cooperate with him."

As he said that, Qiudao Feng couldn't help but sigh, and stretched out his hand to press his temples.

His eyes fell on the Hokage's bamboo hat on the table. Looking at the big word "fire", he could clearly feel the heavy pressure on his shoulders. Hokage was indeed not easy to do. As the supreme leader of the village, his decision It will affect the future of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people...

"By the way, Hokage-sama, there is one more thing I need to report to you."

"what?"

"About your Hokage Rock carving."

"...Hokage Rock?" Akimichi Tofuge was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously turned his head and looked outside through the window. From the angle of the conference room, he could clearly see the huge rocks of the four former Daikage. The portraits are lined up from the first generation to the fourth generation, and as the fifth generation he will also stay there for future generations to admire.

"Shikaku, do you have any explanation for this matter?"

"Someone from the administrative department came over and asked if we should start the construction of Hokage Rock now?"

"Tell them that there is no need to worry for the time being. It is still wartime. We will wait until the war is over. Let them focus on logistics work. In any case, they cannot hinder the war on the front line. If anyone dares to hold back at this time, it will happen to me. I haven’t found anyone to establish my authority yet.”

Qiudao Qifeng said murderously.

He didn't want to go down in history as the first Hokage with a record of failure in foreign wars. He needed victory, a definite victory, so he did not hesitate to hand over the position of Hokage's assistant to Uchiha Sogenhir, just to look forward to this The Uchiha leader could create another miracle.

quickly,

Shortly after the meeting, a mixed force of one thousand Konoha ninjas and two thousand Mist ninjas advanced towards the northwest under the command of Jiraiya. Although the commander was changed from Uchiha Munexun to Jiraiya, but in Under the control of the demon full moon and Jiraiya's illustrious reputation as the Sannin, no troublesome riots or conflicts occurred.

Not long after Jiraiya set off,

Zong Xian also set off again, leading a force of more than 1000 people towards the Kingdom of Tang as quickly as possible.

----

As we all know, the Kingdom of Earth is covered with mountains. Like the Kingdom of Thunder, it is a mountain kingdom. However, unlike the Kingdom of Thunder, which has green mountains and green waters and picturesque environment, the mountains of the Kingdom of Earth are just bare stone mountains. Thousands of years of wind and rain have washed away the barren soil, leaving only large chunks of rock exposed.

Therefore, there are many strange-shaped peaks standing in the Kingdom of Earth. The meeting point agreed in the secret letter sent by Yakushi Nonou is such a uniquely shaped place.

"The bowl-shaped mountain peak should be here, right? Zhu Li."

Kakashi held the map and looked at the mountain in front of him that was shaped like a sea bowl. It was narrow at the bottom and wide at the top. From a distance, it looked like a gray sea bowl lying flat on the earth.

"It should be right!"

The woman who answered the call was called 'Zhu Li'. She was wearing a dark red patterned fox mask. Her exquisite figure was highlighted by the ANBU's standard clothing. She was holding an unfolded white scroll in her hand, with a jet black Birds flew from all directions and rushed into the scroll one after another.

"There is only such a bowl-shaped mountain peak nearby, and there are no settlements such as villages around. This is truly a barren mountain." She looked at the intelligence information displayed on the scroll in her hand, and compiled the information she had investigated. He told Kakashi as the captain.

"As long as you're looking for the right place!"

Kakashi put away the map in his hand and asked: "What's going on with Chihaya and Ayuri? Have the tails following us been dealt with?"

Kakashi Hatake, Juri, Chihaya Uchiha, Yuri Ringo, this is the special operations team selected by the upper management of Konoha Village to deal with the "Walking Miko". A group of four people set out from Konoha and traveled thousands of miles. , broke through the border garrison of the Iwa Ninja, and broke into the territory of the Earth Kingdom.

"Everything has been resolved, and nothing has slipped through the net."

It was not Zhu Li who spoke;

But Uchiha Chihaya.

The heroic girl walked over with the [Kusanagi Sword, Vacuum Blade] in hand. The sword in her hand was the same as the wind escape technique called 'Vacuum Blade'. To be precise, the ninjutsu of Wind Release, Vacuum Blade The creator borrowed the name from the Kusanagi sword, which can increase the cutting power of the wind escape technique, implying that the lethality of the wind escape technique can be comparable to that of the Kusanagi sword.

Lin Yuri followed Uchiha Chihaya. She held the [Thunder Knife Fang] tightly in her hands. The two young girls were wrapped in extremely strong murderous aura. Although there was no blood on the blade, the strong blood was The breath seemed to hit his nostrils.

"Of the eight Iwa ninjas, Yuri Ame killed five. I only managed to grab three heads. They had no chance to send any message." Chihaya Uchiha didn't look very happy, but Yuri Lin next to her was smiling very happily. She and Uchiha Chihaya had competed with each other countless times. They had never won before because of Wind Release's restraint against Thunder Release. This was the first time that they had the upper hand.

This group of people sneaked into the Kingdom of Earth, but they were able to hide it from the eyes and ears of the Iwa Ninjas.

Although the Iwa Ninja's army has not yet set out to move south, the Iwa Ninja's border defense force has received orders from the top management of Iwagakure Village. The already tight defense line at the border has once again been raised to two alert levels. This gives Kakashi and the others The infiltration work brought great trouble.

of course,

If they take a long detour, they can always find loopholes in the long border of the Land of Earth to sneak in. The problem is that they don't have time. Medicine Master Noonoyu not only determined the meeting place, but also set the time.

The time is today,

To be precise, it starts from this afternoon until noon tomorrow. This is the agreed rendezvous time.

In order not to miss the rendezvous time, they could only force their way through the tight defense lines of the Iwa Ninja, and were caught by the Iwa Ninja as expected. Fortunately, the Iwa Ninja could not make a fuss because of a few of them, and just sent Two teams of people chased him, and then they were killed by Uchiha Chihaya and Ringo Yuri.

"Has everything been solved? This should take half a day."

Hatake Kakashi frowned slightly and looked up at the sky, "I hope that miko-senpai can come soon!"

It was just an expedient measure to get rid of the tail following them. When the Iwa Ninja border guards found out that the tracking team had not returned, they would definitely send more people to investigate the situation. The four of them could hold off two waves. There were three waves of Iwa-nin attacks, but they were absolutely unable to stop the continuous onslaught of Iwa-nin.

"Captain Kakashi, what if no one comes when the time comes?"

asked Zhuri, who was wearing a mask.

"Then look for it!"

Kakashi's face was also covered by a mask, making it difficult to see the changes in his expression. "Hokage-sama's order is to see the person alive and the body before the death. We must not let the senior miko fall into the hands of the Iwa Ninja." In hand."

"That miko... is a very powerful person! She holds many secrets. Even Danzo... Even Danzo would be afraid of him. If Danzo hadn't caught him Even her weakness cannot easily drive that miko to continue to be a spy."

Zhu Li said softly.

Kakashi glanced at her without saying a word.

He was not familiar with this woman named Zhu Li. Apart from knowing that she was originally a member of the 'Gen', he had no other knowledge about her. Now listening to what this woman said, it seemed that she also had a high level of influence in the original 'Gen'. status.

"Captain Kakashi, the safest way to deal with people like this is to deal with them directly, so that there won't be any future troubles. Originally, Danzo had already made a corresponding plan, but it's a pity... "It's a pity that Danzo kicked his legs first and was finished, so the plan came to nothing.

Zhu Li said quite sincerely that in her opinion, instead of taking a living person back with a living person and leaving the big shots above worrying about how to deal with it, it would be better to deal with it directly on the spot like Yakushi Nonou. Just drop it, once and for all, there will be no more worries.

As a member of the original 'Root', although he now belongs to the Anbu, his past behavior style is not easy to change. If necessary, even his companions can swing the blade in their hands.

"Zhu Li, don't say this again in the future. Hokage-sama did say that he wanted to see the person alive and the corpse before he left. But before leaving, he also said that if possible, he would try to save the life of the senior miko. She He is a great hero in the village, I don’t want to hear such words a second time.”

Kakashi flatly rejected Juri's proposal and even issued a warning to Juri.

"Cold-blooded Kakashi...it seems the rumors are not accurate!"

Zhuri didn't look disappointed after being warned. Instead, she looked at Kakashi curiously. She had heard the name "Anbu's cold-blooded Kakashi" before when she was in Gen. Danzo was still called He tried to get Kakashi into the root, but in the end the good thing was ruined by the Sandaime.

Rumor has it that Hatake Kakashi was famous for being cold-blooded and ruthless when performing missions in ANBU. At that time, few people in ANBU were willing to go on missions with him.

It's just now that

After all, the rumors were just rumors and not the same thing, or what changes had happened to Kakashi after leaving ANBU?

"I don't know what nonsense rumors you have heard before. Remember, I am the captain of this operation. Everything must be carried out according to my orders. Anyone who dares to act willfully will not be polite." Looking at Zhu Li, Kakashi warned again.

"Your mission is to use your secret perception skills to monitor the surrounding situation and find the whereabouts of the witch. Other than that, don't let me discover any little irregularities on your part."

"I'll do my job."

Zhu Li followed the good example and did not go against the captain.

Obeying orders is also a habit she developed in Gen. Since the captain is not willing to listen to her opinion, she will never act without authorization. After all, they were required to obey orders completely in Gen, and there will never be any deviation.

beside,

Chihaya Uchiha and Yuri Lin were not interested in the conversation between the two people at all. Two girls with pure minds and aggressive aggressiveness were carefully maintaining their weapons. Although the weapons in their hands were all magical Such sharp weapons will not rust even if they are thrown into water and soaked for ten or eight years.

However, the girls still take good care of their beloved weapons.
