Tens of thousands of ninjas from Iwagakure Village invaded the northern border of the Spider Country.

Seventy percent of the Hoshigakure ninjas, including Natsuhi Hoshi and Cocytus, were on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Fire. Iwagakure almost encountered no obstruction from the ninjas and pushed his troops to the original border of the Earth Kingdom.

The Spider Country troops immediately returned to aid their country.

Such changes in the battlefield of "the land of life and death" can have an impact on the whole body.

First of all, Sunagakure immediately slowed down the momentum of the attack. After plundering the territory of the Country of Fire, the large army began to conservatively withdraw from the territory of the Country of Fire.

The Sunagakure troops finally stayed at the abandoned border defense building on the border of the Land of Fire, resting and watching the situation.

The same goes for the weaker Kirigakure.

Gotachibana Yagura and Terumi Mei each led the Kirigakure troops back to the coastal port and guarded the ships. If the situation went wrong, they would leave immediately by ship.

Konoha's war pressure gained a breather due to the entry of its old enemy Iwagakure into the war.

However, the atmosphere on the Konoha front line was not as good as expected.

There are many tents and military camps.

In the endless smoke, countless Konoha ninjas were lying slumped on the grass with their heads wrapped around their heads and leaning on crutches, suffering from minor injuries.

Their eyes occasionally glanced at the command tent, with some resentment and some hope, but it always contained a meaning: they no longer wanted to fight this kind of fierce war like a meat grinder!

In the command tent.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was at the top of the list, looked at the silent army commanders below, his face turned black.

The discussion in Konoha has spread to the frontline ninja army with the return of injured soldiers who have been recovering.

The Konoha ninjas were talking a lot. Even if there was no mutiny, their will to fight had plummeted.

If it weren't for the changes in the Spider Kingdom, the Konoha ninja army would have been completely defeated at this time.

"Sunagakure retreats. Do you have anything to say about the upcoming war situation?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen broke the silence in the meeting tent with a deep voice.

"Hokage-sama, is it necessary to continue the war?"

The person who spoke was the last person in the big tent, named Yuhi Zhenhong, a genjutsu jounin. He led a ninja force of about 50 people in Konoha and was unknown.

The people in the meeting room were either powerful figures from various departments in Konoha, or they were from the great clans of the ninja world. They had already received detailed information about Konoha, and even orders from within the family.

Of course, characters like them would not make the first move in this situation. Yuhi Zhenhong only started talking at the request of someone.

He is also full of bitterness now. He can only say that he has given birth to a daughter that makes him worried, and he has no choice but to be involved in this incident that subverts the situation in Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's cold eyes were locked on Yuhi Mako, and he said angrily: "Sunagakure imposed the crime of the Kazekage's disappearance on my Konoha, started a war without authorization, and killed many ninjas in my Konoha! You tell me! If we don't avenge them, how can the loyal soul of Konoha rest in peace! How can the will of fire of Konoha be passed on to the children!"

A good performance. I want to use the dead to arouse hatred, and I want to use faith and children to rekindle the fighting spirit of the Konoha ninjas.

But he forgot that this was not the Konoha Ninja School. The people sitting below were all extraordinary strong men who had hardened themselves in battle after battle.

They all just looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen quietly, and none of them, including Yuhi Mahko, paid attention to his scolding, which was like lecturing a child.

"Lord Hokage, judging from the current situation, even if all the Spider Kingdom troops really return to their home country, with Sunagakure and Kirigakure united to look at each other, a protracted war is not a wise choice."

"Now, as long as we negotiate with one party and make peace, we can resolve the threat from the other party."

"According to reliable information, Kumogakure ninjas have also begun to gather troops to observe the secrets of their march. The authenticity of this information is almost certain."

The young commander-in-chief Nara Shikaku said with a serious expression.

"Uchiha Clan Leader, what's your opinion?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen is now in the same predicament as Goju Yagura.

It was an unavoidable fact that Konoha was defeated this time and there were countless casualties. Now he was inexplicably pushed to the forefront and demanded responsibility for the mistakes of this war.

If he doesn't want to take the blame and resign, he must fight a winning battle.

The Uchiha clan is the most warlike and meritorious, and Hiruzen Sarutobi just wanted to hear the intention of the main battle from Fugaku Uchiha.

But this time his plan was about to fail again.

"Lord Hokage, half of the Uchiha clan suffered casualties in the battle against Kirigakure. People in this clan also hope to rest and recuperate, and not to intensify the war."

Uchiha Fugaku is as calm as a mountain, neither humble nor arrogant, and has the confidence of a wealthy family.

He had not received any instructions from the clan elders for the time being, but the resentment in these words was not groundless.

On the Kirigakure battlefield, the Hyuga and Uchiha tribes were sent as the main combat forces to resist, and they were known as: Eye Technique restrained Kirigakure's Technique.

But the Sharingan is for observing details and cannot see through. Nearly 80% of the ninjas in the clan are ninjas who are proficient in fire escape.

On the Kirigakure battlefield, the Uchiha clan's fire escape was crazily restrained by Kirigakure's water escape. There was no need for others to cause trouble. The Uchiha clan, who were already dissatisfied with the Hokage lineage, had already paid their respects to the ancestors of Sarutobi Hiruzen. all over!

"I think the chaotic war situation in the Spider Kingdom is our opportunity to fish in troubled waters!"

"The Spider Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom are allies. The Spider Kingdom's border is in danger, and the Sunagakure ninjas will definitely be asked to assist!"

"And the place where Sunagakure is currently stationed is the border defense built by our Fire Nation. They will never be able to fully explore the tunnel secret door in it in a short time. We can sneak in late at night and catch them off guard!"

"The blood of Konoha ninja must not be shed in vain!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen swore passionately.

Not to mention, everyone present was really inspired by him. After all, the bloodshed and hatred in the war could never be eliminated so easily.

But Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato were not around, so no one took the initiative to fight.

Kato, who was sitting in the first place on the right side of Sarutobi Hiruzen, rolled his eyes and stood out from the crowd: "I will lead the ninjas to sneak into the border guard station. If I succeed, I will raise a fire as a signal, and everyone will work together to attack the city!"

Kato Dan has his own plan. Anyway, since he has the spiritual transformation technique in hand and does not need to fight with the physical body, there will not be too much danger.

The success rate of Sarutobi Hiruzen's strategy is not low. If he succeeds in one battle and reverses the situation of the battle, he Kato Danki will be the hero of Konoha, surpassing the majesty of Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato, master and disciple.

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still the Hokage. He was determined to continue the war and no one could stop him.

Uchiha Fugaku was the first to leave, followed by representatives of the Hyuga and Yamanaka clan troops.

"Shikaku, wait a minute."

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly stopped Nara Shikaku.

"What are your orders, Hokage-sama?"

Nara Shikaku bowed. Although he was asking, he already knew in his heart that Hiruzen Sarutobi had left the answer he wanted to know.
