Mo Congfeng left a shadow clone here to guard against the subsequent tricks of the Kirigakure ninjas. All matters here were temporarily handed over to Shina Tohiko and Hyuga Hizashi to deal with on a case-by-case basis.

He took Aburame Shiguro and some of the Konoha ninjas he brought with him, a total of about 300 people. They will return to Konoha to provide support for the battle on Mount Kikyo that has lasted for more than two months.

Mo Congfeng estimated that the battle of Mount Kikyo, which lasted for more than two months, would be extremely brutal. His disciples and children had just become ninjas and could not help much. Mo Congfeng left them all on the coast of the Land of Fire, under the care of Shina Touhiko, where they could get training without having to worry about danger.

Half a month later, when Mo Congfeng led the ninjas back to Konoha, he saw that the faces of the Konoha residents were all filled with panic.

Mo Congfeng's return undoubtedly brought them hope. Konoha had gained an advantage in at least one direction of the battle and was able to draw strength to fight against the enemy that was close at hand.

After ordering the Konoha ninjas to take a temporary break, Mo Congfeng and Aburame Shiguro went to the Hokage Building and met with Utane Koharu, the elder in charge of logistics.

Utatane Koharu was very happy about Mo Congfeng's return. Mo Congfeng briefly reported the battle with the Kirigakure ninjas and asked about the specific situation of the battle of Mount Kikyo.

"Hiruzen's plan to quickly repel the enemy coalition by gathering top combat forces has failed. The enemy has gathered many strong men, and their numbers are not inferior to ours.

Now near Mount Kikyo, not only are the powerful men from the Sand Village present, but the Third Mizukage, the Master, and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki of the Kirigakure have all arrived, and the Iwagakure has also sent the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and other powerful men.

Some ninjas even tried to bypass the Kikyo Mountain defense line and directly destroy Konoha. Fortunately, Jiraiya and Orochimaru returned in time to stop them.

Today, the Battle of Mount Kikyo has turned into a war of attrition. After all, with such a long line of defense, it is impossible to effectively block the enemy coalition by relying solely on top combat power. Therefore, a large number of Chunin and Genin are needed to fill the front line.

During this period of time, the loss of Chunin and Genin was very large. The village had already re-recruited former ninjas who had given up their ninja identities due to injuries. It also relaxed the graduation requirements for the ninja school, forcing children of appropriate age in the ninja school to take the graduation examination and allow those children to become Genin.

However, because we in Konoha have to face so many battlefields, we are still clearly short of manpower.

Hey, there are even rumors that Kumogakure might even send ninjas to join the Iwagakure, Sandagakure, and Mistagakure coalition forces at the foot of Mount Kikyo…”

Mo Congfeng didn't remember what Utatane Koharu said next. He just felt that the bottom line of the ninja world was once again refreshed in front of him. Mo Congfeng thought that he had become accustomed to the life of a ninja and the cruelty of the ninja world, but he still didn't expect that these ninjas would not let go even children of that age.

Relaxing the graduation requirements of the Ninja School and forcing all children of school age to take the graduation exam, what does this really mean? This is forcing children who are not qualified to become ninjas into a dead end!

Mo Congfeng felt somewhat fortunate that Nijo, Achun, and Axia had given up studying in the Ninja School early on, otherwise, children like them who had almost no ninja talent would have been sent to the battlefield of Kikyo Mountain.

Nijo and others entered the Ninja School too late. They were much older than their classmates. So how young could they be to be forcibly sent to Mount Kikyo and forced to fight, or even to die?

If those children were born in the ninja clan, it would be fine. The ninja clan would provide them with protection and self-defense capabilities. If they were born in civilian families, what ninjutsu could they learn? Their value and role was to be a mobile beacon to the senior ninjas to convey the enemy's invasion defense line.

Mo Congfeng couldn't think about it any more, and finally left the Hokage office building in a trance.

Mo Congfeng only rested for one night and was sent to Kikyo Mountain the next day, where he would obey the unified command of the Third Hokage.

Mo Congfeng was not in a hurry to meet the Third Hokage immediately. He climbed up the mountain slowly and observed the situation on Mount Kikyo.

A slightly layered linear defense array was placed in front of Mo Congfeng. The entire defense line looked dull. Even with his shallow military knowledge, Mo Congfeng could feel that the person who formulated such a defense strategy was a fool who knew nothing about military affairs.

Mo Congfeng had seen fierce fighting on the Korean battlefield. Such a linear defense strategy was a stupid approach that should not be adopted. The correct defense strategy should be to construct flexible and mobile defense nodes that can support each other and use defense nodes to block and suppress the enemy's attack.

Of course, this may also be related to the way these ninjas imagine fighting. They don't care about the life and death of consumables, nor do they really care about the value of ordinary chunin and genin.

As long as we win at the top combat power level, everything is worth it and all sacrifices are valuable.

The role of consumables is to use life to warn the strong and to use life to save the energy of the top combat forces.

Deep inside Mo Congfeng's angry heart there was a glimmer of hope. Fortunately, he was not one of the consumables and was not a weakling like them.

Of course, we cannot let ourselves and the people we care about face such a tragic predicament one day in the future, and we cannot let the Ming Dynasty ever suffer such a tragic fate.

Mo Congfeng finally arrived in front of the castle, where the Third Hokage and Konoha's masters were.

Danzo Shimura appeared first, his face looked very unhappy. After this Ninja World War, he had completely lost the chance to become Hokage.

Mo Congfeng was about to suppress his displeasure and go forward to say hello, when a masked ANBU ninja in black clothes appeared in time, "Master Congfeng, the Third Hokage is waiting for you? Please follow me!"

Mo Congfeng breathed a sigh of relief and could only nod to Danzo Shimura and follow the Anbu ninja into the stone fortress.

The Third Hokage was wearing dark red armor, as if he had regained his youth. Orochimaru and Jiraiya stood on his left and right, seemingly staring at a sand table carefully.

After Mo Congfeng entered, everyone's eyes immediately focused on him.

"Look, our hero is back. He led the Konoha ninja to defeat the Kirigakure army and brought precious reinforcements." The Third Hokage smiled happily, walked over and patted Mo Congfeng on the shoulder, then whispered to Mo Congfeng, "Konoha White Fang has a successor, you really didn't let Hatake Sakumo down."

Mo Congfeng froze slightly when he heard the name. Before Hatake Sakumo committed suicide, the person he saw was the respectable Third Hokage in front of him. His attitude was crucial to Hatake Sakumo's death.
