Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

On this day, Dihuang Wan was busy with his work in the kitchen as usual, and he heard the chattering of the people who came to pick up their meals!

"Have you heard? The Second Ninja World War has broken out!"

"I heard it! Many ninjas from our Terumi clan have been transferred to the expeditionary force!"

"I heard that it was the leader of the Rain Country who took the initiative to declare war! Isn't the Rain Country a small country? Do they have the strength to challenge the big ninja village?"

"Who knows? I just went out to buy supplies in the village this morning. Maybe it's because a large number of ninjas were called out to participate in the war. Now the atmosphere in the village is not so depressing!"

Listening to the discussions of several people, Dihuangwan also learned the news that Salamander Hanzo had officially declared war. As he had anticipated everything, he did not show any fluctuation on the surface!

Let's turn our attention back to Konoha. Now that World War II has officially broken out, Konoha Village has suspended all ordinary tasks, and almost all ninjas have been incorporated into combat forces. Konoha is facing the situation of fighting on four fronts!

The western front is against the Sand Village, and the commander is Hatake Sakumo! The northern front is against Iwagakure, Amegakure, and part of the Sand Village, and the commander is Shimura Danzo. In addition, the three disciples of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen are also on the northern battlefield! The eastern front is against the Kirigakure, and the commander is the current Uchiha clan leader! The northeastern front is against the Kumogakure, and the commander is Akimichi Tofu!

Because the preliminary preparations were quite thorough, Konoha, as the strongest ninja village, was not at all at a disadvantage in a one-on-four situation!

Several of Dihuangwan's friends, Inuzuka Ya is fighting on the northeastern front! Kurama Feiyun is still in Konoha Hospital, treating the seriously injured! Might Dai is fighting on the eastern front! Anima and Okamura Taro are fighting on the western front! On the contrary, Maruboshi Kosuke, who is a Genin on the surface, is fighting on the most dangerous northern front!

At night, Dihuangwan used the gas perception technique to check the entire Mist Village. Except for the Mizukage Building which was brightly lit and the clan territories of several large ninja clans where the alert was increased, the alert level in other places dropped significantly due to the withdrawal of too many ninjas!

This allows Dihuang Wan to focus on monitoring these target locations every day!

Inside the Mizukage Building, the Third Mizukage and members of his think tank were meeting in the conference room.

"Everyone, the latest battle report has arrived. The war has just started, and the villages are currently in the stage of small-scale hand-to-hand combat. The two battlefields opened up by my Kirigakure are currently at a controllable level of combat! However, Konoha has already started a real fight with Amegakure and Iwagakure in the Rain Country, and the battle is fierce!" The Third Mizukage said to everyone.

"Lord Sandaime, I think we should contact the Sand Village and launch an all-out attack on Konoha at the same time! In this way, Konoha will face tremendous pressure on three fronts. I believe that by then our old rivals, the Cloud Village, those fence-sitters! will also join the all-out combat against Konoha. By then, Konoha will be skinned alive if it doesn't die, and the fat meat of the Fire Country will definitely be eaten by us, the Kirigakure!" said a think tank.

This plan was approved by the vast majority of people! The Third Mizukage immediately arranged for his direct subordinates to secretly go to the Kingdom of Wind with documents to discuss cooperation with the Sand Village.

Dihuangwan sighed after receiving the news. The location of Konoha meant that it was destined to face the situation of being attacked from all sides in every war!

"The Kirigakure plans to join forces with the Sunagakure to launch a full-scale war against Konoha on both the western and eastern fronts!"

The latest piece of information was sent to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who sighed deeply, "Sure enough, these bastards will collude for profit! We can't let them succeed, otherwise, Konoha will face too much pressure! It is very likely to collapse across the board!"

After thinking for a night, Sarutobi Hiruzen issued an order, asking Hatake Sakumo to turn defense into offense and take the initiative to attack the Sand Village troops!

Sure enough, Sarutobi Hiruzen's order worked. The Sand Village didn't expect that Konoha would dare to take the initiative to attack despite fighting on multiple fronts! Being caught off guard, the son and daughter-in-law of Sand Village advisor Chiyo Elder, that is, the parents of the Red Sand Scorpion, were killed on the spot by Hatake Sakumo! The Sand Village troops suffered heavy losses, and it was difficult to launch a full-scale attack on Konoha in a short time!

This made the Kirigakure Village, who got the news, jump up in anger! The Third Mizukage even cursed the Sand Village in the conference room as a bunch of wastes who missed the opportunity to fight!

At the same time, the Hidden Cloud Village received the news and played the role of the Sixth Brother, constantly harassing the Hidden Cloud Village, Konoha, and the Hidden Mist Village, carrying out guerrilla warfare and causing sabotage everywhere, reaping the benefits and making the three forces extremely hateful!

But they could not do anything to Yunyin, because the large forces of several forces were on the battlefield around the Fire Country. For the time being, they could only keep the actions of the Sixth Old Man of Yunyin in mind!

"Damn you Kumogakure, just wait for me. When I get some time off, I'm not done with you!" The Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki was getting angry in his own Tsuchikage office.

Just now, Yunyin attacked Yanyin's grain and grass troops in Long Country, causing a large loss of supplies! This ruined Yanyin's plan to raid the border of Fire Country from Long Country!

At the same time, the Kirigakure's transit point in the Land of Hot Springs was also attacked by the Kumogakure, suffering heavy losses, even greater than the losses on the Konoha battlefield. This made the Third Mizukage furious, and he launched a war against the Kumogakure!

The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. The various forces that were about to form an alliance a moment ago have become enemies in the blink of an eye. The entire ninja world has become a mess!

Except for the permanently neutral Iron Country, the Iron Country has also strengthened its defenses to prevent the various forces from getting red-eyed and spreading the war to the Iron Country!

For Konoha at this moment, the more chaotic the ninja world is, the more beneficial it is to Konoha. Konoha's biggest difficulty now is that it is deeply trapped in the battlefield of the Rain Country and cannot extricate itself. Salamander Hanzo is indeed strong enough, and no one on Konoha can match him. In the face of strength, the conspiracy and tricks of Shimura Danzo, the commander-in-chief of the northern line, have little effect!

At this time, it was not yet the time for the famous battle between the three ninjas and Hanzo of the Salamander! When the famous battle between the three ninjas came, it was the time for Konoha to turn things around in the battlefield of the Rain Country!

Three months later, Dihuangmaru received his first active contact from Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Yu, now that Konoha has gone to war, your value in Kirigakure is no longer high. Konoha's battlefield needs your strength. You must find a way to get out as soon as possible within two months, return to Konoha Village, and complete your undercover mission!"

After reading the news delivered by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Dihuangwan took a deep breath, "I am finally going back! Everyone, it's been almost three and a half years! I miss you so much!"

"Brother Xin! Brother Xin! I have finished my practice, please grill two skewers of fish for me!" A soft and excited voice came, and then rushed into Dihuang Wan's room!

"Miss, don't worry, I'll do it for you right away! Miss, you have worked hard in your practice! Take a rest soon!" Dihuang Wan walked over and rubbed Terumi Mei's head, saying lovingly.

After a while, the little cutie Terumi Mei had already eaten the grilled fish she had been craving for. While eating, she shared her cultivation progress with Dihuang Wan!

"Brother Xin, I have learned ninjutsu! Water Style Waterfall Technique!" Mei Terumi said happily.

"Wow! You are worthy of being a young lady! You are just over three years old, but you can already perform ninjutsu! You know, many ninjas can only learn it after they go to school after the age of six! Young lady will definitely become a super ninja in the future!" Dihuangwan said.

Comparing myself with Mei Ming’s talent, I was truly amazed!

"Brother Xin, in two months, I will be turning four years old! What birthday present will Brother Xin give me?!" Mei Terumi looked at Dihuang Wan with anticipation.

Dihuang Wan was stunned. Is it the fourth birthday? ! There are still two months! Dihuang Wan was silent!

"Brother Xin, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you talking? Don't you want to celebrate Ming's birthday?" Mei Terumi looked at Dihuang Wan aggrievedly, her mouth pouted, and she was about to cry!

"No, no! Little princess, I'm just thinking about what gift to give to my little princess!" Dihuang Wan coaxed hurriedly!

"Yeah! I was so scared! I thought Brother Nobu didn't want to celebrate my birthday! He didn't like me anymore!" Mei Terumi breathed a sigh of relief.

Dihuang Wan touched Terumime Mei’s head and smiled helplessly.

"I really don't want to celebrate your birthday! Because I don't know how to face you when I'm gone! But Brother Xin likes you very much!"

No, it’s Brother Dihuangwan who likes you very much!
