Naruto's Journey to Training

Kakashi took the Third Hokage and fled all the way to the central capital of the Land of Fire. They found a simple tavern and sat down. At this time, they were both extremely silent.

In such a huge city like Konoha, they were the only two who could escape. At this moment, their mood was definitely not very good.

Kakashi glanced at Sarutobi, "Hokage-sama, what should we do now!"

Sarutobi looked at the passing crowd in confusion, with a hint of sadness and anger in his eyes.

"First, find the Daimyo and tell him about the destruction of Konoha, then find a way to contact Tsunade and Jiraiya!"

Sarutobi gritted his teeth and said that he had devoted almost all his efforts to Konoha, but he never expected that he would become a defeated Hokage in his later years.

How could he accept this? Just thinking about it, he didn't know how he would face his teacher in the underworld in the future.

"Yeah!" Kakashi nodded heavily, then raised his head and looked at Sarutobi in confusion, "Hokage-sama, I don't know why the Uchiha would betray the village!"

Sarutobi's face darkened, and then when he thought of the power displayed by the Uchiha clan, his heart felt like it was bleeding.

If he had known that the Uchiha clan was so powerful, how could he dare to force and suppress the Uchiha clan? It can only be said that Fugaku hid himself too well and had a too gloomy mind.

Suddenly, the village was dealt a fatal blow.

"Hey! It's all my fault. Ever since the Uchiha clan moved their land due to the village's development plan."

"Their clan has always believed that the village is suppressing them, which is why this tragedy happened!"

I have to say that Sarutobi is really good at shifting the blame, and he cleared himself of all blame with just a few words.

Kakashi felt a little sympathy for the ashamed old man in front of him.

"Hokage, it's useless to say these now. Let's go to the Daimyo's Mansion as soon as possible!" Kakashi comforted.

"Okay! Kakashi, thank you for your help!" Sarutobi said with a tired look on his face.

"Hokage-sama, this is all for the village!"

After saying that, the two of them couldn't wait to go to Daming Prefecture.

When the daimyo heard the news, he couldn't help but tremble. His own huge Konoha Village is gone!

The daimyo looked at the third generation with suspicion, and for a moment his eyes were full of disbelief.

After all, this is as ridiculous as telling him that the world will end tomorrow.

Seeing that the Daimyo didn't believe him, Sarutobi hurriedly explained, but the more he explained, the gloomier the Daimyo's face became. He was not a political novice like Kakashi.

"You mean the Nine-Tails rioted and the Uchiha rebelled against the village? If that's really what happened to Sarutobi, how can you be the Hokage?"

"I give you so much budget every year, and you give me such results!"

The famous one flew into a rage on the spot, almost pointing his finger at Sarutobi and calling him a piece of trash.

Not only can you not control the village's most powerful weapon, but even the largest family in the village wants to coup against you. Most importantly, you let them succeed. How fucking incompetent is that?

The Daimyo had never seen such a useless Hokage.

Sarutobi's face looked extremely ugly for a moment. After all, the daimyo had always been polite to him in the past.

But today, he was almost called a waste. How could he accept such a huge gap?

"Daimyo! Now is not the time to talk about this. We need to understand the current situation in Konoha!" Sarutobi quickly changed the subject.

The Daimyo slowly regained his composure and glanced at Sarutobi with a cold look.

"Go back to the reception desk first! I'll send someone to find out the truth!"

Seeing that the Daimyo ignored him so much, Sarutobi could only return to the simple reception desk unwillingly.

After much thought, he decided to let Kakashi quickly find the whereabouts of Tsunade and Jiraiya.

Now he had to quickly think of a way to take back the village, otherwise he didn't know how the Uchiha would destroy the village.

At the same time, in the Akatsuki organization, Black Zetsu has been waiting for Obito to come back, but two days have passed and there is still no sign of Obito.

For a moment, he felt a little bad.

Unable to stay any longer, he immediately sent a large number of White Zetsu to Konoha to gather information.

As time goes by, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

Soon, the strange situation in Konoha spread to the entire ninja world.

The leaders of various countries looked at the intelligence in their hands with puzzled expressions for a moment.

After all, a shadow from a village was driven out by the big clan in his own village. This was something they could not understand no matter how they looked at it.

But soon they were no longer in the mood to study this.

Because the first invasion of the Empire has begun.

At this time, the Empire's 10,000-strong ninja army rushed directly into the territory of the Water Country and launched a large-scale invasion of the Water Country without any warning in just three days.

The small countries near the Water Kingdom fell one after another, including the Water Kingdom itself, which lost a small half of its territory.

The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, looked at the urgent military information that kept coming back from the front lines and felt a little confused for a moment.

He didn't understand whether Konoha had gone crazy. It suddenly launched an undeclared war, leaving no grass growing wherever it went, and carried out large-scale massacres again and again.

Looking at the shocking death toll reported in the intelligence.

Her hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"No, we can't let Konoha go crazy like this anymore, contact the other three countries immediately!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a Mist Ninja rushed in in panic.

"Oh no, Mizu... Mizukage-sama, Konoha... Konoha has already breached the Daimyo of the Land of Water, and a large force is heading towards our Hidden Mist Village!"

The Mist Ninja was holding the information tremblingly, his eyes filled with panic.

"What!" Mei Terumi was shocked. She didn't believe it at first, so she snatched the information from the intelligence ninja and looked at it carefully.

"How could it be! How could it be! How could they be so fast!" Mei Terumi looked extremely horrified.

"Lord Mizukage! The ninjas of Konoha are still a hundred kilometers away from our village. Let's quickly arrange for the village to launch an all-out war!"

Qing, with one eye covered with a black eyepatch, suddenly rushed into the Mizukage's office and urged.

"That's right! Hurry, tell everyone in the village to prepare for battle!" Mei Terumi suppressed the fear in her heart and ordered loudly.

At this time, the Empire's mechanical forces had actually advanced to 20 kilometers away from the Hidden Mist Village.

This time, the Empire equipped the frontline fighters with almost all of its newly developed mechanical weapons.

The purpose is to launch a blitzkrieg against the Water Kingdom.

Various large locomotives powered by chakra are pulling groups of ninjas towards the Hidden Mist Village at a rapid speed.

The roaring mechanical engine demonstrated its terrifying transportation capacity and speed for the first time in this extremely backward era.

Super chakra cannons were fired one after another, requiring absolutely no manpower at all. With the presence of ninjas, they were able to cut through mountains and build bridges over rivers. The speed was just like driving on a flat road.

Just as the Hidden Mist Village was preparing for war.

The Imperial vanguard had already stopped in position for the best shooting.

The ninjas of the entire mechanized force quickly jumped off the vehicle, manipulated the ninjutsu, and set up the cannons neatly.

I saw a dozen or so Imperial Ninjas carrying black leather bags quickly taking off the backpacks behind them.

He quickly opened it, took out a long black tube and a pair of glasses that flashed red light, and quickly put them on.

Then he took out a military green handle and a black and white iron ball and threw them into the sky.

A small propeller instantly appeared on the top of the iron ball, and a circular camera hole appeared below.

The propeller spun rapidly, making a low humming sound, and flew towards the Hidden Mist Village.

Yamanaka Shikaichi looked at the operators, completely released all the reconnaissance drones, and shouted to the ninja troops behind him, "Finally check the chakra cannon!"

"Yes! Major General Yamanaka!" a ninja responded.

Today, as the empire's army continues to expand, it no longer uses restrictive titles such as Konoha's captain.

Instead, they directly used regular military titles such as second lieutenant, first lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, major general, lieutenant general, and general.

The reason why there is no title above the general is because the general is already the one who leads an army alone, and above him is the one who commands all the military forces of the empire.

And there can be only one such person in an empire, and that is the great emperor.

After all, now that the Empire has unified the ninja world, the number of troops alone has exceeded 500,000, divided into five major military regions.

It would be ridiculous to call someone who leads tens of thousands of ninja troops at once a captain.

However, the highest-ranking official in the entire army now is only lieutenant general, and there is no general.

At least before the new generation grows up, the empire does not have anyone with both the strength and military proficiency required of a general.

Generally, when there are major battles, the 12th Division will be in direct command.

One of the Twelve Jinwu Guards will concurrently serve as the general.

At this time, as the situation of the Hidden Mist Village was reported back, Yamanaka Shikaichi also narrowed his eyes. This was the second time he commanded such a grand war.

Originally, he was the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Capital Guard.

However, some major generals who were able to command the battle this time, and the only two remaining lieutenant generals, Tsunade and Jiraiya, were not on the list of personnel to be destroyed in the main world.

Therefore, relying on his previous experience in commanding large-scale operations, he was quickly promoted to the position of major general in the military.

"Calibrate the position! Prepare for fire coverage!"

"Yes! Major General Yamanaka!"

"Position report, due south, 20 kilometers, muzzle angle tilted 90 degrees, wind speed low, position report completed!"

A group of six gunners immediately began to correct the firing direction of the gun muzzle based on the observer's report, amid a sound of mechanical friction.

The chakra cannons that had been lengthened and improved had their four huge supporting legs firmly stuck into the soil. After the final debugging by professional military forces, they were aimed in the direction of the Hidden Mist Village.

After a long time, a yellow flag was waved down.

"fire!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Huge flames burst out from the muzzles of hundreds of cannons. A terrifying air wave shook the surrounding land, bringing up piece after piece of fresh soil.

Hundreds of shells streaked across the sky like meteors, shooting towards the Hidden Mist Village with destruction.
