Naruto: Hundred Flowers Niandi

Returning to the Southwest Border General Post, after examination and treatment by several medical ninjas, Nara Shikaku's injuries were effectively controlled.

However, the medical conditions here are always limited. Although the trauma has healed, the injuries on the bones still need to be returned to the village for treatment, especially the position of the forehead and skull, which almost injured the brain. At least it will take a period of rest to fully recover.

Moreover, although something unexpected happened, Shikaku's team's patrol mission was finally completed successfully, and they still had to return to the village to recover.

The war is about to begin, and the war machine of Konoha will soon be in operation. As part of this machine, they will naturally be used.

Therefore, the three of them waved goodbye to everyone in the main post without staying any longer, and set off on their way back to the village amidst the surprised looks that everyone frequently cast on Chiba Mai.

"I don't know where Akai has gone," Nara Shikaku thought to himself as he looked at the road ahead.

The earlier the news of the Sand Ninja's invasion is conveyed to the third generation, the more advantageous it will be for Konoha. If Konoha reacts immediately enough, it can even get rid of the passive war situation and block the Sand Ninja army at the border of the Land of Fire. outside.

"Whether Konoha can take the lead in the next head-on war with the Suna Ninja depends on you, Kai."

At this time, Metkai, who was still running wildly on the road, had already set off for nearly two hours, and sprinting at full speed consumed a lot of energy.

"It's almost time. Close the door and open it."

When the sleep door opened, Metkai felt that all the fatigue on his body had been swept away, but he knew that this was an overload of squeezing the body's energy to restore his physical strength, so when the state ended, what awaited him would be doubly exhausted.

But until then, he just had to run as hard as he could.

Another hour or so passed, and even with Metkai's body, which had been undergoing strenuous exercise since childhood, it was already close to its limit.

At this time, he was panting like an ox, sweating profusely, covered in dust, and his body was covered with blood marks scratched by branches and grass. Even the neat and shiny watermelon head in the past became messy.

Fortunately, he had already seen the gate of Konoha from a distance.

"Who?" The Konoha security team responsible for guarding the gate had already seen the dusty Metkai in the distance, and stepped forward to stop him when he approached.

"Nara Shikaku squad chunin Maimetkai, we have urgent military information to report to the Third Hokage, the Third Hokage." Metkai put his hands on his knees and panted, saying intermittently.

The two Konoha security guards guarding the "Military Intelligence" looked at each other and their expressions changed.

"You stay here, I will take him to see the Hokage." After thinking for a while, one of them said to the other.

"follow me"

Konoha Hokage Office.

The Third Hokage was immersed in documents. He had just put the documents aside, stretched his waist, took out his pipe and was about to light a cigarette, when there was a rapid knock on the door.

"dong dong dong dong"

"Come in" the Third Hokage stopped, put out the match, put down the unlit pipe, and shouted towards the door.

"click"

The door was hurriedly opened, and then a green-skinned watermelon head, panting and sweating profusely, rushed in.

"Sir Hokage, this person claims to have an urgent military report." The security team member who came in behind Metkai bowed and said.

"Military Intelligence" The Third Hokage's expression changed slightly, he waved to the man and said, "I understand, you can go out first."

The door was closed from the outside. The Third Hokage helped Metkai, who was half kneeling on the ground and panting, and asked patiently:

"I remember you are from Team Shikaku, don't worry. Take a breath and explain everything clearly. What happened?"

"That's it, Hokage-sama." Metkai tried his best to calm his rapid breathing, and then said after his breath stabilized slightly:

"While our team was conducting patrols in the southernmost area of ​​the southwest border, we discovered that an elite team of fifteen jounin had crossed over from the Kingdom of Kawa and invaded the border of the Kingdom of Fire.

According to Mr. Shikaku's judgment, the opponent's identity was a Suna ninja. His purpose was probably to create chaos in the hinterland of the Land of Fire and create a favorable situation for the subsequent large-scale frontal attack.

So, Teacher Shikaku asked us to divide our troops into three groups. I would bring the news back to Konoha so that the Third Generation could respond early, and Asuma went to the southwest border general post to seek nearby support.

As for Shikaku-sensei and Mayi,

Speaking of this, Metkai's tone was a little low: "The Suna ninja team was responsible for holding back the invasion as much as possible. It took me nearly three hours to get back to Konoha. I don't know what the situation is at the border now."

The Third Hokage's face grew heavier as he listened. He knew that Nara Shikaku would not let his subordinates pass the news back all the way if he was not sure. He also believed in Nara Shikaku's judgment. There were rumors that the Third Kazekage was missing some time ago.

But, is war coming again in just a few years?

"come"

As soon as the Third Hokage finished speaking, a half-kneeling figure wearing a mask suddenly appeared in front of the desk.

"Go and notify some elders and advisors and ask them to come to the conference room."

"Also, call Orochimaru and Jiraiya, and inform all the jounin and chuunin who are still in the village to gather together and enter combat readiness immediately."

"It's the Third Generation," the ANBU who was half-kneeling on the ground was shocked. He quickly responded in a low voice, and then disappeared.

"Your name is Akai, right?" After sending someone to inform the relevant personnel, the Third Hokage turned and looked at the scarred Metkai, and encouraged: "It's a good job to bring such important news back from the border in such a short time. Thank you for your hard work. "

"I'm just running all the way," Metkai wiped the sweat from his face, unable to conceal his worry in his tone: "But Mr. Shikaku and Maki..."

"We must always believe in our companions." Before Metkai could finish speaking, the Third Hokage interrupted him directly: "We must have faith in them and never give up hope until the last moment."

Seeing Metkai's slightly improved mood, the Third Hokage turned around and looked out the window, sighing secretly: The two of them faced off against an elite team of 15 people.

Just 5 minutes later, the conference room was filled with Konoha's senior management and strategic staff members with decision-making power. Even Jiraiya, who was usually quiet, after hearing the words "military information" and "war", he also Came over immediately.

At this moment, the Third Hokage was telling everyone the news that Metkai had brought back. Listening to the information in the Third Hokage's words, everyone's expressions became more and more serious.

War is really coming
