Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swordsmen Begins from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Chapter 28: Vortex Deadlock
Sarutobi Hiruzen left the Root base to cooperate with the arrangements, and secretly mobilized the senior ninjas in the family and some trusted Anbu ninjas to go to the Root of Shimura Danzo.

Danzo Shimura also brought out all the ninjas who had reached the level of Jonin from his family, plus the elites he had trained and recruited with the help of the Root, a total of hundreds of people.

The key to this operation is concealment. It will be difficult to hide with too many people, and a hundred people are already the limit.

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen also forged some information and summoned the chiefs of the major ninja clans to a meeting.

"Everyone take a look at this information first."

After everyone arrived, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked the Anbu ninja to distribute the information they had created.

As they looked through the intelligence they had obtained, their expressions became serious.

"A large number of ninja traces have been found on several borders. Have they joined forces?"

The Senju clan leader put down the information and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen solemnly.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was also very serious. Although some of the information was false, there was also a lot of truth in it.

The four major ninja villages have long been prepared to start a war, and Konoha will be the main target of attack, just like the last Ninja World War.

After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's response, everyone fell silent.

They really don't like war because it involves death. Even if most of the dead are civilians, their ninja clan will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

But at this time, the other party had already started to mobilize troops, and they had to take action to respond.

"We must not allow the war to spread to the Land of Fire. We must stop the enemy outside, otherwise we will have a hard time explaining to the Daimyo."

Seeing that no one spoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen made a hard target for the next war strategy, that they must not be defeated by the enemy.

No one had any objection to this, and no one could say anything. This was the meaning of the existence of the ninja village. It was decided when the one-village-one-country ninja village system was established, and no one could change it.

"Next, we need to make combat arrangements. We need to send elite troops to the front line as quickly as possible to occupy advantageous terrain and establish a defense line to prevent the enemy from advancing into the Land of Fire, while buying time for our ninja army to reach the front line.

The battle with the Land of Earth will probably be in the Land of Rain and the Land of Grass, which are suitable for the Senju clan, who are mainly based on earth and water attributes. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued speaking, his eyes falling on the Senju clan leader.

The Senju clan leader did not refuse and nodded.

Although the opponent is a large ninja village, the Senju clan has nothing to fear if they start a war in such a place, not to mention that their mother is there.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the Uchiha clan leader and continued, "The second is the direction of the Hidden Cloud Village. The ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village are good at ninjutsu, especially the lightning-style ninjutsu, which is very fast. The Uchiha Sharingan can restrain it to a large extent."

The Uchiha clan leader nodded to Sarutobi Hiruzen to take over. It was indeed most appropriate for them to fight against the Cloud Ninjas who were proficient in ninjutsu. There was nothing to say about that.

Then he looked at the Hyuga clan leader, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued, "The second is the battlefield in the direction of the Hidden Mist Village. Their best attack method is assassination under the cover of the Hidden Mist technique. The Hyuga clan's Byakugan can restrain and target them very well. In addition, for the sake of war, Hyuga ninjas need to be assigned to other fronts to assist."

The Hyuga clan leader nodded and accepted the task.

"The Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan will block the front line in the direction of the Sand Village. In addition, different numbers of ninja troops will be dispatched to support each front line according to the needs of the battle."

Sarutobi Hiruzen finally took over the Sand Village on behalf of the Sarutobi family and the Shimura clan. As the Hokage, he had to set an example. If he didn't send anyone, the ninja clans would not agree.

Sure enough, when they saw Sarutobi Hiruzen finally asking the Sarutobi clan to go into battle, the clan leaders' expressions softened a little.

I'm really worried that the Sarutobi family will stay in the back and not send anyone out. That would be really disgusting, and their thoughts wouldn't be wise either.

……

After the heads of each ninja clan went back to hold a clan meeting to discuss some things, they began to prepare supplies. The next day, the elite members of the clan set out to various borders to set up defense lines.

Now the war has not officially started, they mainly go there to occupy some dangerous terrain, build defense lines, and clean up the spies that have infiltrated the other side, so the danger is not great. This is also the main reason why the major ninja clans readily agreed, and the village will send a large force to follow up later, not to let them fight against the major ninja villages alone.

They couldn't take the initiative to attack, but simply defending was much easier.

This wave of commotion in Konoha alerted the entire ninja world, and the four major ninja villages were even more confused.

"What the hell is Konoha doing?"

In the meeting hall of the Tsuchikage building in the Iwagakure Village, everyone was very confused about this. Although they had sent troops to approach the Fire Country to contain Konoha and prepare for the plan to attack the Whirlpool Country, this had not yet begun.

"Perhaps our plan for the Uzumaki clan has been exposed."

Ohnoki said after thinking for a long time, with some guesses in his mind.

"But if we are exposed, shouldn't Konoha concentrate its forces in the Land of Whirlpools to fight against us? Konoha and the Hidden Uzushio Village have been allies for many years, and the wife of the first Hokage is from the Uzumaki clan."

Zi didn't understand this and didn't agree with Oonoki's guess.

Ohnoki didn't bother to pay attention to the idiot. He glanced at everyone present and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid there will be changes in the war in the Land of Whirlpools this time. Konoha may be our enemy, or it may be our friend. You can react accordingly according to the specific situation."

At the end he looked at the middle-aged man on his left, who was also one of his most trusted confidants and the commander of this war in the Whirlpool Country.

"Yes, Tsuchikage-sama, I understand."

Xi Siren reacted and quickly stood up and responded with a smile on his face.

What a surprise!
Several people present also reacted and all smiled.

"It seems that our strongest Hokage is having a hard time in Konoha!"

"What the heck is the strongest? The three generations of the five major ninja villages are the strongest of all time. It's just that Sarutobi Hiruzen's claim to be the strongest is just a lie."

"No wonder they sent the Senju clan to our side. We are indeed quite far away from the Whirlpool Country. Even if the Senju clan wants to come over to support us, it will be too late."

……

Several people were laughing, with mockery on their faces. What a good Hokage!
"Zi, follow me just in case."

Ohnoki remained calm and looked at Yukari after thinking for a while. Although he looked down on this guy's brain, his strength was very strong.

Although the seal of the tailed beast is not perfect, he can already control it well. He also uses the chakra of the four-tailed beast to fuse his own Lava Release. If he does not use Dust Release, he cannot beat the current Yukari. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the second strongest person in the village.

With Zi there to take charge, he would feel more at ease.

Although Zi was still confused, she could only nod in response when she saw Oonoki giving the order.

Although he doesn't like Oonoki's ideas, he also loves the village, and the Whirlpool Country plan is also related to him.

If he could obtain a stronger and more suitable sealing technique, he would be able to better suppress the Four-Tails.

That big guy is not easy to get along with. If you are not careful, you will be corroded by his chakra and lose control, causing considerable losses to the village every time.

The Sand Village and the Mist Village also made the same arrangements and increased their investment in the war in the Land of Whirlpools.

Although it was just a guess, it was better to believe it than not. They had to obtain the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique, so that they could create a perfect Jinchūriki like the first Hokage's wife, who could perfectly control the power of the tailed beasts.

Konoha already has a perfect Jinchūriki, and the strongest Kyuubi, so they must also have a perfect Jinchūriki of their own.
