I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

"I understand, Hokage-sama!"

Upon hearing this, Matt Kai nodded vigorously.

"As long as I live, the Sand Village's army will never be able to cross the border!"

He clenched his fists, his eyes blazing.

"Ah."

"The western border is counting on you."

After saying this, the highest leader of Konoha once again appointed his generals: "Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, and Yamanaka Inoichi."

"Lord Hokage, please give your orders."

Nara Shikaku, who was the mastermind behind the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and also served as a councilor of Konoha, responded.

"This time, the three of you will be fully in charge of the eastern war. You must drive out all the Hidden Mist ninjas who have set foot here!"

"Just now, the second line of defense has been breached."

"Therefore, your task is extremely difficult, but it must be completed!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice has a varied and rhythmic quality.

He announced the breach of the second line of defense in a low voice, and then immediately issued a do-or-die order in a high-spirited tone that it must be completed.

This meant the somber mood didn't linger for long.

And the fact that this news is being revealed now makes it easier for everyone to accept.

Because the Hokage's strategic planning and the attitude he displayed gave them a glimpse of an inevitable victory!

"Yes."

"We will not return until we win!"

Nara Shikaku replied, borrowing the words of the Hyuga clan leader beside him.

That deep and magnetic voice brought a sense of peace to everyone present.

With Nara around, no war is insurmountable!

After speaking, he immediately began to look at the topographical map in his hand.

The breach of the second line of defense not only reveals the enemy's formidable strength but also signifies that their previously devised countermeasures have been completely overturned.

Now, it seems there's no terrain left, no strategy left to use.

There is only one.

That means a head-on, fight to the death!!

"Chief of the Hyuga clan."

After stabilizing the overall situation and personnel allocation, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately looked at Hiashi Hyuga beside him.

"After the meeting, I will go to the Daimyo's residence with Danzo to report on the Kirigakure invasion. During this time, I will need you to stay in Konoha, as I am worried that other villains may take advantage of the situation to disrupt Konoha's internal affairs."

Upon hearing this, not only did Hiashi Hyuga's expression change slightly, but even the usually composed Danzo Shimura frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the arrangement.

'If you're going to report to that pampered, high-ranking official, then go ahead. Why drag me along?'

Of course, he absolutely could not voice such thoughts aloud.

but.

The old man became wary as soon as I made a slight move?

Thinking of this, a shadow of gloom appeared in his eyes.

In contrast, Hiashi Hyuga's feelings were somewhat complicated.

After all, he had just expressed his dissatisfaction, and although it was subtle, the Third Hokage's experience was enough to make it clear.

but.

But what about the other party?

He then handed over the safety of the entire Hidden Leaf Village to himself!

What does this mean?

It's trust!

The other party could have easily handed this responsibility over to Nara Shikaku, or one of the other clan elders.

Because it is obvious to anyone with eyes to see that when the second line of defense is gone, all plans will become weak. At this time, no matter which family head is sent to supervise the battle, they will face the most direct clash of forces.

But the Hokage still sent Shikaku there, leaving himself to guard Konoha...

"Yes."

"Even if I have these eyes blocked, I will not allow anything to go wrong in Konoha!"

Hiashi Hyuga responded with force and conviction.

Putting everything aside, even if the other party doesn't say anything, I will definitely protect this homeland!

"Ah."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly.

However, one of his ulterior motives was buried under this assignment.

That's Hinata's Byakugan.

Sending the head of the main family to the front lines would be a sure way to attract attention.

Even though Hiashi Hyuga is quite strong, the eastern border isn't that far from Kumogakure!

If those guys take advantage of the situation... no, remove the "if"!

They will definitely take advantage of the chaos!

Then the whole situation will become even worse.

Without the Hyuga Byakugan, even if Kumogakure wanted to get a share of the spoils, they would have to think carefully about who they would plunder.

After all, there are quite a few bloodline limits in Kirigakure!

Furthermore, a once-in-a-century [Corpse Bone Pulse] appeared on the battlefield.

This is enough to turn those greedy guys into our invisible 'allies'.

As for why not follow the example of Iwagakure and Sunagakure and send messengers to keep them in a neutral stance?

That's because the Hidden Cloud Village is very strong.

That hot-tempered Raikage would never listen to the opinions of a neighboring village 'Kage'.

Even if Kirigakure wanted to form an alliance, they would most likely only be turned away or simply be nurturing a tiger, going through the motions but not putting in any real effort.

Therefore, it's better to avoid trouble.

Moreover, Nara Shikaku also has the ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi mentioned it to the former again.

"Shikaku, if we achieve a great victory, and if the situation allows, Ao from Kirigakure will be your second target!"

"The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan has been out of reach for far too long."

At this point, his voice became lower.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Nara Shikaku naturally responded that he understood.

Indeed, the strategic significance of the Hyuga Byakugan is immense!

Without that eye, even if the entire Hidden Mist Village invaded, the Konoha garrison ninjas could have held them off for much longer by relying on the terrain and the traps they had built up over decades.

"Lord Hokage..."

Upon hearing this, Hiashi Hyuga's feelings became even more complicated.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but he didn't know how to express himself.

Although he knew that it would be very difficult for this Byakugan to return to the Hyuga clan.

However, speaking up or not speaking up, mentioning or not mentioning, these are two completely different attitudes!

"Ah."

Hiruzen Sarutobi clearly didn't want to say much about it, and simply hummed lightly before moving on from the topic.

His idea is also very simple.

Those whom Danzo desperately wanted to win over, he would hold tightly in his hands; those whom Danzo could easily offend or look down upon, he would also try to save face and show goodwill appropriately.

Anyway, he has a natural advantage.

Meanwhile, after fully deploying several key clan heads and elite ninjas, his attention turned to the last crucial point.

That's Uchiha Ara.

In the initial personnel selection, he deliberately skipped the Uchiha clan.

As Koharu Utatane said, apart from Ara Uchiha, there is really no one left in this clan!

As for the young faces who stepped onto the battlefield during World War II and World War III, it was entirely because the times were too cruel, and all races and forces suffered heavy losses, so they had to use human lives to fill the bottomless hole on the battlefield.

But it's different now.

Decades have allowed each family to recuperate and rebuild, during which time even more outstanding young generations have emerged. Such a foundation is fully capable of supporting a small-scale local battle.

"Clan Chief Ara, is the Uchiha clan really going to the eastern border as well?"

"Those kids are too young. Konoha doesn't need to send these juniors to the battlefield right now!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi has completely handed over the decision-making power to Ara.

And it wasn't entirely out of goodwill.

Rather, they wanted to take advantage of the situation to suppress the morale of this clan and this individual!

If Ara and the Uchiha clan don't go.
