Especially when they heard about Danzo's stronghold and the Hokage Building at the end, they finally understood why their old friend, who had always been assertive and aggressive towards Uchiha Ara, had become silent and even a complete listener today.

With the Mangekyou Sharingan useless, the power of the Root organization almost reduced to zero, and his left and right hands dispatched from the village, Danzo felt powerless.

If you look closely, aside from the Ninja Academy and Konoha Hospital, that little guy has been close to every facility that is very important to Konoha.

Such an attitude, such blatant blatantness, instills both fear and helplessness.

After all, Ara is not Fugaku, so normal means and negotiations are not possible. Furthermore, Shisui's Body Flicker Technique allows him to move freely in and out of the village!

Once things get out of hand, there's no need for a direct confrontation. They can simply use their Body Flicker Technique to destroy the aforementioned structures, which will bring immense chaos to Konoha and create opportunities for external forces to exploit.

Koharu Utatane sat down in a daze, and Homura Mitokado also fell silent.

They weren't really stupid; they had simply been too complacent and too confident in Konoha's strength for too long, thus losing their initial vigilance and sense of crisis.

Now, as these two revert to their old wartime stance, they can immediately discern the terrifying consequences of a direct confrontation.

That is a price that Konoha can hardly afford now.

"Damn Shisui."

All the hesitation and fear involved ultimately culminated in a resentful curse from Koharu Tsutomu.

If Uchiha Shisui hadn't taught them the elusive "Body Flicker Technique," then their side would still have had the possibility of wiping out Uchiha Ara from the village at a small cost.

"Your plan can be moved forward more quickly."

"Also, keep an eye on Naruto Uzumaki. If things get really bad, just hand him over to me to deal with."

Danzo Shimura finally spoke, his single eye radiating a terrifying aura, and his first words were a demand for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

This was the only force he could think of that could quickly become a deterrent and a trump card when his two capable generals, Yamanaka Kaze and Aburame Torune, were not by his side.

He firmly believed that if Sand Village could do it, he could do it too!

"I've already followed up with them today, and I believe we'll receive news soon."

"This battlefield must not be held in Konoha."

The third generation did not answer the old fox's thirst for knowledge.

Because he clearly knew that handing Naruto over to the other party might give Konoha a stronger deterrent.

But it also pushed that little guy into an abyss from which there was no return.

He didn't want it to be like this.

Besides worrying that Danzo's power would become uncontrollable, another reason was that he had promised Kushina to take good care of Naruto.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's refusal to discuss the matter only intensified the gloom in Danzo Shimura's eyes.

However, he did not react.

Because if that plan really goes smoothly, then the proceeds from acquiring another kaleidoscope could make up for all the previous losses.

Therefore, he chose not to force it.

"Well then, I'll wait and see!"

However, there was still a sinister undertone in his words.

Chapter 396 Please, don't tell Lord Huang

The pitch-black night fell upon the earth.

While bringing the daytime hustle and bustle into tranquility, it also releases people's inner unease.

It's been two days.

Or rather, only two days have passed.

In this short span of time, the entire Land of Hot Springs seemed to have experienced several years, and the entire city was shrouded in a clear and palpable sense of panic.

This panic came not only from the ordinary residents, the soldiers guarding the city, and the powerful nobles who held real power, but also from the ninjas who were holding out there!

Now,

The Hidden Cloud Village ninjas are repeatedly probing and maneuvering along the eastern border of the Land of Frost; the Hidden Leaf Village has troops stationed along its western border, with a steady stream of soldiers arriving daily; and while the Hidden Mist Village across the sea hasn't made much of a move, they are known as the "Village of Blood and Mist," a village symbolizing slaughter and destruction!

In such a tense environment, surrounded on all sides, how could a mere hundred people possibly hold their ground? How could they possibly disregard life and death and act without hesitation?

Yes,

Those adults are very strong.

The elite warriors from the Land of Iron who had invaded were wiped out overnight.

but,

What good will such a desperate measure do?

Ultimately, the samurai path is a path that has fallen into decline and can no longer be compared to the ninja.

Moreover, such a tough approach will only further provoke the anger of the Land of Iron. If tens of thousands of armored soldiers were to press on, the entire Land of Hot Springs would probably be razed to the ground.

This is a pointless defense!

[Were you abandoned?]

【perhaps. 】

Pessimistic thoughts began to infect and spread among the [Thunderbolt Group].

Ultimately, we are all human beings with our own will.

Of course, the most important reason for this is that they didn't receive any hope, response, or that important person's resounding words!

"Let me take the night watch tonight. You've been on watch for two days already, go and get some rest."

Holding the Thor's Light Sword, Ringo Yu landed nimbly on the towering city wall, and instantly, the distant wasteland was brought into full view.

All concealment, everything, cannot escape the surveillance from the high ground.

However, these towering city walls stretching across the ground could not give them any sense of security.

To a ninja, this is nothing more than a thin layer of paper.

“No business, no use.”

"I'm not that fragile yet."

Upon hearing this, Chino did not retreat as instructed, nor did she even turn around. Her slightly tired eyes remained fixed on the distance, wary of any possible situation.

After all, darkness is the best cover for any surprise attack.

"Compared to the days when I was hiding in Xinjiang and living in constant fear, at least here there is a barrier I can rely on."

She continued to add.

There was no fear in his voice.

"so."

As Ringo Ameyuri casually responded, she gracefully sat down on a nearby stone platform, her Thunder God Sword diagonally embedded in the rock, her slender legs swinging comfortably in mid-air.

It seems that neither the threat from Konoha nor the Hidden Cloud Village could bother her.

After a brief exchange, the atmosphere fell silent.

"Don't blame them. After all, they weren't born into a proper ninja family."

"Moreover, even ninjas from the five great ninja villages are not all able to disregard life and death."

“Those guys’ mentality is understandable.”

After an unknown amount of time, Chino softly broke the silence.

Within a single day, the panic within the Kingdom of Yu had become increasingly uncontrollable.

Kaguya Kimimaro's dominance and the invincible presence of the Ninja Swordsmen could not completely suppress this panic.

Because the enemies are Konoha and Kumogakure.

Because their leader was not in the city.

"Ok, I know."

Lin Yuyu said calmly.

"Actually, it's enough for that person to have us following him."

"The Land of Iron, the Five Great Ninja Villages, none of them are worth fearing."

She admires strength.

I have absolutely no respect for guys who back down when faced with difficulties.

There are just a few more cats and dogs on the border right now, but people are starting to scare themselves and become anxious all the time.

Can someone like that really be called a ninja and regarded as a comrade to be entrusted with something?

Instead of wasting time like this, it would be better to think about how to improve one's own abilities.

Upon hearing this, Chino was slightly speechless.

Indeed, to be honest, if it weren't for the need to defend this city, even if the Kage-level experts from each village came in person, they might not be able to do anything to them!

Because at their level, quantity is really no longer enough to bring about a qualitative change.

Just like an ant can never shake a tree!

Even the absolute elites from the roots of Konoha, under the inescapable confinement, could only become lambs to the slaughter when facing their fellow Ninja Swordsmen.

Moreover, aside from the Fourth Raikage, who had a terrible reputation, what village's "Kage" could wander around outside all day without any scruples, or even steal the secret techniques of other ninja clans or small villages?

However, this silence did not last long.

"Guard this place well; that was the order left behind by that person."

Chino said with certainty.

This is her promise, and it is the will that allows her to exist at this moment.

"Yes Yes."

"I know I know."
