Living your daily life in a shonen anime seems to be wrong.

Moreover, there's also Xiao.

Nanaya planned to take care of Akatsuki as well.

But before that, we need to take care of Konoha first.

"Jiraiya, Tsunade..."

Thinking of the two people who had brought him back to Konoha, Shichiya started biting his nails again.

But in the end, I didn't think much of it.

"I'm going to the Shuixiang Administrative District tomorrow to reorganize the troops. Tell them to get ready."

"I see."

Feng Hua Xiaoxue nodded obediently.

He waved his hand, signaling the surrounding maids to leave.

After they went out and closed the door, he stood up and walked up to Qiye.

He looked at Qi Ye with a smile.

"Brother Qiye".

"what?"

"Why don't you stay tonight?"

"..."

Qi Ye blinked, and then "whoosh," he disappeared.

Only one sentence was left behind.

"I'll go back and work on the script; we'll talk about this after the wedding."

Qiye is a supporter of premarital sex (beep~).

But Feng Hua Xiaoxue couldn't help but pout.

"Always running away, I don't believe you can escape this world, humph!"

Chapter 134: Waiting

The situation on the Ninja Continent is changing every moment.

The Land of Fire, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Earth quickly formed a military alliance after the coup in Sunagakure.

The Allied forces began preparing for a counter-landing operation.

The Land of Wind.

The coup in Sunagakure caused the military forces of the Land of Wind to spiral out of control.

After several orders were issued but the Sand Village failed to comply, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind began to expand his regular army.

Ordinary troops also pose a certain threat to ninjas.

After all, ninjas are creatures that rely heavily on chakra. When their chakra is depleted, they have no choice but to engage in close combat.

Therefore, theoretically, it is possible to crush a ninja by using human lives.

However, once the ninja force reaches a certain size, it becomes less meaningful for ordinary troops to sacrifice their lives to fill the gaps.

Therefore, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind also sought help from the Land of Fire, hoping that Konoha Village could send ninjas to help quell the rebellion.

They also gathered some ninjas who had only fled Sunagakure during the coup.

Civil war could break out at any moment.

Countries such as the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Frost also joined the Three Kingdoms Alliance.

The army of the Land of Hot Water began to assemble in the two port cities by the sea, intending to reclaim the "lease" that had been previously handed over to the Land of Snow.

If these two concessions are not taken back, the Land of Snow will not need to launch a landing operation at all; it can simply transport soldiers to the Ninja Continent continuously from these two ports.

Then, using these two ports as bases, they attacked other parts of the Ninja Continent.

Within the Land of Fire, they also began to ostracize merchants from the Land of Snow and control the railways that the Land of Snow had helped build.

The war has already begun.

……

The Land of Snow, Water Town Administrative District.

The troops have assembled and are on standby, while also carrying out reorganization.

"Sir Nanaya."

Military high command, including Terauchi Neiji and Okamura Hisaichi, along with generals of various ranks, reported to Nanaya in the command center.

"The army has been reorganized according to your orders. The army is divided into two army groups, each with five corps, totaling about 250,000 men."

"The Air Force has completed its reorganization and is divided into two combat groups, ready to be deployed for combat at any time."

"The three major fleets of the Navy are ready and can be put into battle at any time."

"The ninja special forces have been reorganized and divided into two battalions, ready to be deployed at any time."

"Ah, very good."

Qiye nodded, indicating his satisfaction.

Although I didn't really want to do such a troublesome thing.

But sometimes, you really have no choice but to do it.

"Each unit will be given a two-month adjustment period based on its current organization, which will also serve as preparation time. The war is expected to begin in two months."

"Yes!"

"The Marine Corps will go first to support the troops stationed in the two port cities of the Land of Hot Water. We must hold them."

"Yes!"

"Gu Lian, you lead the First Special Ninja Battalion to provide support. Be careful to preserve yourselves. We don't have enough ninjas to fight a war of attrition."

"I see."

Honglian nodded.

She understood this without Qiye saying it, since the ninja special forces were almost always outnumbered after their establishment.

However, modern ninja special forces no longer rely solely on ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, and ninja tools for combat; they are also equipped with various firearms.

Firearms are also lethal to ninjas, and can also reduce chakra consumption.

More importantly, if the primary objective is destruction, air strikes, naval gunfire, and artillery barrages can be called in at any time via radio.

"But there's one more thing to remember..."

Nana seemed to remember something.

"The three major ninja villages haven't made any moves yet, and their ninjas haven't participated in the battle. Once you arrive, be careful to stay hidden and don't expose yourselves for the time being."

"Yes!"

"Then, let's get to work."

"Yes!"

……

Country of Fields.

The daimyo of the Land of Rice Fields is no longer needed; all the ninjas and the army obey Mei Terumi's orders.

The order from the Land of Snow had already arrived.

Therefore, preparations have already been made.

"General, the ninja force of over 1,500 men, divided into three companies, has been reorganized. In addition to the personnel remaining on duty, the army of over 15,000 men has also assembled and is ready to go."

"Then let's wait and see for now; we don't need to go on stage yet."

"Yes!"

……

Summer of the 64th year of Konoha.

When a major power mobilizes its troops, smaller countries have no choice but to follow suit.

A war that will sweep across the entire ninja continent is about to break out.

The two port cities of the Land of Hot Water are now engulfed in war.

The army of the Land of Hot Water besieged the garrison of the Land of Snow, but failed to breach the city walls, leaving behind only countless corpses.

Left with no other option, they could only surround the enemy without attacking, waiting for the ninja forces to arrive.

Of the remaining three ninja villages, Konoha Village encountered a lot of trouble.

Akatsuki's activities everywhere have tied down Konoha and diverted a significant portion of its attention.

Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, was constantly searching for Sasuke Uchiha and had no chance of engaging in battle.

Of course, even if they weren't pursuing Uchiha Sasuke, they probably wouldn't allow him to get involved in the battle unless absolutely necessary.

Keep in mind that the Akatsuki organization is also lurking in the shadows, eyeing us covetously.

Under these circumstances, Jiraiya had no choice but to risk infiltrating the Akatsuki's headquarters.

Rain-Hidden Village.

This is a place where it rains all year round, and the number of days when you can see the sun is pitifully small.

The Hidden Rain Village was once under the leadership of the so-called "demigod," Hanzo the Salamander.

However, he was later killed by Pain, and Amegakure came under Pain's leadership.

Ordinary people rarely see Pain; most of the time, the only one they see is "Angel" Konan.

The first person Jiraiya met was Konan.
