Saving the Uchiha clan starts with becoming the clan leader.

It bumped into a feather.

Then I saw that burst of fireworks and heard that deafening roar.

but,

That alone wouldn't have been enough to terrify the genius girl so much that she broke out in a cold sweat. It wouldn't be easy for such slowly falling feathers to hurt her. The reason she felt fear was because the number of strange birds circling in the air was increasing, and the falling feathers were indeed as continuous as a blizzard in winter.

"This quantity... wow!"

Yakumo gasped.

I felt the pressure.

She was skilled in illusion techniques and didn't know how to deal with this kind of bomb attack from the sky. No matter how outstanding her talent was, she was still a student at the Ninja Academy. Even though Sogen had shown her the battlefield, her combat experience was still a bit lacking.

"Yakumo, Fujika, what... are we supposed to do?"

Ying was completely flustered at this moment. None of them had much practical experience, so it would be strange if they didn't panic in the face of trouble.

"I do not know either!"

Teng Hua looked bewildered and said uncertainly, "I guess, I guess we need to find a way to block those feathers!"

The pedestrians on the street had fallen into chaos, running around looking for a place to hide. Fortunately, because it was midday, there were not many pedestrians on the road except for the customers queuing in front of the ramen shop. In the blink of an eye, only Yakumo, Fujika, Hotaru, Naruto and Sasuke remained on the huge street, along with two unknown Chunin who were also queuing to eat ramen.

As the streets became empty...

Naruto and Sasuke also noticed Yakumo and the other two, and quickly ran over.

"Fujika, Yakumo, Hotaru, what are you all doing here?"

"Naruto, you idiot, is this the time to talk about this? Quickly think of a way to stop those feathers, we can't let them fall!" Fujika looked at the slowly falling feathers, cold sweat appearing on her forehead.

But she remained standing still, only reaching into her ninja tool pouch to pull out a kunai and throwing it into the sky, detonating it before the feathers could fall.

Thank God,

Luckily, I didn't forget to bring my ninja tool bag when I went out to eat, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do with my hands empty.

"Hey, you kids, hurry up and take refuge. Leave this to us."

The two Chunin reacted quickly, throwing shuriken to detonate feathers while kindly urging the group of kids who didn't know how to run away to leave. They saw Yakumo, Fujika, and Hotaru throwing shuriken, but when they saw that these kids weren't wearing headbands, they realized that these kids weren't ninjas yet, but probably students from the Ninja Academy.

A sense of responsibility to take care of these children immediately arose in my mind.

but,

These students who haven't even graduated from the ninja academy are completely disobedient.

"Leave it to me, I'll deal with these monsters in the sky." Naruto seemed not to have heard the two Chunin uncles' words at all, and directly formed a hand seal.

Shadow Clone Technique

One person could form an army, with hundreds of shadow clones scattered across the nearby streets and rooftops. This scene left the two Chunin who were about to say something speechless. As veteran Chunin, they could tell that these clones were not deceptive illusions, but genuine physical clones.

At least,

The clones around them all made footsteps as they walked.

"Tsk! Having a lot of chakra is really great!"

Sasuke clicked his tongue.

He withdrew the shuriken that he had been holding between his fingers, ready to throw it. Knowing Naruto as he did, he knew that Naruto must have thought of a way to deal with the monsters flying in the sky.

"Huh? Naruto, what are you doing?"

Fujika stared wide-eyed as a group of Narutos ran off in all directions.

Yakumo and Hotaru also stopped throwing shuriken and looked at Naruto himself, who was standing with Sasuke, with a puzzled expression. It wasn't that they trusted Naruto as much as Sasuke did, but rather that they were almost out of shuriken in their ninja tool pouches.

You'll see it soon.

As they spoke, hundreds of Narutos simultaneously pulled out scrolls and writing implements.

Then--

Wielding the brush and splashing ink.

[Ninja Technique·Super Beast Fake Painting]

A jet-black sparrow leaped from the paper and flew towards the sky, like a black tide surging from the ground. It collided with the falling feathers, and a series of explosions echoed in the air. Clusters of blazing and bright fireworks bloomed in the sky. Not a single feather was missed.

"Holy crap! This...this..."

The two Chunin's mouths were wide open like hippos, their tongues tied in knots, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Their eyes were filled with disbelief!

Is this some kind of joke?

Are the students at the Ninja Academy already... this powerful?

But the next second...

"Wait, he, he looks like the Nine-Tails..." One of them recognized Naruto.

"Ah! That's right, no wonder! No wonder!"

The two middle-aged ninjas' 'whispering conversation' couldn't escape the ears of the boys and girls, but at this moment no one was in the mood to argue with the older men. Dealing with the immediate disaster was the top priority, but the boys and girls were still completely clueless about how to do it.

Naruto, relying on his naturally large amount of chakra and the secret technique Super Beast Imitation Drawing that he had honed over the years to a point where it could be called "perfect", managed to barely hold off a wave of bombardment. He should be able to withstand this level of attack before the shadow clones run out of chakra.

but,

Relying solely on passive defense is the worst possible choice!

We need to find a way to fight back!

[309.Chapter 307 Five Senses Control]

A level-one martial law order has been issued.

Upon receiving the order, the police department dared not delay for a moment. The acting deputy head, Uchiha Arashiyama, quickly mobilized the entire police department's forces, with a group of elite personnel rushing to the vicinity of the village's main entrance to resist the advance of the vicious dogs and snakes.

More people were dispersed to organize the villagers to seek refuge in various shelters.

The shelter beneath the Hokage Rock is the largest shelter in the village, not the only one. It's impossible and impossible to fit hundreds of thousands of people in Konoha into a single shelter. This is not only a matter of capacity but also of distance. Just queuing up to walk into a shelter would take a very long time.

Konoha's shelters are set up according to neighborhoods, with one shelter for each neighborhood, which is just enough to accommodate the surrounding residents and make it convenient for them to take refuge nearby.

of course,

Those who sought refuge were ordinary people in the village, including the elderly, women, and children.

A ninja cannot retreat.

Not only can they not retreat, but they must join the battle immediately.

"Lady Tsunade, let's go too..." Shizune was conflicted, the word "seek refuge" stuck in her throat. Although she had followed Tsunade away from Konoha and started a life of aimless wandering in the ninja world shortly after her uncle Dan's death, it did not mean that she had no feelings for the village that her uncle had risked his life to protect.

If possible,

She really wanted to help in this time of crisis.

However, the key lies in Tsunade's hemophobia. Hemophobia is a condition that causes a fear of seeing blood. Different patients have different symptoms, and Tsunade's condition is relatively normal. She doesn't react much to small amounts of blood. It's impossible for her to have an attack if she accidentally pricks her finger and bleeds a little. Even if there's a lot of bloody and mangled flesh, she won't have any effect if it only lasts for 1 to 3 seconds.

So when Tsunade was in Hyakkaou Street, she was able to KO that strange monster with one punch, without even looking at the brain-splattered corpse she had just beaten.

But the situation is different now.

In such a large-scale battle, it's not something you can simply avoid seeing those gory and gruesome scenes; in other words, Tsunade would be completely unable to fight under such circumstances.

"What exactly is this?"

Tsunade was completely oblivious to Shizune's inner turmoil.

She leaned out of the hotel room window, gazing at the strange bird flying in from the direction of the village entrance, her heart filled with confusion and pain. Why had all her former friends turned against the village? Orochimaru was one, and so was Hiruko.

"Shizune, let's go to the Hokage Building."

"Huh?"

Shizune's eyes widened.

"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up, don't pack your bags. It's not like we're never coming back, we're just going out for a bit." Tsunade jumped out of the window and ran towards the Hokage Building, which wasn't far away. Shizune had no choice but to follow.

That's not bad either. Going to the Hokage Building... is also a good choice! At this time, the Hokage Building should be the safest place. Although the Hokage is not in the Hokage Building, with the Hokage, whose reputation she has heard of, assisting her, there should be no need to worry about Tsunade's safety.

Unlike Shizune, who was preoccupied with worrying about Tsunade,

Tsunade's mind was not on herself at the moment. She just wanted to go to the Hokage Building to find out what was going on. Was it really Hiruko causing trouble? She was well aware of her hemophobia, so she did not rush towards the village entrance, but went to the Hokage Building instead.

At this moment,

The Hokage Building serves as the brain and heart of Konoha.

By now, they should have confirmed the intruders' information, right?

Akimichi family.

The sudden disaster also brought an unexpected impact to the family. Akimichi Choza rushed into the courtyard. Before he could speak, the Fifth Hokage, who was sitting on the veranda sunbathing, said, "Choza, what happened? It's a bit noisy outside."

"Uncle, the village has been attacked."

"What happened in the village?"

Akimichi Torifu's expression suddenly changed. He could no longer maintain his composed demeanor. The word "shock" was practically written on his face. He turned his head sharply and stared at the source of the sound with his cloudy, lifeless eyes.

"What happened? Explain yourself!!"

"It's Hiruko. The guy who attacked the village claims to be Hiruko. He commanded a huge number of monsters to launch the attack. The area near the main gate has become a battlefield. The Hokage has issued a level one martial law order and sent an envoy to ask you to sign it. The envoy should be arriving soon... By the way, this is all the information that Shikaku and Inoichi gave me."

Choza Akimichi did his best to recount what he had heard.

The spiritual techniques of the mountain tribe are quite powerful.

It can be used not only for perception and combat, but also for long-distance communication under certain conditions. To be honest, there are reasons why some technologies in the ninja world have not developed. The bizarre ninjutsu, secret techniques, and bloodline limits have deprived science and technology of their driving force for development.

far away,

In short, Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi teamed up at the Hokage Building to deliver the message before the messenger sent by Sogen arrived, so that the Fifth Hokage would have some time to think about how to deal with the current situation.

"Martial law at its highest level?"
