Chapter 254 Tension

The war began, and the Fire Nation's front advanced rapidly. After twenty years of keeping a low profile, the most powerful war machine in the entire ninja world, the Konoha Ninja Village, began to operate, and countless ninjas stepped onto the battlefield.

Most of them are the new generation who have been trained in ninja schools in the past twenty years, and those seniors who have experienced the last ninja war serve as their leaders and teach them strategies for surviving on the battlefield.

The battle line advanced step by step, and soon reached the territory of the Kingdom of Rain. Wherever it passed, it was desolate.

War is like this, cruel and ruthless. The front line commanders of this war are Orochimaru, Senju Tsunade and Jiraiya, the three disciples of the Third Hokage.

A year passed quietly, and the war was in full swing. Naturally, Iwagakure and Sandgakure, who failed in the last war, would not miss this opportunity. They took advantage of Konoha's invasion of Rain Country and dispatched their ninja troops to

Within the Land of Rain.

For no other reason than to obtain more resources and make their country stronger. This is understandable. After all, the Country of Rain is adjacent to them and has prerequisites for invasion.

On the contrary, Kirigakure of Water Country, the final victor at the end of the last war, fell into isolation.

Ever since Ghost Lantern's successor took office, the Kingdom of Water has fallen into isolation. There is no sign of participating in this war at all.

At this moment, after a year of traveling, Ashes returned to Konoha Ninja Village with the fireproof girl, looking sad.

After returning to his home, he was taken to the Hokage's office by a ninja before he could rest for a while. Looking at the smiling Hiruzen Sarutobi, Ashes laughed, "Long time no see, Sarutobi, I haven't seen you for a year."

He’s gotten a lot older!”

Hearing Ashes' teasing, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled bitterly, "Isn't there another war? I can't do anything about it, but Mr. Ashes is still as charming as ever."

"Where is Tobirama? How is his health?" Hui Jin chuckled, smiling and caring about his old friend.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head depressedly and said helplessly, "It's not very good. The Nidaime-sama is now very ill and has almost completely forgotten who he is."

Hui Jin nodded slightly tiredly and said jokingly, "Hey, isn't it because he worried too much before and it's the root of the disease? Fortunately, you have some small hobbies to adjust yourself. You shouldn't have Alzheimer's like him, hey.

hey-hey."

Hearing Ashes' words, Sarutobi rolled his eyes, chuckled and said, "Then please Mr. Ashes, please keep it a secret from me..."

The two of them had a tacit agreement not to mention the failed assassination led by Shimura Danzo a year ago. It would hurt their feelings to mention these things, so the two of them just ignored the matter gracefully and pretended that it didn't exist.

"That's the end of the pleasantries. Why did you come to me for something? Do you have to be in such a hurry?" Hui Jing waved his hand and said with a smile.

Hearing Ashes' straightforward words, Sarutobi Hiruzen said helplessly, "Mr. Ashes is still so impatient, so I won't beat around the bush. We are at war now. I believe you know it, and he is not very optimistic."

Ashes nodded and said slowly, "I know, this war is probably the same as twenty years ago, another protracted war. But what does this have to do with me?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said helplessly, "I regret now that I started this war so easily, but now is not the time to talk about this. The war has already started, and I cannot stop it alone.

Yes, but...Mr. Ashes, you can!"

Hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Ashes tilted his head slightly and said in confusion, "What do you mean by that? You want me to help you fight? I'll behead you again!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded lightly, "That's it, Mr. Ashes, please help us, for the sake of past friendship, help Konoha escape from this war..."

Help Konoha escape from this war? You obviously started the war, but you want to be the first to escape? Isn't it a bit too bad?

"But what does this have to do with me? I agreed with Tobirama at the beginning that I would just live in seclusion in your Country of Fire and your Konoha Ninja Village. I was right. I even helped you with your spouse. You raised a peerless strong man, and you actually asked him to buy weapons? Now you actually plan to let me work for you?" Ashes sneered and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said slowly.

Hearing Ashes' words, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Well... there is really no way. After all, it is Jing's own choice, and we can't force him. And this is not my order to you, it is just my personal request." , for the sake of friendship over the past twenty years, let’s help those children who are going to the battlefield for the first time... After all, Jing’s children are also on that battlefield..."

Hearing this, Hui Jin sighed helplessly and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a bitter smile and said, "You, you, you, you, Tobirama is so good, you don't want to learn from me, you just learned these tricks, what can I say about you...forget it, I I’ll take a trip for you, and the target is that so-called demigod Hanzo, right?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly, then pondered for a moment and then said seriously, "Mr. Ash... If possible, keep him alive. Now is not the time for him to die."

Ashes tilted her head in confusion and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen curiously, wondering what he meant.

Hiruzen Sarutobi treated him to a treat and said slowly, "If Sansho Hanzo dies like this now, the entire front line of the Land of Rain will collapse. At that time, the invading Iwagakure and Sandgakure will probably take the opportunity to invade Konoha..." "

"Why are you so selfish all of a sudden? I remember that you didn't take the peace of the ninja world as your responsibility at the beginning? Why are you so suddenly like this now!" Ashes smacked his lips and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with contempt on his face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed helplessly and looked at the three photos hanging on the wall, his face full of bitterness, "We no longer have this strength. If...if Mr. Ashes, if you join Konoha, everything will be..."

"Stop it, stop it! Why don't you let me help you rule the world! It's so beautiful to think about." Ashes waved his hand, interrupted what Hiruzen Sarutobi was saying, and said impatiently.

It's okay to rub it hard. I'm not your nanny. I have my own purpose, so I live in your Konoha Village temporarily.

After the two princes who love each other are reincarnated, Ashes wants to kidnap these two boys and then forcefully teach them! Take away their souls and leave here quickly.

If I hadn't made an agreement with the Immortal of Six Paths, I would have started searching for their wandering souls all over the world... Is there still time to play the emotional card with you? Who do you think you are?

"It's such a pity. I thought Mr. Ashes was also a person who liked peace and was willing to contribute to peace..." Sarutobi Hiruzen said this in a weird way, which made Ashes really want to punch him in the face.

Hui Jing looked at the scheming Third Hokage with a strange look on his face, and smiled bitterly, "You politicians, can you please be a little more clean-mouthed? Don't think that I don't know, you are just beating around the bush and scolding me!"

Sarutobi calmly took a puff of his pipe and narrowed his eyes slightly with an expression that said, "I don't understand what you are talking about." He looked at Ashes and wanted to hit someone even more...

"Stop talking about this, I can help you again, but I also have a request..." Ashes suddenly waved his hand and said seriously to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked like I know it and said with a smile, "Of course, you can make requests, as long as we are mutually beneficial..."



When Ashes left the Hokage's office building, Ashes scratched his head and felt a little regretful, muttering to himself, "Did I make the request too simple? This old fox agreed so easily. If I had known better, I would have made more requests. Let's go."

Let him bleed."

As for Sarutobi Hiruzen, after meeting the important figure Ashes, he called his elders to start a new round of meetings.

After all, the sudden return of Ashes is good news for them, which can quickly end this war. Anyway, the goal has been achieved. The Kingdom of Rain is now besieged by the Three Kingdoms, and there is no time to trouble them anymore... at least

This is what Sarutobi Hiruzen thought.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi finished recounting the conversation with Ashes, Danzo Shimura was the first to jump out, "I don't agree! Hiruzen, how can you decide such a thing so arbitrarily?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the excited Shimura Danzo with a calm face. After thinking for a moment, he put down the pipe in his hand and said with a smile, "I am the Hokage, why not? Besides, this can stop unnecessary sacrifices.

Anyway, our goal has been achieved."

The other two members of the elder group, Koharu Suzukai and Mito Kadeni, also nodded slightly when they heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's words. In fact, they did not agree with this war at the beginning. They only helped Danzo to speak for the sake of checks and balances.

of.

But now, it's time to speak for Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is the Hokage. "What Hiruzen said makes sense. The resources Konoha Village has invested in the battlefield are a bit too big now. Besides, there are Sandgakure and Iwagakure nearby.

There is restlessness, now is the best time to shrink the front line."

Shimura Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly, which was not in line with his interests. Although in the past year of war, the power gap between him and Sarutobi Hiruzen has become smaller and smaller, and he even managed to win over another person.

Groups of people join their newly established root organization.

We could have expanded our results, we could have gained more, but it's all this damn Ashes' fault. Why is he back at this critical moment? Damn it!

Although he was very angry, Danzo Shimura had nothing to do. After all, he was still only a member of the elders, and from the standpoint of the village, he could not say anything against it.
