84, blend

The wind in winter night is very cold.

Zhen stood outside Ayari's house for only a moment before the door opened.

Ayari was holding Sibi in her arms. She was only wearing a nightgown, and her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders. She looked like she had just gotten up from bed, and her expression was a bit weak, which made people feel pity for her.

Today's meeting was really late, and Ayari originally planned to go to bed.

"It's really cold outside." Zhen said, walking to the sofa and sitting down, pouring himself a cup of hot tea.

"It's so late, why are you coming here?" Ayari couldn't help but said.

"It's only at night that I miss you so much." Zhen said.

Ayari also sat down opposite him and looked away after hearing this, "You can't be more serious with your words."

After taking a few sips of hot tea, I felt that most of the chill in my body had subsided, and a happy sound came out of my mouth.

He asked: "Did you know there was going to be a war?"

Ayari couldn't help but be startled: "With whom?"

"Kumogakure Village, probably because it refused to give up during the Third Ninja War, is now making a comeback."

After hearing this, Ayari suddenly had a bad thought in her heart.

"you will not……"

"I'm going to the battlefield tomorrow."

"..."

Ayari's heart tightened, and she looked at Zhen's eyes flashing.

"You...don't you have to help Lord Orochimaru handle official duties on weekdays? Why do you have to go to the battlefield?"

"Someone has to go." Zhen said casually.

He looked at Ayarifu and smiled again: "What, you can't bear to leave me?"

In response to such incoherent words, Ayari remained silent this time and bowed her head.

"Um……"

Zhen suddenly heard her very low reply and couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Ayari also raised her head slightly and glanced at him, then quickly lowered her head with a blushing face.

The layer of paper between the two had long since disappeared, and Ayari didn't know why she was being reserved. She didn't resist Zhen in her heart, but she was afraid that she would face some things she couldn't predict after being with him.

"I... don't want anything to happen to you."

The teacup on the table was still steaming, and the living room was quiet except for the ticking sound of the wall clock on the wall.

Ayari sat there quietly, with a few strands of hair hanging down, and the warm light reflected on their faces at the same time. Suddenly, she felt a thrilling beauty through this haze.

She woke up Si Bi who was resting in her arms. Si Bi looked up at the two people, noticed something, and fled the scene as if he was running away.

Zhen slowly got up from the sofa and walked towards Ayari,

Ayari was frozen, not daring to look at Zhen, but she mustered up the courage to look directly into his eyes, trying to convey her emotions with her watery and firey eyes.

Let him understand, let him know.

She is waiting and inviting.

The lights were turned off in the room, and the sky was very dark. From time to time, one or two stars pierced the Milky Way, or slipped into the darkness, with red or white light tails, light or stiff, falling straight or sweeping,

Sometimes it moves and trembles, giving the sky some turbulence of light and heat, and giving the darkness some flickering explosions.

In the morning, when Zhen arrived at the gate of Konoha Village on time, there were already many ninjas gathered here.

Konoha's current military strength is very small, with no more than 2,000 people in total.

Until now in history, Konoha has never been weakened to this point, and now it is about to face Kumogakure, one of the five major countries, which is equally powerful in the country of thunder.

"Mae-kun." Fugaku, who had been waiting here early, saw Zhen coming and said hello.

Behind him were Kamon, Kakashi, Gai and others.

In addition to the ninjas waiting here, there are also many carriages carrying some combat supplies, weapons, dry food, medical supplies, etc.

I really met some of the middle-level leaders in the team and carefully reviewed everything about the entire formation before officially setting off from the village.

On the main street in the village, many villagers spontaneously came out to see him off.

Zhen glanced around and saw only a familiar figure of Hongdou.

"lets go."

The troops rushed towards the distance in a mighty manner, the carriages splashed up countless dust, and the figures of the ninjas disappeared in the dust.

The distance between the village and the northeastern border of the Land of Fire is not that far, and it would only take them half a day's journey without stopping.

The main reason is that the carriages in the team can travel at a limited speed, otherwise the ninja's pace can shorten the time by half.

It was in the afternoon when Zhen and Fugaku arrived, and yesterday's advance troops had prepared a camp for them early. The army was stationed in the Land of Fire, and the Konoha ninjas who came to support them led them in.

What arrived earlier than them was the Daimyo's support supplies.

"Looks like we're in trouble." Zhen whispered to himself.

Fugaku also nodded solemnly.

Gai and Kakashi listened in confusion. Gai quietly asked Kakashi what was going on, and Kakashi also shook his head.

"Yunyin Village has broken through the border defense and invaded our territory. It seems that Minato and the others were not able to catch up yesterday."

The Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Thunder are not adjacent to each other, but are separated by many small countries.

Konoha is stationed in the Land of Fire, which means that the enemy has entered the country.

The troops brought by Zhen and Fugaku entered the camp one after another. The camp here was only temporarily built overnight, and it is expected to be expanded later.

I really saw Shikaku, and Minato was leading the team on a mission, working as hard as ever.

"Thank you for your hard work," Shikaku said to Zhen and Fugaku.

Zhen also greeted him politely, and after entering the main account, many eyes in the room turned to Zhen.

There were all adults present, but a young boy like Zhen seemed out of place, and his status was not low, as he was the head of the Hyuga clan and Orochimaru's right-hand man.

Previously, he was in charge of all government affairs in the village. Many people had dealt with Zhen and knew that this person did have some skills in handling political affairs.

But this is a battlefield. Why is this kid here? I heard that he is just a chuunin.

Although there were many thoughts in their hearts, everyone still had a smile on their face and respectfully addressed him as "True Master" or "True Lord".

A few people didn't speak, and they really didn't care.

Zhen asked: "Senior Shikaku, can you tell me what the current situation is like?"

Shikaku pondered for a moment and said: "When we rushed there yesterday, all the border ninjas had died. There should be a cloud ninja force that entered our country. We don't know where they went. We contacted various cities and towns.

The town will notify us immediately as soon as there is information, and Minato will also lead a team to find the whereabouts of this group of Kumo ninjas."

Shikaku asked everyone to gather around the map placed on the table in the middle, and pointed at several marked locations on it, saying they were possible places to hide his figure.

"Where are the enemies outside the pass?" Zhen asked again, "How many troops have Yun Ren sent?"

Shikaku shook his head: "We just sent out reconnaissance ninjas this morning and they haven't returned yet."

After thinking about it sincerely, I estimate that there are more than 5,000 ninjas, even if it's less.

There are only more than 1,000 people on the Konoha front line...

The most important point is that there is a perfect Jinchuuriki in Kumogakure Village, unlike the two mascots of Konoha.

If Konoha throws jinchūriki into the battlefield, there will be too many unstable factors.

I can't help but sigh, the situation is not ordinary difficult.
