Sarutobi Hiruzen listened to Nara Shikaku's report with a solemn expression.
However, Yamanaka Haiichi suffered a serious mental injury, and not long after he returned, he could no longer hold on and fell into a coma.
He is currently receiving treatment at Konoha Hospital.
Fortunately, Nara Shikaku is in good condition.
Apart from his face turning a little pale due to too much chakra consumption, there was nothing serious.
But as the captain of this operation, almost all of the hundreds of elite ninjas were wiped out.
Among them were nine ninjas of the same race. One can imagine how painful he felt now.
In the office, there were Danzo Shimura, Mito Kabuto, Koharu, Jiraiya and Orochimaru who came over after hearing the news.
Orochimaru found out that he couldn't understand Teigu, All Things Two Parts, and Prometheus.
He didn't understand why it could have extraordinary qualities and functions even though it was not chakra metal.
It can be said that it is no less than the seven ninja swords of Kirigakure Village, or the Thunder God Sword of their Konoha Village.
So Orochimaru is now full of interest in anyone from Loulan.
Naturally, this also includes Araki, who is approaching the Leaf Village.
To be honest, he had thought about going to Loulan to inquire about it himself before...
The six people present can be said to be the top leaders of Konoha Village at the moment.
As for Tsunade, she hasn’t returned to the village yet...
Following Nara Shikaku's report, everyone except Orochimaru remained expressionless.
The faces of the other five people gradually turned ugly.
The air pressure in the room almost dropped to the point where it was breathless.
There are twenty jounin, thirty special jounin, and fifty chuunin, all of them are ninjas from the major ninja clans.
Together with Namikaze Minato, Akimichi Choza, Hinata Hizashi, and Inuzuka Jaw, there are twenty-four jounin!
They are still the Jonin of Konoha!
Such a luxurious lineup comes with preparation.
To be slaughtered by the guy pretending to be the First Hokage?
lost heavily!
The key is that as the current Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't think he can survive such a lineup.
Not to mention that there is also Namikaze Minato who has mastered and further improved the Flying Thunder God Technique...
"So we spent nearly a hundred elite ninjas, and the information we got was that the opponent was called Aramaki, and his mental power was so strong that he was immune to genjutsu including Heart Turn and Sharingan..."
"You can break free from the control of the shadow imitation technique and the restraint formation through some ability. There is no chakra in the body, and the acupuncture points of the soft fist method are ineffective, and even do not move at all..."
"The physical ability is so powerful that it can knock out the Kaiten of the Hyuga clan leader with one palm, and he can be knocked away without a trace, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead, and the wood escape is so powerful that he can knock out the super-strengthened Ding Zao clan leader with one punch...
.”
Orochimaru used his somewhat hoarse but charismatic voice to softly integrate the key contents of the information.
It also makes Araki’s image more concrete and vivid in everyone’s mind.
But every word he said made this image look more terrifying.
Even the faint smile on his face disappeared without a trace after saying the last word, and he subconsciously stretched out his scarlet tongue to lick his thin lips.
"The First Hokage-sama can only live like this..."
Jiraiya muttered to himself with a stiff expression. He couldn't even think of how to deal with this kind of enemy.
"The opponent should still be approaching us now. The top priority now is to find a way to stop him and repel him!"
At this time, Danzo Shimura said seriously with a cold expression.
"Since one hundred ninjas are not enough, then use one thousand! If one thousand are not enough, then use five thousand, or even tens of thousands of ninjas!"
He doesn't think there is anyone in this world who can defeat ten thousand people.
Even the first Hokage, who was called the 'God of the Ninja World'.
This is not surprising.
Because people like Shimura Danzo had met Senju Hashirama when they were young.
But they were too young and had no chance to witness the latter's battle.
Therefore, the understanding of Senju Hashirama's strength is still limited to what they can understand.
For example, I guess he might be better than the Sandaime Raikage, Hanzo, or their teacher Senju Tobirama?
In today's era of ninja world.
Perhaps only Onoki, the third generation Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village, has a clearer understanding of higher levels.
Because when he was young, he and the second generation Tsuchikage Mu were beaten by Uchiha Madara, so naturally he had a deep understanding...
pity.
The six people in the Hokage's office did not have this understanding.
They also couldn't imagine the level Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara were at.
Naturally, I was frightened and unbelievable by the strength shown by Aramaki.
"Jiraiya, you will be the commander-in-chief next, organize the defense line as soon as possible, and never let the opponent enter the gate of Konoha!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't think of a better way for a while.
"If necessary, I will personally go into battle. Orochimaru and Danzo, you must also be prepared. Now we have reached a critical moment of life and death for Konoha!"
"Humph, of course I understand."
Danzo seemed to hear the deeper meaning of these words, and glared at Sarutobi Hiruzen with an unhappy expression.
"Do you think I am the kind of person who would watch Konoha being hurt but remain indifferent for personal gain?"
"You misjudged me, Hiruzen!"
"When it comes to my love for Konoha, my 'root' is deeper than anyone else's, including you..."
So Danzo always felt that he was more suitable to be Hokage than Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Because he will not be as indecisive and cowardly as the other party.
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not comment on this, and only dealt with Danzo with silence.
This also made anger appear in the latter's eyes.
Danzo felt that Hiruzen didn't understand him at all!
【boom!】
At this moment, the office door was pushed open violently.
The eyes of the six people glanced over at once, and at the same time, their body muscles tensed up instantly.
You must know that even the two advisors of the administrative department, Mito Monen and Koharu Koharu, are both jounin.
He is also a disciple of Senju Tobirama, and his strength is much stronger than the average Jounin of Konoha.
"Watergate?!"
But after seeing the person coming, the momentum that the six people had just raised returned to its original state in the blink of an eye.
But there was obvious surprise in his eyes.
Because Namikaze Minato looks very embarrassed right now.
Not only were his feet tied with thick bandages, he was also sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed by his wife Shinjiuna.
Even the gentle smile that was as bright as the sun in the past disappeared, and only deep worry and pain appeared on his face.
"What's wrong with you?"
As a teacher, Jiraiya hurried over and asked.
When he heard Nara Shikaku say that Namikaze Minato went to contain Araki alone, he actually didn't have much worry in his heart.
Because Jiraiya knew better than anyone how far Namikaze Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique had reached.
Even if the First Hokage were alive, there was no way he could leave Namikaze Minato behind!
"Teacher, I have more information about Araki here, but there is something I need you to confirm first. During the battle, I found that the psychic technique failed, and there were no toads on Miaomu Mountain that responded to my call...
..”
"What?!"
Jiraiya was surprised when he heard this, he wanted to say how could this be possible.
Just seeing the serious look in his disciple's eyes, he immediately suppressed it.
"Then let me give it a try."
Immediately, under the gaze of everyone in the room, Jiraiya skillfully used the psychic technique, and then slapped his hand on the cold ground.
【boom!】
White smoke poured out, and Jiraiya's expression suddenly changed.
Because as the smoke slowly dissipated, nothing really appeared.
"How can this be!"
Now Jiraiya realized that things were in trouble.
Because if he couldn't summon the toad, then he couldn't let the toad summon him to Miaomu Mountain using the technique of reverse channeling.
But why...
"Psychic art!"
Suddenly, Orochimaru, who had been silent until now, also used it once.
After the white smoke cleared, no snake appeared.
This made him lick his lips and sneer: "Interesting, it seems these holy places know something we don't know~"
