Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting in a house that had just been built with wood, looking solemnly at the people at the round table.
His location is a "small island" held up by a giant turtle.
Turtle Island is so large that most of the time, people on it can hardly realize that they are on a giant turtle.
However, the Ninja Alliance will not place all ninjas on the island turtle. There is only one reason - food and grass.
After leaving land, it is a big problem to replenish food and grass in time.
Moreover, even if they go to the island, Kirigakure Village may not be able to supply stable food for a long time. Therefore, the advance team, including him and the other three leaders, only has 5,000 people, and most of the ninjas are temporarily stationed on the shore.
, you can take the Island Turtle and come here again at any time.
Five thousand ninja elites are actually not a small number. Unless there are more Akatsuki than them, they are confident that they can directly deal with them - provided they do not get the Six-Tails.
At the second Five Kage Conference, the duties of the leaders had been divided. Hiruzen Sarutobi and Ōnoki had the most seniority, but Hiruzen Sarutobi had a higher prestige, so the position of commander was given to him.
When he was still 20 nautical miles away from the coastline, Hiruzen Sarutobi discussed with several other people and sent a team of 20 people. This team was the vanguard force of the coalition to explore the situation on the island.
, to avoid being ambushed by "Xiao".
"What should we do now? Are we just going to wait like this?" Ai tapped his fingers on the table, impatiently, "I heard that Jiraiya and Tsunade have been on the island a long time ago, but they haven't sent any news?"
"No. We have not met up with them, so there is no way to contact them for the time being. Moreover, if the situation in Kirigakure Village is urgent, even if there is a way to contact them, they may not have time." Sarutobi Hiruzen crossed his fingers with a serious expression.
"It's best that that boy Yusuke Terauchi doesn't come out!" Ai slammed the table and spoke harshly.
"Are you angry with him?" Ohnoki closed his eyes.
"What's there to be angry about?" Ai took a deep breath and shook his head, "He'd better not come out, otherwise, once caught by Xiao, all of us who fill in may not be worthy of Xiao.
"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.
This is the most troublesome.
Judging from the past, Terauchi Yusuke can challenge Pain Tendo alone and is an indispensable fighting force. Without him, they will definitely have a lot of difficulty in dealing with "Akatsuki", and even many more people will die.
But if he appears, he may be caught by "Akatsuki", and then it won't be a matter of a few people dying, but the entire ninja world will be involved.
The loss is too great.
"Are there any problems with the names of all countries? I'm talking about security." Ma Ji was slightly uneasy.
Although he also participated in the Five Shadows Conference last time, his identity this time was that of the Kazekage. Even though it was only temporary, he was also responsible for the fate of Sunagakure Village.
No matter which aspect he considered, he did not dare to let the famous names of the Kingdom of Wind take risks.
"Don't worry, the daimyo are now surrounded by the coalition forces, and their personal guards are the elites of the major ninja villages. If they have an accident somewhere, it is estimated that there is no place in the entire ninja world that can guarantee their safety." Sarutobi Hiruzen explained.
"Sorry, I'm just not worried." Marky forced a smile.
"It doesn't matter, you will get used to it in the future." Sarutobi Hiruzen comforted.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Come in." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
Others immediately looked outside the door and saw a young ninja hurried into the conference room.
"The analysis team came back with news that the vanguard force had not even landed ashore, so they were stopped... no, they were completely wiped out," the young ninja said.
"What?"
The expressions of the four people in the room changed drastically, and they all stood up and walked outside.
Near Kirigakure Village, there was also thick fog on the sea, and the visibility was horribly low.
If it weren't for Turtle Island, a boatman unfamiliar with the sea conditions might have a high chance of running aground on the rocks.
The four people were preparing to rendezvous with the analysis team. Suddenly, there was a slight vibration on Turtle Island. Although it was not big, the four people clearly felt that Turtle Island was abnormal.
At this moment, a large fish about twenty meters long passed through the air and then disappeared from sight.
"What's going on?" Marky became alert.
The fog, the sea, and the unfamiliar place made it difficult not to make him doubtful.
"Don't panic. The other ninjas are watching us. Once we behave abnormally, it will also affect them. This is the responsibility of the leader. We must give them confidence, even if it means death!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
Maki took a deep breath, knowing that he had lost his composure. He looked back at Sarutobi Hiruzen and nodded seriously.
At this moment, Nara Shikaku arrived in a hurry. He didn't have time to say hello to the others and said directly: "Hokage-sama, sirs, something happened."
"What's wrong?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.
"A lot of marine life appeared on the sea, blocking the way!" Nara Shikaku said.
"What?" Hiruzen Sarutobi took the lead and arrived at the edge of Turtle Island, followed closely by the leaders of other ninja villages.
The sea was covered with fog and visibility was very low, but through the rough outlines, we could still see giant marine creatures rising from the water from time to time.
The good fish, which was nearly twenty meters long, was not worth mentioning in front of these marine creatures. The outline of the largest marine creature in the heavy fog spread into the distance, and when you looked at it roughly, it was almost hundreds of meters long.
"What...is going on?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked in surprise.
"I don't know...but, there seems to be a voice." Nara Shikaku said quickly.
"Voice?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned and quickly calmed down.
In the distance, there was a faint sound of waves.
And as time goes by, this voice becomes louder and louder.
"Could it be a tsunami?!" Hiruzen Sarutobi was shocked and quickly turned around, "Tell others to be careful of tsunamis... Can Sir Raikage, Turtle Island and others withstand the tsunami?"
Ai frowned, "We are almost ashore, where did this big wave come from?"
The waves usually rush towards the coast, but this time it was completely the other way around.
"I don't know. Anyway, let's make preparations first." Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, and Nara Shikaku immediately turned around.
At this moment, a water wall of tens of meters appeared in the thick fog, which quickly covered the giant sea creatures and collided heavily with Turtle Island.
The huge impact caused Turtle Island to move back more than ten meters. Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't pay attention and took two steps back.
After the waves collided with Turtle Island, they splashed up a wall of water hundreds of meters high, and then hit the land heavily, washing a large number of rocks into the sea.
Sarutobi Hiruzen wiped the seawater off his face and looked forward. The shadow several hundred meters away twisted his body and pointed his head at them.
