Eight hundred and seventieth eight chapters dispatch troops
Lei Luo looked sideways and saw a blond figure walking slowly from the street to the door of the Hokage Building before he stopped.
"Of course you have to go."
Looking into Minato's determined eyes for a moment, Lei Luo looked away uncomfortably and happened to see Kushina beside Minato.
"You can't go."
Kushina was stunned when she heard this. She subconsciously opened her mouth wide and pointed at herself. Seeing Lei Luo nodding slowly with a look of no negotiation on his face, she immediately couldn't bear it.
"Hokage-sama! Hokage-sama!"
But just when she blushed and wanted to say something, a series of footsteps sounded again. Lei Luo had no choice but to turn his head. This time it was three people:
Uchiha Ao, Hiroki Uzumaki, and Uzumaki Koichi.
The entrance to the Hokage Building seemed to suddenly become bustling with people. However, thanks to Lei Luo starting to evacuate the people in the village, not many people noticed the small gathering here.
After Uchiha Cang approached, he quickly glanced at Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama. After a brief nod, he looked at Lei Luo. As the acting Hokage, he still knew some secrets, including the filth of the first and second generations.
"Lord Hokage, are you planning to raid the Kirigakure army soon?"
Uchiha Cang's face was solemn. As soon as the words came out, Lei Luo understood what he wanted to say. He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and glanced at Senju Tobirama beside him.
"Where did you get the news?"
Senju Tobirama's face was expressionless, while Uchiha Ao coughed in embarrassment and did not answer the question, but proactively suggested:
"Hokage-sama, could you please take me with you? I have a pair of kaleidoscopes, which may be of some use."
The Konoha ninjas have a strong desire to fight and are very determined to defend the village. Although Lei Luo is quite pleased, he will not agree to anyone's request.
Kirigakure's army is not a pawn. Ice, Scorpion, Uzumaki Nagato, Ye Cang and others are not easy to deal with. A small force attack like this one, with the participation of people of average strength, can definitely be called
Ten deaths and no life.
Although Uchiha Ao is not weak, Konoha currently does not have many high-end combat capabilities. If all the masters are attacked, who will ensure the gathering and operation of the army?
"Cang, your mission is to fulfill the protection of Kushina as accused by Hokage Hokage. I will leave it to you for the time being. Don't cause any trouble for me."
Uchiha Cang had a tangled look on his face and wanted to say more, but unexpectedly Lei Luo had already reached out to stop and communicated with Beiliu and Uzumaki Koichi, so he had no choice but to sigh.
"Hokage-sama, please take this."
"Because the time is too short, we can only make this finished product. It only takes effect for ten minutes and is very fragile. Please be careful to protect it."
Lei Luo took a fiery red transparent bead about the size of a baby's fist from Uzumaki Haoichi, held it in front of his eyes and observed it for a moment, nodded to the two researchers, and then took it into his arms.
In more than ten days, the research institute's cracking work on the "Anti-Leiluo Device" was not without progress. The red crystal ball that Leiluo received at this time was the latest achievement developed by Uzumaki Koichi and others.
"Okay, everyone, I believe you all know what the situation is now. I won't go into details here. I only have one sentence to say..."
Taking a deep breath, his eyes swept over the faces of everyone present one by one, starting from Senju Hashirama who looked calm, and ending with Kushina who had an unhappy face.
"Konoha, no matter how unfavorable the situation is, no matter how powerful the opponent is, as long as we unite and persevere, victory will always belong to us!"
…
Under the command of the ninjas, the villagers of Konoha either hid in underground shelters or took trains to major towns in the west. Although the whole process was a little rushed, it was generally orderly.
The tense atmosphere before the war intensified as Lei Luo received the news of the Battle of Seven Mile Beach. Now three or four days have passed, except for the increasing number of ninjas in the village, ordinary people have almost disappeared.
A large area of land to the east of the Country of Fire was completely occupied, and the ninjas from the military region in the west kept rushing to Konoha to gather. Along with them, there were many ninja troops drawn back from the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Rain, and the Kingdom of Earth.
The Kirigakure army is approaching, and everyone knows that the opponent this time is completely different from the past. The defeat in the Battle of Seven Mile Beach gradually spread to the point where everyone knows it as time goes by.
Since the start of the Third Ninja War, this is the first time that the Fire Nation has suffered such a huge defeat. It is only natural that it has attracted the attention of the National Defense Force ninjas, not to mention that the enemy has also invaded the Fire Nation.
Jiraiya had just finished his mission and returned to the staff headquarters when he was informed of the news. He then boarded the train to the Land of Fire, accompanied by the third batch of troops returning home for reinforcements.
Sitting in the bumpy carriage, smelling the smell of sweat in the air, Jiraiya's expression had not yet come out of his trance, and what he was thinking about were basically the impressions Hinata Tamaki left on him.
That man, will he lose?
Will he lose to someone other than Lei Luo?
Even if he heard Uzumaki's conclusive statement with his own ears, Jiraiya still found it unbelievable. After a few limited contacts, either watching from the sidelines or witnessing it with his own eyes, he felt that Hinata Tamaki had, to some extent, already
Reached the pinnacle of blood ninja.
In a head-on confrontation, Hinata Tamaki would not even be weaker than Uchiha Madara.
It is simply unheard of for the Byakugan to be developed to that extent. It is like a fantasy or a myth. But even such a ninja was still defeated by the Mizukage of Kirigakure Village.
How strong is the Fourth Mizukage, Ice?
"Hey, uncle! Why are you shaking all the time? Are you scared?"
A slightly green voice sounded, and Jiraiya looked subconsciously, and saw three young ninjas looking at him curiously across from his neighbor. The speaker was a black-haired boy, wearing a pair of protective gear.
eyepiece.
"What's the point of being afraid? It's excitement, do you understand?"
Jiraiya coughed lightly, adjusted his mentality, and his face was soon filled with a master-like calmness. Unfortunately, the black-haired boy had very keen observation skills, and smiled with interest:
"But your hands are still shaking. Is this also caused by excitement?"
Jiraiya's face was a little confused, and he wanted to defend himself. Unexpectedly, the brown-haired girl next to the black-haired boy looked at his companion with a dissatisfied look, and reached out to grab the former's ear:
"Okay, Obito, the enemy this time is Kirigakure after all, aren't you afraid?"
The unintentional conversation between the boy and the girl made Jiraiya feel like he was stabbed in the chest by an arrow. At this moment, his face was full of despair. But the last white-haired boy, after looking at him for a moment, suddenly said:
"Are you Jiraiya-sama? What a pleasure to meet you."
Hearing the name Jiraiya, Obito and Lin stopped and looked over in surprise. They were both ninjas from the Earth Kingdom army. They had naturally heard each other's names, but they didn't expect that they would be in the carriage today.
