"You just want to let that brat take over the power of an army? You must know that he is an outsider named Uchiha!" Sarutobi Gouhao's tone gradually became full of pleading: "I am your clan uncle, Hiruzen! You can't
Do this to me!"
"snort!"
The Third Hokage snorted coldly, took out his pipe and stood by the window and smoked. He didn't want to deal with the clansman behind him who was blinded by ambition.
"Hiruzhan, you will regret it!"
Seeing this, Sarutobi Gouhao slammed the door and left.
After the footsteps disappeared, the Third Hokage said in a cold and ghostly voice: "What's going on? Why did you let him in?"
Apparently he was colluding with the ANBU hidden in the dark.
As soon as he finished speaking, a trembling ANBU half-knelt on the ground.
"Lord Hokage, that person is your clan uncle after all...so..."
"So, don't you dare?" The Third Hokage's voice became even colder: "Next time, I won't be in the office and no one will be allowed in!"
"Yes! Hokage-sama!"
Seeing that the Third Hokage did not pursue the matter, the ANBU breathed a sigh of relief.
Taking a deep breath of cigarette, the Third Hokage turned his attention to the window.
The broad field of vision freed his thinking from the limitations of the immediate situation, and he planned to use his confidant Hatake Sakumo to control Uchiha Mitsuki.
"Go and get Hatake Sakumo!"
"yes!"
With a whoosh, the ANBU left!
…
"Nissan! Why are you leaving again!"
At home, Uchiha Tu pouted and protested to his brother. Seeing this, Uchiha Mitsuki lowered his head, not daring to look at his brother's tearful eyes.
"will you miss Me?"
"Do we have to go?"
The brothers first asked each other tacitly, and then gave each other negative answers tacitly.
"Won't!"
"Yes!"
Seeing his brother's insincere expression, Uchiha Mitsuki felt helpless.
He stretched out his finger and poked Uchiha Tu's forehead, and said warmly: "Forgive me, Tu! I will be back as soon as possible!"
"Okay! Let's go!"
After getting the agreement, Uchiha Tu nodded.
Just as Uchiha Mitsuki opened the door and took one foot out, Uchiha Tu's cry came from behind.
"You promised me you would come back! You can't lie to me!"
"My good friend's brother died on a battlefield I have never seen. You can't be like him!"
Uchiha Mitsuki turned his head and glanced at his crying brother, and strode away without saying a word!
He wouldn't do such a thing as setting up a flag!
"Wait for me, Tu!"
Uchiha Mitsuki said firmly in his heart, and then nodded goodbye to his parents under the cherry blossom tree in the yard, ignoring their worried eyes, and disappeared into the night in a flash.
Uchiha Tu chased him to the entrance of the courtyard and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Nissan——! Come back, you must come back!"
This affectionate hope spread far and wide in the lonely street.
Under the cold moonlight, countless figures shuttled between the streets, shops, and water towers. They were all heading towards the gate of Konoha Village.
The strongest village in the ninja world showed its fangs tonight!
…
The gate of Konoha.
Thousands of ninjas wore green vests and Konoha forehead protectors, standing in two distinct teams.
The Third Hokage, Danzo and others came to see him off.
Looking at the increasingly dark sky, Uchiha Mitsuki and Nara Shikadai looked at each other and decided to set off.
Soon, two large groups of ninjas were formed, one group marched to the northwest, and the other group marched to the north.
The efficiency of the ninjas was terrifyingly high. After two days and two nights of traveling, they arrived at the border of the Land of Rain.
In the dense forest, it was raining lightly, and the moist air was sucked into the mouth, as if drinking water, and the soaked clothes stuck tightly to their bodies.
Considering that they had been on the road for so long, Uchiha Mitsuki ordered the entire army to adjust on the spot.
Soon, the team of two thousand people came to rest in this forest.
Tent after tent rose from the ground, and the fire-bending ninjas instantly became popular in this situation. Everyone scrambled to invite these fire-bending ninjas to get wet in the tents.
At this moment, many ninjas gathered in the big account in the center. They looked at the young man in red on the main seat and felt more or less dissatisfied.
In their eyes, putting the command of the battlefield in the hands of a child is simply a joke with their lives.
As the grassroots commanders of this ninja army, their emotions more or less affected their subordinates. At this moment, every tent was filled with discussions about Uchiha Mitsuki.
What’s nicer is: “Although Lord Mian Yue is very strong, strength alone does not determine everything on the battlefield.”
There are also more unpleasant ones: "The village has gone too far, isn't our life our life?"
What's more, "This young boy is worthy of leading us!"
In short, at this moment, the settled ninja army was full of doubts about Uchiha Mitsuki.
Fortunately, the first order he gave did not make his miserable score turn into a negative number in the hearts of the ninjas.
"Lord Miyue, they...!" Listening to these unpleasant sounds in his ears, Hinata Haimu became angry on the spot.
"An Xin, isn't this normal?"
Uchiha Mitsuki shook his head with a smile, and then glanced at Hatake Sakumo, who was directly in the front of his field of vision, leading the jounin pile.
He could probably guess that this was the work of his master, the Third Hokage. Without his help, this situation would never have happened.
As early as at the gate of Konoha, Uchiha Mitsuki discovered the problem. Sarutobi Gohao as originally planned did not appear. Instead, Hatake Sakumo, who was active on the Sunagakure battlefield, stood in his square formation.
.
Orochimaru and Jiraiya, who were originally in charge of the northern Iwagakure battlefield, were dropped to the Sunagakure battlefield.
If Master really wants to take power, then his approach should remain unchanged.
But in the current situation, Uchiha Mitsuki is just an empty show, and the real power of the army actually falls in the hands of Hatake Sakumo.
"But... it's a pity that Sakumo is just a general. Facing those group of Sunagakure who only know how to fight head-on and rarely attack sneakily, he might be able to hold his own, but once his opponent is the cunning Iwagakure, he won't be able to hold his own at all.
position."
"And this is my chance. I want even Shoma and the entire northern army!"
Uchiha Mitsuki sneered inwardly.
Outside the big tent, raindrops were still falling. The cold wind penetrating the curtains and the indifferent attitude of everyone made Uchiha Mizuki sleepless.
He came outside the tent and looked at the dark sky in the rain.
The night was so dark that it looked like the dirty hearts of those politicians.
He knew that in such a meaningless power struggle, many people would die in vain, but there was nothing he could do.
What they are about to face is a battlefield, and everyone may die...
