A lot of attention fell on Nara Shikaku, who was currently doing the civilian evacuation and coordination work.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Nara Shikaku showed a wry smile on his face.
After thinking for a moment, Nara Shikaku said solemnly:
"Although the gateway to Konoha is important, what is more important now is to clear out all the fog ninja, sand ninja and sound ninja teams around the center of the village."
"After ensuring that the civilians in the rear are safe enough, we are gathering our strength to assist the Hokage and regain control of the village portal."
The calm voice reached everyone's ears, causing everyone present to nod slightly.
Indeed, this is the safest method now.
After all, their various tribes are stationed near the center of the village, and it is in their interest to eliminate nearby threats first.
What's more, the gate of Konoha has been lost, and it doesn't matter whether we go or not now.
As Nara Shikaku's words fell, there was no longer a three-dimensional threat, and everyone began to take action.
Akimichi Choza released the super-doubling technique and suddenly collapsed on the ground.
Nara Shikaku hurriedly walked over and took a look at Akimichi Dingza. He found that it was just excessive chakra consumption, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong, Dingzuo, is there anything?"
Nara Shikaku saw the serious look on Ding Zao's face, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and couldn't help but speak.
Akimichi Dingza put his hands on the ground and took a deep breath: "I feel something is strange."
"Strange?" Nara Shikaku was stunned, not understanding the meaning of Akimichi Choza's words.
"After fighting the Three-Tails for so long, I discovered that the Three-Tails is not a Jinchūriki."
"If it wasn't the Jinchuuriki, with his huge body, how could it suddenly appear in the center of Konoha?"
"Tailed beasts may be able to compress their power, but with the characters of tailed beasts, how could they do this?"
"There is also the person who suddenly appeared above the head of the three-tailed man. Although I don't know what he did, after he appeared, the three-tailed man went in the direction of the gate of Konoha."
Having said this, Akimichi Choza took a breath and looked at Nara Shikaku with a serious face:
"When have you ever seen or heard of tailed beasts obeying humans?"
As Akimichi Dingza opened his mouth, Nara Shikaku's expression became more serious.
This kind of thing is indeed a bit strange, but the current information is too little, even if you analyze it, you can't analyze anything.
Nara Shikaku raised his head and glanced at the surrounding ruins, with a rare trace of worry in his eyes that he had never seen before.
After listening to Akimichi Choza's words, Nara Shikaku had an extremely bad premonition.
Stretching out his hand to pull Akimichi Dingza up, Nara Shikaku said calmly:
"No matter what, we can only do it step by step now. Even if there is really a huge conspiracy, the other party will definitely reveal its flaws."
Akimichi Dingzao nodded, that was all he could do now.
With the departure of the Three-Tails, the Konoha ninjas who had no intention of containing them quickly began to clean up the enemies in Konoha.
No matter how well they were hidden, they were all found one by one in front of the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, the bugs of the Aburame clan, and the ninja dogs of the Inuzuka clan.
Even when the three clans mobilized their full strength, several undercover agents from Yun Ninja Village and Iwa Ninja Village who were hiding among the civilians were also found.
The main battlefield on the other side.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the figure of Sanbi Isobutsu leaving the center of Konoha and running toward the gate of Konoha, the extremely ugly look on his face lightened up a little.
Although Sanbi Isofu still caused huge losses to Konoha along the way, compared with the losses caused in the center of the village, they were completely negligible.
"It seems that the other party has clearly seen the situation at hand and is ready to stick to the door and then make plans?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a low tone.
Although it seems that Konoha is currently at a disadvantage, in the eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen, in addition to the Three-Tails that was wreaking havoc in the center of Konoha just now and Orochimaru hiding in the dark, they are considered threats.
The other ninja troops are not a threat to Hiruzen Sarutobi!
This is Konoha's home field after all.
Whether it was the troops from the Sand Ninja Village or the Mist Ninja Village, the number of people attacked by both sides was ultimately limited, and Konoha had a steady stream of reinforcements.
Fighting a war of attrition on his own territory, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't think he would lose!
Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen fell silent, an ANBU ninja standing behind Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly spoke with respect in his voice:
"Lord Hokage, the battle between the two sides has reached a stalemate. The one-tailed Shukaku is suppressing everyone too much. Do you need me to take action?"
Upon hearing this ANBU's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen came back from his thoughts and glanced at the ANBU ninja behind him, with a kind smile on his face:
"It's Tenzo. I didn't intend to expose you to other ninja villages prematurely."
"But now it seems that other ninja villages regard Konoha's kindness as weakness, and it is indeed time to show Konoha's strength."
As the Third Hokage's voice sounded, the ANBU nodded slightly and was about to move forward.
He stretched out a hand and gently placed it on the shoulder of the ANBU ninja.
The ANBU ninja's body froze. Although he couldn't see his face through the mask, he could feel the confusion of this ANBU ninja.
"You carry the fate of Konoha. Since you have inherited that power, tell the world about it."
"There will no longer be Tenzo in ANBU from now on. Your new name will be...Yamato!"
A unique color and heaviness flashed through Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, but he still wore a kind smile on his face. He reached out and slowly took off the Anbu's mask in front of him.
A man with a somewhat delicate appearance and big eyes appeared in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Yamato looked a little dazed. Apparently, he didn't understand what happened for a while.
New name?
Yamato?
In other words, I am no longer an Anbu hiding in the shadows. Can I stand openly and openly in the sunshine?
Thinking of this, a bright look flashed in Yamato's eyes.
"Go, Yamato!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice spoke again, but his tone was more firm.
At this time, Ichibi Shukaku was pointed in the direction of Sarutobi Hiruzen and fired a wind release!
Wind escape practice empty bullets!
A huge air cannon was spit out and landed with a crash.
Seeing the wind escape attack flying towards the Third Hokage, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on it.
Just when other Konoha ninjas were about to step forward to block it.
