Konoha is also very enthusiastic today

??

The eighth year of the Konoha calendar is the end of autumn.

On behalf of the Hidden Leaf Village, Konoha declares war on the entire Fire Nation.

At eight o'clock the next morning, Konoha announced to the entire population via wireless broadcast that the entire village had officially entered a state of war.

All entrances to the outside are closed, and the confidentiality of the Hidden Leaf Village barrier is raised to the highest level.

All active ninjas must unconditionally accept the dispatch of the high-level management of Konoha Village, and obey orders as the first priority.

The wartime curfew policy has been fully implemented in Konoha Village, and the level of patrols in the village has been increased. Any villagers who wander outside after the curfew time will be severely punished.

At the same time, the wartime supplies stored in Konoha Hidden Village will be opened to frontline ninjas first.

.........

Government orders came one after another, and tight security was maintained. Just listening to the cold and mechanical female voice on the radio, the villagers felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on their hearts, making them unable to breathe.

What is a "wartime state"?

war.Most people are familiar with this term.

After all, they had just crossed over from the Warring States Period to peace, only eight years ago.

As the clear female voice from the radio echoed in the house, the villagers could not help but feel a sense of fear in their hearts.

Ninja is better.

As ordinary villagers, the mentality of the villagers was the most broken. When some women heard the news, they couldn't help hugging their children tightly and sobbing softly.

People have been devastated by the war, and this word has left an indelible shadow in their hearts.

So much so that when they heard that the war was coming, they did not even have a trace of optimism, and what was left was as desolate as frost and snow.

It’s only been eight years.

Could it be that the tragic scenes of the Warring States Period, in which corpses littered the fields, blood and fire flew, and people were separated from their families and abandoned their homes, will be repeated again?

Is the so-called peaceful era just a flash in the pan?

"Are we going to fight again?"

"When will the fight last again..."

"Are you going to requisition our food?"

The entire Konoha Hidden Village seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds. People in the streets and alleys had sad faces. When meeting acquaintances, the first topic of conversation was about the upcoming war.

Driven by people's inner sorrow and panic, rumors spread everywhere. People whose minds were occupied by fear lost their most basic judgment and spread rumors, constantly amplifying the rumors, further intensifying the negative emotions of the people.

Fortunately, ninjas and ordinary people lived together in the village, and ninjas often patrolled the village. It didn't take long to find out the origin of the rumor.

However, it is no longer important to investigate who started the rumor, because the vast majority of the people have already believed it. Rather than pursuing responsibility, what is more important now is——

Konoha sighed, stabilizing people's hearts is still the first priority.

"At noon today, all villagers will be notified to go to the Hokage Tower Square."

For the planning and construction of the administrative center, Konoha drew on the experience of modern social science, built a podium in front of the Hokage Building, and designated a large area as a square for holding important events.

In this situation, the credibility of radio broadcasts is obviously not as exciting as giving a speech in person.

Konoha has never regretted her decision to declare war, even if she knew that her own way - even with the unconditional support of her family, it would cause great controversy among the major ninja clans in the village.

People's hearts are like this. When they have never tasted the taste of peace, they would rather die than form an alliance, thinking that doing so would mean letting go of hatred and betraying their ancestors.

However, once their hearts have been corrupted by the tranquility of peacetime and they have become accustomed to this stability, when war breaks out again, they will be the ones who jump the most fiercely.

it's fine.

Konoha was so confident that he didn't take the turmoil in the village seriously.

Firstly, she knows what kind of reputation and status she enjoys in Konoha Hidden Village. Although personality worship is not good, it is really useful at times like this - she does not see those who oppose jumping fiercely, nor Do you dare to start with her?

Secondly... they just haven't "enlightened" it yet.They were frightened by the word war and did not think deeply about the meaning of this war. It was completely different from the history of wars in the past that could be traced back 1000 years.

Doesn't Konoha still understand what they are worried about?What they are afraid of is not the war itself, but the impact it will have on their lives, making it difficult to transition from luxury to frugality. What they are worried about is whether the war will destroy everything they have finally obtained.

Just pop these worry bubbles one by one.

Konoha organized a village-wide speech.

It is noon when the sun is strongest.The late autumn afternoon takes away the burning sensation of hot summer, and instead dispels the cold that threatens people in this season of winter.

The bell rang at noon, and Konoha picked up the loudspeaker equipment and added some chakra to ensure that his voice could be heard by everyone.

Before speaking, she looked down from the high platform, and her excellent eyesight allowed her to capture many familiar faces.

Uchiha Madara was on the left side of the crowd, and he noticed her gaze keenly. He raised his head, raised a slight smile, and nodded to her.

Compared with his best friend, Senju Hashirama's movements were much larger. He showed a bright smile, raised his arms and waved twice. The cuffs of the light-colored Senju family uniform, because his movements were all He couldn't help but slip a few points.

A familiar feeling of helplessness arose in Konoha's heart, accompanied by a sense of vitality like the first snow melting and new buds emerging.

They really didn't have any doubts at all...about the fact that she had once again introduced "war" into the world.

What a heavy trust, but it also makes people feel infinite strength.

In addition to the two of them, Konoha also saw two uncles.

Uchiha Izuna was standing next to his brother. He had his arms folded, his posture was leisurely, and he was whispering something to Uchiha Madara.

Senju Tobirama's expression was as cold as ever, and he stretched out his hand to pull Senju Hashirama down, warning him not to be too showy.

Uzumaki Mito led a group of red-haired tribesmen and stood at the back of the crowd with a smile. She crossed the long distance and met Konoha's eyes at one point.

Her smile became a little more lively.

"Miss..."

Someone came up beside her and gently reminded her to pay attention to the time. Konoha nodded to show that she understood.

Under the effect of the loudspeaker equipment, Konoha's voice echoed throughout the square.

"First of all, I want to ask everyone, what are you afraid of?"

.........

In modern society, there was a huge disaster that swept the world in the twentieth century. At that time, a great man who left history stood up and left such a famous saying that is now well-known to every household.

[The only thing we fear is fear itself. 】

Of course, the current situation cannot be compared with modern times on earth, but the fear of people's hearts has always been the same.

She changed her usual gentle image and started asking aggressive questions.

"What are you afraid of? What are you not willing to lose?"

"Is it the bread that satisfies your hunger? Is it the fresh milk you can drink every day? Is it a stable job, the stable reality that you get paid for your work? Is it the clothes that can keep you warm? Is it the clothes that can keep you warm? Will your coal not be corroded by the cold even in the twelfth lunar month of winter?”

"If you are afraid of these, clinging to everything you have, like an animal protecting its food, you would rather die than let go."

"I will put your worries to rest."

"I will promise in the name of Konoha: During the war, I will not let the flames of war sweep into every plant and tree in Konoha Hidden Village, and I will not let you be affected in the slightest. Your food will not be reduced because of this, you Your salary will not be reduced because of this, and the things you should have will still be yours. I will not use your needles and threads on the pretext of war. I have other sources for all the materials."

This was the purpose of her desperate efforts to open up the territory of the Land of Thunder in the past two years.

Now that there is such a large territory, as her backup support force, why should Konoha continue to focus on the "mosquito meat" of the villagers?

And she also stepped up her efforts to organize manpower and built four space-time teleportation arrays on both sides of the village and the Kingdom of Thunder territory. The 2.0 version of Thousand Hands Tobirama's Flying Thunder God has fewer restrictions and a wider teleportation range, making up for the two places. Traffic loopholes!

Konoha said these words at the beginning, which undoubtedly gave the villagers a reassurance.

She saw that the crowd immediately returned to calm after a brief commotion, and countless pairs of eyes stared directly at her, waiting for her next words.

However - Konoha's expression turned cold, his voice lowered, and under the influence of the amplification, the strong wind blew like ice and hurt their eardrums.

she questioned.

"Are you satisfied with this?"

"[As long as your own interests are not harmed, everything will be fine] - If you don't talk about it, don't look at it, pretend it doesn't exist, and don't hear what's happening outside the window, you will focus on your own one-third of an acre of land in this life. Everyone present, Are they all such short-sighted people?"

This map cannon bombardment made everyone's heads buzz.

They looked stupidly at the black-haired girl on the high platform, wondering why the eldest lady seemed to have completely changed after not seeing her for so many days.

"It's not that you haven't experienced it, it's just that after you escape that sea of ​​suffering, you won't be able to empathize with the people who are still struggling in the sea of ​​suffering."

"Can you still recall what it felt like to have an empty stomach and be burned by hunger? There are countless people in this world who are suffering from this pain. However, they are not lucky enough. No one can save them until they die."

"I can't save everyone. No one can."

"But I'm at least trying to change this damn world!"

Konoha's tone suddenly became louder.

"Change the world in which people are destined to suffer from birth, and the reality in which people at the bottom will be oppressed and exploited by the people at the top throughout their lives! Open your eyes and watch carefully. Aren't there enough tragedies? How much more do we need to accumulate? Cold bones, how much innocent blood must be shed before you can fully wake up?"

"When are you going to stand up?!"

"No one is born a slave, and no one is born qualified to oppress others. Kingship is not granted by God, but by the people!"

"If your bones are not soft yet, stand up! Take back the freedom, human rights, equality that should belong to you, and the dignity of living in this world with your head held high!"

"If you are confused, then I will pull you along."

"This is why I started the war, this is why I started the war - to make your voice heard on the world stage."

"There is no history to refer to for this war, because it is different from any other war before!"

"It's not for those in power to compete for power, compete for interests, annex weak countries, and occupy territory. It's for ourselves and for each of us."

"If your bones aren't soft yet."

"Stop kneeling and stand up!"
