Naruto's strongest wooden escape

Konoha Village, inside the Hokage office.

On the desk, there are two large stacks of scrolls stacked neatly, and what is written on the scrolls are all the battle reports coming from the front line in the past month.

In front of the desk, the Third Hokage was pacing back and forth in the office with a pipe in his mouth and a sad look on his face.

dong dong dong.

A quick knock on the door brought the Third Hokage back from his thoughts.

"Please come in."

The Third Hokage said with his pipe in his mouth.

The wooden door opened and an ANBU wearing a raccoon mask came in.

"Hokage-sama, the battle report came back from the Western Front." The ANBU ninja said after saluting.

"Western Front?" The Third Hokage asked suspiciously.

For a month, the situation on the Eastern Front battlefield was grim.

Led by the Third Mizukage and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the Mist Ninja army was overwhelming and conquered many territories of the Land of Fire.

However, under the obstruction of Jiraiya and Hatake Sakumo, the Kiri Ninja's progress slowed down greatly.

Therefore, for a month, most of the piles on the desk of the Third Hokage were battle reports from the Eastern Front battlefield.

Compared with the complex situation on the Eastern Front battlefield, there are few battle reports from the Western Front battlefield.

On the one hand, the Sand Ninja army is weaker than the Mist Ninja, and its threat to Konoha is not even half that of the Mist Ninja.Although Sunagakure Village used all its strength to attack Konoha (the Third Hokage could not guarantee the authenticity of the news, so the Third Hokage always believed that this was a trap set by Sunagakure Village), it could still at most be a draw with Orochimaru's army;

On the other hand, not only were the number of Suna Ninjas small (even with all the strength of the village, their number was still smaller than the Mist Ninjas who had backup), but the number of Konoha Ninjas who blocked the Suna Ninjas was also small.Due to Orochimaru's stubborn suppression, Suna Ninja has been unable to cross the battle line even half a step.

After unsealing the scroll, the Third Hokage carefully read the text on the scroll. At the same time, the Third Hokage's face showed an uncertain expression.

"Too nonsense."

Although he said "nonsense", the Third Hokage's face showed a rare smile.

"Sandaime, what kind of battle report has come from the front line?" Mito Kadobu sat on the sofa with a serious look on his face.

"There is news from the Western Front that the Suna Ninja are in a state of collapse." The Third Hokage regained his calm expression, as if nothing had happened before.

"What, the Suna Ninja were defeated?" Even the "old stubborn" Mito Monobu showed a look of surprise on his face.

"That's right, if Orochimaru directs it properly, it shouldn't be a difficult task to completely drive the Sand Ninja out of the Land of Fire." The Third Hokage said slowly, holding his pipe in his mouth.

"Didn't the battle report yesterday say that the Suna Ninja were going to break through the front line, so why were they suddenly defeated today?" After the joy, Mito Kadoen analyzed calmly.

"It's Class [-]." The Third Hokage knocked on the table.

"Class [-]?" Mito Kadoyan showed a surprised expression, "Didn't they go to the Country of Grass a month ago? How come they suddenly participated in the war?"

"I don't know the specific situation. The battle report said that Uchiha Matsuri and Namikaze Minato suddenly appeared in Sunagakure Village, caused a scene in Sunagakure Village, and destroyed all the buildings in Sunagakure Village." The third generation. Naruto explained.

After a pause, the Third Hokage then said: "After learning that the village was destroyed, the Sunagakure frontline hurriedly dispatched two hundred ninjas and rushed back to the village. Orochimaru keenly discovered this change and led the Konoha ninja to break through Sunagakure's defense line. , so that the Sunagakure defense line collapsed."

&n

bsp;"So that's it." Mito Monoyan nodded, and then looked at the Third Hokage, "Sandai, what are you going to do?"

Mito Kadenyan asked, naturally, whether it was necessary to send someone to take care of the four members of the fifth team.

Currently, the four members of the fifth class are in the Kingdom of Wind. Without the support of Konoha, it would be difficult for the four members of the fifth class to cross the battlefield and return to Konoha.

"I'm going to send ANBU to inform the front line and order Orochimaru to immediately send someone to pick up the four members of Team [-] in the Kingdom of Wind." The Third Hokage blew out circles of green smoke, "What do you think?"

"That's it." Mito Kadoen stood up from the sofa and said sarcastically, "Sandai, if you had sent people to retrieve the fifth team before, the Western Front Suna Ninja would never have been defeated so quickly. .”

Unlike Kato Dan, as an advisor to Konoha, Mito Katoyan can understand the difficulties of the Third Hokage.

As a person in power, the Third Hokage naturally considers the overall situation of Konoha.

The four members of the fifth team were in the Kingdom of Grass at the time. Not to mention that Konoha did not have the manpower and energy to find the four people. Even if the Third Hokage sent people to go deep into the Kingdom of Grass to search for the four people, it would be difficult to find the four in such a large country. people.

Two hundred kilometers away.

On the Western Front.

A few kilometers away, Suna Ninja and Konoha's tents stood opposite each other.

Since Chiyo ordered the withdrawal of two hundred Suna Ninjas a few days ago, there were already many fewer tents on the Suna Ninja side.

Konoha side.

Due to the victory they had won in the past few days, everyone in Konoha had smiles on their faces.

"Lord Orochimaru, Lord Hokage has sent an order." As the deputy commander of the Western Front Army, after receiving the order from the Third Hokage, Kato Dan hurriedly rushed into the temporary command post.

In the tent, Orochimaru was sitting on the middle seat. After noticing Kato Dan, Orochimaru put down the scroll in his hand and looked up at Kato Dan.

"What did the old man say?" Orochimaru asked in a hoarse voice.

"Lord Hokage ordered you to send people to the Hidden Valley to assist the fifth team." Kato Dan said.

Old fox!

After hearing the Third Hokage's order, Orochimaru suddenly remembered these three words.

Uchiha Matsuri had made a meritorious service in Sand Hidden Village, and the Third Hokage hurriedly ordered someone to be sent to pick him up.

After returning Uchiha Matsuri and Namikaze Minato, the two of them naturally could not fight on the front line. (Since Sunagakure Village was destroyed by Uchiha Matsuri and Namikaze Minato, Chiyo has already ordered a bounty on their heads. Continuing to stay on the front line will only increase the danger for them)

By "welcoming" the two heroes back to Konoha, and then holding a "triumph ceremony" in a glorious manner, Konoha's image of respecting heroes will naturally be deeply rooted in the hearts of every Konoha civilian and ninja.

At the same time, the Third Hokage's behavior of defying public opinion and insisting on rescuing his own ninja from the enemy country will be widely praised by the villagers of Konoha.

As well as inspiring people, the Third Hokage himself was widely admired by the villagers.This move of the Third Hokage is not very clever.

It can be guessed that if there was no meritorious service in the Uchiha Festival, the safety of the fifth class would have been thrown out of the horizon by the Third Hokage.

"Lord Orochimaru, what are you thinking about?" After seeing Orochimaru distracted, Kato Dan reminded him in a low voice.

"Jan, you have a deep relationship with that brat Uchiha Matsuri, so you should lead the team to carry out this response!" Monster Orochimaru said with a smile.

"No problem." Kato Dan agreed immediately without hesitation.
