Hokage: I really don't want to be a traitor

"Quick, the west side is attacked by a large number of ninjas from Sand Ninja Village, please support!"

"The east side is taking on a lot of offensive pressure, and there are no other free manpowers. You guys hold on."

"Sir, a huge monster appears in front of us, and we can't hold it back!"

……

Half an hour later, the entire Konoha was plunged into a war crisis.

As a large number of Suna Ninja Village ninjas and Sound Ninja Village elites joined the attack one after another, Konoha, which had previously been in a one-sided state, also came under tremendous pressure.

The ranking among the five major ninja villages is just a very delicate balance.

Although Konoha is apparently the most powerful among them, with years of peaceful development, Suna Ninja Village's military strength is not weak.

There is not a very big gap in conventional ninja power. Only at the tailed beast level, the one-tailed one in the Sand Ninja Village is inferior to the Nine-Tails in Konoha. In addition, there are fewer shadow-level strongmen in the Sand Ninja Village than in Konoha. Some.

That's why there is such a ranking.

But in this battle, neither side invested anyone above the elite Jonin level, so it ended up so far.

It was still a battle between some jounin and chuunin.

Konoha does not have a particularly big advantage in this regard.

In addition, Suna Ninja Village does not respect martial ethics, so Gaara, the one-tailed jinchūriki, was the first to join the battle...

Almost only momentarily.

The front side of Konoha collapsed instantly!

At the same time, Konoha Hokage Building.

"How's the battle going?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was standing by the window, did not always pay attention to the front line. Instead, after exhaling a puff of smoke, he asked Nara Shikaku next to him in a slightly tired tone.

"The situation is a bit pessimistic."

"Currently, both the east and west sides are under huge attack pressure. Since the north is the back mountain of Konoha, no enemies have appeared yet."

"But a few minutes ago, a jinchuriki figure appeared in front of the gate of Konoha. We..."

After telling Sarutobi Hiruzen about the current battle situation, Nara Shikaku's slightly calm face also looked helpless.

It can be said that Konoha was prepared for this battle in advance.

Except for the genin who were taking the exam and the civilians who had no fighting ability, almost all Konoha ninjas participated in this battle.

But the combined forces of the Sound Ninja Village and the Suna Ninja Village were too numerous, plus the sudden appearance of the One-Tail Jinchūriki.

The originally very delicate defense balance was instantly broken...

"Did you lose?"

Looking at the worried Nara Shikaku behind him, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly asked.

"It's not a defeat, it's just that the frontal defensive position has been broken through by the One-Tail Jinchuuriki, and now the war has spread to Konoha Village..."

After telling the general situation, Nara Shikakuyu continued: "The ones responsible for the frontal defense are the ninjas of the Hyuga clan and the Akimichi clan, plus some ANBU ninjas, but now among these two families Most of the ninjas have lost their combat effectiveness and have requested support many times, but we have no follow-up power..."

"Deploy the elite Jonin."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't sit still. After throwing the pipe in his hand on the table, he immediately said seriously: "Ask Kakashi and Metkai who are in charge of the west to increase the number of people immediately. , all the remaining members of the Konoha Guard will join the battle, and we must stop the combined forces of Suna Ninja and Sound Ninja that are pouring into Konoha!"

"But……"

"Once this follow-up power penetrates into the battlefield, Konoha will have no defensive capabilities whatsoever!"

Nara Shikaku looked nervous when he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's order in front of him.

Although Konoha is still safe for the time being, and the war is only on the border of Konoha, this does not mean that Orochimaru will not have other means.

The remaining members of the Konoha Guard were originally used to defend Orochimaru.

Once they are all released...

Except for the Hokage and Lord Jiraiya, there are almost no ninjas in the entire Konoha Village who can join the battle!

"No, I object to this order!"

After pondering for a long time, Nara Shikaku, who was Konoha's military advisor, directly refuted the order of Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him!

Even if he is Hokage.

"I understand what you are thinking..."

"But once the frontal enemy enters Konoha, our village will definitely suffer a lot of casualties. In comparison..."

"I have to take a gamble!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not blame Nara Shikaku, but stated the reason why he did so...

"Even if these reserve forces are sent up, they won't be a match for Ichibi..."

tailed beast.

The top power in a village.

It is equivalent to a nuclear bomb in a modern battle array...

Against a monster of this power, ordinary ninjas have no effect at all. Even using the human sea tactic cannot stop his attack.

The only solution is to use a tailed beast of the same level or a shadow-level powerhouse.

Only then can we fight against it...

But in the entire Konoha Village, except for the Third Hokage and Lord Jiraiya, there is no one else who can match the One-Tail Jinchuuriki.

And Konoha's Nine-Tails is still inside Uzumaki Naruto.

Release the Nine-Tails to fight the One-Tails?

It's not that Nara Shikaku has never thought about this idea, but he gave up the idea in an instant.

After working with the Third Hokage for so many years, Nara Shikaku could guess what the old man in front of him was thinking even if he didn't say it.

He would never let Naruto forcefully turn on the nine-tailed beast to fight!

"Let Jiraiya go."

After thinking for a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen came up with a solution.

"But……"

Seeing this, Nara Shikaku wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Sarutobi Hiruzen!

"Perhaps Jiraiya has other uses in this situation, but we can only let him go."

"Then you, my lord, are the only one left in Konoha..."

Nara Shikaku is obviously a little worried!

"Don't worry, this guy Yunxi is still in the village."

Suddenly, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, and after a relaxed smile he murmured: "I believe in this child..."

"Yunxi?!"

Nara Shikaku didn't know that Yun Xi and Sarutobi Hiruzen had reached some kind of deal. After hearing the name, Nara Shikamaru was also a little surprised on his face.

"Don't worry, you don't need to ask more about this matter, just do as I say."

Realizing that Nara Shikaku behind him wanted to say something else, Sarutobi Hiruzen took the lead in interrupting him, and then sat quietly on his desk, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I understand, Hokage-sama, I'm going now!"

Things have developed to this point, Nara Shikaku didn't say anything more, but immediately gave the order of the Third Hokage!

At this point, Konoha has officially invested its first Kage-level combat power!
