Konoha: Naruto Returns from Sekiro

After realizing that Naruto's departure was a doomed fact, the few of them didn't waste too much time on it.

As Naruto himself said, before leaving, squeezing his surplus labor is the kingly way.

"So? What are you doing?"

Naruto asked as he looked at the table full of food in front of him.

"Extracting your surplus labor? What else can you do?" Yahiko sneered.

"Xiaonan said, I'll put it into practice for you." Nagato put on an apron and put a dish on the table.

It is worth mentioning that Nagato, who has the assistance of the Samsara Eye, has the best cooking skills among them.

"Hey, let me ask, which of you is over twenty?" Naruto's eyelids jumped wildly as he looked at the sake neatly placed on the table by Yahiko.

"Is he still a man?" Yahiko grabbed his neck, and in his soul, he became a giant at this moment.

Naruto:"……"

Perhaps because of their experience as street children, even though they are now in high positions, Yahiko and the others are not in the habit of having one dish for many people like most ninja families.

Compared with one person per meal, they prefer the atmosphere of eating from the same pot.

The dishes on the table are not some extraordinary delicacies, but mostly folk home-cooked dishes, as well as special foods that the three of them studied during their wanderings: salted cuttlefish, fried tempura, miso soup, pickles... and The most important thing is rice.

At the dinner table, no one mentioned the upcoming parting, and there were more chats and jokes.

The separation has long been doomed, and it is better to cherish the time in front of you than to hurt yourself.

……

Konoha Village, Hokage Building.

Even the 'ninja' Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had experienced the second Ninja World War, was somewhat taken aback by the sudden battle.

Although the relationship between Konoha and Sand Yin is not good, it is definitely not the worst among the five great ninja villages.

Especially a few days ago, Konoha was still preparing for the signing of the alliance treaty for the third Kazekage.

All Konoha ninjas, including Sarutobi Hiruzen, believed that in the upcoming Third Ninja War, they would finally not have to fight one against four.

Suddenly, a big black pot was held by Sha Yin.

Assassination of the Third Kazekage?

They are full and feel that there are not enough enemies, right?

Konoha was determined to prove their innocence, but Sunagakure did not give them a chance to prove their innocence. They started a war when they were told to start a war, and attacked the border of the Land of Fire when they were told to attack.

Children fight, and they even threaten a few words verbally...

Konoha became the biggest victim of the Third Kazekage incident.

Although he wanted to complain, the most important thing right now was to arrange manpower to resist the invasion.

"Danzo, you are in charge of the sand hidden side." Third Hokage Hiruza Sarutobi said, looking at his left and right hands.

"In the early stage, we will focus on defense. Let's first look at the situation in other ninja villages."

Defense requires less troops, and Konoha may fight on multiple fronts with other ninja villages at any time. If it is too aggressive in the direction of Sunagakure, resulting in insufficient troops in other directions, it will be great fun.

The situation on the Western Front is complicated. In addition to strength and qualifications, the commander's overall view cannot be ignored. As one of the few people in the village who has the mind of a shadow, Danzo is undoubtedly the best candidate.

"Time is running out, let's gather the team and start now."

"I understand." Shimura Danzo nodded slightly, got up and left.

"Sunagakure has taken action, and Kumogakure probably won't be able to sit still." Koharu said when he went to bed, "Who do you want to go to the north?"

"Oshemaru and Jiraiya."

After moving to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoyan looked at each other and nodded slightly, having no doubts about his arrangement.

Two shadow-level combat powers are enough to deal with Yunyin's group of war lunatics, whether it is defense or offense.

"The rest of Kirigakure..." Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe, "Mito, I want you to go."

"No problem." Mito Menyan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Since the Second Ninja World War, Konoha has lost a lot of high-end combat power due to internal friction.

Fortunately, the family background is still solid, and the cards that can be played are quite sufficient.

"Minato, what are you planning to do?" Koharu asked as he moved to bed.

Minato, who has mastered the technique of Flying Thunder God, can be regarded as the king in their hands.

But the question is, where to fry it?

"Let's go to the Western Front." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook out the ashes from his pipe, "That guy Onoki might make some noise."

"With Tsunade and Danzo here, it should be almost done, right?" Koharu asked when he went to bed.

Sand hidden Chiyo and a group of puppet masters are good at using poison, and Tsunade, who is full of medical ninjutsu, binds Sand hidden front by default.

"Danzo's strength is still a bit lacking. He can't handle Onoki's Dust Release." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.

After working together for so many years, he knew exactly what Danzo was capable of.

At the Jonin level, Danzo might be one of the top ones, but at the Kage level, it's not enough.

"That's right." After thinking about it for a while, Xiaochun and Mitomenyan didn't say anything more.

Dust Dun, who was eliminated by Xueji, is indeed not something Danzo and Tsunade can handle.

"What about Kushina Uzumaki?"

"Let her stay in the village first." Hearing this, Hiruzaru Sarutobi couldn't help feeling a bit of a headache, and said helplessly.

Turning to sleep, Xiaochun and the two looked at each other, acquiescing to his suggestion.

They couldn't find a better way to deal with this girl.

"One more thing, do you still remember Loulan?" Mito Menyan asked.

"That small country in the Land of Wind?" Zhuanzhu Xiaochun glanced at him suspiciously. Is there anything worth caring about in such a small country?

"Not long ago, my informant sent back information that Loulan was suspected to have been captured by Sunagakure and became their puppet manufacturing site." Mito Kadoyan said, "And a considerable scale of puppets has been produced."

"Really..." Turning to sleep Xiaochun nodded slightly, without questioning the authenticity of the information.

We have been working together for many years, and we still have this basic level of trust.

"Who do you think will take care of it?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi thought for a moment and asked.

The puppet masters of Sand Hidden have always been a headache for the major Ninja villages. Unlike Xueji Jijie, puppet art can be widely promoted, and the strength of puppet masters may fluctuate greatly due to operating techniques and puppet manufacturing techniques.

But poison-quenched hidden weapons are equally deadly to lower-level ninjas.

Especially on the battlefield, there is no guarantee that a certain corpse lying on the ground is a puppet in disguise, and when your vigilance is greatly reduced, most ninjas will not be able to stand a poison-enhancing thousand copies from behind.

Such a powerful profession, not to mention other ninja villages, even Konoha has had the idea of ​​plagiarism.

But helpless, some things look very simple, and if you are asked to do it, you may not be able to do it well.

Putting aside the puppet operation skills, Konoha has a lot of weird talents, and there is not much problem in catching up with Sayin.

But the puppet making process is different, and that thing really doesn't mean that you can catch up with it.

Sunagakure has been making puppets since the Second Kazekage. After playing for many years, he reduced the cost of making puppets and popularized them to the public.

If Konoha really wants to study puppetry, a large amount of capital investment is doomed, and this investment will not see a return in the short term.

So after trying for a while, Konoha gave up the idea of ​​copying puppetry.

After all, when your puppet is upgraded to the point where it can be used on the battlefield, Sha Yin will have already figured out new tricks.

When he heard that Saken was manufacturing puppets in large quantities, Sarutobi Hiruzen's first thought was to dismantle this 'arsenal'.

In the Second Ninja World War, many Konoha ninjas died at the hands of puppet masters.

"I want Minato to deal with it. After all, Loulan is located in the Kingdom of Wind." Mito Kadenyan said.

There are also quite a few high-mobility ninja Konoha, but after all, it is the enemy's weapon manufacturing base, so it's really not good if the strength is low.

"Minato is indeed the most suitable." Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed with his suggestion.

It just so happened that Watergate was placed on the Western Front.
