Konoha's Five Attributes Ninja

Chapter 168 State of War

Ye Shan frowned, took a few steps back with slight disgust to avoid the spurting blood, and was very satisfied with the reactions of the many frightened onlookers. He had been annoyed with these people for a long time.

It sounds strange, the ninja world has a very high level of technology, at least modern products such as walkie-talkies and televisions have been born, but its social system is still stuck in the old era.

The head of a country is the daimyo, who has numerous lords under him. These people divide up the land, leaving only tenants for the common people, so they naturally live in poverty. In peacetime, it is still okay, as the common people can do some small business or odd jobs to make a living. Once the Ninja World War breaks out and falls into chaos, their survival becomes a problem. Let's not talk about the distant past, just take the Rain Country as an example. The nobles of this country are living a life of luxury, and ordinary people have problems with food. Many people starve to death on the roadside, which makes Ye Shan, who considers himself ruthless, feel sorry for it.

But there is no way. In front of the ninja, the resistance of ordinary people is like paper, which will be shattered at the slightest touch. Improving the system through rebellion is not advisable unless a top-down revolution occurs.

But the ninjas are busy scheming against each other, so how can they care about the lives of civilians?

Therefore, Ye Shan has always hated the nobles, and felt that they were the biggest borers in the ninja world. As a well-educated young man, Ye Shan naturally couldn't stand it. Why are some people born superior? Why are some people born with privileges? This is unfair, very unfair, otherwise how could he grow from a common ninja to the powerful position he has today?

Now the outbreak of the Ninja World War is imminent, and these ignorant creatures are still jumping around in front of him. Can Ye Shan tolerate it? The answer is no.

"Come here, stop looking, it's you."

Ye Shan pointed at a fat, fair and tender man and motioned him to come over.

The man's fat body was shaking uncontrollably, and he looked extremely terrified. He didn't know how he had offended the God of Killing. He forced out a smile that was uglier than crying and slowly took a few steps forward: "Sir, I am willing to go, I really am willing to go."

Ye Shan patted the fat on the other person's face with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm a good person."

"Yes, yes, the Lord is a good man."

"Then why are your legs shaking?"

"what?"

The man's legs were not only shaking, he felt that all the bones in his body were shaking, and beads of sweat the size of beans filled his forehead. However, as the leader of the caravan, he was naturally quite resourceful, at least he was good at flattering people.

"Your Excellency is so majestic. I, a pig-dog, am honored to have such close contact with you. I... I am shaking with joy."

Ye Shan was immediately happy. Although the other party's flattery skills were much worse than Uchiha Keiji's, he didn't flatter the horse's hoof at all. Besides, he didn't intend to kill him.

"In that case, I have something I would like you to do."

"Sir, please tell me what you want. I will do it even if it means going through fire and water."

"It's not that serious." Ye Shan said with a smile: "Did you see that round head?"

"I saw it."

"You can find a bamboo pole to pick it up, and then carry it around the city. Easy, right?"

The man swallowed hard. He was scared to death but he didn't dare to disobey Ye Shan's orders. After all, his life was in the other's hands.

"Don't worry, sir. I promise to complete the task."

Ye Shan smiled with satisfaction, patted his chubby cheeks again, and then left instantly.

This is what is called killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. In troubled times, severe punishments should be used. Kikyo Castle must not be lost before the arrival of Konoha's reinforcements. It is better to disperse these burdens early, otherwise once the battle starts, they will all be lambs to be slaughtered.

From another perspective, Ye Shan did this for their own good.

At the same time, the huge conference room of Konoha Village was filled with ninjas attending the meeting. Although it was late at night and the Hokage summoned them hastily, they were still dressed neatly. Except for Jiraiya, the unkempt guy who did not wear a protective guard, the other ninjas were all dressed in formal attire.

Just after twenty minutes, Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared in the conference room on time, wearing the Hokage's divine robe and a Hokage hat. However, he did not hold the pipe that he usually smoked. He looked quite serious, which made the ninjas present feel a chill in their hearts.

There is no need to elaborate on the hand seals and salutes. Over the years, Sarutobi Hiruzen had long lost the sense of ritual he had when he first became Hokage. His mind was now full of how to lead Konoha through this crisis, so he did not give a long speech, but came straight to the point.

"According to a joint report from Kikyo Castle's commander Nara Shikatsugu and senior ninja Hakumo Hayama, the Third Kazekage has mysteriously disappeared recently. His death is now basically confirmed."

"The ninjas of the Sand Village are ready to make a move. There is a high probability that a new Ninja World War will break out!"

"..."

Although the ninjas were mentally prepared for what was going to happen, they were still shocked by Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

What the hell? The Kazekage is missing? A Ninja World War? What the hell is going on? Wasn't the Ninja World all good yesterday?

Uchiha Fugaku's expression was extremely interesting. He knew what Yeshan wanted to do by going to the border of the Fire Country. If he didn't know Yeshan very well and knew that the other party was not a brainless person, he would even think that the Kazekage was killed by Yeshan.

WDNMD!

Why does Ye Shan always encounter big incidents wherever he goes?! Is he unlucky once in a thousand years?

Uchiha Fugaku's heart was filled with turmoil, but his face remained calm. He continued to sit calmly in his seat, and even took out his kettle and drank a sip of water with interest.

"Hokage-sama," Nara Shikaku stood up and bowed, "Excuse me, is this news true?"

It's not that he doesn't trust his father, it's just that the matter is too big and it's always better to be cautious.

Sarutobi Hiruzen adjusted the Hokage hat on his head. His voice was low, but it revealed a certain steadiness: "The news is true. I think the probability of war breaking out is more than 70%!"

Everyone was shocked. A 70% probability is approximately equal to a 100% probability. After all, rounding off is common sense.

Many ninjas secretly muttered in their hearts that Baiyun Yeshan was really a jinx and would cause big trouble every time he left the village. Of course, no one dared to accuse him to his face, otherwise the Uchiha clan would not be a pushover, their mouths and eyes were very sharp.

"Everyone, as the Hokage, I have decided that the village will enter a state of war from now on. Do you have any objections?"

Now that things have come to this, everyone present is not a fool, so naturally there is no doubt about it.

The so-called war state was created by Sarutobi Hiruzen at the beginning of the Second Ninja World War. He was very young at the time, and because of the sudden death of the Second Hokage, it was inevitable that some people in the village would not obey his orders, which gave rise to the war mode. Once this mode is agreed by the jonin in the village, the Hokage will immediately have the supreme right to speak, and all personnel transfers, material distribution and other matters are decided by the Hokage, and the rest of the ninjas must obey, and being responsible is considered treason.

It is worth mentioning that the first and second Hokage did not need such a system to implement their decisions. Every word of the two brothers was regarded as a guiding principle by the Konoha ninjas. This was not something that a Hokage who suddenly came to power like Sarutobi Hiruzen could compare to.

Seeing that no one objected, especially the Uchiha clan, Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "From now on, the village will be under curfew to ensure that there are no pedestrians on the streets before dark."

"Is it okay to let the Security Department handle this?"

Uchiha Fugaku stood up and took the Hokage's order neatly.

"Send an envoy to the capital to inform the daimyo of the incident. Mitomon Yan, please go there."

Mito Kado En, who was sitting next to Sarutobi Hiruzen, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and nodded steadily, indicating that he had accepted the order.

"From now on, all the ninjas on the payroll will cancel all their rest and be on standby at all times. Orochimaru, you will be responsible for compiling the personal information of the ninjas and Nara Shikaku, you will assist Orochimaru in completing it."

"Yes!"

"Tsunade, you will be responsible for collecting the information of the medical ninjas, and Jiraiya will be responsible for collecting the information of the sensory ninjas. I want to see the detailed data tomorrow night."

"Utatane Koharu is in charge of preparing the supplies. All supplies must be sorted!"

"......"

Orders kept coming out of Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth, pushing the atmosphere in the conference room to an extremely solemn one.

To be honest, Sarutobi Hiruzen's leadership level is still good. Faced with the sudden war, he was truly organized and remained calm in the face of danger.

This is also the main reason why all the ninjas believe in him. Otherwise, how can a Hokage who is confused and at a loss be qualified to give orders?

When all the orders had been given, Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his sore eyes and stated the most urgent matter at the moment.

"Kikyou Castle is strategically important. You all know this even without me telling you. The first battle of the Sand Village will definitely take place in Kikyou Castle. It will be difficult to defend it with only 300 ninjas like Nara Shikatsugu. We need to send reinforcements in time."

"I have decided to send a thousand elite ninjas to help Kikyo Castle!"

The ninjas were silent, they knew the main event was coming. Supporting Kikyo Castle was inevitable, but who should go was worth discussing, at least they didn't want to be the first to step into the war.

The ninja's war mode is very peculiar. It is often extremely brutal at the beginning, with large-scale battles continuing until one side is exhausted. By that time, the war rhythm slows down, and group army operations will be replaced by squad operations. At that time, infiltration, sabotage, assassination and other methods will become the mainstream, and the survival rate of the jonin will undoubtedly be much higher.

Not many people are willing to apply to go to Kikyo Castle for support, even if they really love the Konoha Village where they were born and raised.

Ninjas who can become jonin are already past the age of passion. They think more about how to survive. Even if they die, they want to die meaningfully, at least not from a missed kunai in a large-scale battle.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had anticipated all of this. In fact, he also knew that the chance of death if he went to support Kikyo Castle now was very high, but there was nothing he could do. War was so cruel that he could not afford to hesitate at all.

"Orochimaru is the supreme commander of the support force. He immediately becomes the supreme commander of the war against the Kingdom of Wind upon reaching the border. Nara Shika is the chief of staff. Shirogane Hayama is recalled to the village for another assignment."

"Of these 1,000 people, I require that 30% be jonin, 50% be chunin, and 20% be genin."

"The Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan, the Sarutobi clan, the Aburame clan, the Nara clan, the Akimichi clan, and the Yamanaka clan account for 50 percent. The remaining candidates will be chosen by Orochimaru himself."

"Let me be frank with you. Anyone who dares to disobey the rules will be blamed for being ruthless!"

Raise an army for a thousand days and deploy it for a moment. Konoha Village spends a huge amount of money every year to train ninjas. Isn't it just for the time of war?

It is not good to live in peace and comfort for too long, as it will cause some ninjas to indulge in pleasure. But it doesn't matter, because when they really go onto the battlefield and see blood, the savagery and bloodiness in the ninja's bones will be activated.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is very sure that by then hatred will push them to step onto the battlefield.

"Tomorrow at noon, I want the ninjas who are coming to my aid to gather together. In three days at most, I want to see you standing on the top of Kikyo Castle!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were powerful. In a state of war, his orders would be carried out meticulously and no one could say no.
