Half a year later, the situation in the ninja world has intensified, and even ordinary villagers can sense that something is wrong.
Just a few days ago, Konoha unilaterally announced that it would restrict the entry and exit of caravans and reduce the flow of people.
Although it was sudden, there were not many voices of opposition, as if everyone had acquiesced.
The atmosphere became visibly tense, and every household was on edge.
The Hokage Building was working all night long without stopping for a moment. Hoshino Kaede was secretly preparing for war and accumulating resources and strength.
If it weren't for him, the next development would be that Konoha would passively attack and fight the Sand Ninja.
But now everything has changed. Hoshino Kaede had already ordered secret developments before the war broke out.
As long as the Sand Ninja dares to invade, they will be dealt a heavy blow.
Just as Konoha was preparing for war, a piece of news suddenly upset everyone's mood.
"The Whirlpool Country is in danger!!!"
Upon hearing the news, Xingye Feng held an emergency meeting to discuss solutions.
Looking at everyone gathered again, Xingye Feng knocked on the table and said seriously:"The Whirlpool Country has been invaded by the other four countries. According to the intelligence, it can no longer hold on."
"As an ally of the Whirlpool Country, Konoha must show an attitude and cannot remain silent and play dead."
The hint was obvious. Hoshino Kaede would not sit idly by and would even take the initiative to send troops to help.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes kept exchanging, but no one spoke.
They all felt that it was unwise to send troops at this time, and it would consume Konoha's strength in vain, and they felt it was not worth it.
But everyone present was smart, so they naturally heard the hint and could not refuse it outright.
Seeing that no one spoke, Nara Shikaichi sighed, feeling helpless and tired.
These people still hold on to their previous ideas. Don't they know that times have changed?
It's not a matter of certain death, why not just say it out?
""Hokage, I don't agree with sending troops!"
Nara Shikaichi made his attitude clear. He was looking at Konoha as a whole.
Even though Konoha was the strongest, rashly sending troops to help would not bring anything back for Konoha.
"The Land of Whirlpools is far away from Konoha, so even if they send troops at this time, it will not change anything, and may even start the Ninja World War in advance."
"This is not worth it for us, and it may even disrupt our plans."
Nara Shikaichi was very resolute, and he made it clear to everyone, explaining the pros and cons.
His words were also what everyone thought, and they couldn't help but nod.
After he finished speaking, they all looked at Xingye Feng again, wondering if Shikaichi's words could change Xingye Feng's mind.
"What about others? Do you have the same idea?" Hoshino Feng asked again, wanting to see if anyone had different opinions.
There was a silence, and everyone remained silent.
At this moment, Hatake Sakumo, who was standing by the window, suddenly said,"Hokage-sama, I think sending someone from Konoha is a good way to have the best of both worlds."
"Hmm?"Hokino Feng motioned him to continue."What do you mean?"
As the head of the Anbu, Hatake Sakumo usually has a low presence and hardly speaks, but no one will ignore him. It's just because he controls the most powerful department in Konoha, and no one dares to underestimate him just because of this.
"The alliance between Konoha and the Kingdom of Whirlpools was a thing during the time of the first Hokage, and it has been like this until now."
"First, if Konoha doesn't send anyone, it will damage Konoha's image and make people think that Konoha is untrustworthy."
"Secondly, judging from the distance, even if we rush to the Whirlpool Country, it will have been destroyed, but Konoha can take over the remaining Whirlpool Clan."
"In this way, the Uzumaki clan will still exist in the world, the covenant will not be broken, and Konoha's strength will increase."
"It can be said that it is killing two birds with one stone, with benefits and no harm!"
Every word that Hatake Sakumo said made Hoshino Kaede happier.
Even Nara Shikaichi didn't expect this.
"What Sakumo said is exactly what I think." Xingye Feng was very pleased. Sakumo's vision was far-reaching, and it really touched his heart.
Everyone looked left and right, and Uchiha Kitajima took the lead in expressing his attitude.
"Konoha should send troops!"
Old fox!" Everyone cursed inwardly, and then agreed, fearing that they were too late.
Nara Shikaichi digested what he had just said, and nodded:"If that's the case, then it would be very advantageous for Konoha to send people."
Seeing this, Hoshino Kaede made the decision directly:"In that case, Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Kitajima will lead the team to the Land of Whirlpools"
"Later, I will write a personal letter for you to take to the chief of the Whirlpool Nation to explain my purpose."
"From what I know about him, he will not disagree when the life and death of the clan is at stake."
Hatake Sakumo nodded and said,"Yes." Uchiha
Kitajima was overjoyed. He did not expect that Hoshino Kaede would let him join the team.
This is a good sign, showing that Hoshino Kaede values Uchiha.
The other families all had envious expressions in their eyes. The importance of this task is self-evident.
But who made him the first to agree?
After the meeting, the two of them galloped, quickly gathered the team, and then headed straight for the Land of Whirlpools.
Hoshino Kaede stood on the top of the Hokage Building, looking at their departing figures from afar, his eyes deep, and said to himself
"I hope the fate of the Uzumaki clan can change."
Then, he turned around and said,"Master's wife has been listening outside for so long, why didn't she come in?"
The meeting just now was missing one person, the one who should not be missing.
Uzumaki Mito walked over slowly, smiled gently and said,"Because I know you won't sit idly by, and the Uzumaki clan will definitely return to Konoha."
Hoshino Kaede laughed and said,"Master's wife really trusts me."
Then, he paused and said,"But the Uzumaki Country will no longer exist in the future."
"Moreover, there won't be any more in the future, you should know this, Master's Wife."
Why did the four major countries attack the Land of Whirlpools? It was for the advanced sealing technique.
In the ninja world, sealing techniques are special, and the sealing techniques of each village are very rare.
Ever since the first Hokage distributed the tailed beasts to other villages, sealing techniques have become even more precious.
The Land of Whirlpools has the most sophisticated sealing technique in the entire ninja world, but its strength is too weak.
Isolated overseas, far away from the mainland, the overall strength of the country is too poor, it is simply a piece of fat meat. It is only a matter of time before it is invaded.
Uzumaki Mito looked gloomy, and sighed,"I have told my father many times to let the tribesmen learn ninjutsu, but the concept is deeply rooted in their minds and cannot be shaken off."
"Having a sophisticated sealing technique but no power to protect it would be a huge disaster for the tribe."
"In the end, it led to the current situation."
Xingye Feng deeply agrees with this. If you want to have an equal dialogue with others, you must have comparable strength.
Dignity is earned through fighting, not blindly tolerating. If the Whirlpool Country does not strive for progress and abides by the rules, its destruction is a matter of time.
Now, it is just a fulfillment of the
"But even though the Whirlpool Country is gone, the Whirlpool Clan is still there, and that’s enough."
Uzumaki Mito was terrified, but also thankful.
At least, the country was destroyed, but the people were still there.
