As soon as he arrives at the Hokage Office, Kuroto discovers that the place is filled with ninjas. At a rough count, there were over 100 shinobi from the upper chunin class to the jonin elite.
‘The fact that Hokage-sama summoned so many elites shows that the seriousness of the situation is beyond doubt.’ – Kuroto thought inwardly as he walked to where Class-11 was.
Guy greeted with his usual cheerful attitude and asked, “Why can it be late? We have been waiting for you to come long enough.”
Kuroto did not explain that she was from the Deathly Forest, and instead asked, “Is there any information why Hokage-sama called an emergency call?”
However, no one seemed to realize the reason and shook their heads negatively.
There was nothing clear about the exact reason for the emergency call.
At this time Shisui suddenly spoke, “Could it be related to Stone Village?”
“The most liked.” – is Kakashi's answer.
The fight between the Konoha Class-11 and the Stone Beheading Forces in the Bear Country gives Stone Village the perfect excuse to cause trouble for the weakened Konoha, therefore the four Class-11 shinobi have been psychologically prepared for the upcoming battle.
Due to the password issued, Class-11 did not address this topic anymore but was redirected to casual chat.
Not long after, Hokage-sama, Mitokade Homura, and Utatane Koharu of the Konoha Council along with the head of the Ino-Shiko-Cho Clan, and Hyuga Hizashi of the Hyuga Clan appeared, one after another.
With the arrival of Hokage-sama, the place immediately became quiet as everyone could judge that the matter was serious from the serious expression on his face.
Hokage-sama took a step forward and announced to the ninjas present, “We have received news from the border about 2 hours ago, according to news of the Cloud Village raid party had broken through the Fire Nation border about 3 days ago.”
Suddenly hearing such shocking news, the silent meeting place suddenly became extremely noisy.
The news of the Cloud Village surprise attack reminded everyone present here of the Third Shinobi War that had ended not too long ago.
And everyone could not help but shudder at the thought of that terrible war. There were too many painful memories attached to it, no one present here wanted to experience such a thing again.
However, Class-11 was more surprised than surprised.
Guy muttered, “Isn't that Stone Village, why does Hokage-sama call Cloud Village?”
Kakashi also frowned, “This is really no good!”
Shisui also whispered, “Shouldn't Cloud Village and Rock Village join forces, right? If that happens.”-she does not finish her words, nor is there a need to finish it, because everyone knows that if such a thing really happens, it is not, it is almost impossible for Konoha to resist a combined attack, and in that case, Konoha may not even exist anymore.
However, Kuroto shook her head negatively, “Everything will not be so bad. Remember, the third Raikage died at the hands of Rock Shinobi! So how could Cloud Village agree to form an alliance with Rock Village? Not to mention if they did, Stone Village would not trust the Cloud Village. So, even if Stone Village had some plans to attack Konoha, Tsuchikage would choose to watch Konoha and Cloud fight while waiting for a suitable opportunity to attack both villages simultaneously.”
This is not just Kuroto's speculation, but because he was reminded of the information that even in the original series, Konoha and Cloud did have some small-scale conflicts after the third shinobi war.
Later, when the representatives of Cloud Village came to Konoha to sign a peace treaty, the Head Ninja in charge of the mission was killed at the hands of Hyuga Hiashi.
It was also the incident that led to the sacrifice of Hyuga Hizashi.
Therefore, Kuroto thought that even if the conflict against the Clouds might not be on a small scale, it should not develop to the level of an actual war involving several villages.
After hearing Kuroto's analysis, everyone from Class-11 thought about it and thought it made sense, which greatly relieved them.
Hokage-sama who was standing on the stage raised his hand to calm the discussion on the ground, and then said with a serious expression, “Based on the current information, the commander leading the Cloud Village forces is Jinchuriki Hachibi, who is the leader of the Cloud Village, Killer Bee along with 3 heads. ninja as well as Jinchuriki Yugito Nii of Nibi are part of the attacking unit.”
Hearing that the village of Clouds had sent both of their Human Column Troops at the same time, the Konoha shinobi in the field were angry and worried.
Seeing that everyone was a little demoralized, Hokage-sama ordered in an undeniable tone: “You all present here will form an advanced team responsible for preventing the invasion of Cloud Village!”
“Ya!”
The Shinobi of Konoha seem to have recovered the confidence from the majestic voice of Hokage-sama and bowed their heads respectfully.
Both Nara Shikaku and Hyuga Hizashi soon appear and accept Hokage-sama's appointment.
Finally, after a last look at everyone, Hokage-sama said, “Anbu stay, rest will return and prepare to leave!”
“Ya!”
…… wills ... wills ... wills……
With the order of Hokage-sama, the Shinobi group left the place one after another with a quick body blink.
Now there are only Hokage-sama and two elders of the Konoha Council, as well as 16 Anbu ninja, including Class-11 who are part of Kuroto.
At this time, Hokage-sama took out four scrolls from Mikado Homura's hand and handed one of them to each captain, with the command, “Tasks all of you are recorded in the scroll. This time Konoha's safety is at stake, you must put all your effort into it!”
The 16 Anbu kneeling in front of Hokage-sama replied in unison, “Be assured Hokage-sama, we will definitely complete the task!”
Sandaime-sama nodded: “Class-11 stay behind, rest for preparation!”
With a quick bow again 12 Anbu disappeared with a quick flickering of the body.
…… wills ... wills ... wills……
Now with only Class-11 left, Hokage-sama takes them to the Hokage office.
After turning on the tobacco pipe, Sandaime-sama slowly said, “According to the regulations, it is only allowed to apply for advanced Jutsu after serving for 1 year in the department. However, this time considering the difficulty of the task is very high, I give special authorization to all of you to apply to learn advanced types of Jutsu. ”
The authorization here only applies to Kuroto, Guy, and Shisui.
As for the 11th Class Kakashi captain? He was already an old man in the Anbu Black Ops, so Hokage-sama's words weren't for him.
Kuroto did not expect such a benefit to appear, so after pondering for a moment, he asked, “Hokage-sama, Jutsu what rank can we apply for?”
While playing with the tobacco pipe he replied, “Some Rank-A and most Jutsu Rank-B allowed.”
After Kuroto heard Hokage-sama's words, she thought again…
The Land of Fire and the Land of Rain
A Konoha message-sending eagle swept through the valley as it flew towards the interior of the Rain Country.
The messaging eagle is specially trained by Konoha. The celestial being, was not only capable of flying far away but was also fearless among most creatures, with almost zero natural enemies.
Konoha's last attempt at emergency information transmission.
The same eagle was now crossing this border when suddenly a shuriken was fired out of nowhere, and accurately hit the message-sending eagle on a high-speed flight.
Bangs…
The messaging eagle suddenly fell from the sky on a high mountain cliff.
At this moment, the air around the high cliff where the eagle fell was distorted into a vortex, and a mysterious man wearing a one-eyed spiral pattern mask walked out from there.
The mysterious man casually picked up the dead message eagle, unrolled the small scroll at its feet, opened it to look at it, and suddenly spoke while laughing heartily, “Darling once the Hokage, he said, looks like Jiraiya can't receive emergency news!”
And it was only with the release of a small flame that he burned the eagle and the scroll and disappeared mysteriously without leaving a trace of its existence.
