Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

Konoha Village.

Sunlight streamed onto the wide streets.

The once bustling commercial street was unusually quiet at this moment.

Because most of the villagers went to the examination venue to watch the competition.

Those who remained in the village all stopped what they were doing.

They looked up, their gazes passing over the rooftops, towards the Chunin Exams venue.

The Fifth Hokage's voice, amplified by chakra, had just resounded throughout every corner of Konoha.

Abolish the Daimyo!

Unify the ninja world!

Ordinary people may not understand the political maneuvering involved.

But they understood one thing.

Lord Chiba wants to fight his way through and turn the whole world into Konoha.

"Take down those outsiders!"

Someone yelled something at the top of their lungs.

moment.

The whole street was in an uproar.

"Long live the Hokage!"

"Long live Konoha!"

There was no panic.

There was no fear of war.

The ramen vendor threw down his ladle, grabbed a towel, and waved it wildly.

"It should have been done a long time ago!"

"Why should we put up with the humiliation of those powerful figures!"

Several young genin were so excited that their faces turned red, and their fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Since Chiba took power, life in Konoha has changed dramatically.

Learn C-rank ninjutsu for free.

As long as you're willing to work hard on missions, you can easily switch to advanced ninjutsu.

The village is incredibly wealthy, and its people are more confident than ever before.

therefore.

In the eyes of the villagers, Chiba was not a tyrant.

He is the true god who brought unparalleled glory to Konoha!

Other villages?

They're just a bunch of idiots who occupy positions without doing their jobs.

In the alley next to Ichiraku Ramen.

The two spies who had infiltrated from another village were trembling like leaves.

Looking at the Konoha villagers outside, who were caught up in a frenzy, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

crazy.

The entire village, from top to bottom, has gone mad!

……

Conference room on the top floor of the Hokage Building.

The air was so hot it felt like it was about to burst into flames.

The huge long table was crowded with Konoha's core combat forces.

Uchiha Fugaku, Hyuga Hiashi, Nara Shikaku...

The heads of each family were all present.

Outside, a group of impressive elite Jonin stood.

Uchiha Shisui crossed his arms and closed his eyes to rest.

Matt Kai excitedly did squats on the spot, sweat spraying everywhere.

Sarutobi Asuma took a deep drag on his cigarette and stubbed it out in his palm.

Sitting at the head of the long table was Chiba.

He interlaced his fingers, rested his elbows on the table, and quietly watched the howling pack of hungry wolves.

"Hokage-sama!"

An aged voice broke the silence.

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly stood up.

He pressed his hands on the table, his knuckles turning white.

"Please grant permission for the Sarutobi clan to serve as the vanguard!"

The voice just fell.

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

Everyone looked at the former Third Hokage.

Fugaku Uchiha frowned slightly, cursing inwardly at how quick this old fox's reaction was.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't care what others thought.

This was something he had discussed with Chiba long ago.

Once Konoha's wheels crush other countries and ninja villages.

In the future empire, how the spoils are distributed will depend entirely on current military achievements.

The Sarutobi clan has lost the Hokage throne.

If you want a piece of the pie in the future, you have to risk your life for it!

"Sandaime."

"You guys don't get the striker position."

"The Uchiha clan's blades have long craved blood!"

Just then.

Fugaku Uchiha snorted coldly and then stood up.

Since Chiba took office.

The Uchiha clan has finally shaken off the shadow of suspicion.

The restructuring of the police department's power, ironically, earned them the respect of the villagers.

Now is the perfect opportunity for the Uchiha clan to demonstrate their strength to the Fifth Hokage!

"The Hyuga clan is ready to clear all obstacles for the Hokage!"

Hiashi Hyuga then spoke up.

Even the usually lazy Nara Shikaku sat up straight at this moment.

"The three races of pig, deer, and butterfly are ready to be deployed at any time."

Followed by.

Inuzuka, Aburame, Akimichi...

The clan leaders, big and small, rushed to express their opinions.

They were terrified that if they shouted even a second too late, this unparalleled achievement of destroying a nation would be stolen by someone else.

"Youth is burning bright!"

Matt Kai leaped into the air and executed a spinning kick mid-air.

"Kakashi, let's see who kills more enemies!"

Kakashi pulled down his mask and rolled his eyes.

But his left eye, hidden beneath his headband, revealed a chilling murderous intent.

The secret agents are already sharpening their knives.

Looking at his men, their fighting spirit boiling over.

Chiba's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

This is the Konoha he wanted.

They are not sheep that only cower in their enclosures and shout slogans.

Instead, they are a pack of ferocious beasts capable of tearing the entire world apart for him!

soon.

Chiba raised his right hand and pressed it down.

The once noisy conference room fell silent instantly.

"Please sit down."

Chiba's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

Everyone immediately sat down obediently and straightened their backs.

"The large-scale mobilization will not take place today."

"Make your move in three days."

Chiba tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound.

This statement came out.

Everyone looked at each other.

"Lord Hokage, speed is of the essence in war."

"While they are leaderless and still on their way back."

"Wouldn't it be better if we just sent out an assassination squad and killed Onoki and the Raikage?"

Sarutobi Asuma frowned and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Asma is right."

"If we don't intercept them now, they'll escape back to their village to defend it."

"Konoha's casualties will increase several times over."

Nara Shikaku's divine body also leaned forward slightly.

Chiba chuckled softly.

He leaned back in his chair, looking languid.

"Shikaku."

"Your mind is still stuck in the past."

"Assassination?"

"A sneak attack?"

"What I want is not temporary submission."

"I just want to give them time to assemble."

"Let them reveal all the cards they're so proud of."

"Then."

"We'll just crush them head-on!"

"Shatter all their illusions completely, once and for all!"

"..."

In an instant.

The conference room fell into absolute silence once again.

What an outrageous tactical plan!

Abandon surprise attacks and intelligence assassinations, and give the enemy ample time to assemble.

Then, crush the enemy head-on when they are at their strongest!

But these extremely domineering words made the blood of everyone present boil.

Nara Shikaku slammed the dossier shut in his hand and let out a long breath.

"Shikaku understands!"

Within three days.

"All logistical supplies will be transported to the designated border."

"We await your command, sir!"

The heads of all the major families responded in unison, their shouts causing the glass windows to tremble slightly.

Meeting adjourned.

"Go back and reorganize the troops."

Chiba waved his hand.

The crowd retreated swiftly like a tide, each face etched with bloodthirsty excitement.

The meeting adjourned.

The meeting room door was ajar.

Chiba slowly got up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the bustling streets of Konoha.

A moment later.

Very light footsteps came from outside the door.

That was a movement that deliberately suppressed chakra fluctuations.

"Enter."

Chiba didn't turn around, and uttered a single word indifferently.

The mahogany door was pushed open.

Fengying Luosha walked in.

He wasn't wearing the Wind Shadow's hat, and his divine robe was somewhat wrinkled.

Luo Sha closed the door behind him and casually set up a soundproof barrier.

His guilty look, like that of a thief, would surely shock the ninjas of Sunagakure.

The mighty Fengying has fallen so lowly.

But Luo Sha didn't care.

How much is face worth?

Sunagakure was so poor that even buying explosive tags required careful budgeting.

It is precisely because of this.

The other three shadows ran away in a fit of rage.

But Rasa stayed in Konoha and didn't leave.

He was very clear-headed.

run?

Go back to that godforsaken desert to eat sand?

Even Shukaku, the ultimate weapon, couldn't stop Chiba's single finger.

What can Sunagakure use to stop Konoha's military might?
