In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

That was a crushing defeat of strength.

If you put him in front of Tobirama Senju, he wouldn't be able to have any other thoughts.

"Dispatch the ANBU to track down Hiruko's whereabouts. Since he dared to leave his phantom here in Konoha, he must have left a mark. After a careful search, then track him down. We must find out the location of his real body."

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

"Yes, I will dispatch the secret service immediately!"

Nara Shikaku nodded.

"Wait, send the Anbu to the Land of Fire, and inform Ame-no-Mikoto and Tsunade about this in the capital."

The Second Hokage pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Yes!"

Nara Shikaku nodded and left quickly.

After Nara Shikaku left, the Second Hokage instructed the remaining Jonin in the village to be on high alert.

They were under strict control to prevent other villages from attacking them.

After all, Hiruko's words about starting the Fourth Shinobi World War were indeed somewhat disadvantageous to Konoha.

More importantly, Hiruzen called himself a Konoha ninja.

If other countries and peoples use this pretext to attack them, then things will get complicated.

The five major powers at the same time.

Sunagakure (Sand Village).

Granny Chiyo and Maki also saw Hiruko's phantom.

Hiruko's claim that he was a Konoha ninja clearly surprised them.

In particular, the Fourth Shinobi World War should be launched.

This is not a joke.

Once the battle begins, it's unlikely that any of the five major powers will be able to stand idly by.

Whether it's voluntary or involuntary, you have to get involved.

Once the great war begins, every village, whether victorious or vanquished, will likely suffer heavy casualties.

"Grandma Chiyo, could this really be Konoha's declaration of war?"

Maki couldn't help but ask.

To be honest, Maki is very flustered right now; he's genuinely scared.

Konoha has someone like Tengoku, and the First and Second Hokage are still stationed in Konoha.

Even though all the Jonin of Konoha were dead, only the First Hokage remained.

Attacking any ninja village would probably be an easy task.

They were powerless to fight back against the First Hokage.

"No, that Hiruko, I've never heard of him before. And if Konoha were to declare war, it would definitely be Tsunade or Ame-no-Mikoto who would step forward. But now it's Hiruko. I guess this is just a scheme by him to draw all our attention to Konoha, make us go to war with Konoha, and then he can sit back and reap the benefits."

Granny Chiyo immediately revealed Hiruko's thoughts.

"What if it really is Konoha, and they want to start a war?"

Maki continued to ask.

Because they had to prepare for the worst, if Konoha really wanted to start a war, the current Sand Village would definitely not be a match for Konoha.

So they only have two choices.

One village lost all its strength and went to war with Konoha, only to be defeated and its village destroyed by Konoha, while the other surrendered.

He declared his allegiance to Konoha.

They didn't want to make either of these two choices.

"Then let all the ninjas prepare themselves. We will fight to the last man, even if it means death. But before that, send someone to Konoha to inquire about the specific situation. Send Temari. She is Rasa's daughter, so her status is sufficient."

"Grandma Chiyo said sternly."

Grandma Chiyo was willing to compromise and even pay a price to save the village.

However, if it really came to a last resort, Granny Chiyo would rather die than let the village surrender.

"Yes!"

Maki nodded, then went down to instruct the ninjas to prepare for battle, and at the same time to prepare for Temari's departure from Konoha for various matters.

After Maki left, Gaara appeared in front of Granny Chiyo.

"It's fake, this isn't Konoha's intention!"

Gaara looked at Granny Chiyo and said.

Gaara only stayed in Konoha for a few days, but in those few days, he realized that Konoha was no longer the Konoha of the past.

Even though Tenyu is domineering, likes to cheat people, and likes to make exorbitant demands, he wouldn't do such a thing. More importantly, if Konoha were to start a war...

It is estimated that the war was already over the moment it was announced.

They won't have time to react.

“How could I not know? But we must also prepare for the worst. Gaara, you are the last hope of Sunagakure. If this is true, I hope you can lead a group of people away from Sunagakure. With you succeeding as the Fifth Kazekage, as long as you are there, our village still has hope.”

Granny Chiyo said, holding Gaara's hand.

Since Gaara returned to Sunagakure, his personality has changed a lot.

No longer as tyrannical as before, but instead becoming gentle and kind.

Even though the village still had many complaints about Gaara, he endured them.

He repaid the villagers with his kindness.

In addition, Granny Chiyo told the villagers about Gaara's past, and the villagers became more and more accepting of Gaara.

Rasa was Gaara's father, so Gaara succeeded Rasa as the Fifth Kazekage.

This is only to be expected.

"it is good!"

Gaara nodded.

…………

Land of Earth, Iwagakure Village!

"I knew Konoha's true colors couldn't be hidden anymore. I didn't expect them to launch the Fourth Shinobi World War so soon. It really surprises me."

Onoki, the two-day scale, said without hesitation.

"But Father, there might be some misunderstanding. Konoha has never been a warlike village!"

Huang Tu couldn't help but say.

"Hmph, times have changed. Before, there were no outstanding ninjas in Konoha. Even if we wanted to launch a war against other countries, we had no talent to use. But now it's different. Not only did they produce Tengo, but they even brought back the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, from the Pure Land."

"At this point, Konoha's ambitions have probably swelled to an unimaginable level. It's not impossible for them to dominate the ninja world with the help of the First Hokage."

Onoki, the two-day scale, sneered.

But there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

Onoki, a man of two scales, will never forget the sense of powerlessness he felt when facing Madara Uchiha.

It was a feeling as if you were being watched by an evil spirit.

He was completely powerless against Madara Uchiha, and was pinned to the ground by Madara's single glance, unable to move his body.

Chapter 247 War Begins

That life-threatening sense of death was something he would never forget for the rest of his life.

The terror and oppression he felt were only experienced by Madara Uchiha; no one else had ever done it before.

Even now, his strength has reached the Kage level, making him the Third Tsuchikage.

However, he knew that if he were to face Madara Uchiha now, he still wouldn't be a match for him.

If Madara Uchiha was already so powerful, then Hashirama Senju, who was able to defeat Madara Uchiha, was even more so.

In addition, there was the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's Water Release techniques and various secret arts, as well as the assistance of Tengo.

The whole world would grovel at the feet of these three.

“Father, if that’s the case, we should be even more prepared. But before that, let’s send an envoy to Konoha to investigate. After all, if this is just an outsider trying to sow discord, wouldn’t we be falling into their trap if we attack Konoha?”

After pondering for a moment, Huang Tu said.

"Alright, then let's send people to Konoha. Just give the order that the war preparations must be in place. If Konoha makes any unusual moves, strike first and catch them off guard."

"Two-day scales," said Onoki.

"Yes, Father!"

The loess nodded.

...............

The Land of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

"So, Lord Mizukage, should we send troops to Konoha?"

Chojuro stood beside Mei Terumi and asked her a question.

“No need. Kirigakure is surrounded by the sea. Even if they want to attack Kirigakure, they have to cross the sea. That is our natural barrier. If we abandon the natural barrier and send people to attack Konoha on land, it would be putting the cart before the horse. Give the order to put the entire village on martial law. If any Konoha ninjas arrive, arrest them immediately. Also, Chojuro, I hope you can go to Konoha for me and find out what's going on. Konoha doesn't seem like the kind of place that would launch a major war.”

Mei Terumi's eyes also held a hint of doubt.

If this was said by either the Hidden Cloud Village or the Hidden Stone Village.

That's somewhat understandable.
