The two Hatake brothers, who were Chunin in title and elite Jonin in strength, wiped out a 90-man ninja brigade led by 7 Jonins. This was impossible no matter how you looked at it.
Even if it was Sarutobi Hiruzen in his prime, he could do it, but the price he paid would definitely be very high.
But look at Hatake Akira who is standing opposite Sarutobi Hiruzen now. Apart from being a little listless, there are no obvious scars on his body. Apart from some dust on his clothes, there is not even a drop of blood!
Even if you're killing a pig, there'll be some blood stains on your body, right?
What's more, the group that was wiped out by Akira Hatake and Kakashi was a full-strength ninja brigade of 90 people. They were human beings, powerful ninjas who knew how to hide, fight back, and fight to the death!
boom!
Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table and stood up from the chair. He pointed at Hatake Akira with his right hand holding the pipe, his face very gloomy.
"Hatake Akira! This is no time to joke around!"
"I'm not kidding." Hatake Akira looked calm. "Although it's hard to believe when I tell you, Kakashi and I did it. And as long as we ask the ninjas from the interrogation team to take away the head of this Jonin, we can naturally prove whether what I said is true or not."
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen fell silent, then picked up his pipe again and took a deep puff.
"Ming, if the facts are different from what you said, do you know what you will face..."
Seeing Hatake Akira's firm attitude, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little more trust in him, but he still felt it was too outrageous, and he couldn't help but want to verify it again.
"I know, but what does this have to do with me?" Hatake Akira answered slowly, "What's fake won't be real, and what's real won't be fake. What I said is the truth!"
"Someone come here." After taking a deep look at Hatake Akira, Sarutobi Hiruzen called for help.
"Lord Hokage!"
"Take this scroll to the interrogation squad and have them extract all the information from it as quickly as possible."
"My subordinate understands!"
The members of the Hokage Guard came like the wind and left like the wind, taking away the sealing scroll that Hatake Akira had placed on the table.
All that remains is to wait for the results.
With Sarutobi Hiruzen's direct orders, the interrogation team's work efficiency was surprisingly high, but the intelligence information they extracted from the heads of the Sand Village's jonin still overturned their three views.
In four minutes, 80 mid-level and low-level ninjas were eliminated. In three minutes, seven high-level ninjas with good coordination and strength were eliminated...
How is this possible!
Not believing in evil, he once again squeezed out the remaining information from the head of the Sand Village's senior ninja, but the information he got the second time was exactly the same as the first time.
The members of the interrogation team were still somewhat suspicious, and they subsequently conducted a comprehensive examination of the head to see if someone had tampered with the brain.
But the result was still the same. There was nothing wrong with the head of this senior ninja who had been dead for less than 20 minutes.
But then, all the members of the interrogation team began to look at each other in confusion.
"As far as I know, the border is more than 80 kilometers away from the village, right?"
"That's right..."
"This Sand Village jonin died within 20 minutes, isn't that correct?"
"That's right..."
"If I'm correct, then... someone took about 15 minutes to travel at least 80 kilometers from the border back to the village."
"Although I don't want to admit it, all the information points to this fact..."
"Collect the intelligence information and send it to Lord Hokage." He instructed a ninja from the interrogation team, then looked at one of the members of the Hokage's guards, "But I want to ask, who is the person who achieved this miracle?"
"The eldest son of the Hatake family, Hatake Akira."
This kind of thing could not be kept secret, and Sarutobi Hiruzen had not stipulated that information about Hatake Akira could not be revealed, so the members of the Hokage's guard revealed the information without hesitation.
"Hatake Akira... Hatake Akira, the disciple of Minato Namikaze?"
"Correct."
"If he is a disciple of Minato Namikaze, then there is basically no possibility that this miracle is fake." The jonin of the interrogation class sighed, "Flying Thunder God Technique... It is really a miraculous ninjutsu."
……
After waiting for half an hour, the Hokage Guard members returned to the Hokage's office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took the document handed over by the Hokage's guard and flipped through it impatiently.
As the papers turned, Sarutobi Hiruzen's frown gradually relaxed, but his upper and lower jaws also gradually opened slightly.
Hey.
With a slight sound, the pipe in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth fell onto the table.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen was unaware of this and instead quickly flipped through the document in his hand again.
"Alas! I am old..."
After a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to normal, picked up the pipe that fell on the table without any expression, and put it back into his mouth.
It was just a sigh, but it betrayed Sarutobi Hiruzen's true thoughts deep in his heart.
"Konoha is lucky to have such an outstanding rising star like you!" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Hatake Akira with a sharp gaze, "Akira, among all the people I have ever met, your talent is definitely in the top three!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen praised him generously, "The information you provided is completely true. I will record your achievements in the book. Moreover, your information has saved too many ninjas in Konoha!"
"This is my job." Hatake Akira remained calm, like a wooden man.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't think there was anything wrong with Hatake Akira's reaction. Instead, he looked at Hatake Akira with even higher regard.
But appreciation is appreciation, praise is praise, but what happens next does not require Akira Hatake's participation.
"Ming, go home and have a good rest. You won't be able to participate in what happens next."
"I understand, Hokage-sama."
Nodding, Akira Hatake turned and left. The moment he closed the door of the Hokage's office, Akira Hatake disappeared instantly.
After Hatake Akira left, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became gloomy again.
This was not because of Hatake Akira, but because the information in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hands was as heavy as a mountain at this moment.
"I made a stupid decision..."
"But there is still a chance to make amends. If we send troops to the border to provide support now, it should still be in time..."
After muttering a few words, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately convened a meeting of Konoha's high-level officials.
There was naturally no other possible outcome of the meeting, but Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi had a disagreement on the issue of the commander of the Konoha Ninja Force.
Danzo Shimura wanted to lead the Konoha ninja troops to the border for support personally.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen would never agree to let Danzo take charge.
As for the reason, it is naturally because Sarutobi Hiruzen does not want Danzo Shimura to gain more merit and reputation through this war.
"Disagree? What qualifications do you have to disagree?"
Shimura Danzo slammed the table again, "If it weren't for your previous wrong decision, the ninjas stationed on the border would never have suffered such heavy casualties, and the Wind Country would never have spread the war to our land!"
This was something that Sarutobi Hiruzen could not refute. It could be said that this was the first time he was at a disadvantage in a public confrontation with Danzo Shimura.
But even though Sarutobi Hiruzen is at a disadvantage now, his prestige has suffered a blow because of his previous wrong decisions.
But the Hokage is still the Hokage, and the power of speech in his hands is still ridiculously great, especially in times of war, this power will inevitably be strengthened.
After a heated exchange of words, Danzo Shimura saw that he was about to be suppressed by Sarutobi Hiruzen through the power of Hokage, so he decisively took a step back and recommended Orochimaru, with whom he had established a close cooperative relationship.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also took the opportunity to agree to it.
The meeting is now over.
At the same time, Konoha during the war demonstrated their strong mobilization capabilities.
In less than an hour, the Konoha Ninja troops, which had been prepared for a long time, began to mobilize on a large scale, and a large amount of war supplies were also shipped to the front line. The Hidden Leaf Village, the violent organization of the Land of Fire, began to operate at full speed.
The all-out war between the Fire Nation and the Wind Nation has officially begun!
Chapter 113: Red Sunset’s Gift.
The large-scale personnel transfers within Konoha Village naturally could not be hidden from the eyes of spies from various hidden villages.
The various intelligence collected was passed on in different ways, but because of this, many hidden spies were captured by the ninjas of Konoha's Anbu and Konoha's Root.
It is impossible to be gentle when dealing with spies from other villages, but these are matters of the interrogation team and have little to do with Akira Hatake.
Akira Hatake and Kakashi were not sent to the front line.
The same goes for Minato Namikaze.
One day after the Konoha Village ninja group set out, Hatake Akira and Kakashi were summoned by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
When he pushed open the door and entered the Hokage's office, Hatake Akira saw many familiar faces.
Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, Tsunade, Hiashi Hyuga, Fugaku Uchiha...
These are the people that Hatake Akira could name, and the rest, some of whom he was not so familiar with, were all the heads of the Konoha Ninja Clan, or ninjas holding important positions.
After waiting for a while, when the three advisors of Konoha, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and En Mito Kado, arrived, Sarutobi Hiruzen cleared his throat and prepared to start.
"According to the information sent by the intelligence personnel, the Iwagakure Village in the Land of Earth, the Kumogakure Village in the Land of Lightning, and the Mistgakure Village in the Land of Water have all taken action one after another."
With a solemn expression and a low voice, Sarutobi Hiruzen sucked hard on his pipe, "This is a more dangerous situation than the last Ninja World War. We are likely to be besieged by the four major countries at the same time!"
"And the reason I called you here this time is to assign specific arrangements for the other three strategic defense lines."
As he spoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly pulled down a large map hanging on the wall, on which the attack routes of the hidden villages belonging to the four major countries were marked.
"According to the information sent back by the intelligence personnel, the Land of Earth has completed the occupation of the Land of Grass, and the ninja troops that attacked the Land of Taki in two directions should be able to occupy the Land of Taki soon."
"Like the Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning has also taken action. Its troops have already entered the Land of Hot Springs, and there is a high possibility that they will continue to advance and invade our territory."
"So I decided to send a ninja force of 1300 people to defend the area near the border of the Land of Hot Springs to prevent the troops of the Land of Lightning from invading Konoha."
"Then, Jiraiya, you will be in charge of the ninja garrison on the northeastern border of the Land of Fire. Is that okay?"
"No problem!" Jiraiya nodded.
"In that case, Namikaze Minato, Hatake Akira, and Hatake Kakashi are at your disposal." After seeing Jiraiya nod, Sarutobi Hiruzen directly assigned the three generals to Jiraiya.
After a day and a night of fermentation, the story of the brothers Hatake Akira and Kakashi working together to wipe out a large group of ninjas had spread throughout the entire Konoha Village.
