Master, please become the Hokage

But there is more than one way to obtain the Eight Gates.

If I could find a way to ask Might Dai for help, maybe...

The three of them were thinking different things.

Outside, some Anbu ninjas rushed in hurriedly.

"Hokage-sama, this is bad...the defense line of the eastern Fire Nation has been breached!"

"What?!" Utane Koharu was the first to stand up, shocked and angry.

"Lord Koharu, Karutagi Yagura led the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and the Kirigakure army and attacked our hinterland like a broken bamboo..."

Anbu personnel reported the tragic battle situation on the front line.

Why did Kirigakure suddenly break through the defense line?

Is that a roll of the eyes?

This is the only possibility.

The Hyuga clan lost their Byakugan, and the people of Kirigakure took advantage of it.

The Byakugan's 10km insight range allows them to grasp all the movements of both the enemy and our side.

That's why they are so unstoppable.

"Withdraw immediately! Preserve as much combat power as possible!" Utane Koharu shouted.

"Sakumo, the three of you go and provide support immediately. Do your best to rescue those who are retreating..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was concerned about the fugitives.

I hope Hatake Sakumo and the other two can go to the rescue.

Saving one is saving one.

......

After receiving the order, the three people quickly set off and headed for the territory of the Fire Nation.

This time the war spread to the homeland.

Kirigakure gathered a large army and landed from the ruins of the Land of Whirlpools, destroying many defense lines along the way. They have now begun to penetrate deep into the ambush of the Land of Fire.

Many Konoha ninjas set out and rushed to the front line.

Among them, Sarutobi Ryo saw a familiar figure.

"Mr. Dai..."

"Master Liang." Matt Dai was worried because his son Akai was on the front line over there.

so......

"Don't worry, let's go find Kai together." Sarutobi Ryo comforted Might Dai.

Speaking of this, Sarutobi Ryo couldn't help but think of this time in the original work, which was almost... the time when Might Guy was executed...

Chapter 69. Might Dai's Entrustment, What is the Will of Fire?

The inland of the Huoqian country where it is rainy and cloudy.

It was raining continuously.

On the coastline, a group of people quietly visited.

Leading the group was an old man with long gray hair.

He closed his eyes tightly, and the traces of time were left on his face.

Dozens of Anbu were guarding him carefully around him.

"Lord Mizukage, the road ahead has been cleared..."

The ANBU captain came over and said to the Sandaime Mizukage.

He didn't know what the Mizukage was going to do, he only knew that he suddenly mobilized the Anbu and prepared to go somewhere in the "Land of Grass".

Is there anything there?

The ANBU captain was confused, but he never dared to doubt the Sandaime Mizukage's intentions.

Because those who disobeyed have all died.

Although the Third Mizukage has begun to age, the strength he represents from the Warring States Period to the present is simply not something that others can contend with.

"Um......"

The Sandaime Mizukage nodded.

Yagura led the Seven Men and a large army to break through the coastline border of the Land of Fire.

Cleared the way for your own actions.

The Land of Grass...Uchiha Madara...

A flash of red flashed in the Sandaime Mizukage's eyes.

That was the light of the Sharingan illusion.

As Madara grew older, he was no longer able to move.

Therefore, in order to make the weakened illusion last, the Third Mizukage needs to go to the Land of Grass in person and accept Madara's illusion again.

"Let's go."

The Sandaime Mizukage took a step forward.

The group headed to the Land of Grass...

......

Swish!

The team moved forward in the woods.

Matt Dai's speed was getting faster and faster.

This meant that he was becoming increasingly anxious.

There were sporadic companions who kept fleeing back from the front line.

The intelligence we learned from them also showed that the situation was becoming increasingly cruel.

Akai...

I haven't seen my son Akai for a long time.

According to insiders, the last time they saw Kai, he was with his two teammates... Ebisu and Shiranui Genma.

Three little children got lost from the main group.

That situation was inevitable. After all, they were the disciples of the Third Mizukage... the Seven People led by Karatachi Yagura and the Kirigakure army.

Their attack resulted in a crushing defeat for Konoha.

The ferocious and reckless offensive made people wonder whether they were going to completely occupy the interior of the Fire Country and use it as an extension of their front-line base.

Soon, Yamanaka Hui and the Umino couple could no longer keep up with the team.

Only Ryo Sarutobi was still chasing.

As for Liuli, she did not participate in this operation and seemed to be unwell.

After what happened with Hinata, she finally needed to adjust her mood and take a break.

The team moved on.

Because they set out at night, by dawn they had already arrived in the heart of the Fire Nation.

Along the way, we continued to collect intelligence.

In the end, the fragments of information from all the companions were connected to prove one thing.

Akai and the other two are in great danger.

It is quite difficult to find the three children in the vast Fire Country.

But the father and son were of one mind. Might Dai, relying on his longing for his son, actually managed to deduce Akai's location based on the comprehensive intelligence.

By the time Sarutobi Ryo and Might Daiben walked into a forest, Yamanaka Kei and the others had been completely left behind.

Swish!

The two stopped at a big tree.

By chance, I met a wounded person.

The injured man was a ninja from the Yamanaka clan. He was holding his abdomen and suffered some injuries.

"Master Liang, Akai and the other two are in that direction, cough cough cough..."

He pointed out specific directions for the two of them.

Looking up, I saw startled birds flying into the blue sky.

Although I couldn't hear the sound of fighting at such a long distance, I knew that there must be some extremely powerful people gathered there just by seeing the unusual movements of the large number of birds and beasts.

who is it?

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen?

Or... Jinchūriki?

Sarutobi Ryo decided in his heart that no matter what, he should go and investigate immediately.

So, Sarutobi Ryo created a shadow clone and let the clone take the wounded away.

The main body is preparing to continue on the road with Might Guy.

"Master Liang." Might Dai hesitated for a moment, ready to use that move.

"The situation is unclear right now, Mr. Dai, don't be impulsive..." Sarutobi Ryo knew that Might Dai was going to use the Eight Gates.

"..."

Matt Dai shook his head and smiled.

The unusual movements of birds and beasts explain everything.

Ninjas in the blood mist are generally bloodthirsty.

Everyone made no secret of their cruelty.

Because this is the only way to survive in the blood mist.

So...the more powerful the ninja, the stronger the murderous aura he releases.

Such a sudden movement could only be created by the combined efforts of at least several members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

If it was a stealth mission, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen would definitely put away their murderous intent and be cautious.

But now that Konoha has been defeated, they are invading on a large scale and there is no need to hide it.

so......

We all understand, Master Liang.

Might gave Sarutobi Ryo a look like this.

"The First Daeme once said..."

Might Dai still remembers the experience of meeting the Shodaime Hokage when he was a child.

After all, Might Dai is about the same age as Hatake Sakumo.

That is to say, it is bigger than Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

When Tsunade was a child, she was spoiled by the first Hokage.

Given Might Guy's age, he must have seen the first Hokage.

"I still remember the teachings of the First Daeme-sama..."
