Wood Leaf, in the Hokage's office.
The three advisors, along with the Flying Ape, sat around drinking tea.
Sarutobi Asuma, as the Hokage's secretary, and Nara Shikaku, as the Hokage's advisor, accompanied him.
At this moment, the entire Wood Leaf was under martial law.
Although the pedestrians on the street seem to be no different from the past, there is a dignified atmosphere in the air unconsciously, and many ninjas are guarding the entire village.
"Today is the scheduled meeting time, but according to the information, except for the Rain Country, Sakura Shinobu, and Kirigakure, no other forces responded to the Akatsuki. I don't know what they will do."
Putting down the teacup, the Flying Ape glanced at the information on the table and said calmly.
He seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be asking the opinions of the several people present at the moment.
"Sakura Shinobu, Kirigakure, and Rain Village, this kid is not as reckless as we thought. According to the geographical location of the Land of Snow, he should start with Iwagakure of the Earth Country. After all, it's just next door."
Utatane Koharu said without raising her head. Her expression was calm, and her tone was calm, without a trace of worry.
"There's a high possibility that they'll directly take out the nearest enemy, but Onoki from the Earth Country is not to be trifled with. Maybe they'll be defeated in the first battle." Homura Mitokado was also very optimistic.
In order to strengthen the village's strength and deal with the possible rebellion and riots of the Nine Tails Column Force, the Wood Leaf's top officials restarted the research of Edo Tensei and Hashirama's cells.
It was as if God was helping them. In a short time, they not only completely perfected the Edo Tensei, but also made great breakthroughs in the research of Hashirama's cells by referring to the data left by Orochi Maru.
Therefore, these old men, whose strength had declined due to old age, also recovered their peak strength because of the vitality and Chakra brought by Hashirama's cells.
With their strength returning to their peak state, coupled with the many powerful ninjas who had died for Konoha through the Edo Tensei, Konoha would be able to survive.
Even the First Hokage and the Second Hokage are like the pillars of the sea, powerful existences that can easily change the situation of the battle, this gave the Flying Ape and the others great confidence.
At this moment, the higher-ups of Wood Leaf no longer saw Naruto as a threat.
Especially after Naruto declared war on the entire ninja world, everyone didn't take Naruto seriously. Maybe Wood Leaf didn't even need to make a move, that kid would've already been killed because of public anger.
At that time, Wood Leaf would only need to take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits.
"I never thought that I would be able to witness the rise of Wood Leaf in my lifetime," the Flying Ape muttered to himself with a smile on his face.
Danzo didn't speak, but deep in his heart, he had the same idea.
Just looking at the Flying Ape, Danzo sneered in his heart, "Just wait, when these clowns are dealt with, it will be your turn, the position of Hokage will belong to me after all."
Only Shikaku looked at these Wood Leaf higher-ups with complicated eyes and didn't speak.
He participated in the development of Hashirama's cells and Edo Tensei. Although he was only assisting most of the time, he also knew how much these two research results have brought to Wood Leaf.
If it was before, then Shikaku would've thought that Wood Leaf would still win like before.
But this time, he wasn't optimistic.
"You don't even know what kind of opponent you are facing. That kind of existence has lost its meaning. Even if the First Hokage and Second Hokage come back to life, can they really be their opponents?"
"After all, there is only one God of Shinobi, and Naruto and Sasuke are two people."
Shikaku sighed in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
At this moment, he was ready to die generously, let these ignorant people be happy for a while and face reality later.
"Urgent information."
At this time, the door of the Hokage's office was pushed open and slammed heavily on the wall.
The loud sound made the Wood Leaf higher-ups unhappy, and just as they were about to scold the person, everyone was stunned.
The person who pushed the door in was Wood Leaf's Jonin Konoha. He looked panicked and said loudly, "Reporting to Hokage-Sama, urgent information, a large number of ninja troops have appeared in the Land of Fire."
"They are well-equipped, wearing armor, and holding sharp weapons in their hands. Each of them has Chakra more than the level of a Chunin. Their combat ability is also very strong. Preliminary judgment is that they are not inferior to a Tokubetsu Jonin, and there are more than 50,000 of them!"
"These troops have now been dispersed to various fortresses throughout the Land of Fire, and more than 20,000 troops are converging towards Konoha!"
"The above information is all from the elite perception team on the front line, and it is absolutely true and reliable."
Yamashiro Konoha loudly recounted the information he received, and his eyes were full of fear.
At this time, several people present, from the Flying Ape, to Danzo, Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and Sarutobi Asuma, including the actor Shikaku Nara, were all stunned.
50,000 ninja troops?
And all of them have the strength of a Tokubetsu Jonin?
Even if you count the Ronin, the retainers of the Daimyo and the nobles, and all the ninjas of the underground world, there are more than 50,000 Tokubetsu Jonin level experts?
And now, so many experts are coming towards Wood Leaf?
"Are you sure you are not joking?"
Danzo rushed over and grabbed the information from Yamashiro Konoha's hands. Although Yamashiro Konoha had emphasized that the information was true and reliable, he was still shocked at this time.
They used the Edo Tensei to resurrect a lot of Wood Leaf ninjas, and most of them were Chunin and above, but their numbers were not as good as the White Zetsu army rushing towards Wood Leaf.
How can they fight this?
"Is this the confidence of Column Force to challenge the whole world?" Mitokado Homura didn't know when the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, but he didn't care, and his face was full of fear.
"Don't panic, we still have the First Hokage-sama."
Sarutobi's face was also twitching, he didn't expect that the kid he watched grow up to be so patient, he was able to gather such a huge army without saying anything.
At this moment, although Flying Ape was very reluctant, he had to bring out the name of the First Hokage to stabilize the morale of the army.
However, the effect wasn't very big.
"Long time no see, Sandaime Hokage-sama."
Before the leaders calmed down and thought about what to do next, a familiar voice sounded.
Everyone subconsciously looked at the voice and saw a blond figure wearing a black robe with red clouds appearing out of thin air.
