The Wood Leaf village under the cover of the night was no longer as peaceful as it used to be. Everywhere in the village, the ninjas who weren't on a mission outside were all gathered in the central Naruto Building.
Under this atmosphere, the air gradually became cold …
Naruto Building.
In front of the building, there were people who arrived one after another, and finally, a large number of people gathered there.
And these people were, without a doubt, ninjas.
The ninjas stood in their positions neatly, some of them looked worried, some of them were whispering to each other, but without exception, their faces were dignified, and under the dim moonlight, most of them looked sad.
On the Naruto Building, there were more than a dozen people standing there.
Rustle!
Until a moment, several footsteps were heard on the Naruto Building.
Although for ordinary people, this sound is almost negligible, with the hearing of ninjas, it's enough to hear it.
So many ninjas raised their heads, and several figures appeared in front of everyone.
Impressively, they were the leaders of the Wood Leaf village.
Utatane Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and even Danzo, who was in charge of the root, were among them.
Among the three of them, there was the Third Naruto Sarutobi.
And the biggest difference between these four high-level officials of Konoha and the usual is that they are all wearing combat uniforms.
Sandaime's face was heavy, he glanced at the Wood Leaf ninjas, and then said: "Now, I want to announce something to everyone, you should already know about it."
This time, all the ninjas looked over and held their breath.
"That is, the war between the major ninja countries has broken out again!" Sandaime said in a deep voice, he didn't like to fight, but at this point, for the benefit of the country and the village, he had no choice.
Many of the Wood Leaf ninjas heard this, although everyone already knew about this news, when it was really announced by Sandaime, it still caused many people's eyes to shrink.
"Many years ago, at the end of the last war, I took over the position and responsibility of the Wood Leaf village from Naruto, he entrusted everything to me, so I, Sarutobi, no matter what price I have to pay, even if it means my life, I will protect the peace of the Land of Fire and the Wood Leaf village!"
"And I believe that as a Wood Leaf ninja, you also have the same consciousness!"
Sandaime didn't have much to say, because he believed in these ninjas who grew up.
After he finished speaking, many of Konoha's ninjas didn't exclaim loudly, because war isn't something to be celebrated.
Voices don't represent action, and the ninjas who are ready to die are extremely calm.
However, Sandaime was able to see the determination in each and every one of their eyes.
"Very well, then … I announce the start of the Second Shinobi World War!"
Sandaime said, and then in front of the many ninjas, each group leader received the corresponding task.
They contacted their team members, then without saying much, they turned around and left.
Whoosh!
For a while, there were many ninjas galloping on the streets of Wood Leaf village, with some ferocious look in their eyes.
However, they tried to avoid ordinary people, so as not to create panic.
The Shinobi World War is a war between ninjas, it has nothing to do with civilians, and the Wood Leaf ninjas are fighting a bloody war, they don't want ordinary people to suffer.
However, that's only relative.
For the civilians of a country that has been reduced to a battlefield, stability and safety have become an extravagant hope.
Watergate was in his room, looking at the many Wood Leaf ninjas rushing to the battlefield, he sighed.
After this war, how many of these ninjas will survive?
And in that small country called Country of Rain, how many families would be torn apart?
But in a different position, although Watergate expressed regret, he still won't go easy on the Rain Ninjas on the battlefield.
This is like the question Jiraiya -sensei asked him, what is the answer that can't be found easily?
Perhaps, fundamentally, the existence of the Ninja System is a contradiction.
...
When the ninjas in front of the Naruto Building dispersed, the Uchiha Clan on the edge of Wood Leaf village also gathered together.
"As an Uchiha Clan ninja, we are not allowed to retreat on the battlefield, we must let all enemy ninjas know that as long as the Uchiha exist in Wood Leaf village, we are inviolable!"
The Uchiha Clan's patriarch opened his eyes, and his originally black eyes suddenly became scarlet, and there were three tomoe slowly rotating in them.
Sharingan!
"Inviolable!"
Many Uchiha ninjas were the same, their Sharingan was revealed, and only a few of them had three tomoe, and they were the true elites of the Uchiha Clan.
Most of them only have one Tomoe, but even so, the Uchiha Clan with the Sharingan is a terrible opponent for any ninja of any country.
In the corner of this gathering place, Uchiha Yan, who was hiding there, clenched his fists tightly.
His eyes flashed with surprise, Uchiha Yan knew that the Uchiha Clan and the village were not on good terms, but when it comes to war, everyone put aside their past prejudice.
Because the Uchiha Clan is also the Uchiha Clan of Wood Leaf village.
Among the crowd, a boy with two tomoe Sharingan, about fourteen or fifteen years old, glanced at the direction where Uchiha Yan was hiding, and then looked back again.
"Come with me!" After that, dozens of Uchiha ninjas left under the lead of the Uchiha Clan and entered the battlefield first.
...
After the end of the gathering, the boy came to a courtyard of the Uchiha Clan, walked to a door, stopped for a moment, and then knocked on the eaves.
"Whoosh!"
The door was opened, and a girl appeared in front of the boy, she had a very beautiful face, but at the moment, her brows were slightly wrinkled.
"Fugaku -san?" When Mikoto saw the person who came, she was surprised, but the worry between her eyebrows was relieved a lot.
"Mikoto … Tomorrow I will go to the battlefield, so I came to say goodbye to you."
Fugaku directly said the purpose of his visit, in fact, he came this time just to see the girl.
Because he didn't know if he could come back alive from the battlefield.
"Yes." Mikoto nodded, but the sadness and worry in her eyes couldn't be concealed.
Fugaku also nodded and turned to leave.
"You must come back safely!" At this time, the girl's voice came from behind him.
Fugaku heard this, and a smile appeared on his face, as long as she said this, it was enough.
"Yes!" He didn't look back, but he answered with a heavy voice, and then disappeared under the night.
He knew that after he left, the students of the Ninja Academy will probably graduate and go to the battlefield.
Although they are weak in combat, at most they will be responsible for some logistics tasks, but on the battlefield, who can guarantee that they will be safe?
"You must be safe too, you must!"
Fugaku said in his heart, the reason why he didn't tell Mikoto about this is because he wanted her to spend the last night in peace.
However, who would be able to sleep tonight?
