In a house in the ruined village, with an area of dozens of square meters, it was used as a temporary war meeting room.
The room was simply cleaned, but there was only a wooden table and a few wooden chairs.
Tsunade, Orochimaru, Sho Sho, and Jiraiya were exchanging information here. There were at least dozens of ninjas around the house, on the roof, under the eaves, and outside the window.
No one could get close to this place, and even if they passed by, they had to take a detour.
"What's the situation now?"
The dim light emitted by the lamp shone on Tsunade's pretty cheeks. In front of her, there was a sheepskin map with intricate lines and dots.
Each of those lines is the route that Konoha's Shinobi took after the start of the Second Shinobi World War. As for those points, they are the places where Konoha's Shinobi fought with other countries.
"Two days ago, the day after I sent the information back to the village, Iwagakure launched an attack on us, but I repelled them." Jiraiya said.
Sho Sho nodded, and Tsunade said, "What we met just now was Iwagakure's Jonin."
"You met Iwagakure's intelligence gathering personnel?"
Jiraiya didn't look surprised when he heard this. Iwagakure's best Ninjutsu was Earth Release, and there were Ninjutsu that could pass through their defense line. Even if they set up a barrier, it would be meaningless in such a long battle.
"I dealt with them." Sho Sho said lightly, his tone was not worth mentioning.
"The information you sent back seems to mention that in addition to Iwagakure and Sand, you also met a small group of Kumo Shinobu?" Tsunade asked Jiraiya.
"Yes, but they didn't seem to be coming for us. The last time I met Kumo Shinobu was a month ago. They seemed to be fighting with other ninjas from other villages, and I happened to meet them and dealt with them." Jiraiya said.
"Is that so …" Tsunade seemed to think of something, looked at Sho Sho, and said, "Speaking of Kumo Shinobu, I heard that you fought with Tsukuyomi from Kumo Shinobu and defeated him several times."
Tsunade said with a hint of admiration. Although she didn't fight with Tsukuyomi, the latter was quite famous in the Shinobi world. He was one of the strongest ninja in Kumo Shinobu.
"A very tricky guy." Sho Sho commented.
Orochimaru, who didn't say a word on the side, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, the three people who carried out the mission with you are here now."
The Tang No Guk mission involved a lot of things, so many details of the mission were known by Jiraiya and the other two.
The three people who carried out the mission, Watanabe Jun, Watergate Minato, and Uchiha Yan, all came to the Rain Country battlefield as reinforcements.
"Yes, if it weren't for them, I'm afraid it would have been very difficult for me." Sho Sho smiled, then looked at Jiraiya and said, "Thanks to Jiraiya for teaching such a good apprentice."
Jiraiya heard this and chuckled, his face was full of pride.
"This guy is not in the village. He said that he is his teacher, but in fact, he didn't teach anything." Tsunade looked at the proud Jiraiya and rolled her eyes.
Jiraiya's face suddenly changed.
"As a teacher, you actually took the initiative to let a ten-year-old disciple participate in this kind of war, you are really competent."
Tsunade continued, her face was a little unhappy, if it weren't for her relationship with Watergate, she might have been able to make Nobunaga stay in the village.
The battlefield is too dangerous, and his strength is too weak.
Jiraiya, of course, didn't know where Tsunade's resentment came from, he smiled awkwardly and said, "It is because I am his teacher that I understand Watergate. For the current him, blindly practicing is not enough to make his strength improve again."
"Only the sharpening of life and death can make him grow again."
"So, in order to compete with you, Uchiha Hai also brought Uchiha Yan to the battlefield?"
Tsunade said. Uchiha Hai is the patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, and his status here is no less than Jiraiya.
Watergate's participation in the war was requested by Jiraiya to Hokage-Sama.
Uchiha Yan was also asked by Uchiha Hai to come.
"Those two little guys have been competing since the Ninja Academy. I believe Uchiha Hai also knows this. I have also seen the boy named Uchiha Yan, his talent is really good, even better than that guy's child, Uchiha Fugaku." Jiraiya commented, he has also seen Uchiha Yan several times.
When Watergate and Uchiha Yan fought for the first time in the Ninja Academy, he came to mediate.
"So, war is a tragedy for others, but for Watergate and Uchiha Yan, it may be an opportunity."
Sho Sho said, he also agreed with Jiraiya's idea.
...
War is a crisis for these geniuses of Wood Leaf, but for countless families in Amegakure, it is a turning point that changes their destiny.
Amegakure, somewhere in the village.
Corpses were everywhere, and the blood mixed with the rain seemed to have dyed the ground red.
In a house, two Wood Leaf Ninjas looked at each other, their eyes fluctuating.
Not far from their feet, there were two corpses, a man and a woman, their eyes were frightened, and even their mouths were open.
They seemed to be shouting something when they were alive, but they were killed before they could realize it.
In the corner, a thin figure squatted there, his body trembling violently.
Red hair covered his cheeks, and his expression couldn't be seen, but from the trembling of his body, one could imagine the sadness and anger in this child's heart.
"We didn't mean to …"
One of the Wood Leaf Ninjas said. They were separated from the main force in the last battle. They wanted to come to this village to find some food, but when they arrived, the village was already deserted.
It wasn't easy to find a house with people. As soon as they came in, a man rushed toward them crazily.
They thought that it was an enemy ninja who hadn't gone far, but when they easily killed him, they knew it was him.
The man wasn't a ninja at all, but a villager.
He and his wife just wanted to protect their child.
The Wood Leaf Ninja stepped forward and was ready to comfort the child in front of him.
"Ah!"
At this time, the child who was trembling in the corner suddenly stood up and screamed crazily.
Just as the child was about to rush towards the two Konoha ninjas like a madman, a huge Nepenthes plant emerged from the ground in the corner.
The Nepenthes opened, and a pink gas diffused directly and then enveloped the child.
After the red-haired boy was shrouded in the gas, he directly fell to the ground.
The two Wood Leaf Ninjas moved quickly and covered their mouths and noses.
"Whoosh!"
However, at this time, vines suddenly spread out from under their feet, and then quickly tied the two of them.
In front of the two, the Nepenthes slowly emerged from the ground and finally opened. In front of the two of them, a pure white person appeared.
"You are …?"
Before the two of them could speak, the vines that tied the two of them grew barbs and cut their throats.
Life quickly disappeared in front of their eyes, but the person didn't seem to have any emotion. Instead, he looked at the red-haired boy who fell to the ground and said in a very obscure language.
"Uzumaki … Clan … Descendant …?"
