After Kato Mitsukaze and Jiraiya shared the latest information about the Sand Village, both of them knew the seriousness of the matter. Then the two of them went together to report the latest information to Akimichi Takesui, the leader of the stronghold.
After receiving the report from Kato Mitsukaze, the leader of the Northwest Stronghold's stronghold, Akimichi Takesui, did not doubt the authenticity of the information, nor did he ask him about the specific source of the information. Akimichi Takesui already knew Kato Mitsukaze quite well, as he had been working with him for more than a year.
Kato Mitsukaze was young, handsome, and powerful. His family's secret soul technique was also very mysterious. Other than occasionally slacking off during work, he would never slack off when it came to serious matters.
This was Akimichi Takesui's impression of Kato Mitsukaze after working with him for a year.
Kato Mitsukaze had always been reliable when it came to critical information that could affect the entire war.
Akimichi Takesui did not hesitate much. After confirming that the information was accurate, he sent someone to inform the many Shinobu Kiba in the stronghold and the leaders of the stronghold to hold a meeting. Then he began to issue various mobilization orders in an orderly manner.
In fact, everyone in Wood Leaf Village already had a basic understanding of the situation in the Rain Country. Now that the various forces were maintaining a tacit understanding of restraint, it was just the calm of a stormy year. The real war would come sooner or later, it was just a matter of time.
Wood Leaf Village had already prepared a complete response plan for the war.
Faced with the menacing joint Sand and Rock Ninja forces, the first step Wood Leaf Ninja had to do was to stabilize their position and delay the war within the Rain Country as much as possible.
As for whether the ordinary citizens of the Rain Country would be burned to ashes by the flames of war, that was not something the Wood Leaf Ninja could guarantee. In any case, the fire had already been burning in the Rain Country for a year, and it was just burning a little more vigorously now.
Leaving Jiraiya to wait for orders in Takeshi Akimichi's office, Kato Mikaze hurried back to his office. He didn't need to listen to the next battle plan. Most of the plans were compiled by him and Takeshi Akimichi.
Kato Mitsukaze has more important things to do. He took over the task of delivering information from Akimichi Fetsui and wanted to pass the information of Sand Village back to the Wood Leaf Village. What kind of Ninjutsu can deliver information faster than his Sprite Cultivation?
Well, Wood Leaf Village does have such ninjutsu, but that's not important. What's important is that Kato Mitsukaze misses Tsunade. It's a good opportunity to go back and visit Tsunade's two big white rabbits.
Not to mention that the Soul Doppelgänger can't touch the big white rabbits, just looking at them can relieve the pain of lovesickness for Kato Mitsukaze.
After a while, a light blue soul shadow rose from Kato Mitsukaze's office. The soul shadow flew up into the sky against the continuous raindrops, identified the direction of Wood Leaf Village, and disappeared into the endless rain.
Wood Leaf Village. Just like when Kato Mitsukaze left more than a year ago, snowflakes were floating in the sky.
At this time, the sun has set, and the silver-white reflected a faint white light, making the entire Wood Leaf Village have a different sense of tranquility.
The House of Naruto in the center of Wood Leaf Village was still brightly lit at this time, and the number of Wood Leaf Ninjas coming and going was no less than the number of people during the day.
Although the Second Shinobi World War hasn't broken out yet, Wood Leaf Village, the biggest war behemoth in the Shinobi World, has already started to move slowly.
It's just that Wood Leaf Village, this war behemoth, hasn't fully activated yet.
On the top floor of the House of Naruto, in a medium-sized conference room, Yuanfei RIzhan was still busy. In addition to Yuanfei RIzhan, Shimura Danzo, the two elders of Koharu were also present, and there were also several Shinobu Kiba and a few relatively young combat staff officers.
This is the Combat Headquarters of Wood Leaf Village.
A Wood Leaf Ninja of the Yamanaka Clan, belonging to the Wood Leaf Intelligence Department, was reporting information to Yuanfei RIzhan.
"… In the Northeast border area, there is indeed a large-scale mobilization of Cloud Ninjas. Homura Mitokado asked us to pass the information back to Wood Leaf Village. Homura Mitokado is still on the way, and it is estimated that it will take at least three days to reach Cloud Village."
"That's the situation, Sandaime Sama, and everyone."
The Wood Leaf Ninja of the Yamanaka Clan ended the report of the latest information in the Northeast of Wood Leaf Village.
"Thank you for your hard work, keep an eye on Homura Mitokado's movements, and report the latest news to me as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Sandaime Sama."
"Let's go."
"Then this subordinate will take his leave first."
"What do you think?"
Yuanfei RIzhan, who was sitting at the head of the table, turned around and asked his advisor after the Yamanaka Ninja left.
…
After some discussion, Shimura Danzo was the first to speak: "Hiruzen, Cloud Village can't be trusted easily."
Although Shimura Danzo's words were short, after he finished speaking, he used his bandaged right hand to support his right cheek. Obviously, he was using his injuries to remind Yuanfei RIzhan that they were betrayed by Cloud Village more than ten years ago.
After Shimura Danzo put down his arm, he said: "Now, most of Konoha's forces are deployed in the Northwest of the Land of Fire to guard against the Sand and Rock Shinobis. We should transfer some troops to defend against the Cloud Shinobis in the Northeast."
Yuanfei RIzhan didn't know whether to agree or disagree with Shimura Danzo's words, but then he listened to the opinions of others. Some agreed with Shimura Danzo's words and agreed to send more troops to the Northeast, and some thought that the Northwest should be the priority.
Everyone began to discuss whether they should send more troops to the Northeast of the Fire Country.
Shimura Danzo is a firm fighter of Wood Leaf Village. Except for Wood Leaf Village, he doesn't believe in any other Ninja Village. This is also the reason why Yuanfei RIzhan sent Mitokado Homura to Cloud Village instead of Shimura Danzo.
Yuanfei RIzhan didn't want to cause more trouble, so he took the lead in starting a war with Cloud Village in the Northeast of Wood Leaf Village. Now the center of the turmoil in the Shinobi World is the Rain Country, which is the Northwest of Wood Leaf Village.
Konoha's defense was also focused on the Fire Country's Northwest Stronghold Camp.
Once Wood Leaf Village is attacked from two sides at the same time, Yuanfei RIzhan doesn't know if Wood Leaf Village can survive even with the title of the number one Ninja Village in the Shinobi World.
At this time, Wood Leaf Village hasn't reached the peak of its combat power. Orochi Maru, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Hatsuki Shigeru, and Kato Mitsukaze, these elite Jonins of Wood Leaf Village haven't yet grown to the strength of Kage Level Ninja.
No, maybe some of these people have reached the level of Kage Level, but they don't have sufficient past achievements to prove it.
Yuanfei RIzhan, who was sitting at the head of the table, listened to the discussion of the Elder Advisors. Figures flashed before his eyes as he silently simulated the pros and cons of different countermeasures in his mind.
Yuanfei RIzhan obviously knows that Cloud Village can't be trusted. More than a decade ago, Wood Leaf Village lost their Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, who was Yuanfei RIzhan's teacher.
Yuanfei RIzhan took over the position of Wood Leaf Village's Hokage from Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. How could Yuanfei RIzhan forget the kindness of passing on his teacher's position to him?
It's easy to send more troops to the Northeast of the Fire Country. For Yuanfei RIzhan, it's just a matter of talking. The problem is, where are the troops coming from?
The troops can be transferred from the Northwest of the Stronghold, but what about the leader?
By relying on Danzō Shichun?
Having worked with Shimura Danzo for decades, Yuanfei RIzhan knew his old partner too well. He would only make enemies for Wood Leaf Village and the Fire Country.
Or should he rely on others?
Who among the younger generation of Wood Leaf Ninjas could stand up to him?
Orochi Maru, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Hatsuki Shigeru, Kato Mitsukaze, and the faces of the younger Wood Leaf Ninjas flashed before Yuanfei RIzhan's eyes again.
Don't ask Yuanfei RIzhan why he did not think of Uchiha Hachiyo who had activated the Mangekyo Sharingan. That was the correct question to ask about Wood Leaf Village!
Just as Yuanfei RIzhan was having a headache over the problem of the Fire Country's northeastern defensive line, he felt something and turned around to look at the huge floor-to-ceiling window behind him.
Outside the window, he could see the streets of Wood Leaf Village wrapped in silver. In the corner of the window, he could even see the tall Hokage Rock Mountain. It was also covered in white snow and was shining with a silver light.
In Yuanfei RIzhan's vision, a ball of light flashing with a pale green light suddenly appeared on the westernmost horizon. It was quickly flying in the direction of the House of Naruto.
Although the pale green light was only a small ball of light in the snow-white Wood Leaf Village, it was still quite eye-catching.
Yuanfei RIzhan narrowed his eyes. In the next second, the pale green ball of light disappeared.
Yuanfei RIzhan definitely did not think that he was seeing things because he had been lying in the office for a long time reading documents. He was familiar with Chakra's energy signature and the unique way it appeared, so he had already guessed who it was.
"I hope it's good news!"
Yuanfei RIzhan thought to himself.
A second later, before the person could show himself, an ethereal and familiar voice rang out in Yuanfei RIzhan's ears.
"Lord Sandaime, there's an emergency report from the Northwest Stronghold's main camp!"
Kato Mitsukaze's pale green soul shadow appeared in the conference room. He bowed to Yuanfei RIzhan and the two advisors who were sitting at the head of the table.
First, it was so illusory that it could not be seen clearly. Then, it became transparent and vaguely humanoid. Finally, it gradually became more solid and clear. Other than the pale green glow around it, if one did not look carefully, they would think it was Kato Mitsukaze himself.
Everyone in the conference room gradually stopped their discussions. Their attention was attracted by the sudden appearance of Kato Mitsukaze.
This was not the first time Yuanfei RIzhan had seen Kato Mitsukaze's Soul Clone, so he was not very surprised.
However, the other people in the conference room, especially the younger advisors, some of them saw the appearance of the Soul Clone for the first time.
Even among the Jonin of Wood Leaf Village, the existence of the Soul Clone is quite rare. Most people have only heard of the name of the Kato Clan's Spirit Transformation Jutsu. Only a few people have really seen the Soul Clone with their own eyes.
As for the enemy ninjas, it is said that many people have seen the souls of Kato Yukaze and Kato Duan, but those who have seen them are already dead.
Ignoring the curious advisors, Yuanfei RIzhan began to urge: "Speak!"
Kato Mitsukaze first smiled at Shimura Danzo, then his ethereal and clear voice reached the ears of everyone in the conference room and began to tell the latest information about the Sand Hidden Village.
"The Sand Hidden Village …"
After listening to Kato Mitsukaze's report, Yuanfei RIzhan's eyebrows wrinkled even tighter. Sitting next to him, Shimura Danzo's face was also not very good.
Shimura Danzo is a Warrior of Wood Leaf Village, but he is not really a fool. Fighting on two fronts has always been a taboo, and he still understands this point.
Now that there is a change in the Northwest of the Fire Country, it is necessary to defend the Sand Village in the Northwest, and the Cloud Village in the Northeast can only be delayed by negotiations.
Yuanfei RIzhan and Shimura Danzo looked at each other and quickly reached a tacit understanding to focus on the Rain Country in the Northwest.
Shimura Danzo understood the reason, but he was still a little unwilling. Negotiating without fighting, in Shimura Danzo's view, Wood Leaf Village is showing weakness.
Shimura Danzo knows that Yuanfei RIzhan will not deal with Cloud Village according to his plan, but negotiating without fighting is not something he wants to see. What if someone else leads the team to stop Cloud Village?
Kato Mitsukaze in front of him is a suitable candidate, but whether Kato Mitsukaze can suppress the powerful Cloud Village is still a question mark in Shimura Danzo's heart.
Seeing his old partner's unwillingness, Yuanfei RIzhan comforted him: "Danzō, let Mitokado delay the negotiations with Cloud Village. Now the most important thing is the Rain Country in the Northwest."
"There is still room for negotiation with Cloud Village. Sand Village and Rock Village have accurate information, the overall situation of Wood Leaf Village is the most important!"
"Hiruzen, I'm just a little unwilling. More than ten years ago, our sensei died because of Cloud Village's betrayal. What if we let Kato Mitsukaze lead the team to stop Cloud Village?"
Shimura Danzo still wanted to tell his old partner what was in his heart.
"…"
Yuanfei RIzhan was silent for a while, then firmly said: "It's too risky without a solid record. I am responsible for the entire Wood Leaf Village, stability is the priority."
After saying that, Yuanfei RIzhan no longer paid attention to his partner who was still a little unwilling, and began to issue battle orders from his mouth, and then from the House of Naruto to the entire Wood Leaf Village, and then to the entire Fire Country.
Wood Leaf Village, the huge war behemoth, finally woke up completely under the provocation of the enemy.
Flying back to Wood Leaf Village from the Northwest Stronghold's camp with his Soul Clone was quite a burden for Kato Mitsukaze as he was always in a hurry. After reporting the key information, he bade farewell to Yuanfei RIzhan and left the House of Naruto.
Of course, Kato Mitsukaze did not know that after his Soul Clone disappeared, the discussion between Yuanfei RIzhan and Shimura Danzo almost led to him being transferred to the Fire Country's Northeast defensive line to deal with Cloud Village.
Even if he knew, Kato Mitsukaze would not be too surprised. Now that the main business of returning to Wood Leaf Village was done, he still had more important private matters to attend to. No, it was a less important private matter to attend to.
Kato Mitsukaze was going to comfort Tsunade's White Rabbit.
