In the forest.
Seii trained for about two more hours. After it was completely dark, he packed up his things and returned to the camp, to his own residence.
However, as soon as he returned, before he could even warm his seat, soone ca looking for him.
Seii looked at the Konoha Chunin in front of him and frowned, "Do you know why Captain Kurosawa is looking for ?"
That's right, this person was sent by Kurosawa Naruto to find him.
Hearing this, the Konoha Chunin shook his head and said, "I don't know, but Captain Kurosawa wants you to go there imdiately."
"Alright!"
Seii sighed helplessly, picked up the Kusanagi sword beside him, and walked out of the tent.
A few minutes later, he arrived at the command post of the northern defense line.
Seii keenly noticed that there were more people here than usual at the sa ti, and many of them were in a hurry.
"It seems that sothing big really happened..."
Suddenly, this thought arose in Seii's mind, and then he suppressed it again.
Knock, knock, knock~
Seii found Kurosawa Naruto's office and knocked on the door.
"Co in!"
The next mont, a familiar voice ca from behind the door.
Seii didn't hesitate and pushed the door open directly.
Creak~
The door was pushed open.
Seii saw Kurosawa Naruto with a worried look on his face.
"What happened, Captain?"
Walking into the office, Seii asked directly.
"Sigh!"
Hearing this, Kurosawa Naruto first sighed softly, then said, "Just now, Captain Nara sent a ssage that Futago Pass has been breached."
"What?"
Seii was shocked and quickly asked, "Is it Futago Pass on the Land of Rain battlefield?"
"Yes."
Kurosawa Naruto nodded and said, "You ca from there, you should know the importance of Futago Pass very well."
"Of course."
Seii nodded with an ugly expression.
Of course he knew the importance of Futago Pass. After retreating from Kazakiryo Pass, he had stayed there for quite a while.
He had participated directly or indirectly in several battles for the Nishiyama stronghold and two decapitation operations against the Iwagakure attack force.
He had also fought against the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Rōshi, and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Han, there.
With so many forces gathered there, its importance was self-evident.
Once this town was lost, Konoha would have no more important strongholds to defend behind it. As long as Iwagakure straightened the front line, they could directly threaten Konoha's main base in the Land of Rain.
At that ti, Konoha's defensive forces would inevitably be compressed into a very small area, their activity area would be greatly restricted, and their choices would beco scarce.
On the contrary, Iwagakure would have more choices.
Combining the mories of his previous life, Seii imdiately guessed Iwagakure's next plan.
That was to send an elite force to bypass Konoha's main base in the Land of Rain and directly attack the Land of Fire's mainland.
In the mories of his previous life, it was Minato Namikaze who carried out this mission.
And the result of this battle was that Konoha's border defense forces stationed in that direction were almost completely wiped out. In the end, it was Minato Namikaze who arrived in ti to save the day.
Despite this, Iwagakure still opened a gap there.
After that, in order to force Iwagakure to return to defense and also to buy ti for the frontline troops, Minato's team carried out the mission to destroy the Kannabi Bridge, which was the famous Battle of Kannabi Bridge.
In this battle, Konoha produced two Sharingan heroes, but it also laid the groundwork for future tragedies.
At the sa ti, Sunagakure saw an opportunity and sought a decisive battle with Konoha. To this end, they did not hesitate to use the village's hero, Pakura of the Scorch Style, as a bargaining chip in exchange for Kirigakure's reconciliation.
And this also allowed Kirigakure to have the strength to launch a full-scale attack on Konoha, thus breaking through the border defense line and entering the Land of Fire.
In the mories of his previous life, Might Dai opening the Eight Gates and kicking the Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist into submission happened under this background.
However, now that two of the Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist had been killed by him, this incident would most likely not happen.
But it was undeniable that the series of problems caused by the fall of Futago Pass was enough to show its importance, and it could even be said to be the turning point of this Ninja World War.
Just as Seii was lost in thought, Kurosawa Naruto said, "Seii, did you think of sothing?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing Kurosawa Naruto's words, Seii's thoughts were instantly pulled back. He was stunned at first, then shook his head and said, "Nothing."
Of course, he couldn't tell the other party about these things.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but the situation didn't allow it.
Let's not talk about how to explain the source of his information after telling the other party, just the trouble involved in it, he didn't want to get involved.
Take the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, on the surface, it was because Kakashi and others were not strong enough, and Minato Namikaze couldn't rescue them in ti, which led to the tragedy.
But he, with the mories of his previous life, knew very well that Uchiha Obito had been targeted by Uchiha Madara early on, so all of this was very likely the result of the other party's deliberate calculation.
If combined with his later actions to force Uchiha Obito to open the Mangekyo Sharingan, using Kirigakure Anbu to design Rin Nohara to die at the hands of Kakashi, then the situation was even more obvious.
In addition, behind Uchiha Madara, there was also Black Zetsu, this big filial son. Seii really didn't want to touch these layers of nesting dolls now.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, Seii looked at Kurosawa Naruto and asked, "When did this happen?"
"Just a few hours ago."
Kurosawa Naruto replied.
"Then does Captain Nara have any arrangents?"
Seii asked again.
"Hmm, he does!"
Kurosawa Naruto nodded upon hearing this.
Saying that, he took out a mission scroll from the desk drawer, handed it to Seii, and then said, "The latest orders regarding you have just co down. Captain Nara has ordered you to lead your troops to temporarily station on our defense line and guard against Kirigakure's surprise attacks."
That's right, it wasn't until today that the mission orders for their troops ca down.
Before, Seii was still wondering why it took so long, but now he finally understood.
Obviously, Nara was aware of the situation on the Land of Rain battlefield and knew the situation at Futago Pass.
The fall of Futago Pass was definitely not a sudden event, there must have been signs beforehand.
Therefore, he had been waiting for the result.
If they could hold there, then the order waiting for Seii was very likely to counterattack the Land of Waves and retake the forward base.
But now...
Futago Pass was breached by Iwagakure, and they could only stay put here, so the mission changed from offense to defense.
That's why the mission order only ca down today.
As for the content of the mission, Seii was happy to see it happen.
He also needed so ti to strengthen his body and break through the 'Constitution' attribute, and this garrison mission was just right.
Thinking this, Seii took the mission scroll, carefully checked it, and after confirming that there were no problems, he put it away.
Afterwards, the two talked for a while, finalizing the previously temporary decisions, and then Seii said goodbye and left.
