It had been more than half a day since the 'temporary force' led by Danzo had set out, covering hundreds of kiloters.
They were still halfway to the border of the Land of Fire.
If Danzo and the others traveled as fast as they could, half a day would be enough to reach the border.
However, the entire temporary ninja force was not as fast as most of them were Genin. They had to avoid excessive chakra consumption and maintain their combat strength to avoid being attacked.
Therefore, Danzo deliberately slowed down his running speed.
Several scout teams were sent to scout the way ahead.
According to distance estimates, they could encounter the Agakure attacking force anyti from now on.
They had to remain vigilant and alert at all tis.
Although Danzo always liked to hide behind the scenes and conspire, his combat experience and command ability were still very good.
The temporary army was also divided into three factions.
Danzo as the main one, Hizashi and Fugaku as assistants, followed by the three Shukaku, Choza, and Inoichi.
Among them, the three clans of Ino-Shika-Cho were conservatives who supported Hiruzen. The main purpose of this mission was to protect Danzo, and the second was to defeat the enemy.
This was also the order Hiruzen gave them.
As for Hizashi and Fugaku, as the heads of major clans, Hiruzen couldn't issue a death order.
If it weren't for the difficulty of denying Hiruzen's face, the two of them wouldn't fight at all.
"Patriarch Fugaku? You only have a few people?"
Hizashi glanced at Fugaku next to him and asked in a low voice.
Fugaku this ti did not bring many Uchiha ninjas, only ten people. There was only one Jonin among them, who didn't seem to be from the Uchiha Clan.
"Many clan mbers have been sent to the main battlefield in Kumogakure Village. The village also needs a group of manpower to maintain the daily operation of the Konoha Police Force. We really can't allocate manpower." Fugaku replied expressionlessly.
Of course, this was just an excuse. No matter how hard the Uchiha worked, it was impossible to squeeze out this little manpower.
It's just that Fugaku didn't want to take the lives of his clan mbers and pave the way for Danzo.
He would participate in this battle, on the one hand, to cripple Hiruzen and Danzo. On the other hand, he would also gather intelligence to facilitate Minato's actions in the future. As a loyal party of Minato, he now only wanted to pave the way for Minato!
"So it is."
Hizashi sighed, unsure whether he believed it or not. However, he had prepared well and brought nearly forty Hyuga ninjas with him.
Among them were three Jonin from the Hyuga branch, who were a few elite mbers of the branch and stayed behind him at all tis to counter unexpected dangers.
He is the head of the Hyuga clan, and he can't let anything happen easily.
Moreover, it was only November, and his wife's birthday would be at the end of the month. Hizashi didn't want to die fighting for Danzo, an old bastard.
"I heard your wife is about to give birth?"
"Yes, it will take more than half a month."
"Boy or girl?"
"If you want to take over the clan position, it's natural for a boy to be the best."
Hizashi's eyebrows slightly relaxed, and he began to think about his outstanding offspring.
"It's true, a boy is good."
Fugaku sincerely hoped.
He really hoped that Hizashi would give birth to a boy, and it had nothing to do with the Uchiha Clan.
To know, Minato's baby is a boy, so he might not be able to connect with him.
What if Hizashi's wife gave birth to a beautiful girl here and seduced Minato's son, wouldn't the Hyuga Clan be able to take over?
How could Fugaku take advantage of Hizashi?
What about trying harder to have a daughter?
Or encourage Minato and Kushina to give Naruto another sister?
Fugaku still kept a straight face, and no one could see the boring brainstorm in his heart.
"By the way, what does Patriarch Fugaku think about this war?"
"Agakure Village is not a simple opponent."
"Oh? Patriarch Fugaku values Agakure Village so much? The Demi-God was no better than him back then, right?"
The new generation replaces the old generation.
Hizashi was well aware of how powerful ti was in weakening a ninja.
For example, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen more than ten years ago was known as the Professor of Ninjutsu and the Strongest Hokage of his generation. But now, he is hesitant to face the Kyuubi, and he is no longer as daring as he used to be.
From this, it can be concluded that Hanzo may not be much better.
With his own lineup, even if he couldn't kill the opponent, he wouldn't lose easily.
"Patriarch Hizashi, do you think we will win?"
Fugaku didn't reveal much, he just asked rhetorically.
Long before the departure, Minato t with him calmly and told him a lot of information.
Therefore, Fugaku had long known that facing the Agakure force led by 'Hanzo' this ti might just be a cover, and the real person behind the scenes might be the Akatsuki organization with the Rinnegan.
Such a monster is not sothing that Danzo can easily defeat.
That's why Fugaku joined this temporary force, ready to take the opportunity to test the enemy's strength.
"The outco of the battlefield cannot be easily predicted. After all, those are things that Danzo needs to worry about. I just need to fulfill my obligations."
Hizashi and the Hyuga Clan are still very neutral.
In other words, this is the style of doing things handed down by the Hyuga Clan.
Never rely on any party's strength easily. As long as you maintain the legacy and protect the clan, the Hyuga Clan will not decline in Konoha.
He wasn't interested in risking his life to bring Danzo to the top.
Even if he wanted to bet, he wouldn't bet on Danzo.
The conversation between the two was not intentionally concealed, and Danzo, who was not far away, also used secret techniques to eavesdrop secretly.
After learning about the attitudes of the two Konoha clan leaders, Danzo was not angry.
It would be better if he could get their support.
It doesn't matter if he can't get it, as long as they don't oppose him.
When he really takes over as Hokage, is he afraid that he can't use them?
Especially the Uchiha Clan.
'When I take over, I'll make sure you look good!'
Danzo secretly vowed, his desire for the position of Hokage grew stronger.
*BOOM*
Thousands of ters ahead, a fireball exploded from the explosion talisman.
It ans the scout team was attacked!
"Everyone, prepare to fight!"
Danzo roared and began to order his troops to attack.
Success or failure depends on this!
It all depends on whether he can block this wave of attacks from Agakure Village!
❀❀❀
The Konoha force and the Agakure force clashed.
As soon as they t, a fierce battle ensued.
Although the Konoha force was ford temporarily, it was aid at protecting the village. Moreover, its quality is higher than that of Agakure. The combat power it can exert is quite high, and almost no one is intimidated.
But Agakure is even more ruthless.
'Hanzo' directly said that if anyone retreats and flees on the battlefield, their entire family and clan will be directly wiped out after them!
Use real terror threats and painful feelings to stimulate these Agakure ninjas, forcing them to summon the courage to fight to the death.
Montum and madness exchange lives for lives, the courage to face death, directly makes Konoha stupid.
"Why?"
"How can these Agakure ninjas be so brave? What dicine did Hanzo give them?"
Danzo stood on a tall tree behind, observing the entire battlefield, his brows furrowed, and his face beca increasingly ugly.
The average strength of Agakure ninjas is naturally not as good as Konoha ninjas. But this montum of never giving up is so strong that it directly suppresses Konoha's montum.
It's not good if this continues!
"Danzo-sama, there's sothing strange on the other side."
"These Agakure ninjas don't seem afraid of death, but they seem to be driven by fear and have to fight for their lives..."
As Konoha's military advisor, Nara Shikaku has a very high IQ and quickly realized sothing was wrong.
"Go, capture an Agakure ninja, and let Yamanaka use secret thods to check his mory."
Danzo was very decisive and sent out two root ninjas.
He quickly captured an Agakure ninja alive, and then asked Yamanaka Inoichi to activate the technique of reading other people's minds.
"Danzo-sama, I understand. Hanzo threatened these ninjas with their families and clans. If they fail or retreat, he will kill all their relatives!" Inoichi said with a stiff head.
He really didn't expect there to be soone more ruthless than Danzo!
"What?"
"Hanzo is so despicable!"
"Is he crazy?"
"Is he willing to go this far for this war?"
"What does he want? Or what benefits did Kumogakure Village promise him?"
Danzo was very angry and didn't understand at all.
Why did Hanzo, who was originally conservative during the Third Shinobi World War, suddenly beco so radical and even risked destroying his reputation?
This is sothing that Danzo would never dare to do openly.
If you are used to threatening your subordinates with your family mbers, after such shaless and cruel behavior is exposed, who will work with you in the future?
Aren't you afraid that your family will be slaughtered?
Even if you can win.. After returning, how will Hanzo control Agakure Village?
If Danzo dared to threaten Konoha ninjas like this, let alone beco Hokage, he might be torn apart by the village when he returned.
In his eyes, Hanzo is completely crazy!
Of course, he didn't know that it wasn't Hanzo who issued this order at all, but Nagato who borrowed Hanzo's dead identity to issue it.
After all, Hanzo had to be abandoned, so there was no point in trying to deceive him again. Moreover, this Agakure is also inclined towards Hanzo's faction, so even if they all die, Nagato will not feel sad.
"Danzo-sama, we can't delay this any longer!" Shikaku reminded.
If they delay any longer, the temporary force is likely to lose montum and collapse.
No matter how strong Danzo and the others are, they cannot stop hundreds of Agakure ninjas attacking from different directions. As long as a small number of Agakure ninjas reach the entrance of Konoha Village, they don't even need to attack.
Danzo's reputation and prestige will plumt.
"Okay! The three of you, attack quickly!"
Danzo gave the order, and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio had no choice but to attack.
Instead of protecting Danzo, they still wanted to save those Konoha ninjas, hoping to minimize their own casualties.
"Patriarch Fugaku, Patriarch Hizashi, it's ti to take action!"
Danzo looked at Fugaku and Hizashi and urged.
"Aren't you worried about your own safety, Danzo-sama?"
"It's okay, I can protect myself. Now is not the ti to worry about personal safety. Everyone focus on the victory of the village!"
Danzo's words sounded so high that Fugaku and Hizashi couldn't find fault with them.
So they ignored Danzo and joined the battlefield to resist the fierce attack of the Agakure ninjas.
This ti, except for the two root ninjas, there were no other guards around Danzo.
Of course, Danzo didn't know that when he was trying to turn the tide of the battle, the hunter on the opposite side had already set his sights on his prey.
