Chapter 898 A Request for Help from the Capital of the Kingdom of Fire

country of wind.

capital.

The door of a certain nobleman's mansion was closed, and the guards stood standing with long soldiers in their hands, exuding a strong power invisibly, even the passers-by felt the pressure, and when they passed by, they unconsciously quickened their pace and hurried away.

The ninja war came suddenly, not only the major ninja villages, but also all countries fell into a panic. It was not until the war was completely launched that the situation was greatly slowed down.

Nowadays, because the war has not spread to this point, the residents here have gradually returned to their previous living conditions, and the nobles who are used to being pampered, of course, will not last longer than the common people in a tense state. Being content with pleasure will always make people lack of willpower .

Therefore, at this moment, the capital city is completely defenseless in the eyes of some prying eyes.

Of course, so what if he was on guard?Several years of placement and infiltration, coupled with the ninja's execution ability, no matter how strong the defense is, it can't stop what will happen next. The difference is only a few lives lost.

The sun is slanting to the west, and the sunset glow is brilliant. Under the gradually dimming sky, there is a scene full of smoke and fire, but leisurely and peaceful because the day is approaching.

You can only hear the wind blowing the leaves, and see the smoke curling up from the kitchen. It is no different from the past. Being in it, one can't help but slow down and enjoy the breeze and peace.

The last reddish golden glow finally submerged into the outline of the distant mountains. The lanterns in front of the singing and dancing towns and food streets in the capital were lit up, and there were occasional candlelights in the homes of ordinary people, outlining thousands of lights.

At this moment, several ninja squads took action silently, shuttling through the alleys and rushing across the roofs.

The central city of this big country is like an undefended little girl whose decorations have been ruthlessly torn apart by outsiders, revealing her powerless appearance.

Not long after, there was a sound of dog barking, and the shouts of warriors holding torches spread from the deep courtyard into the night sky.

It's just that for this prosperous big city, such a cry is like a drop of ink dripping into a lake. Even if it is smeared, it can only sway a few times and disappear soon. .

And under such circumstances, the noble figures of the Kingdom of Wind who were in the capital at this time were quietly taken away overnight, and their whereabouts were unknown!

The same thing happened in many places in the ninja world, and almost none of the countries with a little strength and background in the ninja world were spared, including the land of fire naturally.

The Land of Fire used to have the Twelve Guardian Ninja Warriors. Although it has gone through several changes and is no longer at the peak of the past, it still retains some fire seeds and has developed a team dedicated to protecting the daimyo.

When the incident broke out that night, Root Ninja fought with this team. Although the latter was killed due to the surprise attack and the strength gap, they issued a warning while desperately resisting.

Later, perhaps because all the characters marked in the scroll had been captured, the root ninja did not stop and retreated as planned, thus resulting in the current situation.

……

Konoha Village, Sarutobi House.

"Is there such a thing?"

The former Hokage-sama heard the mournful young man's cries, and couldn't help but frown in astonishment. His originally gentle eyes showed a sharp look, which made the young man who had been rushing from the city of fire day and night to ask for help stop breathing heavily, and then he eased over.

"Please, Naruto-sama, send ninjas to rescue immediately!" He knelt on one knee and bowed his head, solemnly begging.

"I have resigned as Hokage and retired behind the scenes, and I have no right to dispatch ninjas in the village." Hiruzaru Sarutobi shook his head.

The young man was startled when he heard the words, and was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, he heard the other party's words change, and said: "But the Ninja World War is in full swing, and this kind of incident must not interfere with the battle situation again. Don't worry, I will go to the Hokage Tower to discuss this matter with other elders. "

Hearing this, the young man was overwhelmed with surprise, but unfortunately he was not good at talking, so he was excited for a long time, but in the end he could only nod heavily with joy, "Yeah".

Hiruzaru Sarutobi summoned the servants at home to take the boy to rest. The other party traveled all the way wearing stars and moons, the fatigue on his face was visible to the naked eye, and he even suspected that if the boy hadn't had a firm intention in his heart, he might not have made it to Konoha Village at all.

After briefly instructing the servants, Hiruzaru Sarutobi left the house and headed towards Hokage Tower.

He didn't know that shortly after he left, a ninja team dressed as Anbu visited the Sarutobi mansion, and left after a while without causing any movement, but took away the tired boy who had just fallen asleep.

……

Firehouse.

The ninja war is far away from the land of fire, and mainly takes place in the territory of the land of rain, but this does not mean that other places are very peaceful, especially as the leading party of the ninja coalition forces, the hokage building in Konoha village is even more crowded at the moment. Busy, so busy that even if Hiruzaru Sarutobi, the former Hokage, came, the hurried ninjas only paused slightly, stopped and nodded as a signal, and then continued towards their respective destinations.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi walked through the arc-shaped corridor, passed Hokage's office, came to the door of a meeting room, pushed the door and entered, and then couldn't help being stunned.

"Huh? You guys came so fast?" He raised his foot and walked into the door, followed by the door, and said in surprise.

In the conference room, Danzo Shimura sat on the left, and Koharu Mito and Ito Mito sat on the right. When they heard the door open, they looked towards the door.

Mitomonyan smiled lightly, pushed down the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said, "It just happens to be here, and I came here to wait for you after receiving a message from Anbu."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded, and was about to answer when Shimura Danzo said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, Sarutobi, why are you calling everyone?"

Turning to bed Xiaochun didn't interrupt, just watched quietly, but there was a flash of scrutiny in the depths of his squinted eyes.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was already familiar with the character of Danzo, an old friend and also an old opponent, so he didn't say much after hearing the words, and immediately told all the things, and finally suggested: "There is still a left-behind army with combat effectiveness in the village. Just take a few of them to carry out this rescue mission."

In the era of one village, one country, Ninja Village, as the country's military force, naturally has the duty to protect the country, and its scope is not limited to the territory, but also to protect the safety of the country's leaders and nobles.

That is to say, if such a thing happens in a neighboring country, and then you ask Konoha for help, then this matter will be regarded as a commissioned task, and as it is now, it is the responsibility of Konoha Village. There is no shirking the responsibility.

Therefore, regarding dispatching ninjas, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's tone was firm, and he didn't make any other assumptions at all, just discussing where to recruit manpower.

However, just after Sarutobi Hirizhan finished speaking, Zhuan Xiaochun, who was listening attentively, sighed, and dissuaded him: "Hi Zhan, this matter should be discussed in a long-term manner."
