While time is constantly moving forward, it never goes straight. It only forms one circle after another and becomes tied into one dead knot after another, making the world seem to be repetitive and standing still.
"In short, regarding Kushina's matter, we need to work together..."
In an office at the Ninja School, Hanyu had a detailed discussion with the teacher about the problem of Kushina not fitting in with the rest of the class.
Hanyu's first impression of this teacher was extremely bad. How could a student's "parent" kick a teacher in front of the whole class the first time they met? What kind of person was that?
But after communicating with him, he found that Hanyu was actually quite good. He knew how to say the right things and expressed his willingness to cooperate with the school's work.
The teacher roughly meant that the school would try its best to ensure that Kushina would not be ridiculed or harassed, and Hanyu, as a "parent", would teach her not to hit others easily, so that everyone could create a healthy and sunny growth environment for the children...
Well, isn't that the truth?
So of course Hanyu, who is always reasonable, would respond with "OK, OK, yes, yes", but don't forget that he has a very distinctive characteristic, which is that he likes to say one thing and do another, so it is useless for him to reason.
Just look at how he taught Kushina yesterday and you will know that his attitude towards this matter itself is "as long as no one is killed it's fine", and he doesn't mind the big deal.
Ninja schools should not be too cruel, nor too gentle, otherwise the contrast between becoming a ninja and the education received in school will be hard for people to accept. It would be funny if a ninja still needed psychological counseling, so it is not a bad thing to let them take more realistic beatings in school...
Well, this kind of "wrong logic" that Hanyu often uses is actually an excuse. He is just too lazy to care about the details of these things.
It is rare to meet parents who are so willing to cooperate with students. Even the teacher felt that the kick he just received was not in vain. Just as he was about to continue to have an in-depth discussion with Hanyu about the student's education issues, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in the room.
He was a "mysterious man" who was hidden in a black coat, with an animal mask on his face and even his hair covered by a hood. However, this mysterious man was actually not mysterious at all. No one knew his specific identity, but everyone knew his origins and understood what he represented.
A Konoha Anbu ninja suddenly appeared, and then he spoke without hesitation:
"Hanyu-sama, the Sandaime has summoned you to an emergency meeting."
The Chunin teacher frowned. If an ordinary person appeared in front of him at this time and said something like this, he would definitely respond like this: "The world is so big, but what is bigger than the education of children?"
However, the person on the other side was an Anbu ninja, so his teachings would definitely not be of any use.
"Urgent?"
Hanyu didn't mind continuing to chat with his teacher, but the reality didn't seem to allow it - he could feel an indescribable sense of tension from this Anbu ninja.
"It's urgent."
"I see... Teacher, it seems we can only talk next time. And I guess this 'next time' is much longer than you think. It seems we are all busy from now on."
Hanyu's gentle look changed into a swift and decisive one in an instant. After saying these suggestive words, he disappeared here with the Anbu ninja.
"what happened?"
The teacher was a little confused, but because of Hanyu's words, he suddenly felt uneasy... No, he needed to stay with the students at this time.
The teacher moved his legs quickly and ran towards the classroom.
"Hanyu, Hanyu-sama... isn't your name 'Uzumaki Moriyoshi'?" For some reason, he felt that the name "Hanyu" sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.
Although not all, some of the Chunin teachers in the ninja school are the kind of ninja who are farthest away from the front line. Apart from the information related to the students, they often get the least and the slowest information.
…
After leaving the Ninja School, Hanyu and the Anbu Ninja rushed to the Hokage's office as quickly as possible. By the time Hanyu arrived, the fairly spacious office was already crowded with all kinds of people.
The Third Hokage, two advisors, senior ninjas in various departments, patriarchs of all ninja clans…even the Uchiha clan.
But there is no Danzo Shimura.
Although there are a lot of people here, it is surprisingly quiet. After Hanyu arrived here, he just stood in the crowd, waiting for an unexpected news to be announced.
Ten minutes later, after several other middle-aged ninjas arrived, the Third Hokage finally put down his pipe and said:
"Everyone has arrived, and now we have important information to announce.
Just an hour ago, we received a piece of important news - a large force from the Sand Village invaded the Rain Country from the southwest...
The war broke out."
There was a brief silence, and then noise suddenly broke out among the crowd that had been very quiet just a moment ago.
The news was a bit too sudden.
Although based on the intelligence in recent years, everyone has expected that war will break out again, and it is reasonable for it to happen, however, "reason" is one thing and reality is another.
When it really happened, everyone's reactions were surprisingly consistent - is Sunagakure crazy?
Now, it has only been ten years since the last disastrous Ninja World War... From Konoha's twenty years to Konoha's thirty years, it was just a brief respite.
Sunagakure is definitely not crazy, but it is really poor, and the entire Wind Kingdom is really poor.
In a sense, even the Sand Village is still very rational... National consciousness, national concepts, world map, and so on will gradually consolidate with the passage of time. If they cannot seize the time to conquer the small countries around them, then the best that the Sand Village can do in the future is to conquer but not submit.
The Hidden Rain Clan during the last Ninja World War is a typical example. It defended its country with extreme stubbornness.
Due to geographical factors, Sand Village needs the fertile land of the surrounding countries. If these lands are what they are determined to obtain, then the sooner they are obtained, the better. Only then can the Wind Country achieve stable and effective rule over them. When Sand Village and the Wind Country were instigating war, the logic in this regard was very clear.
Now, Sunagakure is ready to defeat Amegakure.
Moreover, they were smarter than Hanyu imagined. At least they knew that it was impossible for this village to be destroyed by just three or five people, so they directly dispatched a large number of troops in order to "strike a decisive blow in one go."
"Quiet!"
The chaotic noise forced the Third Hokage to knock on the table vigorously. After suppressing everyone's discussion, he continued, "I think everyone knows the reason. For long-term considerations, we cannot allow our strategic opponents to realize their intentions of invasion. Otherwise, it would be tantamount to self-destruction.
No one wants to see a prosperous and powerful Wind Kingdom.
So we must stop the actions of Sunagakure - Danzo Shimura has led the first batch of Konoha ninjas to the Land of Rain.
We do not want to expand the scale of the war, as long as we can defeat the Sand Village's offensive intentions as soon as possible, so Konoha is pursuing a quick victory... We are just the forced responders of the war, and we do not want the scale and duration of the war to expand again like the last war. "
"Hokage-sama, what is the scale of the Sunagakure's deployment?"
Someone asked a question that everyone was very concerned about.
"It's not clear yet. We need further investigation and intelligence, but...it could be 2,000 or 4,000."
The Hokage's answer silenced everyone again. The scale of the combat force in the first batch could be used to judge the Sand Village's determination to go to war, so now it seems... the opponent's will to fight is very firm.
If two thousand ninjas invaded the Rain Country in the first place, it would be clear that Sand Village was "determined to win". No wonder the Third Hokage emphasized that Konoha should fight a quick victory. I'm afraid he had already determined in his heart that the war could not be ended in a short time.
Because after hearing these numbers, everyone came to a similar conclusion.
"In short, I now announce as the Third Hokage that the Hidden Leaf Village has now officially entered a wartime system. Immediately issue a call for frontline combat ninjas. All other tasks must be put aside. The logistics and medical departments must also be fully prepared. At the same time, the intelligence department will not have any rest time starting today..."
No matter how much the outbreak of war is anticipated, its bloody smell still makes people nervous and makes them feel that it is unexpected.
Hanyu came to Konoha during the war years, became a ninja, experienced the war, and finally ended the war and achieved peace.
And now he felt like he had gone in a circle and returned to the original starting point after going around in a circle.
It's just that the time has changed a little.
…
In the 30th year of Konoha, Sand Village invaded the Rain Country. Konoha and Iwagakure responded at the same time. The elite forces of the three major countries poured into the Rain Country almost in one day.
The high-density combat forces of the four hostile parties gathered together.
After ten years of peace, the Second Ninja World War broke out.
The gigantic war machine that was powerful enough to crush any flesh and blood was awakened again. The breath of death mixed with rust, blood mist, steam, and all these things permeated the entire world.
From invisible and intangible to extremely strong, it happened in a flash before anyone could react.
