"We have anticipated this kind of thing in advance, and we have more than one contingency plan for the war, so don't panic, just follow the original plan and do your part... Konoha will not have any problems, and will remain standing.
Do you understand?
Okay, disband now!"
After finishing the story, the Third Hokage announced that everyone would disband.
The news that war has broken out will then spread throughout the village as people disperse.
The war made everyone nervous, but nervousness was different from panic, and the latter was unnecessary. The mere news of the outbreak of war was not enough to throw Konoha into a panic... or so it seemed, in theory.
As the Third Hokage said, Konoha is a military group, and the entire village has countless plans regarding the prediction, anticipation and corresponding response measures for war.
So, now we just need to follow the steps.
To the ordinary ninjas and civilians in the village, today was originally just an ordinary day, but now, the war is like the belly of a prostitute in the hot spring town that swells up at any time without any negotiation.
Hanyu also hurried back to the Shadow Stream's underground base. After calling Shiko to his side, he said to her, "Inform everyone that the Sand Village has just invaded the Rain Country, and Konoha will also respond next... The war has broken out."
He delivered this important news in a rather calm and even understated tone.
To be precise, Konoha has already made the most intense response. Its reaction at this time is like the reaction that the "strongest ninja village" should make. It can be seen that even the Third Hokage will not hesitate at all when it comes to certain things that will affect Konoha's fundamental interests.
The Sand Village might start attacking the Rain Village thinking that other ninja villages would not react in time and give them an opportunity to take advantage of it, but both Konoha and Iwagakure would use vivid reality to tell them that this possibility does not exist at all.
It's just that there is no Shadow Stream among the first batch of Konoha ninjas heading to the battlefield... Once the war breaks out, this internal organizational is likely to be broken, but Hanyu still hopes that the Shadow Stream can maintain its original structure, so as to ensure that its combat effectiveness will not be lost to the greatest extent.
Hanyu's words made Shiko stop suddenly. Obviously, she didn't expect things to happen so suddenly.
"Is the information accurate, Master Hanyu?"
Hanyu was too lazy to answer her question. She would understand in two minutes that no one would joke about such a thing... not even Hanyu, who was particularly good at telling jokes that could make the whole audience fall silent.
"Pass the message on, let everyone be mentally prepared, and tell them not to panic. Especially at this time, everyone needs to do their job." Hanyu continued.
The only problem with the Shadow Stream is that there are too many young ninjas. Although it cannot be said that all of them have not experienced the last war, the battle in the Land of Whirlpools and the battle in Konoha during the last war were too different in intensity.
Therefore, the most important thing at this time is to be safe and not to panic.
"The war is now breaking out in the west, and according to my prediction, the focus of this war will even be in the direction of Kumo, but we still need to be vigilant in other directions."
Hanyu took a more conservative statement. In fact, compared to the large-scale battle in the last Ninja World War, the focus of this Ninja World War seems to be only in the Rain Country... or the Rain Country will become a "quagmire".
"When I was discussing the deductions of this war with the Third Hokage, he intentionally placed us on the eastern or northern front to alert Kirigakure or Kumogakure, so we won't start moving right at the beginning of the war...to make everyone feel more at ease. We have more time."
Of course, something like war would not come out of nowhere. There were signs of it several years ago, so Konoha had no shortage of strategic preparations or even tactical arrangements.
The arrangements revealed by the Third Hokage for Hanyu and the Shadow Stream no longer regard Hanyu as a simple ninja. It is obvious that in this war, the Hokage is using Hanyu as a talent in various fields.
Hanyu only remembered that in this war, all the countries in the Rain Country were beaten to a pulp, but Amegakure survived in the end and even made a great name for themselves.
As for whether Kirigakure or Kumogakure had invaded the Land of Fire, he could no longer remember.
Oh, there is one more thing. He still remembered that Kumogakure came to Konoha to abduct Kushina, and the envoy team at that time seemed to have come to Konoha under the banner of "friendship" - even now, Kumogakure and Konoha are still allies, but the alliance between the two sides has always been fragile, and when necessary, it is not much more effective than a piece of waste paper.
Shiko followed Hanyu closely. After a while, she realized that Hanyu seemed to have explained everything clearly already. It was time for her to convey the order, so she hurried away.
Hanyu couldn't help but shake his head. This news made Shiko a little confused, not to mention the other Shadow Ninjas.
Perhaps only Sakumo could maintain his original expression at a time like this.
As for the rest of us…
Fortunately, the village gave this small organization enough time to react.
Only when the elite forces are weakened or have suffered huge losses, the village will throw the most confused graduates onto the battlefield... After all, no one is a fool and no one will throw young children onto the battlefield as cannon fodder for no reason.
When the village needs to do this, it means that it is already so stretched that it has to rely even on the power of cannon fodder.
Hanyu entered his room.
News of the outbreak of war began to spread in this underground base.
Not long after, Tsunade also arrived here.
After she entered Hanyu's office, she gently closed the door, and this small room became a not-so-secret "secret room".
"Hanyu, it's quite a mess outside here."
Tsunade said this, and when she opened the door just now, some noisy sounds from outside came in, and Hanyu could also hear them... This place was already quite private, and being able to hear the sounds meant that there was indeed some chaos outside.
However, the tone of her voice showed that Tsunade's mentality was pretty good, indicating that she could face the war squarely.
After all, she was a ninja who participated in the First World War. Although she was just a supporting role on the battlefield at that time, that was also a kind of experience.
Tsunade now has hair that is much shorter than before, and this change in hairstyle gives people a feeling of "everything is said without words".
"Don't worry about them, everything will be quiet tomorrow... For the frontline ninjas, the war is never far away, but it may not be the case for other ninjas.
In most people's minds, the war happened ten years ago.
Ten years, how many ten years can one have in a lifetime, so the village must be in quite a mess now, right? "
Hanyu just raised his head, and when he saw that the person who came in was Tsunade, he continued to deal with the work at hand... Of course, he had to make some plans for the battle that might begin soon.
"What are your plans, three of you?" he continued to ask.
"We will probably leave Konoha within a few days. The three of us will join Danzo Shimura's unit and join the battlefield in Amegakure as soon as possible." Tsunade said.
The disciples of the Third Hokage were already mature ninjas. When the Third Hokage was in the rear and coordinating the overall situation, it was necessary for his disciples to take his place and charge into battle on the front line.
This is the responsibility that comes with one's identity, and Hanyu can't say anything about it.
Hanyu put down the pen in his hand, sat behind the desk, looked up at Tsunade, and said: "Tsunade , you are just a medical ninja."
So there is no need to force yourself too much.
"But a medical ninja is also a ninja, and I'm no worse than a ninja who specializes in combat functions."
I am no longer a child, I am a real ninja, and I can naturally shoulder the responsibilities that I should shoulder.
Does this seem like a bit of a rebellious attitude? This attitude made Hanyu shake his head and laugh.
This is the "disadvantage" of growing up. She has her own ideas and of course she can't completely obey him. However, this is not worth complaining about. It is a very normal thing in itself - even if she has feelings for him, she is not his vassal.
After laughing, Hanyu moved the chair under him back, moving his body slightly away from the table in front of him, then he reached out and patted his thigh.
Well, he admitted that there was an element of gambling involved in this thigh-slapping action.
However, Tsunade just walked over and leaned against the bookshelf filled with scrolls. Then she rolled her eyes at Hanyu...
After all, wishing for nothing is just wishing for nothing. It seems that Tsunade is not the only one who always loses when gambling.
Don't ask what Hanyu has been doing all these years. Anyway, the two of them are not that close yet.
Sure enough, a shameless life only exists in a shameless imagination.
Hanyu didn't feel embarrassed or disappointed. He was just joking. "I called you here because I have something to give you."
"What?"
This made Tsunade curious.
Fighting will continue throughout a ninja's life, so it should be a priority at all times.
