Chapter 139
A few days later, the atmosphere in the Konoha Ninja Village was already solemn.
Not long ago, all diplomatic efforts ended in failure. The alliance formed by the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village was officially at war with the Hidden Leaf Village.
Just when the Konoha Ninjas were feeling heavy-hearted because of this news, the disappearance of the elite ninjas who usually moved around in the village made them feel very confused. Rumors about where they went had been circulating in Konoha.
Until recently, similar news came out one after another.
The villagers of Konoha knew that they were not going to the front line of the war with the Hidden Cloud Village or the Hidden Mist Village, but to raid the Hidden Rock Village on the other side of the continent.
This news caused a rare jubilation in the stagnant Konoha Ninja Village.
Facing the alliance formed by the two major ninja villages, our Konoha still has the ability to open up another front. Doesn't this just show that we are strong and don't take the enemy seriously at all?
Under the leadership of Tsunade-sama and Jiraiya-sama, it won't be difficult for us to defeat the other major ninja villages again like we did more than a decade ago, right?
But later, orders were issued one after another, and former ninja school students were also formed into Konoha patrol teams to patrol the surrounding areas.
A large number of materials were controlled, and some were simply banned from sale.
All the usual mission commissions were terminated.
These signs made the people of Konoha Village inevitably realize that the war was coming. It seemed that it would not be so easy for Konoha to decide the winner in a short time.
In a voting meeting attended by all the major families of Konoha, a resolution to get on the bus first and then buy tickets was also voted and formally passed.
That was the resolution to go to war with the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village.
Sasuke, as the nominal patriarch of the Uchiha clan, also participated in the vote, but of course he had no say.
When the resolution was passed, he did not have the complex expressions of joy or worry on his face like the patriarchs of other families.
Later, he was given a mission by the Hokage, that is, since the teaching of the Ninja School had been terminated, he, as a student who was about to graduate, had to participate in the patrol team's responsibility to defend Konoha.
He was appointed to organize patrols in the Uchiha community behind the isolation wall and patrol.
This mission is useless, because no one wants to go there, which is like an isolated prison.
And this patrol is a bit like letting the prisoners protect their own safety.
After returning home, Uchiha Ryoo was relieved when he heard that his master did not have to go to the battlefield.
As an old man who participated in the Ninja World War, he knew how dangerous that kind of battlefield was.
It was also thanks to Itachi that he could survive in that kind of battlefield at that age.
In short, the Hyuga clan members who were originally used to defend the Hyuga Wall had to stay away from the village because of the needs of the war.
Now, the entire Uchiha community behind the isolation wall is in a state of autonomy. What Sasuke has to do every day is to wear a similar ninja uniform, wear a ninja forehead protector issued in advance, and then patrol the streets in a serious manner.
Because of the implementation of the rationing system, the supplies that can enter from the outer perimeter of the Hyuga Wall every day have become very few.
Some fresh vegetables have also stopped supplying because a large number of ninjas have been withdrawn and the supply routes cannot be guaranteed.
The Uchiha clansmen had to cultivate small vegetable gardens in front of their homes to obtain the daily vegetables they needed.
This was the first time that Sasuke had experienced a major ninja war since he could remember. He was like a swift in an impending storm, looking at the dark clouds that were gradually lowering on the horizon, with anticipation, excitement and nervousness in his pupils.
All this was different from the past. The curtain of peace had been raised, and what was being brought down was the ruthless judgment of war.
Apart from that, his life had not changed much except that his daily diet had changed due to rationing, and he no longer had to go to the ninja school to take the ninjutsu courses that he had already learned.
On this day, the world outside the Hyuga Wall seemed to become particularly noisy, like the chirping of cicadas in summer.
He left the back of the Hyuga Wall on official business and came to the town of Konoha, where he found that everyone was whispering to each other.
"Did you hear that? The Hokage has organized an emergency medical team and gathered all kinds of medical ninjas."
"It is said that the big hospitals in Konoha are also overcrowded."
"Are those all ninjas returning from the front? Which direction are they coming from?"
Sasuke thought as he quickened his pace. He saw some familiar faces that he hadn't seen for a long time, including the elite ninja Kakashi who his father had mentioned to him, who was known as the Sharingan.
There was also Jiraiya, who was known as one of the three ninjas, and...
His pupils shrank as he saw a figure that was very familiar and hated him.
The man he would have to deal with one day!
However, he did not even glance at his brother in the crowd. At this time, the high-ranking officials of Konoha all looked very unhappy.
"What's going on, huh?"
Tsunade looked at Jiraiya with a very ugly expression.
The two consultants behind her pursed their lips tightly and said nothing. This was the battle plan they took the lead in formulating, and according to Jiraiya's report, everything was successful at the beginning.
They made the Jinchūriki of the Hidden Rock Village go berserk at a relatively low cost, destroyed a large amount of their supplies and killed their manpower.
But when they retreated safely, the nightmare followed.
Konoha ninjas kept falling mysteriously, and the same wounds appeared in impossible positions.
Jiraiya was forced to not reveal more information, but ordered everyone to speed up, but More and more ninjas died.
Finally, when the number of elite ninjas who died inexplicably exceeded a hundred, a riot ensued.
At that time, Jiraiya was forced to adopt a very bold plan, that is, he believed that the caster of the curse was still at the front line of Iwagakure.
As long as he and the other elite forces of Konoha could make a comeback and defeat the ninja again by surprise, they could end the curse on their own ninjas.
This idea is very good. Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan or Hyuga Ninja's Byakugan can also theoretically see the hidden chameleon. ps; Considering the order of sealing the tailed beasts, the previous plot has been slightly changed. You can go back and take a look, but it will not affect the reading if you don't watch it.
