Katsu!

Hiroki instantly teleported to Hiruzen.

"Hokage-sama, what's the problem? I came as fast as o could." Hiroki said. He then took a look around and found out he was back to the meeting room. Minato, Kushina, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Sakumo and all the clan leaders were present this time.

"Everyone, I've called all of you here to discuss an important matter." Hiruzen said in a serious tone. "Iwagakure declared war against Konoha." He continued.

"Let me guess. Kumo and Kiri also want to participate in it?" Hiroki asked only to get a nod from Hiruzen.

"Yes Hiroki-kun. We are now in a four way war against every village. I have intel that Iwa is moving troops to Suna and Kiri is sending out troops to Konoha. They are trying to divide our forces so that we can't help Suna and neither they can help us." Hiruzen said as he sighed and inhaled from his smoke pipe.

Everyone present started discussing the situation and trying to make plans for the best way to confront this crisis. Minato then presented his idea for everyone.

"Hokage-sama, what if we borrow some of Suna's shinobi and we lend them some of our shinobi? This way we can surprise both sides. They wouldn't expect this to happen and we would get an upper hand on this confrontation for the time being." Minato explained.

Hiruzen thought of the idea and was ready to put it aside, but before he had the chance to say something, Shikaku agreed.

"Minato-san, that is a really good idea. It would also make our alliance with Suna stronger. We would get two birds with one stone. I vote in favor." Shikaku said.

After a quick voting session, everyone agreed to go with Minato's idea.

"Jiraiya, I want you to command the troops going to Suna. Hiroki, you have a good relationship with Suna thanks to the treaty you proposed to our villages. Minato and Sakumo are the one to command the troops to fight against Kiri. We have to prepare for the coming weeks and move our shinobi to fighting camps away from Konoha." Hiruzen said.

"I'll be the one to move our shinobi to Suna and vice-versa. This way, it'll be unnoticed by our enemies. I'll be in charge of that in the coming weeks." Hiroki said.

"And how do you expect to move thousands of shinobi all they way to Suna and then to Konoha?" The Uchiha clan leader asked in a scornful way.

"That's quite simple. Just a combination of Hiraishin and Shadow clones. I can make hundreds of clones and teleport two people at a time. I already have safe points in Suna, so it shouldn't take long to move everybody in the coming days." Hiroki said as he smirked. The Uchiha clan leaders scornful smile disappeared instantly.

———

Two weeks later, the troops from Konoha were already in Suna to give a helping hand. Hiroki had teleported them and they were now at their camp. Iwagakure's shinobi were already preparing for an attack. Jiraiya and Rasa were the commanding the troops Konoha shinobi and Suna shinobi were all together now defending their allied village.

"Hiroki, I'll have to ask you to summon one of your birds to spy on Iwagakure's camp. If there are any signs of them making a move, your bird will let us know in advance." Jiraiya said.

Hiroki then summoned a normal sized bald eagle and gave it the assignment. Last time Hiroki went to the Hidden Mist Mountain, he met many other eagles of different sizes and became friends with some of them.

"Hakutowashi, please inform me through this seal of any movement they make. Your eyesight is good enough to observe from great distances. Use that in your favor and don't let them notice you." Hiroki said as he placed a seal on Hakutowashi's head.

"Hai, Hiroki-sama." Hakutowashi said as he flew in great speeds high in the air.

"You have quite the summon kid. I've seen bird summons, but nothing like your's that can talk." A girl in her late teens said. She had green hair tied in a bun, with two orange bangs framing her face.

Hiroki was surprised as it was no one other than Pakura, the holder of the scorch release.

"Ah, yes. They are great summons. I couldn't ask for any better. I feel like I know you. I believe it was from the bingo book. Pakura right? I'm Hiroki, a Jounin from Konoha. It's nice meeting you." Hiroki asked, feigning ignorance and then introduced himself.

"What? You are the Hiroki that found the evidence of the Third's disappearance? I was thinking that you were just a recently promoted genin. Either way, nice meeting you too Hiroki. And yes, I'm Pakura." She said.

"Oh. So you're the young Konoha genius. I've heard many great things about you." An elderly voice said behind Hiroki and Pakura. An old woman arrived near them.

"Chiyo-sama." Pakura said as she gave a small bow.

"No need to be so formal Pakura-chan. Just call me Chiyo baasan." Chiyo said as she laughed.

"It's an honor meeting you Chiyo baasan. I've heard many great things about you as well." Hiroki said.

"Oh, don't believe everything they say. People exaggerate." Chiyo said as she dismissed the subject.

'Hiroki-sama, shinobi from Iwagakure are preparing to leave their camp. And there's someone in their camp that have monstrous amounts of chakra." Hakutowashi said through the seal.

"Jiraiya-san, Rasa-sama, Iwa shinobi are preparing to leave their camp. It seems their jinchuuriki is also going to participate in battle." Hiroki said.

When they heard about the jinchuuriki, they felt a little concerned, but didn't show it as to not lower everyone's morals.

'Hakutowashi, give me a description of the one you feel the large amount of chakra from.' Hiroki asked.

'He is a very tall man with heavy armor and he has something large on his back. Steam is coming out from it.' Hakutowashi explained.

"Jiraiya-san, Rasa-sama, It seems that it's the jinchuuriki of the five tails. His is known as Han of the boil release." Hiroki said.

"Rasa, doesn't Suna have the jinchuuriki for Shukaku? Have him come and fight against Han." Jiraiya said.

Rasa had a somber look on his face when the Shukaku's jinchuuriki was mentioned.

"Shukaku's jinchuuriki, Bunpuku is jailed. He never leaves his jail cell." Rasa said.

"What? You keep one of your own inside a jail? Look at the other villages. They send their jinchuuriki to fight for them in battle." Jiraiya was not believing what Rasa said.

"The villagers hate him for being the jinchuuriki. It's been like that for decades. They are afraid that he will attack the village and kill everyone. The previous Kages didn't have a choice." Rasa tried to explain.

"Didn't have a choice? We always have a choice. I can't believe of how dumb this idea is. You are jailing the only person that can keep your village safe from other bijuu." Hiroki said angrily.

"But..." Rasa tried explaining again, but was interrupted by Hiroki.

"Rasa, I know that Suna seals Shukaku into one of the Kazekage's family members so they wouldn't betray the village. Right now you don't have any family members other than maybe your wife. If the jinchuuriki were to die and you had a son or daughter, you would seal it in them. Am I correct?" Hiroki asked and Rasa nodded.

"How would you feel to have your son or daughter in prison for something they haven't done?" Hiroki asked again.

"I would not do something like that." Rasa said.

"Exactly. A jinchuuriki is just like the sheath of a blade. They can't be blamed for what the bijuu has done in the past. A jinchuuriki is a person of their own being. If you show hate towards them, then you are asking for them to hate you back." Hiroki said.

Rasa, Chiyo and Pakura were all mowing in their heads what Hiroko said. They kept silent for some time until they were interrupted by Jiraiya.

"Hey, the Iwa troops are coming. What will you do Rasa?" Jiraiya asked.

"Release Bunpuku and bring him here. He will fight against Iwa's jinchuuriki." Rasa said as one of Suna's Jounin went to get Bupunku.

After twenty minutes, Bunpuku arrived in the battle camp. Rasa told him about Han and that he would be fighting him in this battle.

'Hiroki-sama, Iwa's troops are arriving closer to your camp.' Hakutowashi said through the seal.

"We better hurry, Iwa's troops are arriving closer to our camp. We better prepare to leave." Hiroki said.

Rasa and Jiraiya commanded their troops to leave for battle.

Hiroki arrived together with Jiraiya, Chiyo, Rasa, Bunpuku and Pakura. They were the front line that would be fighting the main battles.

"Hiroki, I want you to set a trap. You know what to do." Jiraiya said.

Hiroki then summoned Kurowashi and flew high. He then made one hudred shadow clones as he dropped one every meter as they threw shurikens at Iwagakure's shinobi force.

"Hahaha, what a terrible aim. There was no need to worry about that huge bird. The kid is no threat." Said the one commanding the frontlines of Iwa's troops as he ran through the shurikens that was stuck on the sand.

Hiroki had thrown each shuriken in equal space. He made one hundred of clones and each threw one hundred shuriken. It had the total of ten thousand shuriken spread all across the parts were the Iwa shinobi were advancing. When Iwa's frontline shinobi covered that space, Hiroki made one hand seal.

"Katsu!" Boooooooooooooooom!

A mushroom cloud as big as a tailed beast rose from the desert. A great wind picked up with the force of the explosion, creating a sand storm.

Both camps stared with unbelieving eyes at the mushroom cloud. They were afraid of that explosive power and now afraid of Hiroki. They don't know how he was able to do that, but that brought fear inside their heart.

Iwa's back line troops were the ones that lost their whole momentum and morale. They did not want to advance as they were afraid of what might be ahead.

As the mushroom cloud cleared, everyone saw the burnt and tattered bodies of Iwa's shinobi engulfed in the explosion. They lost over two hundred shinobi in that one explosion.

"Retreat! Retreat now!" The commanding officer of Iwa's whole troops screamed as their shinobi backed away from the battle sight.

The allied shinobi from Suna and Konoha cheered in delight as they saw their enemies running away.

"Really well done gaki. I'm impressed with that jutsu of yours and that insane amount of chakra you have as well." Jiraiya said as Hiroki arrived next to him.

"What was that technique you used? You put Iwa's explosive squad to shame with that." Pakura said.

"It's something I created some time ago. Either way, we better return to our camp. I believe Iwa won't try attacking anytime soon." Hiroki said. The allied troops then went back to their camp.
