Chapter 19:
"This, what is going on?" Nawaki, Choza and others also found that the surrounding atmosphere was heavy.
"War..." Akira curled his lips secretly.
The second Ninja World War finally come.
"What are you doing in a daze? Get together quickly. Third Hokage is summoning all ninjas in the village!" Shikaku said. The bell ringing just now was the signal to summon the ninjas.
Akira and others set off one after another and went to the hokage tower.
Under the hokage tower, nearly a thousand ninjas have gathered, standing neatly while third hokage is seen standing on the building while watching all the ninjas as they gathered
The third hokage looked around and said: "I just received the highest level of intelligence about our country border being attacked by a large-scale assault from Iwa and the front line is in a need of backup. In addition, Suna also intends to join the battlefield and their ninja at the borders are showing signs of movement..."
As soon as this sentence was said, the surrounding air seemed to be drawn away, becoming very quiet. All the ninjas looked at each other, digesting the shocking news.
Akira had already expected it and still remain calm.
"I shall announce that the land of fire has officially entered the state of preparation for war. Konoha has entered the highest alert and will be sending ninja troops into the battlefield. From today onwards, all chunins and above are to get ready and join the war at any time!" Said third Hokage.
"Yes!"
All the ninjas responded loudly.
Immediately afterwards, Akira heard whispers around.
"It is actually the highest alert state. It seems that the war this time is really serious..."
"Yes, I remember that the last time I experienced the highest alert status was decades ago. It was the first Ninja war during the lead of second hokage."
Everyone's voice was full of hidden worries and surprises. This sudden war caused the atmosphere around Konoha to be depressing and heavy.
The short-term peace that came after the First Ninja World War widened the economic gap between countries. Countries used "increasing the fairness" as an excuse and forces supporting war emerged and gain momentum. All the countries then formally implemented the use of force to expand their territories!
In the spring of Konoha's 32nd year, the major powers ignited the start of wars.
In order to reduce the loss of the great countries, the three forces, Konoha, Iwa, and Suna tacitly decided to fight in the rain country. As the main battlefield, Ame was affected badly and became a victim of the great countries. Even though hanzo the salamander is known as a demi god, he can also do nothing to stop the other three countries.
The act of using the Rain as a battlefield caused great dissatisfaction from the Rain Country. Under such circumstances, the Rain Country also joined the war and first went to war with Konoha.
Akira curled his lips distastefully secretly in his heart. The second Ninja World War, in short, was the five great countries being dissatisfied by the current circumstances and wanted to be the strongest. As a result, the conflicts intensified and a big battle came. The three countries have a tacit understanding, in order to reduce their own losses, they directly regard the country of rain as their battlefield. While, the country of rain suffered from the war...
Next, Rain Country also become angry and attack Konoha forces and join into the war.
What a chaotic Ninja World.
Once third hokage finished his announcement, all of the gathered ninjas then disperse for their own work.
"It's really war." Nawaki whispered in worried.
"Akira, Nawaki and Kushina." Tsunade waved from a distance, summoned the three of them to her side and said: "I have received an order to go to the battlefield front line. The front line is in urgent need of support and now everyone is preparing to fight the war. I'm afraid you will also be assigned tasks during this time, so be careful. Akira take good care of Kushina and Nawaki."
Akira nodded, with Tsunade's strength, she of course had to be assigned to the front line.
"Don't worry, at your age you shouldn't be assigned to the center of the battlefield. It should be some tasks such as spying and stealing of intelligence." Tsunade said.
"Ok." The three of them all nodded.
The three of them are now nine years old,
they are all strong and they can actually be sent to the battlefield. After all, many ninja went to the battlefield at a very young age. In the original story, Nawaki was killed in action at the age of twelve. Furthermore, when Kakashi was twelve, he participated in the third ninja wars and became a jounin.
Of course, ninjas at Akira's age are usually sent to the periphery of the battlefield to perform tasks with relatively low risks.
"Okay, then I'll leave first. I hope that when we meet again, you will have made great progress in strength." Tsunade laughed with some expectation and then left quickly.
Tsunade left.
Akira has become the captain of the team and both Kushuna and Nawaki looked at Akira eagerly.
"What shall we do now?" Kushina asked.
"Wait for the task." Akira answer was concise and at the same time communicated with the sage of the six path.
"Another battle in the Ninja World is about to begin. I don't know how many people will have their families destroyed and their lives sacrificed..." Sage of the six path sighed sadly.
"Old man, don't sigh, I am under a lot of pressure now." Akira pouted.
Sage of the six path replied: "Smelly brat, the battlefield is the place where you can increase your strength most rapidly. If you want to become really strong, you can only get stronger after a bloodshed bath. You should be lucky to have my help. Experiencing the war will help you to improve your strength quickly."
Akira's eyes lit up and the words of the sage of the six path are right. This time the Ninja World War was also an opportunity for Akira. His most urgent priority now is to improve his strength!
"With my guidance, your strength will definitely have a qualitative leap and don't forget to maintain the peace in the Ninja world in the future..." Sage of the six path babbled.
Akira rolled his eyes and directly ignored the words said by the sage of the six path
Konoha was in complete state of tension for the next few days.
The ninja troops entered and exited the village and the villagers were also solemn. Konoha's defenses and guards were suddenly several times tougher and stricter than usual. Everything signaled the coming of the Ninja World War.
A tense atmosphere spread across the village and the atmosphere of war enveloped everyone. Even Uchiha clan sent many clan ninja to the battlefield.
At the same time, Akira and others finally received their task!
The third hokage personally give out the task and appointed Akira to lead the team to complete it.
This task is for Akira, Kushina, Minato and Choza, the four of them to complete the task together. Akira is the leader of the team this time, while Nawaki and others have other task.
The task for Akira and the other four is to scout the border of the Fire Country and collect the intelligence of a hideout in Ame. Since it is only spying and intelligence gathering, it is considered a B-rank mission.
Taking into account that there is no jonin leading the team, the third hokage assigned Akira and Minato to act together with the other two. After all, the strength of Akira and Minato is at the top of the younger generation and can ensure the relative safety of the team and also complete the task.
After receiving the task, Akira was both excitement and look forward to completing it. With a final thought in his head.
We are finally going to the battlefield!
This will be his starting point and he will step by step rise to the top of the Ninja World and be the strongest!
