Prelude to War

Five days later.

On the shaded path near Konoha, Uchiha Tunan walked leisurely, ignoring the ninjas that were passing by him.

He saw groups of ninjas rushing out from the boundary of Konoha's village.

The two of them were standing outside the boundary.

One by one, the HyugaHyundai opened his eyes and checked the ninjas who set out one by one, shouting non-stop.

"Quick, quick, quick, Jounin, bring the supplies to the border first. Chuunin and Genin, follow behind and don't exhaust too much energy. Be careful not to fall behind alone."

"Intelligence personnel spread out. When the enemy village spies are found, send a signal immediately. Don't fight."

"Go back and ask the medical class what is going on. Our team is going to battle the Hidden Sand Village. Why is the antidote so little?"

Uchiha Tunan came to the entrance of the village and smiled warmly at Hyuga Hizashi. "Lord Hizashi, have we already started a war with Hidden Sand Village?"

Hyuga Hizashi glanced at Uchiha Tunan. Although the two races had always been at odds with each other.

But considering Uchiha Tunan's amazing achievements, Hyuga Hizashi's usually expressionless face couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile. He said in a friendly manner,

"Yes, according to the information, Hidden Sand Village and Hidden Rock Village have formed an alliance. The main force is about to arrive at the border of Rain Country.

They intend to enter through the border between Rain Country and Fire Country."

Uchiha Tunan nodded and said, "It seems that this battle will be led by the Hyuga clan."

As a big clan in Konoha, naturally they have to stand on the front line.

"I was in charge of defending against the Sand Hidden Village, and Shikaku is in charge of the Rock Hidden Village.

Your Uchiha clan was arranged to guard the coastline the day before yesterday to defend against the Mist Hidden Village.

The corners of Uchiha Tunan's mouth slightly curved, and he was not surprised by Hiruzen Sarutobi's arrangement. He lightly said,

"I don't know who is the commander of the Hidden Cloud Village."

After all, Konoha's Sannin were fleeing for their lives, and there were only a few people in Konoha who wanted to take the lead.

Of course, the best choice would definitely be himself, but the war had just begun, and the outcome was hard to predict.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was definitely afraid that he would gain a lot of merit points and threaten his position.

The main Ninja Clan is the Sarutobi clan and Shimura clan, led by Jounin Minato.

He will tell you the details after you meet the Hokage."

Uchiha Tunan nodded thoughtfully and said, "You go ahead."

After saying that, he stepped into the enchantment and walked toward the Hokage building.

On the side, Hyuga Hizashi kept staring at the back of Uchiha Tunan. He could not help but come over and ask in a deep voice,

"Chief, you seem to value that little brat Uchiha very much."

Hyuga Hizashi narrowed his eyes and said,

"Little brat? I'm afraid that after the war ends, you won't dare to call him that."

Hearing this, the Hyuga messenger raised his head and stared at the back of Uchiha Tunan.

The feeling of Byakugan staring at him was immediately noticed by Uchiha Tunan.

He saw Uchiha Tunan immediately stop, but he did not look back.

Seeing that Uchiha Tunan was so alert, he quickly looked away.

After all, it was very impolite to look at others with a Byakugan.

The messenger lowered his head and whispered, "Orochimaru."

Hyugan Hizashi nodded, then shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I don't even know which one is real."

In front of the Hokage building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was giving a pre-war speech to this group of troops that were about to enter the battlefield.

"Always remember the will of fire. In front of you is the battlefield.

Behind you are your family and companions.

They are waiting for you in the village...."

Suddenly, there was a slight commotion at the back of the team.

The crowd spontaneously split into a path, and the ninjas lowered their heads with respect in their eyes.

"Lord Tunan."

"Lord Tunan."

....

Uchiha Tunan smiled and nodded at them.

He walked to the front of the group and looked up at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was wearing a royal robe.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and said with a kind smile,

"Tunan, you are back."

Facing Hiruzen Sarutobi, Uchiha Tunan had no respect on his face. He lightly said,

"I wonder how the Hokage Sama arranged for me in this war."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was slightly annoyed by Uchiha Tunan's attitude, but at this moment, he could only suppress it. He said in a low voice,

"The troops of Hidden Sand Village and Hidden Rock Village have gathered at the border of the Rain Country, preparing to break through the Rain Country and attack the Fire Country.

The pressure on the battlefield over there is the greatest.

Your strength is obvious to all, so I put you under the command of Lu Jiu. "

Uchiha Tunan nodded thoughtfully and said, "So I didn't go to the same battlefield as my clansmen."

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "With great power comes great responsibility."

Uchiha Tunan nodded and said, "I understand, but I have to spend a day preparing."

"The situation is urgent. I hope you won't delay the battle."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pretended to be dignified and took the opportunity to test Uchiha Tunan.

However, in this situation, Uchiha Tunan was fearless and naturally would not let Hiruzen Sarutobi ride on his head.

His expression immediately became cold and he quietly watched Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time.

In the end, for the sake of the overall situation, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to give up and give Uchiha Tunan a way out.

"Deal with your personal affairs as soon as possible. If you need anything, just let me know."

Uchiha Tunan chuckled and said, "No need to trouble Hokage sama, it's just a small matter."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

Soon, Uchiha Tunan arrived at Kushina's residence.

As the Kyubi Jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki's resident was not inferior to the Hatake family's.

Uchiha Tunan remembered that Naruto's home was Minato's small house on the second floor.

It seemed that this old guy, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had also occupied someone else's yard.

Uchiha Tunan gently knocked on the door.

Soon, Kushina came to the door with Little Yanbo in her arms and opened the door.

As soon as she saw Uchiha Tunan, a look of surprise appeared on Kushina's face.

She wanted to say hello, but was interrupted by Little Yanbo in her arms.

"Papa!"

Maybe Little Yanbo was too excited, but his voice was a little sharp.

He stretched his hands forward, his little legs kicking about, as if he wanted Uchiha Tunan to hug him.

Uchiha Tunan's face was full of love. He gently rubbed Little Yanbo's head, and then looked at Kushina:

"Neesan, has Minato Sensei and the others already set off?"

Kushina nodded and said:

"Yeah, he left yesterday. Kakashi and the others followed him.

Come in and talk. "

"No, I'll leave after a few words. I'm going to the battlefield soon." Uchiha Tunan shook his head and said.

"During the days when I wasn't around, please help me take care of the welfare institute."

Kushina patted her chest and said, "No problem."

Uchiha Tunan smiled and took out a storage scroll from his storage bag. He handed it to Kushina and said,

"Take this money. If there are orphans, send them to the orphanage in time."

Kushina took the scroll and said with a puzzled face, "This is..."

Uchiha Tunan reached out and adjusted his glasses, "This is 500,000 new coins, it should be enough."

Hearing that, Kushina immediately opened her eyes wide and said, "Isn't that equivalent to five billion..."

Uchiha Tunan nodded and said, "It was given to me by the Daimyo."

"Yes, I heard that you saved his highness."

Kushina carefully put away the scroll, even though she had never been worried about eating or drinking since she was a child, but she had never seen such a huge sum of money.

Five billion, how many S-level quests would that take?

"Then I'll be leaving first. Time is a bit tight."

After giving his instructions, Uchiha Tunan reached out and pinched Little Yanbo's chubby cheeks, turning around and leaving without any reluctance.

Kushina looked at Uchiha Tunan's back and shouted,

"Tunan, you must be careful when you go to the battlefield."

Uchiha Tunan paused slightly and nodded without looking back, "I know."
