Invaders From Sunagakure!

Early morning.

Aoba stretched on the iron bed in Anbu's dormitory and slowly opened his eyes.

"It's finally time for Kumogakure's envoy group to come!"

The corners of Aoba's mouth curled up slightly. He was quite looking forward to this matter. After all, he had done so much work before.

Now that the day had come.

He had thought that he could ignore everything and continue to hang around in Konohagakure Intelligence Division.

But...

Now he still wanted to go and take a look.

Instantly.

Aoba formed a seal with both hands and use Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique).

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique)!"

Aoba slowly said. As his voice rang out, a person who looked exactly like Aoba appeared in his dormitory.

This person was Aoba's shadow clone.

"Today, the cat-faced demon's mission will be handed over to you," Aoba said to the shadow clone beside him.

In fact, according to his original ways, he would usually send his shadow clone to look at these things. His main body would stay with Konohagakure Intelligence Division, which would be safer. He just needed to wait for the shadow clone to bring back the information.

However, today was different.

He just wanted to personally go and see what was happening in real-time instead of looking back at the information brought back by the shadow clone.

"Yes!"

The shadow clone immediately nodded, then prepared to change into Anbu's ninja clothes and wear the cat face mask.

After Aoba gave his instructions.

He immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique). His figure flashed and he directly appeared in a certain forest in Konohagakure.

Swish swish...

The moment Aoba appeared on the branch, the paper on his body flew up and down.

Through Kami no Shisha no Jutsu(Paper Person of God Technique)'s imitation, Aoba changed his appearance into a different one.

Now, he only looked like an ordinary person.

According to the memories he obtained, he randomly selected a face.

After completing the change in appearance.

After ensuring that he would not attract anyone's attention, Aoba walked in the direction of Konohagakure's main entrance.

At this time.

He was also very curious.

He wanted to see what Kumogakure's envoy group looked like when they came.

He had left a big gift package for Kumogakure's envoy group. Not only had he drenched them into a drenched chicken, but he had also left two ninjas from Root.

Aoba still did not know how they were going to deal with it!

...

When Aoba arrived near Konohagakure's main entrance, he was stopped by the ninjas guarding here.

"There is danger ahead. You can't leave for now. Please go back!"

Just as Aoba approached Konohagakure's main entrance, he was stopped by a ninja wearing a mask.

"What happened?" Aoba asked in confusion.

"Don't ask anything you shouldn't know. This has nothing to do with you. Hurry up and leave this place!" The Anbu said coldly. Their mission was to intercept these ordinary people who might come over and keep them away from the village's main entrance.

"Alright!"

Aoba helplessly turned around and returned. When he saw Anbu guarding this place, he understood the Third Hokage's intentions.

All of these things that were said by the Anbu were quite nice for the villager.

'It was really dangerous ahead.'

It looked like he was thinking about the people in the village.

But.

In fact.

The higher-ups of the village just wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble as much as possible.

Kumogakure's envoy group came to the village once. At that time, it was not very pleasant. They blew up the Hyuga Clan's dojo, destroyed several streets and alleys, and finally killed Uchiha Sekai.

Of course...

These things were all done by Aoba!

Aoba was very clear about this, but the other ordinary people did not know at all.

If the ordinary people knew that the village still had to meet with Kumogakure's envoy group under such circumstances, it would definitely cause some public dissatisfaction.

From this point of view.

It could also be seen.

The Third Hokage was actually panicking in his heart. He could not calmly face these things.

After Aoba turned around and left this place, he did not directly return. Instead, he went in another direction.

In the end, he was once again stopped by an Anbu.

At this time.

Aoba had probably already figured out the area where Konohagakure's Anbu defense was.

As long as he entered that area, he might be noticed by others, and it would be very disadvantageous for him.

For a moment.

Aoba found a bench by the tree and sat down.

On the surface, he was sitting here to rest, but in fact, he had expanded his perception to the maximum.

Suddenly.

A map seemed to appear in Aoba's mind.

The map was what Konohagakure looks like.

There were blue dots on the surface, which corresponded to the people's chakra.

Some people had stronger chakra, some had weaker chakra, and each had its own differences.

Aoba could excessively distinguish the strength of chakra, but he could not distinguish the chakra, which meant that there was no way to judge to who each ball of chakra belonged, and he could not judge whether there was hostility from these chakras.

These special abilities still needed to have different states to support them. It was just an instinctive perception state, and he could only know if there were people around, which was a simple radar.

However...

Although Aoba's perception didn't seem to be that developed.

However, only the top sensor ninja in the ninja world could do this. Moreover, the range of perception was not as wide as Aoba's.

There were some lightning chakras that appear in Aoba's consciousness, but he was sure that these people were Konohagakure's ninjas.

Kumogakure was not here yet!

...

At this time.

At the main entrance of Konohagakure.

There were already quite a few ninjas waiting here.

Standing at the front was the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was wearing the Hokage robe.

It was obvious how much importance he attached to this negotiation.

He directly stood at Konohagakure's main entrance and personally met the approaching Kumogakure's envoy.

He didn't care about the difference in status between the two sides.

Standing behind Hiruzen were Danzo and Konohagakure's two advisors.

Further back were the middle and high-level ninjas in the village.

Among them were the people of Hyuga and the people of Uchiha.

However.

Fugaku of the Uchiha clan was not among them.

At this moment.

Fugaku was lying on his bed at home.

He stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open.

He had no intention of coming to see Kumogakure ninja come to do these things, and he didn't even dare to have any interest.

How about watching?

So what?

Sekai was already dead!

There was no way to reverse these past events!

Of course.

What made him feel like his belief had collapsed the most was what he felt recently.

It was as if the entire world had changed!

It was to the extent that Akaru had specifically emphasized that he should not come to receive Kumogakure's envoy to prevent him from doing anything special.

This decision seemed to be protecting him.

In fact...

Fugaku knew very well that this was not to protect him at all, but to deliberately provoke him!

Akaru was precisely using the reverse psychology of his desire for revenge, and after Fugaku recovered his calm, he had already seen through the matters of the Uchiha Clan more and more thoroughly.

The current Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan and Konoha Military Police Force Captain was not as perfect and fair as he had imagined. They were also doing this for the sake of being able to sit on their seats for a period of time, not hesitating to suppress the outstanding figures in the Uchiha Clan's younger generation.

Such a measure.

It made Fugaku feel ashamed to be with him.

However.

Fugaku learned not to easily express these things. Instead, he silently endured these things.

The recent events.

On the contrary, it made him even calmer.

Get out of your existing perspective and see the world more clearly and intuitively.

This made him gradually understand...

This world was far from being as beautiful as he had imagined. It was more like a nightmare that he could not wake up from.

The real way to save the world and the Uchiha Clan was...

Thinking of this, Fugaku's face became gloomy. He had already seen the revelation left behind by the Sage of the Six Path on the Uchiha Clan stone tablet. He already had some thoughts in his mind. However, these thoughts were only in the budding stage and had not been carried out according to this method.

...

The middle and high-level people of Konohagakure were all waiting at the village's main entrance. Everyone's thoughts were different. Some people were looking forward to the coming of war, and some people do not want the war to come.

Gradually.

Time ticked by.

As time went on, the sun continued to rise and began to shine on the earth, but Kumogakure's envoy group had yet to arrive.

"????"

The middle and high-level people in the village couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. They had been waiting for so long, but no one had come at all.

This kind of thing stunned everyone.

"What's going on? Why hasn't Kumogakure's envoy group come yet? Did something happen?" Koharu muttered doubtfully.

"What kind of accident could happen to Kumogakure..." Homura shook his head helplessly. His face revealed a self-mocking smile. From the beginning, he had never agreed with Kumogakure's ninja request for peace. This battle that needed to be fought had to be fought.

"They might not come!" Danzo sighed. In the conversation he had with Hari last night, he had felt that Kumogakure had no intention of making peace at all just to save Hari. And what Gasshi did would make Kumogakure mistakenly think that Hari was dead.

In this case...

Then there was no need to save him anymore!

Naturally, there was no need to come again!

This was what Danzo was thinking. When he came out today, he had already faintly felt that Kumogakure's envoy might not come.

"Let's wait a little longer."

Hiruzen said in a deep voice. His eyes were fixed on Konohagakure's main entrance, expecting a figure to appear the next moment.

It was not only them who were discussing these things.

Even the clan head of the major clans who had arrived at the scene were all discussing this matter.

No one had expected that Kumogakure would back down on such an important occasion.

...

Not far away.

Aoba sat on a bench near the edge of the forest.

He had been feeling the situation here.

A lot of small question marks appeared in his head. He was as shocked as everyone else.

"What's the situation?"

The range of Aoba's perception covered the outside of Konohagakure. He had been feeling what was happening outside the village.

During this period of time, no chakra was passing by.

No one had come at all.

"Kumogakure's envoy group is not coming?"

Aoba was stunned. He recalled what he had done. Wasn't it just spitting a few mouthfuls of water on these envoys?

He hadn't done anything else!

They weren't coming just like that?

It can't be...

Aoba vaguely felt that something might have happened to Kumogakure, but he could not tell what had happened.

"What could it be?"

Aoba quickly thought about it in his mind. He increasingly felt that the matter was very strange.

"Can the butterfly effect be so strong?"

Aoba couldn't help but sigh.

He knew that such a thing must have happened because his little butterfly had flapped its wings, which caused the situation to change.

But...

He had no idea what the change was.

Had Kumogakure been attacked?

Or had something happened to Kumogakure?

Or had Kumogakure changed the negotiation strategy?

Aoba did not know exactly what had happened. According to the existing information he had guided, he could deduce many different paths.

These paths led to different paths of development.

It was very difficult to guess blindly.

"Forget it, don't think about it. I don't care if they come or not!"

Aoba was ready to retract his thoughts. He originally wanted to watch the fun, but he didn't expect to watch a lonely show. After waiting for half a day, it was almost noon, but Kumogakure's envoy group still hadn't come.

Just when he was about to leave.

He discovered several other chakra groups rapidly moving toward Konohagakure.

The strength of these chakra groups seemed to be very strong, and they appeared on the other side of Konohagakure, still some distance away from the main entrance.

"This is..."

When Aoba felt this, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and his face revealed a proud expression.

"Sunagakure ninja is here!"

Aoba could clearly feel that among these chakras, there was one that was particularly outstanding compared to other chakras.

If there was no accident.

The owner of that chakra should be the Third Kazekage.

"This Kazekage is really bold!"

"A simple secret letter, he directly brought all his elites over!"

"If you dare to charge in like this, there will be new opportunities and possibilities!"

"You won't be turned into a puppet this time, will you?"

Aoba silently calculated in his heart. According to the normal process of history, Sasori would turn the Third Kazekage into a puppet.

After the Third Kazekage was killed by Sasori, Sunagakure began to become a dragon without a head, which caused the Third Ninja World War to ignite.

But now everything was different.

According to the current timing, Sasori should not have graduated from the Ninja School yet.

The real igniting point of the Third Ninja World War had completely changed.

After Kumogakure's envoy group deceived Konohagakure, Konohagakure was attacked by Sunagakure.

This kind of thing was enough to trigger the Third Ninja World War.

Instantly.

Aoba immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique).

His figure flashed and disappeared.

He directly appeared in the forest.

Then, he quickly looked in the direction of Sunagakure's ninjas' invasion.

He was not going to participate in the battle.

He just wanted to see how things would develop.

...

West of Konohagakure.

Sunagakure ninjas, led by the Third Kazekage, arrived at the outer wall of Konohagakure one after another.

After that.

The Third Kazekage stopped.

Sunagakure's elite ninjas who followed behind him also stopped.

At this time.

They still did not know that their Sunagakure hometown had been attacked. They were still thinking about Konohagakure in front of them!

"Everyone!"

The Third Kazekage looked at the wall in front of him, and his eyes were full of fighting intent.

"Konohagakure's barrier is in front!"

"Once we cross Konohagakure's barrier, there is no way to turn back!"

"According to the current time node, Konohagakure has sent all their elites to attack Kumogakure!"

"This is the best time for us!"

"Let's have a good fight with Konohagakure!"

The Third Kazekage said one sentence after another. His tone was getting more and more excited, mobilizing the fighting spirit of Sunagakure elite ninjas here.

"Yes!"

After hearing the Third Kazekage's words, the ninjas eyes burst out with a burning passion.

"Charge!"

The Third Kazekage's eyes became fierce, and then he took the lead to rush in the direction of Konohagakure.

"Charge!"

Sunagakure elite ninjas followed behind the Third Kazekage and rushed in the direction of Konohagakure one by one.

Soon.

Sunagakure's ninjas passed through Konohagakure's barrier one after another, crossed the outer wall, and entered the interior of Konohagakure.

...

Almost at the same time.

In the barrier team inside Konohagakure.

An old man wearing a helmet in charge of sensing the barrier suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of shock.

"Quickly report to Third Hokage-sama, there are intruders in the west of the village!"

The old man's anxious voice echoed in the hall of the barrier team. He had just felt several people entering the barrier, and each of them was not weak.

"Yes!"

The people in charge of sending information from the barrier team immediately responded, and then quickly left, running toward the direction of Hokage Building.

Intruder!

This kind of thing was rarely seen, but once it appeared, it was often a big matter.

...

Other than the people from the barrier team.

Aoba stood on the top of a tree in the west of Konohagakure, feeling the chakra of Sunagakure's intruders.

"Next is the time to watch a good show."

Aoba did not expect that Kumogakure's envoy group would not come; instead, the Sunagakure's intruders came.
