Chapter 132: Chapter 132: War is Coming
"Supreme Commander?"
Mei and Onoki didn't look pleased.
The Supreme Commander would command not only the Cloud Village ninjas but also the ninjas of the Hidden Stone and Hidden Mist villages, all under A's command.
As the leaders of their villages, how could they allow the leader of another village to command their ninja forces?
Before Mei and Onoki could voice their objections, A continued, "If you disagree, then your ninja forces can take on the vanguard role."
Mei and Onoki's faces turned even grimmer. Onoki especially, as his clever plan had been turned against him by A.
"Kazekage, don't you have anything to say?"
Onoki frowned as he looked at Gaara, who seemed indifferent.
What was the Hidden Sand Village thinking, appointing such a young kid as Kazekage?
It seemed the Hidden Sand was truly useless now.
Gaara glanced at Onoki calmly and said, "I have no objections to Raikage being the Supreme Commander."
This…
Mei and Onoki mentally cursed Gaara numerous times.
As a village leader, do you have no sense of responsibility?
A was quite surprised at Gaara's response, not expecting the Kazekage of the Hidden Sand Village to have no objections.
This kid has his likable points after all.
But ultimately, he's just a powerful kid. A saw no sense of responsibility in Gaara to carry the weight of a Kage.
The Hidden Sand Village wasn't much after all.
Mei and Onoki were left speechless as Gaara's lack of opposition made it harder for them to object.
This kid didn't seem like a proper Kage at all.
The vanguard forces…
Frankly, neither Mei nor Onoki wanted to sacrifice their ninjas just for a commander position.
Raikage might talk about cherishing his subordinates, but in reality, he was still sacrificing his ninjas for power.
Let him have the Supreme Commander position.
As village leaders, they could still command their ninjas.
As long as no major issues arose, it didn't matter if Ay was the Supreme Commander.
"I have no objections," they both finally conceded, exchanging glances.
A's mouth curled into a smile, which he quickly replaced with a stern expression.
"Then, in three days, the Allied Shinobi Forces will launch an attack on Konoha!"
....
Three days later, shocking news spread throughout the ninja world.
The four great ninja villages had unanimously declared war on Konoha.
This news caused an uproar in the shinobi world.
Some were afraid, some excited, and others wanted to see Konoha destroyed.
Konoha, with its fertile lands and rich resources, had long been envied.
At this moment, all the Jonin and elite ninjas of Konoha were gathered in a large conference room.
Most wore green flak jackets, but Hinata and Ryujiro stood out in different attire.
Of course, no one had any objections to them.
To Konoha, Ryujiro and Hinata were their trump cards.
Every face was solemn.
This was the Fourth Great Ninja War, and the ninja armies of the four great villages were already moving towards the borders of the Land of Fire.
They were determined to destroy Konoha.
Even if they couldn't completely destroy it, they wanted to severely weaken it.
The era of Konoha being the strongest ninja village was nearing its end.
"Everyone should be here," Tsunade said, scanning the room seriously.
"The forces of the four great ninja villages will reach Konoha in less than two days.
During this time, we must prepare to protect Konoha and the Land of Fire."
"This is the greatest crisis in Konoha's history."
Except for Ryujiro, even Hinata looked uncharacteristically serious.
Especially Kakashi, who knew all too well the tragedies brought by war.
In the last war, he had lost his two best friends, one of whom died by his own hand...
Kakashi clenched his fists. Such things wouldn't happen again.
He was capable of protecting Konoha now.
The once bustling streets of Konoha were now silent, with doors and windows shut tightly.
The villagers were no longer in their homes, having been moved to safe places by the ninjas and Anbu of Konoha.
In the event of war, their safety couldn't be guaranteed.
Konoha had to join forces and ask for help with the Land of Fire to resist the allied shinobi forces.
"Ryujiro, do you have anything to say?" Tsunade asked, looking at Ryujiro.
At that moment, all the Jonin's eyes turned to Ryujiro.
This young man had become a legend in Konoha, saving it time and again.
Now, Konoha seemed to have an air of leadership because of him.
However, when everyone was expecting Ryujiro to say something, he simply remained relaxed, arms crossed, speaking slowly.
"I have nothing to say, but I do have a reminder."
"What is it?" everyone asked curiously, looking at Ryujiro.
Ryujiro's gaze sharpened, and he spoke seriously.
"If anything, unexpected happens on the battlefield, do not panic, do not fear. Just trust me."
The room fell silent as they all stared blankly at Ryujiro.
Unexpected things often happen on the battlefield, but Ryujiro's words seemed to be warning them that something unpredictable would indeed happen once the war started.
Why was Ryujiro reminding them? What did he intend to do?
Just trust him?
Ryujiro had done nothing to lose their trust. After all, he was Konoha's hero.
So far, Ryujiro had done nothing to harm Konoha's interests.
From the ninja academy to now, they had watched his growth.
He was as reliable as ever.
"I trust Ryujiro," said Might Guy first, Ryujiro being his student.
Though this kid always gave off an air of mystery, Guy trusted Ryujiro.
Konoha had been saved multiple times by him.
One after another, other Jonins voiced their agreement. They all trusted Ryujiro.
Tsunade looked at the many ninjas who trusted Ryujiro and couldn't help but sigh.
This kid was very popular.
"In that case, everyone, be prepared. In two days, we will face the combined forces of the four great ninja villages!"
Tsunade said loudly, her voice heavy with the gravity of the situation.
They then began formulating their strategy to deal with the unprecedented alliance of the four great ninja villages against Konoha.
This time, it was the first time that the four major ninja villages had united to confront Konoha.
They had to take this seriously.
