Level 1 combat readiness status.
This means that Konoha is facing a huge crisis and may be invaded by the enemy at any time.
Since the establishment of Konoha Village, in the more than fifty years, such alarms have only been sounded a few times. The last time was the Battle of Mount Kikyo during the Third Ninja War, when Konoha was almost beaten to its doorstep.
With the piercing siren sounding.
Konoha's Anbu, Police Department, Barrier Squad and many other departments quickly entered a combat state according to their respective divisions of labor.
Thousands of villagers also poured into the shelter under the guidance.
The land of the Uchiha clan.
After hearing the alarm, hundreds of tribesmen immediately put on their battle robes and ninja gear and gathered in front of the building of the Meat Modification Department.
"Didn't we just receive a notice last night that we, the Uchiha clan, are required to gather our elite and go to the front line today? What is the situation now?"
A group of Uchiha gathered together and talked a lot.
Dan walked downstairs with long strides.
Konoha's appearance as if facing a formidable enemy made him realize that something was probably going on on the frontline battlefield.
It seems that Nagato took action.
At this time.
Whoosh.
Anbu Tenzo came in a hurry to convey the Third Generation's wishes and asked Dan to assist him to go to the Hokage building immediately for a meeting.
Dan did not leave immediately, but asked in front of everyone:
"What happened?"
Tenzo hesitated for a moment, knowing that sooner or later he would have to disclose this matter, so he could only tell the truth:
"The Konoha army was attacked by Akatsuki last night. Their leader, Akimichi Torifu, was killed in battle. There were more than 2,000 casualties. It was complete defeat."
What? !
Hearing this, everyone present showed horrified expressions and felt extremely unbelievable.
Konoha's three thousand army was just gone overnight... just like that?
Akatsuki's power is actually so terrifying.
When everyone came back to their senses, their first reaction was to feel lucky.
Uchiha is a warmonger clan, and many clan members were eager to rush to the front line and make contributions on the battlefield.
Now it seems that they was lucky to have escaped.
Fugaku and Shisui both looked at Dan at the same time.
Damn, had you expected this to happen?
Tsunade was shocked and scared.
If she had agreed to the Sandaime and gone to the battlefield on a whim, she would have died at the hands of the enemy just like Akimichi Torifu.
Samui was also shocked, and then quietly retreated, wanting to send this heavy piece of information back to Kumogakure as soon as possible.
When everyone looked panicked.
Only Dan smiled.
"I'll be back as soon as possible."
He said nothing to Fugaku and the others, and followed Tenzo to the Hokage Building.
The Hokage's office.
The three of them, the Sandaime, Koharu, and Homura, were all sitting on the sofa in silence with their brows furrowed, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed like they could hear the sound of a drip water.
Half an hour ago.
The Hokage Building received a battle report from the front line, and the content was a nightmare.
After repeated confirmation by Konoha's intelligence department, the authenticity of the battle report was verified.
The Third Generation finally decided to sound the first-level combat readiness alert.
There was silence for a while.
"Torifu should have spent his old age peacefully, but I asked him to come out in the name of Hokage. It was me who killed him."
The Sandaime put down the intelligence document with trembling hands, his face full of regret and self-blame.
Koharu and Homura looked at each other, and then spoke one after another:
"Hiruzen, Torifu sacrificed his life for the will of Konoha and Fire. His death is honorable."
"Although it is cruel to say this, there is no time to remember the dead now. Konoha is facing an unprecedented threat, and we must take action."
For Konoha, the destruction of three thousand troops was undoubtedly a very heavy blow.
To put it bluntly, Konoha is now at a critical stage of life and death.
Just when they were talking.
With a bang, the door was pushed open, and Uchiha Dan strode in.
Seeing Dan, the Sandaime had mixed emotions.
Although he was very afraid of Dan's power, facing an enemy like Akatsuki, the only people in the village who they could really rely on were the Uchiha clan headed by Dan.
"what's going on?"
Dan came in, asked directly without any nonsense.
"Dan, you should take a look at this information first." The Sandaime picked up the information with a solemn expression and handed it to Dan.
Said above.
There were only six enemies who attacked the Konoha army at night. They claimed to be Pain, the leader of Akatsuki. Although they had different abilities, they had exactly the same Rinnegan.
With only six people, they defeated Konoha's three thousand army.
If the opponent rushes into Konoha at the fastest speed and attacks the mainland of Konoha, can Konoha... be able to resist it?
Snap.
After Dan finished reading, he threw the document on the coffee table and shook his head:
"This information is not accurate. The so-called Pain Six Paths are just puppets made of six corpses. The real person manipulating them behind the scenes is Nagato."
Hearing those words.
"Why are you so sure?" The Sandaime was surprised.
Dan did not answer, but narrowed his eyes and asked:
"Hokage-sama, how much do you know about the Rinnegan?"
The Sandaime couldn't help but frown: "I only know that the Rinnegan is the eye of the legendary Sage of Six Paths. He once calmed down the troubled times and founded the Ninja Sect."
But legends are legends after all, and not many people will take them seriously.
not to mention.
Since the Six Paths Sage, the Rinnegan has not appeared in the world for more than a thousand years, so even a knowledgeable person like the Sandaime knows nothing about its abilities.
"The Immortal of Six Paths is real."
Dan continued the Sandaime's words and slowly revealed an astonishing secret, "In the Naka Shrine of our Uchiha clan, there is a thousand-year-old stone tablet left by our ancestors. It clearly records that the Uchiha clan is the descendant of the Sage of Six Paths. ."
Is there such a thing?
When the three people present heard this, they were surprised again, but what shocked them even more was what came next.
"According to the information on the Uchiha Stone Tablet, the Rinnegan is the ultimate form of Sharingan evolution. It is dozens of times, or even a hundred times more powerful than the Mangekyo Sharingan! Therefore, Nagato single-handedly defeated the Konoha Three Thousands of troops, I'm not surprised at all."
Dan's words made the three old guys stunned on the spot.
After a long while.
Koharu and Homura came to their senses and immediately angrily asked Master Dan:
"Why didn't you tell us something like this earlier?"
"Uchiha Dan, as the Hokage's assistant, you deliberately failed to report the knowledge and watched three thousand Konoha ninjas fall into the tiger's mouth!"
They finally understood why Dan kept pushing the envelope and refused to send the Uchiha clan to the front line. It turned out that he had already known how powerful Nagato was.
Dan spread his hands, seemingly helpless:
"It was the Sandaime's decision to declare war on Amegakure, and I am not qualified to object. Besides, I just read the information that the Konoha army was wiped out by Pain's Six Paths, and I finally confirmed that Nagato has the Rinnegan."
"Stop making nonsense!"
The Sandaime gave a deep drink and stopped the meaningless quarrel between the two parties.
Then, he looked at Dan with burning eyes and asked the latter: "Dan, since the Uchiha clan has mastered the relevant information about the Rinnegan Eye, they must be able to come up with a way to deal with Nagato, right?"
However, what disappointed him was.
Dan shook his head:
"I've said it before, the power of the Rinnegan is a hundred times more powerful than the Mangekyō Sharingan. Don't blame me, even if the entire Uchiha clan comes together, I'm afraid they won't be Nagato's opponent. However, I do have a suggestion. …"
At this point, Dan paused for a moment, as if he was hesitating whether he should say it or not.
"What suggestions?" The Sandaime asked with a frown.
"I think that before Nagato attacks Konoha itself... we should take the initiative to surrender to Amegakure Village."
He kept staring at the three old guys in front of him and said something shocking.
As soon as these words came out.
The Sandaime, Koharu and Homura all opened their mouths wide, shocked beyond measure, and then... intense anger surged in their hearts.
A bang.
This time, even the third generation couldn't help but rise up and angrily yelled at Dan:
"Dan, do you know what you are talking about?"
Konoha, as the leader of the five great ninja villages, has to surrender to a small Amegakure village just because of a defeat in a war?
What a joke!
Koharu and Homura also shook their heads with disappointment and sneered at Dan's proposal.
To know.
Since the founding of Konoha, there have been three ninja wars in the past few decades. Almost every time, there was one enemy against many. No matter how difficult the process was, victory was won in the end without exception!
Surrender?
This word has never appeared in Konoha's dictionary.
"I know exactly what I'm talking about."
Faced with the Sandaime's reprimand, Dan looked indifferent.
Dan sighed and said with a long look:
"After more than a thousand years, the Rinnegan reappeared in the world. This means that Nagato is probably the reincarnation of the Six Paths Sage.
According to the records on the Uchiha stone tablet, Nagato, who has the Rinnegan, is destined to calm down the troubled times and unify the ninja world like the Sage of Six Paths back then.
If Konoha surrenders to Amegakure, we may be able to usher in peaceful reunification, but if we resist to the end, only destruction will be waiting for Konoha..."
"Shut up!"
"Nonsense!"
Koharu and Homura couldn't bear it and scolded him, thinking that Dan was completely a coward.
The Sandaime remained silent, secretly frightened.
because.
The words that came out of Dan's mouth at this time were surprisingly similar to what Jiraiya said.
Jiraiya's apprentice is the son of prophecy, who will bring unprecedented peace or destruction to the ninja world.
This is a prophecy once made by the Great Toad Immortal of Mount Myoboku. And this prophecy is completely consistent with what is recorded on the Uchiha Stone Tablet.
Is all this just a coincidence?
Whoosh.
Dan stood up, looked down at Koharu and Homura on the sofa, and said coldly:
"No matter what, it is impossible for the Uchiha clan to go out and become the enemy of Nagato. He is the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths and has unrivaled power. Even if the first Hokage, known as the God of Ninja, is resurrected, he will never be Nagato's opponent. Therefore, If Nagato comes to Konoha, Uchiha will be the first to surrender."
These words have already lifted Nagato to the sky. Even if Nagato himself were here, he would probably be astonished.
Finished.
Dan then slammed the door with a bang and left, leaving the three of them looking at each other.
