At the same time, the Hokage's office.

Clouds of smoke evaporated upwards and slowly spread through the air, permeating the entire office, as if a faint layer of fog had gathered up in the office.

And in this source of steaming, the three generations of Hokage were crumpling their pipes tightly, completely oblivious to the fact that the entire office was already a world of smoke.

"Ahem......"

The third Hokage took another puff of his cigarette, but he couldn't help coughing, but he didn't seem to care, and his eyes were glued to the scroll in his hand as he coughed.

This is a battle report from the front line, writing about the situation of Yunyin's surprise attack, the loss of three hundred troops, undoubtedly to the Konoha ninja army a head-on blow, so far, Konoha has completely become the disadvantaged and weak side, from the end of World War II, to the present accumulated advantage is gone, it can be said that this is the largest and only defeat of Konoha since the third war.

Is...... In this case, as the Hokage, what kind of face do I have to let Chiba give advice.

At this time, the hearts of the three generations of Hokage were filled with a self-deprecating and worried thought.

Since the outbreak of the Battle of Kikyo Mountain, as a symbol of the beginning of the Third Ninja War, Chiba's strategy has allowed Konoha to be caught off guard by the Sand Hidden Sneak Attack, to balance several other ninja villages, and in this process, it is to allow Konoha to accumulate a large enough advantage, no matter in terms of the number of ninja troops, strength, and morale, Konoha is participating in this ninja war with a victorious attitude, and the losses are so small that he who has experienced World War II is amazed.

But he didn't expect that Chiba just went to perform a defense map mission, and Konoha was caught off guard by two beatings, and instantly fell into the clouds, changing from an advantage to a disadvantage, and even, let a considerable number of enemy troops break through the defense line and threaten the village base camp. And the situation on the front line is not very good, Iwakuin seems to be ready to move, if it is not for Yun Yin to contain it, I am afraid that Konoha Ninja Village will usher in another fierce raid.

And after this fierce raid, Konoha is basically defeated.

This situation is already too bad to be bad!

If...... If I hadn't been so optimistic in my estimation and handed over this fragmentary information to Chiba, maybe this wouldn't have happened, if I could have consulted Chiba more......

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

The three generations of Hokage coughed, his heart was full of self-blame, in the past few years, I don't know if it was because of his health, there were more and more omissions, or he was too optimistic to see such an advantage, he didn't look for Chiba again, but just handed him over to Kushina with peace of mind.

And it was during this time that the deployment of Iwain and Yunyin was successful, and the Konoha ninja army on the front line was defeated, and before they could react, they ushered in Yunyin's surprise attack and suffered heavy losses.

It can be said that during the period when Chiba participated in decision-making, Konoha was always at an advantage, and during Chiba's absence, he fell into the conspiracy of Yunyin and Iwakuin, and this contrast is especially clear to the three generations of Hokage now.

In this matter, it was basically his fault, because of his optimism and negligence, so many Konoha children died on the battlefield, so many parents lost their children, and so many children lost their parents......

All this is his responsibility.

The village has enough decision-makers to prevent problems and turn the situation around, but he didn't use them, which is a mistake in his judgment.

It's all ...... His fault!

"Ahem...... Ahem...... Ahem, ahem!"

And at this moment, the cough of the three generations of Hokage suddenly became violent, halfway through the cough, and even with a "snort", a mouthful of blood coughed out of his throat and splattered on the scroll in front of him, wetting a large scroll and the black text on it.

Sure enough, I shouldn't have been in this position anymore.

Seeing the splattered blood, the three Hokage covered his mouth and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and a few traces of determination flashed in his eyes.

The fourth generation must be selected as soon as possible!

It's just that before the war ends, and in this situation, if the Hokage is replaced, I'm afraid it will cause a series of adverse reactions, and even cause chaos.

Now, too, the current unfavorable situation must be resolved, and now we need a morale-boosting victory.

Otherwise......

Even if the Hokage is replaced, the situation will not change for the better immediately, and the variable of turning to defeat still exists.

This thing, or ......

Thinking of this, the third Hokage put down his pipe, took a slight breath, and said, "Help me call Chiba over." ”

Now, let's discuss it with Chiba first, make a plan, and then discuss it with Koharu and Menyan, as for Tuan Zang......

Still, I'll talk to him later.

The three generations of Hokage pondered.

"Yes, three generations of Hokage-sama. ”

At this time, a figure flashed in front of the desk, and a shadow half-kneeling nodded in agreement, obviously hiding a shadow person who was listening to the Hokage's orders to protect the Hokage at any time, and appeared at this time, responding to the Hokage's request.

"Let's go. ”

The three generations of Hokage waved their hands.

"Three generations of Hokage-sama!"

And at this moment, when the dark part was about to leave, a dark part suddenly flashed next to it, and before the flash appeared, he couldn't wait to speak.

"Huh, what's the matter?"

The third Hokage frowned slightly and asked.

"This is the report of the battle from the front, all the scattered troops have converged with the front-line troops, and we have achieved an unprecedented victory. ”

Later, the shadow department handed the scroll to the third Hokage with a little excitement.

Victory?

The three generations of Hokage were slightly stunned, took the scroll, and frowned even more.

And when he spread out the scroll to look at it, his eyes widened slightly, and an undisguised look of astonishment and surprise slowly emerged.

This......

At this moment, he was speechless.

"Lord Watergate not only repelled Yunyin's raiding troops, but also brought all the lost troops, a total of thirty-one people, one elite upper ninja, seven upper ninjas, seventeen elite middle ninjas, five middle ninjas, and a seed ninja back to the front line, and pursued Yun Yin alone, annihilating thirty Yun Yin elites, as well as seventy Iwain elites who planned to take advantage of the fire to rob, for the time being, Yun Yin and Iwain both put on a retreating posture, and the large forces of Iwain and Yunyin, who were pressing step by step, had retreated for thirty miles. The morale and morale of the troops at the front have stabilized. ”

Seeing the expression of the Hokage he respected, the shadow of the later couldn't hide his excitement.

Watergate...... Unexpectedly......

The three generations of Hokage looked at the battle report, his hands couldn't help but tremble a little, he had always known the strength of the water gate, but he didn't expect that the water gate would be so powerful.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Chiba's previous advice on stabilizing the morale and morale of the army.

"In the midst of this adversity, create a hero, and this hero will save the lost partners one by one in the enemy's blockade. His actions, his heroic deeds, will inspire the main forces, and at the same time deter the enemy. ”

Unexpectedly, the candidate he thought of at the beginning, the candidate he thought of because of the special features of the Flying Thunder God Technique, actually completed Chiba's suggestion, and succeeded in motivating the troops, and at the same time shocked the enemy, making the enemy retreat thirty miles, and even retreating.

Single-handedly, he not only rescued all the scattered troops, but also pursued them alone, achieving such a result......

Although Konoha is still at a disadvantage now, in this battle, Watergate is worthy of the word "hero".

And yes, saved the village, hero!

I really didn't expect that this kid from Watergate would ......

The three generations of Hokage were speechless for a long time.

"There's no need to call Chiba, now, pass an order to the front line, I allow Bo Feng Shuimen to move freely, and all his tasks can be taken at will by virtue of his own judgment. You can also choose your own movements in this war according to your own judgment. ”

After that, the third Hokage took a deep breath and issued one of the greatest privileges he could give in this war.

"Yes!"

Later, the dark part and the dark part that was ordered to pass the word to Chiba before all nodded in response, and in their tones, they were quite excited.

Then, the two of them flashed and disappeared in place.

Watergate?

So...... Just give it a try!

And at this moment, the three generations of Hokage slowly stood up, turned around, and pushed open the window.

"Whew!"

Suddenly, the night breeze poured in, and the entire office was cleared.

Outside the window, a bright moon and silver light poured down.

Full of light!
