In Konoha, I collected corpses on the battlefield for ten years

The villages around were consciously targeting them, and the only force that could barely hold on was the Root ninjas that Danzo had planted.

But one fist can hardly fight four hands.

As Qifeng, who went to collect corpses every day, was very clear about the situation of the Konoha Genin inside the terrifying cave at this stage.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that everyone was shouting to beat them.

Therefore, overall, Konoha's situation was not optimistic, and it even felt like shooting themselves in the foot.

The original intention of the plan was good, but they didn't expect that other villages would be so well prepared for the sudden Chunin Exams.

"Asuma, you're here too."

As usual, Might Guy appeared here with sweat all over his face, panting heavily, his eyes full of youthful enthusiasm.

Now, Qifeng's morgue has really become a place for him to rest.

Labor like cleaning is no different from resting for Guy.

Not to mention that the morgue is air-conditioned, and the coolness when you first walk in is just amazing.

"Guy, you're a little early today..." Asuma greeted him listlessly.

Suddenly, he felt that maybe it would be a great choice for him and Qifeng to get an ordinary position and retire in Konoha.

As for Kurenai...

He glanced at Qifeng, who looked indifferent.

Kurenai has been by Asuma Sarutobi's side recently, and he hasn't even had a chance to get close, otherwise he wouldn't have come here to smoke in silence.

Guy skillfully picked up the broom, seemingly talking to himself, but also answering, "The Sand Village's delegation suddenly said they were leaving today, and my training was interrupted, so I can only come here first."

Qifeng, who was squinting on the rocking chair, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up and asked, "Guy, you said that the Sand Village's delegation just left? They didn't even wait for the end of the Chunin Exams?"

"Yes, Qifeng-senpai, isn't it strange, such an important thing as the Chunin Exams, they actually gave up just like that." Guy seemed very speechless.

That's a Chunin, and he hasn't even reached the level of a Genin yet.

"I don't know what those people are thinking, youth! How can you shrink back!" After saying that, Guy rushed into the morgue with a look of bravery, displaying his Thirty-Two Forms Sweeping Technique.

Asuma, who knew Qifeng best, glanced at him in surprise, noticing his solemn expression, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

Qifeng said in a deep voice: "Things are troublesome, but with the Sand Village delegation's abrupt behavior, the higher-ups should have guessed something, right?"

"You mean, you mean..." Asuma's pupils shrank, and he couldn't react for a while.

Qifeng nodded heavily, turned to look in the direction of the Hokage Building.

"War is coming!"

......

The Chunin Exams were forced to stop.

The sudden departure of the Sand ninjas made Konoha, as well as the Mist ninjas and Cloud ninjas participating in the Chunin Exams, realize the seriousness of the situation.

Following the departure of the Sand ninjas, the Mist ninjas, Cloud ninjas, and a group of ninjas from small hidden villages all chose to leave.

Fearing that if they left slowly, they would be stopped by Konoha.

Hokage Building, office.

"Hiruzen! How could you let the Sand ninjas leave?!" Danzo pushed open the door and entered the office with a gloomy face, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was standing by the window smoking, and asked sternly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around, the curling smoke from the tobacco in his pipe blurring his face and eyes.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Danzo walked in with a cane, "Do you know that Rasa, who led the Sand ninjas this time, is a disciple of the Third Kazekage of the Sand Village, and is very likely to become the Fourth Kazekage in the future. If we can detain him, the Sand ninjas will definitely be afraid to act rashly, we..."

"Danzo!" Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted his old friend with a low shout.

Sharp eyes shot out from his old eyes, staring straight at Danzo's eyes, word by word: "We are Konoha!"

We are Konoha!

Konoha, which inherited the will of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the Konoha that would rather give up the Nine Tailed Beasts than adhere to peace, the Konoha that could clearly look down on the ninja world and suppress the four great powers, but chose a peaceful approach.

What's more, the Sand ninjas only showed some wrong signs, and there was no news of anything out of the ordinary.

If the front line reported that the Sand ninjas were launching a large-scale attack on Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi could still consider it.

But now the ninja world is clearly eerily calm, and detaining the delegation from another village would put Konoha at a disadvantage in terms of righteousness.

Although the ninja world is ruthless and can use any means, the preparation of having a justified reason is also necessary.

It is easy to detain the Sand ninja delegation, but in this way, the ninjas of Konoha will feel that their Konoha is doing something wrong on the battlefield, and their morale will be reduced by three points, greatly reducing their strength.

Even if it was not Rasa, the disciple of the Third Kazekage, who came, but the Third Kazekage himself, they could not do this.

Just like the death of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, who went to the Cloud Village to sign an alliance, although it was the private behavior of the Gold and Silver Brothers, it also made the Cloud ninjas a target of verbal criticism in the ninja world, thus falling into a disadvantage in the alliance with Konoha.

This is the best proof.

"Pedantic! Stupid! Stubborn!" Danzo looked angry, scolded three words, and slammed the door and left.

In his opinion, Hiruzen Sarutobi was really extremely pedantic. At this time, he was still talking about etiquette. He should directly detain all the delegations, and then take the lead in sending troops to destroy the Sand Village. The first step in unifying the ninja world would be successful.

Until now, he still chooses to passively be beaten.

The current Konoha is no longer the Konoha that was shaky and needed to endure when the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, had just passed away.

The current Konoha can look down on the entire ninja world.

"Hiruzen is indeed old, he has lost his ambition, the position of Hokage should be replaced." Danzo strode away from the Hokage Building.

Chapter 43 Declaring War (Seeking Collection, Recommendation, Monthly Pass)

The eerie calm did not last for a few days.

Just three days later, the Sand Village finally couldn't suppress the internal strife between the two factions in the village. The Sand Ninja Elder Group, headed by Chiyo, decided to transform internal contradictions into external contradictions.

Otherwise, before the war even started, their Sand Village would probably fall apart.

So, the Sand Village announced to the entire ninja world.

Their Sand Village's Third Kazekage, the existence known as the strongest Kazekage of all time, is dead!

As soon as the news came out, the entire ninja world was in an uproar.
