In Konoha, my ninja cat is invincible!

Asuma did not expect that the Daimyo of the Land of Fire would completely reject him and not even give him a chance to meet. The same was true for those nobles, who had smiles on their faces, but in fact their attitude was terrifyingly indifferent.

Asuma couldn't match these people with those in his impression.

Completely unfamiliar.

Asuma didn't know what went wrong, but after the Fire Nation refused to assist Konoha, Asma knew that Konoha's situation must be extremely bad.

Asuma is worried about the future of Konoha.

"As expected."

After receiving Asuma's confirmed reply, Uchiha Shisui sighed.

Uchiha Shisui looked at Asuma.

"Asuma, don't be sorry. This is not your fault. You did your best."

"Hokage-sama, what should we do next?"

Asuma showed a worried expression and asked, "Is there any reply from Sunagakure Village?"

"No."

Uchiha Shisui shook his head and said: "Now I no longer expect external assistance. Neither Sunagakure Village nor the Land of Fire will help us."

"In this difficult time, the only thing we can rely on is our own strength."

"But I believe we can get through these difficulties."

Uchiha Shisui did not continue to pin his hopes on the outside world.

Instead, he quickly gave the order.

Jiraiya received the news and began to retreat, retreating back towards Konoha.

After receiving the order, the mission ninjas ended their missions and returned to the village.

By shrinking the sphere of influence, the situation in Konoha has been alleviated to a certain extent, and it can be said to have barely resisted the simultaneous attacks of Kumogakure and Kirigakure without any more casualties.

Jiraiya continued to lead the team and fought against two Kumogakure troops led by Bokuto.

The leader of the battle against the Kirigakure army was Kakashi.

Elite Jonin, Kakashi.

Compared with Jiraiya, Kakashi is definitely inferior, the gap is huge.

But with the current situation in Konoha, there are really not many top-level ninjas who can take advantage of it.

As the Hokage, Uchiha Shisui must stay in the village and cannot leave.

"The next step is to form an elite ninja action team."

When faced with a numerical disadvantage, one of the solutions proposed by Shiraishi is to form a flexible support team to support Jiraiya when he encounters trouble and to support Kakashi when he encounters trouble. , support Kakashi.

A list, in the hands of Uchiha Shisui.

Listed above are the names of some elite ninjas.

Uchiha Itachi, Hirako Mako, Xiao Qiao, Hinata Dema...

Those who can join the elite ninja action team are all very capable ninjas.

And it moves quickly.

Support can be in place within a very short period of time.

However, under such circumstances, Konoha had to face another problem.

Namely, the issue of food.

Without the income from mission commissions, with Konoha's background, after all the major ninja families have accumulated decades of accumulation, they can still provide for the village for a long time.

However, the food problem is not easy to solve.

Konoha has money, but it may not be able to buy food.

After the Fire Nation clearly refused to support Konoha, it was impossible to cooperate with Konoha's deal, and it might even use this opportunity to rob Konoha.

In addition, the ninja armies of Cloud Hidden Village and Kirigakure Village, after discovering Konoha's actions, will try their best to stop it. Without food, the people in the village cannot survive.

The village has enough money reserves.

But there are not enough food reserves.

"Has the statistics been calculated?"

Uchiha Shisui looked at the person in front of him.

Uchiha Shisui handed over the statistical work to Asuma.

Asuma's personal strength is pretty good, but given the current situation of the Sarutobi clan, they don't want Asuma to go on the battlefield. After all, Asuma is the only one left in the Sarutobi Hiruzen lineage.

Sarutobi Yasuo arranged for other ninjas from the Sarutobi clan to go to the battlefield.

Asuma nodded, but his face didn't look good.

"Back to Hokage-sama, the statistical results have come out. The current food stock in the village may only be enough to feed the people in the village for half a month. After half a month, there will be a shortage of food."

"Half a month..."

Uchiha Shisui showed a sad expression.

"In this case, we can only arrange for the ANBU ninja to go outside to buy food."

Anbu ninja, acting alone, brings a storage scroll.

For now, this is the only way Konoha can do it, and it must be far away from Konoha, and at the same time, far away from the capital of the Country of Fire.

Action is important, but dangerous.

Konoha's power has shrunk, and there are a large number of ninjas from other ninja villages outside.

In addition to the ninjas from Cloud Hidden Village and Kirigakure Village, there are even many wandering ninjas who have begun to seize the share of mission commissions given up by the Konoha ninjas after their withdrawal.

Because of the shrinkage of Konoha, many bandits have started to return to their old ways.

The stability of the entire Fire Country has been affected to a certain extent.

However, the Fire Nation daimyo and the Fire Nation's nobles didn't seem to care about this.

Still sitting back and watching Konoha encounter difficult situations.

Or perhaps, they want to use this opportunity to suppress Konoha and reduce Konoha's status.

Shiraishi's work is divided into two parts.

Part of it, in the Holy Fire Cult.

With the outbreak of war, the number of believers increased significantly.

When people are confused, they all seem to need a spiritual sustenance.

Shiraishi, the leader, needs to appear more in front of the believers to stabilize their faith. Cats alone are not enough, but with Shiraishi, the effect will be even better.

Miraculously, your existence will make those who are hostile to Shiraishi even more unlucky.

Correspondingly, people who are not hostile to Shiraishi will not be enveloped by bad luck.

In this comparison, joining the Holy Fire Sect, becoming a believer of the Holy Fire Sect, and respecting and admiring Baishi is equivalent to being lucky. Many believers have already felt this.

As a result, the increase rate of believers increased again.

"Lord Shiraishi."

When Shiraishi walked out, the believers saw Shiraishi and saluted one after another.

Shiraishi smiled and nodded in response.

Numbers appeared above the heads of these believers.

"50!"

"47!"

"63!"

…

"Yes, yes. Sure enough, my original strategy was correct. Believers are indeed the best way to increase favorability. It can increase the favorability of others on a large scale."

"Even these people, I have never spoken a word to them."

"The cumulative favorability of these people reaches 90, and they will certainly be able to give me very good feedback."

Shiraishi walked out of the church and headed to the preschool.

A figure entered Bai Shi's sight.
