Konoha: Start with omniscience and omnipotence

Chapter 198 【198】Misplaced news

night.

Coastline of the Land of Fire, fishing village.

Momojiro lay on his back in a thick pile of straw, his back was so itchy that he couldn't sleep.

Unlike those ninja masters who fight and kill every day and can earn tens of thousands of taels from just one job, the thousands of civilians like him who live in the Land of Fire mostly live a life of rising sun.

A life that lasts until sunset.

As the son of a fisherman, even though Momojiro is only nine years old after his birthday this year, he still has to get on the boat and go to sea with the adults.

Before today, Momojiro had always longed for this kind of working life.

Children always naively think that as long as they can be self-reliant on the sea and sell fish and bring money home like their father did, they will not have to be angry with their stepmother like before, and they can take two more spoons when serving rice.

, I won’t be scolded by my family from morning to afternoon just because I was greedy and ate half of my brother’s dried fish.

It wasn't until today, when he followed his father and worked bent over on the board of the boat all day, that the scorching sun on the sea caused all the skin on his back to peel off, that Momojiro had a slightly confused understanding in his heart.

Understand the concept of the word 'life'.

He will probably be as tan as a mountain monkey like his father in the future, right?

"ah--!"

Momojiro, who was dreamily thinking about his future appearance and was about to fall asleep, suddenly heard a short scream coming from the village.

However, before the pharmacist Kabuto Nou could speak, he heard another kind male voice coming from behind Mito Monobu.

"I finally learned some ways of being human."

It seemed that everyone present was stunned in unison.

Although this young man is only seventeen years old, based on his single-sword performance, no jounin here will underestimate him. In most cases, the entire front line even vaguely regards him as the deputy commander.

One of the candidates.

During this silent waiting, the Jounin of Konoha who were originally assigned to guard various places returned to the headquarters camp one by one.

"Then the companions who died in the Kingdom of Rain are nothing!"

Everyone cursed.

"The safety of the Third Hokage is the most important and must not be compromised."

Although everyone has received more or less news about the massive defeat on the front line of the Kingdom of Thunder recently, I heard that Lord Jiraiya's troops almost did not withdraw from the encirclement.

"He probably also knew that he should avoid suspicion after getting the news of Hiruzen's expedition."

However, no one expected that the situation would be so serious that even the front line they had laid on the Rain Kingdom front line would be nullified.

"Announce it."

He stumbled out of the hut, where the bodies of his father and mother were already cold.

The next moment, the 'mouth' opened from the abdomen, and the half-grown child was swallowed into it.

Before he could react, there was another series of painful screams and screams outside. Occasionally, it seemed that a muffled popping sound could be heard, which was very similar to when his father stood on the board of the boat and held up the harpoon to hit the big fish.

The noise made.

There was silence in the camp for a long time, but no one left.

He doesn't do it for money or food like the bandits.

While lowering his head to handle official duties, he asked casually:

"What's the matter?"

Soon there was no sound.

Immediately afterwards, the pot exploded.

"The village has its own strategic intentions."

How can this be recognized by everyone?

"enough!"

On the other side of his desk, Yamanaka Kaku's figure appeared quietly.

What caught his eye was a strange, clay-like, pale humanoid object that emerged from the ground.

My father's crooked head happened to be facing here, and his body, which was losing its temperature, was still twitching slightly.

Akimichi Choza, who was also familiar with Hatake Sakumo, saw his appearance now and stepped forward to ask in confusion.

"I was about to report to you."

At this moment, I saw Aida Masaki with a similarly gloomy face, grabbing a secret order scroll and standing up:

"Secret Order from the Hokage Building."

"Mitomon-sama, I ordered it to be delivered urgently."

Momojiro stood there blankly.

Konoha has placed several large outposts along the coast of the Land of Fire, unaware of what is happening behind them.

"Okay, I get it."

However, before they could run into the house, a tall, thin man with a forehead protector suddenly appeared and nailed both of them to the ground with one knife.

A middle-aged man who had quit smoking for many years stood at the door of the headquarters camp, smoking cigarettes one after another. There were more than a dozen half-burned cigarette butts on the ground, and the whites of his eyes were covered with bright red bloodshot eyes.

Until the end, all that was left in his mind was the wave-like symbol on the shark-toothed ninja's forehead.

Although he is the acting Hokage, he also knows the channels that Hiruzen needs to obtain information from on a daily basis.

"That's right! Ninja!"

——Don’t come out.

Momojiro's body suddenly stiffened.

"Execute it."

As the commander-in-chief, Hatake Sakumo is undoubtedly the person with the heaviest responsibility and the heaviest workload among the entire army.

What danger could there be in a place like that?

Obviously, the Hokage Building clearly wants to suppress their achievements, because they are afraid that their achievements will shock the master.

Mito Kadoyan paused in writing, subconsciously raised his head and pushed up his glasses:

"Something happened over there too?"

Men, women, old people, children.

For those in power, having clear ears and eyes is undoubtedly one of the most important things.

Momojiro stood in the center of the village.

Everyone looked at him.

Blood accumulated on the muddy roads in the village and formed small streams. There was a strong and stinking smell of rust everywhere, and corpses of familiar faces were everywhere.

"."

It wasn't until his body became stiff and numb from curling up, and the originally dark sky turned fish-belly white, that the young child with a blank brain suddenly woke up and hurriedly crawled out of the straw pile, rolling and wrestling.

Looking at the rising sun in the east, Hatake Sakumo had no expression on his face.

The moment he heard this order, the air in the frontline camp became quiet for a moment.

The girl hidden under the animal mask handed over a secret order and quickly conveyed:

"Sir, there is news from the Hatake headquarters located on the front line of the Kingdom of Rain."

"You bastard! What do you mean by retreating to the second line!"

Until finally, after Hatake Sakumo took the lead to leave the camp, everyone looked at each other with expressions of bewilderment and confusion.

"Ninja."

"yes!"

He held his breath.

"Sakumo-sama, what's wrong with you?"

At this moment, Momojiro suddenly felt grateful to his stepmother for treating him harshly and allowing him to sleep in this smelly, empty thatched hut.

The figure of the pharmacist Kabuto Nou suddenly froze and froze in place.

Seeing this upstart ANBU next to Hiruzen, Mito Kadoyan nodded.

His expression was slightly serious, and he quickly glanced at the secret order.

After a while, the pale figure disappeared into the ground again and continued to follow behind this huge Kirigakure army.

It has to be said that both Hiruzen's expedition and the election of the fourth generation after the war greatly interfered with the thinking of Mito Kaden, the consultant elder, and subconsciously associated all actions with this important matter.

He seemed to suddenly remember something, and a raging fire burned in his chest.

[Hearing that there is a gap on the front line of the Land of Thunder, our troops will withdraw from the front line of the Land of Rain and retreat to the Andoji-Mt. Kikyo line to clear the march route for the Third Generation, plan logistics routes, and ensure the security of the territory]

"At the same time, it is responsible for the evacuation of the troops on the front line of the Huolei border and the transportation of supplies, ensuring the safety of the marching route of the Third Generation's troops."

With just this sentence, all the shouts and curses in the tent were suppressed.

Bai Jue showed him a cheerful smile.

Hokage Building.

In a hazy moment, he seemed to have met Mojiro's eyes, so he endured the pain of dying and shook his head tremblingly.

Mitomon Yan read the information several times and made sure there was no problem before nodding:

"Sakumo takes the overall situation into consideration, so please allow Andoji's headquarters to provide support."

"Then I'll go down first, Mitomon-sama."

In this extreme fear, Momojiro lay firmly in the depths of the straw pile, watching this scene helplessly, covering his mouth with both hands to suppress the cry that was about to burst out of his throat.

Thinking of that extremely shocking scene, Momojiro's mind suddenly went cold and he woke up immediately.

She didn't know what Aida-sama wanted to do.

He woke up suddenly.

There was an extremely natural and gentle smile on his face.

In front of him, pharmacist Kabuto Nou was half-kneeling quietly on the spot, waiting silently.

"I also said that this little guy also wants to have a hand in the Hokage matter."

However, not everyone has this thing called strong eyesight.

The Country of Rain, Konoha Frontline Command.

The gushing blood quickly dyed the ground red, and the body twitched with difficulty, trying to struggle and escape.

"Who the hell gave this order? What does it mean to ensure the safety of the Hokage's troops during their march?!"

"No mistakes."

When Nara Shikaku saw Master Sakumo's sad face, he immediately understood that there must have been some crazy order in the village, and the skin between his eyebrows subconsciously squeezed out wrinkles.

Finally, he closed his eyes and whispered:

Hatake Sakumo also opened his red eyes and looked at everyone present.

"It's Juejun."

When everyone was almost there, Hatake Sakumo sat back down, opened his red eyes that had been up for countless days and nights, and turned to signal to Aida Masaki:

"Um."

Killing the owner of the family was not enough, even the younger brother who was originally hiding in the jar in the corner of the room was dragged out with hoarse wails and cut into two pieces with a knife.

He didn't rob anything, it seemed like the night watchman in the village accidentally discovered them.

The little kid got up from the pile of straw, and then lay down as if he remembered something. He quickly opened up the layers of straw and buried his thin and small body to the deepest place.

The gap between the straw, looking out.

On this front line, Hatake Sakumo has absolute authority.

Seeing this, the captains of other frontline teams no longer asked any questions and gathered in the camp one after another.

"We have been stationed here for nearly half a year with one-third of the enemy's strength!"

All the companions who died on this front are meaningless.

"what did he say?!"

Since it is him, there will definitely be no problem.

Momojiro could hardly bear the sourness in his nose.

Then, the shark-toothed ninja wearing a forehead protector immediately rushed to another house.

Only Aida Masaki and Yueguang Zhengyi beside him looked calm.

"The action was almost exposed."

Pharmacist Kabuto Naiyu nodded and was about to leave immediately.

"etc."

What's even more annoying is that this secret order from the Hokage Building clearly requires them to give up all the advantages they have gained in the past six months and instead protect the safety of the Third Hokage's headquarters.

Momojiro still remembers that when he was younger, the village asked his father to take people to the nearby Konoha mission point to release a mission in order to clean up the bandits on the nearby trade road.

After hearing this, the two of them left the office.

"The Land of Rain?"

Momojiro didn't dare to move.

"Crack, bang."

He turned his head subconsciously.

"Now it seems that he doesn't have so many ideas."

What does this mean?

This shows that the Kumogakure army located in the northeast of the Country of Fire has almost pushed the front line nearly a thousand kilometers towards the Country of Fire.

And these people, outnumbered and outnumbered, have maintained an advantageous situation in the Country of Rain for almost half a year, and are about to be abandoned by themselves.

Just after reading it, a faint smile suddenly appeared on that wrinkled face like an old orange peel, and he reached out and tapped on the report:

"This boy Sakumo."

A woman wearing a standard ANBU uniform suddenly appeared in the Hokage's office.

However, she doesn't need to know that much.

On the scroll of secret orders in his hand, it was clearly written:

Although his fighting skills are very unfamiliar, Mito Kadeni, who has been serving as the financial advisor for twenty years, is very familiar with all matters in the village, and has transformed into a professional

Administrative talents.

Inside the camp, the crowd was excited.

The weird man wearing a forehead protector just smiled, revealing a pair of ferocious shark teeth.

You must know that the 'Andoji-Mount Kikyo' line is the second front of the Land of Fire, and currently belongs to the absolute 'rear area'.

The screams in the village went from dense to sparse, and finally to almost non-existent. The last few screams came from very far away. It seemed that those who escaped from the village with difficulty were also caught and killed.

Bai Jue muttered to himself.

Suddenly, Hatake Sakumo, who was sitting in the middle of the long table, shouted.

Everyone present turned to look at Aida Masaki.

"The joint operation specially requested by Madara-sama cannot cause any accidents."

It seemed that he had guessed something.

As the Hokage's agent during the war, Mito Monobu was sitting at his desk handling official duties, approving various reports one after another.

Hatake Sakumo glanced at the Konoha ninjas who were still busy around him and shook his head calmly:

"Go in first and we'll talk later."

"From now on, the Rain Flag Wood Army Headquarters will withdraw from the existing front line and should retreat to the Andoji-Mount Kikyo line within ten days to take charge of the second-line defense mission."

Only ninjas can defeat ninjas.

Mito Kabuto looked down at himself, analyzing in a low voice that only he could hear, and gently rubbed his chin with his fingers.

In addition, it is also because giving up the achievement of annexing the Rain Country will cause far less harm to everyone present than Hatake Sakumo.

No one is an exception.

"No."

"Who did you get this information from?" Mito Monoyan seemed to remember something and frowned, "Why didn't you go through the formal channels this time?"

Soon, he saw his father and stepmother who heard the noise rushing out of the house naked, holding harpoons or dung forks in their hands, and then hid in the house as if they had seen some horrific scene.

Therefore, the entire village will be killed.

However, just when he was about to go there to find the ninja masters of Konoha to avenge the village, a frivolous voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"These guys are really careless."

Mito Menyan suddenly stopped her.

Namikaze Minato looked at him with a slightly obscure look.

"Damn it! Aren't the troops on the front line of the Land of Thunder five times ours?"

'Yes, are they bandits?'

Less than three days after this, the news that Hatake Sakumo was about to 'actively' withdraw from the Rain Country battlefield to escort the Third Generation, spread throughout the upper levels of Konoha.

The other party has not sent a contract yet, and there is no news.

Hey, I have to find a book friend to tease them.

So angry.
