Chapter 51 Autumn Instant Joins the Battle
After Sunagakure announced the "Konoha assassination of the Third Kazekage," Hiruzen Sarutobi felt incredibly frustrated, but there was nothing he could do.
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that this was a deliberate slander by the other party to divert attention from the problem, and it was no longer a problem that he could solve by explaining.
They decisively put Konoha into a state of war and immediately began to set up a defensive line centered on Konoha.
Konoha's geographical location is both good and bad. On the one hand, it has abundant resources and is a large and rich place.
The problem is that Konoha is surrounded by the four great ninja villages, so Konoha needs to build more defensive lines.
However, the main problems in the war at this moment come from Kumogakure and Sunagakure, so the defensive lines against those two villages need to be even tighter.
After the defensive line is in place, the next step is personnel deployment.
"Jiraiya will go to the western defense line to hold off Sunagakure, and Orochimaru will go to the northeastern defense line to keep watch over Kumogakure."
Upon receiving Hiruzen Sarutobi's order, Jiraiya and Orochimaru set off immediately without hesitation.
Two of the three legendary Sannin have already been sent to the front lines, leaving only Tsunade. Hiruzen Sarutobi knows Tsunade's situation very well; she definitely won't be able to go to the front lines.
Then they stayed behind to perform medical work.
After the roles of the three ninjas were determined, the next step was to mobilize the troops.
Arrangements in this regard were made relatively quickly, since Hiruzen Sarutobi had already sensed the impending war and had nearly completed the necessary preparations.
After spending a long time dealing with these matters, there was still another thing that gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a headache.
It was a letter requesting to join the fight.
In fact, this kind of request for battle is very common. After all, for ninjas, the fastest way to get promoted is to gain battle merits.
Military achievements outweigh seniority and all other factors.
Just like the current Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, who relied on stepping up at crucial moments to accumulate a large number of battle merits and reputation, and became the Kazekage in one fell swoop.
Therefore, during wartime, some ninjas who considered themselves capable would proactively write letters of request to join the battle in order to quickly advance their ranks.
Hiruzen Sarutobi would usually agree, as it would allow capable ninjas to gain merit in battle and contribute to Konoha, creating a win-win situation for both sides.
But this letter of request to join the fight is a little different, because the applicant is...
"Akihi Shun."
When he saw this name, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was very complicated.
On one hand, I don't want Akira Shun to go to the battlefield so early, but on the other hand, I'm proud of Akira Shun.
Ultimately, after careful consideration, Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed to Shun Akihi's request.
Hiruzen Sarutobi genuinely groomed Shun Akihito as his successor to the Hokage position, hoping that Shun could become the Fifth Hokage after the Fourth Hokage stepped down.
If Shun Akihime can perform well in this Fourth Shinobi World War, his path to becoming Hokage will be much smoother.
"Let Akira Shun go in the second batch. Let him rest well and make some preparations first."
......
After Hiruzen Sarutobi issued his orders one by one.
The entire Hidden Leaf Village began to operate.
The ninjas ceased all missions, made all necessary preparations, and assembled at the village entrance by nightfall.
Jiraiya stood on the high platform, announced the marching discipline to the thousands of ninja soldiers below, and then gave a brief pre-battle pep talk.
They then immediately set off for the western defense line to defend against Sunagakure.
Orochimaru and Jiraiya are similar, except that Orochimaru speaks less when giving pre-battle pep talks.
He then led a force of several thousand ninjas to the northeastern defense line to prevent a surprise attack from the Hidden Cloud Village.
As for the northwest defense line against Iwagakure and the southeast defense line against Kirigakure, there was no need to mobilize the Sannin, since Kage-level ninja are not exactly rare.
Those in charge are all clan heads from large Konoha families like the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.
Not just combat personnel.
The post-production department also got busy, with all the military rations and kunai being produced at an accelerated pace.
Almost all of the hospital's medical ninjas were mobilized to go to the front lines as field doctors with the troops.
For an entire day, Konoha Village was never quiet. Ninjas constantly moved through the streets, preparing for war.
the next day.
As soon as Akira got up, he saw a kunai stuck to his front door, along with a piece of paper.
The paper contained the message that his application had been approved, and the Hokage's seal was stamped in the lower right corner.
Akira Shun was not surprised by this.
His reason for applying to join the war was simple: he wanted to gain merit in battle, advance to the rank of Jonin while accumulating reputation, which would make it easier to upgrade his rank to [Kage].
With Akatsuki Shun's current strength: three bloodline limits, one cursed seal transformation, one S-rank ninjutsu, the special mechanism of [Gentle Fist Technique: Flying Leaf], plus the two survival masters [Henjutsu: Living (LV3)] and [Forbidden Technique: Yin Injury Healing].
These attributes make him quite strong even among Jonin. If he avoids those familiar Kage-level figures, surviving shouldn't be too difficult.
Now that he's decided to join the battlefield, he'll probably be away from his family for a while, so Akiga Shun plans to say goodbye to them first.
First, there's the Kurenai family.
"Your application to volunteer for the mission has been approved?"
After receiving a nod of confirmation from Akihi Shun, Yuhi Shinku fell silent.
"You're a year younger than me, and you're going to the battlefield? Why can't I go? I can help you!"
Kurenai threw herself into Akira Shun's arms and held him tightly.
"I can go because I'm a Chunin, and I'm famous. You're just a Genin, and you haven't even graduated for long!"
Upon hearing Akira Shun's words, Kurenai Yuhi raised her head and looked at Akira Shun with unwavering determination.
"Then I'll participate in the next Chunin Exams!"
"No fooling around, Hong!"
Kurenai interrupted Kurenai and looked at Shun: "If this is your choice, then I won't say anything more. The battlefield is dangerous, don't die. Sigh~ because I'm the team leader, my name isn't on the list of participants."
Kurenai, who was already unhappy, looked even more upset after being yelled at. She burst into tears and hugged Shun, her tears soaking Shun's clothes.
"Don't worry, Uncle Shinku, I'm still very strong. Even if I encounter danger, I can escape," Akihi Shun replied.
"strength..."
Upon hearing this keyword, Yuhi Shinku seemed to suddenly remember something.
"It's a real pity. I've always heard that you're very strong, but I've never seen it. If you hadn't participated in this war, I was planning to fight you and see how strong you are."
Akira Shun chuckled twice: "It's alright, Uncle Shinku. There will be other opportunities in the future. When I return from the battlefield, I'll have a match with you."
Ok?
wrong!
After saying that, Akira Shun realized that he had unintentionally set a flag for himself!
