"I never expected that I would fight side by side with the two of you!"
Standing in the desert, Hanzo said in a slightly emotional tone.
A few months ago, the two sides were still in a state of hostility; a month ago, Hanzo was still a prisoner of Konoha; but now, he was able to join forces with the Third Hokage and Konoha Lightning to fight against the Sunagakure army.
If you tell me this, who would dare to believe it!
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen on the right side of Hanzo smiled slightly, and Tatsumi on the right also smiled slightly.
The three of them can be said to be the ones currently standing at the top of the ninja world.
Throughout the ninja world, three top Kage-level warriors were engaged in a battle, which had never happened before.
In Hashirama's era, Konoha did have this ability, but it was not needed at all. It was enough for the first Hokage to drive the Gundam alone.
When the Konoha Sannin were at their peak, they were comparable to this lineup, but in the original time and space, Tsunade at that time had already suffered from sepsis and was unable to appear on the battlefield.
Later, Orochimaru defected, and even if the Sannin gathered, they were still in a hostile state.
Xiao will be able to do it in the future, but they always travel in two, otherwise they would not die slowly like the calabash boy who saved his grandfather.
You can imagine how difficult it would be to put together such a luxurious lineup without the reincarnation of the dirty land.
"Uncle Hokage, when we fight, please follow me." After hesitating, Chen said softly.
When the plan was first made, the Third Hokage was not taken into consideration.
But the Third Hokage insisted on coming.
This is not because he wants to appear heroic, but because this battle is really important.
If Tatsu's invasion of Kirigakure and kicking the opponent out of the Third Ninja War was an important turning point for Konoha's victory, then blocking Sunagakure this time would tilt the balance further towards Konoha.
Some people may say that if Tatsu invaded Kirigakure Village alone, then together with Hanzo, the two of them should be more than enough to deal with two thousand Sagakure.
But that’s not how the account was calculated.
Kirigakure Village is covered by heavy fog, making it very easy to hide. Moreover, the various civilians in Kirigakure Village and the involvement of Vulpix couldn't form an effective large-scale siege at all.
But this time it's different.
Two thousand sands appeared in the endless desert with no obstruction around them.
It would be very difficult for Chen to think about being as crazy as Kirigakure.
At least that's what the Third Hokage thought. He didn't want anything to happen to Chen.
But he was reluctant to send out Konoha's effective forces. Other high-end combat forces were fighting in their respective theaters.
After thinking about it, he decided to do it himself.
This is a decision made after careful consideration.
But the Sandaime's decision was very painful.
Of course he would not doubt the fighting power of the Third Hokage, but Konoha implemented a centralized village chief system, and the village chief was the largest in the world. No matter what the outcome of this ambush, nothing could happen to the Third Hokage.
But what if an accident happens on the chaotic battlefield
Although there are only two thousand enemies, and the commanders are Rasa and Ebizo, if the enemy discovers the Third Hokage, they will definitely attack like a mad dog.
Looking at Chen's worried eyes, the Third Hokage was a little relieved, but he still shook his head: "When the fight starts, you don't have to worry about me! Excessive distraction will only affect your own battle."
Although the Third Hokage said so, Hanzo still glanced at him and said calmly: "If he died in the Kingdom of Wind and died at the hands of Sunagakure, it might be difficult to collect the body.
I have said something ugly before, if I die, everything will stop, but if you die, Konoha will remove the curse mark on me as agreed! "
Apart from not wanting the Kingdom of Rain to be involved in the war, the other reason why he appeared here was because he was controlled by the curse seal and he had to obey Konoha's orders.
The Third Hokage Yun Danfeng said lightly: "Don't worry about this, even if I die, Konoha will abide by the agreement with you.
And... after fighting, it's not a situation where you must lose or die! "
It's really a losing situation, and the Third Hokage won't come.
There is him here, Tatsu who invaded Kirigakure and retreated, and Hanzo who struggled to support the Kingdom of Rain from collapse. How could he die at the hands of two thousand Sunagakure!
There is no Third Kazekage in the opposing lineup, so what does Ebizo mean to him!
Luosha
He hasn't been taken seriously by Hiruzen Sarutobi yet.
The three of them were silent for a while.
Sunagakure had not yet appeared. Looking at the vast yellow sand in front of him, the Third Hokage spoke again: "The Kingdom of Wind, the last time I came here was before the Second Ninja War.
Remember, Hanzo? "
Hanzo nodded: "Of course I remember. At that time, I, you and the Third Kazekage fought against two people alone, from the border of the Fire Country to the Wind Country, and finally to the Rain Country. No one could do anything. who!"
Speaking of this, Hanzo felt a surge of pride in his chest.
Over the years, he has been dragged down by various mundane things in the Kingdom of Rain. He has not experienced this kind of state of mind for a long time.
The Third Hokage laughed loudly: "That was also the most comfortable battle I had fought since I became Hokage.
Before that, it could only be traced back to the First Ninja War. Unfortunately, as I became Hokage, the number of strikes became less and less. I always wanted to fight again in a leisurely way, but I didn't expect it now. There is a chance. "
After chatting and laughing with Hanzo, the Third Hokage turned his attention to Chen again.
"When I was born, it was the time when the fight between the Senju clan and your Uchiha clan was at its most intense.
By the time I became a little wiser, the Warring States Period was already coming to an end. From childhood to adulthood, I actually didn’t experience many large-scale wars.
In this regard, I am much luckier than your generation, Orochimaru and Tsunade.
Of course, this is because of the First Hokage, and only he can make the entire ninja world peaceful for so long. "
"So, I, the Hokage, am incompetent in my role. You children have gone through two wars, and now you have to perform this kind of mission with me at such a young age."
Chen patiently listened to the Third Hokage chattering about these stories about old friends. In fact, he listened with great interest. After all, if these words were not in today's environment, they would probably rot in someone's stomach for the rest of their lives.
Of course, after the Third Hokage said so much, he naturally wanted to explain something. Sure enough, he changed the subject and continued:
"Back then, the Second Hokage-sama chose to sacrifice himself to protect us younger generations. I will do the same today!
If something unexpected happens, Chen, you go first and don't worry about me.
The position of the Fourth Hokage... is entrusted to your teacher Orochimaru, you know? ! "
Chen nodded and said solemnly: "I understand!"
The Third Hokage's aura condensed, and powerful chakra burst out without concealment.
He grabbed a handful of gravel, stood up, and spread his palms. The yellow sand was blown away by the wind and thrown high into the sky, disappearing into the distance.
Immediately afterwards, he took the lead and rushed towards Sunagakure.
