"I understand what you mentioned... As for the contact issue, I will ask Bai Jue to leave a clone at the place where we last met. If you have any information you want to convey, write it down on the note. , buried directly into the soil.”
With Bai Jue's clone as the information transmission intermediary, speed, security and concealment can be guaranteed.
However, Qingyu immediately thought that placing the contact point for transmitting information there might be a consideration to monitor him. After all, he had to go to that place almost every day.
Bai Jue can even master his strength and progress through his daily training...
It's not that Qingyu is too nervous and thinks that "there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me," but he has to think more.
After all, the person standing in front of him now is no longer the warm-blooded and cheerful young man who helped the old lady cross the road when nothing happened, but the ruthless and ruthless man behind the scenes who is full of despair for the world.
But come to think of it, refusing is unrealistic and may lead to suspicion.
So Qingyu said indifferently: "Okay, if there is news to inform me, let Bai Jue put a leaf under my bed. I will go there to find him after seeing it."
This was also a preparation considering the possibility that he might not go to the training ground, so Obito naturally had no objection to this.
"Work hard to improve your strength. You are still too weak now. I look forward to the day when we meet again..."
Before he finished speaking, Obito had already twisted and disappeared.
Qingyu's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he was exhausted, as if he had just fought a fierce battle.
Without him, Obito would have put too much pressure on him.
Moreover, he couldn't figure out Obito's attitude at all now. It was really terrible to feel that his life was not in his own hands at all.
So he didn't mention giving himself another day off, got dressed and went directly to the training ground.
Unconsciously, his desire to become stronger became more and more urgent!
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
There is another person who is also eager to become stronger, and that is Itachi who was deceived by Qingyu before.
Especially now that the atmosphere within the clan has become increasingly weird, and every clan member seems to have undisguised anger on their faces...
But Sasuke, who was almost four months old, gave him great comfort.
Although Qingyu always says that he is a 'younger brother' every time we meet, but... isn't it right to give the best to your younger brother
Just like Shisui who treats him as a younger brother, he also hopes that he can be a good brother and become a good example for Sasuke to learn from.
So let the younger brother control the younger brother. That guy Qingyu is definitely envious of having a younger brother. When Sasuke is older, he will take Sasuke out with him to make that guy envious!
Thinking of this, Itachi became more motivated in training!
It's just that Itachi at this moment probably couldn't imagine that his current whims and thoughts would actually make someone become the shadow of Sasuke's childhood...
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that he also signed up for the ninja school that started in January, and he didn't want to wait any longer.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
In this world with ninjas, the speed of construction can be said to be extremely fast.
Although the night when the Kyuubi wreaked havoc brought heavy pain and loss to Konoha.
But it can be said that the destroyed areas were quickly rebuilt at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although the survivors still cannot forget the pain left behind and the fear at the time, they still have to look forward and survive.
So it didn't take long for Konoha to regain its former appearance.
It's just that the streets are much deserted...
Coupled with the invasion of Kumogakure, it added a bit of a solemn atmosphere to Konoha, so that at night, there were not many customers in the usually popular taverns and unspeakable areas.
Faced with this situation, the villagers can only pray every day, hoping that this 'resurgent' war can quickly subside.
But you don’t need to think about it to know that this is just an extravagant wish after all.
Almost every day, a large number of ninjas rush to the front line with determination, and engage in fierce life-and-death fights with the Kumo ninja who come all the way to invade the border of the Fire Country.
Likewise, a large number of corpses were transported back to Konoha for burial every day, covered with white cloth.
This is only a small part of the sacrifices. There are still more corpses that were not taken away in time, or became rations for wild beasts, or were snatched away by the enemy. After all, the blood stain limit is quite tempting, but The chance of success is just too small.
However, the dead camel was bigger than the horse, so Konoha no longer had the advantage.
But the surviving ninjas are all elites who have been tested for a long time and have experienced hundreds of battles!
As long as the invading Kumo ninja doesn't have the thunderous means to kill Konoha with one blow, then it will turn into a quagmire-like war of attrition.
And if it enters a war of attrition, Konoha, which plays at home, will undoubtedly have the advantage.
The Kingdom of Thunder has come a long way, and both supplies and logistics will be extremely difficult, making it difficult to continue to support them.
So probably every ninja who goes to the front line unswervingly believes that Konoha can achieve the final victory, and their morale is high!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Inside the Hokage's office.
Sarutobi, who once again took over the position of Hokage, couldn't help but rub his temples when faced with Konoha's current internal and external troubles.
The reason why he abdicated was not entirely to give an explanation to other major countries, but because he really felt that he was unable to do what he wanted.
Originally, after Minato came to the throne, everything was developing in a good direction, but a sudden change completely disrupted everything, and once again dragged Konoha, which was preparing to recuperate, into the quagmire of war.
At this moment, Sarutobi could be said to hate the Kingdom of Thunder for taking advantage of the situation, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Because this is indeed the moment when Konoha is at its weakest.
But fortunately, the other three major countries will only be worse than Konoha now, and they will not be able to spare the energy to cause trouble. Otherwise, if the four countries invade, it will be difficult for Konoha to resist.
Dong dong dong...
"Come in."
"Lord Hokage, the Kingdom of Thunder rejected the peace agreement we sent and made many rude demands."
After saying that, a scroll was handed to Sarutobi.
And after Sarutobi read the request for peace talks from the Kingdom of Thunder, he smashed the scroll on the table in anger!
"Yunyin is simply too deceptive!"
"Pass the order, from this moment on, Konoha will immediately enter a level one war alert state!"
"Since the Kingdom of Thunder must continue to fight, let them see the answer of our Konoha ninjas!"
After getting furious, Sarutobi no longer dealt with the mountain of official duties. Instead, he came to the next room, looked at the little Naruto who was sucking milk, and sighed quietly in his heart.
"Minato, you really left me a mess."
