Chapter 136 Awakening of Uzumaki Mito

It was ten o'clock in the morning, almost noon, in the temporary Hokage's office.

The warm sunlight shines on the mahogany table from the half-open window, but it is blocked by the mountains of documents piled together.

Rusty.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was sitting on a chair, flipping through the documents on the table with one hand, and holding his pipe familiarly with the other hand.

"call!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen brought the cigarette holder to his mouth. The tobacco shreds in the cigarette butt shone slightly, and a few wisps of white smoke rose up between puffs. The fine smoke was carried out of the window by the wind.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen choked after taking a deep breath, frowned and coughed slightly hoarsely.

But after the itching feeling in his throat passed, he still took a puff without stopping.

"Hiruzen, have you been smoking too much lately?"

Mito Kadoyan sat on a chair against the other wall, far away from the window that was constantly sucking out smoke, and reminded: "Although I know you are under a lot of pressure now, you should also pay a little attention to your body, right?"

"Yes, although I don't want to put any more pressure on you, you should also take care of yourself and your family."

Koharu, who was sitting next to Mito Kadoyan, also nodded and sighed: "You have been staying here all this time without even going back home. You didn't even go back for Asuma's child's first birthday."

"Biwako has complained to me several times, and she wants me to advise you, secretly or openly."

Sarutobi Hiruzen acted as if he hadn't heard, his face still full of sorrow.

Ever since the invasion of Sky Country happened not long ago, he has become like this.

Although he is clearly in his forties, he looks as if he is in his fifties or sixties. He seems to be more than ten years older.

The pipe, which was once considered a hobby, is now completely in my hand, and I cough more and more often.

It was like a machine with a bright appearance, but the gears running inside were rotten, making an overwhelmed creaking sound, and giving off an old smell.

"...Ahem, let's not talk about these things for now."

After a long silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed, and then said in a deep voice: "After Musashi stepped down, Hanzo succeeded him, and he officially declared war on the Kingdom of Wind. What do you think about this?"

In the past, the Kingdom of Rain, which had always been weak and bullied like the Kingdom of Grass, actually took the initiative to intervene in the war and publicly declared war on the big powers. This news caught many forces in the ninja world by surprise.

As a small country destined to become a battlefield for big powers, the Country of Rain has been facing economic, diplomatic and military restrictions from big powers all year round. Big powers and Ninja Village have never put such a small country in their eyes.

In the past, even if a small country attacked a big country, it was basically assisting another big country secretly, and it was also playing the role of cannon fodder for the big country.

Hanzo was the first person to stand up and openly challenge the majesty of the great power.

He even had a very tough attitude and had no intention of giving in at all.

It directly disclosed the various atrocities committed by Sunagakure in the Land of Rain, and carried out inhumane massacres of villages in the Land of Rain in order to plunder supplies, which completely touched the most basic moral bottom line of a human being.

The declaration of war in the Land of Rain is not so much a declaration of war as it is a scolding of Sunagakure, pointing at the daimyo and the Third Kazekage.

"What an unexpected development." Mito Kadoyan seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but smile, "The daimyo of the Land of Wind and the Third Kazekage should be very angry now."

He could even imagine the rage of the Third Kazekage and the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.

The provocation of a small country is undoubtedly a great humiliation for them.

What's more, it was the ninja from this small country who seriously injured their frontline commander and temporarily interrupted their offensive.

It can be expected that Hanzo and Amegakure will inevitably face the joint revenge of the Kazekage and the Daimyo.

"There is nothing to be happy about." Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head and looked at the documents and said in a deep voice, "Our current situation is not much better."

He was just worried to death now.

There was so much noise about the attack on Konoha that it was impossible to completely block the news.

The Kingdom of Earth is now ready to take action and wants to beat up the lost dog. Although the Kingdom of Thunder’s attitude is unclear, it is probably also watching with eager eyes.

Their new Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki is indeed not yet useful, but isn't Konoha's Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki also abolished now?

At least they, Kumogakure, still have a two-tailed one.

In this way, once the war actually starts, a third front will be drawn up, or even four fronts will start fighting at the same time.

All that can be done now is to pray that the Kingdom of Rain can persevere to the end and never give way to those jackals, tigers and leopards.

But how is that possible?

In the final analysis, Sunagakure went too far, which made the daimyo and Amegakure village anxious, otherwise they would not dare to resist Sunagakure.

Facing Sunagakure now is already very reluctant. If Iwagakure really takes action, Umagakure will not be able to resist its threats and inducements.

After all, what the Rain Country and Rain Ninja hate is the Wind Country and Sunagakure, and they don’t have much of a conflict with the Earth Country. The biggest problem is that some civilians were robbed and accidentally injured. As long as Iwagakure doesn’t massacre like Sunagakure, they will fine.

"Tsk." When he thought of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt upset and smoked fiercely, letting himself be surrounded by smoke.

When they went to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoyan looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know how to comfort them.

The office fell into silence again.

All that could be heard were the sound of flipping papers, the sound of Sarutobi Hiruzen smoking, and the sound of the wind blowing in.

The quiet environment made people feel a little sleepy, but the silence would always be broken.

Bang bang!

The knock on the door suddenly sounded, and before Sarutobi Hiruzen could speak, he heard the sound outside the door.

"Third-generation sir." The man's tone was a little impatient, "Uzumaki Mito has woken up, but Tsunade knocked out the guard and entered the ward. When we found out, the ward had been blocked by the barrier."

"What?!"

"How dare Tsunade?!"

As soon as these words came out, Mito and Kado Yan's faces changed instantly.

At the same time, a harsh sound came from their ears, and the two turned their heads subconsciously, only to see Sarutobi Hiruzen standing up, his face already livid.

Obviously, he had realized what Mito was going to do.

But this was definitely not the result he wanted to see.

————————-

Half an hour ago, in a ward in Konoha Hospital.

Click.

Tsunade, who was ridiculed by Jiraiya for her carelessness, opened the door with a sound so light that it was almost inaudible.

Looking up, in front of the only window of the white ward, stood a thin figure with a slightly hunched back, looking down at the streets of Konoha outside.

There were faint noises of people outside the window, and from time to time there were crackling sounds of burning and the collapse of giant objects. Those who didn't know would think that they were demolishing the ground, but in fact, what they were doing was no different from this. After all, any new building needs to demolish the original ruins.

What Uzumaki Mito saw was Konoha, which seemed to be shrouded in a faint black smoke. Even with the sunshine and the remaining green plants, it couldn't cover up the crisis that almost affected half of Konoha a few days ago.

A large number of green plants were burned, leaving only black shells. The gray ashes were like heavy snow that came early, covering every place in Konoha piece by piece. Every building was full of cracks, or missing arms and legs.

The more miserable ones, such as the Hokage Building, only have a ruin left, while the better ones, such as the Ninja School or Konoha Hospital.

The former had several big holes, and the latter was directly burned half. After rescue, the other half was left unburned. The overall look was a bit of an impressionist art style that combined lushness and withering to highlight the contrast.

And at least half of everything in front of her was done by her, the human pillar.

In Uzumaki Mito's perception, the whole Konoha was full of malice.

It seemed to cut countless small wounds on her body, squeezed into her flowing blood with great stickiness, and turned her whole body into a collection of hatred.

"Mito Grandma..." Tsunade, who gently closed the door, called softly.

But the figure standing in front of the window trembled, as if awakened from a nightmare, and as if entering a new nightmare.

"Ugh!"

Uzumaki Mito knelt on the ground for no reason, and the nauseous vomiting sound was simply terrifying.

A large amount of pale yellow water gushed out, as if to vomit out all the internal organs.
