Shinzo Kuriyama was once a Konoha ninja. Not only did he kill his compatriots and betray his village, but he is now also trying to organize a coup in the Land of Hot Water, thus threatening the peace of the Land of Fire. This not only infringes on the interests of his own country but also poisons the entire Land of Hot Water, a neighboring country of the Land of Fire that is based on peace.
Sakumo had never felt such a strong desire to kill someone. As long as Kuriyama Shinzo is not truly immortal, Sakumo will find a way to ensure he is completely buried in the Hot Spring Village. Although Sakumo is young, he is truly experienced in battle. His killing intent is extremely terrifying.
Even though Yugimoto Kawahiko has good strength, he can't help but sweat. Compared with ninjas from other lands, the ninjas of the Hot Spring Village lack that kind of killing aura. Especially at this level, they exude a momentum that can overwhelm the weak without taking action, similar to how creatures in the Death Forest avoided Sakumo after the end of the Ninja Trial.
"Lord Akimoto, may I ask what preparations the Hot Spring Village has made for this attack?" Sakumo noticed that his murderous intent had affected the two people in front of him, so he immediately put it away and changed the subject.
Yugimoto Kawahiko's handsome face suddenly became serious, and he said, "Of course, we will fight with all our strength. Although the village advocates peace, we will never be soft on the enemy!" The Jashin Cult is a cancer for both the Land of Hot Spring and the Hot Spring Village.
Since Kuriyama Shinzo wants to launch an attack on the Hot Spring Village, he must gather considerable strength. In other words, this attack is also a great opportunity for the Hot Spring Village to strike the Jashin Cult. If all the believers of the Jashin Cult are annihilated here, they will not be able to stir up any trouble for at least the next ten years.
"Haha," Sakumo smiled, then added, "Does the Hot Spring Village have a plan and place to deal with emergencies and civilians to take refuge?" This battle is a large-scale ninja battle and can even be called a small war.
It is inevitable that it will cause damage to the Hot Spring Village and result in casualties. As far as Sakumo knows, the Hot Spring Village has never been attacked since its establishment.
"Of course there are, but we are all laymen in this regard, so I asked you to come over and listen to our plan," Yugimoto Kawahiko said. Any ninja village, no matter how small, must have emergency measures in place. However, even though they have these measures, Yugimoto Kawahiko and the senior officials of the Hot Spring Village are laymen in implementing them. After all, there has been no war in the Hot Spring Village, or even in its history.
Although the last Ninja World War was extremely tragic, the main combatants were the five major ninja countries. The other small ninja villages were not fully formed at that time, so they basically did not even have the qualifications to participate in the war. Additionally, the duration of the Ninja World War was extremely short, lasting only two years. During that period, the five major ninja countries paid a very heavy price.
The second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama and the second generation Raikage were attacked by rebel ninjas from the Lightning Country, and the second generation Raikage was killed on the spot. Even the second generation Hokage, who was known as the fastest ninja, died to protect the third Hokage and others, but the Golden and Silver Horned Forces also suffered near-annihilation.
The second generation Tsuchikage and the second generation Kazekage fought a fierce battle, and both ended up dying together. The leaders of various countries fell one after another, which forced the five major countries to cease fire.
"What we have to do now is evacuate civilians in the shortest time possible, but we can't tell them about the Jashin Cult. This is also the result of a unanimous discussion among the top leaders here," Akimoto said. Sakumo already knew about the confidentiality surrounding the Jashin Cult, but emphasizing it again showed the great importance the Land of Hot Spring placed on it. Being able to eliminate them quietly is naturally the best result.
"I understand," Sakumo nodded. The third Hokage's order was to let him fully assist the Hot Spring Ninja, and he himself couldn't bear to see such a peaceful Hot Spring Ninja Village and its kind people being destroyed. After pondering for a moment, he had an idea.
"The top leaders of Hot Spring Ninja can announce to the public that they are going to conduct an evacuation drill, simulating a scenario in which Hot Spring Ninja Village is invaded by ninjas from various countries roaming around during the Ninja World War," Sakumo said.
The two people in front of him brightened up, and Yugimoto Kawahiko asked, "How should we do it specifically?"
"It so happens that my subordinates just went to the hospital, and they were wearing Konoha's forehead protectors," Sakumo smiled and said. "We can use this to create a fuss. We can secretly send out a certain number of ninjas in batches, disguised as ninjas from different ninja villages, so that the people will believe that this drill is real."
"Since it is an evacuation drill for an invasion, damage is inevitable. So after we have dealt with the Jashin Cult and quickly removed all traces, we will not arouse the suspicion of civilians." Sakumo's method was simple but very effective. Yugimoto Kawahiko was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Okay, thank you very much.
I will discuss this with other high-level officials in the village and implement it immediately to evacuate the civilians in the shortest possible time."
He looked at Oshima Reina and ordered, "Properly arrange accommodation for Mr. Sakumo and his subordinates. Don't neglect our friends."
"Yes," Oshima Reina replied.
Yugimoto Kawahiko left in full swing. Now the evacuation of civilians is the first priority for Hot Spring Shinobi.
Sakumo also followed Oshima Reina directly to the hospital. In front of the hospital, when Sakumo and the others arrived, they happened to meet Minato and his group walking out of the hospital gate.
Sakumo immediately stepped forward and asked about Minato's condition, and Suzuka told him everything the doctor had said.
After listening, he stared at Minato with a strange look and smiled, "If you tell Tsunade about your condition, she will be very excited." Minato was stunned when he heard it.
"Hehe, she has actually been studying medical ninjutsu and wants to popularize it because she believes that if the number of medical ninjas increases, the chance of ninjas dying will be reduced," Sakumo smiled lightly. Minato's recovery ability is indeed abnormal, but fortunately, it is not a bad thing.
As for Tsunade's idea, it seems to have been rejected by the village's top leaders. Because so far, the talents who can become medical ninjas are too scarce. After all, unlike ordinary ninjas, medical ninjas have to learn a lot of relevant knowledge, and the requirements for chakra manipulation are much more stringent than those for ordinary ninjas. In the entire ninja world, the number of medical ninjas is too scarce.
However, Minato admired Tsunade-sama and felt more at ease. Jiraiya-sensei should be carrying out missions with her as the medical ninja.
