Chapter 54 : Mangekyu Eye third technique
The Sand Shinobi and the Cloud Shinobi continue to clash with the Konoha Shinobi along the borders of the Land of Fire.
Even the Mist Shinobi remain on edge, prepared to make a move at any moment.
War is on the horizon.
Konoha Village – High Council Chambers
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sat at the head of the meeting room, his expression grim. Across from him were Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane—his closest advisors and members of Konoha's ruling council.
These were not warriors who would step onto the battlefield themselves, but rather, the strategists and decision-makers responsible for guiding the village through the turmoil of war.
Every major conflict in the past—the First Great Ninja War, the Second Great Ninja War—had seen them in similar positions, planning for victory.
This time, as the Third Great Ninja War loomed, they would do the same.
War is cruel and relentless. For days now, the tension in Konoha had been suffocating.
Hiruzen broke the silence first.
"Danzo, Homura, Koharu, the situation is critical. The Wind Country has long coveted the resources of the Fire Country. I believe our main forces should be directed at countering the Sand Shinobi."
