Chapter 339: War Starts
The propagation of information was very slow in this world. By the time the news reached its destination, the matter had either already been resolved or worsened.
Currently, the Hokage was experiencing this situation.
He had received three different scrolls in a short interval. One was from Sakumo Hatake, one was from Jiraya and one was from Tsuchikage.
He opened the first one from Sakumo and read it. His eyes widened in shock after reading that they were late in reaching Takigakure and the strange old man had already taken away the seven-tails. He reported that they are going to follow the man and try to take the seven tails from him.
But now he had already sent his Anbu to call all the clan heads, the shinobi commander, and the Konoha Council.
Then he opened the next scroll. It was from Jiraya. It said that he met with Sakumo but they were late. The old man had already somehow taken away the four-tails and five-tails from Iwagakure.
But the problem came when the Iwagakure found out about them and thought that they had taken their tailed beasts. Jiraya and Sakumo were able to run away from Iwa and are currently returning.
All this brought him to the third scroll. It was an official declaration of War on Konoha by Iwagakure, signed by Tsuchikage and the Daimyo of Earth country.
It was like his hair turned whiter reading this. The war he was trying to avoid had now come to him with full force.
