Chapter 118:
"What? Ambushed by the Sand Ninja puppet army?"
In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen's eyes narrowed upon hearing the news.
Although tensions had been growing between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, up until now neither side had launched a serious attack. But the deployment of the Sand Ninja's puppet army signaled something far more decisive, the Land of Wind was fully committing to war.
"Gather the troops and prepare to counterattack!" Hiruzen commanded without hesitation.
In response, the ninja forces of Konoha were mobilized, fully armed and ready to move out. After confirming the marching routes and supply lines, the shinobi began to assemble.
Meanwhile, Danzo entered the Hokage's office, throwing a stack of reports onto Hiruzen's desk. "Based on the intelligence gathered by my subordinates, we've confirmed the three main routes of the enemy's attack."
Hiruzen glanced up, slightly surprised by the detailed information. "Are you sure this is accurate?"
Danzo's eyes were cold, confident. "It's accurate. You can count on it."
Hiruzen nodded. "Good. We'll act on this immediately."
