There is an ordinary courtyard in the southwest of Muye Village. There is a hollowed-out made of tiles on the courtyard wall. Through the hollowing-out, you can see a small tree in the courtyard. The tree has grown taller and taller.

Two middle-aged ninjas in their thirties stood at the gate of the courtyard, waiting for their last teammate.

"Thusashi, I didn't expect that we would have another day to fight for Konoha."

"Dunmuping, this should be our last battle. I searched for a long time before I found my Zhongnin vest. You and your younger brothers and sisters wash it for you. Look at my vest is dirty, it really damages my glorious image."

"Haha, there's no way, you're always worse than me, just get used to it. By the way, I've seen my son's Chunin vest, and our vests and their style have changed."

"This is our vest from twenty years ago, and now our vest is much more handsome than our old vest."

"I don't know how our sons are in the Kingdom of Wa. I heard that the Mizunobu is powerless to fight again."

"That's right, our son takes action, will the Fog Ninja still have the ability to fight again?"

These two people wearing old-style Nakano vests stood at the door of the courtyard.

One of them pressed his chest with his hands from time to time. This is Duanmu's father. He retired due to his penetrating lung injury. Every rainy day, the wound will itch and even hurt. In winter, the cold wind will make him unable to stop coughing.

I heard that he was going to be recalled, but he has been training these days. Just restoring training has caused his chest to hurt unbearable pain again.

Another middle-aged man, with a concerned look, stared at his old friend's chest, this was Shikuno's father.

Mr. Shun is fine, and he has been dealing with Ninja after retirement. He always comforts himself. He deals with Koushi every day, and it seems that the instinct of fighting has never gone far away.

Because he kept squeezing chakra during his escape after completing his mission, he eventually suffered a hidden injury to his body's nerves. After that, he would suffer severe pain every time he extracted chakra, so he retired.

He believes that he can still make a move to the trap layout now, and the trap layout does not require chakra.

Soon, the door creaked open and two middle-aged women walked out of the door.

One of them was also wearing a Zhongnin vest, but only one arm was left. This was Duanmu's wife, Xiao Yuke.

Although she was wearing a Chunin vest, her face was no longer as capable as a female ninja. Instead, she was full of the tenderness of her mother. The Chunin vest seemed a little inconsistent on her.

Another middle-aged woman was holding a child in her arms. This was Duanmu's mother, Duanmuying. She didn't need to go to the battlefield, but she was the most nervous among the few people.

The father of Takenoha said loudly: "Miss Xiaoyuki, this time we are in a small team!"

Xiao Yuki nodded and said, "I only have one arm. I hope you don't dislike my lack of combat ability now..."

The father who has been holding it for a long time laughed:

"How could it be! Retired ninjas, who can't persist, retire. I am the strongest among the three of us. As the team leader, I will guarantee that you will come back safely."

Duanmu's father said, "Haha, you are still so capable of showing off."

Xiao Yuki also smiled, turned his head with a nostalgic look, and reached out to touch his child for the last time.

The child was very quiet. He reached out his little hand and grabbed Xiao You's two fingers, and smiled happily.

She is too young to know what is about to happen.

Xiao Yuke carefully pulled out his fingers, and her child was still smiling and stretching out his round little hand towards her.

Finally, the three men in ninja vests turned around and left together.

Duanmu's mother held the child and watched the three of them step by step towards the end of the alley.

At the end of the alley is the street, and the three of them are about to turn.

A tear fell on the child's face. Although the child was young, he was very smart. He immediately knew that something bad happened.

The child started to cry loudly, and Duanmu's mother hurriedly coaxed the child.

The crying reached Xiaoyuche's ears, and Xiaoyuche's body paused.

This made the two men around him very heartbroken. The two old men had already seen their sons grow up, so they knew that Xiao Yuki was the most vulnerable mother at this time.

In the end, Xiao Yuke did not turn around and continued to move forward, but instead accelerated his speed.

When they arrived at the street, turned around, the three of them ran quickly and ran towards Konoha Gate.

Tears slid from the face of Chi Chi since childhood, but there was no sound at all.

Countless similar scenes happen in Konoha Village.

More than a thousand Konoha retired ninjas took out the former ninja vest from the old box at home. From the corner of the house, they took out the rusty kunai.

For several nights, the sound of polishing ninja tools echoed in the streets and alleys of Konoha.

The kunai or ninja knife rubbed against the whetstone, which also sharpened the blood of these ninjas that had long been silent.

At Konoha Gate, the Uchiha clan members are maintaining order.

Uchiha Fugao stood in the distance and watched the ninjas gather in front of him.

Defending on the border between Iwa Ninja and Mizunin, each of them dispatched 150 ninjas. These ninjas have just experienced wars and are experienced and powerful. However, the journey is long and it takes four to five days to arrive.

The distance cannot dissolve the near fire, so the village needs to send combat power first to block the Sand Ninja's progress.

There was no temptation at all, and the Sandnin attacked Konoha Village directly.

Among the 1,500 active ninjas in the village, all 700 regular ninjas participated in the battle.

Eight hundred Uchiha guards recruited 200 people, and the remaining 600 people were used as the last barrier of the village.

Nine hundred ninjas are all the combat power that Konoha can draw out now. They have already taken one step ahead and went to the front line to deploy defense.

And now the gathering is the second group of retired ninjas who rushed to the front line, with 1,600 recalled.

Some of them lack one of their limbs and are inconvenient to move, but they stubbornly maintain the dignity of ninjas.

Some have gained weight, their round belly is protruding, and their vests are several sizes smaller, so they can only be worn openly.

Some of them are old and hunched, constantly telling the scenery of their youth to the people around them.

Some are full of scars, which look fierce, but they are just looking, and I don’t know how powerful they are.

This is Konoha's final potential for war!

Even though Uchiha Fugao, who had experienced a lot of battles and had been accustomed to death, could not bear to watch these retired ninjas go to the front line to fight the Sand Ninjas that had been cultivated for three years.

How many of these 600 retired ninjas can survive after the war and retire again?

A Uchiha tribe member stood behind Fugaku and said:

"Clan leader, is it really not for the village to let all of us Uchiha staff go out?"

Fugao closed his eyes slightly, opened his mouth to say something, and finally turned into a gentle sigh:

"Don't say much. Send the heroes of Konoha out of the village!"
Chapter completed!
