"Today's work is finally finished."

After the afternoon work at the ninja school was over, Shiraishi let out a long breath and rubbed his sore shoulders.

"Are you going back now?"

Tsunade walked to the side and poured herself a cup of hot tea and asked him.

"What, Tsunade-sensei doesn't plan to leave now?"

Bai Shi turned to look at her.

"I still have some things to deal with."

"Really? Goodbye then."

Baishi paused, turned his back, left these words, and walked out of the office.

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Tsunade's words came from behind.

On the other hand, Shizune looked at Shiraishi's retreating figure and said, "I always feel that Shiraishi-senpai is a little weird today."

"Is there anything strange? Isn't it the same as usual? Are you too worried, Shizune?"

Tsunade sat there drinking tea, not paying attention to Shizune's words.

"is that so?"

Shizune tilted her head, maybe she was really too worried.

A few minutes later, Shiraishi was already walking on the streets of Konoha. Just like yesterday, he started walking aimlessly on the streets, buying some of his favorite snacks and carrying them in his hands to avoid suspicion.

Early this morning, Konoha's second ninja brigade set out for the border of the Land of Fire to resist the invasion of Sunagakure ninjas.

At this time, the internal power of Konoha can be said to be very weak. In order to ensure that tonight's evacuation plan is foolproof, Shiraishi specifically chose to carry out it at this time.

Before that, Konoha's personnel deployment must be re-examined to prevent the situation from getting out of control.

Even if a large number of ninjas are dispatched to the front line, there are still a large number of ninjas stationed in Konoha Village, and there cannot be any carelessness and luck.

Especially in some important areas, there will often be dark parts wandering nearby to avoid problems in those important areas.

Very good, basically there are no changes. After taking a round of inspection as usual, Shiraishi thought to himself.

Konoha's patrol personnel and ANBU's activity locations are basically the same as they were during the survey a few days ago, without much change.

In this way, there is no need to temporarily change the retreat route, which would only cause accidents.

Next, we only need to wait until eleven o'clock at night to officially implement the evacuation plan.

The moon hangs high in the sky, and the light it shines on is extremely gentle. The evening wind blows slowly through the forest, gently swaying the branches and leaves. There is peace in the forest beyond the leaves.

Four Konoha ninjas were patrolling nearby, the leader of which was a jounin, there was a chuunin in the team, and the remaining two were genin.

"Next let's go there and have a look. Although this is near the village and no one will come to attack us under normal circumstances, we can't completely relax."

The Jonin captain gestured with his eyes to the forest shrouded in darkness in front of him.

"yes."

The three team members nodded in agreement and followed the Jonin captain towards the dark forest.

The forest was shrouded in darkness, and the surrounding environment could only be seen clearly with the help of moonlight.

The four of them carefully patrolled here and found that there were no problems. When they were about to start patrolling on the other side, a wisp of breeze blew gently from the darkness of the forest——

"wind?"

The Jonin captain squinted his eyes and felt keenly that the breath of the wind was different from the breeze that naturally blew in the forest.

"Be careful, retreat!"

Without thinking too much, the Jonin captain immediately shouted and looked for a thick tree as a cover to protect himself.

Another chuunin and two genin also hid behind thick trees.

A strong wind suddenly blew violently from the darkness, and the shimmering white blade of the wind left claw marks ravaged by wild beasts on the ground.

"A ninja from Hidden Sand Village? This powerful wind escape..."

The Jonin captain hiding behind the trees frowned in pain.

I saw a wound on his arm that was struck by the blade of wind, and blood was flowing continuously.

The jounin captain covered the wound with his hand to prevent blood from flowing freely, while carefully looking towards the dark forest, hoping to locate the person who used wind release ninjutsu to sneak attack on them.

"Not."

Light and soundless, a light black shadow suddenly fell on the Jonin captain's shoulder.

The voice suddenly appeared, and the Jonin captain's expression changed drastically. He turned his head and looked over, meeting a pair of eyes shrouded in lightning.

Lightning flashed all over his body, and the Jonin captain groaned in pain.

His body hid in embarrassment, his whole body was paralyzed, and his body stood up from the ground tremblingly.

This time he saw clearly who was attacking him.

No, that's not a human at all.

It was just a dark cub about the size of a pet cat. Its whole body was wrapped with wandering thunder and lightning, and its small body was filled with an extremely dangerous aura.

The Jonin captain's face was covered with cold sweat.

This black beast is very fast, and its lightning escape ninjutsu is very dangerous.

If I hadn't been alert enough, I might have revealed where I was just now.

Immediately afterwards, he smelled the faint smell of blood floating in the air here again, and looked to the side.

Three of his subordinates fell into a pool of blood at some point, losing the breath of life.

A girl wearing a miko costume floats in mid-air about one meter above the ground. Her whole body is surrounded by a wind field that can be seen with the naked eye, and countless white shimmers are condensed in the wind field.

These two guys are——

Realize the break here.

The broken body fell to the ground, blood splattered all over the ground.

The dark cub jumped onto the miko's shoulders, looked at Konoha ahead, and said to the surrounding air: "Come out, all the patrols here have been dealt with, and now it's your job."

"yes."

In the darkness of the forest, dozens of figures emerged.

"Sister Tianyu, let's go. My father must be waiting impatiently."

After Lei Mingwan finished speaking, Tianyu Nu just nodded silently.

The body became farther and farther away from the ground, rising to an altitude of more than a thousand meters before slowly stopping floating upward and stagnating at this height.

Looking down from here, the buildings in Konoha Village are as big as ants.

10:51 p.m.

The night sky was pitch black, like ink rippling on rice paper, and the moon appeared half-hidden in the clouds.

In Konoha Village, it is a quiet and peaceful evening scene.

At this time, most of the villagers have fallen asleep and have finished a busy day of work.

The doors of some stores are not closed, and the lights are turned on inside the store, and the lights are shrouded outward, illuminating the road in front of the store.

Occasionally, a few drunkards would pass by the store with their arms around each other, and their shadows would occupy the entire street.

——Kakashi looked at the moon rising high in the sky from the window of his home, his eyes were deep and silent, as if he already knew what would happen next.

——The Third Hokage worked overtime until this point before finishing today's work. During the war, his work also became busy. He was walking on the road home alone. There was no one in sight on this street, only one class of ANBU.

Follow and protect in secret.

——Tsunade family.

"Tsunade-sama...it's already this hour, aren't you still asleep?"

Shizune drowsily hugged a pillow and wore pink and white pajamas. She came to the study with sleepy eyes and found that Tsunade was writing something with a pen under the desk lamp. She must be taking notes for tomorrow's class, so she rubbed her eyes. asked.

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep first, Shizune. I still have some work to finish."

Tsunade turned her head and smiled gently at Shizune.

Shizune nodded, followed Tsunade's words, hugged the pillow and returned to her room to rest, as she had to get up early the next day.

——Hyuuga family.

"Ten fifty-seven...that's the time."

Ayane looked at the time, which sounded like she was complaining to others.

The one who responded to her was Hinata Touma Jounin.
