Seeing Chiba staying on the bed obediently, Keiko put away the bandage and medicine jar with satisfaction and left Chiba's ward. Top 23S.

Chiba's eyes were dull, as if all his strength had been drained, he was leaning on the bed, looking lifeless.

On the side, Kakashi, who had just returned, stood in front of his hospital bed, looking at Chiba with wide eyes, and in his mind was the scene of Keiko changing Chiba's dressing just now.

At this moment, a look of fear and horror appeared on his face, and his whole person seemed to be trembling.

After a while, he carefully climbed onto his hospital bed, looked at Qianye who had his back turned, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to comfort Qianye, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything.

Thinking of the situation just now, Kakashi couldn't think of any words of comfort. Finally, he silently raised his head and looked at the ceiling.

From now on...you must not mess with Guizi!

Kakashi set an iron rule for himself.

At the same moment, Chiba, who was lying on the hospital bed, blinked like a dead fish. He suddenly understood the mood of those girls after being insulted, and the words "can't get married"

, which contains a lot of despair and sadness.

At this time, Chiba's true feelings are...

I can't get married anymore.

I have an urge to cry!

After that, he silently took out the scroll of Namikaze Minato in his arms, and slowly unfolded it with a despairing face.

In short, before practicing, read it again and recall it, and try to make qualitative changes in a short time.

Thinking about it, Chiba looked at it carefully.

At this time, Kakashi seemed to have adjusted his mood, and his eyes looking at the ceiling became serious.

I'm not proficient enough in changing the nature of thunder attribute, otherwise I wouldn't go berserk and burn myself! Sure enough, the high-density thunder attribute chakra enhancement is still uncontrollable.

During these few days in the hospital, think about it carefully! Learn from your experience!

Therefore, the two of them started to improve themselves with their own thoughts.

At the same time, the Hokage's office.

With a slight smile on his face, the Third Hokage looked at Shikaku in front of him, whose clothes were cut open in several places by sharp blades.

"You're back, Shikaku!"

With a smile, the Third Hokage spoke.

"The Third Hokage..." Nara Shikaku said, with a rather solemn look on his face.

"What happened?" The Third Hokage keenly noticed something was wrong on Shikaku's face and asked.

"I heard that a team was attacked near the village and lost two seeds. Is this true?" Nara Shikaku thought for a moment and said.

"Yes." The Third Hokage did not shy away and admitted the matter. He did not need to hide this matter from Nara Shikaku, and he did not hide it from Nara Shikaku's two teammates, Yamanaka Haiichi and Akimichi Choza.

So Nara Shikaku didn't feel strange when he knew about this matter that he strictly prohibited from spreading.

As for concealing this matter, it was also for the sake of the stability of the village. If the villagers knew that someone was attacked near the village and two people died, then the situation would be different.

I'm afraid it will cause panic. Even if it doesn't cause panic, it will cause a small chaos. Then, when the time comes, it will be a question whether the minimum defense force in the village can prevent outsiders from infiltrating.

At the same time, the vigilance of the village has been raised to the highest level. People are not even allowed to approach the village gate, and entry and exit are strictly prohibited. Even some items for commercial activities are all transported by Konoha's ninjas.

And now Nara Shikaku has returned from the front line, and has transferred back nearly dozens of outstanding ninjas, five jounin, and three elite jounin. These troops were originally Konoha's defense team, plus one-third of the troops maintaining vigilance.

The ANBU, the probability of Konoha Village being penetrated has been reduced to the minimum.

Until now, the Third Hokage was slightly relieved.

After all, Konoha was out in force, and coupled with the chaos caused by the Battle of Mount Kikyo, the village's defense could be said to be the weakest since Konoha was founded.

In fact, even the ninjas from other villages did not notice that they had invaded such a close place, resulting in the death of two seeds that should have been protected.

After hearing the affirmative answer from the Third Hokage, Nara Shikaku sighed a little and said: "Are you still a step too late? Chiba's plan is perfect. This step is because our execution is not perfect enough."

In his words, Nara Shikaku felt somewhat self-blame.

"It's not your fault. We were on the front line, confronting the Kingdom of Earth, and the Kingdom of Thunder had an unclear attitude. Some things were too sensitive, and the whole body could be affected by a single move. It's not your fault that the defense forces were slow to mobilize.

It's very reluctant to begin with." The Third Hokage shook his head to express his understanding, and then asked: "How is the situation on the front line?"

Nara Shikaku frowned slightly, put away his self-blame, and said: "The situation is as planned. Iwagakure and Kumogakure have already suspected each other, and have also sent out many troops working secretly. I am afraid that they are the two of them near our village.

The infiltration and sabotage force of one of the countries.”

"Hmm..." Hearing this, the Third Hokage groaned.

They came so quickly, I'm afraid Chiba didn't expect it. Now...

"Shikaku, you should already know the basic situation." The Third Hokage asked.

Nara Shikaku nodded. The Third Hokage, Yamanaka Kaiichi and Akimichi Choza told him the specific situation in detail. He already knew the general situation.

"Then what do you think should be done?" the Third Hokage asked.

Nara Shikaku seemed to have thought of a countermeasure and said: "Now we must first determine whether they have penetrated into the village. At the same time, recall all the seeds. The supply of medicines on the front line is enough. There is no need to issue such experience-accumulating tasks. Since

The enemy has sneaked in, and the troops sent must not be weak, and the seeds may not be able to deal with it. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, the seeds must be gathered and placed in a safe place."

The Third Hokage nodded and said, "Keep talking."

"Then, try to avoid personnel changes, stabilize the village defense, avoid any intelligence leaks, and closely monitor everything in the village so that they have no way to infiltrate and destroy." Nara Shikaku continued: "Then, at the right time, lure them to show up,

Kill in one fell swoop!”

The Third Hokage frowned slightly and said, "You mean..."

"That's right, hang them up, and then wait for them to become anxious, seize their exposed weaknesses, and annihilate them in one fell swoop!" Nara Shikamaru said.

"How long will it take?" the Third Hokage asked.

"I don't know, it depends on the situation on the front line. If there is any change on the front line, the time may be advanced or delayed." Nara Shikaku shook his head, implying that he would wait and see what happens.

"So, how long do you think it will take at least?" the Third Hokage asked again.

Nara Shikaku thought for a moment and raised three fingers.

"Three months, at least three months!"

Nara Shikaku said.

"Three months..." The Third Hokage groaned and said: "I understand, from now on, regardless of whether they have performed tasks or not, all seeds will be recalled to the village, and within three months, no missions outside the village will be arranged.

Some security and defense missions are led by elite Jōnin and Jōnin."

Hearing this, Nara Shikaku was startled for a moment, and sighed in his heart: Ginger is still hot when it comes to old age. At this time, the third Hokage has not forgotten to exercise these seeds.

Thinking about it, Nara Shikaku bowed and said: "I understand, I will make arrangements right away."

"Yeah." The Third Hokage nodded, suppressing the feeling of coughing, and said: "Go."

You can’t fall down yet! You can’t fall down yet!

The Third Hokage gritted his teeth slightly and turned his attention to another battle report scroll. Nara Shikaku had already retreated.
