Chapter 234 Saturation Attack
"Third generation, we need to discuss the previous meeting again!"

Danzo, Mitomon En and Utane Koharu found the Sandai and said with serious faces.

After seeing the enemy's attack methods, the three of them have realized how powerful the enemy in the forest is. If a war breaks out, this long-range attack alone will be enough to cause heavy casualties to Konoha.

"Okay!" The third generation nodded after hearing this.

This time he did not intend to show off Konoha's power and then negotiate, but to negotiate directly. Although this would make the enemy ask for an exorbitant amount of money, there was nothing he could do about it.

After all, the Third Generation, who had seen the power of the enemy's long-range weapons, knew that he would not be able to display his might, and it would only result in casualties. It would be better to retain the manpower to deal with the possible Fourth Ninja World War in the future.

"what is that?"

However, just when the Third Generation decided to send people directly to negotiate, long columns of white smoke flew in the sky over the Death Forest.

There were thousands of these smoke columns.

"Be careful to hide!" Seeing this, the third generation immediately gave an order. He also used ninjutsu to quickly create earth walls around him for defense.

Amid the shouts, the ninjas used their various skills to defend and hide.

However, a few seconds later, the column of smoke in the sky did not fall down, but flew towards their rear.

The third generation saw clearly that the smoke columns were all emitted by things that looked like iron pipes.

"Oh no, the enemy's target is the village!"

Looking at the rocket flying overhead, the third generation's face suddenly changed.

This time, Danzo, Menyan and Xiaochun's expressions also changed.

It is inevitable that there will be casualties among the ninjas, but now that the enemy has launched an attack on the village and killed and injured a large number of civilians, the whole village will surely be outraged, and peace talks will no longer be possible.

However, if Konoha were to fight the enemy head-on, the cost would likely be something Konoha could not afford, and might even lead to its destruction.

"Hurry, go back to the village!"

After realizing the target of the undead's attack, the third generation no longer cared about anything else. After giving the order, he rushed to the village.
-
"Father, what do you see in the sky?"

On the streets in other outskirts of Konoha Village, a little girl suddenly pointed to the sky and asked her father.

"That's~" Hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned as he looked at the white column of smoke flying towards the center of Konoha. He looked at his daughter's expectant eyes and could not bear to see her disappointed. He said confidently, "That's a shooting star. Make a wish quickly!"

More and more people in Konoha noticed the rockets flying rapidly across the sky, and they all looked up at the sky.

But at this time, no one noticed the danger coming.

Until the rockets whizzed over their heads and fell into the central area of ​​Konoha Village one after another.

The next second, flames began to flash in the center of Konoha.

"What's going on here?"

People in the suburbs of Konoha watched the smoke columns and the flashing flames continuously falling into the central area, and then billowing smoke and dust rose up to a height of a thousand meters.

At this moment everyone was dumbfounded.

At the same time, everyone finally realized that the column of white smoke flying across the sky was not a meteor, nor was it a ninja testing any ninjutsu, but an enemy attack.

“My daughter is still working there!”

“My husband went over there to sell vegetables!”

The next second, many people in the edge area began to scream, some hurried to the central area of ​​Konoha, and some hurried home.

The ninjas in the marginal areas also began to rush towards the center of Konoha.

Before this, they had no idea that a large number of enemies had appeared in the Death Forest. But the war came so suddenly.
-
At this time in the center of Konoha, rockets were rapidly falling from the sky and terrifying explosions continued.

The shock wave from the rocket explosion broke through and collapsed the houses within a hundred meters around it.

Even if there were houses that managed to survive the first explosion, they were covered with cracks, and then collapsed in the explosions of the second and third rockets.

The unconsumed fuel in the rocket splashed onto the surrounding houses with the explosion, causing a raging fire.

Thousands of rockets landed one after another within three minutes.

After three minutes of rocket bombardment, the center of Konoha was completely turned into a burning ruin with thick smoke.

The ruins were littered with people killed or shaken to death by rocket explosions, and corpses could be seen everywhere.

"what happened?"

"Everyone get out of the way!"

"Hurry up and treat the wounded and send them to the shelter!"

When the explosion ended, the remaining ninjas and civilians looked at the burning ruins and corpses around them in a daze. Some were still confused, while others were calling on everyone to find a place to hide quickly to prevent the next wave of attacks. Some were treating the wounded.

But there were more shouting, crying and wailing.
-
Looking at the thick smoke rising several thousand meters high from the center of Konoha, the Third Generation and a group of ninjas who were rushing back suddenly felt heavy in their hearts.

Just by looking at the size and height of the smoke column, one could foresee what the center of Konoha would look like after it was destroyed.

"How could this be?"

Twenty minutes later, the Third Hokage returned from the Forest of Death with three thousand ninjas.

Looking at the thick smoke and the raging fire, the center of Konoha had become a complete ruin, and he was stunned.

"how come?"

"There's not much time, obviously?"

Behind the Third Hokage, the group of ninjas who had rushed back also had dazed looks in their eyes.

Then, all the ninjas, regardless of having no orders, rushed into the ruins where fire was still burning and smoke was rising.

Or to look for their family, or to treat the injured, or to put out the fire.

"Third generation, what should we do now?"

Looking at the ninjas who rushed to rescue people, Danzo asked the Third Generation with a heavy face.

In such a tragic situation, peace talks are impossible. The angry people and ninjas will not agree. They will only demand revenge. Now the war can no longer be stopped. Even if the top leaders forbid it, the people and ninjas who have lost their loved ones will seek revenge privately.

But the result of the war may very likely lead to the complete destruction of Konoha. The enemy's weapons can attack too far and are too powerful, which will definitely cause huge casualties to Konoha.

"Alas!" Hearing this, the Third Generation could only sigh and said immediately: "Prepare for a full-scale war. Find a way to stabilize the other four ninja villages, even if it means paying a heavy price. Also prepare for assassination operations. Recall all ninjas!"

"Okay! I will complete the assassination at all costs!"

Danzo heard this and said seriously that at this moment he decided to do everything he could to assassinate the enemy leader, because this was the only way for Konoha to win. If Konoha was gone, then his dream and persistence would be gone too.

"Leave the task of holding back the other ninja villages to the two of us! We have more experience!"

Mitokado En and Utane Koharu also said so.

Seeing the three advisors like this, the Sandai heaved a sigh of relief and ordered Shikaku: "Count the casualties, and immediately gather the ninjas to the vicinity of the Death Forest to prevent the enemy from breaking out."

"Hi~!" Lu Jiu took the order and left quickly.
