Chapter 11 - A great war is coming. (2/2)

A few minutes later, he left home but this time dressed in ninja outfit with a green vest and konoha front protection hanging from his forehead.

He would have liked to continue his training longer but the day before today, he and all the other Jonin and Chunin ninja of rank had received a scroll with new information that caused everyone to worry.

Apparently after the interrogation of some Iwa ninja who had destroyed several Outpost in the border and information obtained by a konoha ninja (Nori), Konoha confirmed the news of the participation of the other three ninja villages in the war.

This war had just gone from a war of interest between Konoha and Iwa to a war between the five great nations.

Thus began the real third great ninja war.

All ninja above Genin's rank present in the village were invited to attend the conference given by the third Hokage.

Nori quickly arrived in front of the building where the conference was taking place and after entering it saw a large number of ninjas all dressed in combat clothing standing upright while staring at the platform on which was standing the third Hokage, who reciting a speech.

Nori quietly entered the crowd of ninja as he listened to the end of the speech.

”So for the prosperity of the land of fire and our village we, ninja of konoha are ready to sacrifice our lives....”

”I the third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi officially declares war among all the four great ninja villages.”

”As the elite of the village of konoha, you will be assigned the task of commanding and training the newly Genins.”

Hearing the words pronounced by the Hokage, the various people present could not help but sigh slightly.

Even Nori was greatly surprised, the meaning of the words of the Hokage was clear in addition to the Genins already in service, Konoha's administration was going to send the aspiring Genins to the battlefield, it was the use of children as soldiers.

Although with the clashes against Iwa Genins were used as soldiers, but the sent Genins were normally at the end of their studies, but with this decision even the Genins just learning to use the chakra will be sent to the battlefield, i.e. children between 6 and 12 years old.

This made all the ninja present extremely calm, some even had reluctant expressions.

”You will be sent to the battlefield in two days, please prepare yourself by then.”Says the Hokage aloud with a serious facial expression before leaving the room.

Then the ninjas quietly went in silence, Nori also left the room and walked the streets unbmoment and finally returning home immersed in his thoughts.
