With the longing for the two and a half star ability, Uchiha Mai fell into a deep sleep.

In the next few days, everything went as usual in the ninja world. The war between Konoha and the three major ninja villages did not subside because of the New Year, and even intensified.

The high casualties on the front line forced Sarutobi Hiruzen to send more ninjas to resist the attack of the three major ninja villages, which led to further emptiness in Konoha's rear.

The entire village combined, excluding the ninjas who maintained the operation of the mission system, had less than three thousand combatable soldiers.

Ten months later, Mai Uchiha was sitting quietly in the house when she suddenly heard the sound of "ta, da..." footsteps outside the wall.

"Wu, something serious is going wrong."

Kakashi rushed into the room and said with stern eyes: "The Hokage has summoned you for something urgent. Come with me quickly."

"Urgent call?"

Uchiha Mai murmured, stood up unhurriedly, and chuckled: "Can those country bumpkins in Kirigakure Village finally take action?"

"How do you know it's Kirigakure?" Kakashi was slightly startled.

"At this time, apart from Kirigakure and the Fire Country, is there anything else that could make the Hokage summon me urgently?

It can't be that your father was killed by the Kazekage." Uchiha Mai asked back.

Konoha is a strategic defense, and the top experts will not rush forward easily. Hatake Sakumo, Jiraiya and others are unlikely to be hacked to death.

And looking at the several battles in the ninja world in the original plot, Senju Tobirama died in the civil strife in Kumogakure Village, the second generation Tsuchikage and Mizukage died in single combat, and the Raikage died in a beating...

There seemed to be very few people who actually died on the battlefield. They basically fell into the street because of various accidents.

"How could my father lose to the Sandaime Kazekage?"

Kakashi responded with an arrogant expression, and then said: "But you only guessed half of it right.

Kirigakure Village has not sent out troops yet, but our spies hidden in the Kingdom of Water have discovered the news that Kirigakure Village has recently stockpiled a large amount of war supplies.

According to Hokage-sama’s analysis, Kirigakure Village will soon take big action, and we can’t be so passive this time.”

The three fronts of Yun, Iwa, and Sand, Konoha didn't get the news until their troops entered the Land of Fire in the first place.

After three times, Hiruzen Sarutobi learned from the painful experience and ordered Mai Uchiha to vigorously rectify the ANBU intelligence agency. Now it seems to be quite effective.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Mai Uchiha's management skills are so great that she can defeat several predecessors.

After all, there is only one Kirigakure Village left, and any fool knows that Kirigakure Village will definitely do something, so it is necessary to send more people to Kirigakure Village.

The two of them walked quickly until they reached the Hokage's office and pushed open the door.

Uchiha Mai looked around and saw that except for Hiruzen Sarutobi, there was no one else in the office. This was different from the previous meetings where everyone had to work hard to hold meetings.

"Mai, you're finally here. Kakashi told you the situation on the way?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen threw down the documents in his hands and pulled Uchiha Mai to sit on the sofa.

"Um."

Uchiha Mai nodded slightly: "I already understand the general situation. It seems that Kirigakure Village finally couldn't bear the loneliness and planned to make a surprise attack on our Konoha."

At this moment, Konoha has less than three thousand combatable soldiers. Although there are still Uchiha Mai, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Tsunade sitting in the village, there is no doubt that they are in an unprecedented weak state.

Kirigakure must consider whether this is their only chance in this life.

"By the way, what about the others? Why don't I see you summoning others to the meeting?" Mai Uchiha asked.

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and explained: "That's not necessary.

You also know the real situation. You are the only top expert that Konoha can send to the front line at this moment.

No matter how many people are called to come over for a meeting, there can only be one result negotiated in the end."

This is true.

It is impossible for Sarutobi Hiruzen to go to the battlefield, Konoha is not at the end of its rope yet. The Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki cannot move, and Tsunade is a useless person.

"The ANBU did a good job this time. They detected the news that troops were about to be dispatched to Kirigakure Village in advance."

Sarutobi Hiruzen praised him and then said: "We shouldn't be so passive this time.

I hope we can take the initiative this time, keep the enemy at bay, and drive them out as soon as they enter the Land of Fire.
