"No need to discuss, Yagura's target is not Konoha, but Whirlpool Country."

Kato Makoto turned around and looked at Ino, Shikacho and the other two. Not long after he returned to the village, he received the exact news from Hirame Aoi from Kirigakure.

"Is the news accurate?"

Hearing what Kato Makoto said, the other four were shocked, and Minato asked with a serious expression.

The Land of Whirlpools is now an ally of Konoha. According to the agreement, Konoha is obligated to protect the safety of the Land of Whirlpools when attacked.

Moreover, this country had a history of being nearly destroyed, and during that time, its relationship with Konoha was closer than it is now.

Also under the protection of Konoha, if the Whirlpool Country faces a second crisis of national destruction, it would be like hanging oneself on the same tree twice.

Those countries that are watching and want to join the military alliance will probably give up the idea after seeing the tragic situation in the Whirlpool Country.

This is undoubtedly a major blow to Konoha's military alliance strategy.

"I just received news from my informant as well."

Kato Makoto handed the intelligence scroll he received to Minato, and after they finished reading it, he smiled and said,

"Invading the Land of Whirlpools is no different than invading Konoha. Yagura is just trying to force us into a war. I'm actually worried that Ōnoki and the Fourth-Kai Ai will come out and cause trouble."

During this period, under his instructions, on the front line of the Rain Kingdom and the Grass Kingdom, Konoha continued to put pressure on the Earth Kingdom, gradually hitting their business and reducing the Earth Kingdom's military potential.

If it weren't for the Yagura incident, this strategy of boiling a frog in warm water could have trapped the Land of Earth in the northwest desert Gobi.

As for the Land of Lightning in the north, once the Sarutobi clan and the Uchiha clan guard the border of the Land of Hot Spring, they will be able to lock the Hidden Cloud Village within the peninsula and let them live a peaceful life like the Hidden Mist Village.

It would be great if everyone had a bright future.

"You mean to let Haiyi and I return to the base?"

Shikaku realized what Makoto meant as soon as he thought about it, and looked at Kato Makoto with even more respect.

In the other party's mind, keeping the existing fruits and preventing Iwagakure and Kumogakure from taking advantage of the opportunity is more important than having more helpers and not being in danger.

"Let Choza go with Haiyi to the north. The Fourth Ai is young and energetic and likes to be straightforward. Choza can protect Haiyi's safety. Oono Bokuto is old and wise, and Shikaku and Mimura Yemaki are a thoughtful team. At least they can wait for reinforcements."

The war with Kirigakure is inevitable, and with part of the military force being tied up, one elite jonin may not be able to defend the border between the two countries.

"Yunyin has been very well behaved recently. I can be alone without any problem. Let Ding Zuo follow you."

"Isn't this just playing house? Are military and national affairs a matter of betting on whether the other party has any intentions?"

Makoto Kato directly rejected Yamanaka Inoichi's suggestion.

"Then I'll let Fugaku go with you to deal with Kirigakure."

Minato also felt that sending one person was not safe, so he set his sights on Uchiha.

"Don't forget about that Uchiha and the Rinnegan. Let Fugaku stay with you. His Sharingan should be able to help."

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was too important, and Kato Makoto didn't want to fight to the death outside, but ended up having his house robbed.

"Are you going to fight all the masters of Kirigakure by yourself?"

"There are Hiashi and Hiashi, that's enough."

The two stared at each other, Minato saw the determination in Makoto's eyes and sighed.

"Makoto, as Hokage, I'm very sorry for having to trouble you to charge into battle every time."

Kato Makoto's eyes didn't waver at all, his face was full of determination.

"Minato, I'm not doing this to protect you and Kusuna, I'm doing this to protect this village."

When they saw this scene, Ino, Shikaku and Chou had an instant in their minds when they saw the image of the Third Hokage and Shinobi Yami discussing important matters.

We cannot say they are exactly the same, we can only say they are no different.

Kato Makoto came out of the Hokage Building and returned home in an instant.

The assembled ninja army was still waiting and would set out by the afternoon at the latest, leaving him little time to prepare.

He opened the door and found Tsunade there, fiddling with Kabuto, pinching his face and rubbing his head.

"Nono, isn't this really your and Makoto's child?"

Tsunade couldn't help but doubt it, because Kabuto really looked like the product of two people's labor.

In terms of personality, he is similar to Nono, with white hair and a pair of dark eyes, and is very similar to Kato Makoto without the Shabu-shaku eye transplanted.

"No, but Kabuto is our child now."

Worried that Kabuto might be feeling down, Nono held him in his arms and patted his back gently.

"Nono, send Kabuto to training and only allow him to come back on weekends from now on."

Kato Makoto couldn't count how many times he had seen Nono pampering Kabuto.

If this trend continues, even a dragon will be raised into a worm.

Coming back once a week can give him a spiritual haven and allow him to have some time to talk about the stress in his heart. It doesn't delay his training, nor will it overwhelm him. It's just right.

"……it is good."

Nono was delighted to see him come back, but when she heard his arrangements for Kabuto, her face was filled with worry again.

She knew that she couldn't delay her child's growth, so after a moment of silence, she nodded in agreement.

"Are you leaving?"

Tsunade walked to the door and helped Kato Makoto take off his cloak and hang it on the hook.

She went back to the Senju clan's territory, changed her clothes, and went out, rushing to Kato's house to wait for him to come back.

Senju Momoka was a little confused about Tsunade's hurried movements, and asked Shizune who was following Tsunade. Before the black-haired girl could answer, Tsunade grabbed her collar and walked out of the clan gate.

"The ninja army has been assembled and will leave today."

Makoto Kato took out the armor from the special wardrobe and put it on one by one. The blonde princess stood behind him, helping him smooth out the wrinkles on his back and fasten the buttons.

After doing this, Tsunade wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned against his back.

Seeing this scene, Nono quickly covered Kabuto's eyes and turned the confused Kabuto in another direction.

Shizune was no longer surprised. After getting over the initial shock, she actually thought it was a good thing.

Now that her teacher and her uncle are together, she can stay in Konoha with peace of mind, without having to worry about having no money and having to sleep outdoors all day.

"I have a feeling Konoha won't be peaceful this time. You and Nono must protect yourselves. If a disaster occurs, let Shizune and the children take shelter in the shelter."

Gently stroking the soft tissue on her waist, Kato Makoto whispered instructions.

"I see."

After a moment of tenderness, Tsunade quickly let go of his hand and stood up straight again.

click!

Tsunade took the Broken Wind off the sword rack and tied it around his waist. Kato Makoto stretched out his hand and the cloak that he had put on not long ago was put back on his body.

"Return victorious, Dana."

Nono put down the bag in his hand, walked to the door, and sent Kato Makoto off with Tsunade and Shizune.

"Uncle, have a nice trip."

Shizune gradually became familiar with Kato Makoto's temper. She knew that he was serious in official business but easy-going in private, so her blessings for the expedition were also casual.

"Just for this uncle, when you grow up, I will find you a good husband."

The little girl was very sensible, which saved Kato Makoto a lot of worry, so he naturally took good care of her.

"Dad, come on."

The taciturn Kabuto timidly poked half of his head out from behind Nono, and the one name made Kato Makoto smile happily.

"Okay, okay, son, just wait. Dad will come back and teach you personally, and you will inherit my legacy in the future."

With this address, the energy of both parties was connected.

In the future, as long as you work hard and patiently, you may be able to achieve enlightenment and become a dragon.

After saying goodbye to a few people, Kato Makoto turned around. Terai and the Gen troops were already waiting at the gate of the mansion. Shisui and Yugao were wearing animal masks and half-kneeling in the middle of the team.

Kato Makoto stepped out of the door, glanced at his disciples and subordinates, and waved his hand.

"set off!"

In an instant, countless afterimages broke through the air.
