After figuring out the problem with the Den Den Mushi and why it couldn't connect, the Third Hokage no longer hesitated.
He immediately passed along the intelligence they had received last night.
All of it was relayed to Yagami.
Then he instructed Yagami to have the frontline army enter the Land of Wind as soon as possible.
They were to force Sunagakure to surrender directly and sign a treaty of defeat.
Realizing that the situation was truly urgent, Yagami did not ask any more questions.
The moment the Third Hokage and the village's high command issued the war order, he accepted it at once.
Then he hung up the Den Den Mushi and quickly returned to Konoha's position together with Kushina.
Because Kushina had just gone through the 'transformation' of her life, her movements were still a little inconvenient.
So Yagami took out the Bamboo-Copter, something he had not used for a long time, from the system and handed one to her.
Under Kushina's curious gaze, Yagami briefly explained what it was and taught her how to use it.
The operation of this thing was very simple.
So Kushina quickly learned how to control it.
Of course, Kushina could fly now.
There was no way Yagami was going to keep running on the ground alone.
Although a single Bamboo-Copter could not support the weight of two adults, that was not a problem for Yagami.
He directly used the Squid Girl bracelet to reduce his weight to the absolute minimum, only 0.5 grams.
Then, from behind Kushina, he wrapped an arm around her slender waist.
It looked just like the kind of pose the hero and heroine would make in Titanic.
Then the two of them rose directly into the sky and flew straight toward Konoha's position.
There were no obstacles in the air.
So naturally, their speed was much faster.
About half an hour later, Yagami and Kushina returned.
Under the gaze of countless Konoha shinobi, the two of them flew straight into Konoha's camp.
Cheers and voices of admiration for Yagami immediately rang out below them.
For a while, the news of Yagami and Kushina's return also spread to headquarters.
When it was heard that the two of them had actually come back by flying, a group of jōnin commanders came out of the command post in curiosity.
And it was at that moment—
Yagami and Kushina slowly descended and landed right in front of headquarters.
The jōnin commanders of Konoha were instantly dumbfounded.
Every one of them stared at the Bamboo-Copter on top of Kushina's head as it gradually slowed to a stop.
No one there could suppress their curiosity.
Everyone wanted to know what kind of bizarre high-tech tool this was.
But before anyone could speak, Yagami cut in first.
"I just received urgent information from the village leadership. We need to hold a pre-war meeting immediately."
Only after saying that did Yagami realize Orochimaru was not there.
Noticing Yagami's confusion, Yūhi Shinku immediately sent a guard to inform Orochimaru.
Now that there was emergency intelligence from the top, no one dared treat it lightly.
Everyone quickly stepped back into headquarters.
A short while later, Orochimaru also hurried over.
Once everyone had arrived, Yagami directly recounted the entire conversation he had just had with the Third Hokage and the others.
Since this was an emergency war order issued by the village's high command, the general outline of the pre-war meeting had already been arranged in advance.
Because of that, the senior officials did not continue participating in this meeting.
Besides, they had stayed up the entire night, so at this moment they were all finally getting some rest.
"I didn't expect Iwagakure and Kumogakure to attack Konoha at the same time."
"It looks like this war with Sunagakure really does need to end as quickly as the higher-ups said."
"Yeah. If we don't crush Sunagakure soon, Konoha will have to face three great villages at once."
"Iwagakure and Kumogakure invading at the same time... it's obvious they planned this together. Shameless."
"Iwagakure must have been waiting for this chance all along. They really picked their moment well."
Once Yagami finished delivering the intelligence from the high command, all kinds of voices and discussions immediately broke out throughout the meeting hall.
The emergency report from the village leadership shattered the sense of relief everyone had only just regained from the victory the day before yesterday.
At this moment, all of the jōnin commanders felt their mood grow much heavier.
"Originally, we were already preparing to enter the Land of Wind."
"So this just happens to line up with the war order from the village."
"In that case, there's nothing more to say. We gather the troops and attack."
The one who spoke was a rather troublesome man to deal with.
Nara Shikaku, who rarely opened his mouth, had abandoned his usual lazy attitude and become unusually serious.
Yagami could not help glancing at him a few more times.
Among everyone in the frontline command, Nara Shikaku's intelligence was without question the most deserving of its reputation.
It was just that Konoha had held the advantage from the very beginning of this war against Sunagakure.
Because of that, there had been no real need for Shikaku to step forward and offer strategies.
That was why he usually kept quiet and lazed around in the background.
Unexpectedly, now that Konoha had truly run into a crisis, he became serious and took the initiative to stand up on his own.
Yagami could not help muttering inwardly.
As expected... he really is exactly like his future son.
"Since the order from the village leadership has already been issued, then we begin carrying it out immediately."
"Everyone, return to your posts and do your duty."
"According to yesterday's arrangements, return to your respective teams and begin the full-scale invasion of the Land of Wind."
Not long after Nara Shikaku finished speaking, Orochimaru also stood up.
Then he issued the combat assignments and handed overall field command over to Yūhi Shinku.
Shinku had clearly become more and more skilled in the role of commander.
"The team assignments from yesterday's meeting?"
"Is there a copy for me?"
Since he had been absent yesterday, Yagami had no idea what the specific battle arrangements were, so he asked curiously.
"Hahaha..."
"Yagami-kun, you're our main force."
"You don't need to lead a team. Just go and kill to your heart's content."
Hearing Yagami's question, Orochimaru let out a hoarse laugh as he answered.
"I see."
Yagami nodded.
He had only asked out of curiosity.
In fact, it was better if there were no special arrangements for him.
That way, he could move more freely and harvest prestige points as wildly as he pleased.
