Konoha: Prepare to defect, the system is coming.

With the end of the Five Kage Summit, the shocking news that the five major ninja villages are about to join forces to form a ninja coalition quickly swept through every corner of the ninja world like a storm.

Because the content of the talks was kept confidential, most people in the ninja world now do not know what the coalition of the ninja villages of the five major countries is going to do, but they know that something earth-shaking must have happened.

Some small ninja villages came to their senses in an instant after the initial shock.

They can't even gather ten ninja villages, so it's definitely not worth the five major ninja villages to make such a big fuss. They can go bankrupt on the spot with just one order.

"Hey, hey, do you think the five great nations are going to unify the ninja world and completely wipe out the existence of the small ninja village from the map?"

"It's unlikely. If you just want to swallow up those small ninja villages, there's no need to make such a big scene."

"That's right. And the reason why those small ninja villages exist is that the five major countries tacitly regard them as buffer zones. If the small ninja villages are swallowed up, the five major countries will be directly bordering each other, and conflicts will easily break out."

"So what do you think the five great nations are going to do by uniting together?"

"War. Apart from war, I can't think of anything else that can unite the five major ninja villages."

On the streets, people can be seen discussing this issue everywhere.

Everyone is now anxious from the bottom of their hearts about the unprecedented joint action of the five major countries, but no news has been leaked except those who participated in the talks.

The businessmen who were originally doing business had no intention of running the business at this time.

Some of them joined the discussion, while others stood at the door of the shops, looking worriedly at the end of the street, fearing that some emergency would occur in the next second.

Passersby, after taking a quick look at the shops, had no intention of going in to shop. Instead, they held their wallets tightly and headed straight to the major stores to start stocking up on daily necessities.

The commercial activities of the entire village declined at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Uchiha Mikoto walked on the street, she looked at the deserted shops on both sides, and then looked at the frightened villagers on the street, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "Before the Third World War, the village seemed to be like this, with an uneasy atmosphere everywhere.

Is the war going to start again?"

Recalling the news of the alliance of the five major ninja villages revealed by the village leaders two days ago, Mikoto's eyes became more and more worried.

She could probably guess that the alliance was related to the tailed beasts.

It was originally thought that the tailed beast was lost because there were loopholes in the protection of the Jinchūriki between the villages, and after the incident, the villages did not trust each other, so the enemy took advantage of the opportunity.

But now it seems that she thought things were too simple.

"I didn't expect the situation to be so serious that it requires the union of five villages!" Mikoto's eyes showed deep worry. In a trance, she found herself suddenly in a tavern that she hadn't been to for many years.

"Women's Tavern!!"

This is a bar opened exclusively for women.

The environment inside is quieter than that of an ordinary pub.

The main target groups are mostly housewives or divorced or widowed wives.

After making breakfast and sending their husbands off to work, some housewives will start preparing lunch, but before that, women who have been busy with the family all day often like to come here to drink a few glasses of sake and complain to others about things at home.

It is for this reason that this pub is only open in the morning and afternoon.

“I haven’t been here for many years!”

She looked at the faded sign, and Uchiha Mikoto suddenly revealed a bitter smile.

I came here several times when I was young.

At that time, when she saw those divorced women drinking alone, she felt a little puzzled. She didn't understand how two happy people could live like this and end up getting divorced.

but now

She became one of them, and became the person she laughed at when she was young.

Squeak!

Along with the teeth-grinding sound of the old wooden door, a faint aroma of wine mixed with perfume wafted towards me.

Many women have come to the huge store. They put their shopping baskets at their feet, with a look of sadness and dissatisfaction on their faces. They sip sake and complain about their troubles to others.

"Mikoto!!"

"Mikoto, over here!!"

At this time, the two women stood up and waved enthusiastically towards the door.

"Yoshino, Eri!" Mikoto responded softly to the two of them, then turned and walked to the table, put the basket on the ground, and sat down opposite the two of them.

One of these two people is the wife of the head of the Nara clan, Nara Yoshino; the other is the wife of the head of the Gekko clan, Gekko Eri.

They were all Mikoto's classmates at the Ninja School, and were also one of the few friends she had after becoming a housewife.

"Why does everyone seem to be in a bad mood today?" Mikoto asked the waiter for a glass of sake. She glanced around at the housewives who came over to drink, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Nara Yoshino picked up the transparent wine glass, stared closely at the clear wine inside, and replied.

"The smell of war is getting stronger, and everyone is worried about the safety of their families."

Gekko Eri nodded slightly and said with the same worry, "Looking at the huge scale of the five villages joining forces, the intensity of this war will definitely far exceed any previous wars in the ninja world.

In the past, every time a ninja war broke out, the ninja school would shorten the teaching time, students would graduate early, and all but the basic defense force would participate in the war. "

"No one would not worry when thinking about their children and loved ones who are about to participate in such a brutal war." Nara Yoshino said again, and then drank all the sake in the glass.

She also has a child, but the child is only 2 years old and not yet old enough to attend ninja school.

However, based on the experience of previous Ninja World Wars, each Ninja World War would take at least seven years from beginning to end.

If she is lucky, her child will survive the tail end of the war; if she is unlucky, her child will survive the most brutal period of the war.

"Mikoto, try to delay it for a while and don't let Itachi graduate so early!"

After a moment of silence, Nara Yoshino refilled the empty glass and continued, “Itachi is also a genius, but the kids nowadays all idolize Kakashi.

He will most likely follow Kakashi's example and graduate early, entering the battlefield many years earlier."

Hearing this, Mikoto nodded slightly and fell into silence.

Itachi would most likely do as she said, and apply for early graduation soon after entering the ninja school to participate in the upcoming war, and the village would not hinder him too much.

After a while.

She shook her head to get rid of the complicated images in her mind, then looked at the two women sitting opposite her and asked in a low voice, "Who is the enemy of the five major ninja villages' alliance this time?"

This was also the reason why Mikoto came to the tavern. She simply wanted to hear if there was any news about the Five Kage Summit and the Five Village Union.

"Except for the Shodaime Hokage and Uchiha Asuka who participated in the meeting, the specific information of this Five Kage Summit may only be known by Tsunade-sama and other high-ranking officials in the village."

Gekko Eri shrugged and said helplessly, "Now the Shodaime Hokage has only passed back the news that the five major ninja villages are about to form the "Ninja United Army" and asked the villages to prepare war materials as soon as possible.

Apart from this, the top leaders did not reveal more information to the villagers, probably because they were afraid of causing panic.”

At this time, Nara Yoshino suddenly came over, covered half of his face with a wine glass, and said mysteriously, "Two days ago, my man (Nara Shikaku) stayed up all night to collect and organize information about the Rain Country.

And he also used a lot of communication methods to contact Master Jiraiya and consult him about the affairs of the Rain Country."

"The Land of Rain?" Mikoto was slightly startled when she heard the name of this country. A person's name instantly popped up in her mind. "Demigod? Hanzo?"

Yoshino seemed to know what Mikoto was thinking, and shook her head subconsciously, whispering.

"Hanzo is indeed strong, but he doesn't deserve to be treated like this by the five major ninja villages!!"

"Forget it, forget it!" Yueguang Huili shook her wine glass and said casually, "The village will definitely announce this matter in the next few days. There is no point in us worrying about it now."

Nara Yoshino also nodded in agreement, then picked up his wine glass and began to complain about Nara Shikaku with the two of them.

"I have no motivation at all. I just want to lie down every day. I complain to me every time I work overtime."

dong dong dong! !

Yoshino complained and smashed the table with his wine glass, as if venting his dissatisfaction.

Although the other person's expression was extremely angry, Mikoto could feel a kind of happiness from her words.

In the past, she might have been able to empathize with it, but now she finds that she seems somewhat out of tune with the atmosphere here.

"What should I say?"

"If I complain with them, will they think I am destroying their marriages when they think back on it? But if I don't complain with them, will they think I am jealous?"

Mikoto was a little overwhelmed by the complicated thoughts in her mind.

She raised her head slightly and glanced at the scene in the tavern, and found that all the housewives were like this. Although they complained about the problems at home, the baskets at their feet were full of fresh green vegetables.

It looks like another sumptuous lunch.

"Mikoto!"

Noticing that Mikoto was a little depressed, Nara Yoshino paused and whispered, "What are you upset about? Are you still upset about your divorce from Fugaku?"

Hearing this, Gekko Eri also looked over.

When she found that the other party was indeed in a bad mood, she immediately waved her hand, filled Miqin's empty glass, and said indifferently, "Oh, divorce is not against the law. If life is not good, then we can break up. What's the big deal?"

Uh-huh! !

Nara Yoshino nodded like a chick pecking at rice, then nodded towards her family and agreed, "Mikoto, don't be sad. I'll introduce you to a better one tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I want to be alone for a while. Recently I found that being alone is actually quite good." Uchiha Mikoto waved at the two of them quickly, saying a little flustered.

At this time, Yueguang Huili picked up the wine glass and gently touched the table, making a crisp "dong" sound.

She stared at Mikoto's rosy cheeks for a while, then pointed towards the street and teased.

"Why not? The world is about to end."

"Yes, it's the end of the world!!" Nara Yoshino slammed his right fist on his left palm, a look of realization on his face.

Then, she narrowed her eyes slightly, looked back in the direction of her family's land, her expression suddenly became a little obscene, and she lowered her voice and said, "I plan to go crazy before the end of the world comes, and give Lu Jiu some drugs."

"Jino, give me some of the medicine. The Moonlight family's body is too fragile."

Yueguang Huili covered her mouth and said with a wicked smile, "I will go back and give some to that sickly guy. After all, the end of the world is coming soon. In the past, I only dared to imagine such things in my mind, but never dared to do it."

Seeing the two people's wretched looks, as if they couldn't wait to go crazy right now, Misaka's mouth twitched slightly, and she immediately turned her head away, looking at the street outside through the window.

The streets today are much more desolate than they were a few days ago. The villagers are hurrying on their way, and their faces no longer have the indifference they used to have.

But compared to the deserted shops, the noise in the restaurant is obviously much better than usual.

Some villagers who usually don't want to spend money, after feeling the shadow of war, took out their savings, brought their family and friends, and ordered a table of delicious food that they had never eaten before.

"The five major ninja villages joining forces to defeat an unknown enemy does sound a bit like the end of the world." Mikoto supported her chin with one hand, staring blankly at the scenery outside the window, and murmured in her heart.

"It was mentioned in the vernacular novel that when people face the impending end of the world, they will try things that they once only dared to imagine in their minds."

"The world is ending, but what crazy ideas do I have?"
