Chapter 1
Hokage Tower
Lord Hiruzen sat in his office reviewing mission reports when a knock at the door broke the silence of the room.
"Come in." he said.
Two well known leaf shinobi entered the room with distressed expressions on their faces: Genma and Aoba.
"What is it? What is the current status with the Cloud and Mist?" Lord Hokage asked urgently.
"Lord Hokage, the situations with the Cloud and Mist are growing more and more hostile. Twenty of our jonin and 12 of our chunin were killed in a battle, just late last night near the borders of the Mist." Genma reports. "At this rate, war will break out, Cloud and Mist against the Leaf and I fear our chances of winning would be slim."
"After last night, our forces have taken a huge hit. We had 50 shinobi stationed there, out of those 50, 32 are dead, 12 seriously wounded and 6 in minor condition. If war does happen, we'll have to promote the academy students quicker, and civilians would have to start going on patrols around the village but it has to be a last resort measure." Aoba added.
"Logically many parents won't be too happy sending their kids on the battlefield with half the knowledge required. There's also a possibility that civilians would leave the village if they felt they aren't protected and forced to become shinobi. Plus there's also the problem of supplies as well." Aoba continued.
"Agreed. There's no point of having plenty of shinobi if we don't have weapons or armor. Medical ninjas are also a problem. We would need them both at the hospital for the civilians and on the battlefield as well." Genma replied.
"Hmm, I understand. In the Cloud village, almost everyone there has some skill of ninjutsu. The village is famous and feared worldwide for it. And the Mist… they're demons on a whole other level…" Lord Hokage stated.
"But Hokage-sama, surely there must be a way to solve this without going to war." Genma said.
"War could completely destroy the village Hidden in the Leaves." Aoba said with despair in this voice.
Lord Hiruzen exhaled smoke from his pipe before standing from his desk and walking to the window.
"Yes, I'm very well aware of the devastation our village will experience if war does break out. But things are too volatile right now to work out a negotiation. Nonetheless, we must continue to seek out a solution. Call all shinobi back into the village, they'll serve as back-up forces at our borders in case the Cloud or Mist try anything, however don't engage in battle if not provoked."
"May I ask why, Hokage-sama?" Genma asked.
"I'm hoping that by retreating, the Cloud and Mist will settle down and call off their forces. Once that happens, we'll send messengers to each country and negotiate." Lord Hokage responded.
"Yes, very wise, Hokage-sama. we'll get started right away." Aoba said. He and Genma bowed and left.
Hiruzen nodded and continued to stare out the window, looking out at the great Leaf village. I fear it might be a little too late.
