Here's the next chapter. Sorry for the long wait. I have this project to finish that demanded all of my time. I have to work a few hours before I go to bed (which is only an hour or two). Thanks for those who gave me some ideas for future chapters. You will know who you are when you read them.

Enjoy and don't forget to leave a comment or a review. Any views are welcome and appreciated…yes, flames too.

Chapter 14: The Blue Folder

Hari was in his personal study in the Mahora compound when the mirror on his table gave out a ringing sound. It was his personal line to the Hokage, gifting the old leader a direct communication with him to be used only in an emergency, not that they hadn't used it to exchange ideas now and then. For it to ring now meant something was up or the aged leader was just bored from doing all the nasty paperwork in his office. He accepted the call with a single tap of his finger causing Hokage's face to appear.

"What's up, Hokage-sama?" Hari asked with a smile. "Is this a social call or something serious is in the works?"

"A toad messenger just arrive this morning bringing a letter from Jiraiya. There is an invasion planned for Konoha during the Chuunin Exams." The aged leader informed him without sugar coating it.

"What?" Hari exclaimed in surprise. "Who in their right mind would be stupid enough to invade during an international event?"

"Suna and Oto." The Hokage answered with a grim look on his face. This answer surprised Hari.

"Oto I understand. But Suna? Don't we have an alliance with them?" Hari asked, confused. Thanks to his studies a few years back, he knew all about Konoha's alliances and treaties with other shinobi villages with Suna being one of them.

"We do but it seems that they are planning to renege on the alliance. It is mostly a formality anyway than a declaration of mutual interest." Sarutobi informed him. "And before you ask, Jiraiya has never been wrong before so it is not a good idea to treat this information as a hoax."

Hari nodded since the alliance in Suna merely said that they won't attack if Konoha didn't. It was set in place after the Third Great Shinobi War when Suna lost badly for siding with the enemy. Also, Jiraiya might be a convoluted pervert, but he was, foremost, a spymaster who prided himself of the accuracy of the information he gathered from all over the Elemental Nations.

"Fine. If Suna wants to try us out then I don't have a problem with that. Any news why Oto wanted to invade us all of a sudden? Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't Oto a minor shinobi village, not even warranting a mention from the Great Five?" asked Hari. The Great Five where the most powerful shinobi villages in the Elemental Nation, namely Konohagakure no Sato, Iwagakure no Sato, Kumogakure no Sato, Sunagakure no Sato, and Kirigakure no Sato. The other villages were minor, not being able to compare to the number of shinobis employed by the Great Five.

"Oto isn't recognize as a shinobi village by the Great Five but if they plan to launch an invasion against one then it means that they are well prepared." The Hokage informed him. "Such is the case, I don't want to leave everything to chance. I want to activate the orders on the Blue Folder."

Now this surprised Hari though the devious grin on his face was a welcome one.

"The Blue Folder you say? How far are you planning to take it?" asked Hari with a smirk. The Blue Folder contained directives just in case Konoha was in a pinch – highlighting plans for both offense and defense to protect the village from outside forces. Inside where different levels for the defense of the village. The higher the level, the more…destructive the countermeasures were. In total there were five levels- level one would make Voldemort cringe while level 5 involves a total slaughter…for the invading force of course.

"Level 3." The Hokage simply, mimicking Hari's smirk.

"Level 3 huh? Good thing I have everything prepared for it. If you said Level 4 or 5 then I need a week to get everything straightened out." said Hari as his smirk turned evil. "When are you planning to inform the shinobi council? Considering that this is a wartime meeting, the civilians won't be in on it. I won't put it past them to become a spy for the invading force."

"I know. That is why I want to ask if you would be so kind as to open up your conference room for this meeting. You're protections are top notch and not a single spy could ever hope to infiltrate it. If Danzo's people can't get in, no one else can."

This made Hari snicker. Thanks to his wards, he repelled five major attempts at spying a year, three for this year alone though most of it were from other shinobi villages, Genins who were curious about the new clan of Konohagakure no Sato. The spies were either repelled to forget their actions or immediately teleported to a prision sell deep inside the ANBU T and I division. In fact, Ibiki, the lead torturer of the division, sent him a gift basket for the playmates he sent his way.

"Sure, old man." Hari agreed. "When's the meeting?"

"Tomorrow. I'll covertly inform the shinobi council of the meeting later today. Would it be safe to say that the portkey ring you created for me will allow me to bring anyone to your home?" asked Sarutobi. Hari created a portkey ring for the him sometime after he became a Tokubetsu Jounin, a multi-use portkey to bring the Hokage to specified locations around Konoha, namely the Konoha Hospital, Hokage Monument, the Hokage's Office, ANBU Building, the the Mahora Clan compound which requires a password to penetrate the wards. The others just needed certain keywords to activate.

"Yup. Just tell me in advance on who's coming so I can key then into the wards to be on the safe side. Your ring will bring you here no problem but any passenger you have might encounter some of my more…destructive countermeasures." Hari added the last part cryptically.

"Do I even want to know?" Sarutobi asked curiously. He was already informed of the protection that surrounds the Mahora clan compound but he didn't know some of the nastier effects it would have on those stupid enough to trigger the more serious defenses.

"Not if you want to sleep at night." Hari said simply with a devious smirk on his face.

"Fine. Keep that information to yourself. I'll send a message through Fawkes." The Hokage informed him. "Speaking of which, where is the old bird anyway? He usually hangs out in my office to keep me company but I haven't him for a month now."

"I wouldn't say that with him around if you don't want to be pecked to death, old man. Despite being a phoenix and an immortal, that bird can be quite vain." Hari said with a smile on his face as he thought of his second familiar. "To answer your question, Fawkes is currently out of Konoha right now. Last I heard, he went back to my world to check on Britain. I've been out of touch for the past 3 years and the letters stopped coming. I was worried."

"You mean you're still receiving letters from your old home?" Sarutobi asked, surprised since Hari didn't like his old dimension. Hari saw the expression on the Hokage's face so he decided to explain.

"I didn't like it there, old man, but I do have friends there and I want to know how they are doing." Hari informed him. "If not, I just want to make sure that they're alright, that's all."

"Ah." The Hokage said with a nod. Despite how sadistic Hari became, a far cry to what he was when he first set foot in the Elemental Nations, he was still a kind-hearted person that loved to help if he could. "Anyway, all Jounin senseis will have a meeting next week concerning the Chuunin Exams. If you want your team to join then you need to attend and recommend your team in front of everyone."

Hari nodded eagerly. He really wanted his team to join the exams and he knew that they would easily pass thanks to the trianing he put them through.

"I'll be there. My team is ready to kick some serious butt in the exams." Hari said proudly.

"I know. It's mostly formality anyway so please do be there." The Hokage urged since Hari has always loathed Jounin meetings.

"Hai, Hokage-sama." Hari said with a sarcastic bow.

"Cheeky brat." Sarutobi grumbled.

"I know and you love me for it." Hari said smugly much to the Hokage's annoyance.

The meeting of the shinobi council went as planned. The conference room where it was held was located in one of the large houses in the Mahora compound converted by Hari's ever-helpful elves into a large ballroom with a long table that could easily sit fifty with plenty of space to move around. If more space was needed, an expansion charm could be easily activated in a moment's notice.

It was three hours before the meeting that Hari received a list of people who would be attending the meeting though the Mahora clan head had to frown when he saw Danzo's name. Ever since he met the one-eyed cripple, Hari had goosebumps about the man, making him thread carefully to avoid being manipulated.

He didn't know why but he saw Danzo as a more…destructive version of the late Albus Dumbledore, may he enjoy his Next Great Adventure. He couldn't fault the Headmaster's manipulations, considering the threat level of Voldemort, but it was annoying to be led around the nose.

Despite his dislike of the man, Hari temporarily keyed him into the wards until the duration of the meeting along with instruction to one of his elves to keep an eye out on the man just in case. Hari also warded the conference room to make sure that no one gets in or out since shinobi were generally curious by nature.

Before starting the meeting, Hari played host and provided and assortment of sweets and drinks that everyone partook. Akimichi Chouza even commented that the cakes were superb much to Hari's amusement. He would be relaying that to the elves later though he knew for a fact that the little helpers already knew about the compliment even before he could tell them. They loved to gossip above everything else.

"Now that we're all fed and watered, it is time to start the meeting." The Hokage begun, causing everyone's attention to be directed at him. "First of all, I would like to thank Hari for providing us with a venue. I think most of you are thinking as to why we didn't have this meeting in the council chamber?"

Everyone nodded though it was Nara Shikaku who voiced it out. For once, the man wasn't bored or lazy. He didn't know it but Hari had one of his elves give the man a mild dose of Pepper-Up Potion to keep him awake without him knowing about it.

"I'll speak for everyone in attendance that you're correct, Hokage-sama" Said Shikaku dryly. He was annoyed because no matter how much he wanted to sleep this meeting off, his energy levels were to the roof, leaving him quite energized and unable to be…lazy. He had this sneaky suspicion that Hari had something to do with it if the smug grin was anything to go by. "Why did you change the location anyway?"

The Hokage's face grew somber which everyone picked up immediately. Now they knew that something serious was up.

"The reason why I called you here is to discuss a topic of importance that affects Konoha directly. Since I don't want anyone to overhear today's topic, I requested for Hari to open up a part of his compound for our use. It is safe to say that no other place in Konoha is more secure than the Mahora compound."

The shinobis in the room turned to Hari with inquiring looks on their faces though Danzo had an annoyed frown on his face causing Hari to smirk.

"I value my privacy so I utilized my bloodline to place a…protection of sorts around the boundaries of my compound. Anyone with ill-intent towards the household or plan to enter uninvited are…kicked out, so to speak. I will not explain any more than that." explained Hari to which everyone nodded in acceptance. He didn't want to tell his fellow clan heads and shinobi the nature of his wards. The Hokage knew, of course, but no one else. It was better that way.

"Thank you for that explanation, Hari." said the Hokage to the Mahora clan head who nodded. "Now, the reason why I called this meeting is to discuss the upcoming invasion that threatens Konoha."

The uproar was deafening. There were a few things that could get a shinobi riled up and an invasion was on top of that list. Questions after questions were being asked and Hari had to resort to a wide area silencing spell just to shut everyone up.

"If all of you would just settle down, Hokage-sama will tell us everything he knew. If you promise me that you all will keep quiet until he's done, I'll remove the binding I placed on your voice box. Agreed?" Hari said in annoyance. What else could they do? They just nodded in agreement. Hari removed the spell which made everyone sigh in relief. Take away a shinobi's voice then they're prized techniques were crippled since most of them were voice activated. Not a very pleasant experience.

"Thank you, Hari." Sarutobi said with a smile.

"No problem, Hokage-sama." Hari returned.

Sarutobi nodded and addressed everyone in the room.

"Jiraiya sent word to me two days ago on some rumors that he heard from one of his spies. After learning of this rumor, he immediately scoured every nook and cranny of his spy network to discover that this rumor was, in fact, the truth. Konoha will be invaded during the Chuunin Exams. There is no exact time as to when that would be but all we needed to know that we have a time frame to work with."

"Do we have any idea as to who is planning to invade us?" asked Danzo, eyes very alert. Hari couldn't fault that. Danzo may be a manipulative bastard, but he was, and still is, a shinobi of Konoha who loved the village with everything he had though his actions were…questionable to say the least.

"Suna and Oto." Sarutobi replied.

"Suna?" Tsume asked in surprise. "We have an alliance in place after the last Great Shinobi War. They wouldn't dare invade us with the limited manpower they have in their disposal."

"I think that is the reason why they allied themselves with Oto…to compensate for the lack of a fighting force for the invasion." said Hiashi thoughtfully. "Do we have any ideas on who the leader of Oto is, Hokage-sama?"

Sarutobi shook his head in negative.

"According to Jiraiya, Otogakure is secretive. The location of their base and the identity of their leader are unknown. We don't know what forces they could muster nor do we know the techniques they employ though that could be easily remedied if we keep an eye out on the team they sent for the upcoming exam. This is the reason why I called this meeting to order. We are dealing with an unknown invasion force so we need to be prepared. Suna we can handle with ease but combined with the forces of Oto, everything is up to chance."

Murmurs echoed around the room as each digested the information they heard from the Hokage.

"Hokage-sama, would it be safe to say that you have a plan in place to counter this?" asked Shikaku, causing everyone to look at him in surprise. "What? Don't you think it's weird for the Hokage to set a meeting somewhere where no one can eavesdrop on us, not to mention that supicious blue folder in front of him? If you ask me, the old coot is up to something."

Hari had to laugh at how the lazy clan head described the aged leader. He was definitely spot on with that description of Hiruzen Sarutobi. Despite regressing the old man's age, he was still older than everyone else in the room, well, except for Danzo, Koharu, and Homura since they were of his previous age.

"Yes, Shikaku. This 'old coot' is definitely up to something." Sarutobi said in annoyance that made everyone, except for Danzo, to snicker in amusement. "And yes, this blue folder has something to do with it."

"What does this…mysterious folder have to do with this meeting?" asked Koharu, eyeing the folder suspiciously.

"Two years ago, Hari and I discussed the possibility of Konoha being under attack for various reasons. Since Hari love Konoha with everything he has considering that this has been his home ever since he arrived, he made sure to enact a few…defenses just in case his home is threatened. This is the blue folder – directives for the defense of Konoha to be only activated in dire situations. I think you all agree with me that an invasion is as dire as any situation that would come up?" Sarutobi asked rethorically.

Everyone nodded in agreement at that. They might have different views on things but defending their home was something they all had in common. They loved Konoha and they would all invade hell just to keep it safe.

"I now give the floor to Hari since he is the creator of the 'Defense Plan' contained inside this folder." said Sarutobi as he tapped the blue folder in front of him. "Hari, would you please?"

Hari nodded before standing up and walking towards the other end of the table, opposite of the Hokage. Everyone's attention were on him.

"The 'Blue Folder' contains the various directives for the defense of Konoha incase of an attack. I love Konoha with all of my heart, everyone accepted me when I needed a new home and I have devoted a lot of my time to protect its interest, may it be people or relations. This is why I created the 'Defense Plan' with the blessing of the Hokage and prepared them just in case it is needed."

"What does this 'Defense Plan' include, Hari-san?" ask Homura curiously while inwardly giddy at the thought of having a slew of defensive measures to protect the village.

"The blue folder, or the Defense Plan of Konoha as I like to call it, contains five levels. Each varying in terms of complexity and seriousness of the threat. Most of the measures there are already integrated into the village and would only require activation by the Hokage. There are five levels in total and I will leave it to the Hokage to answer your questions if you want to know about them. For now, I will discuss to you Level 3 of the Defense Plan which the Hokage wanted me to activate. This includes both passive and active defenses."

Hari paused for a bit to gather his thoughts, noticing that everyone's attention was focused on him. He mentally grinned at the sight. Their curiosities were piqued if nothing else.

"First, I will inform everyone of the passive defenses I integrated into the village with the permission of the Hokage." Hari began. "For starters, the walls surrounding Konoha are now ten times as durable. Meaning, an S-rank jutsu would just give it a scratch and any large summons could be pounding on it for weeks without noticeable effect."

"Whoah. How in the world did you do that?" asked Inoichi in surprise, which everyone mimicked. "I didn't see any construction projects happening around the walls."

"Of course you didn't." Hari said, mildly offended. "I was very discreet about it."

Sarutobi sighed. Trust Hari to play with everyone's curiosity.

"Just get on with it, Hari." Sarutobi said with a sigh. Hari might be a powerul and experienced Jounin, but he was still a prankster at heart and loved to play with the crowd.

"Fine. Ruin my fun, why don't you." Hari grumbled causing some of the shinobi in the room to snicker. "Anyway, you didn't see any constructions around the wall because there wasn't one. Using some…help I have at my disposal, I incorporated runes on the walls itself, making them durable and powered by the ambient energy of nature."

"Runes?" asked Hiashi in confusion. "What in Kami's name were runes?"

"In the world where I came from, we call it runes. But your version of it here in this world terms it as Fuuinjutsu." Hari promptly replied making everyone nod in understanding. "Anyway, the walls are now reinforced, making them as durable as tempered steel and then some. Even the gates of Konoha, once closed, will activat a locking mechanism that would shut it tight against outside forces. Nothing will ever penetrate it unless opened with the express permission of the Hokage."

"Is this the only passive defense you set up?" Shikaku asked, a thoughtful look on his face.

"Not at all. Key buildings in Konoha are also reinforced. The Hospital, the Academy, ANBU building, Hokage Tower, and the likes." Hari answered immediately.

"Ah." the Nara clan head nodded. "Continue please."

"Thank you, Shikaku. Don't mind if I do." Hari said, amused. "Level 3 of the Konoha Defense Plan is termed 'Prankster's Paradise' because of the various… pranks I placed all over Konoha to be activated if need be."

"Pranks? How in the world can pranks protect Konoha?" exclaimed Danzo, indignant at the thought of pranks being used to defend his beloved village. If this was Sarutobi's idea of a joke then he has something coming for wasting his time.

"Pranks of this world are harmless, Danzo-san. But pranks in my world…" Hari trailed off as he pulled out a black sphere from his pocket. Grinning, he slammed it on the ground causing it to break. Darkness rolled out and engulfed the room in black, turning visibility to zero.

Everyone was tense when their sight was practically nullified but they calmed down when they heard Hari's voice from…somewhere.

"This is what I call Peruvian Darkness Powder that a duo of pranksters of my acquaintance developed for me. As you can see, it can nullify the sight of anyone under it. Doujutsus are useless and nothing can penetrate the darkness. From what I understand, this is a non-jutsu equivalent of the ultimate genjutsu the Nidaime Hokage used, the Bringer of Infinte Darkness Technique. No chakra will cancel out the effects of the powder, nothing to do but wait it out…which would take 15 minutes, enough time for our forces to capture or kill them. However, our shinobi will be outfitted with a pair of contacts that I am currently wearing, allowing me to see through the darkness with ease." said Hari before using the countercharm Fred and George taught him to reverse the blinding effect of the powerder. He saw the awed looks in everyone's face. Even Danzo. "As you can see, this is a well-known prank in my world but if you use it on an enemy shinobi…" he left that hanging for someone to pick up. It was Aburame Shibi who did.

"Then our forces, who will be wearing the contacts you will provide, can easily take them down without opposition." Shibi drawled in his usual monotone. "An ingenious…prank, Hari-san."

"Thank you, Shibi-san. Glad you approved." Hari said smugly, preening under the positive attention he was garnering. He wasn't a ham-dog, so to speak, but attentions like these were hard to come by.

"Are these the only…pranks you have?" Tsume asked eagerly, wanting to see more of what his fellow clan head and shinobi had to offer.

"Nope, I have tons of them. I will give you all a list later to peruse and get familiar with. It is up to you guys to tell everyone of your clan about them. Let me proceed with the active defenses." Hari turned to the Hokage who was watching everyone with an amused expression on his face. "Who is the tactical advisor of Konoha, Hokage-sama?"

"That would be Shikaku." said Sarutobi, noting the surprised look on Hari's face. "He might be a lazy bastard but he has one of the best minds when it comes to strategies."

"I'm not lazy." Shikaku mock-whined which made everyone snicker. Whatever he had in his system was making him hyper. Damn that Hari.

"Yes you are and you know it." Chouza pointed out to his best friend. A lazy Nara was a natural Nara, after all. Everyone in the Elemental Nations knows that.

"Fine, but it's not polite to just come out and say it." Shikaku grumbled good naturedly.

"Children…" Inoichi started with a sigh. If he didn't stop these two now then they wouldn't get anything done.

"Yes mother." Chouza and Shikaku answered in unision causing quite a few to laugh.

"Enough of the games already, you're stealing my thunder here, Shikaku." said Hari, annoyed.

"I apologize, Hari-san." the Nara apologized though it was clear on the man's face that he didn't mean it.

"Not…accepted." said Hari with a mock-glare before smiling. He snapped his fingers, removing the invisibility spell he placed on the map of Konoha plastered on the wall behind him. "As you can see, this is an interactive map of Konoha."

"What are those moving dots all over the map, Hari-san?" asked Tsume, eyeing the map curiously.

Hari grinned and tapped the portion of the map where his clan compound was located. The portion where he tapped magnified to show where the conference room was. Everyone was shocked to see green dots with their names on it. Hari saw the recognition on their faces which prompted him to explain.

"I think everyone noticed the special feature of this map. This is what I call the Marauder's Map. It is powered by mahoujutsu, my bloodline, that can keep track of everyone…and I do mean everyone…inside Konoha. Green dots are Konoha shinobis, white are civilian and red are shinobis from other countries. The names are underneath their respective dots. This is the ultimate spying and monitoring tool." Hari said proudly. It took him quite a while to replicate the enchantments on the original Marauder's map and integrate it into the gigantic map of Konoha. Not to mention the amount of runes he had to place all over the village to make sure that every single location was displayed on the thing.

"Amazing." Danzo breathed out. Everyone simply nodded in agreement, even the Hokage since this was the first time he saw the map first hand. Hari described it to him but seeing it in reality was something else.

"Since Shikaku is the tactical advisor of the shinobi forces, he will be manning the map during the invasion. All the shinobi forces will be wearing a pair of communication earrings…" Hari held out a ruby-studded earring for everyone to see. "Which will allow Shikaku to communicate with them directly and give out orders. For him to do that, he needs to wear this necklace…" Hari reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a simply gold necklace. "With these two, you can easily contact every single shinobi in Konoha and deploy them where there is need. I included the various prank items I placed around Konoha on the map and labeled them accordingly. All you need to do is coordinate and execute. Easy enough."

"Why does it have to be me?" asked Shikaku since he could already feel the work this was going to take.

"It's either that or you position yourself in the front lines." the Hokage suggested with an unholy glint in his eyes.

"Now that you mention it, I think manning the map is the perfect job for me." Shikaku ammeded immediately before promptly catching the necklace which Hari threw at him.

"Wear it. I'll give the earrings to Hokage-sama later for distribution. I'll send you a scroll on how to use the map's features and how to call on specific earrings to relay your commands." Hari offered.

"Thanks." the Nara grumbled though his mind was already whirling with various scenarios that he could use in combination of the map, necklace, and earring. The logistics would be easier and strategies on the fly would be easily carried out. "Where is the map going to be placed? I doubt you're going to be placing it here in your compound."

Hari shook his head.

"Nope. I plan to place it in an underground bunker underneath the Hokage Tower. It is a defensible position and you won't have to worry about enemy shinobis taking you out and crippling our defenses." he explained causing the Nara clan head to nod at the idea.

"Any idea as to when the invasion would start?" asked Hiashi as he eyed the map who was now showing the entirety of Konoha. His eyes zoomed on Training Ground 8 where his daughter was along with the rest of her teammates.

"If I was the invading force then I would be starting the invasion on the final part of the exam." the Hokage answered. Everyone looked at him in question, except for Shikaku who simply nodded. "The final part of the exam will be attended by every high-ranking officials all around the Elemental Nations, not to mention potential clients who wanted to keep an eye on the capabilties of the shinobis of various village for future missions. If they wanted to get the maximum effect from the invasion then it would be during that time they would strike."

"If that is the case then we would be hard-pressed to protect two fronts at the same time." Shikaku mused. "Of course, the Konoha Stadium would have to be defended considering that high-ranking officials would be there and the walls as well since the invading force would be trying to get in. However, what worries me is how we can keep track of the potential enemy shinobis inside our walls during the exams. Any ideas, Hari-san?"

"I do. My elves are already checking out every single foreign shinobi in Konoha and they will submit a report to me which I will relay to the Hokage for review."

"Elves?" Shikaku asked. Hari grinned.

"Mahora elves to me." shouted Hari causing a loud pop to echo around the room prompting the attendance of two dozen house elves in their own personal uniforms. The shinobis were looking at the little buggers with interest. "These are house elves. Helpful little buggers and have their own special abilities that they could use to spy without being detected. I already dispatched the lot of them to keep track of foreign shinobis around Konoha to sniff out the invading forces. Also, they will help in evacuating the civilians if there is need, as well as sending our forces to the hospital for treatment while in the battlefield. They can teleport anywhere instantly, making them a valuable addition to our shinobi force."

"What do this…elves do, Hari-san?" asked Danzo in curiosity, eyeing the house elves with interest.

"To be honest, their main responsibility is to take care of the house." Hari informed them causing everyone to look at him and the elves incredulously. Hari dismissed the elves, causing another loud pop to echo around the room. "From the name itself, they are HOUSE elves. Meaning, they help around the house – they cook, clean, arrange, serve… you name them, they can do it. I'm just using their capabilities to spy since they don't have any abilities to fight." They didn't need to know that each elves packed quite a wallop if there was need. Only the Hokage knew what they were capable of and that was enough for now.

"I see. So I take it that this…teleportation is one of their unique methods of travel that we will be using in the battlefield?" asked Danzo with a smile on his face.

"Yes." Hari replied, taking note of the smile on the warhawk's face. Danzo nodded and kept quiet after that. "That concludes my explanation of the Defense Plan. If something new comes up then Hokage-sama will be calling on a meeting again. Shikaku-san, I will be placing the map on the bunker tonight. I suggest that you set a schedule to make sure that someone will always be there to keep an eye on things. I wouldn't put it past the invading force to hit us with our guards down."

"Thanks. I'll make the necessary preparations." Shikaku promised, already listing down some trustworthy people who would be keeping an eye out on the map 24/7.

The meeting degenerated to sharing of ideas to be used during the invasion. Hari simply noted their ideas while the Hokage guided everyone accordingly.

One thing was for sure, the invasion force wouldn't know what hit them.

End of chapter 14.
