Torifu didn't know how such a powerful jutsu would be so foolishly defeated by someone during the Second Great Shinobi War. Otherwise, he could have been a candidate for Hokage.
Dan shook his head, a little embarrassed when he heard Torifu's words. When he first developed this jutsu, Torifu immediately promoted him to the head of the Anbu. At his age, he definitely couldn't win over the people. Torifu didn't use his authority to pressure them. Instead, he let Dan win them over with his own strength. And Dan didn't fail to live up to Torifu's trust. He easily defeated many veteran ninjas in the Anbu and successfully became the head of the Anbu, Torifu's right-hand man.
Dan was still a little nervous about the possible attack tonight. This could be said to be the first large-scale mission he had participated in since he became the head of the Anbu. If the village suffered losses or casualties because of him, he would definitely feel very guilty.
Torifu naturally saw the worry in Dan's heart and comforted him. "It's fine. The future may be even more severe than this. Just consider this as a training exercise. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Then Torifu took Dan's teacup and poured him a cup of tea. "Have some tea to calm down. Being this nervous isn't good for a fight. You're a seasoned veteran. Why are you still acting like a rookie?"
Dan took a sip and drank the tea in one go. The fragrant tea did indeed ease some of his anxiety. The sky was getting darker and darker, but the streetlights in Konoha were on all night, so there was no need to worry about fighting in the dark. The two of them waited until the sky was completely dark, but there was no movement outside the village. From time to time, Anbu ninjas would come to Torifu to report. Although Konoha seemed to be peaceful on the surface, the heads of the great clans were all dressed in their armor and were ready at all times.
Another hour passed. It was almost eleven o'clock. It was late at night. Torifu was feeling that those ninjas probably really didn't dare to come to Konoha and was about to order the heads of the clans to rest, when the Cloud Palace's alarm suddenly blared:
[WARNING! WARNING! ENEMIES ARE APPROACHING!]
[WARNING! WARNING! ENEMIES ARE APPROACHING!]
At this moment, Torifu suddenly stood up, raising his palm to the sky. A fireball immediately flew into the sky and exploded! It lit up the entire sky above Konoha! In an instant, the entire Konoha became restless. Countless black figures shot out from every home, moving through Konoha like ghosts in the night.
Torifu looked at Dan. "The enemies are here. There are twelve of them. They seem to take Konoha very seriously."
Dan looked serious. "Hokage-sama, we will face the enemy together!"
Torifu nodded and leaped into the sky! Countless clouds gathered around him, forming a vortex! When the clouds dissipated, Torifu had already activated his Sage Mode. His pair of iron wings flapped constantly, creating gusts of fierce wind.
When he saw this, Dan also quickly formed a hand seal. "Spirit Transformation Jutsu!" As a beam of light from who-knows-where shone on him, his soul slowly flew out of his body. It looked no different from his body, just a little transparent. In his soul state, Dan could fly freely in the air. He immediately rushed to the top of Konoha's wall and found that there were indeed several figures in the distance rushing towards Konoha. He didn't blindly rush forward. Instead, he waited for Torifu's command.
Not long after, one figure after another gathered on top of Konoha's wall. Uchiha Kagami, Hyuga Shishin, Sarutobi Suiga, and all the other heads of the clans arrived. What Dan didn't expect was that Tsunade also came. Looking at Dan floating in the sky, Tsunade smiled and waved. Then she also leaped onto the top of the wall and watched the enemies in the distance. For something this small, her grandfather didn't have to make a move, but the Senju clan definitely had to send someone to fight. So, Tsunade volunteered.
The twelve figures on the other side were constantly approaching. They also saw the people on top of Konoha's wall. But they didn't show any fear and continued to rush towards Konoha. The leading ninja in the group had already started to form a hand seal. In the next second, a giant fireball flew towards Konoha's main gate! Torifu waved his hand in the sky! A line of crystals suddenly condensed on the ground, successfully blocking the flames and forming a barrier.
The twelve people stopped not far from the crystals. Everyone was completely covered, and their appearance could not be seen at all. They had even intentionally hidden their gender.
"Stop there. If you take one step past that crystal, you will be an enemy of Konoha. Living will be a luxury for you." Torifu's voice spread out and echoed around them, sounding like the sound of a heavenly being from a field. Just hearing his voice made them feel a little afraid.
But the leading ninja still stepped forward. "We've come to ask for a lesson from Konoha. Does Hokage-sama want to be a coward? The Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Stone Village were both easily defeated by us. The so-called four great shinobi villages are nothing more than this."
Then he laughed wildly. "After we defeat Konoha, we will also conquer the Hidden Mist Village. By then, you won't dare to look down on us anymore!" His voice was filled with anger. Torifu was a little confused when he heard this. For so many years, Konoha had been steadily developing and had never made an enemy of any country or village. How did an enemy suddenly appear out of thin air?
That ninja stared at Torifu in the sky. "Today, Konoha will also be easily defeated by us, just like the other shinobi villages!" He quickly formed a hand seal, and a hard, rock-like skin began to condense on his hands. In the next second, he punched the crystal. The crystal that had just been burned by the flames could no longer withstand this punch. It shattered into a million pieces with the leader's angry roar, and then he stepped on it!
"I have already crossed this line. Konoha must accept our challenge!"
Torifu shook his head when he heard this and clapped his hands, making a crisp sound. Then, countless crystal spikes shot out from the ground! And they were constantly approaching the twelve people.
"Don't underestimate us!" The leader roared and then plunged his hands into the ground! Then the entire earth began to shake, and the crystal spikes were also shattered by him. The ninjas on top of the wall couldn't hold back anymore. It was rare for these clan heads to have suitable opponents. This opportunity was truly rare.
With a wave of Torifu's hand! All the clan heads rushed out together and launched an attack on the twelve ninjas! And Dan also aimed for a ninja who looked relatively weak and flew over.
