The Path of the Great Sovereign 16 War Preparations

Eternal Night is a a very interesting genjutsu, the first of its kind. It creates the a mental copy of all the caster's fears, amplifies them and traps targets within. As targets get Trapped within, all of their fears are added to the world, If they are killed while the jutsu is active on them. Then, they will be added to the world as Warden's Guards. Ichizo will not realize this until much later.

The Rock Shinobi fell to the ground and screamed at the top of their lungs. Shisui felt a little bad in his heart because he experienced the dread of that genjutsu first hand.

"Kill Them all, once we are done we will head back to the Village." Once that was said the three of them got to work and quickly disposed of the screaming Shinobi. Erasing all evidence that they were there was completely unnecessary, They want the Hidden Stone to know they found out about their plans.

Disappearing in to the night they begin the journey back to the village, They successfully completed their first mission and were feeling extremely proud about it.

'Now lets think about the order of events. The Hidden Stone invade the Land of fire, We foiled that plan successfully. So what happens next?'

[The Battle where Obito, Ren, and Kakashi face the ninja from the Hidden Mist is around 3 Months away, The Third Great Ninja war has not started yet and you have given the Leaf a grace period to prepare their strengths. Ichizo I would advise you to keep a close eye on Team Minato to confirm this intelligence. The Cease Fire event in the Land of Rain is 7 Months away, Would you like me to create a countdown clock for these two events?]

'Yes do that'

[Acknowledged.]

It took 4 Days to Arrive back at the Hidden Leaf. Which gave the Hokage 12 days of time to Prepare for war. When they arrived in the Hokage's Office he personally sealed the room.

He Sat back at his desk, looked at the Trio and asked "What are your findings?"

Itachi answered "Sir, There were 100 Rock Shinobi in The Land of Grass. The were using the skirmishes among the small countries around the Land of Fire as a Smokescreen to confuse and make the Hidden Leaf expend its military strength to quell the violence. During which they would invade the Land of Fire and start a war, 12 Days are left until the invasion begins."

Lord Third Closed his eyes leaned back in his chair and smoked his pipe. After a few moments he opens his eyes again and asks "How did you escape and make it back to the Leaf with relatively no injuries?"

Shisui spoke this time "Sir, We eliminated all hostile shinobi."

His Voice was calm and he spoke in a very respectful tone however, the pipe in Lord Third's hand fell to the floor. 'WHAT? These three Eliminated ALL the Scouts of the Hidden Stone!' It took him a few moments to process that information, After he collected himself he stood up, collected his pipe and turn his back to stare out the window at the Village.

After Staring out the window for a few moments he went to his desk opened a drawer and pulled out a unique Tri-pointed kunai. He channeled some chakra into the kunai the threw the kunai on to the floor where it it was embedded into the wood.

Less than a minute later a Figure appeared where the Kunai landed. The Shinobi had Bright Blue Eyes, Spiky Blond Hair with jaw-length bangs that hung down on both sides of his face. He was Wearing the Standard Leaf shinobi Uniform with two bands on both of his sleeves, A Green Flak, Blue Leaf Headband, and Blue Shinobi sandals. It was Minato Namikaze.

The Hokage didn't even wait for him to speak and said "Gather All Jonin Level Shinobi Minato, Now." As soon as that was said Minato Teleported away.

"You Three will also stay for this meeting." The Hokage Said as he sat back down in his chair.

We Stood up and stood on the Hokage's Left and a little behind him near the window, around five minutes later Everyone arrived. Father, Mother, and Kushina which is Naruto's mother are included in this group As well as the Legendary Sannin.

'AHH I Forgot, The reason Orochimaru wants to destroy the leaf is because he was not picked to be the Hokage.'

[...]

[*Sighs*]

'Please Leave me alone Great Siri-sama, I apologies for my incompetence.'

*Clears Throat* Lets get back to the meeting. "The Anbu have just gotten back from a mission and have some grave news, Futatsu! Relay to them what you told me!"

Ichizo Steps foward "Yes Sir, In The Land of Grass we encountered 100 Rock Shinobi which were tasked to disrupt and destroy the political, economic, and Military Foundations of the land of Fire. We also learned from one of those shinobi that an Invasion of the Land of Fire by The Hidden Stone will happen in 12 Days."

After Ichizo says his piece the entire atmosphere of the room changes. The Hokage interjects before things get out of hand " That Means we have 12 Days to get all shinobi out on missions back and get ready for the Hidden Stones invasion. We do not have the time to dawdle and do nothing! All of you get this done NOW!"

"Yes Sir!" All the Jonin disappeared as they came with the exception of Mom and Dad.
