[Konoha News Agency · August 2nd Konoha Time Report!]

[On behalf of the Hokage Office, the Konoha News Agency issued the following statement on August 1st, Year 51 of Konoha:]

[The authorities of the Land of Grass and the Land of Rivers have ignored repeated warnings from Konoha Village, continuously sending assassination ninjas to invade the territory of Konoha Village and attack the elders of Konoha Village. The situation has severely deteriorated...]

[Seriously threatening the peace and security of our village's borders!]

[Konoha Village, having no choice but to endure the intolerable, is forced to launch—]

[A self-defensive counterattack!]

[Konoha Village will take special military action to destroy the evil organizations of the Land of Grass and the Land of Rivers, and urge the ninjas of the two countries to lay down their weapons and go home immediately!]

[The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, stated: Konoha Village's special military action is not related to infringing upon the interests of the Land of Grass and the Land of Rivers, but is related to protecting itself from the invasion of 'ambitious individuals.']

Before the Konoha Blitz Unit set off, Gojo Kaigetsu once again emphasized the two objectives of this special military operation.

First: Destroy the resistance forces of Kusagakure (Grass Village) and shatter Kumogakure's (Cloud Village) illusion of stationing troops in Kusagakure.

Second: Rescue the members of the Uzumaki clan who are trapped—Uzumaki Momohime and her daughter.

To ensure the safety of the hostages, Gojo Kaigetsu adopted the suggestion of Shikaku Nara, refraining from mentioning the mission's objectives in the statement.

They would swiftly eliminate Kusagakure's resistance forces before they could react.

As for rescuing the hostages, it didn't necessarily have to be through diplomatic means. Annihilating the guarding forces was the best rescue!

Do things thoroughly!

Weak villages have no possibility of diplomacy; they won't even have time to react before being jointly destroyed by Konoha and Iwagakure.

And the ninja world would never speak up for a village or country that has been wiped out.

This was already evident in the destruction of Uzushiogakure (Land of Whirlpools).

No matter how strong the alliance, in this cruel ninja world, the dead don't deserve any sympathy or attention. There would only be a feast of dividing spoils under the guise of the corpse.

Under this guiding ideology, a statement titled "Regarding the Recent Turbulent Situation in the Ninja World: Konoha's Sacred Self-Defense and Counterattack" was sent to the ninja world.

At the moment it was sent, Fugaku Uchiha bid farewell to his clansmen, to Itachi Uchiha, and to Mikoto Uchiha.

He stood in front of the Hokage Building, and behind him were one hundred elite Konoha ninjas, carefully selected.

Fugaku solemnly donned his Konoha forehead protector, his fingers brushing over the bold Konoha declaration inscribed on it. He accepted the epaulet symbolizing the commander-in-chief of the Blitz unit from Gojo Kaigetsu's hands.
