Escape From Konoha

"The first generation of... Shadow..."

Hearing Liuli's words, Ayane pondered for a moment.

Of course, her performance was not fear.

The era dominated by ninjas is undoubtedly moving forward in terms of comprehensive fields.

Perhaps during the Warring States Period, the Five Shadows of the Troubled Times were all terrifying beings capable of defeating tens of thousands of ninjas, but if it was only to this extent, in a one-on-one situation, Ayane was not afraid at all.

After all, the strength of a ninja reincarnated through dirty soil will be greatly reduced compared to that in life, and there will be many weaknesses.

"Although there are ways to restrain them, the increase in the number of shadows is also a problem. Moreover, most of these ninjas reincarnated from the dirty land have been reincarnated by Danzo in advance. There is no point in sending people to assassinate him now."

Ayane frowned.

Moreover, Danzo understands that the Demon Country knows the method of reincarnation by hiding dirty soil at its roots, and it is unknown what kind of trap it has designed secretly.

It would be great if the root had established a relationship with the Alliance Army from the beginning, so that the root's movements could be obtained in advance.

It's a pity that Root is nominally part of the Alliance Army, but in fact, Root's actions are still controlled by Danzo, and it is independent of the Alliance Army. It is in a special position that is close to the Alliance Army, but not controlled by the Alliance Army at all.

Dealing with Danzo now will only alert the Alliance Army and disrupt the next deployment of the Kingdom of Demons.

"There is no need to worry for the time being. Given the current situation of the Alliance Army, they will not accept Danzo's proposal so quickly before they are at the end of their rope."

Liuli said at this time, indicating that the alliance army still had room to counterattack at this time.

Whether it is due to their own pride or fear and vigilance towards Danzo, the Alliance Army will not decide so quickly if they want to accept Danzo's proposal quickly.

Because if this kind of thing is not handled well, it will cause huge trouble.

And this is also true. In the loudspeaker, since Genbu proposed that strategy, the meeting has fallen into a state of silence.

Even without a clear picture, Liuli could imagine the mental state the Five Shadows were suffering from at this time.

Maybe there was some element of aggression involved, but out of fear or pride, it would undoubtedly be more difficult to get them to adopt this tactic immediately.

"Okay, now we can only wait and see what happens. But no matter what, we have to use up all their vitality. If we solve them one by one, there will be too many fish that slip through the net. In that case, things will be difficult. .”

Ayane nodded, but there was no sound coming from the loudspeaker. This would probably end this alliance summit meeting.

…

On the other side, the Five Shadows of the Alliance Army, who had finished their talks with the daimyo and Nebe, walked out of the room with a gloomy expression, stopped in the corridor, and did not return immediately.

"Princess Tsunade, the ninja in your village always likes to cause trouble for others."

The third Tsuchikage Onoki's body was floating in mid-air, his eyes glanced at the silent Tsunade, with deep meaning in his eyes.

"Mr. Onoki, are you doubting me?"

Tsunade took a deep breath, knowing that this incident was the result of her poor supervision.

I originally thought that Danzo would be honest this time and help the alliance safely, but he didn't expect that he would have a 'surprise' for him now.

"Danzo is your ninja of Konoha, and you are the Hokage who leads Konoha. It is difficult for me not to associate you two together and use this war to plot something secretly."

Onoki said so.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he began to question whether Tsunade was secretly planning some unknown conspiracy.

Because even he was shocked by Danzo's generosity.

"Even if you say so, old man, I don't know anything about this matter."

Tsunade shook her head and directly denied it with a calm expression.

She knew that no matter what she said at this time, it would arouse others' suspicion, but she would never admit that it was framed by others if it was not something she did.

"Speaking of which, the Earth Reincarnation Technique requires the biological tissue of the human body in order to reincarnate the dead to fight. However, the remains of the previous Mizukages preserved in our village are still intact. What is going on?"

Terumi Mei was puzzled at this moment.

Every village has basically heard about the art of reincarnation from dirty soil and knows what the prerequisites are for performing this art.

If you want to summon the deceased, you need the biological tissue containing DNA of the deceased during his lifetime, and use this as a medium to resurrect the deceased in the pure land.

"It must have been collected from ancient battlefields in the past. No matter how strong a ninja is, when encountering a powerful enemy, it is impossible for him to remain unscathed and bleed on the battlefield. And because of their fame, those ancient battlefields are also very It's easy to find. Usually no one goes to that kind of place. However, it is not an easy task to collect them all. That guy in Danzo probably planned these dead ninjas many years ago. "

The Fourth Raikage intervened at this time and expressed a very possible idea.

Each village attaches great importance to the places where the remains of the shadows of the past generations are placed. Coupled with the defense forces of each village, it is not easy for people from other villages to come in to fish in troubled waters and steal the biological tissues from the bodies of the shadows of the past generations.

Not to mention Kirigakure, the Fourth Raikage has never heard of any incidents related to the theft of the remains of the Raikages of Kirigakure in recent years.

Therefore, if Danzo wanted to obtain the biological tissues containing the DNA of these ninjas, he could only search them from the ancient battlefield areas of the past and conduct trial and error one by one.

And the cost of every trial and error is naturally a life.

Although I don’t know how many times Danzo tried and made mistakes in order to collect these things, I think it was probably no less.

"..."

As if thinking of this possibility, Tsunade's face became even more ugly.

"Princess Tsunade, you have really failed as Hokage, allowing this kind of guy to become big in the village."

Onogi stared at Tsunade and said this.

Immediately, he changed the subject and said: "However, even this crooked fighting method has its value. As for the dirty land reincarnation tactic provided by Danzo, I think it is worth giving it a try. These dead people can stand up to the last From the front, clear the obstacles ahead for us. While clearing out the enemy's effective forces, it can also reduce the losses on our side. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"Tsuchikage, what do you mean? Are you planning to use such crooked means to achieve victory?"

Tsunade stopped even calling 'Old Master' and stared at Ohnoki with cold eyes.

"Hokage, this is war. And in war, any method used is reasonable, as long as it is for victory. Otherwise, we would not have hired those bounty hunters to work for our alliance from the beginning."

Onoki snorted and aimed at Tsunade in a preachy tone.

"That is the proposal you passed. I personally do not support such an approach."

"Pedantry! As a shadow of a village, when dealing with the special period of war, victory should be regarded as the first priority, and everything else is secondary! It is impossible for you who have come from the war years not to understand this truth. We are facing powerful enemies like Akatsuki and Demon Country. I don’t think the alliance’s current strength is capable of going to the end. We cannot afford to fail.”

Ohnoki has no hesitation in being pessimistic.

He is not optimistic about the future of the Alliance Army now.

Although the Five Shadows are very powerful, they all know very well that the strength of the five of them alone cannot influence the situation of the battle at all.

Once the war enters the final stage, the gap between them and the Demon Country and even Akatsuki will be clearly revealed.

In this case, even if he knew that Danzo might have bad intentions, Onoki still felt that there was value in giving it a try.

"It's unreasonable to rely on the dead to win!"

Not to be outdone, Tsunade confronted Onogi.

"It sounds nice, but this technique was created by you, the Second Hokage of Konoha."

Onoki ran back mercilessly.

Tsunade's breath suffocated, and she clenched her fist fiercely. Powerful chakra burst out from her body, setting off a storm around her.

Kaka!

Horrible cracks appeared in the floor and corridor masonry, extending in the direction of Onoki.

However, facing the aura of oppression, Onogi faced it calmly, letting Tsunade's aura crush him, and he himself was indifferent, appearing very calm.

"You two, please stop!"

Terumi Mei stepped forward, standing between Tsunade and Onoki, defusing their offensive.

Looking around, Terumi Mei continued:

"The enemy has not been eliminated yet. If we start fighting among ourselves here, it will make people laugh. Both of their opinions are reasonable. So, I think it is better to vote by vote. The minority obeys the majority."

"That's okay. Although I don't like Danzo and I know he has other tricks, as long as it is beneficial to the alliance's war situation, I vote for this tactic."

Onoki was the first to set an example.

"Negative, I disagree."

Tsunade said coldly.

"Abstain."

Terumi Mei chose to be neutral, intending to wait and see, neither to help each other.

"veto."

The Fourth Raikage spoke.

"Lei Ying, when did you become so disciplined?"

Onogi looked at Fourth Raikage in astonishment.

Fourth Raikage is definitely not a person who likes to follow the rules.

The filthy soil reincarnation tactic definitely has more advantages than disadvantages for the current alliance army. As long as this result is weighed, in Ohnoki's view, the Fourth Raikage will definitely agree.

However, he voted against it.

"Most of the strength of our alliance army is still there. Moreover... if we use this tactic now, it will only force the Kingdom of Demons and Akatsuki to unite and jointly target our alliance army. In a three-party battle, the alliance relationship will increase or decrease at any time according to the strength of each party. Make adjustments. Even if this tactic is adopted in the end, now is not the best time."

The Fourth Raikage said in a deep voice.

Ohnoki lowered his head in thought, nodded slightly, and admitted that what Saidai Raikage said made sense.

The alliance between the alliance army and the kingdom of ghosts is not unbreakable. Once the alliance army showed amazing strength, the ghost country would definitely abandon the alliance army immediately and turn around to cooperate with Akatsuki.

By then, the Confederates would be in trouble.

…

The Four Shadows' decision on the tactics of reincarnation in the dirty soil was quickly conveyed to Luo Sha on the front line.

Although the Intelligence Department only gave the two meaningless words of 'veto', it was enough for Luo Sha to understand what kind of attitude the other four Kage held towards the dirty land reincarnation tactic.

Furthermore, regarding this tactic, Luo Sha had mixed feelings. He is well aware of the hardships of this war. If the dirty land reincarnation tactic is put into use, most of the current problems can be easily solved, and the country of rain can be invaded as quickly as possible.

But on the other hand, he also felt that using dead ninjas to fight, especially in this, and their Sunagakure's past Kazekage, made Rasa feel ashamed to face his ancestors.

"I hope this tactic won't be used..."

Luosha murmured to himself.

Once this tactic is used, it means that the Alliance army is at an absolute disadvantage and needs to rely on dead men to reverse the situation.

Luo Sha didn't want to see this kind of thing.

Shaking off this embarrassing thought, Luo Sha sighed and walked out of the tent.

"Kazekage-sama."

Outside the tent, there were ninjas from the Alliance Army guarding them. When they saw Luo Sha coming out of the tent, they bowed lightly.

"Inform the three captains and tell them that we have something to discuss."

Luo Sha calmed down her emotions and her expression returned to normal, making it impossible to see any flaws.

Rather than worrying about whether to use the dirty soil reincarnation tactic, for him, handling the battle situation on the front line is the top priority now.

◎

The warrior, whose whole body was burning with lava, remained the size of an adult and flew across the endless wilderness.

Perhaps due to the ravages of war, this wilderness is littered with gravel and cool breeze, giving people a sense of desolation and desolation.

Every time the lava warriors take a step, they will leave a blackened footprint on the ground, representing their footsteps.

His golden eyes, without any emotion, coldly scanned the wilderness, searching for possible enemies.

A few kilometers away, in the territory of the Bird Kingdom, in the camp of the Ghost Kingdom military fortress, processing the screen information that these lava warriors keep feeding back, so far, Yiji has not found any traces of Baijue's troops moving nearby .

Although most of Shiro had already evacuated from the Bird Country, Kazuhime knew that there must be a small number of Shiro who still stayed in the Bird Country, but because of the deep hiding, they hadn't noticed it yet.

Otherwise, the Oni Country ninjas in the fortress would not be replaced by White Zetsu.

Due to the timely measures taken and the fact that all personnel were on alert, the warehouse area within the fortress did not suffer a second raid.

It's just that this calm situation is just an illusion that Bai Jue can create. They have also turned into the appearance of ninjas from the kingdom of ghosts, watching in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to prepare.

Regarding this situation, before the headquarters finds out a solution, Yiji can only turn a blind eye and close one eye, waiting for the notification from the headquarters, while dispatching the thorn team to investigate suspicious persons in the dark.

After all, Bai Jue only used transformation techniques and could not completely replace a person.

As long as we focus on this point, the matter can be solved smoothly, but this strategy is only suitable when the fortress is closed, and it takes a long time.

"Team leader."

Hinata Aoi, who was responsible for delivering documents, knocked on the door and walked in.

Kazuhime continued to control the lava warrior's actions, and glanced at Hinata Aoi's position.

"Is it news from the headquarters?"

"No, it's the intelligence from the Alliance Army. Regarding the Alliance Army's attack on Kusagakure, it seems that they are in a stalemate with Akatsuki."

Ri Xiangkui glanced at the document and said.

"As expected, as long as they can't find Bai Jue who has sneaked in, they can't let go of all their hands and feet and fight with Cao Yin's Bai Jue with all their strength. In this case, it is the best way to stay still, otherwise, their The medical pressure will be greater and the casualties will be more severe."

Due to the different tactics, the medical pressure on the Oni Land side is not great, and there are only a very small number of special individuals who infiltrate, and there will not be many personnel. As long as the ninjas of the Hyuga clan in the fortress stare at them, basically they can Eliminate the possibility of being attacked.

But the Alliance Army is different. So far, they have accumulated at least a thousand wounded in the Country of Grass. Even if the number of people who can be mobilized is still very large, under the circumstances of dividing troops to take care of the medical troops, the forces that can be freely mobilized will inevitably be affected. contain.

Ultimately, this was due to the uneven quality of the Alliance army and its lack of discipline.

"What's the situation in the rest of the area?"

"The same is true in the western battlefield of the Country of Fire. The fifth regiment of the Alliance Army was unable to break into the Country of Rain directly and was restrained by Bai Jue's sneak attack tactics."

"Where are their main forces located in the Land of Earth, the Land of Iron, and the Land of Taki?"

Yiji continued to ask.

Although the main force of the Alliance Army attacking Akatsuki is currently concentrated in the Country of Grass, there are still a large number of Alliance Army fighters in the three countries of the Land of Earth, the Country of Iron, and the Country of Taki.

The total number of Union Army fighters in these three countries reached 60,000, half of the total number of Union Army.

If some of the main forces in these three countries were transferred to the front line of the Country of Grass, although certain sacrifices would be made, it would not be difficult to flatten the entire Hermit Grass.

"Still standing still, there is no sign of being transferred to other battlefields."

"It's this time, don't forget to be vigilant here, a little too cautious."

Yiji smiled teasingly.

She naturally knew why the Union Army left half of its troops and did not immediately go to the battlefield.

The alliance contract is very fragile. As the battle situation progresses, the relationship between the enemy and the friend can also be changed at any time.

It's as if the Oni Land is guarding against the Allied ninjas of the Land of Land, a main force of the General's side is stationed in the west of the Land of Land, and a killer like Uchiha Sasuke is also placed there, in order to prevent the Alliance Army from suddenly tearing up The covenant, broke into the hinterland of the ghost country.

It may seem like an idle move, but the importance of that army is self-evident.

"Because we and the Alliance Army are pretty much the same when it comes to each having their own ghosts. The alliance on paper is too fragile. If both of us had concentrated all our strength from the beginning, we would have already invaded the Land of Rain by now."

Sun Xiangkui said regretfully.

However, this kind of thing is impossible to happen.

It is impossible for the Alliance Army and the Kingdom of Ghosts not to set up a defense line in their own area of ​​influence to deal with the possible betrayal of the 'allies'.

The Kingdom of Ghosts, in particular, cannot afford to gamble on the dire consequences of the Alliance Army directly attacking the hinterland of the Kingdom of Ghosts. The industrial system established there must not be destroyed.

This caused the main forces of both sides to be pinned to the rear, unable to draw out, and deeply mired in the quagmire.

But compared to the ninjas fighting on the front line, how lucky are these people to enjoy the final peace in the rear.

"Continue to monitor the movement of the Kingdom of Grass, and send another notice to their headquarters, urging them to advance quickly. After they control the entire territory of the Kingdom of Grass and gather their troops, the Kingdom of Ghosts will cooperate with them to launch a general attack on Akatsuki. .”

Yi Ji calmly gave the order.

Due to the rapid fighting a while ago, the entire territory of Bird Country has fallen into the hands of Ghost Country, and all obstacles to attacking Rain Country have been removed.

Next, we only need to wait for the main force of the Alliance Army to occupy the entire Kingdom of Grass, and then they can jointly launch a general attack on Akatsuki and end the conquest of Akatsuki.

"yes."

Ri Xiangkui saluted respectfully and exited the room.

Kazuki watched Hinata leave, and refocused on the lava warrior who was out, patrolling the border.

◎

Yuyin, a high tower.

The sound of pattering rain came from outside, making the room extremely quiet.

Tiandao, which was made from the dead body of Sanshoyu Hanzo, the former leader of Ren Yuyin, is now holding a sickle behind his back, standing in place like a puppet, with his eyes closed, motionless.

In addition, there was a Shura Dao with his head separated from his body. What was exposed at the wound was not human flesh and blood tissue, but mechanical parts.

"I underestimated them. I didn't expect that the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki's strength would suddenly increase so much in such a short period of time. He also learned the Vajra Blockade of the Uzumaki clan. Even the Pains are no match for him."

Nagato looked at the defeated Heavenly Way and Shura Way. The remaining four paths were suppressed by King Kong's blockade, and their chakra was completely blocked, cutting off the psychic contract with him.

After all, the psychic technique uses chakra as its energy source. If the chakra is blocked, the psychic technique will naturally become ineffective.

Nagato has no hope of rescuing the four Penns left on the sea. Most of them have now been recovered by the Alliance Army.

"The Country of Grass is not optimistic. Although some dragon beasts have been invested, it seems not ideal. If this continues, Bai Jue will not be able to hold on for long."

Konan said.

Although the use of Bai Jue's transformation ability has created certain obstacles for the Alliance Army, this obstacle will gradually lose effectiveness over time.

"I didn't expect them to be able to accomplish anything, but to be able to do it to this extent has exceeded my expectations."

With that said, Nagato heard the sound of footsteps and turned his eyes to the source of the sound.

Bei Liuhu walked out of the shadows, each carrying one person in his hand. Judging from their attire and the word "nin" on their foreheads, there was no doubt that they were ninjas affiliated with the Alliance Army.

"As requested, two Alliance prisoners have been brought over."

Bei Liuhu casually dropped the two of them. Due to the injection of drugs, the two Alliance ninjas were still unconscious.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Nagato nodded, came to the two people who had fallen asleep, and examined them carefully with his samsara eyes.

"The quality is good, barely up to the standard for carrying my Elephant Turning Technique."

Having said that, Nagato formed a seal with his hands without hesitation, and the light in his samsara eyes seemed to become deeper, revealing a strange and dark light.

"ah!"

Painful sounds wailed from the mouths of the two Alliance ninjas, causing them to struggle to wake up from their drowsiness.

Unfortunately, the two people's sanity only lasted for a moment before they were deprived of it. Their pupils lost their light and their twitching movements stopped.

Nagato put down his hands with seals, and the two people who were sleeping on the ground stood up.

The red cloud coat with a black background, long red hair, the bangs covering the right eye, and the exposed left pupil shine with the same light as the Samsara Eye, and exude an aura that is extremely heart-stopping.

As the technique ended, Nagato let out a breath, and his eyes fell on the two clones who were reincarnated as living people. Not only did they look the same as him, but they also perfectly inherited the power of the reincarnation eye.

"Go ahead."

Without saying anything more, Nagato just slowly said these two words.

Tiandao, who was standing silently on the side, suddenly opened his eyes, and the two Xiangzhuan clones disappeared from the place in an instant, as if they had never existed.
