Escape From Konoha Chapter 753

  Chapter 753 Concerns

"What's this?"

   Onoki, who was sitting in Yanyin, also got information from the Land of Rain in the first place.

  A large number of white humanoid soldiers, huge monsters similar to carnivorous lizards, these things are printed on the photo, and the picture can be said to be lifelike.

  Even Ohnoki was stunned by the things in the photos.

  According to the intelligence of the search troops stationed in the Land of Rain, the number of humanoid soldiers facing Iwagakure alone has reached tens of thousands, and there are several giant beasts, which are approaching the border of the Land of Earth.

   "According to the information obtained before, these humanoid soldiers seem to be called Baijue. As for these giant beasts, they are still under investigation. From the eyes of the giant beasts that have turned into reincarnation eyes, it is not difficult to see that these giant beasts are controlled by humans. Based on the intuitive experience of the personnel on site, each giant beast has exactly the same destructive power as the large psychic beasts. And this is only for the part of Yan Yin. The information exchanged from the villages of Konoha and Sand Yin has also received similar 'treatment'."

  Huang Tu, who reported the matter to Onogi Lianye, had a solemn tone.

   "That is to say, the Kingdom of Rain now has at least tens of thousands of artificial soldiers, right? There are also these giant beast legions that are indistinguishable from large psychic beasts?"

  Onoki confirmed to Huang Tu again, and from his frowning, it could be seen that he was not at peace.

   "Yes. In addition, Konoha seems to have been attacked by members of the "Akatsuki" organization they mentioned in the intelligence, and the attacker is a corpse doll made of ninjas such as Sanshoyu Hanzo—Penn, who is the apparent leader of Ugashi, and is secretly controlled by a person named Nagato."

   "I really underestimated Yuyin... Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to the conditions of the ghost country, and joined with Yunyin to put pressure on Konoha, which led to the restoration of the rain country's independence."

  Onoki sighed, honestly, it is impossible for him to have no regrets in his heart now.

  The War of Independence of the Land of Rain is the key to freedom. In order to escape the control of the Land of Fire and Konoha, the Kingdom of Demons intervened in the war at that time, and used the distrust relationship between countries to provoke the internal struggle of the five major countries at that time.

  Unfortunately, there is no such if.

   At that time, the relationship between the major powers was tense and fierce. A little carelessness may continue the third Ninja World War.

  In that situation, there is no other way but to fight on their own and secretly calculate other countries. They will not start to cooperate and form an alliance of interests with each other in order to deal with the ghost country as they are now.

  The Kingdom of Rain was disturbed by the Kingdom of Ghosts at the time, and independence was an inevitable result.

   "Tens of thousands of man-made soldiers, and this huge army of behemoths, plus the number of head-tailed beasts in the opponent's hands... This organization, and Yuyin, are no longer a difficult existence that can be solved by a single village. Huangtu, send envoys to send invitations to the shadows of each village. It's time to hold the third Five Kages Conference."

  Onoki shook his head. The situation in the Land of Rain has already surpassed the control of these big countries. Akatsuki, or Yuyin has such a huge power, he will never be willing to be a small person. What's more, they also took away the tailed beasts from various villages, which was an irreconcilable contradiction.

  The rise of the Kingdom of Ghosts has already caused great headaches for these traditional powers. If the Kingdom of Rain also emerges like the Kingdom of Ghosts, it will rise on the basis of snatching the Ninja Village Tail Beast from the big country... Therefore, no matter what, the development of the Kingdom of Rain must be curbed, otherwise Iwan Yin will have no peace of mind.

  I believe that Sand Yin and Konoha will make corresponding arrangements and will never let this kind of thing happen.

   "Yes. Speaking of which, do you need to send an invitation letter to the kingdom of ghosts?"

  Huang Tu remembered something and asked.

  As the most influential country in the ninja world today, its domestic military organization is named the military, instead of forming a ninja village and enclosing autonomy like other big countries.

  As for Chiba Shiraishi, the Minister of Military Affairs who leads the Oni Country's military, in terms of status and influence, he is not weaker than the Five Kages in the slightest.

  If the Kingdom of Ghosts can also successfully join in, participate in the Five Kages talks, and then receive military assistance from the other party, then the confidence in dealing with Yuyin will undoubtedly be greater.

   "...Let's send them over together. Now is not the time to confront the Demon Kingdom. The most important thing is to block and recapture the Tailed Beast and eliminate this Akatsuki organization."

  Onoki closed his eyes, thought for a while, then opened his eyes, a sharp light shot out from his cloudy eyes, and ordered Huang Tu.

  Even if he intends to exclude the Oni Nation, but considering the terrifying influence of the Oni Nation today, if the Five Kages Conference excludes it, more incidents will likely occur, resulting in the failure of the Five Kages Conference to be held smoothly.

  The Five Kages Conference, since the establishment of the One Country One Village era, has taken place twice in total.

   For the first time, Konoha's first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, was the main initiator to discuss the balance of the countries and divide the tailed beasts.

  The second time was Sha Yin as the initiator, aiming at the kingdom of ghosts, but it ended in failure. The countries also acquiesced in the existence of the kingdom of ghosts until the tiger became a threat.

  As for the upcoming third meeting, Ohnoki has already thought about the purpose and tone of the event in advance, to curb the Land of Rain, recapture the snatched Tailed Beast, and destroy the Akatsuki Organization.

  Huang Tu nodded, respectfully exited the office, and organized envoys to send invitations to the five shadows conference to the villages and the land of ghosts.

  A large number of Baijue soldiers appeared in the Land of Rain, as well as an astonishing number of behemoth legions. The countries that got accurate information, starting with the big country tail beasts, naturally began to pay attention immediately.

  For a while, the Country of Rain and the surrounding countries began to become jittery, and began strict military mobilization to strictly defend the border.

   Such a tense atmosphere until Konoha was attacked, causing the conflict between Konoha and Uinaka to be on the verge of breaking out, making the situation suddenly more confusing. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Kingdom of Fire and Konoha, without accident, will launch retaliatory military operations against Yuyin in the future.

  The outbreak of such a contradiction is likely to evolve into a new fuse of war.

  September 22nd.

  Nagato controls Payne to attack Konoha on the second day.

  The ninjas injured in the battle have been fully taken over by the medical team, giving priority to the treatment of the seriously injured. Although some of the seriously injured died during the operation, most of the seriously injured were saved by Konoha Medical Ninja's superb medical technology.

  In addition, thanks to the more advanced prosthetic technology in today's era, even disabled ninjas with severed limbs can continue to maintain their ninja status as long as they are replaced with prosthetics. Such military prosthetics that can conduct chakra benignly, although the price is very expensive, Konoha is not stingy with this aspect of expenses.

   In addition, there are also pensions for the families of ninjas who died in this battle. A total of more than a thousand ninjas died in this battle. The departure of these people not only means that the relevant families will lose their reliable support, but also a heavy blow to Konoha as a whole.

  In the end, countless buildings were damaged and destroyed. The center of Konoha was gouged out by the enemy's attack, and a huge meteorite crater appeared. It is shocking at a glance.

   Not only because of this huge crater, it will affect the normal operation of Konoha. In the crater, there are crushed human bodies everywhere, and the flesh and blood are completely squeezed into the soil. It is also a huge challenge for the ninjas of the corpse collection team.

   In a word, this is the first time that the body collection troops that have restrained countless corpses have seen such a tragic situation. Many new workers vomited out on the spot.

  Standing on the edge of the deep pit, Tsunade smelled the **** smell that hadn't dissipated in the air, while looking at the countless crushed and incomplete body parts in the deep pit, he also frowned.

   Even Tsunade, who has experienced countless fierce battles, is slightly uncomfortable with such a scene.

   It's just that as Hokage, you can't show cowardice here. You must maintain a majestic character design to make the Konoha ninjas around you feel at ease.

   "...The above is all the losses suffered by the village in this attack. Although the opponent's action of getting involved in Naruto's Nine Tails was successfully prevented, the losses suffered by the village were relatively heavy."

   Lu Jiu beside him began to report.

   Leaving aside the rest of the losses, just the casualties of nearly 3,000 ninjas is a headache.

   "Lu Jiu, you should know the news from the Land of Rain, right?"

   Tsunade looked at the Konoha ninja who was collecting the corpse in the deep pit, and did not answer the question.

  Lu Jiu nodded, and took out a stack of photos, which showed a shocking scene of Bai Jue and the giant beast army marching in the rainstorm.

   Rao was Lu Jiu, who couldn't help being stunned when he saw such news, and then cold sweat broke out on his forehead, knowing that things were completely out of control.

   The estimation of the strength of the Xiao organization was seriously wrong.

  The power possessed by this organization is more terrifying than expected.

  Knowing this news, Konoha hurriedly mobilized troops to reinforce the western border of the Land of Fire before dawn, and at the same time issued an order to withdraw all search troops in the Land of Rain.

  If it wasn't for Bai Jue and the giant beast army who just approached the territory of the big country, and then stationed in place without showing a strong desire to attack, the war might have broken out in the early morning.

  No matter how many times Lu Jiu looked at the photo of Bai Jue and the army of giant beasts, he still felt a dreamy sense of confusion.

  Thinking about it, I can't figure out how such a huge number of soldiers were produced, and so many soldiers can be produced at once. For a big country, this is no less than an earthquake sweeping the country, and the upper echelons also attach great importance to it.

  Although the investigation on the bright side of the Kingdom of Rain has been temporarily suspended, the vigilance in the dark has never been eliminated. Rather, this kind of spying will intensify in the future.

   "We can't let the Akatsuki organization continue to act like this. The opponent's momentum has already been established. The opponent has shown such power in the country of rain and has already made it clear to us that they will not accept any form of compromise, nor will they hand over the tailed beasts that have already been obtained. And all of us ninjas will then undergo an unprecedented difficult test. If Konoha cannot survive such turmoil..."

   Tsunade's eyes were gloomy, and his face was a little more melancholy and heavy.

  Although he didn't say it clearly, Lu Jiu understood the result of not being able to pass.

   "Master Hokage means..."

   "Let's convene the Five Kages Conference to resolve this matter. This is not a problem that can be solved by just one village. The Fifth Ninja World War is coming..."

   “…I see, I will arrange accordingly.”

  Lu Jiu nodded silently after listening.

  It is undoubtedly the worst situation when things have developed to this point.

   It is inevitable to hold the Five Shadows Conference.

  The country of water.

  The three of Shiraishi stopped in an open field. After a whole day of searching, the three of them basically searched all the suspicious places in the country of water, but they still didn't find any trace of Nagato, nor could they perceive Yagura's chakra.

  Either the opponent died, or the opponent was taken away from the kingdom of water.

  The latter is the most likely. After all, when Yakura dies, the three tails in his body will also die together, which will cause trouble for Nagato's purpose.

   "Stop, Yagura has probably been taken away from the Water Country now, and if you search here again, there will be no results."

  Shiraishi stopped Liuli and Ayane so they didn't have to continue their search.

  Whether it is the sea area or the land of the Kingdom of Water, they have been searched. At least from the outside, Nagato is no longer in the Kingdom of Water.

  As for the sky, the air force, which was also hidden by the fog, conducted a detailed investigation, and there was no reliable news from there, so the result can be imagined.

   "Oh, that is to say, Sanwei and Liuwei will fall into Akatsuki's hands. Isn't this the worst situation?"

  Ayane directly stated this stinging fact.

   "It's not the worst, but the next situation will indeed become very difficult for us. Fortunately, our alliance with Kirigakure has not been exposed, so there are still cards to turn the situation around."

  Shiraishi no longer has any hope of rescuing Yakura. Compared with this, the planning process needs to be slightly adjusted.

   "Without Yakura as a contact, will Kirigakure really reach an alliance with us? You know, the power of the two sides of the alliance is completely out of balance."

   Ayane thought maliciously.

  Although Godai Mizukage Terumimei also agrees with the cooperative relationship with Oni no Kuni, but in comparison, Yakura, who was the original collaborator, can make them feel more at ease.

  So, at this time, Ayane will inevitably have doubts about Kirigakure's next steps.

   It's not surprising that she thinks this way, the betrayal and calculation between the allies will always be indispensable. Even though the Oni Country and Kirigakure are still in the honeymoon period of their alliance, no one knows that such a relationship will last forever.

  The kingdom of ghosts is too powerful, even if it is only a collaborator, it will feel fearful of it.

  Especially in the case of losing one Gokage and two tailed beasts, does Kirigakure's Godaime Mizukage still have the guts to cooperate with Oni Nation?

   In her heart, is she afraid of being swallowed by the ghost kingdom after cooperating?

   After all, when the power gap is too large, and one party can absolutely crush the other, such cooperation is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.

  That Fifth Mizukage, will he really feel at ease as before, and leave his back to the kingdom of ghosts? For this question, Ayane needs to put a question mark.

  Even if the Oni Country doesn't think so, how Kirigakure, who is on the weak side, will change his mind is an unknown to the Oni Country. And such unknowns are a potential hidden danger to the kingdom of ghosts.

   "Then, do I need to use Sharingan to control that Mizukage?"

  Ruri holds the same idea as Ayane, and it is normal for allies to betray and be betrayed.

  Since this ally is no longer stable for the Kingdom of Ghosts, in order to re-stabilize such an alliance, Liuli doesn't mind using some means to re-stabilize this relationship.

   "Not to that extent. In any case, Kirigakure is our ally, no matter weak or strong. Kirigakure needs us, and we also need Kirigakure. This is an unchangeable fact."

   Not to mention destroying the established trust relationship, once it is exposed, the ghost country will undoubtedly be isolated, and those small countries that have come to seek refuge will most likely have concerns. The road to building trust is very difficult, and destroying such a relationship...often only takes a moment.

  In the long run, it will be harmful to the ghost kingdom.

   "Besides, as long as the worries in her heart disappear, it is not difficult for me."

  Hearing Shiraishi's remarks, Liuli and Ayane had no choice but to temporarily suppress their thoughts.

   "Let's go, since the accident on Yagura's side is irreversible, let's discuss the next arrangement with that Mizukage, we don't have much time to prepare."

   Shiraishi greeted, and returned by the same route, Ruri and Ayane also followed in his footsteps to meet Terumi Mei.

   "The third generation, the elder Yuanshi."

  When almost all the Kirigakure ninjas were dispatched to search for the whereabouts of Yakura and Rokuyu Jinchuryutaka, Terumi Mei, the Fifth Mizukage, was conducting remote command from Kirigakure and did not directly participate in the search operation.

   And after dealing with all the things at hand, he came to a secluded place in Wuyin Village alone.

   Not to mention Ao's cronies, Jonin, and even Anbe did not follow.

  In a rather simple two-story solitary villa building, Mizukage Mizukage, who had retired sixteen years ago, and the elder Genshi, who had retired to the second line, were sitting on the couch playing chess.

  In the middle of the chess game, Terumi Mei pushed the door and entered, came as an uninvited guest, interrupted the chess game between the two, and bowed slightly to the two.

  Compared to the past, the two have more wrinkles on their faces, especially Yuan Shi, who has lived from the Warring States Period to the present, is even more unbelievably old. The chess pieces in his hands have begun to visibly tremble, as if they might fall from his fingers at any time.

  He was a ninja of the same era as the first five shadows, and now he is no longer in charge of Kirigakure affairs, but handed over to her to handle everything.

  The greatest joy now is probably playing chess and chatting with Mizukage III, who is also retired, recalling the past, and then waiting for the day when he dies.

   "We have heard about the arrest of Yagura and Yu Gao, but even if you regard us as advisors, we two old people have no energy to take care of the heavy affairs of Wuyin Village. Now is the time for you young people."

   It was Mizukage Mizukage who spoke.

  Yakura was forced to step down at the beginning, although he still has a grudge against Yakura, a rising star, but in view of the face of the other party who has worked so hard for Kirigakure, these years have passed, and he has never made trouble for Yakura, allowing Kirigakure to peacefully transition to the Five Dynasties Mizukage period.

   It's just that he and Master Yuan have already retired, and all the power in their hands has been handed over. In addition, they are old, even if they want to do something, they are powerless.

  Terumi Mei's sudden visit, he and Yuan Shi naturally knew the purpose of his visit, but this era no longer belongs to them.

   "The matter of the fourth generation and Yu Taka is indeed a bit tricky. I have already prepared for the worst. However, I am more worried about other things than this matter."

   Terumi Mei's face remained unchanged.

  Of course he understands that after so long, he has not been able to grasp the whereabouts of the enemy, which means that the chance of retaking Yagura and Yu Gao is very slim.

   Seeing the two still unmoved, Terumi Mei continued to speak in a calm tone:

   "The two of you don't know that as early as the Third Ninja World War, the fourth generation secretly received the support of Chiba Shiraishi, the kingdom of ghosts, and established a very reliable ally relationship with him."

  Hearing these words, Sandai Mizukage and Genshi stopped playing chess at the same time, and a sharp gaze suddenly shot out from the muddy eyesight, and swept towards Terumi Mei.

   Terumi Mei ignored the pressure and seemed extremely calm.

  No matter how powerful the two of them were ninjas in the past, they cannot resist the erosion of time, this is the reality.

   "The Kingdom of Demons..."

  Master Yuan's voice was hoarse and trembling, because he was old, and even had problems with his vocal cords.

   "Really? The old man thought that Yagura had played big enough at the beginning, but I didn't expect him to be crazier than he imagined... No wonder Yagura was defeated in that way in the previous war, and was ridiculed by others. Some riots in the country of water in recent years are not caused by the country of ghosts, but Yakura is playing tricks."

  Third Mizukage seemed to understand something in an instant. Although it was a doubt, he was very sure of his guess.

   Some things that I didn't understand, now I suddenly realized everything like a enlightenment.

   "Yes, that is the plan we launched together with the Oni Nation, in order to subvert the era of one country, one village established by the first generation of Hokage. Once the plan is successful, Kirigakure will get the entire Water Country, and... more land and population, pushing Kirigakure to a new peak."

   Terumi Mei spoke the shocking truth in calm words.

  The era of one country, one village has a long history, and it has won the support of most countries, especially the big countries headed by the country of fire and the country of thunder, which are even more admirable.

  Kigakure, who relies on the existence of the country of water, is also one of the beneficiaries. Generally speaking, there is no need for Kirigakure to harm his own interests and become the target of public criticism.

if so…

  Third Generation Mizukage's face became complicated, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes.

   "Blood mist..."

  That was the darkest and bloodiest era of Kirigakure.

   Caused by his misguided policies.

  The most fundamental reason is that in the peaceful era, the Daimyo Prefecture of the Water Country does not need Kirigakure Village to train too many ninjas, so military expenditures have been reduced year after year, causing Kirigakure to develop stagnantly, and even began to regress.

  Being forced to do nothing, he could only adopt an elite strategy, but when such an elite strategy was implemented, it resulted in a serious result completely different from what he had imagined—blood fog.

  Countless outstanding ninjas began to kill each other, and cultivated ninjas by raising Gu. Although to a certain extent, while reducing the number of ninjas, it improved the fighting ability of Kirigakure ninjas, but it also caused the entire Kirigakure to fall into the abyss.

  Especially the Water Country Daming Mansion took this opportunity to secretly collude with the members of the Blood Mist faction of Kirigakure in an attempt to gain control of Kirigakure's power, which pushed Kirigakure to a dead end.

   Such an unbearable past event, as if it was yesterday, is vividly remembered, and the memory is extremely clear in the mind of Mizukage Mizukage, and it will last for a long time.

   Terumi Mei didn't answer, but her attitude has already acquiesced, she is supporting Yakura's faction.

  From the moment the Daimyo Prefecture of the Country of Water got involved in the power of Kirigakure, the so-called era of one country and one village has already met with strong hostility from Yakura, and he deeply hates the core executives of the Country of Water.

   And she is also an experiencer of the age of blood mist, and her hatred and murderous intentions for the Daming Mansion of the Land of Water are not weaker than Yagura.

   "So... Fifth Generation, are you afraid of cooperating with the ghost country?"

  Interrupted the communication between Terumi Mei and Mizukage Mizukage, Genshi's trembling and hoarse voice came, although a little lack of energy, but it hit the point directly, hitting Terumi Mei's weakness.

   Terumi Mei met Yuanshi's cloudy eyes and nodded.

   "I don't know if the next plan will be carried out together with the Oni Nation. To be honest, if the fourth generation is captured, not only will it be as simple as losing the tailed beast, but the connection with the Oni Nation will also be weakened, which will cause many changes."

   Compared with her latecomer, Yakura, who was the original collaborator, is more worthy of the trust of the ghost country.

   Moreover, because the strength of both sides is too great now, Terumi Mei is also very worried that if the Oni Country succeeds, it will be detrimental to Kirigakure.

   This made Terumi Mei feel in a dilemma.

  She has too many things to consider, and this choice is related to the survival of Wu Yin, she cannot make the decision alone.

   "It's so ugly, Terumi Mei, as Kirigakure's Mizukage, hesitated at such a critical moment! I ask you, if you say you want to quit now, where can Kirigakure go?"

  Third Mizukage suddenly reprimanded loudly.

   Negotiations with the Kingdom of Ghosts are so deep, as the internal response of the Kingdom of Ghosts to break into the traditional five major countries, if you give up at this time, it is not a rush to retreat, but a dead end, and the fog will never be restored.

  Because of doing so, not only will the Oni Nation be offended to death, but after the relationship is made public, what Kirigakure did with the Oni Nation in the past will also be exposed.

  At that time, Kirigakure will not be far from destruction.

  Three Mizukage's words of reprimand made Terumi Mei wake up in an instant, and her face was filled with shame.

   "There is no turning back for Kirigakure who has come this far. Moreover, if the Oni Nation pays enough attention to Kirigakure, they will probably take measures to eliminate your worries. After all, your plan is too huge. Not only you, but also the high-level officials of the Oni Nation will have the same concerns. Wait patiently."

  Sandai Mizukage snorted softly, very dissatisfied with Terumi Mei's behavior of worrying about gains and losses.

  If at the beginning of cooperation, there is room for rebellion.

  But to cooperate to such an extent, if you want to betray, the price will inevitably be heavy enough to destroy the entire Wuyin.

   "Your Excellency Mizukage of the third generation is right. At this point, we have no other choice but to continue to cooperate."

  At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind.
