Chapter 308 Situation

In the deep bamboo forest, there is silence, and it is almost impossible to feel the breath of wild animals.

The surrounding area was severely damaged, the land within a range of hundreds of meters was rolled up, and countless bamboos fell down, mixing with the reddish-brown soil.

There are tragic traces of destruction everywhere, as well as the damp breath washed away by the flood.

"Hoo..."

He took a long breath from his mouth, and the expression on his face looked very tired.

On the ground, lay a seriously wounded ninja. He was wearing a bright red armor that was different from ordinary ninjas, covering even half of his face.

He has completely passed out at this moment, and more than half of the bright red armor on his body has been damaged. The chakra in his body has bottomed out, and he has completely lost the ability to resist.

Kisame continued to pant, picked up the big sword shark muscle with a tired face, and put the shark muscle behind his back.

Squatting on the ground, grasping the back collar of the bright red armored ninja with the palm of his hand, dragging the ninja's body in the lightest way.

came to the outside of the bamboo forest, a dozen Yanyin ninjas fell on the ground, and none of them survived.

A young man wearing a red cloud coat with a black background stood in the center of the corpse, his eyes gleamed with scarlet light, and the Sangouyu Sharingan was very conspicuously lit in the dark environment.

He looked at the corpse of Iwanin on the ground expressionlessly, and when he heard footsteps behind him, he turned around and saw Kisame dragging a ninja over.

A ninja in Yanyin, and the current Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Yanyin Village.

In the ninja world, known as the 'Steam Ninja', he is good at using Boiling Dun and Fire Dun.

Ghost Shark's black-bottomed red cloud coat was mostly torn, with serious burn marks.

"It seems to be resolved."

Itachi said calmly.

"Don't say it so lightly, this guy is not an easy opponent to deal with. Fortunately, he was dealt with before he turned into a tailed beast, otherwise you will need to come and help."

Kisame grinned with sharp teeth.

Judging from his tone, it seems that winning is not very easy.

"In the organization, there is no one more suitable than you for dealing with Jinchuriki. For you, it is very easy to solve the battle before Jinchuriki turns into a beast."

Itachi looked at the big sword Sharkus behind Kisame, this is a very terrifying weapon.

That knife can swallow all the tailed beast chakra that Jinzhuriki manifested in an instant, making Renzhuriki fall into a weak state.

As long as it is not a perfect body, the combat power of Jinzhuli will be greatly weakened in front of Kisame.

This is probably the reason why Akatsuki wanted to take him in.

Kisame's various abilities are very restrained by Jinzhu Riki.

Sure enough, everyone here is not a simple ninja. Itachi thought to himself.

"Maybe."

Kisame walked to the side of the rock and sat down, threw the body of Iwanin Han towards the side at will, and rested on his own.

It's not a question of lack of Chakra. Among Akatsuki, his Chakra amount is one of the best, comparable to Tailed Beast.

It was just a big battle. He now feels that his mental and physical strength is exhausted and he needs to recover.

Right at this moment, the soil shook slightly, and a black and white mob popped out of the soil.

"Thank you for your hard work, the capture of the five tails has been smoother than expected."

Bai Jue said with a grin.

Kisame snorted softly, and answered dissatisfied: "Don't say it's so easy, it's not you who are going to deal with Jinchuriki. In this way, my goal is also fulfilled. I don't need to catch the next Jinjuriki."

Kisame looked at Itachi intentionally or unintentionally.

According to regulations, everyone in the organization needs to capture a tailed beast.

His task indicators have been completed, and he can take a long time to relax. He only needs to pick up the rest of the tasks occasionally.

The task of capturing Renzhuli is really tiring, and the battle is also very dangerous. If he is not careful, he will die here too.

"Of course. The successful capture of the five tails this time can be said to be a good start for the organization. This is something to be happy about."

Heijue's deep voice sounded, but it was hard to hide a trace of excitement.

"It was indeed a wise move to recruit you in the first place. If there are talents like you, it would be nice to have a few more."

Bai Jue smiled greedily.

Moreover, it was many white masters who discovered the talent of Kisame.

Bai Jue felt even more proud. As expected, he was Xiao's number one hero.

If there are more spies like me, the Akatsuki organization will not have to continue to operate... Guixiu is a little speechless.

However, it is good news that my ability is relied on by the organization.

He also kept his mission in mind. In the past few years, as long as Akatsuki did not take action against Kirigakure, he didn't need to pass information to the village, just be a traitorous ninja honestly.

Because this is an extremely important period of gaining trust, you must serve the organization with due diligence and loyalty, so that you can be trusted by Akatsuki's leader.

Thinking of the leader, a trace of solemnity flashed in Guijiao's eyes.

When he joined Akatsuki, he fought with the leader for the reason of sparring.

But that time... I didn't learn anything useful at all. Even if you know that the opponent will use gravity to bounce or pull the enemy away with yourself as the center, the force is really too fierce.

Even in the face of gravity's bounce and pulling force, he has to fight with all his strength.

"The next step is to prepare for the sealing of Wuwei. There is a hidden base provided by Beiliuhu nearby, where the sealing ceremony will be held. Come with us."

Heijue said.

"Can't you let me rest for a while? That's enough."

Kisame complained, but still stood up from the rock, dragged the body of Iwanin Han, and followed it with Itachi to the hidden base in the nearby area.

"correct."

Heijue spoke suddenly again at this moment, turned his head and glanced at Itachi.

"What's wrong?"

Itachi asked blankly.

Heijue paused for a moment and said, "The war in the Kingdom of Wind is over."

After listening to Itachi, his face remained calm, but his heart tightened.

According to Akatsuki Baijue's investigation, the Sand Hidden Troop in the Land of Wind also hides a Konoha Troop, and Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, leads the troop.

Staring at Hei Jue's face, nothing can be seen from his dark face.

"Sugashi was defeated, Kazekage Rasa was hit psychologically, and Konoha supported Sagashi's elite team, more than half of the army was wiped out, including the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law of the third Hokage, and Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, was also captured. Moreover, the ninjas in the kingdom of ghosts are said to have less than 200 casualties, but Sagashi lost 3,700 ninjas. What a tragic end."

Heijue said so.

"This is really an unexpected surprise, I didn't expect such a result, right, Itachi?"

Kisame was surprised, tilted his head and smiled at Itachi.

"boring."

Itachi closed his eyes and said indifferently.

The head and deputy head of Anbu were killed, and one of the three ninjas was captured. Itachi couldn't imagine how weak Konoha's interior would be at this moment.

This is really bad news that couldn't be worse.

Bai Jue chattered and laughed: "Xiaohei and I went to the scene to observe. Chiba Shiraishi and Uchiha Ruri are really monster-like guys. More than 3,000 sand ninjas, most of them died at the hands of them. If there is not a eight-door Dunjia ninja appearing in the middle, it is estimated that Chiba Shiraishi does not need to do it. Uchiha Ruri's Susano alone can suppress 3,000 sand ninjas including Kazekage."

Heijue replied again: "Almost. However, Chiba Shiraishi has the ability to replenish chakra. I didn't use it this time. Even if I wiped out more than 3,000 sand ninjas, it is not their upper limit of strength. If you encounter them in the future, try to be careful, even though it is useless."

Hei never thought that these team members would be able to deal with such monsters if they got the information.

Some ninjas, even if they know their weaknesses, still can't beat them.

Just to increase the chances of these people escaping.

After all, it is quite difficult to find so many capable ninjas, which will delay the progress of sealing the tailed beast.

In the office.

"Five Kages Conference... It seems that Sa Yin wants to use the influence of the five major powers to put pressure on us diplomatically."

The convening of the Five Kages Conference is already under preparation, and the location of the conference is the country of neutral national railways.

is a country located at the northern end of Ninja World Road. It is different from the priestess culture of the country of ghosts. It is a country that worships warriors and has a harsh climate. Like the country of snow, it is a cold country that is buried in winter snow all year round.

An independent country, independent jurisdiction, independent culture, the Iron Country is such a country.

The strength of the warriors under its command is also a relatively powerful force under the five great powers.

The fact that the location of the Five Kages Conference this time is also due to the recognition of the strength of the Iron Kingdom.

Baishi thought so in his heart.

"It seems that you haven't given them enough suffering. If you want me to say, you should have thrown the fire elf directly over the hidden sand village before. It's more effective than anything else."

Sitting on the sofa, taking a sip of tea lightly, Ayane laughed like this.

"It's not just ninjas who die that way, more of the dead are civilians."

Shiraishi shook his head.

The ninja villages of the five major countries were all established in the way of mixed military and civilian living.

This means that if one wants to attack Ninja Village, countless civilians will inevitably be involved.

Besides, even without these civilians, he has no plans to uproot the Hidden Sand Village at such a time.

Because doing that would only trigger the Fourth Ninja World War. Under the circumstances of insufficient preparation, doing so would undoubtedly lead to death.

"So, what should we do now? After all, we still have the identity of rebellious ninja. If Konoha doesn't take back the wanted document of rebellious ninja, we can't overwhelm each other in righteousness."

First of all, he is not standing upright. At this point, he can no longer act with dangerous thinking of rebellion.

In any case, the superficial skills must be done to look a little better.

"The Five Kages Conference will be held in the Iron Country in five days. Although the time is relatively tight, it is not a big problem to work with Konoha in secret."

Shiraishi said.

"How does it work? I don't think they will compromise with us so easily."

Ayane raised her eyebrows.

"Oh, now Konoha's internal power system is torn apart, and the root has formed a trend that cannot be lost, gradually eroding the power inside Konoha. Even the Hyuga clan has secretly contacted the root. That Hokage-sama is more troublesome than expected for the root. With this incident, do you think he still has a choice?"

Shiraishi smiled and said.

The third generation of Hokage is over sixty years old, and his health is not as good as every year. It is time to think about the funeral and the heir. This is the first thing Sandai Hokage has to consider.

As for the election of the Fifth Hokage, Orochimaru has defected, and now it will only be produced on two people.

The other two of Sannin are Jiraiya and Tsunade.

The problem is that Jiraiya is now in the hands of the ghost country, and he is strictly guarding him by the high-level masters he sent from the Uzumaki clan and the Hyuga clan.

And used multiple sealing techniques to weaken his strength to the level of ordinary people.

Don't talk about rescue, but only bring in the rescuer.

Ayane suddenly came over.

"I see. Is that why you didn't kill Jiraiya? To make a deal with Konoha?"

"For Konoha, the value of Jiraiya's life is even greater. No matter how hostile the Third Hokage is to us, he can't ignore Jiraiya's safety. Having no successor is the greatest sorrow of a ninja village leader, and it will also lead to the collapse of a village."

Shiraishi replied like this.

"I thought Kakashi would become the fifth Hokage."

Ayane muttered.

"No, although Kakashi has the ability, he also has the time... But the matter of Sakumo-sensei has always been a thorn in the heart of the high-level. Even if Kakashi doesn't care, the high-level Konoha has to carefully consider these factors."

Although Shiraishi has considered this kind of thing, it is still unrealistic after thinking about it. Kakashi has strength, but his reputation is still insufficient. Although he has gained a firm foothold in Anbu, he is not really a core figure in the final analysis.

"And it's not just that, Ruri will go to Konoha to receive the inheritance of the Uchiha clan in the future. Konoha will definitely not agree to it, and it is difficult for us to use force to coerce Konoha. As a condition for releasing Jiraiya and other Konoha jonin captives, Konoha needs to pay us two prices. One is to remove the arrest warrant on us, otherwise we will be very passive at the Five Kages Conference. The other is to take back the inheritance of the Uchiha clan, and Konoha must not interfere."

Shiraishi mentioned the two prices Konoha paid.

"I always feel that they won't agree easily."

In any case, these two costs are more expensive than the other.

"The martial arts faction headed by Genbu will naturally not agree easily, but...Three Hokage will definitely agree, because he urgently needs a successor now. If he doesn't save Jiraiya, he will not only lose his successor, Tsunade may also no longer trust him. In this way, Danzo's authority in Konoha will become greater and greater, until the power of Hokage is overthrown."

The Third Hokage had no choice.

Even if he killed his son and daughter-in-law, he had to do it for Konoha.

As for the dispute with the roots, that is Konoha's own business, and has nothing to do with the kingdom of ghosts.

"Speaking of which, there are still a group of young children in the Uchiha clan who are still alive. When I came back to garrison before, I discovered that a group of Uchiha children who escaped the tragic fate of the genocide were quietly arranged in the base. Did you or Liuli do it secretly?"

Ayane asked.

When Baishi heard this, he sighed helplessly, and said, "Unfortunately, neither."

"Eh? I thought you and Liuli arranged it secretly."

"Liuli cut off contact with the Konoha Uchiha clan very early on. When the genocide incident happened, everything was too sudden and there was no time to take action. Kakashi also couldn't get much information, because the task of monitoring the Uchiha clan was handed over to the root of Danzo. Kakashi's identity is not suitable for actively participating in such a sensitive matter. As for the Uchiha Itachi genocide... the reason behind it is very worth thinking about."

Baishi pondered for a moment.

Because there are too many unreasonable places in it.

How could a thirteen-year-old child do such a thing overnight?

And according to Kakashi's follow-up report, Uchiha was brutally exterminated and was discovered in the early morning of the next day... This is really strange.

If Konoha Anbe had been so lazy, the interior would have been captured by the enemy long ago.

There are a lot of things in it, I think about it carefully.

Danzo's root, even Akatsuki is manipulating something behind the scenes... Itachi Uchiha is more likely to be just a **** to perform this task.

Such a meticulous action to annihilate the Uchiha clan was definitely not conceived by chance, but was prepared a long time ago.

"So, what brought those little kids back was..."

Ayane narrowed her eyes.

Undoubtedly, it was possible to issue such an order to the spies remaining in Konoha in the name of the Oni Nation's military, and they even knew about the internal problems of the Uchiha clan earlier than they did, so that they were able to send these children out on the night of the genocide. The people who do this behind the scenes have a very small lock-in range.

You can tell who is doing it even with your eyes closed.

"Let Liuli investigate this matter by herself. She is currently arranging those children of Konoha Uchiha. I believe she must have guessed something in her heart, so we don't have to worry about it."

No matter how much this kind of matter is investigated, it will only point in one direction in the end. Baishi thinks it is safer to let Liuli handle it.

Ayane nodded, but did not pursue further.

"Then I'll go over and prepare and participate in the pre-conference work of the Five Kages Conference."

Escort arrangements, including travel issues, need to be prepared in advance.

And you can't put your hopes on Konoha completely, you have to be prepared for the worst.

"Please, by the way, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, don't give the Kingdom of the Wind a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, try to be as tough as possible, and show a firm attitude that you will not give up until you achieve your goal."

Obtaining the northwestern region of the Kingdom of Wind is naturally impossible, and Hidden Sand Village will not give up easily.

Now that it is using force, Sayin dare not act rashly and shift the battlefield to the negotiating table.

If it still cannot be properly resolved at the negotiating table, then the Kingdom of Ghosts must prepare for a second war with Sha Yin.

A lounge in the hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

Ebino heard the sound of the door opening, and looked towards the door. His sister Chiyo appeared at the door, and walked in frowning.

"How is it, sister, is Luo Sha's situation still not getting better?"

Since the defeat on the frontline battlefield, Hidden Sand Village has lost the initiative in the war. The casualties of nearly 5,000 people were only exchanged for casualties of 200 people from the enemy. The gap is nearly 25 times. It is hard to believe that this is a record that Hidden Sand Village can achieve.

In the past against Konoha, the gap in battle losses would not be so unbalanced.

As for the ones who really fought with Sahid, there were only two people. If this was used as an excuse to shirk responsibility, Sahid would appear even more ashamed.

Being forced to such a degree by two ninjas is the first time in the history of Sha Yin.

"The ear deafness problem has been cured, but the brain still suffered a huge shock. The attending medical ninja said that it will take a while to recover."

Chiyo sighed, tiredness appeared on his old face.

After the third Ninja World War ended, he and his younger brother Ebizo, due to their advanced age, decided on candidates for the fourth generation of Kazekage. After completing the handover work, they immediately retired and handed over the future of Sand Hidden Village to the more energetic young people of Sand Hidden Village.

I just didn't expect that Luo Sha gave them such a big 'surprise' this time.

The war has only been fought for a month, and thousands of sand ninjas have died. The vitality recovered after the third ninja world war suddenly fell to the bottom again.

The worst thing is that the target of this loss is not a big country, but a small country.

This is where it gets tricky.

Although she desperately wanted to lead troops immediately to kill all potential threats, considering the consequences of doing so, Chiyo calmed down and thought.

The significance of impulsiveness is not great, but because of recklessness, one will fall into the enemy's trap.

Just like Luo Sha.

There is nothing wrong with his deployment strategy. What is problematic is the strength of Chiba Shiraishi and Uchiha Ruri...and Konoha who is busy dealing with the inner ghost.

Not to mention not knowing the actual combat power of the enemy, this is a major mistake, joining forces with Konoha, it is tantamount to telling the enemy about one's own strategy completely, and acting under the enemy's nose.

Ebizo nodded, and continued: "Just now there was a letter from Daming Mansion, the diplomatic mission of the Kingdom of Ghosts has arrived at Daming Mansion, demanding to cede all the land in the northwest of Kazejian Castle as compensation for the Kingdom of Winds' invasion of the Kingdom of Ghosts, the attitude is very tough."

"Let the daimyo wait a little longer, and after the meeting of the Five Kages Conference comes to fruition, they might win over the rest of the ninja villages and put pressure on the Oni Nation diplomatically. They probably don't want to see the Oni Nation take advantage of the momentum. The holding of the Five Kages Conference will be beneficial to us Sahikaku."

Chiyo said so.

Originally, the five major countries occupy the most resources in the ninja world. If the kingdom of ghosts is allowed to rise, it means that their share of interests that belong to them will be embezzled by the kingdom of ghosts.

"Sister, it's good that you have an arrangement. In terms of diplomacy, I will temporarily help the daimyo to hold off. When the Five Kages Conference has a result and the daimyos and kages of other countries support it, the kingdom of ghosts will surely retreat. Before that, we can use their renegade identities to make some fuss."

"Well, let me handle the Five Kage talks."

Chiyo said with a sigh.

Luo Sha's situation is obviously not suitable for participating in the Five Kages Conference, and the Oni Kingdom is so pressing, and the witches are completely unable to negotiate. Since it cannot be resolved from within the Oni Kingdom, it can only use external pressure on the Oni Kingdom.

I hope that the shadows of all countries can put aside their previous suspicions this time, and work together to suppress the rise of the ghost country and prevent the emergence of the sixth largest country.
