Chapter 750 Arrival

Twenty minutes after Yagura and Six-Tails Jinchu Riko Hataka disappeared, Terumi Mei, as the Fifth Mizukage, gathered 5,000 ninjas as quickly as possible. Ten people formed a group and divided them into 500 search teams to search the entire territory of the Land of Water, including the huge sea area under the jurisdiction of the Land of Water.

Then ordered the border guards to seal the border, and within the next three days, no one was allowed to enter or leave the country of water.

After all, losing two tailed beasts at once is not a big blow to Kirigakure's military. The only way to do this is to try to see if Yakura and Yu Taka can get back the two Churiki.

Shiraishi, who has reached an alliance with Kirigakure, naturally has no meaning for this, and starts a separate search with Liuli and Ayane to cooperate with Kirigakure's actions.

At the same time, Shiraishi also gave instructions to General Tu to pay attention to Yuyin's movements.

According to the general situation, Nagato who took away the two Jinchuriki at once would probably take them back to Yuyin and seal them in the safest headquarters.

Of course, such a guess cannot be completely correct, but there is a high possibility that Nagato will seal the tailed beast inside Yuyin.

During the sealing period, it is a good opportunity.

The premise is that Nagato has such a similar plan.

"The calculations this time have been completely overturned. Akatsuki still has a way to deal with Jinchuriki that we don't know about."

Following Shiraishi's footsteps, Liuli and Ayane also galloped across the territory of the country of water to start the search.

Although most of the time, the three of them don't need to go to the front line, let alone take up reconnaissance positions, but the experience honed in the Konoha period in the past is still deeply rooted in their bones, and they have not been forgotten like instinct.

In any case, as a member of the original White Fang team, the function of this team is not only a sharp knife, but also a sophisticated investigative instrument.

It's just that Ayane was the scout on the surface at that time, so that the enemy's traces could not be hidden in the white eyes.

"Ah, indeed, this is a joint mistake between us and Kirigakure. I didn't expect that Nagato still had such a trump card hidden in his hands. It's somewhat unexpected."

Shiraishi did not deny the fault in intelligence, but he was not as worried as he imagined, and fell into a state of self-destruction.

When considering one thing, he will simulate various failure results. Therefore, this worst possibility itself is also a risk that Ghost Country and Kirigakure need to take, which is within their initial assumptions.

But the idea is the idea, whether it can be fully accepted is another matter.

The loss of the two tailed beasts has already greatly affected the balance of victory.

"However, where did Akatsuki take Yakura and the others? So far, there is no trace, and there is no trace left by the other party along the way."

Ayane locked her eyes on all areas within a diameter of ten kilometers. Generally speaking, it was impossible for anyone to escape her sight.

Even if you shield your own chakra, the part that white eyes can see through is not just chakra. In terms of finding enemies, Baiyan is much more convenient than Sharingan.

"There is nothing on my side, and there is no message from the Water Dragon God on the other side of the sea area. It probably didn't leave from the sea area."

"Did it leave from the sky?"

Ayane thought about it, and glanced at the sky that was about to darken with her white eyes, which had a deep gray color.

If so, it can indeed avoid a lot of trouble.

After all, it is not difficult to obtain the power of flight in addition to manipulating gravity.

According to the signal Kirigakure received at first, the other party also made a surprise attack from the air and directly found Yakura who was Mizukage.

"Maybe, now we can only wait for the reply from General Tu. However, we must also prepare for the worst, such as the possibility of the three-tailed and six-tailed being sealed..."

Baishi's face became slightly heavy.

If it really evolves into that situation, Nagato with the six-headed tailed beast will indeed become more difficult to deal with. Although the Kingdom of Ghosts will still have some advantages by then, it will not be as significant as in the past.

"Fortunately, Konoha's plan seems to be relatively smooth. Nagato did not succeed in Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and managed to save it, which also consumed part of Konoha's power."

On Yunyin's side, there is Kisame as a pawn, so there is a lot of room for manipulation, and there is no need to worry about the situation of Yawei.

"That's really strange, so easily won the two tailed beasts of Kirigakure, but failed in the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki..."

Liuli kept moving forward at a constant speed, thinking about this matter.

Shiraishi and Ayane naturally know that there are some problems, but more information is needed to analyze and speculate reasonably, and they cannot rely on their own subjective assumptions.

"Naruto!"

In the destroyed forest, the ground seems to have been hit by meteorites many times, with huge potholes appearing one after another, and there are even deep tracks washed out by the storm, which almost changed the landscape of the forest.

Within a few kilometers, there were no weeds or trees, all of which were uprooted and flew out.

The wounded Kai found Naruto, not only Kai, but root ninjas such as Shikamaru and Chigen also came here.

There are Konoha ninjas coming up one after another, pulling up the defensive circle, but when the enemy has already left, the effect of doing so is not great.

"Mr. Kai, Shikamaru, you..."

Naruto wanted to say hello easily, but he felt a twitch in his chest and severe pain, which made him frown and interrupted his words.

The chest that was hit hard before has not fully recovered. After all, the repulsive impact of the compressed heavenly law almost shattered all the ribs in his chest. Even the Immortal Talisman cannot heal in a short time.

"Hey, are you okay? If you are hurt, don't talk casually."

Shikamaru came over to support Naruto, his face was extremely weak and pale, and his breath was extremely sluggish. It was obvious that they had experienced a fierce and bitter battle.

"It's okay, but there is still a little pain in the chest. However, that guy is really powerful, and I almost thought I was finished."

Until then, Naruto finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If it wasn't for Asura's help and the search troops who went out, they cut off the enemy's Chakra signal in time at a critical moment. If they want to repel the opponent, they may have to make a huge sacrifice, and Konoha's loss will be even greater.

Now that the enemy has retreated, it is a blessing among misfortunes.

Continue to fight, the outcome is unpredictable.

After all, he has not yet mastered the move of Qiu Daoyu. Although it is powerful, it consumes too much chakra.

The advantage is that Ashura has completed the basic training of the seven attributes of chakra for him. If he wants to further improve the proficiency of the jade, he needs to work hard in this area.

"It's fine."

Shikamaru nodded, seeing that Naruto was indeed like this, he was temporarily relieved.

Takegen on the side did not speak, as long as the safety of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is confirmed, his work here will be considered complete.

This may have been the best result.

Otherwise, it is very likely that some dirty reincarnated dolls will be called from Danzo to help out. But that is the hole card of the root, and it is also the ultimate power used to protect Konoha, and now is not the time.

"Go and investigate the situation nearby, and then compile a report and give it to me."

Qugen said to the root ninja behind him.

"yes!"

The root ninja responded, scattered around, and conducted a careful investigation of the battlefield.

In terms of investigating information, Nemo's professional ability is definitely not inferior to Naruto's direct subordinate Anbu.

Even if the enemy leaves, a lot of useful information can be extracted through the traces of the battle.

"Naruto."

It was Tianzang who came this time, along with Sai, Hinoko, and Anbe of a unit.

Anbu had just completed the arrangement, but the battle was over. It has to be said that such an abrupt end of the battle left Anbu in vain. In this regard, the root is also half a catty.

Compared to Hinoko, who was a candidate for Anbe, Sai quietly nodded to his boss, Tokone, not knowing what he was expressing.

"Captain Yamato."

Naruto also responded with a tired tone.

I didn't feel it before, but once the battle was over, the bones and muscles all over his body seemed to be twitching violently, which made him want to take a rest.

"Let's talk about the report later, Sai, Hinoko, take Naruto back to rest. Just leave it to us."

Tianzang could see that Naruto was exhausted at this time, continued to rest and recuperate, and gave orders to Sai and Hinoko.

"Yes, Captain."

Sai and Hinoko took Naruto from Shikamaru and took him back to Konoha to rest.

"It seems that we came a step late. I don't know what arrangements Elder Danzo has?"

Tianzang glanced at Shikamaru with a scrutinizing gaze, and took the root.

He has also heard about Shikamaru's entry into the root, but this is a game between high-level officials. He has no objection, but is a little surprised.

"Master Danzo hopes to increase the protection of Naruto in the future. You have also seen that the enemy is very strong."

Take the root and said.

"However, if even Naruto can't do anything, it will be difficult for us to directly enter the frontal battlefield."

Shikamaru analyzed like this.

The battle between Tendo and Naruto, just by looking at it from a distance, one can tell what level of battle it is. The aftermath alone is enough to pose a huge threat to Chunin, and it can only be barely mixed in.

"The life of a ninja is to die in battle. This is a matter of course. If you stop because of fear, you will only end up with a weak situation during the third generation's reign. If Hokage doesn't make arrangements for this, then Naruto's safety is entirely up to us."

Qugen's strong words also represent the belief that Genbu is determined to follow the martial arts faction and will not be shaken by anything.

"You can't pretend that you didn't hear this kind of words. Naruto is a member of the seventh class and a talent that Hokage-sama values. The future is limitless. If you enter the root, there will inevitably be some stains. If something goes wrong, can your root take responsibility?"

Tianzang did not back down from taking the root, and swept his eyes sharply.

What kind of place is the root, Tianzang knows best.

Too much contact with this place is not good for Naruto.

"Calm down, both of you. Now that the crisis has not been resolved, it is not the time for internal strife. Seeing that Konoha has been injured, not only Akatsuki, but also the Kingdom of Ghosts doesn't know what action to take. I don't believe that there is no Kingdom of Ghosts behind the series of events. Don't you think that this kind of situation that hurts both sides is the most beneficial to the Kingdom of Ghosts?"

Shikamaru shook his head helplessly.

Tianzang and Qugen were silent.

Having many sources of information, they naturally learned many secrets that ordinary ninjas do not know through various recent incidents.

The Land of Rain, Yu Yin, Xiao, Eye of Reincarnation... What happened these days was sudden and bizarre, and it was obvious that someone was secretly guiding them to achieve a certain purpose.

Xiao Mou's plan to capture Nine-Tails failed, and Konoha successfully prevented it, but she was also traumatized, so no matter how you look at it, neither side won the victory they wanted.

"In this case, let Hokage-sama and Danzo-sama meet and communicate alone. Now that the pressure from outside the village has become so huge, we really shouldn't be secretly targeting here to benefit outsiders."

Taking the root took a step back.

"I agree with this."

Tianzang also took a step back and gave Qugen the steps.

The Land of Rain.

The torrential rain poured down.

The dark clouds in the sky hung low, as if they were about to cover the entire land. Among them, thunder and lightning flashed, and from time to time there was an explosion-like muffled thunder, which made people feel extremely depressing.

On the rock, two Konoha ninjas in charge of reconnaissance, holding military binoculars, explore the movement ahead.

Immediately, their bodies stiffened, and their shocked pupils began to constrict.

"What, what is this... No, I have to report to Hokage-sama immediately!"

What appeared in front of the two of them was an endless white human figure stretching on the rainy ground.

They have the shape of a human being, but their skin is pale, and their faces are basically the same. They don't wear any clothes, and all their body skin is bare, but they step forward in an extremely calm manner, walking forward in the rain, with strange lights shining in their eyes.

Such white human figures are everywhere, endless, and the number is still increasing.

Brightly compressing Konoha Ninja's living space forward.

Not only that, but then there was a sky-shattering roar.

Huge beasts with carnivorous lizard heads appeared from behind the white humanoid army. Their forelimbs were short and their hind limbs were thick and powerful.

The eyes of these giant beasts are also very huge, and they are in the shape of lavender circular ripples, spreading out layer by layer, full of violence and malice.

In addition, there are quite a few flying behemoths in the sky, which also have the head of a carnivorous lizard, but compared with the behemoths on land, they have strong and huge fleshy wings and can fly freely.

They found the traces of the Konoha ninjas, but they didn't attack. They just flew around and around the heads of the Konoha ninjas, bringing them a terrifying pressure of death.

It is more accurate to say that it is deterrence rather than offense.

As long as you see such a scene, even if you want to invade, you have to weigh the consequences first, and it is impossible to act without scruples.

"Walk!"

The two Konoha ninjas who were scouting knew the enemy's plan, and they were afraid and panicked.

The Kingdom of Rain has undergone such a huge change, and it is no longer within their control. They need to report to the upper layer of Konoha and accept new instructions.

Once such a force launches a surprise attack on the Land of Fire, the consequences will be disastrous.

So, they took a few high-resolution photos and left very simply.

Not only Konoha, but also the ninjas of Sand Yin, Yan Yin, and Yun Yin who were stationed in the land of rain, all encountered the same situation at the same time. The scouts returned immediately and reported the matter to their superiors.

"The villages like Konoha have already noticed the existence of the White Army and dragon beasts. Next, a stalemate of deterrence has formed."

Bai Jue returned to Yuyin and reported the matter to Xiao Nan, the current highest person in charge of Yuyin.

Xiao Nan nodded. She was on the tower looking into the distance through the rain.

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki failed to capture, and the Three-Tails and Six-Tails got it. The rest is up to Kisame and Hiryuho. I hope there won't be any accidents there."

On the whole, Akatsuki's operation has already completed half of the target. No matter how bad the situation is, there is still a price to negotiate with other countries, so that they will not use military means against the Land of Rain in a short time.

What Akatsuki lacks most now is preparation time.

If it wasn't for the secret inducement of the Kingdom of Ghosts, they wouldn't have acted so quickly without being fully prepared.

"With the abilities of Kisame and Beiruhu, Hachio probably won't have any problems. Anyway, when Kisame and Itachi teamed up in the past, they have accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with Jinchuriki."

Bai Jue is very optimistic.

"Perfect Jinchuriki is different. Otherwise, Nagato would not bring that thing with him when he went to Kirigakure this time. Once he spends too much time capturing Jinchuriki, he will fall into a stalemate under siege, leading to the failure of the plan."

Xiaonan warned with a serious face.

Compared to Nagato, Kisame and Beiruhu are the group that really needs to worry about.

Kisame and Beiliuhu traveled from the country of rivers in the west of the country of rain, and then spent dozens of hours crossing the sea area to the country of thunder, and then rushed towards Yunyin village.

Finally arrived at Yunyin at zero o'clock. At this time, it was completely dark. From a distance, we could see that there were still lights in Yunyin Village, which radiated light at night, which was particularly eye-catching.

It was easy to bypass Yunyin's patrolling troops and pass through the cordon of barbed wire. Even in the dark, the sky above Yunyin was misty, like a city located in the clouds.

With the scale of Daikuni Ninja Village, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a city.

Even the population of many small countries may not exceed the total population of these ninja villages, otherwise they cannot afford such a large number of ninjas.

Kisame and Beiruhu, who also came from Kirigakure and Konoha, are very aware of the importance of Yunyin Village.

This super-powerful Ninja Village, which is second only to the country of ghosts in terms of military strength, is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.

Invading this village and taking away the Eight-tailed Jinchuriki is undoubtedly a very challenging job.

"I drove such a long distance just now, and the Chakra consumption is very serious. What, can you still hold on?"

Kisame touched the big sword shark muscle on the back, and cared about the consumption of Helihu's chakra in the attitude of a colleague.

Running at high speed for 30 to 40 hours at a stretch is not a problem for Kisame who has a huge amount of chakra, and can use shark muscle to replenish it at any time, but Beiliuhu does not have such a powerful chakra. It would have taken three or four days to reach it, but it took only half the time to arrive. The price paid for this is to consume more chakra.

If Chakra is insufficient, the assistance that Beiliuhu can provide in the subsequent arrest of Jinzhuli will be very limited.

"Don't underestimate me."

Beliuhu didn't have shortness of breath, but in fact his chakra was indeed consumed a lot, so he quickly put a few pills into his mouth, crushed them into his stomach, and his chakra and physical strength began to recover.

"Almost forgot, you are a research geek just like that guy Orochimaru."

Kisame chuckled.

Although the research focuses of Beiliuhu and Dashewan are different, it is not difficult for researchers of their level to prepare some special drugs.

"Do you need some?"

Beliuhu asked in a normal manner.

"No, my chakra is still sufficient, and it will not affect the next action."

Kisame refused.

Beliuhu nodded without forcing it, and put the remaining pills into the ninja bag for emergency use.

"According to the information collected by Bai Jue, that Eight-tailed Jinchuriki will practice in Yunlei Gorge in Yunyin. We can go to Yunlei Gorge next."

Bei Liuhu said at this time.

Different from other Ninja Villages, Yunyin Village does not have a clear division of scope, but is a village built on the basis of high mountains. It is undoubtedly a very difficult thing to build a city wall in such an environment.

This has resulted in that although many places are nominally under the jurisdiction of Yunyin, they are separated by a certain distance and do not directly border on Yunyin Center.

Among these places, Yunlei Gorge is one of them.

The mountains there are gathered together, the rivers are criss-crossing, and the clouds and mists are entangled all the year round, and the sky has the sound of thunder, so it is named Yunlei Gorge.

is a place where Yunyin is quite famous.

"This kind of thing needs to be investigated personally. Sometimes, the information obtained by Bai Jue's investigation is not reliable."

Kisame said so, leading the way ahead, came to a river, and looked into the distance with Beiliuhu.

That's where Yunlei Gorge is located.

"Spiritualism!"

Ghost shark formed a seal, pressed against the ground, and several small sharks suddenly appeared, fell into the river, and disappeared.

Beliuhu didn't say a word, just stayed beside Guixier silently, waiting for the sharks to report the situation.

About half an hour later, a small shark returned along the river, revealing a small body on the shore.

Kisame walked over, knelt down, touched the shark's head with his palm, seemed to communicate with it, and nodded from time to time.

Then, the small shark disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"How? Is the intelligence accurate?"

Beliuhu came over and asked.

Kisame nodded, and replied: "There is no problem with the information, and the sharks have found the location of the eight tails. The next step is to assign operations. According to the plan drawn up before, I will attract attention from the front, and you will be responsible for the sneak attack. Try to knock down the eight tails Jinchuriki with one blow. Otherwise, if there is a tug of war, we will be trapped in the encirclement of Yun Yin, and we will not be able to leave even if we want to leave."

"Then please."

After Bei Liuhu finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared in place.

Kisame headed towards the cloud and mist area, and then disappeared in the mist.
