Chapter 801 Confluence

October 18, morning.

The Allied troops stationed in the Country of Grass once again attacked the Baijue troops in Caoyin Village.

Although the alliance army did not know exactly how many Bai Jue were stationed in Caoyin Village at the beginning of this tough battle, but after several confrontations, the alliance army roughly estimated the number of Bai Jue staying in Caoyin Village, which was about 15,000.

This number is astonishing. According to the intelligence of the Alliance Army, the total strength of Akatsuki's Baijue troops is only more than 70,000. Now that there are such a number of Baijue stationed in Caoyin, it is conceivable that Akatsuki is ready to fight a tough battle with the Alliance Army.

The sky in the morning should have been clear and bright, but under the engulfing flames of war between the Alliance Army and Akatsuki, it became dark and covered with clouds. A large number of flying ninja weapons soared in the sky, constantly dropping bombs on the opponent's positions, and the sound of rumbling explosions was endless.

Every round of bombing will make the originally damaged streets and buildings of Caoyin Village become fragmented.

The plan to destroy all Baijue in the Kingdom of Grass within three days undoubtedly ended in failure.

So far, on the frontal battlefield of the Country of Grass, the Alliance Army has not caused a substantial advantage over the Baijue troops.

Less than an hour after the battle started in the morning, a large number of wounded were transported back for surgical treatment, and then troops were continuously dispatched to attack the positions stationed by Bai Jue in Caoyin Village in turn.

Fierce fighting is taking place from the sky, land, underground, everywhere, and the killing of both sides has not stopped for a moment.

Bai Jue, a special individual with special abilities, began to reduce his staff continuously. The squadron leader Jnin of the Alliance Army was also in the frontal battle, and there were casualties that could not be ignored.

Under the circumstances that this advantage is not obvious, coupled with the fact that some Bai Jue used the transformation technique to continuously assassinate the medical staff of the Alliance army, the sacrifice rate of the Alliance army is only slightly better than that of the Bai Jue army.

Darui, the captain of the first wing who fought **** on the front line, his clothes were almost soaked in blood, some of his own, and some of his comrades accidentally splashed on it. Not only was he exhausted physically and mentally, but also his throat was stinging after shouting for a long time.

As the position advances, the speed of attack is actually getting slower and slower, and the difficulty is also getting more and more difficult.

Various dragon beasts as large as hills emerged in endlessly, and they were also summoned by some special monsters using psychic techniques, causing trauma to the alliance army.

The fighting lasted for several hours before it ended briefly. The two sides stopped their troops and retreated to their respective safe positions behind, staring at each other.

After such a fierce fight, both the Alliance Army and the Baijue Army were extremely tired and needed to rest and recover their strength before they could fight on the battlefield again.

"Continuing like this is not an option. We must find a way to break the current deadlock. Otherwise, if this stalemate continues, we will only contain all our main forces here."

Darui, who returned from the battlefield, was wearing the blood-stained ninja uniform. Before he had time to change into a new set of clothes, he put forward his opinions in the simple meeting room built by the tent.

"Yes, if our main force has been unable to advance, we may miss the best opportunity if we delay."

Jonin, the squadron leader who charged with Darui before, also nodded in agreement.

The rest of the squadron leader-level jounin also agreed with this view. Originally, according to the instructions given by the headquarters, there were only three days at most to use to attack Caoyin Village.

However, it has been more than three days now. Not to mention the capture of Caoyin, even half of Caoyin Village is still occupied by Baijue troops, fiercely resisting the attack of the alliance army.

According to the development of this situation, when Caoyin will be captured is an unpredictable unknown.

This is not a good thing for the Union Army.

"If we launch a general attack regardless of everything, we can indeed capture Kusanagi as quickly as possible, but in that case, our casualties will be extremely heavy. The number of medical ninjas and wounded personnel being attacked in the past few days is increasing day by day."

Luo Sha spoke of the current predicament, frowning, obviously embarrassed by this matter.

The Kingdom of Grass has assembled nearly 30,000 ninjas, and it is not difficult to capture a grass hermit.

But just like the tactics adopted by Bai Jue, Bai Jue upright choked their throats and used special transformation techniques to threaten the medical ninjas and wounded personnel behind them, resulting in a considerable number of main forces having to be dispatched to protect the safety of the rear.

Because if this matter is not handled properly, it may lead to a further increase in the sacrifice rate of the Union Army, and it will go out of control.

If it wasn't for this kind of incident, Luo Sha would have charged with a large force, defeated the Baijue army in Caoyin Village, and included the Kingdom of Grass in the hands of the alliance army.

Then, they can coordinate with the army of the Oni Country in the Country of Birds, and launch a final attack on the Country of Rain together.

It's a pity that this excellent idea was blocked by Baijue's troops before it was successfully launched, and their vitality was wasted on the small land of Caoyin.

Over the past few days, the Alliance Army has sacrificed thousands of ninjas on the land of Caoyin Village, and the medical pressure is increasing day by day.

If it wasn't for the materials of the Alliance Army, Mabui, a member of the staff at the headquarters, would have sent them directly to the front line using the technique of heavenly gift, and there would probably be problems with the supply, which would put even more pressure on the front line.

"Hasn't the headquarters come up with a good plan yet?"

Darui asked.

"No, the transformation technique used by Bai Jue is very advanced, and the perceptual ninjas in the alliance army can't tell the difference. The transformation technique they use can be perfectly simulated by even Chakra, so that it can be faked."

Luo Sha shook his head.

Regarding this point, he, Kazekage, has nothing to do.

Perception ninja's perceptual ninjutsu is based on sensing chakra and expanded. If the field of perceptual ninjutsu only includes chakra, it will be difficult to find Bai Jue who has sneaked into the alliance army.

If it weren't for this, Kusakashi's battle situation would not have fallen into this stalemate.

"Then, can't the main force of the rest of the theater be transferred here? After all, it's not time to start a war with the ghost country."

Darui sighed and continued to ask.

"Those main forces cannot be easily transferred away. Our alliance with the ghost country is not stable. Comrades may become enemies at any time. You understand this. Now we can only attack while waiting for the headquarters to find a perfect solution."

Luo Sha understood Darui's helpless state of mind, and even the other captains, as well as him, Kazekage, felt a little powerless.

After all, they lack the kind of powerful ninjas that surpass common sense.

As long as there is one person, the current stalemate can be quickly broken.

Alternatively, adding one or two Wuying reinforcements can quickly break down this deadlock.

However, ninjas at the Five Kage level cannot be easily mobilized until the last resort.

"Ye Cang, you will replace Darui this afternoon and lead your squadron to attack."

Finally, Luo Sha issued such an order and hurriedly ended the meeting.

Allied Army, Headquarters Administrative District.

In the brand-new corridor without too much dust, only the Fourth Raikage and Tsunade were walking side by side.

"Just now, Kazekage sent a letter, and the battle situation on the front line still hasn't gained much advantage. It seems that it will take some time to break through Cao Yin's defense line."

The Fourth Raikage's voice was calm, and his face calmly explained the battle situation on the front line.

"Your Majesty Kazekage, you have done your best. Even if I were on the front line, the situation would probably not be much better."

Tsunade said.

"I don't mean to hold Kazekage accountable. After all, those white people are not incompetent. Anyone who sees them will be shocked by their fearless fighting posture. In addition, some of them have special abilities. It's hard to imagine that it took less than two days for the kingdom of ghosts to wipe out the resistance of the kingdom of birds and open Akatsuki's door."

The fourth generation of Raikage spoke solemnly. While mentioning the Baijue army, he did not forget to express his fear of the kingdom of ghosts.

Under the premise of attacking at the same time, their alliance army is still confronting Xiao bitterly, and the kingdom of ghosts has already cleared all the roads before attacking the country of rain, and only waits for the final blow to fall on Xiao's head.

As far as firepower is concerned, the army of the Ghost Country is terrifying.

Until now, he feels that this kind of record is too eye-catching.

Tsunade was silent, she couldn't deny this, and there was a little pressure in her heart.

Seeing that Tsunade didn't say a word, Fourth Raikage then asked, "Hokage, what do you think of Danzo's reincarnation strategy?"

Tsunade said without even thinking about it: "This is our own business, there is no need to disturb the peace of the ancestors. Although my second grandfather created the technique of reincarnation in dirty soil, this technique is really..."

Tsunade did not continue, but the meaning of repelling the filthy reincarnation tactics is self-evident.

Regarding Tsunade's answer, Fourth Raikage was not without surprises.

In the voting before, Tsunade unswervingly gave a negative vote, and it is only natural to say such a thing now.

"What do you think is our chance of winning the battle against the Kingdom of Ghosts after Akatsuki is resolved?"

Fourth Raikage glanced at Tsunade next to him, as if he wanted to find out something.

"Well..."

Tsunade was struggling.

Although I don't want to admit it, after solving Akatsuki, if the alliance army and the ghost country go to war in an all-out way, most of them will lose more than win.

"You should have seen Hinata Ayane's performance at the Five Kages Conference that day. Even I can't do anything about her. And there are several ninjas of her level in Onigoku... To be honest, this is not a blow to our self-confidence. In my opinion, even if the number of our current Five Kages is doubled, it is still very difficult to change the decline."

Fourth Raikage gave a pertinent self-evaluation.

As the supreme leader of the alliance army, he knows how strong the alliance army is now, but facing a meat grinder-level ninja like Hinata Ayane, there is no good way except to pile up human lives.

"Raikage, are you planning to give up cooperating with the Oni Nation and turn to Akatsuki?"

Tsunade frowned.

"No, Akatsuki is the goal we all cut off. On this point, we have the same interests as the Oni Nation, and we will not change it. I mean, I agree with Tsuchikage's idea. Although Danzo's approach has indeed desecrated the heroic souls of the ancestors to a certain extent, it may not be a life-saving straw when the situation is at an end. No matter what kind of ninjutsu, as long as it can contribute to the victory of the alliance army, it doesn't matter whether it is evil or righteous. For us, there is only one Acceptable outcome - that's victory!"

The fourth generation of Raikage's voice was deep and serious, appearing extremely serious.

Hate Danzo? Naturally it is extremely annoying.

Although Danzo did not collect the biological tissues of the past Raikages of Yunyin, he did not obtain them through tomb robbery, but his tactics of using dead Raikages to fight were also desecrating the Raikages of Yunyin.

However, on the other hand, this is also an excellent tactic that can provide the Alliance Army with many high-end combat capabilities.

When Tsunade heard the Fourth Raikage say this, he knew that, like Tsuchikage Onoki, the Fourth Raikage was somewhat moved by the filthy soil reincarnation tactics.

You can't think that the fourth generation of Raikage has no brains just because he has well-developed limbs. On the contrary, he is an extremely realistic leader, and he believes too much in power. No matter what strategy is considered, it must be considered practically.

The filthy earth reincarnation tactic, although it violates the moral standards of ordinary people, but if it can be used well, it will be of great value to use.

Regarding this point, even Tsunade cannot deny it.

None of the forbidden techniques that can be recorded in the Konoha Seal Book is a simple existence.

"No matter what, I will stick to my own opinion. Regarding this, you may be disappointed, Raikage."

Tsunade fiddled with the hair on his forehead, and confessed frankly.

Although the filthy soil reincarnation tactic is infinitely useful, it is not in line with her philosophy.

"I just remind you that when the critical moment comes, I, as the supreme leader of the alliance army, need to be responsible for the lives of the ninjas under me. I don't care about evil or righteous means. As long as I can win this war, it doesn't matter whether the means are despicable or not. Telling you now, I just hope that you will not break with the alliance army because of this, and be mentally prepared for this."

Fourth Raikage walked forward, always keeping parallel with Tsunade, neither step fast nor slow.

Tsunate was about to say something, but found three figures suddenly appeared at the corner of the corridor ahead, one of them also saw Tsunade and Fourth Raikage, and immediately waved:

"Grandma Tsunade, Uncle Raikage!"

The person who shouted was Naruto who returned to the headquarters of the Alliance Army from Turtle Island.

Beside him were Qirabbi and Tianzang, one left and one right following on both sides. Judging from their expressions, they were quite relaxed. The way back was smooth and nothing happened.

"Yo, you came back so early, it seems that you have succeeded in cultivation."

Tsunade also put away the solemn expression on his face, and showed a faint smile. He was not surprised to see Naruto appearing here.

The moment Naruto completed his training, the headquarters got relevant information, and they already knew that Naruto and others would return to the headquarters from Turtle Island.

Otherwise, she and the fourth generation of Raikage would not have appeared here, and personally cleaned up for them.

"Although there were some twists and turns in the process, it was finally completed."

Naruto has no cover.

Tsunade felt that Naruto seemed to be different from the past, but he couldn't tell what this different feeling was for a while.

"I never thought you could really control the power of Nine Tails."

Fourth Raikage also looked at Naruto in surprise. In his initial thought, it was impossible for Naruto to pass the test, not to mention that in such a short period of time, the Fourth Raikage felt unbelievable.

"Brother, you underestimate Naruto too much. Now he has become super powerful and will definitely surprise everyone."

Kirabi, who seemed to be aware of the fourth generation of Raikage's thoughts, Kirabi also said something for Naruto, with a triumphant look, as if he was talking about himself.

"Yeah?"

Fourth Raikage raised his brows, suddenly, a flash of lightning flew out, and the fourth Raikage suddenly disappeared on the spot.

Naruto seemed to be aware of it, and his whole body's aura immediately changed, and his whole body began to be covered with a layer of golden chakra. With a slight shake of his figure, he easily dodged the palm of the Fourth Raikage's grab, and retreated to the side.

The Fourth Raikage did not stop, his figure turned sharply, and his body turned into a flash of lightning again and disappeared.

Naruto also turned into golden light and lost his traces, racing with the fourth generation of Raikage in the wide corridor at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

In the eyes of Tsunade and the others, they could only vaguely see two rays of light, one blue and one gold, chasing each other as fast as lightning.

The Fourth Raikage was so fast, Tsunade was not surprised, but Naruto was able to match the Fourth Raikage in speed, but Tsunade was amazed.

You must know that the speed of the Fourth Raikage has always been dubbed the fastest in the ninja world.

Except for the mysterious and abnormal space-time ninjutsu, basically no one can surpass the fourth generation of Raikage in speed.

Even a ninja like Hinata Ayane who specializes in physical arts must rely on supercilious eyes to be on par with the fourth generation of Raikage in terms of speed.

"He actually has the same speed as Raikage-sama. After becoming the perfect Jinchuriki, Naruto's improvement is too great."

Not only Tsunade, but Tenzo, who had never seen Naruto using his full strength, was also taken aback at this time.

Although Naruto's speed in the past was fast, it was still a bit slower than the speed of the top ninja in the ninja world.

Especially for ninjas like the Fourth Raikage who practiced Raikage Ninjutsu, it is not easy to catch up.

In Tianzang's eyes, this felt incredible.

"The flash of this color is simply the second generation of yellow flash. Unfortunately, it is not a space-time ninjutsu, but caused by pure body movement."

Although he said it was a pity, Tsunade showed a satisfied smile when he saw Naruto who was on par with the Fourth Raikage in terms of speed.

Naruto's growth has exceeded her expectations.

The speed has reached this point, presumably the strength is not much inferior.

After all, the tame is the most powerful Nine Tails.

"Even so, it's exaggerated enough."

Tianzang closed his mouth and said with a wry smile.

"What about the rest?"

Tsunade turned his head and asked.

"Senior Kai and the others are still behind. The three of us came a little earlier because we were in a hurry to come back."

Tianzang replied.

Afterwards, Tianzang asked inadvertently: "Speaking of it, Hokage-sama, how is the situation on the front line? On the other side of Turtle Island, we haven't learned more about the situation here."

Tsunade slowly retracted the smile on his face, frowned and said: "It is not optimistic. Even if Luo Sha personally sits on the front line, he has not yet completely conquered the country of grass, and is in a difficult stalemate."

"Has even the Five Kages started to mobilize?"

Tianzang was speechless.

"This is also a matter of no choice. Now we are considering whether to support the second five shadows. After all, delaying it will not benefit our alliance army."

Tsunade exhaled.

Just as he was talking, the chase over there stopped.

The fourth generation of Raikage intercepted in front of Naruto, but kept touching Naruto's clothes. It is conceivable that in the previous chase scene, in terms of speed, he, Raikage, did not take advantage of it at all.

"Good job, the ninja who can stand with me to this point under my full strength, the first is that white-eyed woman Hyuga Ayane, the second is your father, the yellow flashing Namikaze Minato, and you are the third."

Fourth Raikage unceremoniously praised Naruto's super speed at this time. After being stimulated by lightning, the bristling hair slowly returned to its original state. The violent lightning covering his strong body disappeared without a trace in an instant. He exhaled lightly and regained his calm.

"Uncle Raikage's speed is astonishingly fast."

Naruto was slightly ashamed.

I thought that with this special state, I could surpass the fourth generation of Raikage in speed, but I didn't expect that it was just a match.

"It's nothing. I can feel that you haven't fully familiarized yourself with this state. After you are fully familiarized with it, you may be faster than me."

The fourth generation of Raikage tells the truth.

"It was seen."

Naruto scratched his head.

"However, speaking of it, your state is completely different from Bi's, and the feeling is also very different."

Staring at the golden chakra coat on Naruto's body, the Fourth Raikage frowned.

"Well, I call this state the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode. There should be a deeper mode, but I need time to fully guide it."

Naruto did not hide.

Nine-Tails' Chakra is too huge, the Chakra he uses now is just a part of Nine-Tails.

"Okay, you two, let's stop here for the discussion."

Tsunade stepped in at this time, his eyes fell on Naruto with a strange look.

The Fourth Raikage wanted to experience Naruto's speed again, so he snorted and gave up.

"Naruto, I have a question I want to ask."

Tsunade looked serious, staring straight at Naruto.

"What's up?"

Naruto was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Tsunade was fussing about.

"In the past, my grandmother, Konoha's first Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, once told me that Nine-Tails has the ability to judge the enemy through good and evil thoughts. Now that you have tamed the Nine-Tails in your body, has this ability been inherited?"

As soon as this question was uttered, Fourth Raikage's face changed slightly, and he looked at Naruto seriously.

"The ability to perceive goodwill and malice...the ability does exist. Why, Tsunade Granny, what happened?"

Seeing the serious expressions of Tsunade and Fourth Raikage at the same time, Naruto felt that the Alliance Army had encountered some trouble.

"Because of the fierce battle on the front line, some Bai Jue used special transformation techniques that cannot be seen through to sneak into the alliance army, and raided our wounded and medical ninjas, causing us a lot of damage. The most hateful thing is that there is no good news about the arrest of Bai Jue. Now that you have the ability to perceive people's good intentions and malice, I think you should be able to quickly find Bai Jue who is hiding in the alliance army using the transformation technique."

Tsunade explained, briefly explaining the setbacks encountered on the front line.

"So that's the case. Since the situation is not optimistic, then I will join the war."

Naruto did not hesitate, volunteered and transferred to the front line to fight.

Tsunade and Fourth Raikage looked at each other, then turned their heads slightly and turned their gaze back.

"As Renzhuli, you and Kirabi are not only the killers of the alliance army, but also the objects of protection. Regarding whether to let you go to the battlefield now, you need to go through an internal meeting."

Tsunade finished speaking with a serious face, and the Fourth Raikage led the three of Naruto out of the corridor without any delay
