Chapter 819 Kuroshio

The country of fire, Konoha.

is far away from the smoke of war, due to the transfer of villagers, the atmosphere of the village that was originally very popular at night is particularly depressed.

In addition, most of the ninjas have already accepted the arrangement of the alliance army and went to the front line to fight. In today's Konoha, there are only less than a thousand ninjas stationed here.

This defensive force can be said to be very extravagant for a small country, but for a ninja village of Konoha's size, leaving only more than a thousand ninjas stationed in the base camp already means that Konoha has fallen into the weakest state ever.

Whether it is a street or a residential area, basically there is not much human smoke. On the street, there are only patrol teams in twos and threes, who are still loyal to their duties and complete their usual patrol tasks.

After all, Konoha does not belong to the safe zone. Theoretically speaking, this place is also a part of the battlefield, just like other ninja villages. If the enemy's army forces this place, Konoha will immediately burn to death in the flames of war.

Not only that, Konoha is also a transfer station for resource replenishment.

The 5th Regiment of the Alliance Army, led by General Mifune of the Land of Iron, is stationed at the border of the Land of Fire, stepping up its attack on the Land of Rain. Muye Village, on the other hand, is the logistical support of the Fifth Wing of the Alliance Army. A large amount of supplies are supplied from Muye Village to the front line every day.

Therefore, in addition to the originally more than 1,000 ninjas in Muye Village, there are more than a dozen squadrons of the 5th Wing of the Alliance Army stationed and patrolling around Muye Village, and there are more than 2,000 ninjas who can fight.

In Konoha Village, there are a few places that are still lit, one of which is the clan land of the wealthy Hyuga clan.

Most of the branch families were sent to the front line by the clan to assist the Alliance Army, and became the important eyes of the Alliance Army, fighting for it.

While it is uncertain whether they have an affair with the Hyuga clan of the Oni Nation, the ninjas of the separated family members are nothing more than ordinary people who are not ninjas, and have not been transferred to the safe zone.

If the alliance army wins, the Hyuga clan can naturally settle all the shame of the past. At this time, they will not allow even the slightest accident in the branch family. As for the breakup of the relationship, they have long been gone. When another Hyuga Clan was established in the Demon Country, the clan elders of the clan already understood the fact that if they wanted to continue to let the Branch Clan fight for the Hyuga Clan, they could only adopt this extreme and cruel method, even if they were further hated by the Branch Clan.

These are all considerations for the overall existence of the Hyuga Clan, and they have to make decisions about reality.

"At this time, the village looks as if it has fallen into a quagmire from which it cannot extricate itself, and is immersed in darkness."

On a tall pavilion in the Hyuga Clan, a girl looking out over the entire village is admiring the silence and tranquility in Konoha Village.

Due to the transfer of most of the residents, the remaining population is less than 2,000 people. Compared with the population flow during the heyday of Konoha, it is less than 1%.

After all, Ninja Village is a village in name, but its comprehensive ability is not weaker than the capital of a country in terms of scale, which shows the degree of prosperity.

"Yes, this night will become extremely long, but no matter how long the night is, it will eventually dissipate. I don't know what the sun will look like tomorrow morning."

The girl answered with a relatively calm male voice.

In his twenties, he was wearing the uniform of Konoha Jominin, and the ninja guard on his forehead also had the word 'ninja' engraved on it.

Konoha is a member of the Alliance Army. At this time, any ninja belonging to Konoha must wear the exclusive ninja headpiece of the Alliance Army.

At this moment, they are all the combat power of the Union Army.

"Since when did you become so poetic, Tokuma? Could it be because you were too excited tonight?"

Regarding the young man's poetic emotion, the girl couldn't help laughing and teasing her loyal guard.

"Master Hanabi, I think that as long as there is a separated person who is eager to fly out of the birdcage, there is no one who will not be excited tonight. In this world, there is nothing that can be compared with freedom."

Hyuga Tokuma helplessly spread his palms, but the smile on his face still couldn't be concealed no matter what.

"That's right."

Huahuo nodded resemblingly.

But Dejian knew that this girl didn't understand what kind of mood it was.

This is only those who have been enslaved will understand how precious freedom is.

The empathy that others say, no matter how sincere, no matter how touching the soul with words, it is difficult for the real feelings of the parties to come close.

After all, this is the shackles that have been on the head of the family for hundreds of years.

Except for those who are completely enslaved by the clan, the rest of the clan members are thinking about taking off the chains around their necks all the time.

"So, what is the decision given over there?"

Huahuo looked at the quiet night covering Konoha Village, and asked.

"Well... Master Ayane said that the elders of the clan are old, no matter how careful they are when eating and drinking, accidents will always happen. Another example is that the air in the village is very dry recently, and fires are prone to occur. The elderly have inconvenient legs and feet, and there is no time to escape. It is impossible to be accidentally burned to death by fire."

Tokuma tried to express the original words in a humorous way.

It's just the underlying meaning in the words, like a sharp knife, the chill is pressing.

Huahuo nodded approvingly. After all, he is an old man who has not fought for many years. It is very reasonable that his legs and feet are inconvenient.

"Speaking of..."

Huahuo frowned in confusion at this time, shifted her gaze from Konoha Village to the endless dark night, as if there was something on it that she cared about.

"What?"

Tokuma has become accustomed to this young lady's sudden behavior.

"There is always a strange atmosphere in the air, which makes people restless."

Huahuo frowned in thought.

This feeling of whim, at first she thought it was because of tonight's actions, it was inevitable that she had some expectations, which caused a change in mood.

But after realizing the real situation, Hanabi realized that it was not the case.

This feeling is very disturbing.

"Is it an illusion? I don't have the strange aura that Master Hanabi said."

De Jian blinked and tried to speak.

"That's right, Tokuma, your strength is too weak, it's normal that you can't feel this kind of breath."

Huahuo's mouth is very serious.

I really want to say that I am a jonin from a branch family, and my strength is in the Hyuga clan. Although there is no way to compare with real monsters, in fact, my combat ability belongs to the top group of the Hyuga clan.

Placing it in the directly under the dark department can also serve as the squad leader of a four-person team, and it is not impossible to further divide into captains.

But thinking of the strength of the almost twelve-year-old girl in front of him, Tokuma couldn't help but become a little silent.

After all, this is a genius that even those old clan elders are reluctant to divide him into the split camp. The debate on whether Huahuo should be divided into clan or split has not stopped for several years.

Maybe...his strength is really weak?

"Then, the direction of breath is..."

Tokuma asked in a low voice.

Hanabi pointed to a direction, which is the west of Konoha.

"That's the position of the fifth regiment, and to the west is the last battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain."

Tokuma said.

"It seems that a lot of interesting things happened on the battlefield over there."

Hanabi showed a regretful expression.

Although there is no direct evidence, Hanabi's intuition tells that the strange smell in the air spread from the battlefield of the Land of Rain to neighboring countries.

"I don't think there's anything interesting there."

Tokuma shook his head helplessly.

It's not like he hasn't witnessed the doomsday-like battlefield scene. Facing those ninjas who can move mountains and fill seas, Jnin may be just miscellaneous soldiers, or it's more appropriate to call them cannon fodder.

Especially the adult of the Hyuga clan in the land of ghosts, in the Fourth Ninja World War, he was alone in the encirclement of the ninjas of Iwagakure in the land of earth, killing ten in and ten out, and taking a leisurely walk in the back garden.

And such an existence is just a member of the Rain Country battlefield. There are many monsters. Seeing such a battle scene, ordinary ninjas will definitely be so shocked that they don't want to continue working in the ninja industry.

"In short, the battlefield over there has nothing to do with us for the time being, let's deal with the Hinata family's affairs first... Is the manpower ready?"

Huahuo asked.

Tokuma nodded.

"The moment the 'contract' ends, let's start directly."

"Families like Ishikacho, Yume, Inuzuka, and Sarutobi..."

"Let them not go out of the clan area, otherwise, the knives after that will not have eyes, and they will not be able to tell who is the enemy and the friend."

After Hanabi finished speaking, the figure had disappeared from Tokuma's face without a sound, and even Tokuma didn't see the slightest bit of the swiftness of the Instant Body Technique.

Alliance Army, Fifth Regiment, and General of the Iron Country belong to the three ships.

According to the plan of the Union Army, the Fifth Wing will be one of the main forces participating in the war.

Just wait for Xiao to be defeated, and when the alliance army breaks with the ghost country, the Fifth Wing will be dispatched to the rain country to help out, assist the frontline personnel, and complete the operation to kill the main force of the ghost country.

If he really obeys sincerely, Mifune thinks that this kind of thing is naturally his duty.

But unfortunately, he is a samurai, not a ninja, and he assisted the alliance army in combat. It was only because of the exposure of the infinite monthly reading plan that he accepted the transfer order of the alliance army and participated in the crusade against Akatsuki.

But the conflict between the Alliance Army and the Kingdom of Ghosts is not something that the warriors of the Iron Kingdom must participate in.

And at the beginning of the war, Sanfuan also made it clear repeatedly that he would not assist the Alliance Army in fighting the Kingdom of Ghosts.

But the situation has developed to this stage, no matter how much Mifune denies it, it seems that it is difficult for the samurai to be clearly separated from the alliance army.

Fortunately, the conflict with the Kingdom of Ghosts still hasn't been directly confronted. However, if they really lead the Fifth Regiment and enter the Kingdom of Rain to assist the Alliance Army and deal with the Kingdom of Ghosts, then there will no longer be a neutral position between the two forces.

Whether it succeeds or fails, the neutral status of the Iron Kingdom will become an embarrassing issue.

This is not a good thing for Mifune, and the samurai can't afford the aftermath of the battle between ninjas.

Just in the past few days, some squadron leaders of the Alliance Army began to encourage him, both openly and secretly.

Maybe the alliance army can win, but it will definitely not destroy the kingdom of ghosts, nor can it destroy all the living forces in the kingdom of ghosts.

As far as the military power displayed by the Kingdom of Ghosts on the frontal battlefield is concerned, if the five major powers want to destroy it, the price they will pay will not be so heavy. Even some of the bottom powers must be prepared to die together unless they can annihilate most of the main force of the Kingdom of Ghosts on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, this is unrealistic, and the conditions for making up are also very harsh. Just like the alliance army preserves the main force in the war, the kingdom of ghosts is not stupid, nor will it show all its strength and let the alliance army know. The final result is nothing more than returning to the negotiating table and re-determining the international status.

After that, the five major countries may be able to live in peace, but the country of iron will definitely be the first to suffer.

So, Mifune was very dissatisfied with the order to enter the Land of Rain next.

From Mifune's point of view, this is the coercion strategy of the Alliance Army.

Isn't this bullying an honest man like him.

Mifune began to think about whether he should resign from his post now and leave the alliance army with the samurai, so that the alliance army can play by itself.

It's just that in this way, it is bound to be targeted by the five major powers after the fact.

Thinking of this, Mifune felt a headache for a while.

Actually, if he could choose, he would actually prefer to cooperate with the Kingdom of Ghosts. In terms of credibility, the five major countries and the Ninja Village under their rule are really...

In the past, Sha Yin kept tearing up the covenant, launched wars against the allies, and truly used the covenant as toilet paper.

Konoha designed to frame Yuyin on the battlefield, and directly slashed at the allies on the battlefield.

After that, not to mention Yanyin and Yunyin, Wuyin is even more heavyweight.

"Master Mifune."

A voice came from outside the tent.

"In the corner? Come in."

Mifune sorted out his emotions and said to the people outside.

A samurai walked in and bowed to Mifune. It was Satoka Satoshi, one of Mifune's deputies, whose strength was equivalent to that of a Jonin.

"What's the matter? Is there any news from the headquarters?"

"A letter from the headquarters, saying that everything is normal there, so Master Mifune need not worry."

"Well, that's really great. But think about it, there are tens of thousands of elite ninja guards there, with an iron-like defense, no matter how you think about it, accidents are impossible."

Mifune nodded. Among other things, he is still very confident in the defense project of the Alliance Army Headquarters.

"Compared to that, there are many problems on the alliance side."

Opening with a headache in the inner corner. As Sanfuan's deputy, in the Fifth Regiment, he also served as the captain of the First Squadron. He had dozens of warriors under his command, more than two hundred Alliance Army ninjas, and he was a trusted aide of the Regiment Captain Sanfuan, so he could still enjoy himself in the Fifth Regiment.

"What happened?"

"People from Kirigakure and Iwagakure fought, and Konoha also tended to join the battle group. Although not many people participated in the fight, such things broke out every day..."

Li Jiao didn't continue, but the meaning was self-evident.

Mifune didn't know what to do either.

Leaving aside, how well Kirigakure performed in the Fourth Ninja World War is really obvious to all.

As for the direct victims, Iwagakure and Konoha, they naturally disliked Kirigakure in every possible way.

Not only the Fifth Wing, but also many similar news came from other Wings.

In ninja villages where there is a gap between each other, it is quite normal for their ninjas to be hostile to each other, and then internal fighting breaks out.

The alliance army is a deformed alliance army that was forcibly blended together by the current five shadows.

Maybe the people above have the same interests and can consider the overall situation and restrain their emotions, but it is not known what the people below think specifically.

Sanchuan can receive more than a dozen such fights every day.

"In addition, there seems to be friction among the bounty hunters who were invited. Just now, the fireflies were taught a lesson by the leader of the Thunder Light Regiment. Most of them were seriously injured and unable to participate in the battle."

"what happened?"

Hearing this, Mifune's expression became serious.

"I heard that it was a competitor in the previous reward task. The Leiguang Group robbed the Yinghuo Group of several businesses, and was regarded as a thorn in the side of the Yinghuo Group. Then the Yinghuo Group and the Lei Guangtuan happened to have some differences in the plan today, and the two sides quarreled. After that... Now the Yinghuo Group wants us to go to justice and demand an apology from the Leiguang Group."

Lijiao opened his mouth on a business-like basis.

These bounty hunters are here for the Alliance Army, are they sincerely here to tear him down?

Mifune couldn't hold back the samurai sword in his hand.

"What did Lei Guangtuan say?"

Fireflies, to be honest, Mifune doesn't care.

A second-rate bounty hunter team cannot be compared with a top bounty hunter team with a reputation in the underground black market like Lei Guangtuan.

"They hope that the Alliance Army will not intervene, and then destroy the fireflies, and receive double rewards from us."

"...let them stop their disputes, and don't let them fight again. In addition, add some more to the compensation of the Thunder Light Group, so that they don't make trouble for the fireflies."

Mifune is tired.

This is not good for the Alliance Army. No matter how unified the opinions at the top are, the division below is obvious. The most important thing is that he is not easy to intervene as a warrior, but he happens to be the captain of the fifth regiment.

Tonight's such an important plan resulted in frequent accidents in the Fifth Wing. You must know that this group of bounty hunters is also one of the main forces, especially the Lei Guang Group. He also counted on them to be ahead and clear the way for the Alliance Army.

Right now, he can only appease him. I hope that the bounty hunters headed by the Lei Guang Group will not bring him any more 'surprises' when they act.

Nation of Fire, port.

Guarded by dozens of Konoha ninjas, this place seems to be a small outpost belonging to the Alliance Army, guarding everything on the coastline.

On the sea that has become dark, a bridge spans the sea, and the lights on it are shining, which looks beautiful in the dark night.

This is the secrossing bridge connecting the Land of Fire and the Land of Waves. It is a miraculous bridge that was created only after several years of joint efforts between the Land of Fire and the Land of Fire.

Since the completion of the bridge, the Nation of Fire has become more convenient to control the Nation of Waves, and the business between the two countries has also begun to exchange frequently, which has accelerated the prosperity of trade between the two countries.

Now on the bridge across the seas of the two countries, there are clearly armed figures in black combat uniforms, forming a neat queue, like a dark tide, moving fast on the bridge, heading towards the mainland of the Land of Fire.

Among the troops, I also saw armored vehicles with long barrels erected among them, rolling over the bridge deck and moving forward quickly, emitting a thick and heavy bass sound of heavy objects rubbing against the ground.

At the forefront of the troops are dozens of ninjas wearing silver chakra armor and holding heavy firearms.

In the ninja world, ninjas equipped with such equipment belong to the kingdom of ghosts without exception, and they are all the top ninjas of the kingdom of ghosts, or the elite of the middle ninja.

As the elite ninjas carefully cultivated by the army of the ghost country, they take the lead in every battle on the battlefield and charge at the forefront of the battlefield. Therefore, they are specially awarded such heavy ninjas to better protect themselves.

What is directly proportional to their equipment is the crisis they encounter on the front line, which is far more dangerous than other ninjas.

In the sky, there are also buzzing flying ninjas, and about dozens of such flying ninjas fly through the sky.

On the dark and deep sea, two steel structures slowly revealed their bodies under the moonlight.

Flying ninjas kept taking off from above and flew into the land of the land of fire.

The so-called defense and portal, in front of such a march, seem to be just a mass of air, and there is no sense of existence at all.

The troops on the road entered the land of Fire Land one after another, and the troops on the bridge were still surging forward like a black tide. At first glance, it was almost invisible.

Armored vehicles are also pressing on the land one after another, like tireless steel monsters.

It's like deliberately showing your presence in front of the stronghold where Konoha Ninja is stationed, passing by very eye-catchingly under the lights of the stronghold.

Standing on the high platform, the Konoha ninjas on duty, looking into the distance, seemed to have seen nothing or heard anything, and concentrated on watching the movement on the sea.

Their unsmiling expressions, straight waists, and professional movements of taking out military binoculars to check the movement of the sea from time to time all show how dedicated they are here and how they fulfill the important task of guarding the port assigned to them by their superiors.

Their expressions also tell others that as long as they have breath, they will not allow any enemy to sneak into the land of Fire Nation from under their noses, threatening the safety of Konoha and the fifth alliance army.

"Send a regular contact to Mr. Hai Yi at the headquarters of the Alliance Army, and say that everything is normal here, and no enemies have been found."

Konoha Ninja, who was wearing a Jnin uniform and forehead protector with the word 'nin', turned his head and said to the members of the patrol team next to him.

"yes."

The Chunin who was ordered went down and made regular contact with the Alliance Army headquarters.

From the beginning to the end, the Konoha ninjas had no communication with the unknown troops outside the stronghold. They seemed to be unable to see the existence of each other, and they just completed their tasks faithfully.

that is it.
