MTL - Escape From Konoha-v6 Chapter 198 sunset
"Long time no see, Master Shiraishi."
Lin's work was very fast. Within ten minutes, the pharmacist No Naiyu and pharmacist Dou who had returned to the ghost country were brought to the laboratory to meet Shiraishi.
"It's true that I haven't seen you for a while. Judging by your complexion, the travel during this period should be well planned."
Shiraishi nodded, glanced quickly at No Naoyu's young and gentle face, and said.
If you don't know what Nonoyu is like, you might think that she is a witch who is harmless to humans and animals.
But unfortunately, some things, once experienced, cannot be shaken off.
She was absorbed into the roots of Konoha since she was a child, learned all kinds of espionage and medical knowledge, and has long been used to disguising her original face. This is almost an instinct engraved in her body, and has nothing to do with her own will.
It's like a ninja who is often active on the battlefield. Once he returns to a peaceful life and stops working as a ninja, it will take a long time to adapt to daily life, and there will be some war stress reactions more or less.
No Naiyu is used to the life of a spy, even if he doesn't have to do spy work now, he is still good at disguising.
In this regard, it seems that the same is true of the medicine master who followed behind her.
Although the two are not related by blood, standing together, they look like a pair of real mother and son, carved out of the same mold.
"It should be okay." Nonaiyu smiled slightly, apart from the smile on her expression, she couldn't see anything else: "Then, Master Baishi specially asked me and Dou to come here at this time, do you have something to ask? "
No Naoyu didn't think that his boss, Shiraishi, would ask him to come over for no reason.
Now the situation in the ninja world is very unstable. The Akatsuki organization was exposed to the foreground, causing panic in many countries. Konoha was attacked, Yunyin Yawei was stolen, and Kirigakure also seemed to have problems... Especially the news that the Five Kages Conference is about to be held, was also revealed.
A storm of change has arrived.
In this chaotic situation, Shiraishi, as the military leader of the ghost country, has no easy burden on him.
"There are some things to deal with. The main purpose is to ask your adopted son some questions."
Shiraishi did not deny it, and stated his purpose for summoning the two of them.
After hearing this, Dou raised his eyebrows. As for Baishi, what he learned was limited to the information on paper, but such things as paper information often have some discrepancies with the reality.
"Do you want to ask about Master Orochimaru?"
Dou quickly realized what it was.
Although he is now barely assigned to the Oni Nation's military due to Nonoyu's reasons, he still has a certain degree of awe for the deceased old master Orochimaru.
Bai Shi gave him an appreciative look. The other party's brain was extremely smart, and he could deduce the reason just based on his words.
"That's right."
"However, I remember that the kingdom of ghosts should have stolen all the achievements of Oshemaru-sama, and there should be nothing I need to add."
Dou was puzzled by this, and looked at Shiraishi suspiciously.
"The three caves of the cunning rabbit, the things that surface on the surface are often abandoned. The really important things are not necessarily recorded on paper. Maybe the kingdom of ghosts has mastered 99% of the results of Orochimaru, but there are still 99% of the results. One, wandering uncontrollably outside the intelligence system of the Kingdom of Ghosts."
Shiraishi said so.
"Then, what Master Shiraishi wants to know is..."
Dou became curious about this, with an enthusiastic smile on his face.
Obviously, the Kingdom of Ghosts also failed to grasp the remaining one percent of Orochimaru.
"What do you know about polar particles?"
Shiraishi asked directly.
"Extreme particles..." Dou thought for a while, frowned and said: "I seem to have heard about this from Master Orochimaru. It seems to be a mysterious space substance that has a very powerful boosting effect on Chakra. Master Orochimaru also Take this very seriously and don't allow anyone to touch it."
"Three-tails and Six-tails of Kirigakure Village were taken away by Akatsuki's leader, Nagato, and the battle ended almost instantly. According to the information I got, Nagato defeated Sanwei and Six-tails Jinchuriki by using the polar particles. a special substance."
Baishi's words surprised Ye Naiyu and Dou.
"Master Shiraishi means..."
"Extreme particles have other uses besides increasing chakra, such as blocking the chakra of Jinzhuli."
Shiraishi said with certainty.
"This..." A look of shock appeared on Dou's face, hesitating: "Master Orochimaru has never mentioned it to me, and I haven't paid much attention to the matter of polar particles. The organization secretly researched a lot of things, which are not recorded in the data files."
"Really? That's a pity."
Shiraishi sighed.
Although I already knew the answer, I was still disappointed because I couldn't find a breakthrough from the pocket.
"Master Shiraishi, is this important?"
Nonoyu asked.
"If my guess is true, and Nagato has a secret weapon against Jinchuriki, then the security of Jinchuriki will be greatly reduced. This is not a good thing for us."
Considering the importance of the Tailed Beast, Lin, who could have joined the battle, at this time Baishi also needs to consider whether the opponent will become one of the fighting forces at that time.
"But forget it, it's too early to think about this now. Now that the situation is deadlocked, we still have time to prepare."
】
Shiraishi said so.
The current situation is very obvious. The Xiao organization, which was forced to come to the stage, can no longer fish in troubled waters like in the past, but needs to face the pressure from other big powers.
It is true that the tens of thousands of Baijue and the equally large dragon beast army looked fierce and powerful enough to take down a big country head-on.
But there are three big countries surrounding the Kingdom of Rain.
Yunyin is also actively mobilizing troops to cooperate with the three villages of Konoha, Shayin, and Yanyin.
Perhaps these villages cannot concentrate all their forces in a short period of time, but it is by no means a problem to gather 10,000 to 20,000 ninjas.
At that time, if the Land of Rain is used as the battlefield, even if Yuyin succeeds in blocking it, a fierce battle will destroy the entire Land of Rain.
The land of the Rain Country is not only small, but also surrounded by enemies, there is no deep strategic space at all.
Once a major war breaks out, it will be a full-scale war, and there is no room for buffering.
During this period, the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Fire have begun to evacuate border residents and station large-scale ninja troops to complete pre-war mobilization.
These big countries are also waiting, waiting for the establishment of the alliance and the operation of the entire national machine.
The seemingly imminent battle turned out to be in a weird state of balance for a short time because both sides were in the stage of accumulating power.
However, how long can this fragile balance fulcrum last under the confrontation of all parties?
For this, Shiraishi needs to put a question mark.
◎
September 25.
In the surrounding area with the Kingdom of Rain as the core, the atmosphere of this confrontation has become more tense as time goes by.
Sand Yin sent 6,000 more ninjas to the eastern border of the Land of Wind, Yan Yin stationed 6,500,000 ninjas on the southeastern border of the Land of Earth, and Konoha deployed 5,000 ninjas to the western border of the Land of Fire. If you don’t count the 3,000 cloud ninjas who have already landed from the country of rivers, there are at least 17,000 ninjas concentrated in the three villages of Konoha, Sandin, and Iwain. Counting Yun Yin, the concentrated ninja force has exceeded 20,000.
Almost like catching a turtle in an urn, they surrounded the Kingdom of Rain and blocked all the passages in and out of the Kingdom of Rain, in an attempt to completely block the roads from the Kingdom of Rain to the outside world in this way.
And the Baijue and Dragon Beast Legion that appeared in the Kingdom of Rain were also divided into four troops, and spread out evenly towards the Kingdom of Rain, confronting the troops from various villages. Both hostile parties are restraining and will not detonate this flammable battle until the order from the superior comes.
"The kages of each village have already left, and their destination is the Iron Country, where they plan to hold the Five Kages Conference."
After Heijue returned to Yuyin Village, he immediately came to the central tower that was filled with wind and rain, and reported the matter to Xiaonan with a solemn tone.
Obviously, the convening of the Five Kages Conference has put a lot of pressure on it.
The current balance is caused by the lack of preparation of all parties, and there is a fulcrum as a balance to adjust, but once the Five Kages Conference is over, this balance fulcrum will immediately lose its effect.
The 20,000 ninjas deployed around the Land of Rain are not only to prevent Ukage from making a surprise attack, but also to allow the Five Kages Conference to be held smoothly without interference from external factors.
"Where is the kingdom of ghosts?"
Xiao Nan asked.
"Yanyin and Yunyin's invitation letters have been sent. Although they haven't seen them leave yet, I think they will not miss this grand event."
Hei Jue looked very rational.
Although he very much hoped that the Oni Nation would reject the Five Kages Conference this time, so that the pressure on the Akatsuki organization would be much less, but such a good thing can only be thought about.
According to his guess, the probability of Ghost Kingdom participating in the talks is as high as 90%.
Seeing Xiaonan's silence, Heijue continued to add: "Forcing the Akatsuki organization to come to the stage, the preliminary plan of the Ghost Kingdom has been completed, and if there is no accident, they will use the Five Kages Conference to make a fuss. This point, yes It would be deadly for us."
It's just that such an alliance cannot be stopped by the Akatsuki organization.
Not only Heijue understands this point, but Xiaonan also understands it very well.
The purpose of the Five Kages Conference this time is very clear, it is to urge the countries to form an alliance, eliminate the potential threat of Yuyin, and take back their tailed beasts.
War is inevitable.
"Are you planning to go to the scene to sabotage their negotiations?"
Konan asked, frowning.
"No, it was meaningless to disrupt their negotiations in the past. Their purpose was to form an alliance against us. However, we need to settle some things before fighting."
Hei Jue's eyes were dim.
"What?"
"Civilians in the Kingdom of Rain. They have no combat capabilities. Once a war breaks out, they will definitely die, and none of them can escape. And because of their existence, we may not be able to fight with all our strength to protect them, resulting in the failure of the battle. "
Hei Jue simply stated a cruel reality.
The Kingdom of Rain was surrounded by the four villages, and all exits were blocked. It was not only Bai Jue and the Dragon Beast Legion who were trapped within the borders of the country, but also more than a million ordinary people.
If they are not transferred out, when the flames of war burn throughout the Land of Rain, there will be absolutely no one who can survive.
After listening, Xiao Nan frowned even tighter.
This question is also what worries her the most.
If Yuyin and Xiao have any weaknesses, this is their biggest weakness.
"Heijue, don't get me wrong, neither I nor Nagato will give up on them. These people are the foundation of the Kingdom of Rain."
Xiao Nan looked directly at Hei Jue's emotionless eyes, and said firmly.
"I understand, but we don't have much time left. We need to arrange this matter before the end of the Five Shadows Conference, otherwise..."
When Hei Jue said this, he stopped talking, but the meaning was already very obvious.
Once the Five Kages Conference is over, it means that the major powers have reached an alliance, and it will be too late to take action at that time.
But now, there are only two days left before the Five Shadows Conference is held.
"This matter... I will mention it to Nagato."
Xiao Nan took a deep breath, knowing that if this matter is not handled properly, it will bring irreversible consequences to the Land of Rain, so it must be treated with caution.
Thinking of this, Xiaonan couldn't help contacting Nagato again, trying to complete the migration of the people of the Land of Rain before the end of the Five Kages Conference.
◎
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun began to sink, and the light and heat were not as strong as at noon.
Onoki, who received feedback from the shadows of the villages, is now leading the entourage and gathering at the main entrance of Yan Yin.
Except for Anbu, a unit hidden in the dark, there are a male and a female ninja accompanying Ohnoki.
The former is nearly two meters tall, strong and powerful, with a very prominent tuanzi nose. He is the elite Jonin Akato of Yanyin Village. Known for his strange power and earth escape technique, he is also one of Tsuchikage Onoki's favorite disciples.
The latter has a slender figure, average height, and short jet-black hair. She looks like a young girl no older than twenty years old. Like Akatsuki, she is also an elite jōnin of Yanyin Village—Kuroto.
In addition to her identity as a jounin, she is also the granddaughter of Tsuchikage Onogi, one of the few genius ninjas in Iwakage who can create their own blood successor boundaries.
Although Chitu and Kuroto can be said to have shallow qualifications compared to Iwagakure's majority of Jōnin, but in terms of strength, they can be regarded as powerful among Jōnin. Whether it is in terms of relationship or ability, Onogi has given a high level of trust to the two. This time participating in the Five Shadows Conference, bringing two people with them also shows the importance they attach to them.
Especially as the latter's granddaughter, Heitu, who can create her own blood succession boundary when she is only a teenager. Once this ability develops, in Onoki's view, it is only a matter of time before she surpasses her father Huangtu, and she may be able to move towards a higher level. It is not impossible to sprint to the position of earth shadow.
"Huang Tu, the government affairs of the village will be left to you for the time being. Don't make any mistakes for the old man."
"Don't worry, I will pay attention, father."
Huang Tu solemnly nodded and made a serious promise to Onomu.
"Oh, Dad, you're still the same. It's good to relax your body a little bit. It's not good to be too serious. Right, old man?"
Regarding his father Huang Tu's more genuine personality, Heitu patted him on the shoulder and talked about it, and then turned his head and asked Onogi with a smile.
"Hei Tu, don't be so rude, your frizzy personality also needs to be changed."
Onoki glared at this granddaughter who was neither big nor young. It was all because of his past spoiling that the other party developed such a strong personality that lost dignity, and now he wanted to correct it, but he felt it was too late.
"Speaking of which, there is still no reply from Ghost Kingdom?"
Onoki looked at the loess.
The Five Kages Conference is about to be held. As the Five Kages, they have unified their voices and responded to Iwagakushi in agreement.
But only the country of ghosts, after the invitation letter was sent, there was no reply, so Onoki didn't know what the country of ghosts was doing.
Huang Tu shook his head and said, "I haven't seen the reply from over there yet, maybe I forgot to reply. After all, they won't miss such an important meeting."
"That's why I hate the little ghosts now. They don't know how to respect the old and love the young at all." Ohnoki snorted, obviously dissatisfied with the attitude of the ghost kingdom, "That's how it is, they don't come, don't worry about that side Alright, let's go."
After finishing speaking, Onogi Kazuma turned around first and set off in the opposite direction of the main entrance.
"Then, Dad, I'll leave it to you to take care of the village. We'll be back soon, bye."
Hei Tu beckoned, and followed Onoki's footsteps to the Iron Country.
"I've been there too, Huangtu Jonin. I will protect Master Tukage and Kuroto during the meeting."
Chitu politely nodded to Huangtu, and followed Da Yemu and Heitu.
◎
dusk.
Konoha, the main entrance.
Tsunade also summoned his staff and assembled at the main entrance.
Accompanied by Konoha Ikacho's trio of 'Pig' and 'Cho', Yamanaka Kaiichi and Akimichi Choza, besides this, another quota was given for Naruto as Jinchuriki. Accompanied by others, they went to the Iron Country to participate in the five shadow talks.
"Really, Granny Tsunade, why do you even have to go with me?"
Naruto, who had just been out of the hospital for two days, lacked interest in the Five Kage talks.
"I don't want to do this either, but the enemy may target you at any time now. If you are in the village, the village will be attacked again. It will be safer to bring you to the Five Kages Conference."
Tsunade patiently explained.
Naruto crossed his arms and could only reluctantly accept this explanation.
"Okay, Naruto, don't be self-willed. Hokage-sama is also for your own good. The village has not recovered yet, but it can't stand another toss. Moreover, according to the information revealed by Yunyin and Wuyin, it seems that It seems that Renzhuli on their side has also been attacked. Your current situation is more dangerous than before, and you have been staying in one place, which is easy to be found."
Haiyi patted Naruto on the shoulder, and said with a serious face.
After Naruto heard this, his heart also shivered, and he felt a sudden sense of crisis.
"I remember that Akatsuki seems to have obtained four-headed and tailed beasts before..."
"That's right, if the information from Yun Yin and Wu Yin is correct, then Akatsuki has obtained a total of seven tailed beasts. In other words, now except for the nine tails in your body and the missing seven tails, the enemy has collected all the tailed beasts. It’s all set. If the enemy starts to move again next time, you will become their focus, and even Konoha will fall into crisis.”
Naruto shut his mouth obediently after hearing this.
He doesn't have any idea about tailed beasts like before. Even a single creature of this kind of creature that transcends common sense can bring an unparalleled deterrent force, and the Akatsuki organization has gathered more than half of the tailed beasts. It's chilling.
Ignoring Haiyi who was comforting Naruto, Tsunade said seriously to the two standing in front of him:
"While I'm away, I will entrust you two to take care of the affairs of the village."
In addition to Nara Shikuhisa, the Jonin squad leader who has been helping him all the time, the other is an old man over seventy years old-Akimichi Tekkaze.
Within half a year, Konoha was attacked twice in a row, which greatly reduced Konoha's prestige and made many villagers lose trust and sense of security in the village's senior management.
Therefore, due to Konoha's current crisis situation, Tsunade also had to invite this respected senior Konoha to serve as a temporary consultant to stabilize the floating hearts of the village at this time.
"Don't worry, Hokage-sama, since it's for the sake of the village, I will do my best."
Qiu Dao Fufeng nodded. Although his body was old and he was no longer as powerful as he was in his prime, his face still looked very energetic, giving people a sense of aging.
While responding to Tsunade, his gaze also glanced at Naruto's face, as if he was also curious about this Jinchuriki who repelled powerful enemies for Konoha.
Lu Jiu nodded in the same way, as a response to Tsunade's request.
With the assistance of Qiudao Takfeng, his senior, his next workload should be much easier.
"I believe in your ability to handle affairs. If there is nothing to explain, then I will set off here."
Tsunade felt that the time was almost up. If he set off at this time, he could arrive at the Iron Country a few hours earlier.
"By the way, I have one more thing to tell Naruto." Lu Jiu looked at Naruto.
"Huh? Me?"
Naruto pointed at himself.
"Yes, the participants of the Five Kages Conference this time, besides Hokage-sama, are the Five Kages, as well as Chiba Shiraishi, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Ghost Kingdom. I know that you have strong hostility towards the other party because of some things, but I I still hope that you can restrain yourself when the time comes, and don't disrupt the normal convening of the meeting, let alone provoke that man, he is very dangerous."
Lu Jiu solemnly warns Naruto.
On the one hand, this five shadows conference is an important platform for the great powers to unite. Although it has not yet officially started, Lu Jiu can already guess what will be discussed during this five shadows conference. Therefore, it is best not to mention irrelevant matters, otherwise it will disturb the order of the conference, cause dissatisfaction among the remaining shadows, and easily leave a bad impression on the ninjas in other villages.
On the other hand, the kingdom of ghosts is powerful. Even if Naruto is very strong, if he really takes action, he will probably ask for trouble, which will hit Konoha's prestige and make people talk.
"...I see, Uncle Lujiu, I will pay attention and won't mess around there."
Looking at Lu Jiu, Naruto agreed to Lu Jiu's request.
"Then, I wish you all the best of luck on this trip, let's set off quickly."
Lu Jiu smiled and nodded.
"Set off."
Tsunade simply greeted and led everyone towards the Iron Country.
Watching Tsunade and the others leave, Shikajiu saw Akimichi Torikaze staring at the direction where Tsunade and the others were leaving~www.novelbuddy.com~ he couldn't help but smile and asked:
"Why, Elder Qufeng, are you worried about this Five Shadows Conference?"
"No, that's not the case. This time the Five Kages Conference is over, and most countries will form an alliance army to deal with the Akatsuki organization, but after that, there will be a tragic war far surpassing the previous Ninja World Wars. At that time, the memorial tablet will be engraved with Countless new names."
Qiu Dao took Feng's eyes deep and deep, as if he had a premonition of this future.
Immediately, a hearty smile appeared on his old wrinkled face, sweeping away the gloom in his eyes.
"Speaking of which, the original six people, in the blink of an eye, only Danzo and I were left alive. Whether it was Jing, Ri Zhan, or Xiaochun, they all left one by one. Maybe... now it's the old man's turn I died for Konoha and turned into the last 'butterfly'..."
In the light of the setting sun, a fiery red color was reflected on the face of Qiudao Qufeng, bursting out the last vitality of life.
Responding to the autumn road taking the wind, it was Lu Jiu's incomparably long silence, looking at the sunset in the distance in silence.
