MTL - The Life of a Villain Starting From Naruto-Chapter 229 The battle between water and fire and the war of destruction in Kirigakure
Chapter 229 The battle between water and fire and the battle of Kirigakure’s destruction
Hi Xiangye is a born ninja.
Put aside all philosophical definitions, realistically speaking, there is always only one word for an excellent ninja - strong!
Psychological quality, mastery of ninjutsu, whether the body is strong enough, the speed of refining chakra...
Whether it is relying on talent or uninterrupted hard work, Ri Xiangye is a genius who "reaches ninety points in every latitude".
Even, his learning ability is also very good.
Following the reinforcements all the way east, he accompanied Uchiha Shisui while observing the behavior of the ANBU minister.
Personnel deployment plan, emergency decision-making, frequency of contact with the rear... The 15-year-old Uchiha Shisui has already shocked the ninja world with the name of [Shunbo]. His political status and combat level are among the top three in Konoha. He is a real big shot and very capable.
Hyuga absorbs the night like a sponge. If the Hyuga clan is still glorious, the clan elders responsible for teaching will teach a lot of knowledge. However, now Hinata is in decline after all, and many things can only be "stealed" shamelessly.
Uchiha Shisui could see the boy's thoughts. He deliberately said a few more words about many things, breaking the truth into pieces so that the boy could understand it more directly.
Ri Xiangye is not stupid, so he naturally understands the minister's intention to fulfill his wishes. However, except for his relatively good talent, he doesn't have anything valuable, so he just keeps his head down, studies harder, and keeps this kindness in his heart. .
Because this time, Konoha's reinforcements have only one mission, which is to assist the frontline army, break through the last defensive position of the Kingdom of Water, and destroy Kirigakure!
The five major ninja villages, the five major powers, and the balance of the ninja world have lasted for nearly sixty years. However, maybe in three days, this seemingly stable situation will become a thing of the past.
However, there was not much fatigue on the faces of these Konoha ninjas, but rather a strange excitement.
Two years ago, in the 55th year of Konoha, the fifth-generation Mizukage Kito Mangetsu was controlled by Zetsu. He first sealed the three tails to himself, and then went to Konoha to cause trouble. In the end, everyone and the beast were killed in the Land of Fire.
At the beginning, both sides of the water and fire maintained relative restraint. Kirigakure only wanted to get back the body of Oniden Mangetsu, and Konoha did not press forward and handed over the body immediately after negotiation.
After the sixth generation Mizukage Terumi Mei took power, the seeds of hatred grew bigger and bigger, and finally broke out and bore the fruit called war.
They certainly have reason to be excited.
No one expected that things could develop to this point.
The people in Kirigakure who followed them saw everything clearly that night. Although they did not explode on the spot due to Konoha's combat power, the seeds of hatred were planted after all.
But what followed was a series of unexpected events.
In fact, there are still different opinions in the ninja world about the cause of the "War of Water and Fire".
The reinforcements set out from the village gate and advanced at a rapid march, resting in batches. It was more strenuous than ordinary wars.
The team escorting the corpse all disappeared, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Fire stationed in the Kingdom of Water suffered a mental breakdown, the ANBU of Konoha discovered the secret messages between Kirigakure and Kumogakure Iwagakure, and the sixth generation Mizukage Terumi Mei was assassinated...
Unexpected incidents continue to stir up the nerves of the two ninja villages. Even if someone is vaguely aware that there may be a hand hidden in the dark that is stirring up the storm, there is no evidence after all, and the hatred of each ninja village towards the other has reached its limit. , I can’t be comforted no matter what.
So, the war broke out in the early spring of the 56th year of Konoha. From the beginning of a tug-of-war to test each other for aggression, to the later fierce battles where large armies collided, this war of water and fire has lasted for a year and a half.
The situation has become completely clear in Konoha's 57th year.
Konoha continued to extinguish Kirigakure's effective forces like a fierce lion, and the battle line rolled over from Yuno Country all the way to the northeast.
The Kingdom of Water was retreating steadily, and the Kingdom of Fire spent huge sums of money to build warships. The Konoha ninjas boarded the ships and crossed the sea, penetrated into the Kingdom of Water, and marched towards Kirigakure Village.
Last month, Kirigakure's elders sent a secret letter asking for peace. The tone was extremely humble, promising great benefits, and only asking the Fire Nation to stop the tightening death pincers.
However, Konoha did not give up.
The fifth generation Hokage Orochimaru, the former third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the ANBU Minister Uchiha Shisui, and the leaders of the major ninja clans all agreed that it would be foolish to stop the war at this time.
— Kirigakure and Konoha have become mortal enemies.
Goju Yagura and Onito Mangetsu died at the hands of Konoha one after another. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen and thousands of Kirigakure ninjas... most of these people who formed the backbone of the Kingdom of Water also died at the hands of Konoha's kunai. .
Even in the first three ninja wars, Kirigakure did not lose so many precious bonds, not to mention that these people were killed by one village in Konoha. The chains of hatred tightly entangled the two ninja villages and could not be resolved. .
Since it can’t be resolved, let’s just kill him completely!
With this idea in mind, Konoha squeezed out the last remaining strength in the village and formed a reinforcement force to go to the Kingdom of Water.
The speed of soldiers is valuable. In the decisive battle to destroy Kirigakure, the speed requirements are even higher.
To destroy Kirigakure and break the balance of the five countries and five villages, other powerful forces will inevitably come to interfere. In order to prevent other countries from intervening, Konoha must concentrate its efforts to destroy Kirigakure first. When the time comes, it will have the initiative, whether it is carving up the country of water. Whether it was negotiation or anything else, the Fire Nation was in an invincible position.
It is precisely because of this that Ri Xiangye wants to show his face in this decisive battle and regain the reputation of the Byakugan clan.
Konoha is now fighting more and more fiercely, almost showing a crushing force on the battlefield. Every ninja clan will send people to perform meritorious deeds. Although Hinata is in decline, it is not dead, and it cannot really be a tortoise.
What's more, Kirigakure is a powerful ninja village after all, not a lamb to be slaughtered. In the "Water and Fire War" for a year and a half, many Konoha ninjas were killed by Kirigakure. Many more names were added to the village's commemorative monument. Hinata didn't show her face from beginning to end, which is really unjustifiable.
The rapid march lasted for a day and a half. Uchiha Shisui took the lead and led the reinforcements through the border of the Land of Fire and other small countries of Ker, and soon reached the coastline.
Here, large ships docked on the shore.
The Kingdom of Water is a huge isolated island. Ninjas can walk on the water, but at such a long distance, even if they can really run to the battlefield, there will not be much chakra left. During the war between water and fire, the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Fire allocated funds to build many A warship used by Konoha ninjas to swim across the sea.
“Take a rest for half an hour.” Uchiha Shisui chatted with the person in charge of the ship for a few words, then turned around and said:
“The form of the Kingdom of Water is very complicated. Although our army is attacking Kirigakure’s last line of defense, we cannot rule out that the enemy has some weird back-ups.”
“A quarter of an hour to rest, a quarter of an hour to familiarize yourself with sea navigation, and arrive at the front battlefield before the sun sets to meet the Third Generation.”
