Escape From Konoha

Kumogakure, Raikage's office.

After the fourth Raikage finished today's weight training, he placed the surprisingly heavy barbell on the ground, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and the sweat from the exercise appeared on his angular face.

"Lord Raikage, this is a frontline battle report about the Alliance Army. Since Kumogakure did not join it, the information in some places is missing and the records are incomplete."

After the training of the Fourth Raikage was completed, Secretary Mabui respectfully handed over the battle report document in his hand for the Fourth Raikage to review.

The Fourth Raikage wiped his face, neck, and arms with a wet towel, then took the battle report document and browsed through it casually.

"The military power of the Kingdom of Demons is indeed not that simple. These guys in Konoha are really shooting themselves in the foot."

The Fourth Raikage snorted lightly, saying so, but the various news in the battle report still surprised him, the Raikage.

It is easy to say that one enemy is four. If it were Kumogakure, under the first round of attack by the Four Nations Allied Forces, there might not be room for counterattack, and they would have to continuously lose ground and compress their own living space.

However, Ghost Country does exactly this, and does it beautifully.

Konoha's assault force is stranded in the Bear Country, facing a dilemma. If there is no follow-up support, this assault force will sooner or later be trapped and die in the Bear Country, with no survivors.

The Iwagakure offensive was stopped at the border of Oni Country. If this trend continues, it will be difficult for Iwagakure to achieve much results on the frontal battlefield.

Kirigakure, under the leadership of the Fourth Mizukage, successfully defeated the vanguard of the Demon Country and advanced steadily in the western waters of the Demon Country. This surprised the Fourth Raikage and could not help but feel fearful of the power of the Kirigakure ninjas.

Sunagakure overthrew the Demon Kingdom stronghold in the northwest of the Wind Kingdom, and started a tepid confrontation with the Demon Kingdom. After that, there was no further progress, leaving people confused as to what Sunagakure's Kazekage was doing.

"There are rumors that Feng Ying has left the front line, but the source and credibility of this information are somewhat questionable. After all, at such a critical moment, Feng Ying cannot leave the front line regardless of the overall situation."

Mabuyi expressed her opinion at this time.

Since Kumogakure has not joined the Alliance Army, it is difficult for Kumogakure to obtain detailed information about the internal situation.

Just obtaining this information took away a lot of Yunyin's strength.

The Fourth Raikage nodded. His views were consistent with Mabui's, but these were just speculations. They had no way of knowing what exactly happened in Sunagakure.

"Continue to send people to observe the trends of this war. I have a hunch that if the Four Nations Alliance Army wants to successfully win this war, the result may not be as expected."

Raikage's face showed a cautious expression.

Among the ninja villages of the great country, the Fourth Raikage believed that Kumogakure was the village that analyzed the military power of the Kingdom of Demons most rigorously and seriously.

It was precisely based on this understanding that he felt that it would be an extremely wrong decision for an alliance army that could not achieve the goal of 'unification' to rashly start a war with the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Nominally, it is to sanction the Kingdom of Demons, restrict the activities of the Kingdom of Demons in various parts of the ninja world, and shout the slogans of justice and peace. However, the four ninja villages each have their own agenda and cannot truly trust each other.

As long as there is a mistake in one link, the fragile trust bond of the Alliance Army may fall apart.

The Alliance Army seems to be powerful, but there are various internal conflicts that are difficult to reconcile. In the final analysis, they are still fighting on their own.

"Isn't this...impossible?"

Mabuyi said this.

"The direction of this war is difficult to control, and any kind of bizarre things may happen. From an overall perspective, the Alliance Army has a slight upper hand, but I feel that the counterattack of the Ghost Country will not end here. Judging from the previous series of actions of the Kingdom of Ghosts, their ninja troops have very strong maneuverability and are equipped with various powerful firearms to assist them, which can deter the enemy's offensive to a certain extent. Compared with the alliance forces fighting on their own, Although the Kingdom of Ghosts is fighting alone, it is completely unified internally..."

In the eyes of the Fourth Raikage, the advantages and disadvantages of the Alliance Army and the Demon Country are very obvious.

The two sides are now in a stalemate on the frontline battlefield, and they urgently need a powerful force to completely break the deadlock and completely revitalize their own chess pieces on the chessboard.

However, since he is not an insider of the Alliance Army, the Fourth Raikage cannot know what strategies the Alliance Army and the Kingdom of Demons plan to adopt to revitalize their chess pieces.

In the Kingdom of Thunder, there are valleys filled with cold mist.

One tall figure and one short figure sit in the cave, maintaining the posture of forming a seal and closing their eyes.

I don't know how much time passed before the two of them opened their eyes, and one of them revealed a pair of red Sharingan eyes.

Both of them were wearing black coats with red clouds and engraved rings on their fingers. They were Itachi and Kisame.

Kisame was the first to stand up, brushing off the wrinkles on his clothes, and put the big sword behind his back again.

He bared his fangs and laughed:

"I didn't expect that we would have to leave immediately after arriving in the Kingdom of Thunder before we even started our mission. Things are so unpredictable. Don't you think so, Itachi?"

"Don't mess around, Kisame. After all, they are our companions, and their safety is more important than the mission. I think this is what the leader expressed at the meeting."

Itachi just sighed at Kisame's teasing remarks.

Since the core members of the organization, Scorpion and Deidara, lost contact in the Kingdom of Wind, after the meeting just now, he and Kisame will go to the Kingdom of Wind to investigate the situation of Scorpion and Deidara.

You want to see people when you are alive, and you want to see corpses when you die.

As core members, Scorpion and Deidara know too many secrets of the organization. Even if something unexpected happens to them in the Kingdom of Wind, they must ensure that their secrets are not captured by outsiders, causing the organization's intelligence to be leaked.

"No matter what it means, he is a superior who likes to boss people around. After finally sneaking into the Kingdom of Thunder, we were just about to start searching for the whereabouts of the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki, and now we are asked to go to the Kingdom of Wind..."

Kisame complained, the volume was not low, and Itachi could clearly feel the displeasure in Kisame's heart.

Thinking about it, they spent a lot of effort to avoid the sight of Kumogakure ninjas in the Kingdom of Thunder. However, when they arranged everything, their superiors asked them to put down everything they were doing and sneak into the Kingdom of Wind to find the organization. members’ whereabouts. Such an order will indeed make people who are impatient feel irritable.

Kisame is exactly the type of person who lacks patience.

"Furthermore, the Sand Ninja from the Kingdom of Wind are in conflict with the Kingdom of Ghosts. If you go there, a battle may happen at any time. I hope this mission can end soon. If someone gets entangled, things will be in trouble."

Itachi also agreed with Kisame's words.

The ninja battlefield is undoubtedly a very dangerous place.

Although the scale of the war has not spread to the entire Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Wind must have been under martial law by the Sand Ninjas at this moment. Just sneaking in quietly will take a lot of effort. When the news cannot be delivered, it is not easy to find Scorpion and Deidara from the huge Kingdom of Wind.

"There is nothing we can do about it, but Black Zetsu went to Kirigakure to investigate the whereabouts of Vulpix. The other colleagues have their own matters, and we are the only two who can go out. Let's go and finish the matter as soon as possible."

Itachi put the bamboo hat with the wind chime on his head and walked out of the cave.

Kisame followed, and his figure quickly disappeared in the thick fog outside the cave, leaving only the clear and sweet sound of wind chimes.

The earth is silvery white.

Although the wind and snow have subsided, the air is still extremely cold.

A rapid march consisting of two thousand Konoha ninjas was running at high speed across the borders of the Bird Country. It was not difficult to see that their direction was pointing directly towards the Bear Country.

It can be guessed that their purpose is to join up with the Konoha ninjas in the eastern part of the Bear Country, and through their numerical superiority, they can establish the battlefield advantage of the Bear Country in one fell swoop and defeat the main force of the Demon Country placed in the Bear Country.

In this way, they can occupy the Bear Country area at full speed, and then directly border the Ghost Country, threatening the local security of the Ghost Country and expanding the alliance's advantage in military operations.

In response to this, the alliance forces led by Konoha have full confidence in this operation.

Not to mention Sunagakure, who was caught in the crisis of missing Jinchuuriki, after containing a main force of the Demon Country, even activating the power of three ninja villages was enough to promote the implementation of this plan and ensure its smooth completion.

As time went by and it came to afternoon, the sky was still gray and there was no obvious sunlight.

A rapid march consisting of two thousand Konoha ninjas was running through the snow-covered forest. They were only a few dozen kilometers away from meeting up with the Konoha ninjas in the eastern part of the Bear Country.

At this moment, a figure passed by the Konoha ninjas in front of the troops without any warning. The speed was so fast that it was difficult for the jounin to clearly distinguish the opponent's movement trajectory, and rushed into the troops.

After a moment of surprise, some ninjas felt something was wrong, stopped suddenly, looked back, and their pupils shrank instantly.

I saw that the trees and snow in front of me were stained red by blood at some point. The Konoha ninjas fell into a pool of blood without responding. Until they died, their eyes showed confusion and confusion. color.

On the snow covered with corpses and blood, a figure stood spotlessly in the middle. The long black hair, red Sharingan, and cold appearance all revealed the other person's identity - Uchiha Ruri!

"Small--"

"Fire Escape·Extinguish Fire!"

boom!

The cold air in the forest was swept away, and the hot fire wave swept away the enemy's voice and body with overwhelming momentum.

The rest of the squadron also reacted similarly. Looking at the sudden fire burning in the forest, they instantly realized that their troops had been attacked by the enemy.

However, before they could take the next step, they stared blankly into the sky.

A dark red samurai whose body instantly overshadowed the towering ancient trees in the forest. A terrifying and ferocious shadow fell directly on the face of the Konoha ninja.

Amid the horrified and shocked expressions of the Konoha ninjas, the dark red samurai raised the chakra sword in his hand and slashed it mercilessly towards the ground.

"Get out of the way!"

One jounin roared in shock.

If you are hit directly by such an attack, you will definitely die.

"Thunder!"

Thunder swept the ground, and the fleeing Konoha ninjas screamed. Their bodies were paralyzed by the thunder and lightning, and they fell to the ground, unable to move.

Turning around, they saw that the chakra giant sword had reached their heads. When they realized that they could only wait to die on the spot, a look of despair could not be suppressed in their eyes.

boom!

The cracks created by the sword light extended deep into the forest, seeming to cut the entire forest in half.

The trees on both sides were also blown away by the storm caused by the blade. The Konoha ninjas who were affected screamed on the snow and were unable to stand.

Standing above Susanoo's head, Ruri had already activated the Mangekyou Sharingan state. His eyes swept across the earth. He turned a deaf ear to these screams and indifferently drove the samurai in an attempt to swing his sword again to further plunge the Konoha ninjas here into panic. In a helpless state.

"Don't even think about succeeding! The art of doubling!"

There was a loud noise behind him.

Carrying a fist that destroyed all strong winds, he hit the Susanoo warrior's back without hesitation.

"Ruolei!"

The ninja of the Akimichi clan who used the doubling technique to become a giant stared wide-eyed. The figures of Ruri and the samurai disappeared from in front of him, and their fists hit the air.

Then, my back felt cold.

As soon as the Akido clan ninja turned around, the dark red light released by the sword shone on his face, and then his consciousness and body lost contact.

Looking at the headless giant in front of him, his body shrunk rapidly, Liuli stopped looking at it. The red Mangekyō Sharingan glanced to the other side, and the sword blade was swung away hard.

"Fire Thunder!"

The blade struck the ground, and the lightning that flew out from the explosion directly hit the bodies of Konoha ninjas who were trying to escape from the battlefield. When they groaned in pain, their bodies stagnated in place, unable to move a step.

The warrior raised his feet and began to stamp on the ground in front of him.

"Damn it, stop it!"

In the distance, a group of Konoha ninjas chased him without fear of life and death. While running, they formed seals and mobilized the chakra in their bodies, trying to restrict Liuli's movements with ninjutsu.

"Thunder!"

The invisible fluctuations centered on the giant warrior and spread to all sides.

The Konoha ninjas who were affected felt as if they had been hit by lightning. Their bodies froze in place for an instant, and their brains seemed to have suffered some terrible impact. They went blank and were unable to think, let alone consciously perform ninjutsu.

Liuli's eyes glanced at him, and he still waved the chakra giant sword with an indifferent expression.

As the sword light swept through the crowd, all the screams and pain fell into silence, and life also fell into nothingness in an instant.

Liuli was like taking a walk in the park after dinner. There was no feeling of enthusiasm or nervousness at all, but she was just relaxed and relaxed.

After all, this is just an ordinary task assigned by my man.

Looking at the Konoha ninjas who fled, Liuli did not pursue them. There was no point in wasting his pupil skills in chasing such people.

Sure enough, it is simply unrealistic for these Konoha ninjas to rush forward in groups without fear of death.

Especially after they clearly understand that struggle and resistance have become meaningless, they will instinctively flee from the battlefield.

"The warm-up is over, now it's time to head to Mt. Miaomu."

Liuli ignored the burning forest and looked at the distant sky, a sharp light flashing in her red eyes.

◎

The lava-burning warrior roared loudly on the snow, like a beast that was in a state of hunger and rampage. He picked up the flame-burning sword and slashed fiercely at the two giant toads in front of him.

"Jian, hold on!"

Gamabunta, who gripped the dagger tightly, began to shout at Takeru, who was struggling.

At the same time, it did not turn the short knife in its hand and aimed at the lava warrior's neck to chop.

"Although...I'm clumsy...but I will try my best!"

Toad Takeru held a pot-lid-shaped shield and withstood each round of slashes from the flaming sword. Blood flowed out of his arms and corners of his mouth due to the strong concussive impact.

When it said this sentence, it gritted its teeth, as if it had exhausted all its strength, and stared at the violent lava warrior in front of it.

On the surrounding snow, countless Konoha ninjas and Demon Country ninjas were fighting fiercely, with both sides suffering casualties.

The sound of shelling has never disappeared from the battlefield since the moment the battle began, and the smoke of war fills every corner of the cold winter land.

The Konoha ninjas who were attacked by the main force of the Kingdom of Demons were undoubtedly caught in a difficult and bitter battle.

A pale figure, holding a long spear wrapped with cloth, flickered on the battlefield like a ghost, paying no attention to the fighting and killing on both sides, and just kept looking for the corpses of dead ninjas.

Like a god of death collecting the souls of the dead.

"Earth Escape·Yellow Spring Marsh!"

The earth turned into a swamp, and Ako's feet suddenly fell into the bottomless swamp and stopped moving.

"What did you do to those dead Konoha ninjas?"

Jiraiya blocked Akako's actions with a gloomy expression, because his behavior was too weird.

The battle has clearly begun, but this guy has no interest in fighting. Instead, he keeps looking for the bodies of dead ninjas on the battlefield.

Intuition told Jiraiya that this kind of behavior must be stopped, otherwise it will inevitably lead to extremely terrible consequences.

Akako, who had returned to his teenage form, glanced at Jiraiya indifferently. With a little effort, he broke free from the shackles of the swamp and ran towards the body.

"Stop!"

Jiraiya wanted to continue to pursue, but a sword light came over and forced Jiraiya back.

"This is not possible, Mr. Jiraiya of the Sannin, your opponent is me, and you don't have time to deal with others now."

Ichihime, holding the Kusanagi sword, came to Jiraiya and stopped him from disturbing Ako.

"Little girl, you are too clingy. Can you tell me what that guy is doing? Instead of fighting, he keeps looking for corpses on the battlefield. It's weird no matter how you look at it."

Jiraiya sighed and asked the question.

"No comment, just stay here."

At the same time as he spoke, Ichiki rushed forward preemptively and aimed his sword at Jiraiya's body without thinking.

Jiraiya's figure disappeared from under the sword blade, jumping high into the air, and his clogs thumped twice in the air.

"Fire Release·Fire Bullet!"

A huge scorching fireball spit out from the mouth and fell towards Yiji on the ground.

Yiji was a little surprised, but did not hesitate. There was a lot of space to dodge, so Yiji chose to dodge the fireball from the right side.

As if Jiraiya knew that Kazuhime would escape from there in advance, he had already placed his hands in the Indian posture.

"Ninpo Technique: The Technique of Random Lion's Hair!"

The pale hair grew long quickly, like ropes wrapped around Yiji's limbs and neck.

The power contained in these hairs was enough to crush the human body, and began to tighten Yiji's slender, swan-like white neck, trying to make her die in the pain of suffocation.

"As expected of Sir Jiraiya, the release of the ninjutsu and the timing of the attack are all just right, without any redundancy."

Yiji smiled slightly, and even in a tightly bound state, she was still able to speak.

"You are the one, little girl. What a monster."

Jiraiya had a smile on his face but not a smile on his face.

The neck obviously looks so slender, as if it will break if it is bent, but it turns out that under the constraints of his ninjutsu that can crush human bones, it can still talk and laugh happily.

Is this really a human body?

"No, it still hurts. Besides, it's so rude to call a lady a monster!"

Yiji frowned slightly. As the restraint around her neck became tighter and tighter, the breathing tube used for ventilation became blocked.

Immediately afterwards, she clenched her hands, and surging power burst out from all parts of her body.

The white hair wrapped around her neck and limbs made a tearing sound.

boom!

With a slight explosion, the white hair wrapped around Yi Ji's body was completely torn apart by her.

Yiji's figure flickered, holding a sword in her right hand, and quickly lifted up her skirt with her left hand, revealing the white thigh flesh between her tight pants and black knee-high socks.

I saw a black belt leg ring wrapped around my thigh. My left hand quickly brushed from the leg ring, and a flintlock gun fell into Ikiji's left hand.

bang bang!

Two bullets flew out, hitting Jiraiya between the eyebrows and chest with great precision.

Jiraiya sped up and ran wildly, narrowly avoiding bullets.

However, Yiji saw through the jump before it hit the ground.

Ichihime raised the Kusanagi sword in her right hand high, used the teleportation technique to close the distance between herself and Jiraiya, and waved the raised Kusanagi sword down ruthlessly.

After Jiraiya landed, he leaned directly backwards, narrowly avoiding the Kusanagi sword's slash.

A strand of hair fell down.

Ichiki was not satisfied with the result, so she picked up the flintlock gun in her left hand, pointed it at Jiraiya's body and fired again.

boom!

The bullet exploded, and the fire immediately engulfed Jiraiya's body.

After the fire and the black smoke of the explosion disappeared, Jiraiya appeared in front of Kazuya unscathed.

The long, hardened white hair surrounded Jiraiya's body, resisting the bombardment of bullets.

"Little girl, although your attack is powerful and fast, your combat experience is still very immature. It is not difficult to see through such a move."

The long white hair began to return to its original shape, Jiraiya maintained the gesture of sealing and said to Kazuo.

"You don't need to remind me of this kind of thing. However, considering how hard you tried to dodge just now, I will reluctantly tell you some good news."

Yiji lifted up her skirt and placed the flintlock on her thigh again, fixing it with a belt-style leg ring.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile of unknown meaning.

And this smile of Ichihime made Jiraiya suddenly feel a bad premonition in his heart.

"Then there is no need to imagine making dumplings with the reinforcements coming from Konoha. They have most likely turned into a pile of corpses on the road. Otherwise, why do you think I would show up at this time, just in time to stop you from leaving? ?”

Jiraiya, who originally had a calm face, finally changed his expression and his eyes were horrified after Kazuhime said these words.

"This is a war initiated by you, but we have the final say when and how the war will end. So, just stay here and don't move."

As if to echo Kazuhime's words, two huge psychic beasts, Gamabunta and Gamaken, who were resisting the lava warriors, screamed and flew out, hitting the huge high wall of the fortress. Two huge potholes immediately appeared. The wall collapsed unsteadily, sending up dust, mist and snow all over the sky.

The Konoha ninjas along the way were also broken up and screamed.

The giant sword in the hands of the lava warrior formed a bow and arrow, and finally turned into a stream of light, rushing into the fortress from the collapsed high wall.

After a moment of stillness, a burst of fire burst into the sky. The light and shadow were distorted in the high-temperature steamer, and the surrounding buildings also disappeared without a trace under the impact.

Looking at the fortress area that was hit and destroyed by the arrow, the Konoha ninja's face suddenly turned pale.

Because that is their main warehouse for storing food, medical and daily supplies.

"Well, the assault mission to destroy the supplies has been successfully completed. Then, I look forward to our next meeting, Mr. Jiraiya. This game has only really begun now."

Ichiki jumped back, and countless Oni Country ninjas also faded away like a tide, evacuating the battlefield.

Leaving a mess behind.
