Escape From Konoha

In the information room, no one was surprised about the arrival of Naruto and Kirabi because the staff of Turtle Island had notified them in advance.

Naruto, Kirabi, and Tenzo came in and found that in addition to the intelligence troops, people from the staff were also gathered here. Even the Five Kages would basically sit here and obtain intelligence troops in a timely manner if they had nothing else to do. received the message and discussed matters with the staff.

"Are you finally back? It seems that the training of the perfect Jinchuuriki has been successfully completed."

Ohnoki's eyes first glanced at Kirabi, and then fell on Naruto, with deep meaning in his eyes.

Sitting quietly aside, the taciturn Third Mizukage also narrowed his eyes and stared at Naruto, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Konoha who had recently become famous.

It is said that he almost defeated the members of the Akatsuki organization who invaded Konoha by one person. He is the son of Konoha's yellow flash. He also has the blood of the Uzumaki clan. With so many identities, it is destined that the opponent's prospects will not be as mediocre as those of ordinary ninjas. Light.

"It's good to come back. Turtle Island has been discovered twice in a row. It may be dangerous to stay any longer."

Terumi Mei came over and said at this time.

"You may not be able to feel at ease here at the headquarters. If Akatsuki's guys attack here directly, it will be troublesome."

Ohnoki didn't think that doing so would completely eliminate the possibility of being attacked by Akatsuki.

Now that Akatsuki has collected six tailed beasts, there are still three that have not been recovered. At this moment, Akatsuki must have paid considerable attention to the two jinchūriki of the alliance.

"How could this happen? Isn't Akatsuki suppressed by our alliance army and the Kingdom of Demons now?"

Tenzo didn't seem to believe that Akatsuki would have the guts to attack the Alliance Army headquarters like this.

Before Ohnoki could speak, the Fourth Raikage glanced at Tenzo sideways and said in a cold voice: "Those White Zetsus and the so-called dragon beasts who entered the battlefield are, in the final analysis, just smoke bombs released by Akatsuki to attract us. A target for firepower. Their real core personnel have not officially entered the scene yet. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that they will bypass the front troops and launch a beheading operation against the Alliance Army, especially since both Bee and Naruto are at the headquarters. Down."

Tenzo remained silent.

As the Fourth Raikage said, whether it is true or not, Akatsuki's public purpose is to obtain all the tailed beasts and launch the 'Infinite Tsukuyomi'. They will not care too much about the loss of one soldier, and they only need to kill the tailed beasts. Control is in hand.

If these White Zetsu and Dragon Beasts could be exchanged for the remaining Tailed Beasts, Akatsuki would probably not even blink an eye if he abandoned them.

"So, will the Alliance Army do anything else next?"

Tenzo asked.

Although the war situation in the Country of Grass has reached a stalemate, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Akatsuki is just stalling for time. Relying on Bai Zetsu and the Dragon Beast Legion, defeat will only happen sooner or later.

The five shadows did not answer. As a staff officer, Shikaku said: "Due to the stalemate in the war and the increasing number of casualties, we have also been considering in the past two days whether we should launch a beheading operation, bypassing the frontal conflict, and use a small group of elites. The troops formed a blade and pierced Akatsuki's heart - Amegakure."

"It's not easy to deal with this kind of thing..."

Tianzang opened his mouth and realized that this tactic was a bit too bold and he was taking the wrong approach.

"There is indeed an element of risk, and it also requires cooperation from the Kingdom of Demons. Otherwise, with the strength of our alliance army, we cannot carry out the beheading operation alone. Moreover, the risk of this tactic is not only the harm to Akatsuki, but also the danger to the Demon Kingdom. country. If a decapitation operation is carried out, the country of ghosts has a greater advantage than us. Once it defeats Akatsuki, the alliance will no longer exist, and then..."

Mabuyi on the side added, frowning tightly.

This tactic is not yet very mature on the staff side and only has a prototype, but if you want to end the war quickly and avoid meaningless consumption, this is one of the best methods.

Unfortunately, the Kingdom of Demons is too powerful, and it has more and stronger top ninjas. After the beheading operation is successful, it will have a head-on conflict with the Kingdom of Demons. Then, the disadvantaged Alliance Army may suddenly be annihilated by the Kingdom of Demons. .

"However, now that Naruto and you are back from Turtle Island, this beheading tactic may be worth trying."

Shikaku glanced back and forth between Naruto and Kirabi before speaking seriously.

"I?"

Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"Before, we didn't have enough combat power here. Even if we gathered the Five Shadows to implement the decapitation tactic, it would be very difficult. But now that you, Kirabi, and Kai have joined us, the success rate has been greatly improved. In terms of security, there are also Relatively adequate protection.”

The deer uses all its limbs together to talk freely.

"Kai? Is that ninja in Konoha who knows the Eight Gates Dungeon? I have indeed heard of his name. I remember that there was a ninja in Konoha who learned the Eight Gates Dungeon in the past, and he severely wounded Uchiha Ruri in the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind. . If this is the case, the decapitation tactic is indeed quite feasible."

Ohnoki thought of something and touched his chin, looking thoughtful.

The battle losses on the front line put pressure on the headquarters, and Bai Jue's various surprise attack tactics also gave them a headache.

Based on this situation, the idea of ​​​​decapitation operation came up.

In this way, not only can most of the strength of the Alliance Army be retained, but the war can also be promoted faster and the Akatsuki problem can be solved once and for all.

"This tactic is too risky and troublesome to formulate, and it also requires cooperation from the Kingdom of Ghosts. Let's get rid of the White Zetsu in the army first, otherwise it will always be a disaster if we keep them."

Tsunade shook her head. Compared with this tactic, which was still in its infancy, dealing with the real problems before her was the top priority.

After listening to Tsunade's words, the other five shadows nodded slightly, knowing that they were a little impatient and wanted to deal with the matter in front of them first.

As for the White Zetsu who sneaked into the army, now that Naruto, who has mastered the power of the Nine-Tails, is here, he can probably be dealt with smoothly.

"Naruto, I'm going to ask you to remove these nails from the Alliance Army."

Tsunade patted Naruto's shoulder.

Naruto nodded seriously and formed seals with his hands.

"Leave it to me, Granny Tsunade."

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

As the smoke exploded, four Naruto clones appeared in front of Naruto. The nine-tailed chakra in the body began to gather, and a golden chakra coat enveloped the whole body. They nodded to each other and disappeared into four golden lights.

"Is that the new ability you get after mastering the Nine-Tails? It does seem interesting. You can feel a very strong power and be formidable."

Ohnoki looked at the direction where the four Naruto shadow clones were leaving, with a sense of emotion in his tone.

Compared to a village with a rich heritage like Konoha, Iwagakure is really lacking in talent.

Deidara, the only one in the new generation who could serve as a Tsuchikage, was now in the Kingdom of Demons. Onoki felt that his blood pressure was starting to rise again.

"Haiichi, capture the movements of Naruto's shadow clones at any time and keep in touch."

At this time, Tsunade looked at Haiichi, who was maintaining the sensory ninjutsu, and gave instructions.

"yes!"

Haiichi is familiar with Naruto's chakra, and can easily capture Naruto's scattered shadow clones through magic techniques, and issue instructions to them to support the frontline troops.

◎

Bird country.

The sun was high in the sky, and the slightly dazzling sunlight fell down. Two small black dots could be seen, slowly sinking, aiming directly at the solid stone fortress below.

Ichiki, who was maintaining the lava warrior clone in her room and patrolling the terrain near the fortress, suddenly sensed something. She opened her eyes suddenly, her figure flickered, and as the glass exploded with a bang, the light-transmitting fragments flew away.

Ichiji spread her real chakra wings behind her back, vibrating the air, making a loud whistling sound, and rushed high into the sky. A sharp look flashed in her dark pupils, and her expression became serious.

As the body rises, the surrounding air becomes concentrated and stagnant, as if one is stuck in a quagmire and cannot extricate himself.

The terrifying and invisible pressure bent the air for several miles, approaching the core, and even the space seemed to have obvious twists and turns, falling from the sky without any warning.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

The cold voice stabbed like a sharp knife.

"cut."

Ye Ji spoke without emotion, and there was an obvious cold look in Yi Ji's eyes. Even if she was caught in a gravity that was so thick that it could tear the human body apart, she was not afraid at all.

The high temperature spreads, and the chakra gushing out from the body turns into the endless flow of lava, forming a towering giant with a height of tens of meters. His eyes are as bright as the sun, and his nostrils spit out scorching heat in a human-like manner. of white gas.

The scalding heat is no less powerful than the movement caused by gravity.

Covered by the astonishing heat of the lava giant, the surrounding space was also distorted, so much so that when people looked at the sun above their heads, it was obviously deformed.

boom!

The heavy-pressure cannonball formed into a substance and hit the lava giant's body directly, creating an extremely terrifying impact storm and spilling out in the high air.

"Beep——"

Alarms rang throughout the fortress.

However, the screams that spread from the air directly overwhelmed the sound of the fortress siren.

Over the fortress, a round blue barrier expanded.

Bypassing the aftermath of the lava giant's heavy pressure, it slammed into the blue barrier, causing the entire barrier to begin to shake violently.

In fact, even the hard rock that constructed the fortress had obvious cracks in the aftermath of the impact of the barrier and heavy pressure, and they expanded more and more.

With the heavy sound of military boots hitting the ground, at the moment of the attack, most of the ninjas in the Kingdom of Ghosts completed their pre-war preparations and gathered in the square in an orderly manner.

Affected by the heavy pressure, the ground was still shaking, but the cracks in the fortress wall stopped expanding, so the ninjas of the Demon Country who were responsible for guarding couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Cai, who was in charge of patrolling the city wall today, frowned slightly and glanced at the wilderness to the east with a heavy look in his eyes.

White.

In the wilderness at the far end, the eyes are pale.

Countless Bai Jue were like locusts covering the sky and the sun, sweeping in like a torrent that spread thousands of miles away.

Behind the white army, there was a giant beast that looked like a carnivorous lizard, making a deafening roar.

Even though they were still several kilometers away from the fortress, this number of enemy troops was really frightening.

The most frightening thing is that the aerial reconnaissance troops dispatched so far have not received any information. I am afraid that most of them have already...

Cai looked at the sky again, and saw two figures in the sun, appearing bright and upright.

One of them had bright red hair and was wearing a red cloud coat with a black background. The exposed samsara eye in his right eye glowed with a cold and emotionless light, as if he were a god who controlled life and death, looking down on the world.

Even just looking at each other in the air, Cai felt chills rise and the hairs all over her body stood up.

This guy is definitely not something he can deal with! Cai is extremely sure of this.

The other man was also wearing a black red cloud coat and a gas mask on his face. His long light yellow hair danced in the wind. He had the same reincarnation eyes as the red-haired man. He had a cold aura all over his body and looked like a corpse. Expressive.

Nagato.

Sanshouyu Hanzo is also the way of heaven among Pain.

Sai instantly recognized the identities of the two ninjas.

I was a little shocked and strange in my heart. If it was just Sansho Hanzo, the leader of Akatsuki actually appeared here directly. Was he planning to directly challenge the Kingdom of Demons to a final decisive battle?

Or maybe it was because the military power that the Kingdom of Ghosts had shown before put too much pressure on them.

Force the opponent's leader and have to go out personally to reverse the disadvantage?

As her mind raced, Cai did not forget the more realistic issues at hand.

That was Nagato and Tendo. Ordinary ninjas had no way of dealing with them. They went up by themselves, to put it mildly, but they were probably just high-level cannon fodder, manicuring their nails and warming up.

In the fortress, the only one who can participate in this level of battle is his sister Yiji.

If Ichiki hadn't sensed the danger in advance and blocked most of the opponent's heavy impact, the fortress's own protective barrier alone wouldn't have been able to withstand such a powerful ninjutsu.

I'm afraid it only takes one strike for the entire fortress's defense system to collapse.

The defense system of the fortress was prepared for ninjas with common sense.

In the face of forces beyond common sense, Yiji, the frontline commander, is the last and hardest iron wall of this fortress.

"All members of the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 9th teams of the 4th Squadron, follow me out to intercept the enemy troops. The rest will stay and wait for the next instructions."

Cai quickly gave the order.

"yes!"

If the commander-in-chief Yi Ji is restrained, then the most senior commanders in the fortress are the squadron leaders Cai, who have the power to make temporary decisions.

Moreover, the Fourth Squadron is a standard combat force. When encountering such a sudden change, it is natural to be the first to stand at the forefront and prevent the enemy from advancing.

The danger is certain, but as long as she doesn't face that kind of out-of-standard ninja, Cai is still quite confident in her own strength.

The only pity is that after the heavy pressure storm, the airflow in the sky became very turbulent. At this time, the Air Force could not directly control the flying instrument to take off, otherwise there would be a risk of crashing. Otherwise, plowing the ground ahead first can relieve a lot of pressure.

Not only the fourth squadron led by Cai, the other squadrons also made combat arrangements as quickly as possible.

The members of the air force also carried flying gear and planned to take off to a safe place outside the fortress where the air flow was safe to respond to the enemy.

The only two unaffected ones, Leiming Wan and Tianyu Nu, glanced at the terrifying atmosphere of the confrontation between the two parties in the sky, and decisively did not intervene. They flew to the east and took the lead in the attack.

Finally, the east gate of the fortress was fully opened. The dark armored chariot, with its tracks rolling, ravaged the ground while raising its long barrel. The muzzle of the gun was deep and dark, and the coating on the surface flashed from time to time. The cold metallic color makes people feel a sense of surrender.

Although they were the first to charge, the several teams led by Cai had not yet engaged the enemy forces in front. The air force that took off outside the fortress, as well as Raiming Maru and Tian Yunv, arrived first.

The air force soaring in the sky unfolded the wings on both sides of the flying ninja. The cannon barrels on the wings were divided into upper and lower layers. The upper cannon barrels were connected to ground-penetrating bombs that had already been set up. They were rare in number, but powerful. , and can effectively attack the underground.

The lower barrel is relatively complex. It can fire small bombing-style shells, and can also drop various throwing bombs from the holes on the side of the barrel.

Since most of the Bai Jue troops are now on the ground, the air force, under the command of the squadron leader, is not in a hurry to put into use underground ground-penetrating bombs.

Instead, they quickly dropped aerial bombs, which were fist-sized and round.

As soon as the aerial bomb landed, it immediately set off a violent fire in the crowd and exploded with a bang.

But Bai Jue is not an artificial soldier who doesn't know how to adapt. After testing a while ago, they know how terrifying the industrial weapons of the Ghost Country are.

Without mobilizing the top ninjas to join the battle, even if the number of people that the Demon Country can mobilize is only one-tenth of White Zetsu, they can still be defeated.

Therefore, if they want to really make the Kingdom of Ghosts feel heartbroken, they must adopt this unpredictable surprise attack strategy so that their air force cannot exert its full strength.

When the Oni Country Air Force dropped bombs, the White Zetsus quickly dispersed. Some of them couldn't escape, so they burrowed underground and tried their best to avoid the explosion attack.

At the same time, the air force piloted by Bai Jue in the sky also began to interfere, entangled with each other, and restrained the troops on land so that the troops on land could advance safely.

Boom!

Boom!

The ground exploded again, leaving many White Zetsus on the land unable to hide, and were blown to pieces in the gunfire.

The armored troops one kilometer away kept spraying flames from their dark gun barrels to provide long-range fire support and directly attacked Bai Jue's Chinese army, causing chaos in the dense area and cutting off the connection between the front army and the rear army.

Thunder Pill's whole body was covered with thunder, flying from low altitude, its mechanical wings spread out beautifully like neat blades.

Brilliant cold silk threads were pulled out in the low air, and all the Bai Jue along the way were cut off at the waist, and their upper bodies flew into the sky, leaving no survivors.

Then, from the horn above its head, streaks of thunder as thick as buckets bloomed, sweeping towards Bai Jue on the ground.

Tianyu Nu created a storm and rolled up a terrifying tornado among the rear troops, drawing hundreds of Bai Jue into it and tearing their bodies apart. At the same time, he condensed air blades with his hands and fired them continuously, cutting the white jutsu that appeared in front of him into pieces.

Chaos soon broke out in Bai Jue's rear army, harassed by the two clones of Feng Lei.

At this time, the dragon beasts that were running towards them began to riot, roaring and yelling at Lei Mingwan and Tian Yunv, with a crazy and ferocious light in their huge reincarnation eyes.

Avoiding the claw attack of a dragon beast, Thunder Pill left the low-altitude area, and the thunder light blasted towards the dragon beasts on the ground, making them wail.

The advantage of air superiority was too obvious. Facing the giant beasts that could only stand on the ground, Lei Mingwan continued to release thunder and lightning without mercy, electrocuting these dragon beasts, causing their skin to burst open and their flesh to fly everywhere.

A flying dragon beast wanted to attack Thunder Pill, but before it could get close, one of its wings was suddenly cut off by an air blade coming from a distance, and it fell to the ground with a wailing sound. The broken wing was covered in blood. The flow was steady, but the ferocity in his eyes remained undiminished.

"Thanks, sister."

Lei Mingwan glanced sideways at Tianyu Nu, smiled and thanked her.

Tianyu Nu flew to Lei Mingwan's back and stood, looking straight ahead.

One after another, flying dragon beasts occupied the field of vision in front of them. They flapped their wings and stayed in the air, like dark clouds covering the sky. There was a slightly ferocious blood in Samsara's eyes, staring at Lei Mingwan and Tianyu Nu with bloodthirsty.

"These dragon beasts, if I remember their names correctly, should be creatures called pterosaurs. It looks like it will be a tough battle."

When Lei Mingwan saw such an astonishing number of dragon beasts, his heart sank and he whispered.

Dragon beasts, also called dinosaurs, are prehistoric creatures that have long since become extinct.

In that more ancient era, before human civilization emerged, archaeologists learned from archeology that the world in the past was once dominated by these dinosaurs at a certain era.

They were resurrected in the contemporary era, and after mixing with the current chakra energy, they became more powerful and brutal than before. Especially when the number increases, it becomes even more difficult to handle properly.

…

The sky above the fortress.

The originally chaotic airflow slowly returned to stability.

Ichiki didn't pay attention to the hustle and bustle of the battlefield in the distance. From the beginning to the end, the only enemies in her eyes were Nagato who appeared in front of her, and Tiandao who followed him.

Now, except for herself, no one else in the fortress is qualified to engage in this level of battle.

Once she fails here, the forward troops of the Kingdom of Ghosts will inevitably suffer a devastating blow.

Therefore, the two of them must not be allowed to pass here.

Standing on top of the lava giant's head, Ichihime's eyes had turned into the form of three magatama sharingan eyes. He looked up at the two figures that were slowly sinking from the sky and gradually became at the same level as him.

Nagato is in the front and Tiandao is in the back. It can be said that the status of the two is clear at a glance.

"You, the leader, actually chose to take action personally at this time. It seems that your patience is not as steady as the old man said. Why, after seeing the steady retreat on the battlefield from behind, you finally couldn't sit still, right?"

Ichiki smiled provocatively, deliberately irritating Nagato.

Nagato didn't reply, just stretched out his hand, and wrinkles appeared in the space.

Boom!

The heavy pressure hit the lava giant without any warning, making a dull thud.

"As I said, with this level of attack, are you looking down on me?"

Kazuki almost shouted the last word.

The lava giant under her feet also moved accordingly, holding the air in her right hand. Flames burned in the twisted air, and finally condensed into a giant chakra sword.

The lava giant raised his giant sword high and swung it down with all his strength. The invisible void he passed along the way was also ignited by the flames, leaving traces of flames.

The heavy pressure caused by gravity cannot stop the sharpness of the chakra sword.

Seeing this scene, Nagato and Tiandao decisively gave up frontal resistance, dodged from the left and right sides, and let the chakra giant sword swing in the air.

There was no need for verbal communication, Nagato and Tendo were united in mind, and the two of them instantly took the same posture and clasped their hands together.

Immediately afterwards, the combined palms of the two people let go, and a small black ball with an unspectacular appearance appeared between the palms and flew away from the palms.

"Earth Explosion Sky Star!"
