"Huhu~ You're not chasing me, are you?"
Hideto opened his Byakugan, and couldn't see Kumogakure's ninjas at all within his line of sight. However, the enemy just discovered them first, which meant that there were sentient ninjas in Kumogakure's team whose perception range exceeded the Byakugan's observation range.
Of course, this is nothing unusual.
The best sentient ninjas in the entire ninja world are basically in Konoha.
Because the entire Hyuga clan basically only needs people with ninja talent who can turn on the Byakugan with a little training, and almost the entire clan can be considered sentient ninjas.
And if a powerful sentient ninja appears in other villages, they will definitely regard it as a treasure.
It is normal for a sentient ninja who can travel with the Third Raikage to have stronger sentient abilities than an ordinary jonin like him.
"Who would have thought that we would meet the Third Raikage. If it weren't for Kushina, we would probably be..."
Hideto looked at Kushina with a look of fear and a look of joy. The power of the Kyuubi has been feared by the villagers for generations, but once this power becomes the power of an ally, it is really reliable!
Kushina closed her eyes, opened Kagura's Heart Eyes to perceive the Third Raikage and others, and then said:
"They have gone a long way and seem to be going back the way they came."
"How is it?" Bai Yu stepped forward and asked. After all, while Kushina was using the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, she finally broke out the "Red Dragon Armor". In the past, when she used both abilities at the same time, she would be exhausted. Case.
"It's okay, after all, we didn't fight for a long time, and the consumption was very small." Kushina knew what Bai Yu was worried about, shook her head and said: "The ninja world is really full of strong people, and the third generation of Raikage is much stronger than the rumors.
It seems that the information about him and the Eight-Tails fighting hand to hand for a day and a night is true.
I used my full strength from the beginning, but I didn't expect that he received a blow from me head on and was not injured. "
[Hmph, although the Eight-Tails is not bad, there is still a gap between me and me. Even if it's one-tenth of my power, if you use it well, you can still deal with most ninjas! 】Mini Kyuubi said proudly.
The Third Raikage is indeed strong, because he was not injured in the battle with me... What a statement from Versailles!
However, Bai Yu is qualified to say such a thing considering that Kushina even beat Uchiha Madara violently before.
"I'm convinced!"
The Englishman gave a thumbs up.
Chiho closed the three Magatama Sharingan and took a deep look at Kushina. The gap was too big!
"Bai Yu, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing Bai Yu's silence, Kushina couldn't help but ask.
Since the Third Raikage and others did not pursue, she released the Nine-Tails Chakra.
Bai Yu came back to his senses, nodded slightly and said: "I was thinking that we would first go north to enter the Kingdom of Frost, and then go east to prepare to enter the hinterland of the Kingdom of Thunder. The Third Raikage and his companions happened to meet us westward.
Excluding this chance encounter, Kumogakure's ninjas were originally heading west with a clear purpose.
The combination of the Third Raikage and a dozen jounin can easily destroy a small country. What is their purpose? "
"Maybe he wants to enter the Kingdom of Fire for a sneak attack, right?" the British said uncertainly.
"No." Bai Yu shook his head: "They have a clear direction, heading straight to the west."
"The Third Raikage and the others should be going to Earth Country." Chiho said: "Because the village had a battle with Iwagakure, there are already more than 2,000 ninjas stationed on the northern border, as well as the Sannin Jiraiya-sama and Golden glitter sits.
In addition, there are more than a dozen Hinata ninjas distributed in various outposts. Even if Kumogakure's sensing ninjas have stronger perception capabilities, they will not be able to enter the hinterland of the Fire Country quietly.
Therefore, it is very likely that the Third Raikage went west to meet with the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure to prepare for the two villages to re-alliance and deal with Konoha together.
Or...the Third Raikage simply wanted to sneak attack the stronghold of Iwagakure Village. "
"I almost have the same idea." Bai Yu nodded.
"But, if Kumogakure's ninjas were not trying to attack Konoha, but wanted to attack Iwagakure, why did they return the same way they came after meeting us?"
Kushina asked in confusion, but found that Bai Yu, Chiho, and Hideto were all looking at her with strange expressions.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Hideto said quietly: "Because the Third Raikage originally only thought Ohnoki of Iwagakure was the biggest enemy, but now he found that there is a stronger opponent in Konoha, so the primary target has changed."
"Are you talking about me?" Kushina blinked her big eyes and pointed at herself in confusion.
[Alas~] In the sealed space, Mini Nine-Tails covered his face.
"Assuming our speculation is correct, I think that not only will the third generation Raikage not launch an attack on Iwagakure, but he may share Kushina's information with the third generation Tsuchikage Onoki, and then join forces with Iwagakure to deal with it together. Konoha."
Bai Yu's face was solemn, but he was smiling secretly in his heart.
It's exactly what you want, it's best to be as messy as possible.
During the Second Ninja War, Kumogakure made a surprise attack on Iwagakure. Even if Iwagakure and Kumogakure temporarily united, they would definitely have their own agendas and would not be able to work together.
After all, the only one who had actually fought against Kushina was the Third Raikage. Even if Onoki believed in the Third Raikage, he would definitely have some suspicions in his heart, and he would definitely want to preserve his strength during the war.
Each country does not want Konoha to continue to be the overlord of the ninja world, but they also do not want to expend a lot of manpower and material resources to benefit other villages.
As long as Konoha can withstand the first wave of siege from various countries, it will probably continue to be a war of attrition.
"It seems that we need to go back as soon as possible to pass the information back to the village and let the higher-ups make decisions." Yingren said solemnly. Now it is a bit difficult for the village to deal with Sunagakure and Iwagakure at the same time. If there is another Kumogakure, it will be troublesome. And if the Kirigakure Village, which has been standing still, gets involved at this time, Konoha will be besieged from all sides.
"Well, let's get back to the camp as soon as possible."
Chiho nodded.
"Why are you all able to think about the problem so clearly?" Kushina looked at the three of them with confusion.
"this......"
The three of them looked at Kushina speechlessly.
You can't say she is stupid, after all, in the face of absolute power, no matter how hard you use your brain, it is meaningless.
Although most people do not have absolute power, they must develop in all aspects in multiple aspects, both to enhance their strength and to be diligent in thinking.
But the person in front of me is obviously an exception.
Although he is the same age as them, he can already comment on the strength of the third generation Raikage.
Although it relies on the power of the Nine-Tails, being able to use the Nine-Tails' ability is already a very remarkable thing.
If the Nine-Tails were transplanted into their bodies, not to mention using the power of the Nine-Tails, it would be good to be alive.
all in all.
Kushina is awesome!
[It’s okay, even though you have no brain, you have me. ] In the sealed space, Mini Nine Tails said calmly.
"Hmm...hmm!" Kushina nodded and suddenly reacted: "Who do you think has no brains? Humph! I have Bai Yu, what do I need my brain for?"
[How do you manage to say this with confidence? ] Kyuubi couldn't help but complain.
"It's useless for you to envy me!" Kushina said proudly.
Kyuubi: [......]
"Go back." Bai Yu nodded.
"I'm tired and can't walk."
Kushina said suddenly.
Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Kushina's eyes glancing at Chiho, he immediately reacted.
"Come up."
Bai Yu came to Kushina and squatted down.
Kushina jumped slightly and hugged Bai Yu's neck tightly.
"I never suffered such serious injuries on the front line of World War II!"
The Englishman curled his lips.
Bai Yu glanced at Yingren. This guy has a sullen personality. He appears cold and aloof, but once he gets to know him, he talks a lot.
Chiho followed the team silently.
...
Iwagakure Village.
meeting room.
The third Tsuchikage Onoki, as well as the senior officials of Iwagakure Village gathered here.
The topic they discussed was the information passed by the Third Raikage Ai - Konoha's Jinchuuriki has controlled the power of the tailed beasts, and is suspected of becoming a perfect Jinchuuriki.
"Everyone, what do you think of the Third Raikage's proposal?"
Onoki was the first to speak.
"Kumogakure can't be trusted. If they hadn't attacked from behind in the last battle, we would have defeated Konoha long ago!"
One jounin said angrily.
"I agree with this. There is no guarantee that Kumogakure will not repeat his same tricks this time, pretending to form an alliance with us to deal with Konoha, and then sneak attack from behind at the critical moment."
"We can't be fooled twice!"
The senior management still remembers the hatred of being stolen by Kumogakure last time. After all, Iwagakure's main force was in the country of rain that time. After being attacked by Kumogakure, his escape route was cut off. He was also attacked by the main force of Yugakure Village and Konoha, causing heavy losses. .
It had only been six or seven years since this battle. Some of the family members of the senior officials were killed in that battle. How could one not hate Yunyin?
"I already understand what everyone is saying. Although Kumogakure is hateful, Konoha is still the overlord of the ninja world. We must pay attention to the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. After all, he is the strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tails.
When Uchiha Madara fought against the First Hokage, he used the power of the Nine-Tails to severely damage the First Hokage.
One can imagine how terrifying the power of the Nine-Tails is! "
Onoki's eyes showed deep fear. When he was young, the shadow left by Madara on him has not been erased yet. It was a god-like power.
"We also have jinchuriki in Konoha, and Lao Zi and Han can use the power of tailed beasts well. Even if they can't win against a nine-tailed jinchuriki, they can drag her out."
A ninja analyzed it.
Ohnoki nodded and said: "Lao Zi is not in the village right now, so we can't be contacted for the time being. There are only Han and I, and I dare not say that we can win steadily against the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.
And Konoha's golden glitter is a big problem!
If I go to the front line, the Third Hokage will definitely be dispatched, and then Konoha and Iwagakure will have an all-out bloody battle, benefiting other villages in vain.
Since we are going to fight, we cannot just take action!
I agree to send someone to inform the Third Raikage and join forces to deal with Konoha, but Kumogakure must show us his sincerity.
In addition, he wrote a letter to the Third Mizukage, inviting him to also deal with Konoha.
Otherwise, when we win, if Kirigakure wants to intervene, he has to see if Kumogakure and Sunagakure agree. "
"yes!"
Although it was a meeting to discuss, once Onoki made a decision, most of the senior officials would still unanimously support it.
After all, under his leadership over the years, Yanyin Village has become stronger and stronger.
...
Only three short months had passed since Bai Yu and others encountered the Third Raikage, but the situation quickly deteriorated.
Kumogakure took the lead in sending an army to attack the border. Jiraiya used the sage mode at the bottom of the box to fight against the Third Raikage, but was still slightly injured.
On the other side, the Iwagakure army used the Country of Grass as its frontier and invaded the border. Namikaze Minato was forced to go to the northwest border to take charge of the overall situation.
At this time, the bitter consequences of the lack of a top powerhouse have gradually emerged.
If Hatake Sakumo is still alive, after these few years of fighting, his strength will definitely be further improved.
On the three fronts of the battlefield in the west, northwest and northeast, if he is added to any front, the battle situation will definitely change for the better.
Just when the world was amazed at Konoha's powerful strength and its ability to fight against the three major ninja villages at the same time, the Kirigakure Village, which had been standing still, sent troops. They took advantage of the southwest archipelago country Umi no Kuni to launch an attack on Konoha and occupied The ruins of the Kingdom of Whirlpool are constantly harassing the Kingdom of Fire.
For a moment, Konoha, the towering tree, also felt like it was crumbling.
