In the dark and deep uninhabited wilderness, the heavy rain kept falling.
Dense metal marbles fell from the sky, mixed in the rain curtain, splashed with water, and dyed with a clear and bright luster.
However, these seemingly inconspicuous metal marbles have become the most terrifying death blades on the battlefield, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of ninjas.
The fire from the explosion soared into the sky, and its coverage area exceeded that of a conventional fire escape ninjutsu. Not only that, when the high-temperature fire that burned the human body was erupted, it would also carry a shock wave with a wider range.
Every piece of land where an explosion occurs will leave an extremely tragic crater.
In the continuous fire explosions, it was impossible to tell whether it was sludge or the scene of blood and flesh flying all over the sky after the human body was blown to pieces.
"retreat!"
"Retreat quickly!"
The leader of the jounin, who had the tailed beast's chakra feathers gathered on his body, let out a cry of despair that was almost like a scream, and shouted loudly, prompting the troops to evacuate.
Just in the first encounter, nearly a quarter of the combat effectiveness was lost.
The two hundred ninjas had no time to react. After miscalculating the enemy's firepower, they embarked on the road to hell in perfect peace.
Death is so close.
Facing the steel-like heavy firepower, everyone realized that human flesh and blood could not compete with it.
Fighting here will only waste your life.
At this time, one should evacuate the battlefield in time, prepare for the battle again, and charge head-on towards the Yuyin camp. This is definitely the stupidest thing to do.
However, no matter how fast the ninja ran on two legs, it could not be faster than the speed of the Amegakure ninja flying in the sky.
They don't even need to release any ninjutsu, they just need to press the switch in their hands gently, and the steel wings on both sides of the flying ninja tool will automatically pop up the black nozzles, ejecting the toy-like metal marbles inside.
The flying speed of the marbles is much faster than that of kunai, and the explosion range is not comparable to that of the detonating charm. Therefore, even if the ninjas on the ground were aware of danger and prepared in advance, they were still caught off guard, their heads were buzzing, leaving only a blank.
It's no wonder, because in the ninja world, ninjas who can fly with their own abilities are really rare.
There are very few ninjas like the Third Tsuchikage Onoki who can concentrate firepower to attack the enemy from the air.
Although the ninjas knew that the so-called air control was very important, they could not clearly understand what the so-called fire control was.
Just like the flintlock gun, prototypes have already appeared in the ninja world, but because of the existence of super common sense like ninjas, countries are not too keen on firearm research.
In addition, the super-era technology displayed by the Kingdom of Kong in the past was still quickly defeated by the attack of the ninjas of the five major countries, without any outstanding performance.
Although different scientific weapons were displayed in the battle between the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Wind, the final outcome of that war was determined by the power of the Uchiha clan's Mangekyō Sharingan and its ability to annihilate thousands of ninjas in an instant. A powerful S-level forbidden technique comparable to the Tailed Beast Jade.
It can be seen that even in the Kingdom of Demons, which attaches great importance to the development of scientific weapons, the reason why its military strength is truly strong is because of ninjas and ninjutsu, as well as the power of blood inheritance, rather than any scientific weapons.
Therefore, ninjas do not have a clear and accurate concept of firearms.
However, this inherent understanding of firearms will surely change greatly in various countries after today.
And those who sacrificed for this were the ninjas of the Land of Fire.
"This place has become a place of slaughter. This is not a battle at all! In short, run quickly and don't stop!"
They arrived with great momentum, but after clearly feeling the ferocious firepower of the enemy, the ninjas of the Fire Country Daming Mansion had forgotten in their minds the order from their superiors to destroy Yugakure.
Their instinctive fear of death and fear of unknown and mysterious existence became their excuse and reason to give up fighting and flee directly.
Yes.
This kind of battle cannot be called a battle at all, it is just Yuyin's unilateral killing of them.
Just looking for a foothold on the ground requires them to use all their strength, and the enemy is located more than fifty meters in the air. Even if they have a foothold, it is impossible to use ninjutsu to hit the opponent from the ground.
Their understanding of flying ninja tools still rests on the impression that kunai and detonating talismans are projected from the air.
Unexpectedly, the ninjas of Yuyin Village were equipped with extremely terrifying powerful explosive marbles on their flying ninja tools. The explosive effect of the detonating talisman was completely outshone by this unknown metal marble.
This strong sense of disobedience made the ninjas realize that the weapons used by themselves and their enemies were not products of the same era at all.
Their equipment is kunai, shurikens, soldiers' food pills, and a few detonating charms.
Comparing the weapons used by Yuyin Village at the moment, the strong sense of gap was even more unacceptable to them.
Their attacks cannot hit each other, but the enemy's attacks can easily surround them.
The firepower generated instantly by a flying ninja tool can be compared to the effect of a dozen chunin using destructive escape techniques.
Human flesh and blood cannot resist.
After taking the forbidden drug, the tailed beast chakra feathers produced, under such dense and terrifying firepower, had only room to escape and could not fight back.
A whining sound passed through the air, like the death note.
The ninjas who were fleeing on the ground ran away in disgrace. Those who were seriously injured and couldn't run had no choice but to wait for death.
Hearing the metallic sound of flying ninja tools flying overhead, they all had blood in their eyes and bubbles at the corners of their mouths.
The panicked screams proved that his courage had been broken.
Then he was drowned by the sound of the explosion, and the blood and mud after the corpse was blown to pieces mixed with each other, making it impossible to distinguish one from the other.
At this time, the running ninjas have lost their so-called discipline and dignity.
If they fight to the death and still have a chance of victory, they will not be stingy with their bravery.
But if fighting desperately will only facilitate the enemy's slaughter, then the so-called resistance and fighting will lose the meaning of fighting.
They were so desperate because they couldn't see any possibility of victory.
When the explosion shattered the human body, and when the Jonin were frightened by the enemy's firepower, the morale of the military had completely collapsed.
It was a natural result, but they fled like this without any resistance. The Amegakure ninjas who controlled the flying ninja to massacre the enemy troops had no pity or sympathy in their eyes, but only a more violent desire for revenge.
About ten years ago, their leader, Sanshouyu Hanzo, died on this land.
Betrayed by Konoha and strangled by the Sunagakure ninja.
The family was massacred by Konoha ninjas.
Countless innocent civilians were displaced, starved to death and froze to death in their own land.
At that time, they could only lower their heads to the enemy in humiliation and pray for life.
But the hatred has not been forgotten.
In other words, the cause and effect connected by this hatred will make them unforgettable for eternity.
Therefore, when they saw the ninjas from the Country of Fire fleeing in such a panic, they did not laugh. The only thought in their hearts was to annihilate all the enemies and leave no one alive.
How the Fire Kingdom treated the Rain Kingdom back then, now, the people of the Rain Kingdom should also treat the people of the Fire Kingdom.
If the situation didn't allow it, they would even want to fly these twenty flying ninjas to the sky above the Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire and blow it to pieces. Then go to Konoha to launch an air raid, so that they can also experience the miserable situation of having their families destroyed.
There is no right or wrong, no good or evil. There are only strong and weak differences between countries.
Truth is born in their fists.
This is what the Amegakure ninja has realized now.
Only when you become stronger can you have the right to speak, and in the complex Ninja world, can you live with more dignity.
The pitiful screams of the Fire Country ninjas could not make them feel the same. Only after the revenge was successful, the endless happiness and relief came to their hearts.
"Give you the final blow!"
Human legs are no match for machines.
The flying ninja hunting in the air released all the last metal marbles in the magazine, like a goddess scattering flowers on the ground.
A sea of fire broke out on the ground.
The brilliant flames dyed the night sky red.
I couldn't tell whether it was the color of blood or flames.
Rainwater dries up and evaporates into air.
Burnt pieces of meat were flying all over the sky, and it was impossible to tell who they belonged to.
Except for the sound of burning flames, the screams on the battlefield suddenly stopped.
…
"……incredible……"
On the rocks in the distance, a root ninja wearing a dark hooded raincoat and an animal mask picked up a telescope and clearly saw what was happening on the battlefield, and murmured with slightly trembling lips.
This is simply a fantasy.
Twenty ninjas carried out an unprecedented massacre of 800 ninjas in less than half an hour.
It is true that the lack of anti-air means was the primary reason for the failure, but I did not expect that even the ninjas who had taken the forbidden drug would be as fragile and vulnerable as paper under the cover of Amegakure's firepower.
At most, he withstood a few bombardments, and then died in the explosion like the rest.
It is estimated that the body is not very complete now.
The battle was over, but the explosion flames on the battlefield did not go out. They continued to burn, turning the place into a sea of fire, and even the rain falling from the sky evaporated.
The land was barren, and except for a few ninjas who were proficient in earth escape and escaped by burrowing into the ground, the rest were killed in the explosion.
The opponents were only twenty Amegakure ninjas with average strength, not even a jounin.
As a result, he used that strange skill to kill all the elite ninja troops in Daming Mansion.
Such an unreal scene made the root ninja unable to give any evaluation.
My heart was trembling. Compared with this kind of weapon, I suddenly felt that the tailed beast forbidden drug that I had put in a lot of hard work and sacrificed countless living bodies to develop was not a very great invention.
The promise made to the daimyo to end all battles before seven o'clock seemed to have become a joke.
But the root ninja couldn't laugh. He just felt that his mind was shocked like never before, and he felt painful inside.
The root ninja knew that this was not a war weapon developed by Yuyin Village. If Yuyin had such weapon production technology, it would have been used to scare other countries.
The Fire Nation will not easily get involved in the muddy waters here.
Therefore, the root ninja can be sure that the new explosives carried on the flying ninja are war weapons produced by the country of ghosts.
Nowadays, in the ninja world, only the Kingdom of Demons has such molding technology. The other countries lack industrial foundations and even complete industrial systems, so it is impossible to develop such weapons.
The same goes for the Ninja Villages of the Five Great Nations. Compared with these industrialized weapons, the senior officials prefer to develop forbidden arts and tailed beasts rather than delve into such evil ways.
"How do I report this kind of thing to Danzo-sama..."
The root ninja in charge of the reconnaissance didn't know how to write this report, and was in trouble for a while.
But he understands that in an era when ninjas only focus on the inheritance of skills, some changes in consciousness are really going to happen.
I hope Danzo-sama won’t be so angry that he becomes physically ill. The root ninja smiled bitterly in his heart.

The capital of the Kingdom of Rain is Daming Mansion.
Compared with the tragic battlefield outside, not only is there no war here, but there is also peace and harmony. The nobles sing and dance together among the beautiful dancing girls, playing and having fun with the beauties, and they are drunk and dreaming.
Just when they were enjoying themselves, suddenly, the foundation of the Daming Mansion began to tremble restlessly.
Like an earthquake, the ground hummed.
The singing and dancing nobles stopped playing with the beauties and began to look at each other. They didn't know what was going on, and a kind of uneasiness arose deep in their hearts.
Suddenly, a noble shouted loudly and panicked.
His body began to float toward the sky.
The other nobles and dancers pointed at him, but before they made any sound, the bodies of the other nobles and dancers also began to float in the air.
Not only them, but also the daimyo's family members and the guards in the mansion were all dragged upwards by an invisible force.
A man wearing a black coat stood with his feet in the void, his face covered by a black hood, and his cold eyes piercing the air, like a high god, overlooking the land.
"Ah, who are you! Put us down quickly!"
Upon discovering this strangely dressed man, the nobles shouted and wanted to beat him and kill him.
The man in black is not angry. Would a person feel angry towards an ant?
I just thought this group of guys was a little noisy and boisterous.
Even though these guys are sucking the blood of this country, making concessions to other countries, and regardless of the life and death of the people of this country, they are still the orthodox rulers of the Kingdom of Rain.
Although he didn't know what the meaning of this group of nobles was, from now on, he would not allow these guys to put their finger on his head.
The Kingdom of Rain, which has been in chaos for many years, should finally be settled.
Ignoring the shouts of killing from the nobles, the man in black spread his hands gently, as if embracing the land of his mother country.
At this moment, he became the center of the world.
Because of the indescribable aura, the nobles, dancers, and guards who flew into the sky stared blankly at the man in black who was unwilling to reveal his true appearance.
What is he going to do?
This thought came to their minds.
“Peace—starts here!”
A murmuring sound came out clearly from his mouth.
The pain that had been accumulated for many years was released at this moment.
The chakra in the body begins to circulate.
Shinra——
Tian Zheng!
Clear light flashed quickly through the darkness.
There was no sign.
The earth collapsed and sand flew.
The magnificent Daming Palace, as well as the castle tower that symbolized the power and status of the Daiming, were also shattered into pieces in an instant and scattered around.
A huge hole suddenly appeared in the eyes of the nobles.
All the noise stopped abruptly.
The nobles stared with fearful eyes, not daring to take a breath.
…
"Is this the power of the Samsara Eye? Should it be described as shocking or terrifying..."
The wandering witch from the Kingdom of Ghosts stood outside the Daming Mansion, watching the prosperous Daming Mansion turn into nothingness, and a huge pit appeared in front of her eyes.
She already understood that this was a force that could not be countered by human power.
Even the military's most high-end firearms don't seem to have any advantage in the face of the power here.
Lifting everyone up into the sky, it happened to only destroy the Daming Palace, without affecting the rest of the streets... This kind of control, and such a terrifying large-scale instant destructive ninjutsu, is really something that humans can do ?
"It seems that he needs to report to the headquarters. This kind of power should be far from his limit. He is indeed the person that Lord Shiraishi takes care of."
Such a guy is not a ninja that can be defeated simply by relying on intelligence.
For the first time, the wandering witch felt unconfident in her heart.
In the face of such divine power, any protest or dissatisfaction becomes meaningless.
From now on, he is the god of the Kingdom of Rain!
There is no need to deliberately promote it, nor does it need other people’s approval.
He just silently announced to everyone that this was a trivial matter not worth mentioning.
◎
The next day, early morning.
The castle tower of the Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire.
Snapped!
The sound of folding fans closing with force resounded in the castle.
Looking at the information passed back from the Kingdom of Rain, the name of the Fire Kingdom's face turned livid, with an unbelievable look in his eyes. He could not believe that the battle report stated on the scroll actually happened.
It made him feel that the content on the scroll was so dazzling that he couldn't open his eyes.
The elite force of 800 ninjas affiliated with Daming Mansion were completely wiped out.
The Daimyo Palace of the Country of Rain was attacked by Pain, the leader of the Rain Gakuin, and bypassed the Fire Country ninja reinforcements camp outside the capital of the Country of Rain. The daimyo and other nobles were arrested. Although their lives were not safe, they symbolized the center of power of the Country of Rain. Daming Mansion no longer exists.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the situation in the Kingdom of Rain has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The situation has completely turned around.
It was originally a great chess game, but suddenly, the Fire Nation was at a disadvantage.
Flying ninja tools... terrifyingly powerful explosive bombs...
Payne, the leader of Rain Hidden, used a forbidden technique of large-scale destruction, instantly destroying the Daming Mansion of the Country of Rain...
It all shows that the Country of Rain is no longer a small country that can be manipulated by big countries.
The Konoha troops stationed in the Land of Rain have now become a lone army.
It may be annexed by the combined forces of Aegakure and Ghost Country at any time.
All kinds of unfavorable information made the Fire Country Daimyo almost faint.
Why does this happen?
How could the situation take such a shocking turn in just one day?
What exactly went wrong?
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire looked very restless, and his breathing became disordered.
Let’s not mention the direct ninja troops who sacrificed their lives for the country. The first thing to consider is what to do next?
What’s next for Oni no Kuni and Amegakure?
Are they going to unite directly and force a war with the Kingdom of Fire?
Will Yunyin on the northeastern border also be waiting for an opportunity?
If the Fourth Ninja War really breaks out, can the Kingdom of Wind, located in the southwest, contain the main force of the Kingdom of Demons as agreed? Or will he switch sides and join in the carving up of the Fire Country?
Although the possibility is small, it is not impossible.
The outbreak of the Ninja World War was an extreme result based on the imbalance of comprehensive national conditions between major powers.
In this chess game, it was originally very unfavorable to the Fire Nation, and the balance was barely maintained.
Now that the news of consecutive defeats has come, the country of fire is even more precarious. The balance begins to break.
This is a very dangerous signal.
Although the possibility is small, it cannot be ruled out.
It would be better to say that the ambitious Kingdom of Ghosts and Kingdom of Thunder will definitely take action next, rather than simply supervising the war.
"hateful!"
Are you complaining about Danzo's miscalculation?
This was not just Danzo's miscalculation; it was his, as well as the Sandaime Hokage's.
Eight hundred ninjas fought against twenty Amegakure ninjas, but the entire army was annihilated.
Twenty-one of them took forbidden drugs and increased their strength to the jounin level...
If this report was not written by Danzo himself, the Fire Country Daimyo would not even believe that this was what really happened.
As a daimyo, he didn't understand flying ninja tools and terrifying explosive bombs, and he had never experienced them intuitively, but he knew one thing. The Fire Nation would face an unprecedented crisis next!
Facing the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Thunder, what should we do next?
For the first time, a look of confusion appeared in the eyes of the Fire Nation daimyo.
He didn't know where to place his next move.
Just as he was thinking about how to break the situation, another report came in from the outside. Along with this information, there was a square wooden box.
The important ministers present here were worried, and their faces became uneasy.
Their intuition told them that the information on this scroll might also be bad news for the Fire Country.
As for what was in the wooden box, they couldn't guess.
The Daimyo of the Country of Fire unpacked this new information, which was about the direction of the Country of Waves.
After seeing the above content, the great name of the Fire Country almost wanted to vomit blood.
There is only one sentence on the scroll——
The workers and farmers of the Kingdom of Waves rebelled and captured Daming Mansion. The nobles of the Kingdom of Waves were defeated and fled.
After reading the information on the scroll, the Fire Country Daimyo thought of something. He stretched out his hand tremblingly and opened the lid of the wooden box. When he saw the contents inside, he took a breath.
A human head.
The head of the Daimyo of Wave Country.
He closed his eyes tightly and died peacefully.
"..."
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire didn't know what to say at this time, nor did he know what kind of expression to use in response to the head.
If he remembered correctly, the Daimyo of the Country of Waves sent him a letter last month, stating in the letter that the situation in the Country of Waves was excellent, the people's sentiments were settled, and there was no need to worry about the Chamber of Commerce personnel stationed in the Country of Ghosts.
Is this the result of people’s hearts being set and not worrying?
The Fire Nation daimyo wanted to curse loudly, but when the words came to his lips, he could only stare and couldn't say a word.
waste! idiot! big eater!
He must have been working against himself, talking about calming the people's hearts, but he still stubbornly refused to do anything, and did not seriously try to appease the people's hearts, so he was taken advantage of by the Kingdom of Ghosts.
He reminded her again and again, but it still ended up like this.
"Summon the Hokage to come to the castle tower to discuss matters... No, I will personally go to Konoha Village to discuss matters!"
Finally, the Fire Country Daimyo trembled and said these words, as if all his strength had been drained.
