"The first... Shadow..."
After hearing what Liuli said, Ayane pondered for a moment. Of course, her behavior was not fear.
The era dominated by ninjas is undoubtedly moving forward in terms of comprehensive fields.
Perhaps during the Warring States Period, the Five Shadows of the Troubled Times were all terrifying beings capable of defeating tens of thousands of ninjas, but if it was only to this extent, in a one-on-one situation, Ayane was not afraid at all.
After all, the strength of a ninja reincarnated through dirty soil will be greatly reduced compared to that in life, and there will be many weaknesses.
"Although there are ways to restrain them, the increase in the number of shadows is also a problem. Moreover, most of these ninjas reincarnated from the dirty land have been reincarnated by Danzo in advance. There is no point in sending people to assassinate him now."
Ayane frowned.
Moreover, Danzo understands that the Demon Country knows the method of reincarnation by hiding dirty soil at its roots, and it is unknown what kind of trap it has designed secretly. It would be great if the root had established a relationship with the Alliance Army from the beginning, so that the root's movements could be obtained in advance.
It's a pity that Root is nominally part of the Alliance Army, but in fact, Root's actions are still controlled by Danzo, and it is independent of the Alliance Army. It is in a special position that is close to the Alliance Army, but not controlled by the Alliance Army at all.
Dealing with Danzo now will only alert the Alliance Army and disrupt the next deployment of the Kingdom of Demons.
"There is no need to worry for the time being. Given the current situation of the Alliance Army, they will not accept Danzo's proposal so quickly before the end of the road." Liuli said at this time, revealing that the Alliance Army still has room to counterattack at this time.
Whether it is due to their own pride or fear and vigilance towards Danzo, the Alliance Army will not decide so quickly if they want to accept Danzo's proposal quickly.
Because if this kind of thing is not handled well, it will cause huge trouble.
And this is also true. In the loudspeaker, since Genbu proposed that strategy, the meeting has fallen into a state of silence. Even without a clear picture, Liuli could imagine the mental state the Five Shadows were suffering from at this time.
Maybe there was some element of aggression involved, but out of fear or pride, it would undoubtedly be more difficult to get them to adopt this tactic immediately.
"Okay, now we can only wait and see what happens. But no matter what, we have to use up all their vitality. If we deal with them one by one, there will be too many fish that slip through the net. In that case, things will be difficult. .”
Ayane nodded, but there was no sound coming from the loudspeaker. This would probably end this alliance summit meeting. ...
On the other side, the Five Shadows of the Alliance Army, who had finished their talks with the daimyo and Nebe, walked out of the room with a gloomy expression, stopped in the corridor, and did not return immediately.
"Princess Tsunade, the ninja of your village always likes to cause trouble for others."
The third Tsuchikage Onoki's body was floating in mid-air, his eyes glanced at the silent Tsunade, with deep meaning in his eyes.
"Mr. Onoki, are you doubting me?"
Tsunade took a deep breath, knowing that this incident was the result of her poor supervision.
I originally thought that Danzo would be honest this time and help the alliance safely, but he didn't expect that he could give himself a "surprise" now. "Danzo is your Konoha ninja, and you are the leader of Konoha." Hokage, it's hard for me not to associate you two together and use this war to plot something secretly."
Onoki said so.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, he began to question whether Tsunade was secretly planning some unknown conspiracy. Because even he was shocked by Danzo's generosity.
"Even if you say so, old man, I don't know about this at all." Tsunade shook her head and denied it with a calm expression.
She knew that no matter what she said at this time, it would arouse others' suspicion, but she would never admit that it was framed by others if it was not something she did.
"Speaking of which, the Earth Reincarnation Technique requires the biological tissue of the human body in order to reincarnate the dead to fight. However, the remains of the previous Mizukages preserved in our village are still intact.
. This is how the same thing? "
Terumi Mei was confused at this time.
Every village has basically heard about the art of reincarnation from dirty soil and knows what the prerequisites are for performing this art.
If you want to summon the deceased, you need the biological tissue containing DNA of the deceased during his lifetime, and use this as a medium to resurrect the deceased in the pure land.
"I guess they were collected from ancient battlefields in the past. No matter how strong a ninja is, when encountering a powerful enemy, he will not be unscathed and will bleed on the battlefield. And because of their fame, those ancient battlefields are also very popular. It's easy to find, and generally no one goes to that kind of place. However, it is not an easy task to collect them all. That guy Danzo had probably been planning these dead ninjas many years ago. "
The Fourth Raikage intervened at this time and expressed a very possible idea.
Each village attaches great importance to the place where the remains of the past shadows are placed. Coupled with the defensive strength of each village, it is not easy for people from other villages to come in and fish in troubled waters and quietly take away the biological tissues from the remains of the past shadows. This is not easy.
Not to mention Kirigakure, the Fourth Raikage has never heard of any incidents related to the theft of the remains of the Raikages of Kirigakure in recent years.
Therefore, if Danzo wanted to obtain the biological tissues containing the DNA of these ninjas, he could only search them from the ancient battlefield areas of the past and conduct trial and error one by one.
And the cost of every trial and error is naturally a life.
Although I don’t know how many times Danzo tried and made mistakes in order to collect these things, I think it was probably no less. "..."
As if thinking of this possibility, Tsunade's face became even more ugly.
"Princess Tsunade, you have really failed as Hokage, allowing this kind of guy to become big in the village." Onoki stared at Tsunade and said this.
Immediately, he changed the subject and said: "However, even this crooked fighting method has its value. As for the dirty land reincarnation tactic provided by Danzo, I think it is worth giving it a try. These dead people can stand up to the ultimate From the front, clear the obstacles ahead for us. While clearing out the enemy's effective forces, it can also reduce the losses on our side. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
"Tsuchikage, what do you mean? Are you planning to use such crooked means to win?" Tsunade didn't even scream 'Old Man', and stared at Onoki with cold eyes.
"Hokage, this is war. In war, any method used is reasonable, as long as it is for victory. Otherwise, we would not have hired those bounty hunters to work for our alliance from the beginning."
Onoki snorted and aimed at Tsunade in a preachy tone.
"That is the proposal you passed. I personally do not support this approach."
"Pedantry! As a shadow of a village, when dealing with the special period of war, victory should be regarded as the first priority, and everything else is secondary! It is impossible for you who have come from the war years not to understand this truth. We are facing powerful enemies like Akatsuki and Demon Country. I don’t think the Alliance’s current strength is capable of going to the end. We cannot afford to fail.”
Ohnoki has no hesitation in being pessimistic.
He is not optimistic about the future of the Alliance Army now.
Although the Five Shadows are very powerful, they all know very well that the strength of the five of them alone cannot influence the situation of the battle at all. Once the war enters the final stage, the gap between them and the Demon Country and even Akatsuki will be clearly revealed.
In this case, even if he knew that Danzo might have bad intentions, Onoki still felt that there was value in giving it a try. "It is simply unreasonable to rely on dead people to win!"
Not to be outdone, Tsunade confronts Ohnoki.
"It sounds nice, but this technique was created by you, the Second Hokage of Konoha." Onoki pushed back without mercy.
Tsunade's breath suffocated, and she clenched her fist fiercely. Powerful chakra came out of her body, setting off a storm around her. Kaka!
There were horrific cracks in the masonry of the floor and corridor, extending in the direction of Onoki.
However, in the face of this oppressive momentum, Ohnoki faced it calmly and let it go
Tsunade's momentum was overwhelming, but she herself was indifferent, appearing very calm.
"You two, please stop!"
Terumi Mei stood forward and stood between Tsunade and Ohnoki, neutralizing their attack. After looking around, Terumi Mei continued:
"The enemy hasn't been eliminated yet. If we start fighting among ourselves here, it will make people laugh. Both of their opinions are reasonable. So, I think it is better to vote by vote. The minority obeys the majority."
"That's okay. Although I don't like Danzo and I know he has other tricks, as long as it is beneficial to the alliance's war situation, I vote for this tactic."
Ohnoki was the first to set an example. "No, I don't agree." Tsunade said coldly. "Abstain."
Mei Terumi chose neutrality and planned to wait and see without helping each other.
"No." The Fourth Raikage spoke.
"Raikage, when did you become so disciplined?" Ohnoki looked at the Fourth Raikage in shock.
The Fourth Raikage is definitely not a person who likes to play by the rules.
The dirty soil reincarnation tactic definitely has more advantages than disadvantages for the current Alliance Army. As long as this result is measured, in Ohnoki's opinion, the Fourth Raikage must agree.
However, he voted against it.
"Most of our alliance forces are still there, and... if we use this tactic now, it will only force Oni Country and Akatsuki to unite and jointly target our alliance forces. In a three-party battle, the alliance relationship will be determined by each party. The increase or decrease in strength can be adjusted at any time. Even if we adopt this tactic in the end, now is not the best time.”
The Fourth Raikage said in a deep voice.
Onoki lowered his head in thought, nodded slightly, and admitted that what the Fourth Raikage said made sense.
The alliance between the Alliance Army and the Kingdom of Ghosts is not unbreakable. Once the Alliance Army shows its astonishing power, the Kingdom of Ghosts will immediately abandon the Alliance Army and turn to cooperate with Akatsuki.
At that point, the Confederates would be in trouble.
The Four Shadows' decision on Yu Tutu's reincarnation tactics was quickly conveyed to Luo Sha on the front line.
Although the Intelligence Ministry only gave two meaningless words of "veto", it was enough for Luo Sha to understand what kind of attitude the other four Kage held towards the dirty land reincarnation tactic.
Furthermore, Luo Sha had equally complicated feelings about this tactic. He is well aware of the hardships of this war. If the dirty land reincarnation tactic is put into use, most of the current problems can be solved and the country of rain can be invaded as quickly as possible.
But on the other hand, he also felt that using dead ninjas to fight, especially in this, and their Sunagakure's past Kazekage, made Rasa shameless in facing his ancestors.
"I hope this tactic won't be used..." Luosha murmured to himself.
Once this tactic is used, it means that the Alliance army is at an absolute disadvantage and needs to rely on dead men to reverse the situation. Luo Sha didn't want to see this kind of thing.
Shaking off this embarrassing thought, Luo Sha sighed and walked out of the tent. "Kazekage-sama."
Outside the tent, there were ninjas from the Alliance Army guarding them. When they saw Luo Sha coming out of the tent, they bowed lightly. "Inform the three captains and tell them that we have something to discuss."
Luo Sha calmed down her emotions and her expression returned to normal, making it impossible to see any flaws.
Rather than worrying about whether to use the dirty soil reincarnation tactic, for him, handling the battle situation on the front line is the top priority now. .
The warrior, whose whole body was burning with lava, remained the size of an adult and flew across the endless wilderness.
Perhaps due to the ravages of war, this wilderness is littered with gravel and cool breeze, giving people a sense of desolation and desolation. Every time the lava warriors take a step, they will leave a blackened footprint on the ground, representing their footsteps. His golden eyes, without any emotion, coldly scanned the wilderness, searching for possible enemies.
A few kilometers away, located in the Kingdom of Birds, in the Fortress Camp of Oni's Front, processing the picture information constantly fed back by these lava warriors, so far, Ichiki has not found any White Zetsu troops moving nearby. trace.
Although most of them are white
They have all evacuated the Kingdom of Birds, but Ichiji understands that there must be a small number of White Zetsu still staying in the Kingdom of Birds, but they are not noticed yet because they are so well hidden.
Otherwise, the Oni Country ninjas in the fortress would not be replaced by White Zetsu.
Due to the timely measures taken and the fact that all personnel were on alert, the warehouse area within the fortress did not suffer a second raid. It's just that this calm situation is just an illusion that Bai Ze can create. They also turn into ninjas from the Kingdom of Ghosts, watching in the dark, waiting for opportunities to prepare.
Regarding this situation, until the headquarters found a way to crack it, Yiji could only turn a blind eye and wait for notification from the headquarters while dispatching the Thorn Team to investigate suspicious persons in the dark.
After all, Bai Jue only used transformation techniques and could not completely replace a person.
As long as we focus on this point, the matter can be solved smoothly, but this strategy is only suitable when the fortress is closed, and it takes a long time.
"Team leader."
Hinata Aoi, who was responsible for delivering documents, knocked on the door and walked in.
Kazuhime continued to control the lava warrior's actions, and glanced at Hinata Aoi's position. "Is this the news from headquarters?"
"No, it's information from the Alliance Army. Regarding the Alliance Army's capture of the Kusagakure Battle, it seems that Akatsuki and Akatsuki have entered into a stalemate." Hinata Aoi glanced at the document and said.
"As expected, as long as they can't find the White Zetsu who have sneaked in, they can't let go of all their hands and feet and fight Kusagakure's White Zetsu with all their strength. In this case, the best thing to do is to stand still. Otherwise, their The medical pressure will be greater and the casualties will be more severe."
Due to different tactics, the medical pressure on the Demon Country is not great. In addition, the infiltrators are a very small number of special individuals Bai Zetsu. There will not be many people. As long as the Hyuga clan ninjas in the fortress keep an eye on them, it can basically be done. Eliminate the possibility of being attacked by surprise.
But the Alliance Army is different. Since the battle, they have accumulated at least 10 wounded soldiers in the Country of Grass. Even if the number of people who can be mobilized is still very large, under the condition of dividing the troops to take care of the medical troops, the force that can be mobilized freely will inevitably be affected. contain.
Ultimately, this was due to the uneven quality of the Alliance army and its lack of discipline. "How is the battle situation in the remaining areas?"
"The same is true in the western battlefield of the Country of Fire. The fifth regiment of the Alliance Army was unable to directly break into the Country of Rain and was restrained by White Zetsu's sneak attack tactics."
"Where are their main forces located in the Kingdom of Earth, the Kingdom of Iron, and the Kingdom of Taki?"
Kazuki continued to ask.
Although the main force of the Alliance forces attacking Akatsuki is currently concentrated in the Land of Grass, there are still a large number of Alliance combatants in the three countries of Earth, Iron and Taki.
The total number of Union combatants in these three countries reached 60,000, half of the total number of Union troops.
If some of the main forces in these three countries are transferred to the front line of Kusanagi, although some sacrifices will be made, it is not difficult to bulldoze the entire Kusanagi.
"Still standing still, with no sign of being mobilized to other battlefields."
"It's already this time. Don't forget to be careful here. I'm a little too cautious." Kazuji smiled teasingly.
She naturally knew the reason why the Alliance Army left half of its troops behind and did not immediately go to the battlefield. The alliance's contract is very fragile, and as the war progresses, the relationship between enemies and friends can change at any time.
It's like the Oni Kingdom stationed a main force of the military in the west of the Earth Kingdom in order to guard against the Alliance ninjas in the Earth Kingdom, and placed killers like Uchiha Sasuke there, in order to prevent the Alliance Army from suddenly tearing it apart. Covenant, invade the hinterland of the ghost country.
It may seem like a casual move, but the importance of that team is self-evident.
"Because we and the Alliance are evenly matched when it comes to having different agendas. The alliance on paper is too fragile. If both of us had concentrated all our strength from the beginning, we would probably have invaded the Kingdom of Rain by now."
Hinata said sadly.
However, this kind of thing is impossible to happen.
It is impossible for the Alliance Army and the Kingdom of Ghosts not to set up defense lines in their own areas of influence to deal with possible betrayal by their "allies".
Especially the Kingdom of Ghosts cannot afford to bet on the dire consequences of a direct attack by the Alliance Army on the hinterland of the Kingdom of Ghosts. The industrial system established there must not be destroyed.
This resulted in the main forces of both sides being tied up in the rear, unable to pull out, and stuck in the quagmire.
But compared to the ninjas fighting on the front lines, these people are so lucky to be enjoying the final peace at the back.
"Continue to monitor the movements of the Country of Grass, and send another notice to their headquarters, urging them to advance quickly. After they control the entire Country of Grass and assemble their troops, the Country of Oni will cooperate with them to launch a general attack on Akatsuki .”
Yi Ji gave the order calmly.
Due to the rapid and violent fighting a while ago, the entire Kingdom of Birds has fallen into the hands of the Kingdom of Ghosts, and all obstacles to attacking the Kingdom of Rain have been removed.
Next, we only need to wait for the main force of the Alliance Army to occupy the entire Kingdom of Grass, and then they can jointly launch a general attack on Akatsuki and end the conquest of Akatsuki.
"yes."
Hinata bowed respectfully and exited the room.
Ichihime watched Hinata leave, and then focused her attention on the lava warriors who were out patrolling the border.
Hidden in the rain, high tower.
The patter of rain came from outside, making the room feel particularly quiet.
The Heavenly Way, which was made from the corpse of Sanshouyu Hanzo, the former leader of Amegakure, now stood with a scythe on his back like a puppet, with his eyes closed and motionless.
In addition, there was a Shura Dao with his head separated from his body. What was exposed at the wound was not human flesh and blood tissue, but mechanical parts.
"I underestimated them. I didn't expect that the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki's strength would suddenly increase so much in such a short period of time. He also learned the Uzumaki clan's Vajra Blockade. Even the Pains are no match for him."
Nagato looked at the defeated Heavenly Way and Shura Way. The remaining four paths were suppressed by King Kong's blockade, and their chakra was completely blocked, cutting off the psychic contract with him.
After all, the psychic technique uses chakra as its energy source. If the chakra is blocked, the psychic technique will naturally become ineffective.
Nagato has no hope of rescuing the four Penns left on the sea. Most of them have now been recovered by the Alliance Army.
"The country of Grass is not optimistic. Although some dragon beasts have been invested, it seems not ideal. If this continues, Bai Zetsu will not be able to hold on for long."
Konan said.
Although the use of Bai Jue's transformation ability has created certain obstacles for the Alliance Army, this obstacle will gradually lose effectiveness over time. "I didn't expect them to be able to accomplish anything, but to be able to do it to this extent has exceeded my expectations."
With that said, Nagato heard the sound of footsteps and turned his eyes to the source of the sound.
Beilihu walked out of the shadows, each carrying one person in his hand. Judging from their attire and the word "nin" on their foreheads, there was no doubt that they were ninjas affiliated with the Alliance Army.
"As requested, two Alliance prisoners have been brought over."
Bei Liuhu casually dropped the two of them. Due to the injection of drugs, the two Alliance ninjas were still unconscious. "Thanks for your hard work."
Nagato nodded, came to the two people who had fallen asleep, and examined them carefully with his samsara eyes. "The quality is good, barely up to the standard for carrying my Elephant Turn Technique."
Having said that, Nagato formed a seal with his hands without hesitation, and the light in his samsara eyes seemed to become deeper, revealing a strange and dark light. "ah!"
Painful sounds wailed from the mouths of the two Alliance ninjas, causing them to struggle to wake up from their drowsiness.
Unfortunately, the two people's sanity only lasted for a moment before they were deprived of it. Their pupils lost their light and their twitching movements stopped. Nagato put down his hands with seals, and the two people who were sleeping on the ground stood up.
Black red cloud coat, long red hair, bangs covering the right eye, and exposed left pupil, shining
It shines with the same light as the Samsara Eye, and exudes an extremely heart-stopping aura.
As the technique ended, Nagato let out a breath, and his eyes fell on the two clones who were reincarnated as living people. Not only did they look the same as him, but they also perfectly inherited the power of the reincarnation eye.
"Go ahead."
Without saying anything more, Nagato just slowly said these two words.
Tiandao, who was standing silently on the side, suddenly opened his eyes, and the two Xiangzhuan clones disappeared from the place in an instant, as if they had never existed.
