The disappearance of the four jinchūriki of the Earth Kingdom instantly broke the three-year peace of the ninja world.
There was no doubt, no speculation, and the finger pointed at the Akatsuki organization in neighboring countries, because according to the information collected by the ANBU, strangers wearing windbreakers embroidered with red clouds had appeared in the area where Lao Zi disappeared, and after careful comparison, That person is very similar to the wanted Uchiha Itachi!
This is almost a real deal.
However, facing the questions and threats from Iwagakure and Onoki, Sansho Hanzo from Amegakure Village still showed a strong attitude:
Excuses are useless,
War begins as soon as you set foot,
The Kingdom of Rain is definitely not a battlefield where any external force can dominate at will!
Faced with such a firm attitude, even the stubborn Sandaime Tsuchikage Onoki could not help but temporarily swallow such a bitter pill.
In this area, Sanshouyu Hanzo is the only opponent he does not want to face directly.
After all, the Stone Will of Yanyin Village is like a joke under the poisonous mist of the opponent, a bottomless pit that cannot be filled no matter how many lives it takes!
Of course, this does not mean that he has chosen to sit back and wait for death.
Joining forces with other ninja villages that have tailed beasts to put pressure on the Amegakure Village, this is what he does, a method that belongs to an iron-blooded leader!
Especially Konoha,
In recent years, due to the terrifying message that was like a sharp knife hanging on the neck, "Uchiha Madara is very likely to be resurrected", the connection between the two villages has become closer.
Even the relationship between the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Fire has heated up because of this, and even once surpassed the relationship between the Kingdom of Fire and its true ally, the Kingdom of Wind.
Therefore, the news that the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki disappeared and was suspected of being captured by the Akatsuki organization was immediately presented to the desk of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Similarly, the other four letters were personally visited by the ninjas of Iwagakure and delivered to the leaders of the four villages of Sunagakure, Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Takigakure one by one with solemn expressions.
Without exception, the letterheads were all affixed with the most urgent sign, as well as a personal warning belonging to His Excellency the Sandaime Iwakage and Onoki:
【Dear friends,
I believe you have all heard about what happened in the Kingdom of Earth.
Obviously, in the past three years, Akatsuki has never given up hunting tailed beasts and jinchūriki.
Now, this evil organization has awakened from dormancy and begun planning greater terror. I hope you can clearly and seriously realize the seriousness of this matter, and encourage your respective forces to abandon their past grievances, deepen cooperation, and work together to wipe out this unstable terrorist organization! 】
The Akatsuki organization's reactivation is definitely not groundless.
After all, not long after Lao Zi left Yanyin Village, he was targeted and hunted by the other party. Those guys were obviously watching their every move all the time.
As for the weird insider who passed on the news,
It is very likely that this was the information Konoha provided as a way to stabilize its own side three years ago when it was facing the Kirigakure village at the eastern border of the Fire Country:
The Akatsuki organization has a strange being who is proficient in earth escape ninjutsu.
He is able to quietly cross over natural punishments and obstacles that are insurmountable for ordinary people, and at the same time, he can hide his own aura extremely well when using ninjutsu.
Originally, Onoki didn't pay too much attention to such information, and even thought that the other party exaggerated the information in order to reassure himself.
After all, Earth Escape?
Conceal your own aura?
Iwagakure Village is all about earth escape, okay?
Can the so-called strange white creature really escape the perception of their elite subordinates?
Ohnoki didn't believe it, nor did he take it seriously enough.
If they didn't do any tricks when the battle started between Konoha and Kirigakure, this all-out battle would have ended too quickly. They would then hastily mobilize their troops and then forcibly divide the territory from the Fire Country. A piece of cake has no meaning at all.
Even if you can get something, you can't really convert it into your own land in a very short period of time, and build defenses that can resist Konoha's counterattack.
Moreover, what happened later was that the second-tailed Jinchūriki of Cloud Hidden Village was captured by the Akatsuki organization.
Under the precondition that the legendary man was very likely to recover, he had no intention of caring about these petty gains.
Now,
Ohnoki finally remembered again the message from Konoha, delivered personally by Hatake Kakashi.
That hateful bastard with the weird earth escape ability is probably always staying under their land, watching their every move.
Once there is any abnormal movement of the jinchuriki, that bastard guy will launch a thunderous hunting action without hesitation like a jackal that smells blood.
Come to think of it, that guy who was good at hiding was the internal agent and the source of intelligence for the horrific attack that broke out in Yunyin Village three years ago.
Only the Akatsuki organization would seize the moment when Yunyin Village's defense is at its weakest and launch an attack!
But,
Although Ohnoki spoke earnestly and even put down his past stubbornness and condescension, he had little effect.
First is the Kingdom of Wind, the old neighbor of the Kingdom of Earth.
When receiving such a letter, the fourth generation Kazekage Rasa threw it aside.
After all, in this area, the feud between Iwagakure and Sunagakure is well known, and it is simply impossible to resolve such a feud with just a few words.
Otherwise, the Kingdom of Wind would not just form an alliance with the Kingdom of Fire.
And to say it bluntly,
The four-tailed Jinchuuriki of Iwagakure Village was captured by the Akatsuki organization, which was great news for them.
You know, that Lao Zi is an almost perfect Jinchuuriki!
Although he has not yet been able to completely form a sibling-friend bond with the four-tailed Sun Wukong, he can still easily borrow the power of the tailed beasts.
Coupled with its own melting ninjutsu, almost no one can get close easily!
In the past Ninja World War, it caused great casualties to Sunagakure Village.
Now, if a top-level being who is worthy of being ranked first is removed from Iwagakure Village, how can the senior management of Sunagakure Village not be secretly happy?
Especially Luo Sha,
Although he had always behaved calmly during his reign, only those who truly understood and were close to the fourth generation Kazekage would understand.
There has always been an ambitious long-cherished wish buried in his heart:
Expand the territory of the Kingdom of Wind and let Sand Hidden Village completely get out of this barren land!
In order to achieve this goal, he even sealed the one-tailed natural disaster Shukaku, which contained terrifying power, in the body of his own son!
However, it is a pity that due to the mysterious disappearance of the third generation, known as the strongest Kazekage, and the death of the previous jinchuriki, the monk Fenfuku, the sealing technique that exists within Sunagakure Village is not perfect.
This directly caused Shukaku, who was transplanted into Gaara's body, to be in an unstable state for a long time, and was easily affected by the host's emotions, which in turn led to the loosening of the seal and the occurrence of riots.
Moreover, riots from One-Tail have occurred several times in the past ten years, and there are no signs of being controlled as the host ages.
It can even be said that this terrifying war weapon that Sunagakure Village worked hard to create has not really made any achievements, but it has already injured too many residents and ninjas in its own base camp.
Therefore, the Akatsuki organization's hunting of tailed beasts has little impact on Sunagakure Village.
After all, in the past ten years, most of the top executives have wanted to eliminate this monster that does more harm than good!
Also expressing their rejection were Takigakure and Kirigakure.
Of course, unlike the indifferent Sunagakure, they all gave a relatively formal reason.
The reason given by the former is that he has long retreated from the world and is unwilling to participate in some large-scale battles in the ninja world.
But the real reason is because of his own lack of strength.
As the only force outside the Five Great Ninja Villages that possesses tailed beasts, Takigakure was originally very proud of itself.
However, this is the name that their predecessors established during the Warring States Period. The current strength of Takigakure Village is not as strong as before, so once it participates in the operation to enter the five major ninja villages, it can be expected that it will be used as cannon fodder and pawns. matter.
Village Chief Shiki, who recognized this, directly chose to refuse. Even if the purpose of the Akatsuki organization was really to hunt all tailed beasts, then it would be the best choice for them to stick to their own natural dangers.
As for Kirigakure, the reason given is also very straightforward:
【Recuperate and recuperate. 】
Ten years of blood mist, coupled with the decisive battle with the Fire Country's eastern border, directly caused an extremely serious gap in the strength of this originally well-established force.
If we deploy our troops to fight in the distant Country of Rain at this moment, we will simply hollow out our base camp.
What?
Send ordinary ninjas there to act as a union?
What's the difference between that and pushing your own tribe into a pit of fire!
[Of course, we will strictly monitor the three-tails and six-tails to prevent them from making any mistakes. 】
Regarding the tailed beast, Kirigakure naturally made a guarantee in the letter.
At the same time, something worth paying attention to is:
[I believe that Mr. Onoki can also understand the difficulties of our Kirigakure Village, and he will not insist on embarrassing a little girl like me, right? 】
This is the last paragraph on the letterhead,
And the signature is:
[The Fifth Mizukage· Terumi Mei! 】
Kumogakure vetoed.
Such a strong attitude may be a retaliation for the failure of other forces to agree to their proposed alliance three years ago, or it may be that they have other plans.
After all, Yunyin, who used to be on the front line, had already fallen from the high clouds in the incident three years ago.
Moreover, Kirigakure next door had already entered a state of recuperation, and he rushed to the distant Rain Country rashly. Without enough achievements, the subsequent situation must be very worrying.
Of course, the most important point is that the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki was hidden by them in a place where others can never find it!
As long as Kirabi has experienced the baptism of the real waterfall and can perfectly control the Eight-Tails, then Kumogakure will have the confidence to turn over the cards again.
Konoha actually wanted to agree;
Whether it is the Akatsuki organization that is right next to them, or Uchiha Madara who may be resurrected, they are threats that cannot be ignored for the Fire Nation.
However, two recent major events have directly disrupted the plans of the Sandaime Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Chief Huang, what do you want to do?"
"No ANBU member has set foot on the Uchiha clan recently!"
When the boy who was engraved in the memories of all ANBU appeared again in the field of vision, the nerves of the two ANBU teams stationed there were tense instantly. And at the moment of warning, these eight elite ninjas had already launched an encirclement battle. .
Faced with such an existence, they really didn't dare to take it lightly.
And what I didn’t realize is,
The first sentence they blurted out turned out to be: 'You have not made any mistakes, please don't cause trouble for them'!
Is this still the intimidating ANBU with all its elite members?
"Ah."
Looking at the ANBU elites who were like frightened birds in front of them, Huang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
However, before the demeanor of those guys changed due to the ridicule, they responded with a cold voice:
"Did you really regard this place as your own nest, so you lost track of time?"
"Now, get out of here."
There was no doubt in the young man's cold voice of expelling guests.
And at this moment, through the words blurted out by the devil, they remembered something.
There is a time limit for being grounded!
Three years sounds like a long time, but it flies by in an instant.
"I, we need to report to Lord Hokage. Before that, please..."
One of the ANBU team captains said bravely.
The unfolding of such an incident was really beyond their expectations. The superiors didn't know what happened, but they didn't even issue any notice at such an important time point.
But before he could finish speaking,
A ghost-like figure suddenly descended in front of him,
'Boom! '
There was no reaction, no resistance.
The ANBU elite's previous vigilance seemed like a joke. He was instantly hit by a huge force, and his whole body fell to the ground like a kite with its string cut off.
And it's not just him, the other seven companions are also like this.
I felt a strong wind blowing across my face, and heard a loud roar in my ears. The demon who was still dozens of meters away from them had actually broken through their formation, and killed a veteran with a single blow. The elite ninjas of the war have lost their ability to fight!
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
The pupils are trembling,
The pores are shrinking,
Cold sweat has already filled my back,
When the young man's cold whisper fell, there was also an extremely cold and oppressive feeling. This substantial aura, like a heavy fog, instantly suppressed them and made them almost breathless! !
"It's just a few dogs raised by that old guy."
The most sarcastic mockery fell again.
However, these seven people could not even speak a word of doubt lightly, and even their backs were gradually becoming rickety.
because,
That rascal,
That rascal!
Just the overwhelming power and the murderous aura escaping made them unable to lift their heads!
humiliation,
indignation,
unbearable,
All the violent emotions converged in the chests of these fully trained elites, but in the end they could only turn into a ball of helpless reluctance.
three years,
This guy has become stronger again!
"You guys really haven't made any progress in the past three years."
"Boring."
After casting a contemptuous glance at the ANBU members who were unable to raise any resistance under the power of 'Mingjing Shisui', Ara walked away.
The day is getting closer.
And just after he left, the seven ANBU ninjas who had bent down to resist the pressure collapsed to the ground with relief, panting like cattle, with panic in their eyes, and for a moment they forgot to report to the Sandaime.
