That night,
A group of outsiders with terrifying strength traveled through the storm area and arrived in front of a towering city standing in the desert, and there were already people waiting here.
"It's a little later than scheduled, Lord Orochimaru."
Paying attention to the feminine face under the bamboo hat, Ma Ji's face still had the same resolute and emotionless look, without any joy and enthusiasm as a host to welcome guests.
Because until now, he still couldn't judge whether his master Kazekage's choice to cooperate with such an extremely dangerous rebellious nin was right or wrong.
"Don't be rude to Orochimaru!"
The words and deeds of the shinobi of Sunagakure Village naturally aroused dissatisfaction among Orochimaru's followers.
The four people who were standing side by side at the end of the team took a step forward, and when they yelled, they also burst out with unconcealed hostility.
Completely ignoring the majestic sand city in front of him and the military deterrence brought by the nearly a hundred Sunagakure ninjas standing on it.
However, this action was quickly stopped by another man in front of them.
I saw him lightly tapping his glasses on the bridge of his nose and then said slowly:
"I'm really sorry. Due to the storm, we were delayed a little while on the way."
From Kabuto Yakushi's voice, one could hear the apology and sincerity for not arriving on time.
But in the next second, he added unhurriedly:
"However, storms in the Kingdom of Wind seem to have become more frequent in recent years."
The nonchalant words instantly made Ma Ji, who had always kept a straight face, darken his face.
How could he not be able to tell what the other person meant?
This means that the environment in their Country of Wind is getting worse and worse!
But this is also an indisputable fact. The cultivation of ninja and the expenditure on armaments are a big drain on money.
Under such prerequisites, being able to maintain the environment around the village is a good result. Where is the spare money to manage the environment of the entire Kingdom of Wind?
And if you want to change the already broken nature for the better, that is a bottomless pit with no hope.
Or it can be said directly that it is difficult to reach by manpower!
Instead of going through all the trouble to transform it, it would be better to just complete it once and own it forever.
at this moment,
Ma Ji finally understood the good intentions of his master Kazekage in choosing to dance with wolves.
During this time, the effeminate man at the head of the team never spoke, and allowed the subordinates behind him to negotiate with the people in front of them, without worrying at all whether there would be any adverse consequences from such a small conflict.
After all, he was sure that man couldn't wait for his help!
I can't wait to take advantage of the environment where the rocks, clouds, and fog are dormant to do something shocking to the world! !
"My lord has been waiting in the reception room for a long time."
"Please follow me."
Marky, who had always been unsmiling, bowed slightly and opened a passage with his arms.
This is already a polite welcome in a sense.
Because he is a veteran Jonin of Sunagakure Village, representing strength and prestige.
"good."
"I haven't seen Mr. Luo Sha for several months."
Seeing this, the corners of Orochimaru's mouth raised slightly, and a feminine and a little hoarse response was revealed at this moment.
However, under the covering cloak, a sharp and cold light burst out.
【Subordinate's fault,】
[Then the leader will have to apologize. 】
.........
.........
The rain keeps falling,
Xili Li's voice kept hitting everything in the town.
The country of rain is a country with few sunny days.
'Tap tap tap. '
Accompanied by a rapid trampling sound, a ninja wearing a rain cap and a gas mask on his forehead, symbolizing the rain cover on his forehead, walked from far to near.
And he was allowed into the central building in the town without being blocked or interrogated by any open or hidden sentries.
But in the past,
Or to put it bluntly, it was absolutely impossible to have such an unimpeded situation a month ago.
But now, the entire area has fallen into an almost dead silence.
Especially under this gloomy sky and the constant drizzle, this feeling of twilight and sadness becomes more and more clear.
'Dong-dong-dong. '
The Amegakure ninja who entered the central pavilion hurriedly crossed the long passage and pushed open the door of the inner hall, and immediately knelt half in front of the dimly lit inner hall door.
"Hanzo-sama, urgent report from the border, border!"
He lifted up his cloak to protect him from the rain, and looked up at the square grid separated by barriers, with a very frightened expression on his face.
And if you look carefully under the dim light, you will see that not only rain is flowing on Yu Zhi’s face, but also bright red blood!
I don’t know what kind of price was paid for this piece of information to be delivered here.
However, faced with such an urgent message that cost a lot of money, the person sitting in the grille didn't seem to care, or in other words, he didn't dare to listen in the first place.
After brewing and suppressing it for a long time, he completely suppressed the restlessness and uneasiness in his heart, and squeezed out one simple word in his usual calm tone:
"explain."
The border of Yuyin Village is composed of the four countries of earth, fire, wind and grass.
Among them, the first three are all first-class big countries, while the last Country of Grass is a wallflower with basically no independent will and nothing to fear.
And often lend national roads for military operations of great powers.
Although the Kingdom of Grass can still maintain its existence thanks to these years of swings, some lands have fallen into the pockets of the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Earth during years of disputes.
However, this kind of land loss cannot be said to be a bad thing entirely.
Because this allows the two great countries of Fire and Earth to truly have a bordering area, a series of wars no longer need to pass through the Country of Grass, avoiding the consequences of the latter itself being affected by the war.
And this area has also become the place where there was the most friction between Iwagakure Village and Konoha in peacetime.
The reason why Sanshouyu Hanzo sent his subordinates to find out the news when he was short of manpower was because a few days ago, his psychic beast Ibushi escaped with scars, and in an extremely simple way After communicating with his master, he fell into a deep sleep.
In order to protect the ninjas of Konoha, it couldn't use poison directly, and it was too seriously injured.
The last scene in Yu Zhi's memory was of the overwhelming Iwagakure ninja, a small figure standing high in the sky, and the young man with whom he had made an agreement.
Iwagakure, one of the five great ninja villages, would actually fall in love with a genin who is not yet a minor!
Even the old man, the current Tsuchikage Onoki, personally attended the war. What an incredible thing!
Such a scene made Sanshouyu Hanzo, who was regarded as a demigod, feel uneasy.
Because of the past competition, they could no longer understand the strength of the five major ninja villages.
This is simply a dead end that cannot be solved! !
Coupled with the closed environment of the Kingdom of Rain and the evacuated ears and eyes, he seemed to be blind in the pavilion. It was not until a few days after the incident that he received the first information report.
"yes."
After hearing this, the Amegakure ninja who hurried back took a breath and said in a deep voice:
"According to the information sent back by our companions on the border, Iwagakure Village was defeated, and countless broken war blades and Iwagakure forehead protectors were scattered throughout the field."
Such a result did not make Sanshouyu Hanzo put down his uneasy mood.
Because this was within his expectations.
He has already experienced the power of that person. No matter what the outcome of the war is, Yanyin Village will definitely lose its skin!
Moreover, this is the fighting method adopted by the Iwagakure ninjas who inherited the will of stone.
"At the moment, the Earth Kingdom has temporarily announced a blockade of the entire country, but any ninja who dares to set foot on the border will be dealt a devastating blow."
Another useless message.
Hanzo, the Sansho Fish, was standing inside the grille, and the uneasiness in his eyes became more and more restless.
Because this can only show that Iwagakure Village really suffered a serious blow in this war, nothing more.
At the same time, it also means that at the premise of paying a huge price, that old guy Onoki is bound to gain greater benefits, otherwise, he will never evacuate easily!
[Did I really bet wrong? 】
For a moment, Sanshouyu Hanzo felt deep regret in his heart.
If you think about it carefully, entrusting all the matters to the Uchiha clan who are even more distressed than the situation is simply a desperate decision to seek medical treatment!
It would be better to gather all the strength together, take advantage of our geographical advantage, and go all-out to fight the Xiao organization to the death.
Now, without the protection of that person, the Kingdom of Tang is destined to become a meal shared by others!
What a pity to the thousands of Yuyin's disciples! !
I failed to make the right decision in the past, and this time I gave my hopes to others wrongly.
[Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Ara. 】
[Oh, Konoha, he really fell into ruins! 】
As his thoughts became more and more collapsed, and the desolate mood of a hero in his twilight years could be felt in the entire inner hall, the messenger who took a breath slowly continued to add:
"Uchiha Ara, who participated in this incident, has returned to Konoha Hidden Village."
"Not only Uchiha Ara, it seems that the Uchiha clan also participated in this battle."
"My companions who were approaching said that they heard the Konoha ninjas cleaning up the battlefield talking. This is the first time that clan has stepped out of the village to perform a mission after experiencing the incident five years ago."
This time, the courier reported all the information in one breath.
But after telling all the information, the expression on his face suddenly became a little sad.
Because the companions who obtained this information stayed abroad forever.
silence,
Deathly silence.
It wasn't until a long time ago that an endless inquiry rang out from the inner hall, which was filled with dim yellow light:
"He, they are still alive?"
There seemed to be a little vibrato in that person's voice!
The atmosphere in the entire inner hall also became extremely sticky and depressing under such questioning.
It's no wonder that he would ask this, after all, everyone knows that the Uchiha clan is no longer the powerful and powerful clan it once was.
"Not yet."
"All my companions who went to the border died in the line of duty, and the last one died in my arms after delivering the message."
Uesugi Makoto controlled the sadness in his heart and responded.
Such an answer also caused Sanshouyu Hanzo to fall into silence again.
Although his subordinates misunderstood and gave another answer, this answer was also painful to him.
Because the ninjas of Yuyin Village who stayed behind were all loyal followers who knew they would die on the road ahead and chose to stay without even frowning.
"In the past, I was wrong."
After silence, he said.
If he had not chosen to believe Shimura Danzo's lies, then the current Rain Country must be a prosperous and progressive country, instead of showing a state of bipolar division and civil strife.
As soon as these words came out, the entire inner palace was shocked.
The demigod of the ninja world who had been dictatorial for half his life actually apologized to his subordinates at this time.
This is simply unimaginable!
Because he symbolizes the gods in Yuyin Village, and what he says and does is the will of the gods!
"Lord Hanzo, you are right!"
"That's right, Hanzo-sama, you don't need to blame yourself. Without you, the Country of Rain would have become the same as the Country of Grass next door, a broken country in the wind and rain."
"It's because those traitors don't understand the general situation, and it's because my subordinates are too weak to kill them all!"
"..."
The defenders all around roared.
Every word, every sentence comes from the heart.
"enough."
"What's wrong is wrong."
"There's nothing to quibble about."
Sanshouyu Hanzo pushed open the grille and stood barefoot in this dark inner hall.
Ten years have passed since the Zixiao organization emerged and the self-separation pattern emerged. He has been huddled in this huge 'cage' for ten years.
That boy is right, even the mightiest lion will have its inherent fangs and claws wiped out during these days of confinement, let alone humans?
This is no longer our time.
"Hanzo-sama......"
Upon hearing such words, a chorus of mournful cries rang out.
They seemed to have foreseen something.
"No matter what, we will always follow Hanzo-sama."
The nine Yugakure elites present roared. Compared to the Kanda who led Yugakure's army to leave, they were no weaker in strength. What they lacked was that they were of the same race and surname as the adults they served.
"Uchiha Ara and his clan have returned to Konoha safely, right?"
However, Sanshouyu Hanzo ignored the requests and declarations of his subordinates, and instead asked the ninja responsible for the message.
"yes,"
"Now in the Fire Country, perhaps not only the Fire Country, the entire ninja world is spreading the word about the Uchiha clan's revival."
Uesugi Makoto replied in a deep voice.
On one side is a family reborn from the ashes, and on the other side is oneself who is forced to become a stranger.
Such a comparison makes my mood really complicated.
"good."
"very good!"
After hearing the news, Sanshouyu Hanzo finally cleared away some of the frustration and indignation in his heart.
[To challenge and even defeat a top ninja village with the power of a clan, he is worthy of being an Uchiha! ! 】
That person did not disappoint him after all.
At the same time, recalling the days when I was deceived in the past, a nameless feeling of joy also surged in my chest.
[In front of the Akatsuki organization, I lost. 】
[But in front of Uchiha, in front of that person, how can you please? 】
【What a wonderful reincarnation! ! 】
