It's night, Miaomu Mountain, a monastery. Where the stars fall, there are countless petrified toad statues. In the center of these toad statues, a young man with short blond hair is sitting cross-legged on the ground, silently sensing and accumulating the natural energy from heaven and earth.
And he has been sitting here for nearly a month, and he has not done anything extra except necessary eating.
Not far away, Jiraiya, who was wearing a forehead protector with the word "Oil", looked blankly at the proud disciple in his field of vision, with a clear haggard look filling his weather-beaten eyes.
He failed after all, regarding the upcoming war and the old fox Shimura Danzo's insistence on his own way.
Fog, clouds, rocks, sand, including the Country of Fire, no village speaker or daimyo is willing to listen to his advice to end the war. Even the Iron Country, which has declared permanent neutrality to the outside world, is gathering strength to Get involved in tomorrow's action.
Just because Shimura Danzo promised too much, it was considered a great honor to have a junior from the Ninja Village and a daimyo from another country willing to call him "senpai" or "one of the three ninjas" during the meeting.
As for asking these villages and these ninja leaders to break away and end the war that is about to break out, there is no room for conversation at all.
He is just a has-been ninja, without any power, and his illusory prestige is even less likely to shake the will of other ninja village leaders in their respective villages.
Coerced by interests, hatred, and many factors, this action has reached the point where it has to be launched!
No one wants to miss this feast of sharing profits. After all, the prophecy from the Great Toad Immortal of Miaomu Mountain is their belief in victory!
! Now the only hope that Jiraiya can place his hope on is his disciple, Uzumaki Naruto. Because the Great Toad Sage also predicted that he would be the son of destiny who could change the pattern of the ninja world and bring peace to the world!
! But is it still too late? When he thought about the full-scale action that would break out when the demon was sealed tomorrow, he felt that there was no longer any hope.
"Little Jiraiya." When he was looking at Uzumaki Naruto absentmindedly, a low call fell into his ears.
At the same time, his left shoulder sank slightly.
"Fukasaku-sama." Jiraiya responded respectfully when he saw the person coming. The suppressed emotions that could not be dismissed could be clearly heard in Yu's dry voice.
During the years of traveling across the continent, he had seen too much suffering caused by war. Therefore, just from our own standpoint, we do not want any war to break out, let alone see anyone die as a result of the war.
What he looked forward to had never changed, which was the reconciliation between the ninjas. Sensing little Jiraiya's depressed mood, Toad Fukasaku couldn't help but sigh.
He is naturally able to empathize with this child's inner emotions.
"You've done everything you can do."
"No matter how things turn out, you have a clear conscience." He comforted him. But this kind of comfort only received Jiraiya's silent bitter smile, and he felt that he had done nothing.
After all, he could not change anything until the end, and he could not even take the initiative to inform the innocent residents of Yuno Country to evacuate in advance!
His eyes squinted, and the remaining light from the corner of his eyes quietly fell on the white-haired boy at the edge of his field of vision. The young guy in white robes was looking curiously at the petrified toad in front of him.
Suddenly, he seemed to feel the gaze being watched, and then he retracted his gaze from looking at the toad statue, and faced the other person's gaze. He even stretched out his palm to shake it, his smiling cheeks were like sunshine. Greeted as kindly as a boy.
But in this regard, Jiraiya could not have any friendly thoughts in his heart. [Heilihu,] [Unexpectedly, Danzo Shimura found you too.
】Everywhere he went was monitored by this guy. Although the other party did not prevent him from going to any alliance, once he wanted to inform the country of Yu, this guy would block him like a ghost, and declared unscrupulously: "Listen to Danzo. , the current leader of the Uchiha clan is a very interesting guy, I want to have a fight with him."
"So, please don't interfere randomly."
"Otherwise, I will have to kill you first, Jiraiya."
"Jie Jie." Jiraiya couldn't imagine why his once gentle old acquaintance turned into such a morbid appearance, and even reversed his growth into a teenager!
You know, this is a companion who lived at the same time as him! !
"Leave him alone, Jiraiya."
"Shimura Danzo sent another message asking for Uzumaki Naruto. In response, the child's mother has arrived at the coalition camp."
"Now, the Great Toad Sage wants you to come over, and he wants to hear your final results personally." Toad Fukasakuaki is also somewhat dissatisfied with that weird human being, but Danzo Shimura threatens to liberate the power of the heretic golem. Under this situation, Miaomu could only choose to cooperate and be patient with the subordinates recruited by that person.
Hearing this, Jiraiya's heart suddenly twitched, but as Toad Fukasaku said, everything he could do has been done, and the rest can only be left to fate.
"I understand, I'll be there right away." Not long after Jiraiya and Toad Fukasaku left, Uzumaki Naruto, who was sitting among the stone statues, suddenly opened his eyes, and sharp light burst out from his pupils. , there are lines similar to orange eye shadow and the bottom of the eyebrows are revealed.
There is no doubt that it is the special secret technique and immortal method unique to Shanda Holy Land, the immortal mode! While maintaining this special state, a voice filled with complex emotions sounded from his mouth: "We are going to meet again."
"Desolate."......................A hidden cave in the Country of Fire.
"Tsk, I really didn't expect that it was you who resurrected me." A feminine voice sounded faintly from the cave, and a man with long black hair, a tall figure, and an inexplicable mucus wrapped around his body slowly walked out of it.
"I want revenge, so give me all your power, otherwise, I won't mind killing you again." Looking at the snake that emerged from the belly of the snake, with white mucus on its hair and clothes, Sasuke, a feminine man, didn't show any look of disgust, he just made a cold declaration.
A declaration that you want the people in front of you to do things for you!
"By the way, I would like to remind you that the curse seal on Mitarashi Anko has been used by me. If you die again, you will really go to hell." Hearing this, Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes also The smell of danger emerged unconsciously.
At the same time, he could also feel that the curse mark he had left on the former had completely disappeared. This means that the other party is right. If he dies again, he will indeed lose the way to be resurrected through the curse seal.
Of course, one important thing is that he can clearly feel that the Uchiha genius in front of him has become more powerful at this moment!
If you fight against it with your current situation, you may not be able to gain any advantage. and..........
"What's wrong with your right eye? Why do you look like Danzo?" Looking at the former's pupils covered by white gauze, Orochimaru jumped left and right on the line of death as if he didn't answer the question.
Such a reply immediately made Sasuke feel a little excited, as if an invisible hand was pressing hard on a wound on his body that had not yet healed.
However, he still suppressed the anger in his heart. Facing that person, he needs strength, more strength!
At least it's not weaker than Itachi's power! ! Orochimaru was the best candidate he could think of. Cold, cunning, and capable of using all possible means, he can strike a fatal blow in a dark corner at any time!
He needs such people to play a decisive role in winning or losing at critical moments.
"Do you want to see it?"
"Of course I can show you."
"But are you ready to become my slave forever?" Sasuke placed a palm on the bandage on his right eye, and the edge of his finger had already been pulled to the edge of the bandage. With just a little more force, he could pull it away. Give it to retreat.
At the same time, through the thin white bandage, you can see a faint red light bursting out and seeping from it. Such intimidation and gesture undoubtedly shocked Orochimaru, and a shuddering sense of crisis spread under his skin.
【What he said is true. 】This conclusion is already established in his heart. He would figure out the secret beneath the white bandage, but definitely not now.
The stage of revenge is also the best time for hunting.
"So, revenge on whom?"
"Is it Uchiha Itachi? Or Konoha?" Orochimaru decisively changed the topic again. However, the answer he got made his eyes shrink and his body tense up again.
"neither,"
"The person I want to take revenge on now is: Uchiha Ara." The cold words squeezed out bit by bit from Sasuke's lips and teeth, and the surging anger surged along with the scarlet that filled his eyes.
"What an interesting goal."
"I can help you, but with all due respect, the three melons and two dates you lead now may not even be able to defeat his ninja swordsmen." Orochimaru's vertical pupils were filled with excitement.
Although he didn't understand what happened after his 'death', Uchiha Ara became the child's primary hunting target.
But this kind of change is what he wants to see. After all, Uchiha Sasuke's body is his next best choice. The perfect body he really wants is still Uchiha Ara!
!
"Hey." Being swept away by Orochimaru's lingering light, Suigetsu suddenly shrank behind Jugo, his whole body trembling as if he was about to become hydrated again.
Although he was now protected by Sasuke, the days when the smelly snake in front of him was used as a guinea pig experiment still left an indelible shadow in his heart.
Therefore, even if the other party mentions the ninja swordsmen touched by the order, he cannot make him think of interjecting. He just wants to reduce his own presence to the minimum.
"I know." Sasuke replied calmly. Such an answer somewhat surprised Orochimaru. He thought he would say something unconvincing due to his cold temperament, but unexpectedly he directly admitted the gap between the two.
"But this time, the entire ninja world is attacking him, so he will definitely die." He continued to add, looking at Orochimaru's face that was constantly blooming with surprise.
"I've said all that needs to be said, let's go now." After saying that, Sasuke no longer wanted any response, so he left the hidden cave and started heading towards the established direction.
Jugo and Onito Suigetsu followed, but the latter always maintained a sense of distance from Orochimaru.
"interesting,"
“It’s so fun!”
"Who is capable of planning this feast? Is it you, Sandaime? No, you should be dead."
"So, Danzo Shimura?"
"It seems like a lot of interesting things happened after I died."
"Sa, let me watch how you deal with this big crisis, Uchiha Ara!" While murmuring emotionally, Orochimaru's long dark purple tongue licked its dryness several times. Her lips and teeth were filled with endless anticipation and madness dancing in her eyes.
........North, Mountain Tomb, this is an uninhabited land belonging to the Kingdom of Iron. At this moment, the soil here begins to tremble gently without warning. I woke up to see if any small animals woke up from their sleep. They looked around in fear, but for a while they didn't know where to escape.
Because it doesn't look like some kind of disaster is coming, but like there are countless insect beasts marching orderly underground.
.....At the border of the Kingdom of Frost, a ninja team suddenly stopped moving forward. Going forward was about to reach the border of the Kingdom of Tang.
"Put it here." As the leader spoke, the ninjas behind Yu who were already suffering a lot immediately put down the wooden frame they were carrying on their shoulders as if they were relieved.
There is also a weird thing that tends to be square on top of this wooden frame. However, this thing is completely covered by a black curtain, making it difficult for people to see clearly what is placed below.
However, judging from its rugged and ferocious appearance, it is definitely not a good thing. As the leader, Wuwei also placed his palms on the curtain.
"Wait, wait, I will be able to let you out tomorrow."
"Unstained"..........Meanwhile, Heiankyo, the waters of Arakawa.
The deep blue sea was suffused with red without warning, and the entire sea surface seemed to be covered with a layer of red sunset.
But now, it is clearly night! Standing on the highest cliff of Mount Suzuka and looking towards the sky, as expected, this sudden change came from the sky, or to be more precise, from outside the territory!
!
"That is?"
"Bloody Moon?"
"The place where it fell is in the direction of Kyoto?"
"..." Discussions rang in his ears, and solemn ripples appeared in Huang's eyes. With the power of special pupils, even though he was thousands of miles away, he could still feel the surging energy wrapped in the falling blood moon!
!
"Master Onmyoji, Xiaocao feels a little uneasy. That red evil light seems to be swallowing up the world." Xiaocao on the side suddenly spoke, with substantial worry on his face.
The Lord of Arakawa immediately wanted to leave for Kyoto, because that was where the little goldfish went.
Since the place where the strange 'Blood Moon' fell is Kyoto, there is no doubt that Kyoto will be the most severely affected!
!
"Master Onmyoji, Miss Xiaocao is right."
"What should we do about that moon-like thing, wrapped in a heart-stopping energy?" Suzuka Gozen also cast his gaze at this moment, and the commanding power of the lord of demons and monsters made him ask for advice involuntarily.
And there was a murderous indifference in Huang's eyes. He was careless, he was still careless, thinking that the old toad's prediction was wrong, but now it seems that everything is just right!
Even if he rushed back to Kyoto immediately, it would still take a day. What to do? Do you believe that the power of Seimei and Minamoto no Yorimitsu can solve this sudden change?
