Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 222 The lingering terror in Iwa Ninja’s heart

The retreat of the Iwa ninja only took a few kilometers back. Under the command of the Tsuchikage, they gathered on the last earth mountain and expanded the scale of the earth mountain as quickly as possible, intending to resist to the end.

Orochimaru frowned when he saw that the Iwa Ninja gave up all the technical tactics and began to build the strongest defense and fight the stupidest battle.

No, it should have been the Iwa-nin who attacked Konoha's position, not Konoha's attack on the Iwa-nin.

Moreover, it is difficult to deal with such a group of Iwa Ninjas. There are too many Iwa Ninjas, enough to organize a very large-scale legion of ninjutsu, and the losses suffered by launching an attack at this time will be too great.

But if they retreat like this, Iwa Ninja will definitely continue to expand the mountain, and even push forward to slowly force Konoha to retreat.

Although wasting the enemy's time is an established strategy, being forced to retreat step by step is absolutely unacceptable.

Continuous retreat will seriously deplete the morale of the ninjas and cause people's hearts to be in turmoil. If something unexpected happens at this time, the risk of defeat will skyrocket.

While Orochimaru was in a dilemma, Aburame Tetsumaru was watching the Konoha ninjas who had occupied three mountains clean up the battlefield.

Although this was only a short-lasting battle, the ninjas fought on an open battlefield on a large scale, causing considerable casualties to each other.

Aburame Tetsumaru ignored the Iwa Ninjas. They had just attacked him and his insects, and he had lost more than thirty giant insects. There was nothing to sympathize with.

But the casualties of Konoha ninjas Aburame Tetsumaru cannot be ignored. Among them are the ninjas of the Aburame family wearing sunglasses, who are probably their cousins, and the ninjas of the Uchiha family, most of whom have no eyes open.

There are also members of the Inuzuka family. It is true that things can get into trouble easily if they are too reckless, but the most common ones are civilian ninjas whose origins cannot be traced at all. They are young and immature.

Aburame Tetsumaru turned his head and looked at Orochimaru, and found that he was staring closely at the earth mountain occupied by the Iwa Ninja, his eyes wandering, and it was obvious that he could not make up his mind.

After Minato Namikaze finished handling the evacuation of the wounded, he walked behind Orochimaru and also frowned, looking at Iwa Ninja worried.

Minato couldn't understand what the Iwa-nin was doing. The defeat just now had doomed the Iwa-nin to a complete defeat in this war. The defeat was clearly determined. Why did the Iwa-nin continue to fight, turn around and go home to end the war? This was the best for everyone.

All good choices.

It just so happens that the best commander of Konoha Village and the ninja who knows the Iwa Ninja best is here. If you don't understand anything, you can ask.

Namikaze Minato asked: "Lord Orochimaru, what are the Third Tsuchikage Onoki thinking? They should retreat. Continuing to fight is just a waste of the lives of both parties."

Orochimaru sneered and replied: "What do you think the Kage is? He can't help himself. The character of the Iwa ninja is stubborn. They don't care about the situation. The victory or defeat cannot be persuaded."

"If enough of these Iwa ninjas survive, they will never bow their heads and admit defeat."

"Is this so?" Minato Namikaze looked very ugly, "How many people have to die before it can end?"

"There are still 4,400 Iwa-nins on the other side. If 2,500 Iwa-nins die, they will probably admit the reality."

Orochimaru let out a long sigh and said: "It's hard to kill so many Iwa ninjas, especially this time they are gathered together, it will be even more difficult."

Dust Release has the strongest attack, Boiling Release has extreme speed, and Molten Release has group damage. The three shadow-level powers of Rock Ninja are combined together to make up for each other's shortcomings. They can deal with any situation, which is really impressive.

There is nothing one can do.

Moreover, two of them are Jinchuuriki, even if they are exhausted, it will not work unless they are forcibly bulldozed with powerful force.

…

Lao Zi shouted loudly as soon as they met: "Humph, I just said that we shouldn't separate, but in the end, everyone broke up."

Ohnoki was in such a bad mood right now, how could he coddle Lao Zi and interrupt: "You never said this, you are just thinking about it as an afterthought."

"Ha, you made a wrong decision and you don't allow others to tell you?"

Then the two old men even started to expose each other's shortcomings, even revealing the embarrassing story of the other party's bedwetting decades ago.

The surrounding Iwa ninjas wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. It was really embarrassing. Their Kage and Jinchuuriki were actually arguing like children. Moreover, he had heard so much dirty information from Tsuchikage and Lao Murasaki. It was really embarrassing.

Doesn't it matter?

Normally, a ninja with high enough status would come to smooth things over at this time, such as Steam Ninja Han, but now this ninja can't protect himself, and he can still take care of such trivial matters as breaking up a fight. Two old men can argue casually, but they can't fight anyway.

stand up.

The steam ninja took off his broken armor, and a medical ninja stood behind him, treating the wounds on his back.

Han's back was hit by the Rasengan three times in a row. His entire back was completely smashed, his ribs were shattered, his spine was broken, his flesh and blood were twisted in a spiral shape, and blood was dripping down.

The Iwa Ninja's level of medical ninja was very average. Faced with such a serious wound, there was no way to deal with it. He was so busy and sweating that he could only help Han alleviate a little pain.

Fortunately, Han is a Jinchuuriki who can mobilize the tailed beast's chakra and has extraordinary recovery ability. With the help of the medical ninja, the injury is healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ohnoki and Lao Zi soon stopped arguing. After venting, their emotions stabilized and they each sat back on the horse.

Ohnoki waved his hand to ask the surrounding Iwa ninja to retreat, and then said: "After experiencing this defeat, we have lost the chance of victory, and the outcome of the defeat is irreversible."

"I think we should retreat to save as many ninjas as possible. But I just learned that the ninjas below don't think so. You can't retreat, and you can't advance."

Lao Zi is also a group that insists on fighting. He expressed his objection with dissatisfaction: "I also object that a temporary defeat does not mean anything. Let's fight Konoha again. Why do you think we will lose?"

Ohnoki asked: "Why is your battle so easy? Can you defeat Orochimaru?"

Lao Zi was stunned: "That's not true. Orochimaru is much more difficult to deal with than in the last war. I can't take him down."

Lao Zi turned his head to look at Han and shook his head. Han was seriously injured by the 'Golden Flash', and he was the most dangerous among the three.

When Han saw Lao Zi looking at him, he could only smile bitterly: "If we fight again, I need support. Namikaze Minato is too fast. I haven't even hit him yet."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to provide effective support. 'Insect Master' Aburame Tetsumaru is also a very difficult ninja." Onoki said in a deep voice: "I didn't realize it when I had never been in contact with him before, but now I have

I have a very bad feeling, does this 'Insect Master' have 'that'?"

Lao Zi was stunned: "That? Which one?"

But Han had already understood what Onoki meant, and he suddenly became alert and blurted out: "'Big Black Sky Insect'!!"

This is a lingering nightmare in the hearts of all Iwa ninjas. In the last war, the huge mushrooms created by two large black sky insects ended their confidence in continuing the war.

The explosive power of the two Great Black Sky Insects far exceeds the "Tailed Beast Tama" launched by the Jinchūriki, and may only be achieved by a completely liberated Tailed Beast.

However, the huge noise caused by the tailed beast making the "tailed beast jade" could be clearly felt from several kilometers away. However, such a destructive insect used by the Konoha ninja made no special movement at all before it exploded.

This means that when fighting Konoha, Iwa ninja may be encountered at any time, and you will not be aware of it until the explosion has occurred, and by then you are likely to be dead.

What's even more annoying is that this thing is poisonous. How many years have passed today, the Akagi Mountain Fortress is still a forbidden area of ​​death. The Iwa Ninja don't even know how to remove this poison, so they can only wait for time to pass away slowly.

The Iwagakure Village was naturally particularly concerned about the weapon that led to their defeat, and they desperately sought out all information about such a thing.

However, Konohagakure also strictly guarded against this. Although it paid a huge price and lost many ace spies, Iwagakure Village finally got only one name: "Daikoku Tenworm", which was confirmed to be a giant ninja insect.

Another piece of information that can be confirmed shows that it is difficult for this kind of ninja to reproduce, the number is very rare, and all of them are in the hands of the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Other than that, the information is extremely confusing, conflicting with each other, and meaningless.

From then on, the "Big Black Sky Worm" became a nightmare in the minds of Iwagakure. When the Third Ninja War started in Sunagakure Village due to the disappearance of the third Kazekage, Iwagakure Village's reaction was extremely conservative and hesitant.

Don't dare get involved in war.

Many Iwagakure even openly said that if their concerns about the "Big Black Sky Insect" could not be dispelled, they would not be able to agree to a war between Iwagakure and Konohagakure.

Fortunately, in the past few years, Konoha Village has suffered many defeats and defeats, and has never used such a terrifying weapon. This made Iwagakure Village gradually feel relieved.

When Lao Zi heard this, he stood up and shouted: "This is impossible!"

Lao Zi's voice was so loud that even the Iwa Ninja in the distance heard it, attracting many people to look at him sideways. He realized that he had made a mistake, sat back quickly, and said in a low voice and hastily: "Isn't that thing said to be made by the Third Hokage?

Was Sarutobi Hiruzen in charge of it personally? He didn't come, so how could he hand over such a dangerous thing to a ninja from the Aburame family? Even if it was given, it should be in Orochimaru's hands."

Onoki said solemnly: "It stands to reason, but if you think about it carefully, 'Daikokuten' is an insect, and the psychic beast that Naruto's Sarutobi family is close to is an ape. In the entire Konoha Village, only the Aburame family is.

Those who play with bugs, and the 'Mushi Master' is the most powerful ninja in the Aburame family and the creator of the 'Giant Bug Force'."

"When I put this information together, I suddenly felt that the 'Insect Master' should be the person who developed the 'Big Black Sky Insect'. As a developer, there is a high possibility that he has a backup in his hands."

Lao Zi broke out in cold sweat. He had been convinced, but he tried to make a final struggle: "Then why didn't the intelligence department discover this situation before?"

Ohnoki replied: "You can't blame the intelligence department. The information we collected is too confusing. Now that I think about the fact that there is so much information about the 'Daikoku Tenshu', there is a problem in itself. It is most likely that Konoha actively spread it.

A cover for obfuscation.”

"And this ninja is too low-key. After the last war, his name has not been heard for so many years, and everyone has ignored his existence."

"I fought with him and didn't even recognize who he was. It was the Intelligence Ninja who told me his nickname, and that's when I thought of it."

Hiss~~~~

The two Jinchuuriki couldn't help but gasp. It's too scary. It's not the "Mushi Master" Aburame Tetsumaru, but the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. It's so scary that such a powerful ninja can willingly hide his identity for so many years.

.

Thinking about the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, whose identity is still confusing up to now, and using this as evidence, Ohnoki's judgment makes more sense.

Lao Zi wiped off the cold sweat on his head and said with fear: "I always thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen's title of 'the strongest Hokage in history' was a joke, but now it seems that at least his skills and his insidiousness,

It’s really, really strong.”

Ohnoki and Han also nodded seriously.

Sarutobi Hiruzen:......

Danzo, I miss you so much. Why did you leave so early? The moment you stepped out, all the blame was put on my head. It’s so tragic.

"The biggest variable now is the ninja of the Aburame family and his bugs, which may even affect the future survival of Iwagakure Village."

The two Jinchuuriki recognized the Tsuchikage's judgment that this man might have the "Big Black Sky Worm" in his possession, and naturally they deeply agreed.

Both of them have personally visited the Akagi Mountain Fortress, and Lao Zi has also stood in the huge pit of Dannoura and experienced it, and has a deep understanding of the terror of the "Big Black Sky Insect".

As for Han, needless to say, the Five-Tailed Mu King went crazy after hearing his Jinchūriki shouting "Big Black Sky Worm", and tried his best to convey his fear and fear to Han. Han could only try his best to comfort him, and he was exhausted.

I couldn't even utter a word.

This is easy to understand. After all, the previous generation of Jinchuuriki had completely let go of King Mu. It was killed by the "Big Black Sky Insect" when it was having fun and exploded in its face. It was a person who personally experienced the lethality of this terrifying thing at the closest distance.

As a result, King Mu died on the spot, and it took him a year to resurrect. Moreover, King Mu was still extremely weak after his resurrection. He was easily caught by the Iwa Ninja, and was sealed into the Jinchuriki's body again.

For a whole year after being sealed, King Mu continued to be weak and suffered from strange illnesses. He even passed the strange illness to Han, who was a jinchuriki.

The painful experience of that year was that it and Han went through it together. This experience of sharing hardships also made the two creatures understand each other. With the help of King Mu, Han grew into a mature Jinchuuriki in just two years, and there was nothing

Trouble with sequelae.

"In view of the terrifying power of the 'Big Black Sky Insect', I must use all my strength to deal with the Konoha Insect Master." Onoki solemnly asked the two Jinchuriki: "And I want to confirm with you, can you spare your hands to support me?"

The two of them lowered their heads and pondered for a while, and Lao Zi said solemnly: "Han can't be distracted. If he hadn't held back that 'Golden Flash', you and I would be in danger of being killed at any time, so I'd better try my best to support you."

.”

"Okay, you and I will join forces to kill the Konoha 'Insect Master', and then find an opportunity to retreat and end this war."

The sincerity of my apology has come. I will try my best not to make any more mistakes in the future.
