Escape From Konoha

October 22nd.

Although the war in the Ninja World Continent has briefly entered a stalemate, the clouds brought about by the war are still lingering, making people feel oppressive and suffocating at all times.

Although the daimyo of various countries in the safe zone are eagerly looking forward to the final outcome of this war, due to the current chaos, even the Demon Country, which currently has a certain upper hand on the battlefield, many high-level officials are not fully aware of the situation. If you agree, the other party will definitely become the final victor of the war.

But no matter what speculation they make, for many small and weak countries, the only thing they can do in this war is to tremble in the flames of war and wait quietly for this. Until the winner is determined on each battlefield, there is no qualification to participate, and there is no space to mark on the chessboard.

Past history has already proven that small countries that intervene in disputes between powerful countries without authorization will suffer a miserable end.

Among them, as the most prosperous Alliance Army on the surface, it naturally carries the hopes of countless Alliance countries, hoping that they can show their strength in this war and win the final victory.

After all, whether it is the Kingdom of Ghosts or Akatsuki's final victory, it is not in the interests of the alliance countries.

The former abolished the hereditary system of aristocratic power and reduced the nobles' superior status to the mortal world. Although the wealth of the aristocrats was retained, they lost their power. There is still a system that lasts forever. Can it still be called a nobility? This means that they have to compete with the untouchables they looked down on in the past for the wealth that originally belonged to them, and cut off the power that originally belonged to them.

They despise and fear the practices of the Ghost Kingdom. The supreme power passed down from generation to generation was obtained by their ancestors through countless wars with their bloody bravery and sword. It is also the foundation left to their descendants to rule the world. , is a natural family inheritance. And now there are people who want to touch the interests of this class. Even the God of Ninja was unable to touch areas in the past. Now there are people who openly dig into the foundation of their rule. How can they not be frightened?

As for the latter, Xiao was also extremely fearful. Although the ruling method of the Kingdom of Rain is not as extreme as that of the Kingdom of Ghosts, and the system does not deprive the nobility of their power, but it is essentially an empty one. The armed group with Amegakure as the core combines the Daming Palace of the Kingdom of Rain with the The aristocratic group is regarded as a puppet and controls the situation behind the scenes. Although certain compromises were made to the nobles, the military and political power was firmly locked in Yu Yin's hands. The Daming Mansion and the noble group were just tools for Yu Yin to spread his message.

It can be said that the noble status in the Kingdom of Rain is in a similar situation compared to that in the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Faced with two powerful forces launching a wolf-like offensive against the aristocratic group, many country rulers who want to protect the interests of their own class naturally hope that the Alliance Army will win the final victory.

The one-country-one-village system is the perfect governance system.

The aristocrats did not approve of the rest of the system and did not want it to exist.

The Alliance Army, which is regarded as the hope of existence by so many countries, naturally also knows the essence behind the war.

This fifth ninja war was originally a continuation of the political conflicts between various countries.

What the Alliance Army wants to protect is not only the interests represented by the nobles, but also itself.

For the Alliance, the Kingdom of Ghosts and Akatsuki are also stumbling blocks to their growth, and may even be the root cause of the destruction of the Ninja Village.

It was only at this time that the nobles and the ninja village came together to form an alliance with the same interests.

However, although they have reached an agreement on interests, the aristocratic group headed by the daimyo only provides logistical support. If you want to rely on strength to defeat the Demon Country and Akatsuki, it depends on how much power the alliance army can exert. .

In the absence of high-end combat capabilities, existences like Danzo have become a secret trump card in the hands of the Alliance. It can influence the outcome of the battle at critical moments, and it is even possible to eliminate the Demon Country and Akatsuki in one fell swoop.

"..."

After scanning the top-secret documents sent by the Fourth Raikage and others, Shikaku took a deep breath while sitting on the futon.

Although he knew what the Five Kages were secretly planning, and that they might be colluding with the nobles headed by the five great masters of the five countries, he did not expect that after half a circle, it would end up on Konoha's own head.

Looking at the name 'Shimura Danzo', Shikaku felt that this root leader, who he thought would be honest and responsible, unexpectedly once again secretly did something big that surprised him.

With this ability to do things secretly, apart from the Oni Kingdom, no one can compare to this Shinobi's Darkness.

The reincarnation of the dirty land is still the tactic of the reincarnation of the dirty land that brings together famous ninjas who have been dead for many years in each village. Isn't he afraid that the alliance army will fall apart because of this?

If you just use the dead ninjas of your own village, it can be regarded as an internal problem and can be solved through discussion. With Konoha's current internal situation, all parties can compromise with each other and turn a blind eye.

But when it came to the ninjas from the outer village, as well as the Five Kages from the other villages, Shikaku felt like his head was going to explode.

Because the news came so suddenly, he was not prepared at all. Looking at this top-secret document, his mind was so confused that he didn't want to think about anything.

In Shikaku's view, this document was an unstable bomb, the kind of bomb that could blast the Alliance Army into the sky and then shatter them into pieces.

The most ridiculous thing is that even the fourth generation Raikage and the third generation Tsuchikage Onoki must firmly adopt Danzo's soil reincarnation tactics.

This made Shikaku feel that the joke was not funny again.

Although he could guess the reason why the two Kage firmly adopted this strategy, Shikaku suddenly felt a little scared, afraid of Danzo, and afraid of the ninjas of the villages who would settle the scores afterwards.

Because this is a handle, a handle that can allow other villages to unite and attack Konoha wantonly.

A little carelessness may put Konoha into a situation of eternal disaster.

Shikaku couldn't understand what Danzo was thinking. This kind of gambling was different from Tsunade's loss of money. This one was to kill Konoha.

There are two top-secret documents, and the other one is in the hands of Kumogakure Jounin Mabui, the second person in the staff department. She and Shikaku read the contents almost at the same time. What Shikaku can see, she can naturally see too. .

For the present, this tactic is very good, because it injects a large amount of available high-end combat power into the Alliance Army, which is conducive to the implementation of decapitation tactics.

At the same time, it can also give the Alliance Army a favorable position in terms of military deployment to attack the Kingdom of Ghosts afterwards.

After all, no matter how powerful the Kingdom of Ghosts is, it cannot resist almost all the well-known ninjas in the five major ninja villages in the past, not to mention that there are many characters who only exist in legends.

Just seeing the identity of the ninja reincarnated from the earth, Azabu couldn't help but feel numb.

She knew that the roots of Konoha were particularly involved in things, such as assassinating the Hokage, secretly planning the destruction of the Uchiha clan, tricking Hanzo in the Third Ninja World War, controlling Amegakure, blood transfusions for Konoha... and many more that were unseen. Hikaru's deeds, and the roots headed by Danzo, were almost all done.

It seems that even Chiba Shiraishi and the three people who started their careers in the Kingdom of Ghosts have been secretly targeted by this old guy in the past.

Mabuyi has heard of all these things. Even if he is just catching the wind, he can still know a lot of basic information.

But this time, the noise Danzo made was really big.

But then again, if Danzo had not provided this tactic to the Alliance Army, then as the staff, they would not have known that there was such a powerful boost hidden in the Alliance Army.

"Shikakujounin, what do you think?"

Mabuyi looked at this well-known think tank in Konoha.

"..."

Shikaku didn't want to talk, and he didn't know what to think.

His mind was in a state of confusion, and he felt like he regretted the decision to stuff his son Shikamaru up to his base.

This old guy said he wanted to improve relations with the Hokage faction, but he didn't tell the truth at all.

It is so naive and ridiculous to think that a person who is about to die can speak well.

A blade that is out of control can stab the enemy as well as one of its own.

"Elder Danzo's tactics are very good, and with the agreement of all the leaders, this may be the key to turning the tide of the war for our alliance."

Shikaku avoids talking about the internal divisions that might be caused by the reincarnation of the Earth, and instead turns the topic to the war itself.

After all, winning this war is the most important thing right now.

They can talk about the issue of the reincarnation of the dirty land slowly after the Alliance army wins.

"I think so too. We were originally worried about the lack of high-end combat power, but the leaders gave a relatively good answer. In this way, I think the beheading tactic is foolproof in terms of force."

Mabuyi knew the probability in Shikaku's mind and didn't reveal it.

After all, after the point is broken, the rest is endless embarrassment.

For Mabuyi, she is the staff officer of the Alliance Army, so she naturally has to focus on the overall situation.

The disadvantages caused by the reincarnation of dirty soil can only be discussed after the victory of the Alliance Army.

"Yeah, I didn't expect the leaders to bring such a big surprise to our staff. Huh..." Lu Jiu took a deep breath, "Now the problem of force has been barely solved, but there is also another problem. , because it was mentioned in this document that the Kingdom of Ghosts also knew that the roots had mastered the ability to reincarnate in dirty soil. It was during the incident when Uchiha Sasuke attacked Konoha that the roots wanted to use the ninja reincarnated from the dirty soil to bring Uchi Hasami Sasuke captured him, but he didn’t expect that he would eventually fail, leading to the leakage of information.”

To be honest, Shikaku kind of wants to hit someone right now.

Why would the enemy be the first to know, not their own members of the Alliance Army?

And it was found out by the most difficult country of ghosts.

This means that the Kingdom of Ghosts may have been making arrangements earlier than the Alliance Army to be wary of the existence of the roots, and by the way, the Alliance Army has also been on guard.

Jutsu Tensei is strong, but it is not an unbreakable ninjutsu.

For example, the document mentioned multiple plans to restrain the ninjas reincarnated from the dirty soil. Otherwise, even if Danzo provides this tactic, the top leaders of the Alliance Army who are forced by the situation may not dare to use it.

It is conceivable that the country of ghosts may have already prepared restraint methods against the reincarnated ninjas of the dirty land.

But as a 'own member', he only found out about the enemy of Ghost Country two or three months later. At this time, Shikaku 'admired' the root's confidentiality work.

This time, it is not the enemy that we are guarding against, but our own people.

Although Mabuyi didn't feel the same way, she could somewhat understand Shikaku's distress.

There are many ideas among smart people that coincide with each other. What's more, after working together for so many days, most of Lu Jiu's psychological activities can be figured out.

"In fact, there is no need to worry too much about this. According to what is mentioned in the document, the Kingdom of Demons only knows about the existence of the second generation Mizukage and the second generation Tsuchikage. As for the other reincarnated ninjas from the dirty land, the Kingdom of Demons does not know Comprehensive. Moreover, although there are weaknesses in the reincarnation of the dirty land, if a certain level is not reached, it will not be easy to forcefully restrain the reincarnated ninjas in the dirty land and take action to target the weaknesses. So in my opinion, although the country of ghosts has reserved It is unrealistic to eat the dirty land reincarnation technique in one go. After all, they were all famous top ninjas in their era."

Mabuyi said this.

According to the list of reincarnated ninjas provided by Genbu, although there are not many in number, every one of them is a ninja with great strength during his lifetime.

If it weren't for these familiar ninjas, the tactics provided by Genbu would not be valid in the eyes of the Alliance Army.

Lu Jiu nodded slightly, and could only comfort himself in this way.

Because in his opinion, the think tank of the Kingdom of Ghosts is not inferior to the Alliance Army. Even with more information, they may be able to predict many more things than the Alliance Army.

"Then let's officially start. The list within the Alliance Army has basically been drawn up. With the addition of the reincarnated ninjas from the dirty land, they are powerful enough to implement beheading tactics. However, as mentioned at the beginning, after the elimination of Akatsuki, how will the Kingdom of Demons deal with it? .According to the news from the Fourth Wing, it was stated that in the northern waters, several unknown fleets passed by the waters, and many strange radar instruments were also found on the seabed. The power of the Kingdom of Ghosts at sea has begun to become dishonest. .”

Shikaku put down the document in his hand and spread out a map between himself and Mabuyi, pointing to the northern area of ​​the Alliance Army.

It is close to the sea, and there is a large port that was recruited by the Alliance Army and temporarily borrowed to train the Alliance Army's own fleet. As for the maritime ships, they are of course provided by the Kingdom of Thunder, which has the strongest industrial capability among the five major countries.

It can be said that this port is the northern gate of the Alliance Army.

Once this northern gateway is lost, the enemy can march straight in, land at the northern port, and directly attack the Union Army headquarters.

"The ones guarding the north are the Kirigakure ninjas headed by Kito Mangetsu, and together with some water escape ninjas from other villages, there are more than 20,000 people in total. As long as there is a solid defense, I think the defense is more than enough."

Mabuyi also looked to the north of the map.

In the vast sea, there are also hidden dangers.

The Kingdom of Oni has the most advanced steel fleet in the Ninja world. Its speed at sea can be said to be the fastest in the Ninja world, and its bombardment range is also very exaggerated. It can launch precise strikes against enemy forces from more than ten kilometers away.

There are also torpedo bombs to deal with enemy raids under the sea, which can also attack more than ten kilometers away.

If it weren't for the precise strike effect, the attack range of the naval gun might be even greater.

Faced with such an invincible steel ship on the sea, even if a ninja wanted to capture it, he would have to make a huge sacrifice.

What's more, the barrier technique of the Kingdom of Ghosts has long been integrated into their military industrial system. Even the flying ninja tools are equipped with shield barriers. Therefore, the steel fleet, as an important force on the sea, also has a powerful barrier. World protection ability, resisting Ninjutsu attacks.

Therefore, taking the initiative to attack does not exist for Mabuyi.

Although the ships provided by Kumogakure also have long-range strike capabilities, they are much weaker in terms of range and power. Moreover, they are not made entirely of steel and do not have any protective barriers. The defensive capabilities are naturally epoch-making compared to previous hulls. Advantage, but facing the sea fleet of the Kingdom of Ghosts, the gap is clear at a glance.

Therefore, from the beginning, Mabuyi did not place her hopes on the fleet that captured the Kingdom of Demons, but hoped that the captain of the 4th Regiment guarding the northern port, Demon Lantern Full Moon, would focus on the overall situation and focus on persistence. Reject enemies overseas.

As long as the northern portal is not allowed to be opened by the Kingdom of Ghosts, the Kingdom of Ghosts will never even think about landing at the northern port or harming the Alliance Army headquarters.

In Mabuyi's eyes, this is the most important responsibility of the Fourth Regiment, rather than actively sniping at the enemy.

As long as they can hold on, it will be the most successful victory for the Fourth Alliance.

After Lu Jiu heard this, he thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Facing the maritime power of the Ghost Country, undefeat is victory.

With the powerful maritime combat capabilities of the Kirigakure ninjas, defense should not be a problem.

"The west side has asked Huang Tu to take charge, and the main force of the Demon Country that Huang Tu faces includes Uchiha Sasuke. Although we have the advantage in terms of numbers, but..."

Shikaku didn't continue to explain, but it also proved the fact that if there was a war in the west, it would be difficult for the Alliance Army to gain an advantage.

The power of a ninja cannot be calculated based on common sense. Nagato's dimensionality reduction attack happened just a few days ago, and the tragedy is still vivid in his mind.

Uchiha Sasuke has proven his strength by attacking Konoha and is no ordinary ninja.

It is even speculated based on the information obtained by Shikaku that Uchiha Sasuke may have an eternal mangekyō that is stronger than the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Are you saying that you hope to use some more strength to go over?"

Mabuyi glanced at Shikaku.

Shikaku nodded, that's what he meant, otherwise the alliance army there would probably be defeated if they fought against the main force of the Kingdom of Demons.

"But there is not much power that can be spread out now. For us, the next battlefield in the Kingdom of Rain is the key. As long as we ensure victory there and defeat in other places, we have a chance to turn the tide. Good steel is needed Use it on the edge.”

Mabui also knew that Shikaku had some concerns, but the moment the beheading tactic was implemented, the Kingdom of Rain was the main battlefield, and the alliance forces in the rest of the area were prepared to resist the pressure of the Kingdom of Demons.

In other words, these Union troops were inherently worth ‘sacrifice’.

Although Mabuyi didn't like to use this word, the reality was so cruel.

Whether it is called a bait or another compliment is used, the main forces in the north and west are in a 'sacrificed' position from the perspective of the overall strategic layout.

"That's all it can do."

Shikaku sighed. This had nothing to do with resourcefulness, but the feeling of powerlessness caused by lack of strength. He had experienced it more than once in the past when he fought against the Kingdom of Ghosts.

◎

Yondaime Ai, Ohnoki, Terumi Mei, Tsunade, Akimichi Tofu, Metkai, Kirabi, Uzumaki Naruto...

This list contains fifty names.

They were also the fifty elite ninjas who were beheaded by the Alliance Army.

In addition to the famous Five Shadows, the other ninjas who participated were also outstanding among the Alliance ninjas.

Shiraishi opened the list and turned to the second page.

There are rows and rows of names, all of which are the identities of the reincarnated ninjas from the dirty land.

"Um?"

Shiraishi seemed to have discovered something new.

"Ruri, Ayane, it seems that there are also your ancestors from the Warring States Period on the list of reincarnated ninjas."

"Let me see."

As Shiraishi fell, Ayane came over to take a look with great interest. Liuli also came over and glanced at the list of reincarnated ninjas on the second page and saw some familiar names of their ancestors.

"Uchiha Tajima... is Madara's father. I remember there are corresponding records in the family tree. And Uchiha Izuna, Uchiha Kagami... where did that guy Danzo find their biological tissues?"

Ruri, who was originally very disdainful of Danzo, had to sigh at Danzo's strong collecting ability.

"Maybe he dug up the ancestral graves of our Uchiha clan. People like him can do anything."

Ayane said calmly.

"..." Liuli took a breath, feeling a little unhappy in her heart, and looked at Ayane with a sneer, "So, you Hyuga clan are not much better."

Ayane smiled nonchalantly.

"I don't care. My ancestors can just continue to lie in the coffin. If they come out to block the road, it's not impossible to crush the ashes and raise the ashes. Speaking of which, I haven't raised the ashes of my ancestors yet. I don't know when I will rub them. What a physical feeling it is.”

Ayane seemed very interested and eager to give it a try.

"Ahem."

Shiraishi coughed, indicating that the topic of the two of them had gone a little sideways.

He just lamented that there would be two ancestors of his wives on the list. Why did Ayane start talking about wanting to rub away the ashes of her ancestors?

Is there something wrong with him, or is there something wrong with Ayane?

"Not only that, on this, I seem to have seen the name of Konoha White Fang just now. I remember that he is the teacher of the three of you. This guy Danzo seems to want to use this to catch your weakness."

At this time, Yagura also came to join in the fun.

"Weakness? Then Danzo underestimates us. This level of trouble will be cleared away with a knife."

Liuli raised her eyebrows without any hesitation.

Shiraishi and Ayane looked calm, obviously agreeing with Ruri's point of view.

"..."

The corner of Yagura's mouth twitched. There was something wrong with the filial piety of these three people.

He didn't think Liuli was joking. For a strong-willed ninja like her, her faith would not be shaken by anything.

Even the teacher you once respected is an enemy as long as he stands in the way. As for the enemy, it is natural to annihilate them without mercy.

"The gathering time given by the Alliance Army is four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and we will set off again at six o'clock tomorrow morning. Yagura, you stay here for now. You can't go out yet and be exposed to everyone's view. The battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain is by Let’s take care of it, the Alliance Army Headquarters needs your Kirigakure’s cooperation.”

Shiraishi closed the roster, and a ball of flame appeared, burning into ashes on the roster.

"Don't worry, I know the seriousness of it."

Although it was very difficult for Yagura to stay here and hide all this time, he still had some patience in order to ensure that the plan could be carried out smoothly.
