Escape From Konoha

Iron country.

Under the high eaves, there are many samurai and ninjas guarding the courtyard, making the courtyard as flawless as an iron wall.

As the Alliance Army Headquarters is about to launch a beheading operation, the daimyo of the five major countries are also not idle. Even in the stable rear, they are used to daily meetings. In other words, the pressure brought by the front lines forces them as daimyo to also He had to go into battle in person to stabilize the morale of the army.

In the quiet room with a wide view, the five great lords of the country each knelt down on their own futon cushions. There was only a low table in front of them, and tea to quench their thirst, which was neat and tidy.

"The Five Shadows have already joined forces with Danzo. Unfortunately, it seems that the Fourth Kazekage was unable to participate in this beheading operation due to serious injuries. In any case, this is also a valuable fighting force. "

The daimyo of the Kingdom of Earth calmly took a sip of tea. The other daimyo also glanced at the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind, and then looked away.

Although due to the addition of the dirty land reincarnation tactic, the alliance army is already not lacking in high-end combat power. Even if the Fourth Kazekage is unable to participate due to force majeure factors, it is not a problem, but if possible, they still hope that they can endure the village. Shadow can sit in the rear area.

Everyone knows that this beheading operation is very dangerous. Even if the Alliance Army is fully prepared, it is simply impossible to achieve zero casualties.

It can be said that the Alliance ninjas who participated in this beheading mission were mentally prepared to die and sacrifice.

In this case, even the five shadows are not immune.

This situation for the Fourth Kazekage was a blessing in disguise, as he was far away from the most intense battlefield.

The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind naturally knew this, but he himself looked indifferent and did not explain much.

After all, the Fourth Kazekage's serious injury was an unexpected situation that no one had expected before. What's more, it was just an accident that the Fourth Kazekage was severely injured by Akatsuki's leader in order to rescue the Alliance ninjas and was excluded from the beheading operation.

"Okay, everyone, this is not a big deal. Furthermore, the Alliance Army's rear area does need a Five Shadows to stabilize the overall situation. Although the beheading operation requires powerful ninjas to be in charge, other issues cannot be ignored. Compared to this , we have more important tasks now.”

The Fire Country Daimyo was silent for a long time and ignored the matter.

"Yes, the decapitation operation has been carried out. The ninjas will have to rely on themselves for the next war. But the situation on our side is not stable."

The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder knocked on the table with the fan in his hand, making a sound, with a serious expression on his face.

"Where is the problem again?"

The Daimyo of Earth Country raised his eyebrows.

War is a continuation of politics.

The origin of all wars is due to people. In wars, the most common thing is the alternation of old and new forces.

The five major powers have ruled the world for too long, dating back hundreds of years. Even today, they can still dominate the world with the power and wealth inherited from their ancestors.

But in this era, accidents happen frequently. The Ghost Country and Akatsuki are the two most powerful alien armies. Their rise has truly impacted the long-standing ruling authority of the five major countries.

It can be said that the world is likely to undergo changes unprecedented in thousands of years because of this war.

The birth of this change may be beneficial to the five major countries, or it may cause the five major countries to be shattered in the next era.

Because in the ancient times, the ancestors of the five major countries also relied on the fighting spirit of blood and fire to end the former overlords and achieve great achievements.

The top five countries that control most of the resources of the ninja world have long realized that this is not just a war for ninjas.

While the ninjas were fighting, the same undercurrents were surging in the safety zones established before the war. Many small safety zones gradually escaped the control of the five major powers and became dangerous areas beyond the reach of the five major powers. Communications were blocked. The envoys sent to inspect the area also disappeared one after another and did not return for several days.

It is conceivable that while the ninjas are fighting life and death at the front, a war is also going on in the safe zones of various countries.

"Where else can it be? They are all countries that the Demon Kingdom's military has set foot on and supported. The aristocratic power of those countries has been almost uprooted, and their power has long been secretly evacuated by the Demon Kingdom. The countries closest to us There have been some disturbances in the safety zone. What's worse is that these people still have standard weapons in their hands. If they riot, it will be a problem. "

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire gently pressed his fan against his forehead and began to frown in thought, appearing to have a severe headache.

So far, he doesn't know how many weapons the Kingdom of Ghosts has shipped to the arms market, but it's definitely not the numbers on paper.

As far as he knew, in the Kingdom of Ghosts, a large number of weapons disappeared from the arms market for no reason every year, and then disappeared into unknown places.

These unaccounted for weapons are what worries the Daimyos of the Fire Country the most.

As the saying goes, armed with sharp weapons, murderous intentions arise. How many troops can be organized with the weapons leaked from the Kingdom of Ghosts?

Ten thousand? One hundred thousand? Or a million?

The Daimyo of the Fire Nation could not imagine what kind of chaos would erupt from so many unofficial forces that were not controlled by the five major powers.

Maybe one million is an exaggeration, but the number of one hundred thousand seems to underestimate the "brainwashing" ability of the Ghost Country.

The militia organization secretly established by the Demon Kingdom in the entire ninja world has a total number of more than 200,000 people.

If you include those 'eyes' all over the ninja world, the number may be even more exaggerated.

The most important thing is that so many people have been trained to pick up the industrial weapons of the Kingdom of Ghosts, and they can immediately form a certain combat effectiveness and go into battle to kill the enemy.

We should not underestimate the common people. In such a chaotic era, killing is not a moral violation.

Some villages with strong folk customs can even pick up hoes and shovels and fight to the death with professional bandits, so that bandits dare not come to bully them.

Many places in the ninja world represent chaos and death, and dead people can be said to be the most common phenomenon.

Even the Kingdom of Ghosts has opened up ninja knowledge to some militia organizations, transforming some ordinary soldiers into stronger ninjas, and combined with those industrial thermal weapons, the power that can be exerted is even more shocking.

"In other words, will these areas be monitored next?"

The Daimyo of the Land of Water had a worried look on his face. He suddenly remembered that within his own country, there seemed to be grassroots organizations supported by the Kingdom of Oni. Due to Kirigakure's suppression, the situation would not get out of control, but now most of the Kirigakure ninjas have left and gathered in the alliance. In the northern region of the army, the forces staying at home may cause trouble.

"It's just to take precautions before they happen. Let the ninjas resolve the matter, but we may not have time to rest anymore. The real counterattack of the Kingdom of Ghosts will come soon. Before that, we We must be prepared to resist. As long as it is delayed until the Alliance army wins the battlefield in the Kingdom of Rain, we will win..."

The Fire Country daimyo, who had fought the most against the Ghost Country, looked out the window and murmured.

The other daimyo remained silent. They were not naive enough to think that they would be completely safe by hiding in the safe zone.

For the Ghost Country, which is in the same position as the Five Great Nations, what are the rules?

They are shackles that bind weak countries, but they have no restrictive effect on strong countries.

The Kingdom of Ghosts, like the Five Great Nations, is a being that creates rules.

After all, this is an era of the weak and the strong.

The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit.

Union Army Headquarters.

Ten p.m.

Even though it was still the night before the beheading operation, the Five Kages, except for the Fourth Kazekage, were still having late-night meetings, and there was no thought of sleeping for the time being.

"...The action process is basically like this. Everyone, do you have any other opinions?"

After the Fourth Raikage finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at the other three people.

Tsunade, Onoki, and Mei Terumi all shook their heads, indicating that they had no other opinions.

After all, the overall process of the beheading operation is not too complicated. Moreover, the alliance army that has gathered such strength does not need to adopt any complicated strategies. At this time, the more direct the tactics are, the more effective they will be, and there is no need to add any superfluous information.

"In this case, the meeting will end here. Tomorrow morning we will—"

Before the Fourth Raikage could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door from outside, interrupting the Fourth Raikage's words.

The Fourth Raikage frowned, and the other shadows also looked at the door. I wonder who else came to report work at such a late hour.

Matters concerning the alliance army should be handed over to the staff for the time being. The only work left for the Five Shadows is the beheading operation.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for anyone to come here at this time.

"Come in."

Ohnoki spoke first, letting in the person who knocked on the door.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and a boy with slightly pale skin walked in, with a usual fake smile and squinting eyes on his face.

"Saui, it's you. It's so late. What's wrong?"

Tsunade recognized the identity of the person who came, it was Saai, a member of Team 7 and Naruto's teammate.

When Naruto returned from Turtle Island, he naturally followed him to the Alliance Army headquarters.

"Hokage-sama, and all the Five Kages, good evening."

Sai smiled with narrowed eyes and bowed.

The Fourth Raikage instinctively disliked the other's fabricated smile, so he looked at Tsunade patiently: "Hokage, who is this kid?"

Tsunade paused and replied: "The chuunin of our village, and Naruto belong to Team 7... and are also members of the Roots, direct subordinates of Danzo."

As soon as this statement came out, the other five shadows immediately attracted the attention. They all carefully looked at Sai's body and frowned slightly.

Obviously, Danzo's identity as a subordinate made them suspicious.

"Since you are Danzo's subordinate, then you definitely didn't mean to come here. Tell me, is there anything Danzo wants to convey to you when he comes here?"

The Fourth Raikage asked directly.

"It's like this. Danzo-sama feels the danger of this operation, and hopes to temporarily insert some of the reincarnated ninjas into the Five Kage's decapitation troops to serve as pathfinding pawns. After all, the ability of the Rinnegan is too mysterious. It’s too dangerous to test with a living person.”

Sayi answered without being humble or arrogant, and was well-founded.

The Fourth Raikage and the others frowned, then let go without saying anything in opposition.

Although according to their initial strategy, they did not want to make the Reincarnated Ninja public so early, not only for the internal stability of the Alliance Army, but also to catch the enemy off guard.

But as Sai said, Nagato's strength is too dangerous. Even a clone created by the Shoken Jutsu easily defeated a five-kage and an army of tens of thousands of ninjas. In exchange for the original body , it is simply unimaginable how powerful it will be.

If a living person is used to test the opponent's depth, a large number of victims will inevitably appear.

Seeing that the Fourth Raikage and others did not object, Sai immediately took out a scroll from his ninja tool bag, which was exactly the one Aburame gave him with the root before the war started.

It was originally used to protect Naruto on Turtle Island, but now Naruto is so powerful that he no longer needs the protection of this kind of ninja reincarnation. Therefore, the message from the root can make part of the ninja's strength available in advance. Used by the Alliance Army as a chess piece to explore the path.

Compared with living people, dead people are not worried about wear and tear. Even if an unexpected situation occurs, it is only the loss of one chess piece, and there are many such chess pieces with roots.

Sai spread the scroll in front of the Five Shadows.

With a bang, the smoke exploded, filling in the figure of Sai.

Originally there was only one figure, but as the thick fog gradually dispersed, two figures suddenly appeared in front of Saoi, standing with their heads bowed, exuding an extremely rich aura of death.

The body is like porcelain full of cracks, giving people a fragile feeling.

But the chakra contained in the two dead bodies was extremely frightening.

There is no doubt that this is a ninja on the same level as the Five Kages.

When Tsunade saw the faces of these two filthy reincarnated ninjas, she immediately clenched her fists, and finally restrained herself and did not have an attack.

The Reincarnated Ninja on the left is an old man over sixty years old, wearing a black tight-fitting combat uniform with a trademark short white beard on his chin.

The ninja on the right is an adult male about thirty years old, with a rather cold face, silver-white hair, a short sword behind his back, and wearing the standard uniform of a Konoha jounin.

These two people are no strangers to Tsunade, and they are no strangers to the other five Kage either.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Konoha White Fang Flag Ki Sakumo.

They were all once the most prosperous Konoha ninjas in the ninja world.

Although they knew that Danzo had such a chess piece in his hand, after actually seeing it, the Five Kages still felt like they had traveled through time and space.

After all, to them, these two people were already dead.

Especially the latter, Konoha White Fang, had committed suicide before the Third Ninja War.

Not only that, the three students taught by the other party are still known to everyone in the ninja world. They have repeatedly confronted Konoha, the "hometown", putting Konoha in danger.

At this time, the two corpses with their heads hanging down suddenly moved their bodies. The heads that had been hanging down slowly lifted up. Their closed eyes slowly opened, and their vision was connected to the outside world.

"here it is……"

A murmuring voice came out of Hiruzen's mouth, and his old, dissatisfied and wrinkled face was full of confusion.

Sakumo next to him also looked around with a kind of confusion, frowning, especially after seeing Tsunade, his expression was startled.

"You are Tsunade?"

Although his image had changed a bit, Sakumo still recognized Tsunade's identity at first sight.

Then he lowered his head and looked at his palms. There were clearly visible cracks on them.

"I am..."

"This is Tobirama-sensei's filthy earth reincarnation technique. Our souls have been pulled out of the pure land."

The person who answered Sakumo's question was Hiruzen, who knew something about the reincarnation of the dirty land.

When he saw Sakumo, his former subordinate, he couldn't help but show a complicated expression and explained.

"Nidaime-sama's..."

Sakumo looked startled.

Then I understood something.

He was resurrected by someone using the art of reincarnation from dirty soil, and the original purpose of this art was to start a battle to the death with the enemy.

In other words, someone wants to see him as a pawn to be used in battle.

Involuntarily, an uncomfortable feeling filled Sakumo's chest.

Although I understand that there is no distinction between good and bad ninjutsu, I still feel unhappy when I think of my body being desecrated.

"Sarutobi-sensei, Sakumo, long time no see."

Tsunade took a deep breath with an apologetic expression.

Hiruzen nodded, his expression still complicated, but he calmed down immediately.

Since they were summoned using the art of filthy earth reincarnation, it means that their souls cannot be liberated until the magician completes his purpose.

But fortunately, the magician does not seem to be a hostile party to Konoha, otherwise he and Sakumo would have been controlled by the magician and fought against Konoha's ninjas.

This can be considered a blessing in misfortune.

Hiruzen couldn't imagine being manipulated into massacring Konoha ninjas.

That was simply more terrifying than blaspheming his soul.

After completing the summons, Sayi did not stop there. Instead, he turned slightly and shouted outside the house:

"You guys come in too."

Tsunade and the others couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the door again.

One after another, figures filed in from the outside, seemingly slowly, but those who came in stood still at an extremely fast speed, and each one of them exuded frightening chakra.

The body full of cracks, the eyes full of dim colors, and the endless aura of death are reminiscent of their dead identities.

"No sir!"

"Dad, there is also the second generation..."

"Lord Huanyue!"

There was surprise from the Fourth Raikage, Onoki and Terumi Mei.

They knew everyone who came in.

The second-generation Tsuchikage, Wu, is the genius Tsuchikage who pioneered the ability of Iwagakure to escape and eliminate blood successors.

The second Raikage, Ai, was the Raikage who competed with Konoha's second Hokage Senju Tobirama in the First Ninja War.

The Third Raikage Ai, a ninja who possesses the strongest spear and shield in the ninja world, and is also the father of the Fourth Raikage. It is said that at the moment of his death, there were still no obvious scars on his body and he died of exhaustion.

The second generation Mizukage Kito Gengetsu, a ninja from the Kirigakure Kito clan, was powerful enough to rival the second generation Tsuchikage. He was also the Mizukage who created a peak era for Kirigakure.

In addition, there are several equally familiar figures.

Hiruzen, who was summoned first, looked at one of them, his expression slightly startled, and a hint of shame in his eyes.

"Teacher Tobirama..."

The person Hiruzen was watching was naturally the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama who died at the hands of Kumogakure's Golden Horn and Silver Horn troops after the First Shinobi World War ended the new generation of Konoha.

"It's Monkey. This is really an encounter that transcends time. I have already learned from Danzo what happened in Konoha over the years. Since you are already dead, I won't care about it."

Senju Tobirama, who was wearing laminated armor from the Warring States Period, also sighed, but in the end he didn't say anything serious. After all, everyone is dead, so there is no point in blaming anyone.

"Danzo..."

Hiruzen was stunned.

Tobirama crossed his arms and snorted coldly: "He was the one who invented this art of reincarnation in dirty soil. It is now during the Fifth Ninja World War, and the five major nations have formed an unprecedented alliance to deal with the Kingdom of Demons and Akatsuki. "

"I do know about the Kingdom of Ghosts, Akatsuki...I remember, isn't that a little-known organization from the Kingdom of Rain?"

Hiruzen was a little confused.

After all, he had fought against the Kingdom of Demons many times during his lifetime, so he naturally understood how powerful the energy of the three traitorous ninjas was.

As for Akatsuki, if I remember correctly, it should be an organization from the Kingdom of Rain.

"The Fifth Ninja War...Have there been two Ninja War after my death?"

Sakumo, who had been silent until now, was shocked when he heard some important news.

He committed suicide after the Second Ninja War, which means that after his death, the Third and Fourth Ninja War had already occurred.

Hiruzen knew something about it, because he was participating in the Fourth Ninja War before he died, but because his death was too sudden, he did not participate in the subsequent war. Now it seems that after his death, the Fire Country Daimyo is also acting according to the original plan.

It’s just the effect…

Now the Alliance Army is at war with the Kingdom of Demons, which means that the Fourth Ninja War to destroy the Kingdom of Demons ended with the failure of the Four Nations Alliance.

"call……"

Tobirama let out a breath, locked his eyes on Sakumo, and looked at him deeply, which made Sakumo confused.

I just heard Tobirama say: "Your name is Hatake Sakumo. You really taught three outstanding students."

"?"

Sakumo looked confused, taught three outstanding students?

"Second Generation Sir, you mean Ruri, Ayane, and Shiraishi?" Sakumo suddenly realized. No wonder he always felt that something was missing. He looked at Tsunade and asked, "Tsunade, where are the three of them?" The potential of the three of them must have fully grown over the years. Are they also serving in the Alliance Army? What's going on in the Kingdom of Demons? Isn't that a neutral country where the miko is? Why did they also join the Great Ninja War? "

Tsunade didn't know how to answer the series of questions.

"Tsunade, what's wrong with you? Also, who did Shiraishi marry in the end? Ruri or Ayane? I think it was Ruri. After all, that kid said he had bad teeth since he was a child."

"..."

"Tsunade, what's your expression? Is there anything you can't say?"

Seeing Tsunade's shy look, Sakumo was puzzled.

"Sakumo, anyway, please calm down first. If you have any questions, I will explain them to you later."

Tsunade sighed and stopped Sakumo from asking further questions.

She didn't know if she would go crazy if she continued to let Sakumo ask questions. Every question the other party asked was like a heavy hammer hitting Tsunade's heart, leaving her unable to speak.

"Things in Konoha are really complicated, Senju Tobirama."

The speaker was a tall, bald man with a green dragon tattooed on his head, which made his face look ferocious and his aura fierce.

These five subsequent Five Shadows all knew the basic information of the current situation in advance and rushed over to support them. I can’t say that I understand 100% of the ins and outs of the Fifth Ninja War, but I don’t know 70% to 80%. question.

"Sramana, if you want to fight, I don't mind fighting you here."

Tobirama glanced coldly at the bald man.

The opponent was Sunagakure's second-generation Kazekage, named Shamon. He was the one who created the limit of Sunagakure's magnetic escape and blood inheritance. In the era when he led Sunagakure, Sunagakure's martial arts style became increasingly successful, and he was also Sunagakure's first. The Kazekage, who proposed militarizing the tailed beasts, had many battles with Konoha.

Although the opponent is extremely powerful, Tobirama is not afraid in one-on-one situations.

"If there is a chance, I would like to learn your clever tricks again." Samana's voice was rich and he spoke with an aura that was not inferior to Tobirama's. Then he changed the subject and glanced at the contemporary Five Shadows: "However, today's ninjas are really The longer I live, the more I go back, and I am so depressed that I rely on the dead like us. It is also the general trend of history to be destroyed if I fail to live up to my expectations. If I were not controlled by this technique, I would not want to help a group of descendants who have failed to live up to their expectations. Instead, I would kill myself. A little more dignity.”

The five shadows of his generation did not feel uncomfortable with Samana's cold speech.

They are all ninjas who have emerged from the dead, so they naturally know what the general trend of the times is.

They have seen countries and ninjas that went to destruction because of their own depravity countless times. If one day their descendants forget these lessons, then they deserve to be destroyed.

"Nidaime Kazekage, your words are too harsh. Children need care to grow up. It is the responsibility of a Kage to protect the village."

The Third Raikage Ai glared at the Second Kazekage Samana.

Samana smiled interestingly, stretched out his finger, and pointed at Tsunade and the others.

"Three-generation Lei boy, do you call these children who have not grown up? Do you want to say that they are all a group of useless giant babies? Gentleness, sometimes is also a knife aimed at one's own people. Incompetent, unwilling to make progress, It’s sin in this day and age.”

Tsunade and others who were pointed out couldn't help but feel ashamed.

If some of them are used, why rely on dead sages.

From the time they adopted this plan, their self-esteem as a shadow had been abandoned.

"Don't say a few words. No matter what, we should unite as one and help the Alliance win the war."

The second generation Ai, who was standing next to the third generation Ai, spoke.

"A guy who was killed by his own people still has the nerve to talk about it here. This is the funniest joke I've ever heard."

The Samana seemed to disdain to be associated with the other party, and subconsciously distanced herself a little.

The second generation Ai's face darkened, a faint flash of lightning appeared on his body, and he entered the thunder escape chakra mode.

An extremely terrifying chakra also erupted from Samana's body, and the ground beneath his feet began to shatter inch by inch, competing with the second generation Ai's chakra.

Sandai Ai frowned and was about to step forward.

"Don't try to cause trouble, Sandai Ai, otherwise, I will beat this thing out."

The man beside Shamen condensed a black cube of iron beside him, and his eyes were fixed on Sandai Ai.

"You can try, Third Kazekage."

The third generation Ai snorted coldly, staring at the third generation Kazekage beside Shamen with cold eyes.

"I want to fight and kill him as soon as he comes up. Even after so many years of death, he is still so grumpy."

The second-generation Mizukage Ghost Lantern Huanyue who stayed aside to watch the show smiled, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.

"You have no right to say such things. You were killed by me, Mustache."

The second-generation Tsuchikage Mu, standing side by side with him, turned his head and glanced at him.

Mustache? Gui Deng Huanyue raised his eyebrows and started to smile.

"Isn't it the same for you? A mummy who is about to wear braids. Don't forget that the bandages on your body are used to cover up something. It doesn't feel good to be burned by steam all over your body. Do you want me to help you recall how it felt back then?"

"Are you an idiot? How can a ninja who was reincarnated from the dirt still feel pain? If you have amnesia, there should be medical ninjas here in the Alliance Army who can treat your brain."

"..."

Ghost Lantern Huanyue glared at Wu fiercely with fire-spitting eyes, his eyes were evil.

"It seems that the relationship between our ancestors is not very good either."

Terumi Mei smiled bitterly when she saw the former Five Kage tit for tat.

If it weren't for the magical control, the Alliance Army headquarters would have been violently demolished by them.

The Fourth Raikage and Ohnoki looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.

Although the other party is a dead person, he is also the former Five Shadows. As descendants, they already have something to ask for. If they go to break up the fight at this time, they will probably be scolded even more harshly.

"Don't pay attention to them. They are all going crazy down there, so they seem to have a bad temper. You can go down and have a rest. With me here, there won't be any trouble."

In the end, Tobirama said a word to save the Fourth Raikage and others.

The Fourth Raikage and others breathed a sigh of relief and left quickly, leaving a group of former Five Kages to confront each other here.

Anyway, they don't need to rest or eat. If they stand face to face here all night, as long as there is no actual conflict, there won't be any problems.
