"Want to save your companions?"

Han asked this question, which temporarily stupefied Uehara. Yes, to Uehara, Iwagakure Village is just a piece of cake, but Wutong is still in Iwagakure Village, and Mayi is also there. As a shadow guard, Natsuki must be with Onoki.

Along with them, there were two little guys, Daoxue and Yudachi. They lost their grandfather, and Uehara promised to take good care of them...

"This is war." Sitting on the ferry, watching the river flow slowly, Uehara's tone was as calm as running water, "Teacher Han, I have experienced too many battles, and I am too tired."

The lost arm has long lost feeling. Uehara has forgotten what it felt like when his left hand was still there. Losing the ability to use ninjutsu is a big blow to him. After all, the ninja world is still a world of the strong.

Having fought side by side with Kari, Yao, and a group of people from Earth Prison, Uehara could gradually see the contempt in Starscream's eyes.

He knew how to work hard, had enough emotional intelligence, and knew what politics was, so he gained a lot of reputation. As a result, Uehara became as famous as the White Fang of Konoha. However, the name of White Fang of Konoha was obtained through countless killings of this level. Uehara's popularity was completely

I intentionally brushed it out on my own initiative, as it contained too much moisture.

If you are good at lurking, you will drown. Uehara finally suffered the consequences, and detailed information about him has been spread everywhere.

"We only have so many people. We can't contact the Third Tsuchikage. It's too unreliable to rely on us to deal with all the rain ninjas."

Han's first proposal was rejected by Uehara. Even though the Jinchūriki were a formidable force, Uehara and the others were still at a huge disadvantage. If they really went to Iwagakure to save everyone, after the battle, only Han would be able to escape.

Others will surely suffer heavy casualties.

"Maybe we can look for reinforcements." He threw a small stone into the water casually. The sound of the stone falling into the water was very pleasant, and Han gave Uehara a second suggestion. Han never regarded Uehara as a child.

The reason is that Uehara, who has an adult soul, is much more mature than Kari.

"Reinforcements?" Uehara sneered, "There are reinforcements in the village, five hundred samurai, and dozens of my subordinates who are not even chuunin. They are not enough to protect Heping Town."

"God Ninja Village?" Han frowned.

"...Yes, Kakuzu destroyed their village, so I tricked them into coming here."

Thinking of Kakuzu, Uehara became uneasy in his heart. This gold-medal thug had a strong sense of contract. Heping Town lacked enough force to protect him. He was about to hire Kakuzu to take charge. Anyway, he owed hundreds of millions, so he didn't care about the debt.

More of...

…

In the barren mountains of Earth Country, this is an undeveloped area, inaccessible, with dry rocks and red soil everywhere, and not much vegetation. Onoki and a group of rock ninjas are hiding in a naturally formed cave, and there are ninjas all the time.

After going out and then returning, a steady stream of information about the Earth Country and Iwagakure Village was sent back.

Ohnoki occupied a small cave alone, and after sealing the entire cave entrance with the earth escape technique, it became a completely independent space.

The village given to him by the second generation Memu was occupied by the enemy. For Onoki, this was an unforgivable shame.

After thinking for a whole night, the Sandaime Tsuchikage could not think of a plan that could save the village.

"Go to Konoha..." Onoki, who was kneeling on the ground, groaned in pain, and finally made up his mind to ask for help from Konoha Village, which had fought against Kumo Ninja together not long ago.

Ohnoki, who has mastered the art of light and heavy rocks, is the only ninja in the ninja world who can fly on his own. The trip to Konoha was dangerous, so Ohnoki hid his whereabouts from his shadow guards and quietly left his unit alone.

Everyone flew towards the Land of Fire.

As a shadow of a village, Ohnoki understood that what awaited him in Konoha must be humiliation and a lot of humiliating treaties for the Iwa nin. It was time to inherit the will of stone and make self-sacrifice.

When Onoki went to Konoha, Uehara was also saying goodbye to his companions. He still had the wedding invitation of Hinata Minato, a friend of his own in Konoha and the winner of life, in his hand. After a long delay, Uehara finally decided to go to the appointment.

"We are not going to Konoha, we are going to the Daimyoyama Castle." Uehara explained something to Kari, "Although there is no danger, Kari, be careful."

"Got it!" Kari replied angrily. Uehara asked him to wear a red armor like a samurai, carry a ninja sword on his waist, and carry a big box with gifts on his back. Kari was extremely dissatisfied.

Uehara not only used him as a bodyguard, but also used him as a coolie.

…

There was an extremely brutal offensive and defensive battle in Konoha. Konoha Village was originally established in an extremely dense jungle. There were countless primitive jungles surrounding the original Konoha Ninja Village. When the wind blew, the leaves blown by the wind drifted across the streets.

, flying around the ninja school again, there may be naughty children chasing the flying leaves like butterflies, the Hokage Rock may be decorated with vibrant new green, when the exhausted Konoha ninjas who have completed the mission are

When he first stepped into the village, there might be a piece of green with morning dew falling on his shoulders. Green can always bring the softest and most comfortable feeling to the eyes... When the leaves are flying, then the Konoha Ninja Village

The name has the most poetic annotation.

The newly built Konoha Village is much larger than the original Konoha, but more than one ninja is missing the former Konoha Ninja Village. In the fierce battle with Kumo Ninja, Konoha Village and the trees surrounding it for several kilometers were completely destroyed.

Destroyed, the ground was bare, not a single tree was left.

The Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, did not choose another place with a beautiful environment to rebuild Konoha. He still chose the original site of Konoha Village. The land was turned into pottery after being bombarded by the Tailed Beast Jade, and not even a single blade of grass could grow.

Therefore, Konoha ninjas worked tirelessly to transport new soil from far away places to cultivate trees and restore lawns, so now in and around Konoha Village, there are saplings as thick as bottle caps.

Everyone has a quota for planting trees, and a nameplate is hung on the saplings. This is a mandatory task for the ninjas who have experienced the trauma of the war by the Third Hokage. Sarutobi's ten saplings are in the yard under the Kage building.

After his daily work, apart from opening the window and smoking, Sarutobi had a new hobby.

His eyes always glanced at the seedlings that were less than human height. The complex emotions of loss and hope filled his heart again and again. He really didn't know when he would be able to see the flying leaves of Konovo again.

one day.

"Sandaime-sama, you'd better come here." The ANBU ninja appeared silently and knelt down on one knee behind Sarutobi. "I found that there were unidentified ninjas appearing around the village..."

"Huh?" Sarutobi frowned.

…

Following the ANBU to the village gate, Sarutobi covered his forehead with his hands and looked at the sky against the sun. Soon after, he smiled, "Oonoki!"

In more formal occasions, they would call each other Kage, but in private it was not necessarily the case. For example, Uehara heard Ohnoki call the third Hokage monkey, but in fact, the first Hokage called him Sarutobi and called him monkey.

…

In the twin walls of Konoha, Sarutobi and Danzo, one is tending towards the light, while the other has gradually fallen into darkness. In the negotiation with Tsuchikage Onoki, Sarutobi will not be absent, and Danzo will not be absent either.

"What a surprise, Lord Tsuchikage." After serving a rich meal to Ohnoki, Ohnoki didn't move at all. It seemed that he was very anxious about the upcoming negotiations.

Konoha had already received the news that the Iwagakure Village had been captured by the Ameno ninja. In addition to being awe-inspiring about the terrifying Amae ninja's strength and worrying about the peaceful situation in the ninja world, the third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was more gloating about the Iwanin's encounter.

.

"Konoha will treat you well, Lord Tsuchikage, have a good rest, tomorrow..."

"No!" Onoki lost his composure. He stood up excitedly and slapped the table so hard that the dishes and chopsticks flew everywhere. "I am here to ask for help from Konoha, Your Excellency the Hokage!"

Bent down and bowing to the end, Onoki lowered his proud head. This bow seemed to be a sign of weakness to Konoha, destroying all of Onoki's self-esteem.

The atmosphere froze for a moment. Sarutobi remained silent, his eyes unwavering. He didn't even notice the ash falling on his sleeves. He didn't know what he was thinking.

As for Danzo, a gloomy guy, the city is not as deep as Sarutobi. The dishes served to entertain the Tsuchikage were very rich. Danzo looked at the miserable Onoki in a joking way while eating without any influence, without any concern for the shadows on both sides.

The seriousness of the meeting.

"It seems that we need to change to a formal occasion." When the cigarette burned out and burned his fingers, Hiruzen Sarutobi shook off the cigarette butt as if he was electrocuted and came back to his senses.

"...M-Thank you!" During the battle between the Kingdom of Iron and the Third Raikage, Onoki's waist was punched by the violent Raikage. In the future, Onoki's frequent back pain was probably the root cause of the disease at that time.

While smoking, Ohnoki kept his posture and bowed motionless. The shock pain in his waist from time to time made cold sweat break out on his forehead, but he remained motionless. He thought that he could ask Konoha for help at all costs, but Ohnoki's attitude was humble enough, just because he was too

He was so concerned about the village that he probably forgot that no matter how bad the situation was, he could not be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

…

The Konoha ninjas took Onoki to the prepared conference room to wait, while Sarutobi and Danzo were seizing the time to have final exchanges.

"The war has obviously been over for so long, how could it be possible that Iwagakure was conquered..." Sarutobi still couldn't believe that Iwagakure, one of the five great ninja villages, would be defeated by the little Amegakure.

"But things have already happened, Sarutobi." Danzo pretended to know nothing about Sarutobi's words. However, the spies and Orochimaru who were planted in Iwagakure definitely played an important role in the Iwagakure incident.

"We are not discussing the boring issue of peace now," Danzo interrupted Sarutobi's inappropriate words, "The third Tsuchikage, he didn't bring his shadow guard. How should we deal with him in our village?"

?”

Sarutobi understands clearly what Danzo means by dealing with it. Ohnoki is also a legendary shadow. The two sides came into contact during the war. Ohnoki completely inherited the ninjutsu of the second generation Memu, and his combat power is terrifying. But just like Danzo

As Zang said, this is Konoha and is surrounded by Konoha ninjas. Killing the Tsuchikage is not difficult or even very easy to do.

However, Sarutobi inexplicably remembered the passing of the second-generation Hokage. He and the second-generation Raikage of Kumo-nin also died during negotiations. Therefore, Konoha and Kumo-nin declared war, and the turmoil in the ninja world began.

"The Third Tsuchikage cannot cause trouble in Konoha. We have gained enough benefits for Danzo." Sarutobi looked at Danzo with stern eyes, "I don't want to hear any more news about the conflict between your roots and ANBU."

After experiencing a cruel war, Konoha sacrificed too many ninjas compared to the original work, and the number of personnel in each department has shrunk to varying degrees. The root responsibilities of Anbu and Danzo have not yet been fully defined, and their powers also overlap. Therefore,

, the two sensitive departments are in constant friction.

Sarutobi may not have imagined how the roots of the future, while protecting Konoha, would become cancer and ultimately bring trouble to Konoha.

The thought of being on guard against the roots has gradually arisen in Sarutobi's mind, and he can no longer get rid of it.

…

"... Iwagakure can accept any conditions of Konoha, territory, ninjutsu... We have dealt with Kumo ninja together before, so the friendship between Iwagakure and Konoha does not need to be proved anymore, right?" Onoki pretended to be relaxed, but there was a look in his eyes.

A bitterness that cannot be concealed.

"Territory?" Danzo's eyes lit up as he was under Sarutobi's attack. He skillfully untied a scroll and spread it out. After pretending to look at it, he opened the pen cap and drew a line on the map with a red pen.

A straight line.

After turning the map upside down, he handed it to Ohnoki, who picked up the map with almost trembling hands.

Opening the map, the blood-red red line stung Ohnoki's eyes, "...nearly a quarter of the country! Absolutely impossible!"

With a suppressed roar, Onoki stared at Danzo with red eyes, as if he was about to burst into tears at any moment.

Sarutobi didn't even have time to look at what Danzo drew on the map. Danzo's own initiative made Sarutobi frown. He decided that if something like this happened again, he would not call him Danzo.

This is the best time to gain benefits for Konoha. Looking at the third Tsuchikage who is about to become furious, Sarutobi has a headache. He is giving his territory to the enemy. Sarutobi also did the same thing during the Second Ninja War.

He clearly knew how painful it was for Ying, but the negotiations would continue.

"If the conditions are not suitable, we can negotiate..."

"Don't bother Sarutobi," Danzo stood up slowly. He leaned forward, put his hands on the table and looked at Ohnoki without flinching, "If you are interested in the territory of Earth Country, there are

The best way."

"Kill the third Tsuchikage, and we can divide the Earth Kingdom equally with the Rain Ninja Sand Ninja!"

"Ha!" Onoki sneered, "Iwagakure Village is occupied, but there are still many people who escaped."

"If I cannot return to Earth Country in time, Iwagakure will choose a new Kage." The madness in Onoki's eyes gradually dissipated. He smiled and looked at Sarutobi calmly, "Iwagakure may no longer exist, and the remaining

The Iwa ninja pose no threat to Konoha, but the civilians of the Fire Country..."

"Are you threatening me? Lord Tsuchikage." Sarutobi's voice became colder.

Shameless Danzo is used to playing with people's hearts. He deliberately provoked Onoki to say things he shouldn't have said. The Tsuchikage's death in Konoha Iwa-nin will definitely lead to revenge without leaving any bottom line, but for a negotiation, this kind of tacit understanding

Things that can never be said out loud.

"Ninja Technique—Four Purple Flame Formation!"

"Four Purple Flame Formation!"

"Four Purple Flame Formation!"

…

A buzzing sound instantly sounded, and outside the conference room, as well as the entire conference room, were surrounded by more than a dozen layers of four-purple flame formations, which showed Konoha's fear of the elimination of Iwagakure Chen's blood successor.

"The rise of the Rain Country is also a threat to Konoha. The Third Tsuchikage, Konoha will fight against the Rain Ninja, but you cannot leave for the time being."

The Third Hokage left, looking at the surroundings surrounded by layers of purple light, with bugs and weird-smelling gas flying in. Ohnoki's eyes wandered, and he regretted saying those threatening words.

"Loess, I hope you can do well enough." Ohnoki muttered to himself, placing his last hope on Loess. (To be continued)
