The will of fire can't save the ninja world

"Faster!"

On the official road of the Kingdom of Fire, several figures were speeding.

After dozens of miles, Minato saw the flames soaring into the sky in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

Just two hours ago, Konoha received news from the front.

The Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire was actually attacked by unknown forces.

The news was passed back through the psychic beast, and Konoha set off overnight.

Thousands of ninjas rushed to support at night.

But as they accelerated desperately, gradually only Minato and Uchiha Miyagi were left in the front.

Even the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen fell behind because of his age.

This is a very dangerous formation for the march, but they can't worry about that much at this time.

After all, the Daimyo of the Fire Country is their nominal collaborator and de facto leader. If the Daimyo collapses, then the Fire Country will really be in chaos.

The worst thing is not that the daimyo dies, but that the daimyo and the entire capital are destroyed, including the ministers.

"I didn't expect Uchiha Madara to be hiding in Daming Mansion..."

Minato was actually aware of the recent changes in the Fire Country, including the attitude of the daimyo.

But the so-called authorities are obsessed with it, and Konoha thinks that the daimyo is dissatisfied with them.

After all, during this period they were in a state of secret confrontation, intelligence infiltration, including commercial disputes, it was reasonable for the Daming Mansion to make some strange actions at this time.

But I never expected that it was because Konoha's biggest enemy, Uchiha Madara, secretly controlled the Daming Mansion.

And what's embarrassing is that I don't know how long he has been in control. Are the guards sent to Konoha also Uchiha Madara's spies?

They have come into contact with a lot of things during this period. If Uchiha Madara gets hold of them, things will be a bit bad.

"What's even worse is that someone actually took action in the capital. Those guys knew in advance that Uchiha Madara was there, and they were not afraid of starting a ninja war." Uchiha looked at Minato towards the sun.

At present, frontline intelligence has not yet found out who is responsible.

At that scale, some small forces and individual organizations can be excluded.

Taking into account the entire ninja world, there are really few possibilities.

If personal likes and dislikes are excluded, I am afraid that only Xianyin Island in the whole world has the courage and ability.

But from a motivation point of view, it is a bit too forced.

Minato didn't make any wild guesses, he just quickened his pace.

Outside the capital city, both the former commoners and the high-ranking nobles were crowding in the forest to keep warm in the cold.

Even in the middle of the night, there were many people awake here, and there were even several accidents that injured people.

But now it’s all trivial.

Compared to the overthrow of the Fire Nation's regime, it was not Konoha's turn to take action in those matters.

"We're still late."

Minato stood at the top of the city, looking at the burning capital, and sighed.

Even though they were on their way with all their strength, the distance from Konoha to the Fire Nation capital was not that close, and half a day had already passed.

The flames on the capital side spread to the entire city without anyone handling it.

Fire, ashes, ruins, the grand scene of the past is no longer visible here.

"Let's look for any survivors."

Minato sighed and jumped down.

The attackers had already disappeared by this time, and now they could only clean up the mess and reduce losses.

In the capital, someone had already arrived ahead of them and was searching for survivors.

These people are all bald and wearing monk robes.

It is not difficult to guess that they are monks from the Fire Temple.

When the monks saw the ninja coming, they reacted with fear.

But after seeing clearly the appearance of the person and their attire, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Konoha's forehead protector, Hokage's cloak, and golden hair, there is no doubt that he is the man called Yellow Flash.

However, the monks and the Ninja sect members had nothing to talk about, and they rarely interacted with each other.

After confirming that they were not here to cause trouble, the people from the Fire Temple dispersed and devoted themselves to the rescue work.

Minato found the abbot in the crowd, clasped his hands politely and said: "Master Abbot is kind-hearted and compassionate. Konoha's follow-up troops are on the way and can come to support immediately. I wonder what happened here in the capital?"

After all, Minato is the head of the village, and his influence in the ninja world is much greater than that of the leader of the Fire Temple.

Even if the abbot didn't want to talk about it, he didn't dare to underestimate it: "I don't know the details, I just know that there was a conflict between Uchiha Madara and Yunyin Village here."

The old monk looked at the middle of the city, where half a meteorite was exposed, which was daunting.

They were closer to the capital, and the battle had just ended when they arrived.

But they didn't dare to go up and harass them. After all, in the entire Fire Temple, there weren't many people who could be taken out.

Among the twelve guardian ninja warriors, Jilu is currently their strongest combat power.

However, even the land and earth died quietly. In this kind of battle where humans could not intervene, the monks chose to come out and lend a helping hand after the fact.

After the monk said this, he continued to disperse to see if there were any victims.

Minato frowned, thinking about what he just said.

Hearing that it was Kumoyin Village who was responsible, Minato could only say that it was reasonable but also unexpected.

The Hidden Cloud Village does have a motive to take action against Uchiha Madara. Whether it is to avenge the crisis that almost destroyed the village, or because Uchiha Madara is very likely to threaten the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki, it is enough for the violent Raikage to take action.

But Minato didn't expect that Raikage would be so reckless.

And they ran into their territory recklessly.

Now the top management of the Fire Nation is almost dead, and this mess is beyond repair.

Uchiha Xiangyang came back from the meteorite at this time, with an incredible expression on his face, "Confirmed, some of the burnt corpses were found with the forehead protectors of Kumogakure Village, as well as their signature weapons. Excluding extreme cases, basically

It’s certain that it was made by Yunyin Village. Hiss—I just don’t know about the meteorite..."

Uchiha Xiangyang, as a member of the Uchiha family, could not imagine how that kind of ninjutsu was created.

Simply inhuman.

Minato, who had already received the answer from the Fire Temple, just nodded: "Rescue people first, and by the way, pay attention to whether there are any lurking enemies left."

The two separated again and went wherever they heard calls for help.

When it was almost dawn, Konoha's ninjas finally arrived and joined the rescue work.

Minato then left the capital and went to comfort the residents outside the city.

Mainly local nobles and officials.

After all, the capital of the Country of Fire is the richest place. Whether it is ministers or meritorious nobles, most of them live in the city and are among those affected.

The Fire Nation is now leaderless, and someone will finally come out to take charge of the situation.

But when Minato actually went to meet these people, he immediately felt a headache.

First, the losses were too serious.

Uchiha Madara controlled most of the core nobles. When Uchiha Madara was busy fighting, those people had no thoughts of their own and basically died in the Daming Mansion or were struck by the sea of ​​fire.

It can be said that not even half of the capable ministers and generals are left.

As for those non-core members who were lucky enough to escape, after being frightened all night, their minds gradually came to life.

It stands to reason that most of them will never be associated with powerful people or inherit family property in their lifetime.

But now the opportunity has come.

Those who were originally in front of them are now basically dead.

According to status, seniority, and inheritance order, they were actually a blessing in disguise and saw hope.

But among these people who were originally squeezed out on the fringes of the nobility and power, how many of them are really capable?

Even if there is, it is only a very small part.

Even though many people received elite education when they were young, after learning that there is no hope of inheritance, most of them started to enjoy life and forgot the skills they learned in the early years.

If this group of people were to take charge of the overall situation, the Fire Nation might not be able to hold on for a few days.

What makes Minato even more troublesome is that many of them hope to gain power and identity with the support of him, the Hokage.

Some people secretly promised benefits, while others directly threatened and scolded them face to face.

It is full of ugliness and makes people speechless.

Minato tried to persuade him gently at first, but then his face gradually turned cold.

The dignity of this country is about to collapse. These people are still fighting for power. It is really hopeless.

To be honest, even if the name falls, it's still okay.

But now the entire power structure is almost at a standstill just like when Uchiha Oya killed all the middle and high-level officials in Konoha.

But Konoha is a small place after all, and there are enough candidates to join.

But here in the Fire Country...

Minato looked at the noisy and powerful juniors in front of him and felt helpless.

He simply left early on the pretext of preparing to take revenge on Yunyin Village.

After returning to the temporary camp, Uchiha came back to report the situation to Yang.

"The capital has suffered heavy losses. Only 20% of the buildings are usable. The casualties are still being counted. Except for the Daming Mansion, the number of casualties among other civilians has exceeded 10,000..."

Uchiha Xiangyang sighed, the subsequent fire caused too much damage, as well as the impact of the meteorite when it landed.

Many people who could not escape from the city basically died in these two disasters.

To be honest, even if there are still a few capable people in the Fire Country, the number of casualties may only be a fraction.

However, everyone was scared out of their wits, and no one could organize a rescue, so they were all waiting outside the city.

As a result, this situation can be said to be the largest casualty of casualties in the history of the Fire Nation.

"The situation at the attacker's side is also very bad. No survivors have been found so far, but the bodies are quite badly burned. We can't yet identify the deceased, and we don't know if the Raikage died here."

Judging from the result, it is undoubtedly Uchiha Madara's victory.

Unfortunately, I don’t know if Madara Uchiha was injured or where he is now.

"No ninja warrior survives?"

Minato asked.

The capital of the Land of Fire can be said to be the place with the most ninja warriors outside of Konoha.

Some nobles would keep some as bodyguards.

Including the daimyo, as well as the twelve guardian ninjas they had just participated in.

It stands to reason that if they do not directly participate in the battle, they still have a good chance of surviving.

Uchiha Xiangyang shook his head: "We can't count them yet. They are all charred corpses, and some are turned to ashes. There may be some alive, but they ran away, or Uchiha Madara may have made arrangements to deal with them in advance.

Already."

Minato sighed after hearing this.

If there are people alive, you may be able to get some additional information, such as the battle situation, etc.

And soon, he suddenly thought of another question.

Among the twelve guardian ninjas, Konoha contributed a lot, and among them there was a person with a special status.

Sarutobi Asuma...

When Uchiha Oiya massacred all major ninja clans, there were no males over ten years old left for them.

This also means that the Sarutobi family... is broken?

At this time, Inuzuka Takashi, who was in charge of the rescue outside, came back with news: "Sarutobi Asuma has been found, and he is still alive. The third generation of seniors just received him."

Minato and Xiangyang looked at each other and asked curiously: "What's going on with him?"

Although it was a good thing that Asuma survived, something felt a little strange.

There are no ninjas left alive in the entire city, and only Asuma is left?

This has to make people wonder whether Uchiha Madara left it behind intentionally.

Inuzuka Claw was also a little confused, but still shook his head: "Judging from his current rhetoric, it seems there is no problem."

"He said that that night, he had a confrontation with someone from another force of guardian nin outside. The man named Kazuma seemed to want to defect, so he went to test it."

"As a result, the battle broke out out of nowhere. They found out it was a Kumo ninja and were chased for a while. They were seriously injured."

"The man named Kazuma also survived. He followed Madara Uchiha away. He was seriously injured and faked his death. Fortunately, we found him in time and escaped later."

From a statement point of view, there is indeed nothing wrong with it.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire have indeed been unusual recently. As their bodyguards, it is understandable that they would have conflicts.

The timing is a bit coincidental, but not without reason.

This did not completely dispel Minato's doubts, but he could not find any explanation for the time being.

At this time, Inuzukazhao whispered: "The third generation is very excited. On his side..."

Minato thought for a while and said: "Just keep observing for now, just hide it from Sarutobi-senpai."

You don't need to think about it to know that Sarutobi Hiruzen will have some emotional problems at this time.

As the only surviving son, he has not yet reached adulthood and left a seed. If he dies, the Sarutobi family will really lose their popularity.

The third generation is already old. Even if he has some doubts at this time, he will convince himself and round up the doubtful points. At this time, there is no point in trying to deny it.

As the Hokage, Minato could only be said to be secretly looking for someone to keep an eye on him.

"Speaking of which, what about those people sent by Daming Palace before?"

Uchiha Xiangyang thought of this.

At the time when the Daming Palace sent people over, they were not sure whether Uchiha Madara was in control of the Daming Palace at that time.

Now their suspicion is no less than Asma's.

Minato thought for a while: "Let's find a reason to send them back to the capital."

If those people stay, they are indeed a ticking time bomb.

Expenditure is definitely necessary, but it should not be too direct.

Now the entire ninja world will pay attention to the Fire Nation. If the cutting is too severe, people will inevitably wonder whether there is a problem with Konoha's attitude towards the Fire Nation.

After thinking about it for a while, Inuzukazuma felt that this matter would give him a headache in the future.

The re-establishment of the ruling framework of the Fire Country, the attitude of the daimyo of other countries, the revenge against Yunyin Village, etc.

It's not something that can be dismissed so easily.

Moreover, if the Jinchuuriki of Cloud Hidden Village is captured by Uchiha Madara here this time, it means that Uchiha Madara has more and more tailed beasts in his hands, and his next target...

The first tail of Sunagakure Village, the seven tails of Iwagakure Village, other than that, they are the two tailed beasts of Konoha.

No matter which side Uchiha Madara seeks first, the impact on the ninja world will be considerable.

Minato had obviously thought of this as well, and looked melancholy.

The ninja world is about to become chaotic again.

He summoned Nara Shikaku and held an emergency meeting.

There is only one theme of the meeting: Fighting against Uchiha Madara!

"Things in the Kingdom of Rain are over, it's time to withdraw the manpower."

"Uchiha Madara can even control the daimyo for his own plan. His determination is unstoppable."

"We can't imagine how dangerous it will be after he obtains all the tailed beasts. This matter must be nipped in the bud."

"From now on, notify other forces to form an elite team to find and fight against Uchiha Madara!"
