Chapter 243 The War is Coming (Subscription Request)
Mikasa had arranged everything for him, so although Allen was unwilling, he really had nothing to say.
It was true that his combat power was low, and it was also true that he was a hindrance.
But because of this, he was more eager to have power.
He even wanted to put himself in danger, and push his potential as Ryosuke said!
But until Allen and his friends arrived near the cave, the old cat still did not show up, and there was no extra reply.
And behind them, the crackling sound of electric sparks was getting closer and closer, and even affected their hearing.
The whistling wind whistled in their ears, just like the tinnitus caused by kidney deficiency. Mikasa's heart sank, "... dead cat, it won't run away."
To be honest, when they first approached the Hidden Cloud Village, she could still sense that the old cat was following them.
But now... she couldn't feel anything.
"Stinky woman, are you saying bad things about me behind my back?"
The next moment, a gray fat cat suddenly appeared beside Mikasa, almost following her steps, and even the rhythm of her breathing was instantly synchronized.
So fast! Where was he hiding just now? !
Mikasa was shocked.
She didn't expect that the lazy fat cat would be so hidden.
Is this the difference between a ninja from a big country ninja village and a ninja from a small country ninja village?
In her heart, she was a little more worried about the fight with the people from the Hidden Cloud Village.
Although she said it lightly to Allen, Mikasa never meant to look down on the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village.
"We have completed the mission and are now leaving the Land of Lightning."
Looking at the old cat next to her, Mikasa said seriously: "You didn't participate in the mission just now, and the people in the Hidden Cloud Village don't know you exist."
"I will be responsible for diverting the people who are tracking you, so that they will not have time to search for you for the time being. Please take Alan away from the Land of Lightning."
"No time."
The old cat's steps were very casual, like a clever sika deer, "Please, I'm not your babysitter. Your business is over, and I have other tasks to do."
The short legs jumped a long distance, not at all embarrassed because of the short legs and the need to run fast.
"But..."
Mikasa was going to say something.
"Good luck to you, I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."
Without giving Mikasa a chance to speak, the old cat just said a word, turned around, and left in the opposite direction.
Huh? !
Mikasa's steps paused for a moment, but without much hesitation, she continued to gallop towards the cave,
but her speed was deliberately slowed down and began to slow down.
She had expected that the old cat would not help, so although she was a little annoyed about it, she would not lose her composure.
What affected her mood was that the old cat actually turned around and ran towards the direction where the Cloud Hidden Ninjas were rushing!
Could it be that... he wanted to stop the Cloud Hidden Ninjas by himself?
But soon, Mikasa knew the truth.
When she brought Allen to the planned cave, the pursuit behind her did not slow down at all, and there was no sign of stopping at all.
It seemed that the Cloud Hidden Ninjas, like her, could not find the hiding of the old cat.
Although she was wondering what other tasks the old cat had to perform, now was not the time to care about others.
"Live, Allen."
Without saying much, Mikasa simply said one sentence and threw Allen into the originally arranged barrier.
Then she retreated all the way and sorted out all the movement traces nearby.
When she returned to a place several hundred meters away from the cave, Mikasa began to escape again.
And similarly, she still carried Allen on her back.
However, this Allen was transformed from her water clone.
"It's almost time to get there."
After running more than a hundred meters with his water clone on his back, the Cloud Hidden Ninja who had been chasing him first appeared behind Mikasa at the right time.
From his position, he could see Mikasa running fast in the distance without any obstruction.
And with his appearance, Mikasa's speed began to increase.
"Found you!"
The Cloud Hidden Ninja roared, and the lightning on his body became more intense.
His speed was also increasing, and the flare tightly held in his hand had been sent out and shot into the sky.
One chasing and one fleeing, Mikasa and the Cloud Hidden Ninja quickly left the vicinity of the cave.
Less than three minutes later, another group of Cloud Hidden Ninjas also arrived here. Although they stayed for a while, the movement not far away made them not hesitate too much, and they went directly to find the traces of movement left by the Cloud Hidden Ninja.
Lying next to the pile of fallen rocks, Allen in the barrier did not get up immediately.
He lay quietly in the pit, listening to the noisy sounds going away, staring at the sky with lifeless eyes, like a dead body.
All the scenes of Mikasa's arrangements appeared in her mind one by one. Although there were some better cover here than other places along the way, in order to let the Kumogakure Chunin pass through here without any hesitation, she chose to let the other party see their figures leave with their own eyes. Even if the pursuing Kumogakure wanted to check, they would not waste too much time when they saw her leaving.
Even if they really wasted time and stopped, they could only fall into the illusion of the barrier, search briefly, and then set out on the road of pursuit again in a hurry.
In order not to let the other party wonder why they could suddenly track them down, Mikasa slowed down all the way, hanging on the cloud-gakure ninja, calculating the distance.
From the steps of the cloud-gakure just now, Allen was sure that the other party had not thought of these things at all.
Perhaps when he saw Mikasa's figure leaving, he forgot to doubt the surrounding environment, and the same was true for others who heard them leaving later.
But even if these cloud-gakure didn't think of these, Mikasa had already made all the plans early, so that she could leave safely.
And the basis for the execution of this plan is rich mission experience and absolute control of one's own combat power.
If I were also a ninja, could I do the same thing as Mikasa?
Allen took a deep breath and sat up from the pit.
Strength is important, but you also have to have the mentality and wisdom to control strength.
The idea of putting himself in danger in his heart faded a lot, there was no need to use two lives to try something that might fail.
If he was in danger, Mikasa would definitely come to save him at all costs. He knew this very well.
And if he couldn't do what Ryosuke said, he would kill Mikasa!
If such a thing really happened, he would never forgive himself even if he became a ghost.
"It seems that we guessed wrong. The target of Akatsuki is not Konoha Village, but Iwagakure Village!"
The vast sea is endless.
On the sea less than a week away from the Land of Water, more than a dozen giant ships are sailing across the ocean.
On one of the giant ships,
a charming woman with a curvy figure is slowly squeezing the black eagle in her hand to death.
In her other palm, she is holding a small scroll like a key.
As top forces, Konoha and Kirigakure both have communication ninja beasts to transmit information, and Iwagakure Village is no exception.
The black eagle in her hand is the communication ninja beast of Iwagakure Village.
However, before it arrived and passed the message to the people of Iwagakure Village, it was accidentally intercepted by the people of Kirigakure and got the corresponding information one step earlier.
According to the current intelligence of Akatsuki, a masked man suspected to be Uchiha Madara attacked Iwagakure Village, causing almost all the remaining ninjas in Iwagakure Village to be wiped out.
Even the scroll conveying the situation was faintly stained with blood, as if the content was delivered at the risk of one's life.
"Just pretend that this incident never happened. This summoned beast died on the way."
Next to him, the master raised his skinny arm that looked like dry wood, clenched his cane and knocked on the board, "Or... you can put the blame on the people of Kumogakure Village."
For the ninja coalition, this is not good news.
If Ohnoki gets the news that Iwagakure Village was attacked, he will most likely withdraw his troops and return home directly.
After all, it is related to the survival of Iwagakure Village and the survival of Akatsuki Organization. Obviously, the former will have a higher priority.
But if Iwagakure Village is missing, the Akatsuki Organization's crusade may increase a lot of difficulty.
"Maybe... we don't have to join Konoha."
A hint of hesitation flashed in Mei Terumi's eyes, "After the battle with Akatsuki, we may have a chance to rebuild Kirigakure."
The reason they considered joining Konoha after Akatsuki was defeated was that they predicted that after this battle, Kirigakure's combat power would be reduced by eight or nine tenths, falling to a small or medium-sized force, and its position among the five major countries would no longer exist.
Although based on the secret techniques and combat power mastered by each of them as a foundation, as long as they were given enough time, they could rebuild Kirigakure, but this time would be very long.
It is hard to guarantee that other forces would not take the opportunity to attack, so they chose to join Konoha directly.
But now Iwagakure Village has also been attacked and suffered heavy losses, so...if other forces in the five major countries are also attacked and weakened by most of their combat power, wouldn't they be standing at the same height again!
Everyone suffered heavy losses and needed time to recuperate, so they didn't need to rely on others at all,
and could even build the rebuilt Kirigakure better and gather unprecedented cohesion!
"Forge the cause of Black Hawk's death, and then use it to send this letter to the Cloud Village intact."
"In order to complete the subjugation plan, the Fifth Raikage may make the same choice as us, that is, to conceal the news."
"After the war, we will reveal this news to Ohnoki and let him tear his face with the Cloud Village."
"We must also find a way to drag Konoha into the water, so that the three parties will fight after the subjugation..."
She spoke very quickly, one step after another.
Once there was a goal and a good result, Mei Terumi's brain turned flexibly.
After a while, a huge and tempting plan was presented to the master.
"You can give it a try."
A slow and old voice sounded from the master's mouth. He did not hesitate or consider much. His turbid eyes looked at the Fifth Mizukage in front of him, who was appointed by himself, and he was very satisfied.
"But in this case, perhaps in the next crusade plan, we have to find a way to save the lives of some important people."
"No matter whether they have betrayed us before, the memories in their brains are definitely a treasure."
Then, he slowly added.
Since the goal is to rebuild Kirigakure, we need to consider more support from the foundation.
In this crusade plan, both Water Country and Kirigakure are the biggest victims of this dispute.
Whether they lose or not, they will suffer a heavy blow.
But as the saying goes, the authorities are the most confused. Few people in Kirigakure can see this clearly. Most of them are still immersed in the beautiful dream woven by Akatsuki.
They still think that their Fourth Generation Mizukage is very powerful and has secretly cultivated a team that can shake the situation in the ninja world.
Even for the joint ninja army's door-to-door crusade, they may still think that it is because the four major villages are afraid of Kirigakure, or... Akatsuki did not pass this news to them at all, but concealed it, and planned to tell those idiots in Water Country when the real fight started.
After all, the news of Water Country to the outside world was completely blocked by Akatsuki.
The news that was widely spread in the outside world may not be heard at all in Water Country.
As for all this, Ryosuke could see it clearly from the sky, shook his head secretly, and flew directly past the Ninja Alliance and continued to fly towards the Water Country.
Although he set out a month later than the Ninja Alliance, he was flying after all, and the speed of the Ninja Alliance below, which was riding slowly on the giant ship, could not be compared at all.
For the Ninja Alliance, it took several days to travel, but Ryosuke arrived in just half a day at his flying speed.
Looking down at the island below from the sky,
The entire Water Country seemed to be covered by a layer of transparent bubble film. This was an extremely advanced barrier technique, and the scope extended to the entire country.
The current Water Country can be said to be the most dangerous battlefield in the Ninja World.
Many small island countries around it avoided it, and some countries even moved their entire countries to avoid the war in order not to be affected.
Compared with the fear and stay away of others, Ryosuke left the Rain Country happily and rushed over to watch this good show.
Maybe in this battle, he can meet Uchiha Madara,
Maybe after this battle, he can meet Kaguya Otsutsuki, so Ryosuke is quite looking forward to this battle.
Even... Ryosuke thinks he can find the missing Shanks here.
After all, although the Akatsuki organization has a tight blockade on the news of the Water Country, it can never stop Shanks, a powerful pirate who looks like an "ordinary person".
He has always wanted to see the high-end combat power of this ninja world, and he will not miss such an opportunity.
Of course, this barrier will definitely not stop Ryosuke.
A faint silver light lit up in his eyes, and the void in front of him seemed to be distorted. The next moment, when Ryosuke stepped through the distorted place, he appeared directly in the barrier of the Water Country silently.
Even between two stars, he can rely on the Samsara Eye to shuttle with a certain amount of time and sufficient chakra consumption, not to mention this barrier.
