"Minato-sensei and the others are too quick. Please at least leave me a sip of soup..."
After mumbling a few words, Akira Hatake glanced at the unconscious Kirabi on his shoulder, and after thinking for a while, he threw him to the ground.
As the burly Kirabi landed on the ground, he raised a cloud of dust.
But so far, Kirabi has shown no sign of waking up.
Crouching down, Hatake Akira checked Killer Bee's physical condition. "The Four Symbols Seal has sealed the Eight-Tails back into Killer Bee's body, and Killer Bee's injuries have almost recovered because of the Eight-Tails."
"He can't die, but perhaps because of the severe psychological trauma, Kirabi just can't wake up from his coma."
"But this is also good. It saves me a lot of trouble. I'll let you go here!"
Hatake Akira formed a Rasengan with his hands, then pressed it hard on the ground under his feet, immediately creating a big hole in the ground.
Clapping his hands, Hatake Akira kicked Kirabi into a big pit, then quickly filled the pit with soil and soon buried Kirabi, leaving only his head exposed.
"Let's bury it here. A Kumo ninja should pass by here and rescue Killer Bee. Then I can explain it to Jiraiya when I return."
Hatake Akira had a good idea, but it was somewhat difficult to explain why he let Killer Bee go without permission.
After all, they had already captured Kirabi, and then released him. This matter is somewhat weird and it is inevitable that people will think too much.
After doing all this, Hatake Akira suddenly disappeared in a flash.
Not long after Hatake Akira left, several fleeing Cloud Ninjas saw Killer Bee buried in the ground.
……
Flying Thunder God Kunai: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!
The closer they got to the front line of the Cloud Ninja forces, the more Cloud Ninjas fled, but most of these Cloud Ninjas were weaker.
If he was strong enough, he would have been at the front long ago. How could he still be so far behind?
After encountering a large number of remaining Cloud Ninja troops, Hatake Akira naturally would not be polite. After using the Flying Thunder God Kunai: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to trap them within the coverage of the Flying Thunder God Kunai, Hatake Akira began to kill and harvest.
"It's brother!"
Kakashi, who was chasing the remaining Cloud Ninja troops, naturally noticed the unusually eye-catching silver flash in front of him at first sight, and shouted with some excitement.
"That's right, it seems he has already dealt with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee."
There was no reason why Minato Namikaze wouldn't notice it, so he nodded with a smile and allowed Kakashi and the others to catch up.
"elder brother!"
"Kakashi."
In order to clean up some weaker Cloud Ninjas, Hatake Akira's speed was naturally not slow. By the time Kakashi caught up, Hatake Akira had already finished the job.
"Are you okay?"
The two brothers asked at the same time in perfect tacit understanding, smiled at each other and shook their heads.
"You say it first." X2
Another perfect synchronization, which made Hatake Akira quite helpless, and Kakashi's handsome face hidden under the mask also turned a little red.
"Let me speak first."
"..."
The two brothers looked at each other in silence. An awkward atmosphere lingered around them and the air seemed to be frozen.
"Are you trying to embarrass me?!"
Hatake Akira reached out and gave Kakashi a slap on the forehead, "Leave the rest to others, let's go meet up with Minato-sensei first."
"it is good!"
Kakashi rubbed his forehead, narrowed his eyes, nodded, and followed Hatake Akira towards Minato Namikaze.
Chapter 152 A bigger challenge is coming.
After master and disciple Akira Hatake, Kakashi and Minato Namikaze reunited, the rest of the things became much simpler.
The three of them worked together to clear out most of the Cloud Ninjas who had fled to the right wing, and the remaining mess was naturally left to the Konoha Ninjas to deal with.
Without the previous tension, the three of them stood side by side and walked slowly in the direction of Jiraiya's pursuit.
It can be predicted that when the four of them gather together, the Cloud Ninja troops retreating towards the Land of Lightning will have to leave behind a large number of bodies of their companions along the way before they can safely enter the territory of the Land of Lightning.
It can be said that without the restraint of top combat power, the Cloud Ninja Army's defeat speed was far beyond imagination, and the casualties suffered in this battle were also extremely heavy.
The Cloud Ninja Army originally had a strength of over 5000, and it would be good if 500 of them could return alive.
It may be an exaggeration to say that the Land of Lightning has suffered serious damage, but with the loss of more than 4000 fresh troops, Jiraiya's troops will have a chance of survival when facing the 1.5 ninja army of the Hidden Cloud Village in the future.
But it was only a slight chance of survival. Less than 1500 people faced an enemy that was ten times their number. This asymmetric war still made Jiraiya, who had achieved such a great result, visibly depressed.
It was getting dark and the Konoha ninjas who were cleaning up the battlefield returned one after another.
In General Jiraiya's tent, four people with a close relationship sat cross-legged around a small square table.
Wow...
Kakashi, who had the lowest status, held the teapot and turned around before finally filling the cup in front of him.
"Kakashi's tea-making skills are becoming more and more perfect..."
Jiraiya took a sip of the hot tea, praised Kakashi, and placed the cup on the small square table. He then sighed, "We can only enjoy two more days of leisure at most."
"What's wrong, teacher?"
Minato Namikaze originally wanted to take a sip of hot tea, but after hearing what Jiraiya said, he simply put down the teacup and leaned his head to ask.
"According to the latest information from spies, the Hidden Cloud Village has come out in full force this time, with a total force of over 1.5."
"What?! 1.5 million!"
Namikaze Minato's eyes suddenly widened, his voice trembling, "They are coming out in full force, right? Are they ready to fight to the death?"
"What do you think?" Jiraiya glanced at Hatake Akira calmly, "Your good student has done something, and as a teacher, you should clean up his mess."
"Hey, Master." Hatake Akira put down the teacup in his hand. Although he looked embarrassed, his voice was not weak in momentum. "If we hadn't killed A back then, we wouldn't have been able to achieve this great victory today, right?!"
"Hmph, you have the nerve to say that?"
Jiraiya wasn't really angry, but he still looked at Hatake Akira deeply, "Many things in war can be done in any way, but the key is that A's identity is too sensitive."
"I know that, but at that time..."
"Alright, I'm not asking for blame. I'm just saying that A's death was the first factor that led to the Hidden Cloud Village rushing out without regard for the consequences." Jiraiya interrupted Hatake Akira's words, "Since it was you who caused the trouble, then it's understandable that I give you a task, right?"
"Master... Never mind. I'll accept whatever the mission is."
Hatake Akira was deflated. He knew that Jiraiya had no good intentions when he mentioned that he killed A, and he guessed right.
But even if he guessed correctly, it would be of no use. Hatake Akira could only obey Jiraiya's arrangements.
……
Headquarters of Danzo Shimura.
"This is the transfer order you assigned to those two people. Now you can tell me the information that affects the safety of Konoha, right?"
Danzo Shimura held a transfer order in his hand, shook it and presented it to White Zetsu.
"Danzo, I know more about this information than you do." Bai Zetsu smiled indifferently, not even looking at the content of the transfer order. "I even know where Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin are now, so don't even think about trying to get any information out of me."
White Zetsu's words made Shimura Danzo's face instantly gloomy, not because White Zetsu contradicted him, but because of White Zetsu's incredible ability to gather intelligence, which frightened Shimura Danzo.
The importance of intelligence no longer needs examples to prove it. Danzo Shimura understands it better than anyone else. Whoever obtains the other party's intelligence first will gain the advantage.
White Zetsu is neither a friend nor an enemy now. Danzo Shimura has no idea what White Zetsu is going to do, which makes Danzo Shimura feel unsure.
Regarding the power that cannot be controlled in one's hands, Danzo Shimura always maintains this philosophy: if you can't get it, destroy it!
But after trying several times, Danzo Shimura was unable to kill White Zetsu. Every time he killed one, another White Zetsu would reappear in front of Danzo Shimura the next day.
This made Danzo Shimura wonder, is White Zetsu a person or an organization?
If it was just one person, then White Zetsu's danger level would be much lower, but if it was an organization...
Then Danzo Shimura would have to find other ways to break the impasse.
Danzo Shimura naturally placed the key point of breaking the deadlock on Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin, who were specifically mentioned by White Zetsu.
While waiting for Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin to come, Danzo Shimura also used the intelligence resources at his disposal to quickly investigate Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin thoroughly.
Uchiha Obito is an exception in the Uchiha family.
He has decent talent and isn't stupid, but many of the Uchiha clan's characteristics are not reflected in Uchiha Obito.
Uchiha Obito is easy-going. He does not always have a cold face in his Uchiha way of getting along with others. Moreover, Uchiha Obito is very caring. No matter the old, the weak, the sick, or the cats and dogs, as long as they encounter problems in front of him, Uchiha Obito will always help them without asking for anything in return.
This greatly surprised Danzo Shimura who had received the information. He felt that Uchiha Obito was not at all the Uchiha he had imagined.
On the other hand, Nohara Rin is so ordinary that she couldn't be more ordinary. She is the kind of person who, if thrown into a crowd of people, you can't find her unless you look carefully.
If there is any difference, it is that Nohara Rin is one of the few people who is very close to Uchiha Obito, and the two of them even have a tendency to develop into lovers.
No, strictly speaking, the two were only a piece of paper away from becoming lovers.
This left Danzo Shimura completely puzzled. In the eyes of White Zetsu, these two inconspicuous people were actually equated with a crucial piece of information.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Given Shimura Danzo's character, it would be a bit unfair to him if he didn't leave some tricks for the two of them.
"Shimura Danzo, I warn you to restrain yourself. If you do it again, our cooperation will end here!"
White Zetsu saw the murderous intent flashing in Shimura Danzo's eyes and immediately warned Shimura Danzo.
You know, during the days that White Zetsu was with Danzo Shimura, many of his clones died, which made him very sad.
"No, I'm just curious."
Shimura Danzo didn't say much, but turned the topic back to intelligence. "Since you don't trust me, then I don't trust you either. Why don't you reveal some more information so that we can cooperate more harmoniously."
"Tch, I knew it."
White Zetsu looked at Shimura Danzo with disdain, and then revealed a little bit of the information, "Iwagakure sent a team of elite ninjas to attack Konoha Village."
"When? How? How many people?"
"Hey, I can only tell you this after I see you!" Bai Zetsu's body melted into the soil and gradually disappeared. "I'll come to take over from you tomorrow. You'd better not play any tricks..."
