Chapter 109: Undetected Conspiracy
"Hatagi Style: Thousand Years of Killing!"
Accompanied by a shrill scream, Hatake Sakumo used White Fang to perform the Thousand Years of Death and eliminated the last Taki ninja.
More than forty Taki ninjas died at his hands, and their blood dyed all the nearby land red.
Pull the White Fang out of the body of the Takinin who had just been dealt with.
Using blood vibration to shake off the blood on the sword, Hatake Sakumo put White Fang back into the sheath.
As the battle on Sakumo's side ended, Kakuzu successfully lifted the seal on the cave entrance.
Coming to Kakuzu's side, Sakumo watched Kakuzu's magical operations with interest.
I saw Kakuzu use the tentacles of Diyuan Yu to gently peel off the detonating talisman placed at the entrance of the cave and put it into his bag.
The triggering spells on it have all been released by Kakuzu. In other words, this is a brand new detonating tag that can be sold at the Ninja Tool Shop.
After confirming that there were no other traps, the two looked at each other and slowly walked into the cave.
......
Although Kyousuke was unwilling to accept what happened in the sealed land, he could do nothing about it.
Under the powerful attack of Iwagakure and Masakawa, he had no extra strength to support there.
He now only hoped that the ones who attacked there were Masakawa's men, so that the tailed beasts would at least still belong to Takigakure Village.
But can Masakawa, who is willing to become a puppet, really save the tailed beast?
Kyousuke forced himself not to think too much.
As the losses on both sides continued to increase, the Rock Ninjas were about to break through the first line of defense.
"Melting Style: Ash Stone Sealing Technique."
A Rock Ninja Jonin spat out black volcanic rock from his mouth, fixing several Taki Ninja who had no time to dodge in place.
"Earth Style: Rock Cannon Technique."
Seeing that the Taki ninjas were restricted in their movements, several Iwa ninjas immediately shot them in the head with their rock cannons.
This is a fixed target. Anyone who misses it will be laughed at.
"It's actually a Lava Release Ninja..."
Orochimaru, who had been hiding in the dark and observing the situation, was very excited.
Danzo repeatedly forbade the Root to use the village's ninjas for human experiments, which left Orochimaru with nothing but envy at the bloodline limits in the village, but not daring to take any action.
If people from the same village are not allowed to use it, doesn't that mean people from other villages can use it at will?
With his eyes fixed on the Lava Release Ninja, Orochimaru was ready to launch a surprise attack during the chaos.
"Lord Orochimaru."
Just as Orochimaru was looking for the right moment to take action, a Root ninja suddenly appeared and interrupted his action.
"what happened?"
Hearing the urgency in the other party's tone, Orochimaru spoke in a cold voice.
"Lord Danzo has ordered you to retreat immediately!"
......
"Kakuzu-sama, Sakumo-sama."
Relying on the marks left by Sakumo along the way, Uchiha Qing and others successfully reunited with each other.
"This is......"
Uchiha Qing was surprised when he saw the huge pottery jar being held by two black monsters.
"Oh, this is the Thousand Ink Stone, the magical tool used to seal the Seven-Tails."
After briefly explaining, Shuomao asked everyone to leave quickly.
The situation in Takigakure Village is unclear, and they must race against time to transport the tailed beasts back to Konoha Village.
"That is--"
In the distance, a sudden white light attracted everyone's attention.
Judging from the direction, it seemed that someone released a straight line ninjutsu in the air.
Flying ninja?
No way......
Hatake Sakumo's expression immediately turned ugly.
......
"What did you say? A large army of Cloud Ninjas forced their way into the Land of Hot Springs?!"
Hiruzen, who received an urgent report from the border patrol, was incredulous when he heard the news.
"Yes, Hokage-sama, their troops are now confronting Shimura Myoto's troops at the border."
Looking at the disheveled ninja in front of him, Hiruzen, who was so shocked that he stood up from his seat, calmed himself down and asked someone to send the ninja down to rest first.
"Call Mito Kado En!"
"Yes!"
The Anbu ninja who received the order set off immediately.
Seeing the office return to peace, Hiruzen sat back in his chair and began to sort out the context of the matter.
Although they never expected the Hidden Cloud Village to abide by the treaty for a long time, the timing of their actions was too coincidental.
The gold sand was robbed, a coup d'état occurred in Takigakure Village, and the Kumogakure Village tore up the secret agreement.
Behind all this, there seems to be a pair of dark hands, cleverly weaving a conspiracy against Konoha.
"Someone, go call Qu Feng!"
Realizing that something was not right, Hiruzen once again called over an Anbu on standby.
"Not only Narufu, but also Nara Shikasui, Hyuga Kiyomizu, and Yamanaka Koichi. Have them come to see me immediately!"
"Yes!"
[It's only been five years since peace began, and war is about to come to the ninja world again? 】
Turning his gaze toward the Hokage Rock outside the window, Hiruzen stared at the rock statue of Hashirama.
I miss the days when the other person existed so much.
"It would be great if Master Hashirama were still here."
......
"This is Dust Escape."
Looking back at the place where he had ambushed before with lingering fear, Orochimaru felt fear but also a yearning for this power.
Just now, when he led his subordinates to evacuate the battlefield area, a huge beam of light descended from the sky, turning the grove into a white field.
Now, in the entire ninja world, the only one who can use Dust Release is Ōnoki.
In other words, Ohnoki actually came to the battlefield in person.
This is also the message that the Anbu sent by Danzo wanted to convey.
Before Danzo arrived at Takikuni, his Root subordinates delivered this fatal information to Danzo as quickly as possible.
"Oonoki left Iwagakure Village and disappeared!"
Looking at the entire ninja world, the only thing that can be related to the Iwagakure Village now is what happened in the Takigakure Village.
Good courage.
Danzo began to admire this big-nosed man in his heart.
Generally speaking, as the pillar of the village, the shadow of a village cannot leave the village easily.
The village that has carried this out to the extreme is Konoha Village.
Ever since the Thousand Hands Tobirama was ambushed and blood was spilled in the Land of Thunder.
Hiruzen basically never left Konoha Village.
When he needed to negotiate face-to-face with other Kage, he would always send someone to invite them to Konoha.
Now that Ōnoki has gone out in person, unless he calls Hiruzen over, he will never be his match with his current strength.
Therefore, Danzo made a prompt decision and immediately sent someone to order Orochimaru to lead the team to retreat, and at the same time sent more people to Sakumo to provide support.
There are more than 20 open-eyed Uchiha, representing the mid-level combat power of Konoha Village, and there must be no mistakes.
Even if it means giving up the tailed beast, it is worth it.
