Chapter 114 Return to the Fire Nation
Ohnoki stood up from the ground, holding his waist, and looked around, trying to find a medical ninja.
But he forgot that the current medical ninja system of the Iwagakure Village is also imperfect, and several medical ninjas temporarily pulled from the hospital were killed in the chaos.
Using Dust Release multiple times had already drained Ōnoki's chakra from the ground, and the injury on his waist made it impossible for him to continue fighting.
When I go back, I must improve the medical ninja system of the Iwagakure Village!
Ohnoki, who was sweating profusely from the pain, made up his mind secretly after learning that all the medical ninjas were dead.
After giving detailed instructions on precautions, especially about not having conflicts with the Hidden Cloud Village, Ōnoki handed over the command to Huo Guang and, under the escort of several Iwagakure ninjas, he arrived at a safe place to wait for the arrival of new medical ninjas.
After receiving the order, Huoguang immediately led his men to continue attacking the defense line of Takigakure Village, leaving only a few Chunins at the scene. While cleaning up the battlefield, they waited for the return of their companions who had gone to pursue the Konoha ninjas.
The sound of fighting in the distance effectively masked the subtle rustling sounds beneath the ground.
This group of Iwagakure ninjas would never have imagined that, beneath their feet, a Konoha ninja was using the earth navigation technique to move forward.
"Ninja Technique: The Art of Disturbing the Mind and the Body."
With a low shout, an Iwagakure ninja suddenly drew out his kunai and stabbed his companion beside him.
Accompanied by a scream, everyone was stunned by this sudden scene.
"Seichiro, what are you doing!?"
Seeing that the stabbed Rock Ninja covered his chest and slowly stopped struggling, it was obvious that he was not going to survive, and an Rock Ninja shouted sternly.
"No, not me!"
Seiichiro, who was named, looked flustered, but his hands did not stop moving and continued to attack his companions in front of him.
As the chaos ensued, many of the Rock Ninjas discovered to their horror that they could no longer control their own bodies.
As the last Iwagakure fell, Yamanaka Zensai emerged from underground.
At the end of the Second Ninja World War, during the negotiations between Konoha and Sunagakure, it was clearly stated that the Sunagakure Village should hand over the puppet secret technique.
After the puppet secret technique was sent to him, Hiruzen sent people to analyze the principles of this technique in detail and asked them to evaluate whether it could be promoted and used in Konoha.
However, the final result was that no one was interested in this technique.
The ninjas of the great ninja clans have not yet finished learning all of their own secret techniques, so how could they have the time to learn puppetry?
The civilian ninjas also looked down on the junk of the Sand Village.
In the end, only the Yamanaka clan expressed some interest in this secret technique.
After a period of research, they actually figured out a secret technique.
Secret Art: Puppet Reversal of Fate.
Through the Yamanaka clan's mind-turning technique, they save the step of controlling the puppet with chakra lines and instead drive the puppet's actions through their own spirit.
This also makes up for the relatively fragile nature of puppetry itself.
In addition, the Yamanaka Clan itself is not known for its fighting ability, so after this secret technique was developed, it was recognized by most people in the Yamanaka Clan.
After dealing with the Iwagakure ninja, Yamanaka Shan did not dare to stay and hurriedly got up and chased in the direction where Sakumo and others left.
His real body had been lurking nearby, so Yamanaka Yoshi witnessed Ōnoki getting injured and leaving with his own eyes.
He also learned through the conversation that Ōnoki's chakra was about to run out. This information could help Konoha better understand Ōnoki's fighting ability.
......
"Lord Orochimaru, there are Iwagakure ninjas chasing us from behind. There are about a dozen of them, and they haven't sensed the Tsuchikage's chakra."
"I know, leave it to me."
Orochimaru's face did not look very good. The losses in this operation were too great. Although the casualties were greater on the Iwagakure side, those who sacrificed here were all Root ninjas, and the weakest had the strength of a special jonin.
If the Tsuchikage hadn't come in person, it would have been impossible for that group of Rock Ninjas to force them back.
I didn't expect these guys would dare to chase me.
Not surprisingly, this group of overconfident Rock Ninjas, except for one Lava Release Ninja who was captured alive by Orochimaru, all the rest were killed by Orochimaru.
After resolving this minor incident, everyone continued to run towards the border of the Fire Nation.
Finally, twenty kilometers away from the border, they finally encountered Konoha reinforcements coming to support them.
"Sarutobi-sensei."
After seeing the identity of the leader, Orochimaru could not hide his surprise, even Jiraiya and Tsunade were a little caught off guard.
His Hokage teacher actually left Konoha Village.
Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his three disciples standing in front of him safe and sound.
Ever since he knew that Ōnoki was likely to appear in Takigakure Village, he handed over all the affairs of the village to Mito Kado En, and without any guards, he headed towards the border of the Land of Fire at full speed.
Then they came with the Border Patrol to provide support.
"Where's Danzo?"
After learning the general course of events from his disciples, Hiruzen realized that there was no sign of his old friend among the crowd.
There was a hint of anxiety in his tone.
"Danzo-sama was fighting the Sandaime Raikage and was not with us."
Sakumo spoke hastily.
As Sakumo finished his words, Hiruzen's expression became uglier.
Noticing the change in Hiruzen's expression, Sakumo hastily added:
"When we evacuated, Orochimaru sent people to pick us up. I think we should be able to meet Lord Danzo soon."
Although the three teams of Root ninjas led by Orochimaru were wiped out by Ōnoki, the team that Danzo brought later to support Sakumo suffered no losses.
Therefore, Orochimaru specially sent the two people that Danzo liked to have by his side the most.
Things happened just as Sakumo said. Danzo, who was traveling through the woods, soon met Yekura and Aburame Ryoma, who were sent by Orochimaru to pick him up.
With them were two Uchiha clan ninjas left behind by Uchiha Qing.
After a brief exchange, the few of them continued to move towards the border of the Fire Nation.
Danzo also took this opportunity to review this failed operation in his mind.
In fact, Danzo had already anticipated that Ōnoki would personally appear on the battlefield of Takigakure Village.
In his opinion, the three ninjas of Konoha plus Sakumo and Kakuzu were more than enough to beat up one Ōnoki.
As a result, the Sandaime Raikage suddenly intervened and directly grabbed Sakumo and Kakuzu, and almost killed them both.
Information about the Hidden Cloud Village is still too scarce.
Due to skin color and customs, espionage operations in the Hidden Cloud Village are not easy to carry out, and Konoha has never been able to get news from there in the first place.
After returning, I must find a way to establish a news channel in the Hidden Cloud Village.
Having made up his mind secretly in his heart, Danzo's eyes were full of grimness.
