Chapter 165: Hinata Shimizu's Death
Konoha March 46.
Accompanied by a loud noise in the Land of Grass and the mysterious deaths of dozens of Rock Ninjas.
The Konoha army stationed in the Land of Grass, led by Jiraiya, launched a surprise attack on the area controlled by the Iwagakure Village under the orders of the village's top leaders.
Under Jiraiya's lead in the charge, he who summoned Gamabunta was completely unstoppable by the Iwagakure ninjas.
With the deaths of several Iwagakure jonin, Konoha's declaration of war was delivered to Ōnoki.
At this time, the Iwagakure had been forced to evacuate the Land of Grass, and the Land of Grass once again returned to the control of Konoha.
Ōnoki, who was urging Danzo to hand over the remaining territory of the Land of Grass, immediately realized that something was wrong, and Orochimaru naturally disappeared.
When Orochimaru returned to Konoha Village again, he was accompanied by a young girl.
This was someone he had accidentally rescued on a battlefield when he was retreating to Konoha Village.
The girl's name is Honglian, and she possesses an extremely rare Crystal Release Bloodline Limit.
At this moment, she was snuggling up to Orochimaru, full of curiosity about everything in Konoha.
Back in the Iwagakure Village, Ōnoki realized that he had been deceived and did not irrationally expose Danzo's trick, but instead cursed him in his heart.
At the same time, there is also some admiration.
This method is very likely to cause discord in the village, but the other party still did it.
This kind of opponent must be wiped out to the point of being molecular in order to feel at ease.
Knowing that the situation was hopeless, Ohnoki could only contact the Takigakure Village and ask them to contain Konoha, while at the same time stepping up the attack on the Kumogakure Village.
Although negotiating peace with the Hidden Cloud Village is a good idea, the Hidden Cloud Village has never been so weak since its establishment, and Oonoki does not want to give up this opportunity.
In order to speed up the collapse of the Hidden Cloud Village, Ohnoki kept sending documents to the neighboring countries of the Land of Lightning.
Under Ohnoki's tireless lobbying, the Iron Kingdom was the first to move and took the lead in declaring war on the Hidden Cloud Village.
Soon, an army of 5000 samurai launched an invasion of the Hidden Cloud Village along the land route.
With the demise of the Iron Kingdom, the Hidden Mist Village, the Frost Kingdom, and the Moon Kingdom could no longer hold back and declared war on the Hidden Cloud Village.
The Hidden Mist Village in particular, seeing that the situation of the Hidden Cloud Village was hopeless, simply ignored the fact that it was still being harassed by the Artisan Village, and sent a team of 3000 people to land in the Land of Lightning, opening up a second battlefield.
Upon hearing the news, the Fourth Raikage was so angry that he smashed three tables in a row.
He had been forced to personally fight the Iwagakure Village, but he didn't expect that the Mist Village would stab him in the ass at this time.
"Damn Konoha, damn Iwagakure, damn Kirigakure."
The Fourth Raikage was at a loss at this point, so he could only leave everything to Dodai and concentrate on dealing with the Iwagakure Village.
And Tsuchida did not disappoint the expectations of the Fourth Raikage. He served as the commander-in-chief of the two fronts in the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Leaf Village. As soon as he took office, he used his own plan to ambush the Hidden Mist Village.
The momentum of the arrogant Kirigakure ninja was temporarily interrupted, and they were forced to go on the defensive.
Seeing that the Hidden Mist Village had temporarily calmed down, Tsuchida took this opportunity to transfer some ninjas from the front line of the cloud and mist and began to deploy the Konoha troops.
......
"12,13,14, 25, ... people."
Yamanaka Tao, who had his eyes closed, opened them and told the number of people chasing him.
"25 people. With our current state, I'm afraid..."
Uchiha Yashiro was a little annoyed, but helpless.
"Well, everyone is injured to some extent. Sooner or later, they will catch up with us."
Hinata Shimizu, who coughed up a mouthful of blood, expressed Uchiha Yashiro's thoughts.
“It’s too early to give up.”
Covering his right eye, blood kept dripping from Shimura Miao, he endured the pain and encouraged everyone.
Originally, their team of nearly a hundred people tried to launch a surprise attack on the Cloud Ninja's supply line, but they never expected to be ambushed by the enemy instead.
This made them, who were used to fighting with the wind at their disposal, unable to react for a while.
As more Cloud Ninjas died, the original team of a hundred people was completely dispersed, and only the three of them were left by Hinata Shimizu.
"Miao, after you return, you will be the temporary commander until the village sends someone to take over."
Hinata Shimizu made a decision quickly.
"Master Shimizu, this..."
Shimura Tae's expression froze for a moment, then he reacted.
Hinata Shimizu is going to personally cover their retreat and fight for their chance of survival.
"No, Master Shimizu, you are the supreme commander of the team, so I should stay here."
Yamanaka Tao was also shocked by Hinata Shimizu's words and immediately spoke out to stop him.
Uchiha Yashiro also had a conflicted look on his face. Deep down in his heart he didn't want to die here, but Hinata Shimizu's fearless attitude made him waver.
"Don't say any more. I was the one who made the plan for the raid, and I want to give an explanation to the ninjas who died unjustly this time."
Hinata Shimizu had a firm attitude. Although deep down he was reluctant to say goodbye to the brothers Hiashi and Hizashi forever, as the only person among the Konoha clans who had truly implemented the Will of Fire from his heart, Hinata Shimizu was ready to sacrifice himself.
"this......"
Everyone present was born into a prominent family and had their own understanding of the core of the Will of Fire.
But what none of them expected was that Hinata Shimizu actually implemented this will according to the ideas of the Sandaime.
"Myo, I have one last favor to ask of you. Please tell Lord Danzo that Hiashi and Hiashi, no, the entire Hyuga clan, are in his care."
In the end, under Hinata Shimizu's tough attitude, Shimura Tae and others were forced to flee.
Before leaving, Hinata Shimizu looked gentle and entrusted his last words to Shimura Myo.
"I certainly will, Master Shimizu!"
Nodding solemnly, Shimura Myo swore that he would convey his words to Danzo.
On April 46, 4th year of Konoha, Hyuga Shimizu was ambushed and after killing more than a dozen pursuing Cloud Ninjas, he was seriously injured and died.
This is also the highest-ranking ninja among the ninjas killed in Konoha since the war began.
"Father!"
Upon receiving the bad news, Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi let out a creepy cry.
At the same time, it also made them full of hatred towards the Hidden Cloud Village.
Under the strong request of Hinata Hiashi, "Shimura Danzo" had no choice but to agree to his request to go to the battlefield.
"I was careless this time. I didn't expect the Hidden Cloud Village was capable of setting an ambush."
Nara Shikasui's face was full of guilt, and he apologized to the "Shimura Danzo" in front of him.
The "Shimura Danzo" in front of him is still the transformation of Sarutobi Hiruzen. Although he has declared war on the Iwagakure Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer has any reason to disguise himself as Shimura Danzo.
But he still didn't want to take off his disguise.
[In order for Danzo to retire in a natural way, we still need to create some achievements for him. ]
Knowing that after this battle, Danzo would be forced to weaken his power whether he wanted it or not, Sarutobi Hiruzen prepared to add a few entries to his old friend's apparent credit book.
That's why the transformation was not cancelled.
