267. The Eve of War (1)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Time has moved forward one month.

The village still maintains peace, but in the training ground, the number of ninjas coming to train has increased a lot.

In order to deal with the powerful rebellious ninjas of the Akatsuki organization, Anbu conducted many targeted exercises, including tactics for fighting in the desert and tactics used in the rainforest.

With so many ninjas training together, even if it is done in secret, it cannot be hidden from the eyes of the villagers.

However, in order to take into account the emotions of the people, the senior management did not inform them of the current difficulties they were facing, but chose to conceal it.

As a member of the Jounin of Konoha, Hinata Zou naturally participated in the exercise.

During the exercise, he also truly got a glimpse of the village's heritage. As time went by, his generation of contemporaries gradually grew up, and perhaps after experiencing a war, they could truly become the main force.

After the exercise, Hyugazo, Uchibo and other Anbu were summoned by the Third Generation.

Hyugazo was not surprised at all by the third generation's summons, but secretly guessed in his heart whether it was because Shukaku was about to be resurrected.

In fact, this is also the case. After arriving at the ANBU base, the Third Hokage declared a state of emergency in front of all ANBU ninjas. No ANBU related personnel were allowed to go out and were ready for war at any time.

After receiving this news, the ANBU ninja looked at each other and continued to look at the Third Hokage.

Although most of them have not directly faced the threat from the Akatsuki organization, the senior management is now no less serious than the Third Ninja War.

Facing the coming war, while they condemned the battlefield, they also felt a little happy in their hearts.

Only in large-scale wars can they gain enough merit and improve their status in the village.

No matter how beautiful the Will of Fire is, it cannot change the fact that Konoha Hidden Village is a war machine.

After a pause, the Third Hokage continued to look at the ANBU and once again declared the threat of the Akatsuki organization. Hinata saw this and secretly said that this was almost a mobilization meeting.

After the long shouting, the three generations left behind the elite ANBU, with only a few ninjas left.

Almost all famous ninjas of this level have the strength of jounin, and they are considered elites in the entire ninja village, including Hinata Zou, Uchi Bo and others.

Hinata looked around and saw many familiar people, such as Kakashi and Yamato.

In front of Hinagazou and others, the third generation was no longer as vague as before, and said straight to the point: "According to the information from Sunagakure, Ichibi will be resurrected within the next two weeks..."

All the ninjas present fell into silence. Unlike the other ANBU, they all knew what the resurrection of one tail meant.

This means that the conflict that was originally covered up by the death of Ichibi will break out again, and the war with the Akatsuki organization is not far away.

After pondering for a moment, Kakashi asked the Third Generation: "Sandai-sama, did Sunagakure give the specific location of the resurrection?"

The third generation frowned and said: "The specific location was not given. We can only speculate that it is within the desert area according to convention."

"Then this will be difficult..." Kakashi fell into thinking.

The village and the Akatsuki organization are competing for the tailed beast, but if the specific location cannot be confirmed, whoever finds it first will have the advantage.

After thinking carefully, Kakashi asked: "What does the Third Generation plan to do?"

As soon as this statement came out, the Third Hokage did not reply.

After Ichibi's resurrection, Sunagakure cannot be captured alone. Konoha must send out ninjas to assist, but in this case, Konoha's power will inevitably be divided into three.

First of all, a large number of ninjas must be left to guard the village. Secondly, the main force must be sent to raid the territory of the Rain Country. Only the rest can get help from Sunagakure.

But he didn't think clearly about the proportions and candidates.

In the past, it was safest to send Uchiha to help control the tailed beasts, but there was only one pair of kaleidoscopes in the village, and the attack on the Land of Rain might also require the assistance of kaleidoscopes.

After thinking for a long time, the third generation issued an order for Kakashi, Kai, and Yamato to organize a team to go to the Kingdom of Wind. On the one hand, they were powerful, and on the other hand, they had the experience of visiting Sunagakure Village.

Then, after pondering for a while, the third generation asked again: "Yin, I plan to let Shisui and Kakashi travel together, do you have any objections?"

After Yin was asked, he quickly said: "Shisui shouldn't refuse."

"That's good…"

The Third Hokage nodded. He had heard about Yin accepting Hinata as his disciple. Uchiha and Hinata were very close. In a sense, their strength was not inferior to that of the Hokage.

In fact, those neutral factions do not expect to be completely on the Hokage's side.

Until he left the ANBU base, the third generation did not give any specific orders to Hyugazo and Uchibo in advance, as if they had other plans in the future.

Walking on the streets of Konoha, Uchibo couldn't help but recall the third generation's attitude towards her just now.

Take the initiative to ask for her opinion. This is no longer a simple relationship between a boss and a subordinate, but more like an equal relationship.

Although this is related to her outstanding record so far, it is more about her and the family behind her.

However, she didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Her current strength might be different from that of Hokage, but it wouldn't be too far apart.

Of course, she did not know the specific strength of the Third Hokage. After all, this Hokage had not made a move for many years, and ninjas would gradually decline in strength with age.

After wandering around the night market, Uchibo, who was not interested, looked at Hinata Zou beside him and asked: "Hey, do you know where your true body is now?"

Hyugazo, who was just a clone, smiled: "According to the plan, the main body should be on the way to the Land of Rain. If there is an emergency, we don't know."

Hearing this, Uchibo showed little interest, and when the two of them reached a fork in the road, they separated.

After returning to the Uchiha tribe, Yin immediately rushed to the forest near the tribe, where Shisui was training in the forest, mainly in physical skills.

After his vision gradually declined, Shisui realized that he could not rely too much on the Sharingan and had no choice but to continue to use his talents in taijutsu.

Move quickly in the forest, turn into dozens of phantoms, and smash the preset targets.

Shisui completed a new round of practice. At this time, he also noticed Uchiha standing aside and quickly stepped forward to ask questions.

Yin nodded slightly and said: "Shisui, the third generation wants you to follow Kakashi-senpai's team to Sunagakure and assist Sunagakure in capturing Ichibi."

"Okay!" Zhisui smiled and nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

Oto didn't give any objections to the mission, so he naturally wouldn't object. Besides, he and Kakashi's team had experience in carrying out missions, and they got along fairly well with each other.

Whether it is Kakashi, Gai or Yamato, they all regard Uchiha as a member of the village and a companion in the team.

Looking at Shisui who was promising, Yin frowned and said: "Try not to use the kaleidoscope on this mission. Your situation is worse than mine. When necessary, life should be given priority. Even if you control the Kazekage to die and escape,

No problem."

………

Within the Land of Rain.

Visiting the Land of Rain again, Hinata Zang was already familiar with the road, and soon entered the Rain Hidden Village and took a short rest in his own shop.

Thanks to Nagato and Xiaonan Exchange, the Chamber of Commerce has developed well in the Land of Rain, and the tailed beast emblem has occupied half of the streets of Rain Hidden Village.

There is nothing that can be done about this. The Country of Rain is closed to the outside world, and there are not many coveted resources within the territory. If it were not located on a traffic thoroughfare, no one in the Great Ninja Village would even pay attention to it.

With the Tailed Beast Chamber of Commerce’s investment regardless of cost, it is extremely normal to have a place in the Land of Rain.

However, with the advance of Iwagakure in Kusagakure Village and the attention of other countries, the territory of Rain Country has become a lot more lively recently and is full of spies.

The only exception is Yuyin Village. Under the influence of Yu Hu's Free Technique, there is almost no soil for spies to survive.

Hyugazo came to Amegakure Village this time, on the one hand, to receive an invitation from Nagato, and on the other hand, to explore the intelligence information of the Akatsuki organization.

There is nothing easier to obtain information than sneaking into the enemy, as long as you don't become the number one figure in the Akatsuki organization.

Looking at the street on a rainy night, it didn't take long for Hyugazo to see Konan's figure. When he saw Konan wearing black and red clouds, the shop owner immediately brought milk tea and snacks.

Looking at Xiaonan sitting down with milk tea, Hinata chuckled and said: "It seems that Lord Angel is quite satisfied with the products of the Chamber of Commerce."

Xiaonan took a sip of milk tea and stared at Hinata.

She had only been to the Tailed Beast Merchant Guild's stores a few times with her recently accepted apprentice Shionhua, but after getting used to it, it seemed like it was full of magic and she could no longer quit.

Maybe it was because the smiling face of the aster flower reminded her of the past, or maybe it was the deliciousness of the things themselves.

Seeing Konan who was hesitant to speak, Hinata waved the shop owner to leave temporarily.

At this time, Xiaonan, who had finished drinking her milk tea, moved her eyes and said lightly: "Penn asked me to come over and warn you that Ichibi is about to be resurrected... Don't do what you did before!"

Hinatazou heard the warning in Xiaonan's words and knew what that matter meant.

"Those ninja villages may do the same thing..." After spreading his hands, Hyugazo continued: "But in order to realize that plan, does Master Pain really want to go to full-scale war with the five major ninja villages? You are for peace, but now you are

We’re going to start another war.”

"It's the Three Great Ninja Villages..." Konan corrected without the indifference he showed when they first met: "Our targets are only jinchūriki and tailed beasts. As long as the tailed beasts are handed over, the battlefield will not break out."

Hinata smiled disapprovingly and said extremely realistic words: "Have you ever thought about what this place will look like if it fails?"

Hyugazo did not say anything casually, but said serious words in a joke.

Based on what the Akatsuki organization has done, if it fails, Yuyin Village will inevitably face liquidation.

In my impression, after Nagato died in the original time and space, Amegakure Village became dilapidated and desolate, not even comparable to the Hanzo period, let alone the current order.

Xiaonan raised an eyebrow and said, "Master Payne has his own arrangements, and you can't influence me."

Hinata smiled and stopped asking too much about this issue. In fact, his attitude towards the upcoming war between the Akatsuki organization and the Konoha Alliance was extremely ambiguous.

On the one hand, he hopes that the Akatsuki organization will continue, take the opportunity to collect the chakra of the nine tailed beasts, and continue to lay out the chakra network.

On the one hand, he didn't want Nagato's plan to succeed.

Nagato's plan seems to be very good. Countries do not dare to launch a battlefield easily due to deterrence, but Obito and Black Zetsu will not give up, not to mention that the ninja world will encounter more threats in the future.

Therefore, even if Nagato succeeds, the peace of the ninja world will be extremely fragile and cannot withstand external attacks.

After all, permanent peace is just a beautiful illusion, and at best it is relative peace.

After pondering for a moment, Hyugazo looked at Konan, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked: "So, when will Master Pain plan to hold a combat meeting? We have to face three major ninja villages."

"You will know when the time comes." After leaving these words, Xiaonan disappeared.

A moment later, Xiao Nan appeared in the tallest tower in Yuyin Village, where the Heretic Demon Statue was placed.

At this time, a wheelchair drove out of the darkness, and the skinny Nagato asked Konan: "How about it, are you going to take my words to that person?"

Xiaonan nodded, and then repeated the previous conversation.

After listening, Nagato showed a pale smile and said: "That person still wants to persuade us to stop. It's the same as Yahiko's at the beginning, but it's just more realistic. But how can you know the results of some things if you don't try them?

Our vision is limited to Yuyin Village, so what’s the difference between us and Hanzo back then?”

When talking about the latter part, Nagato seemed to be talking to himself.

Several years ago, he led four of Pain's Six Paths to Hanzo's mansion, not only to avenge Zeng Xiao's organization, but also to take a look at Hanzo, the Sanshouyu who had forced them into a desperate situation.

It's just that Hanzo no longer had the majesty of a demigod. He was old and wearing pajamas and had been avoiding battle. He still can't forget it.

Hanzo has not lost his fighting ability, and his old body still has considerable strength.

If the ninja who once held the title of demigod grasped the sword tightly, he would also pay the price of several six-path puppets. This is why he went out with almost all his strength.

But when he was disappointed, Hanzo was defeated without Tiandao taking action.

The coward died on the hospital bed, the sharp sickle there became dull, and Hanzo, who lost his enterprising spirit, was no longer the demigod he once was.

He didn't want to become the next Hanzo. God gave him these samsara eyes to change the unfair order.

Why can big countries treat small countries like fish and launch war after war?

Only by creating a powerful weapon that can destroy an entire village in one strike can the great nation's ninja village be wary of starting a new round of war.

If any ninja village dares to stop it, he doesn't mind letting them feel the pain of the small country.

After collecting his thoughts that were gradually diverging, Nagato asked again: "Xonan, how many members of the organization are there so far?"
