Old Friend

The ground shook, and even the Ziyuan City Military District, which was more than ten kilometers away, felt the abnormal vibrations on the ground.

Although this kind of vibration is very small, it is blocked by the shock-absorbing device under the military area. Ordinary people can't feel anything, but as a ninja, they can clearly feel the slight changes in the ground under their feet.

And such changes are nothing more than the impact of the battle brought by the two most powerful men.

Any ninja who has witnessed a big scene will have a deep understanding of how devastating the aftermath of a battle between two powerful ninjas can be.

And there are several such ninjas in the Demon Country's military.

"Why don't you go and see it for yourself? This is a rare opportunity."

Standing on the rooftop of a building, Shiraishi looked towards the battlefield and heard a voice coming from behind him.

The footsteps also approached.

It was Uchiha Sasuke. With the help of perception ninjutsu, Shiraishi knew that it was him who came to find him even if he didn't look back.

Compared with before, the other party's aura seems to have become calmer.

It seems that not only has his strength improved in recent times, but his personality has also become much more stable.

This is somewhat of a good thing.

Regarding Sasuke who came to him and asked this question, Shiraishi just said with an indifferent attitude: "What's so interesting about the battle between two women? If you want to know what power they gained after waking up,

Just ask them to write a simple report later."

After all, he didn't want to go see such a terrifying thing in person.

To avoid falling into any troublesome vortex storm later.

Even though he really wanted to see how much the strength of Liuli and Ayane had improved compared to before.

And such an improvement cannot be concretely realized by relying on the intensity of induced chakra.

But Shiraishi didn't want to take risks himself.

"You seem to be afraid of both of them."

Sasuke said strangely.

Although Shiraishi hid it well, Sasuke still felt it.

"It's not scary on its own. But when two people collide together, it becomes very scary."

Shiraishi lowered his voice slightly and spoke to Sasuke in the tone of someone who had experienced it.

Sometimes, triangles are not the most stable.

"Yeah?"

Sasuke felt that he would never be able to understand such distress in his life.

Therefore, it was inconvenient for him to express any opinion.

"To be honest, I have met ninjas from many countries, but the military power of the Kingdom of Oni is unique. With the military power of the Kingdom of Oni, it has already had the strength to dominate the ninja world."

Sasuke expressed his doubts.

"The Kingdom of Ghosts does have an advantage in this regard, but such an advantage is not enough to form a situation of horizontal push. Moreover, no matter how great a company is, it cannot casually adopt tactics of injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging itself by eight hundred. The Kingdom of Ghosts

The country cannot afford it. Ninjas are not only a symbol of military strength, but they are also the basis for maintaining stability. On the premise of reducing our own casualties, it is most beneficial to the country of ghosts to consume the enemy's vitality as much as possible."

Shiraishi has always adopted this tactic.

He doesn't care about the loss or gain of a city or a place. He hopes to establish his own advantage by weakening the enemy's effective strength.

Although it is said that people lose land and people gain land, but if the living force that can fight is exhausted, no matter how much land there is, it will not help.

Annihilating only living forces is the strategic basis Shiraishi has set for the Kingdom of Demons.

Talent is the greatest resource.

In Shiraishi's view, every death of a living person is a great loss.

Sasuke nodded. He also understood the basic strategy set by the Kingdom of Demons. Every battle was focused on annihilating the enemy, and occupying territory was the logical outcome.

Only through the ebb and flow of one thing can the Kingdom of Ghosts keep its own power intact and steadily improve during several battles.

If the Fourth Ninja War had not repeatedly weakened the power of the five major nations, the alliance of the five major nations could now produce more than 120,000 ninjas.

Maybe we can add another 20,000 to 30,000 ninjas.

And the 20,000 to 30,000 ninjas can also produce considerable deterrence in this ninja world war.

"The things here have been done, and I will return to the border patrol force. Are there any new instructions?"

Sasuke asked.

The main purpose of his transfer back from the front line this time was to assist in research. Now that Liuli's Eternal Eye project has been completed, there is no need for him to stay here any longer.

Compared to the stable rear, the front line where fighting could happen at any time was more suitable for his inner thoughts.

"If the information from the Intelligence Department is accurate, the Alliance Army has invested a total of 25,000 ninjas in the Earth Kingdom war zone. By then, it will be a good training target for you."

Shiraishi said with a smile.

Twenty-five thousand ninjas, Sasuke took a slight breath when he heard this number.

Even though he possesses the power of the Eternal Kaleidoscope, facing this number of ninjas, he still feels a little heavy in his heart.

Not out of fear, but...do you want to kill so many people?

Wreaking havoc in Konoha was a choice he made out of pain, anger, and loss of reason.

Can you do this while maintaining your sanity?

Facing Shiraishi's teasing, Sasuke fell into a brief silence.

"Are you timid?"

"One thing I don't know if I can do it is more than 20,000 lives."

Sasuke said solemnly.

"This is war. I won't say this is a necessary sacrifice. The so-called sacrifice is unnecessary and unnecessary... Struggle to survive is the truest portrayal of everyone. War is written with blood.

Epic. If you don't want it, I can arrange an easier task for you and transfer you to the rear command post."

Shiraishi said lightly.

"No, I want to see the war that Itachi talked about. I want to see with my own eyes what war and peace are. You also said that practice is the most important thing. Staying at the rear, I will never understand.

What is truth."

Sasuke denied without hesitation.

Although I felt extremely hesitant in my heart, I did not lose my fighting spirit to face the tragic life.

"Besides, there is one more thing I want to ask you for confirmation, but I never had the chance to say it that day."

Sasuke paused, seeming hesitant.

"What's up?"

"Indra... do you know this person? I remember you mentioned this person when you came to me on the day I killed Orochimaru."

Sasuke looked directly at Shiraishi's profile.

Shiraishi was slightly startled and turned his head to look at Sasuke.

"Have you... seen him?"

"About a few days before returning."

"Really? Have you accepted what he left for you?"

Shiraishi asked.

"No, I didn't think he was a good person, so I refused."

Sasuke is wary of Indra

Shiraishi nodded lightly, expressing his understanding.

"He won't hurt you. Although from my position, I can't interfere with this kind of thing, he is just feeling guilty and wants to make some compensation to you. However, the specific choice is your business."

"I understand, let's talk about it then. And he is the one who can deal with Orochimaru for me."

Sasuke did not respond directly to this question.

"Okay, I have no more questions, so I'll take my leave and say hello to the clan leader for me."

After that, Sasuke formed a seal with one hand, and his body disappeared in a burst of smoke. The one who came to say goodbye to Shiraishi was just his shadow clone.

Shiraishi looked at the position where Sasuke left, glanced at the battlefield in the distance, then turned and left, heading towards the research institute below.

…

"Lord Shiraishi."

The developers in white coats welcomed Shiraishi's arrival with a slight bow.
