Above the clouds, nine behemoths float quietly, like islands in the sky.
A light protective shield wraps them, and they look like huge balloons from the outside.
But in most eyes, they don't exist.
"Haruki."
Hatake Sakumo walked up to Haruki and handed him the scroll.
After the battle with the vanguard of Yunyin Village, their 10,000 ninjas did not go by land and water, but took aerial fortresses and floated in the sky.
Yunyin Village never imagined that they could fly.
The air fortress built by Haruki has never been used except for one appearance in the Fire Country Metropolis.
As a secret among secrets, Yunyin Village naturally does not know about it.
Even during that time in the Fire Country Metropolis, those who had seen the true face were either dead or had their memories modified through Sharingan investigation.
Haruki opened the scroll.
The above content comes into view.
The information comes from Kakashi et al.
He took a quick glance and stopped at the section where the white clone attacked Nohara Lin.
The white clone is the only one in the ninja world.
As expected, it was Bai Jue's disguise technique.
By absorbing other people's chakra, you can change it into exactly the same form.
Even the people closest to you cannot detect it.
At the same time, the scroll also mentioned the current situation of the Akatsuki organization.
Qingshu had made some guesses before, but now that he saw it again, he was basically certain that the leak of his whereabouts was caused by Bai Zetsu.
Apart from Yahiko, Nagato and Konan, only Haku Zetsu can completely grasp the actions of Akatsuki members.
His large number of clones, coupled with his superb transformation and stealth skills, make him the best candidate for intelligence and assassination.
I didn't expect to start so early, and I have a huge appetite. I want to guide Nagato and Obito at once.
Qingshu thought for a moment.
Hanzo in Yuyin Village either cooperates with Bai Zetsu, or is used as a spearman by Bai Zetsu.
The things mentioned in the scroll were Shiro's attack on Nohara Rin and Hanzo's attack on Konan, but in essence, it was Uchiha Madara who did it.
Nohara Rin is the girl that Uchiha Obito likes, and Konan is Nagato's most important friend.
If they die, it will have a huge impact on Obito and Nagato.
And Uchiha Madara can transform into a life mentor and lead them on another path.
But to put it nicely, both Nagato and Obito are actually just tools for his resurrection.
Of course, he was also used as a tool by the superior Black Zetsu.
The so-called murderers will always be killed.
If you want others to treat you as a tool, you may become a tool yourself one day.
In the original work, it was precisely because Konan was captured by Hanzo and Yahiko died that led Nagato to believe Uchiha Madara and Obito's lies and start the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan.
Haruki made preparations for Nohara Rin in advance.
It should be impossible to die.
Only Konan and Yahiko may be in danger.
Bai Zetsu cooperates with Hanzo, and is obviously stronger than the three of them.
After all, Nagato has not yet fully developed his samsara eye.
If Uchiha Madara were to use the Elephant Turn Jutsu again, he would be no match for him.
Do you want to go there yourself?
Haruki raised his eyebrows and suddenly thought of Tsunade.
She was sitting in Konoha and had nothing to do.
And Uchiha Madara, who is 30% stronger, is no match for her.
In addition to wood escape, Tsunade's strength has also made good progress in recent years.
In particular, several special ninja tools were tailor-made for her.
Qingshu couldn't help but smile.
Tsunade has followed Senju Hashirama since she was a child, and she must have met Uchiha Madara.
Take this opportunity to prepare her mentally and kill some time.
Otherwise, most people would really not be able to bear the sudden sight of an ancestor crawling out.
Haruki found paper and pen and wrote a reply to Tsunade, asking her to go to Kumogakure Village.
"The Fourth Raikage has two groups of people looking for traces of us."
Hatake Sakumo continued to report the news, "Khilabi took people to the beach, and Troy is near Chiba Castle."
"It seems they didn't think about the Iron Kingdom."
Haruki smiled. In a sense, neutral countries are very bluffing.
At the same time, his unruliness was unexpected.
"Can the specific locations of these two groups of people be found?"
"Troy can, he brought more than a hundred people, so he can't really hide, but Kirabi has lost track."
"pity."
Haruki originally planned to take advantage of this opportunity to catch the Eight-Tails, but she didn't expect him to be so cautious.
"What about the Fire Nation?"
"Minato followed your instructions and told the news to several generals of the Land of Fire. They did not hesitate too much. The five standing armies plus miscellaneous private armies, totaling 150,000 people, entered the Kingdom of Thunder, and
Quickly occupied several important border towns in the southwest."
"This number of people is beyond my expectation."
Qingshu couldn't help but shake his head. Every famous family in the Fire Country sent a private army.
Although the main force is the five families who control the five armies, the temptation of the daimyo is too strong.
They wanted to fish in troubled waters in case they entered the Fire Country metropolis early.
Even if you can't become a daimyo yourself, you can sell it for a price and directly fall into the arms of the five major families, becoming their army in disguise.
"It seems that the death of the Oda Daimyo made them angry."
Hatake Sakumo didn't know the inside story and thought he wanted to avenge the daimyo.
"What's the reaction of the Kingdom of Thunder?"
"It's already heading to the southwest. According to their speed, it will take a week."
"In a week, the nobles of the Fire Country can continue to penetrate into the Thunder Country."
Qingshu said thoughtfully.
A week is enough time for a lot to happen.
"Minato thought so too, but the remaining nobles united and asked Minato and his Black Armor Army to take the lead."
Hatake Sakumo frowned, he was a little disappointed with the reaction of the nobles.
But he didn't have much hope at first.
He understands the nature of nobles.
His samurai spirit is limited to Konoha and performing missions.
Qingshu was startled for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.
Good guy!
The shamelessness of the nobles is evident.
Everyone wants to retain their own power.
By the time the Kingdom of Thunder reaches the metropolis, there will probably be internal strife.
It is naturally impossible for Qingshu to do this.
Although the Xuanjia Army is powerful, it is not invincible.
Facing more than ten times the number of people, there will definitely be losses.
And they don't get any benefits.
"Ignore it." Qingshu said.
"Um."
Hatake Sakumo nodded and said, "There is also news that the fourth generation Raikage Ai has arrived in the army of the Kingdom of Thunder."
"Huh? If he didn't lead the Kumo ninja army, why did he join the ordinary army?"
Hearing this, Qingshu raised his head in surprise, "Is your information accurate?"
"It's true. The Aburame clan reported that the ANBU sent two teams to monitor them, and there are also photos."
Hatake Sakumo asked someone to take out the photo.
The person inside is none other than the Fourth Raikage Ai.
Qingshu narrowed his eyes slightly.
I didn't expect such a discovery.
This doesn't make sense.
"He's trying to force us to show up."
Qingshu rubbed his temples and said with a smile, "This is indeed a good idea. If they still can't find us, we can help the Kingdom of Thunder win the war and let the nobles of the Kingdom of Fire ask for help from us."
Upon hearing this, Hatake Sakumo immediately asked: "Do we need to do anything? If we don't save the nobles, Konoha will fall into a place of injustice."
"I'll deal with it."
Qingshu looked at the mountain peaks at his feet.
After a day's flight, they had arrived at the Ontake Mountains.
This mountain range runs through the central region of the Kingdom of Thunder, almost equivalent to the Qinling Mountains of the flower growers in the previous life, and stretches for thousands of miles.
Yunyin Village is located on the main peak of the mountain range.
But it's quite far from the current location.
"Your mission is to establish a defensive line in the mountains."
Haruki lowered his eyes slightly, "I remember that you need to pass seven levels to enter the Ontake Mountains."
"Yes. But we have entered the mountains relying on the air fortress."
Hatake Sakumo didn't understand what he meant.
He originally thought that they used the air fortress just to enter the mountains silently and then ambush the large army in Yunyin Village.
After all, heading from Kumogakure to Chiba Castle, you must pass through the Ontake Mountain Range.
"Let the army of the Kingdom of Thunder pass."
Qingshu didn't explain too much and said, "Try not to be exposed until I come back."
Hatake Sakumo hesitated to speak, but still nodded.
The clear trees disappeared.
He couldn't help but sigh at the convenience of Flying Thunder God's technique.
Unfortunately, it is too difficult to learn.
Otherwise, if all ten thousand ninjas learn it, they will be invincible.
Hatake Sakumo returned to the command room and asked Hinata Hiashi to lead people to the mountains to find a suitable base.
Fortunately, the steep peaks and continuous mountain ranges result in a vast land and sparsely populated areas.
It's actually not easy to be discovered.
…
Multimedia classroom at Konoha Daiichi University.
"Shisui!"
Itachi Uchiha ran in from outside the classroom, his face full of excitement.
"What's wrong?"
Uchiha Shisui raised his head and asked.
After the Chunin Exam, he didn't go out to perform tasks, so he came to the multimedia classroom to play some games.
According to the original work, the genin has already graduated.
But now even chuunin cannot graduate.
If you want to graduate early, you must get Haruki's permission.
Shisui did not apply.
Because he knew that he was young and could not be accepted.
Moreover, he has not fully learned a lot of knowledge in the school and does not want to leave for the time being.
"Hey, my mother replied to my letter and agreed for me to join your team."
Uchiha Itachi pointed to "League of Legends" on the computer screen and said.
He has wanted to play games for a long time.
It's not that I'm playful.
It's because Shisui is playing.
But Mikoto had always disagreed, saying she was too young to be stimulated.
Uchiha Itachi couldn't quite understand this sentence.
Shouldn’t playing games be fun?
Why is it still exciting?
Every time he saw Shisui win, he was very happy.
That expression was as if he had learned Fire Escape through hard work.
Shisui twitched the corner of his mouth.
To be honest, he had a psychological shadow on his teammates.
However, with Uchiha Itachi's talent, it shouldn't be too deceiving.
In fact, most of the game masters he knew were from the Hyuga and Uchiha clans.
The reason is simple.
Their eyes play games too easily.
Whether you can become a game master depends on your operations and reactions.
Sharingan and Byakugan are born to deal with these two points.
But unfortunately, none of the teammates assigned to him by Haruki were Hinata and Uchiha.
"Let me tell you something in advance."
Shisui said with a serious face, "According to Teacher Haruki's rules, once you join, you can't give up halfway. We are ninjas and we can't let our emotions control us."
"I see!"
Uchiha Itachi obviously ignored the implication of Shisui's words.
"Okay, let me show you the game today."
Shisui opened the game and asked Uchiha Itachi to register an account.
After adding friends, he initiated a team formation and selected humans and machines.
"This is an all-hero account, which one do you like? Choose whatever you want."
Because Uchiha Itachi was a novice, Shisui explained to him the differences between the upper, middle and lower heroes.
"Which way are you playing?"
"I'm from the middle."
Shisui understood during his short gaming career that his teammates were unreliable.
Only you can save yourself.
The middle lane can be said to have the greatest impact on the game.
"Then I'll try the middle lane too."
Uchiha Itachi nodded.
When he first started playing games, he wanted to try every position.
Let’s start from the middle first.
"Well, you choose a hero in the middle."
Shisui said casually.
He looked at the screen and selected a warrior on the road, Sword Princess.
"Okay, I choose this."
Uchiha Itachi locked onto a very handsome looking samurai.
"..."
Shisui looked silently at Yasuo under the control of Itachi Uchiha.
There is an ominous premonition.
Time passes.
“It’s so cool!”
Uchiha Itachi shouted loudly.
Because he was too excited, his face was slightly red and full of smiles.
However, Shisui couldn't laugh.
Looking at Yasuo's 0-21-0, he feels a little hopeless.
This was the first time he knew how difficult it was to play a personal computer game.
“Come again, come again!”
Itachi Uchiha invited Shisui.
"You already understand the basic operations of the game, and I have nothing to teach you about the rest."
Shisui's expression was slightly solemn, and he said slowly, "You can do a single match yourself."
"Huh?"
Uchiha Itachi scratched his head. He actually wanted to play with Shisui.
Why did it suddenly become a game for myself?
"What are you two doing here?"
Suddenly there was a voice outside the door.
"Hokage-sama!"
Shisui and Uchiha Itachi quickly stood up, saluted and said.
"Don't be so nervous."
Tsunade walked in and saw the computer, "It turned out to be playing games, please take me with you."
"ah?"
Zhisui subconsciously raised his head and asked in surprise.
He didn't expect that Hokage-sama also plays games.
"Come on, come on."
Tsunade turned on the computer next to her, "I used to play with Haruki a lot, and he's a super strong jungler!"
"OK."
Shisui nodded.
He has seen Mr. Haruki's level, he is quite good, and he knows a lot of tactics.
Then Tsunade-sama should also be very powerful, right?
"I play Yasuo!"
Uchiha Itachi locked Yasuo instantly.
"..."
Shisui pondered.
I and Tsunade-sama must be able to take care of a newbie.
When the time comes, the upper and jungle forces will link up and defeat the opponent.
He changed to Raven.
Tsunade chose Wine Barrel as the jungler.
Half an hour later, Shisui resisted the urge to curse.
She is Hokage, she is Hokage, she is Hokage.
Repeated several times in a row.
Shisui's Sharingan slowly stopped rotating.
"I haven't played for a long time, so my skills have declined a bit."
Tsunade looked at the miserable results, then at Uchiha Itachi's Yasuo, and breathed a sigh of relief, at least she was not the worst.
"..."
Zhishui was speechless.
He suddenly understood how Teacher Haruki's tactics were developed?
If you want to win with Tsunade, you really can only think of a way from the tactical level.
"One more!"
Tsunade clapped her hands and said confidently, "I promise not to cheat this time."
But her wish did not come true.
ANBU ninjas appeared and brought her a message.
After reading it, Tsunade had no choice but to give up and rush to the Land of Rain.
