Chapter 197: Prince and General, I would rather have a seed
Namikaze Minato was silent.
The Fourth Raikage Ai could only wait for his answer.
The only martial arts in the world that is fast is unbreakable.
He has the fastest speed and the most destructive lightning escape.
Logically speaking, there are not many ninjas who are his opponents, and they are not even qualified to keep up with him.
But Minato happens to be one of them.
He had learned the Flying Thunder God Technique during the last ninja war.
It will only be stronger now than before.
If it were any other ninja, Ai would not choose to change the prisoners in humiliation, but would kill them with his extremely fast speed.
Ai frowned, wondering what Minato was thinking about.
But now the advantage was not with him, and he didn't push it.
His eyes jumped across the water gate and looked at the cavalry behind him.
Kyuubi's chakra.
Ai was stunned for a moment.
He had previously thought that the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki was present in person, but the situation far exceeded his expectations.
But he knew Kirabi.
As a perfect Jinchuuriki, Kirabi can distribute the eight-tails chakra to others.
Ai couldn't help but said: "This is a war between the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Fire. Did you break the rules by leading a thousand ninjas to get involved?"
Minato was slightly startled when he heard this.
Ninja?
Yes, it is indeed understandable for Ai to think that Xuan Jiajun is a ninja.
But he didn't explain.
The deeper the Xuanjia Army is hidden, the better.
Minato shook his head calmly and said: "Raikage, you appeared on the battlefield first, so why do you need the evildoer to complain first?"
Ai's face suddenly darkened.
He had forgotten about this.
Everyone breaks the rules.
Although Watergate brings more people, it is meaningless to say this.
"Have you thought about it?"
Ai raised his head and asked coldly, "Don't you care about the death of these nobles?"
Minato really wanted to say I don't care.
He glanced at a group of trembling nobles and said, "I'm not the person in charge here, so I need to wait."
"What's the meaning?"
Ai felt nervous and asked, "You have a ninja with a higher position than you in Konoha? Who? Hatake Sakumo? Orochimaru? Tsunade?"
He didn't know that Haruki led the team to wipe out his 2,000 vanguard troops.
In addition, Haruki was a medical ninja, so he subconsciously ignored it.
"He is my teacher."
"Qingshu?" Ai was surprised and confused, "Why Qingshu?"
"Why can't it be a teacher?"
Minato looked at Ai with a trace of pity in his heart.
I was really deceived by Haruki-sensei.
Ai thought about it and realized that Haruki, as the Hokage's assistant, is indeed qualified to serve as Konoha's commander.
"What about others?"
He looked around and saw no sign of Haruki. Thinking of his status as a medical ninja, he couldn't help but mocked, "What? Are you hiding in the back and afraid to come out?"
Minato was not angry, he said calmly: "Raikage, since as a loser you have to look like a loser, it will not do you any good if you anger me."
"you!"
Ai's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth.
He had never suffered such humiliation.
But since the Chunin Exams, he has failed one after another and has completely fallen into the rhythm of Konoha, being beaten while hanging.
Ai fell silent.
But he didn't wait too long, Qingshu slowly walked out of the Fire Nation's army on horseback.
At this time, Ai noticed a big problem.
The 150,000-strong army that was supposed to be leaderless was now without a trace of chaos.
Instead, the troops of the Kingdom of Thunder stood there one by one, not knowing how to react.
If they weren't afraid that the Fire Country's army would take advantage of the chaos and massacre, they would have fled madly and been defeated.
"What did you do?"
Ai Wang looked at Qingshu with a look of disbelief.
He controlled an army of 150,000 in just a few minutes. Was he under an illusion, or was Haruki a god?
"Do you think I would tell you?"
Haruki dismounted, walked to Minato's side, and glanced at the generals of the Land of Thunder behind him.
He suddenly said "Oh" and recognized a very interesting person.
The eldest son of the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder, Matsuda Hiroki.
An unexpectedly big fish.
However, he did not specifically pick them out. He turned around, looked at Ai, and asked, "How do you want to exchange prisoners?"
Ai suppressed his anger and said: "It's very simple, one life for one."
Qingshu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "But you have thirty more people, what are you going to do?"
"Thirty more people will allow us to leave safely, and you will withdraw your troops."
Ai had obviously thought about the conditions a long time ago. When he heard Qingshu's question, he gave the answer without any hesitation.
Haruki picked up the katana on horseback, took it out of its sheath, and shook it.
"I cannot accept your conditions."
Ai's face condensed and he asked: "Then what are your conditions?"
"Exchange all your prisoners for all my prisoners, and the army will continue to fight."
Qingshu blew on the blade and said softly.
"This is impossible!"
Ai refused immediately without thinking for a second.
Qingshu calmed down the 150,000 troops in some unknown way. After the exchange, the fight started immediately. Wouldn't it be inevitable to lose?
"oh?"
Qingshu smiled and said, "Since you don't agree with this condition, there is a second condition. Do you want to listen to it?"
"What conditions?"
"Keep all these prisoners. I will let you and the 150,000 troops of the Kingdom of Thunder leave, giving you another chance to come back."
"impossible!"
Ai once again didn't want to refuse.
If this was the case, wouldn't the nobles he worked so hard to capture be wasted?
"This won't work, that won't work either. Raikage, you have to understand the current situation. Are you not qualified to talk to me based on your strength?"
Qingshu sighed and raised the knife.
The three generals closest to him fell to the ground.
Ai was stunned for a moment.
After a moment, he said angrily: "Qingshu, do you know what you are doing?!"
"No need to shout so loudly?"
Haruki poked his ears with his left hand and had to admit that Raikage's voice was really loud.
"Can't you see what I'm doing? My patience is limited. You have no choice. Leave the nobles behind and leave with the 150,000 troops."
Ai was so angry that his body was shaking, and he asked: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill them?"
Qingshu said nothing, raised his hand, and motioned for him to take action.
The silent qualification made Ai's anger rise again.
He punched out, and the head of the nearest noble exploded.
The scene was very bloody for a while.
The timid noble screamed.
"Shut up!"
Ai's voice sounded like thunder, and he glared at Qingshu with fierce eyes and said, "What now?"
Qingshu resisted the urge to laugh out loud and killed two more casually.
"You are so fucking crazy!!"
Ai was completely angry.
But before he could vent, he heard Hiroshi Miyagi say coldly from behind Haruki:
"Raikage, leave with the army. Don't you see? The nature of this guy. If we continue to struggle with him, none of us will have a chance to survive. Inform the daimyo and he will arrange to save us."
"Okay! Very good! Qingshu, I remember you!"
Ai dropped a harsh word and disappeared from the spot.
"It's just the cry of the defeated."
Qingshu shook his head.
Raikage left on his own, ignoring the 150,000 troops.
But he did not break his promise and let them escape.
Half an hour later.
"Teacher, why?" Minato couldn't quite understand what Haruki was doing.
"What do you think will happen to this 150,000-strong army after they lose their commander?"
"It will probably be very chaotic." Minato said thoughtfully, "The Raikage is an outsider and cannot control the army at all. They will rely on their escape instinct and head back to the original route."
"That's right." Qingshu nodded, "They will run for their lives like lost dogs."
"Although they temporarily lost their combat effectiveness, they will soon recover after the daimyo takes charge."
Minato understood a little, but still had doubts, "We should be able to occupy all the land south of the Ontake Mountains during this period, but it will be difficult to go further north. After all, the mountains are rugged and there are many checkpoints that are easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"Minato, who said I would let them go back with peace of mind?"
Haruki patted him on the shoulder and asked with a smile, "Giving you an army of 160,000, can you drive them away, disrupt the defense of the Kingdom of Thunder, and invade the metropolis?"
Minato froze on the spot.
He completely understood what Qingshu was doing.
But precisely because of his understanding, his admiration for Haruki reached its peak.
Although the strategy is vicious, it is very effective.
If the army of the Kingdom of Thunder wants to go back, it must pass through various checkpoints.
And the army he led followed them, and when the door was opened, they entered it.
In addition, Haruki's strategy to control the Fire Nation's 150,000-strong army can also be called a prophetic plan.
The Xuanjia Army was once disrupted and served as the instructor of the newly formed five major armies.
In a situation where the group of dragons has no leader, the Xuanjia Army is the fulcrum that connects them one by one.
These soldiers knew their instructors, and since there was no one to direct them, they naturally followed orders.
Coupled with Haruki's current operation, Minato already had a premonition of what was about to happen.
However, he thought of Raikage and asked: "What should we do if Yunyin Village causes trouble?"
"No, he doesn't have time to cause trouble."
Qingshu chuckled and said, "He will come to save people."
"I see."
Minato took a deep breath and said, "I will definitely complete the mission!"
Qingshu raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the remaining 150,000 troops.
Just having instructors from the Xuanjia Army is not enough.
He raised his sword.
Under everyone's shocked eyes, he killed the nobles of the Fire Country present.
"Are you crazy?"
Even Hiroshi Miyagi, who had been calm just now, couldn't understand Haruki's current behavior.
We have already won a great victory, why do we still want to rebel?
He suddenly became worried about his own fate.
Qingshu ignored him, and Feng Dun drove herself into the air, looking at all the soldiers.
He raised his hand, and the nobles who had just died floated up.
"Good afternoon, everyone." Qingshu greeted with a smile, "You may not know me, but that doesn't matter, you just need to remember what I say next."
"More than half of the nobles in the Land of Fire died in this war. I think everyone should know these famous nobles."
"Their death means that there is a vacancy for the rulers of this country. According to past practice, their descendants will succeed, but I don't think so."
"Why should they?!"
Qingshu suddenly raised his voice, and with the spread of chakra, the 150,000-strong army could hear clearly.
"Just because of the glory of their ancestors, should they always ride on our heads?"
"What are we going through life and death here for? Is it to strengthen the rule of their nobles?"
"No, it shouldn't be like this. We should do it so that we can go home and live a better life."
"Now an unprecedented opportunity is before our eyes. The nobles have suffered a fatal blow. We can completely overthrow them and build a new world for our common people."
"You should have seen your Xuanjia Army instructors. They will record your achievements in this war, and these will determine what official position and status you can be promoted to."
"Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed!"
Qingshu shouted loudly, "Pick up your sword and fight for your tomorrow and a new future!"
After a few seconds of silence, the 150,000-strong army broke out into unimaginable chants.
The momentum is overwhelming.
Wave after wave of sound waves shook the earth.
Miyagi Hiroshi and others gathered in the center were all stunned, their hands and feet were cold.
He murmured to himself: "The sky is going to change..."
