As Naito and Hatake Sakumo joined forces in pursuit, the Iwa ninja suffered heavy casualties.
Although Tsuchikage Onoki was also trying his best to delay the advance of the Konoha ninjas, and his Dust Release was extremely lethal, with Naito and Hatake Sakumo around, it was difficult for him to block Konoha's ninja troops.
This battle can lay the foundation for Konoha's victory. Even though there are more ninjas on standby in Iwagakure Village, they cannot easily dispatch them, otherwise they will be doomed if they are attacked by Kumogakure Village.
You know, the defeat of Tsuchikage Ohnoki was a huge blow to the morale of Iwagakure Village. Moreover, even Tsuchikage's assistant Ohno Kazu died on the battlefield!
It can be said that Iwagakure Village has almost lost the qualification to continue to compete in World War II.
In this Rain Kingdom battlefield, only Konoha, Sunagakure Village and Aegakure Village are left.
…
The land of fire, Konoha.
At the entrance of the village, a group of ninjas are gathering here. Among them are more than ten elite ANBU ninjas, at least captain-level figures, and more than ten jounin.
As for the chuunin and genin, there is no such thing, because this is an emergency support, and it is difficult for the chunin and genin to keep up with these elite Anbu and jounin, so it will be a burden, so they are not in the same queue as the jounin troops.
The leader of such a luxurious formation is undoubtedly the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen!
"Hokage-sama, let's go quickly!"
Next to Sarutobi Hiruzen was a jounin, and it turned out to be Matt Dai.
During this year's war, Matt Dai has been promoted from a special jounin to a formal jounin, and is almost qualified to become an elite jounin.
Hearing that Tsuchikage Onoki appeared on the front line and seemed to be heading towards Naito, Matt Dai felt a little anxious.
Matt Dai's situation in the village is similar to that of Yu Ye. He basically doesn't have many friends. He only has Yu Ye, and he can be regarded as both a teacher and a friend.
Because of his guidance and confusion, as well as Yu Ye's detailed consideration, the True Eight Gates Dunjia was created, and Konoha Shura, who is now famous in the ninja world, was born.
At this time, Akai was already born.
The only person that Matt Dai cares about most, besides his wife and his son Metkai, is Yu Ye.
"Dai, it's useless to be anxious. If we rush over now, we can only clean up the mess."
The Third Hokage spoke calmly, but a hint of coldness and anger could be seen in his eyes.
Tsuchikage Onoki didn't care about his identity and suddenly appeared on the battlefield like this, so you can't blame him for being ruthless next time!
One-on-one, Konoha is definitely the strongest among the five great ninja villages. If Sarutobi Hiruzen hadn't been guarding Kirigakure and Kumogakure, Konoha would have attacked with all its strength even if Iwagakure and Sunagakure had joined forces.
It can also be defeated forcefully.
This is the strength of Konoha Hidden Village, the largest ninja village in the ninja world!
"Damn...the bastard of Iwagakure."
Matt Dai gritted his teeth, with anger on his face, and sighed after a long time, saying: "Naito is very good at speed. Even if he is defeated, he may be able to escape."
Matt Dai himself was not confident in saying this. Naito's speed was very fast, but the person he was facing was a Kage after all, the Tsuchikage who stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world!
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned when he heard Matt Dai's words. If he was really defeated, the Konoha ninjas on the frontline battlefield might have been almost wiped out by now.
The most important thing is whether Hatake Sakumo can survive.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sarutobi Hiruzen really didn't expect that Tsuchikage Onoki would be so decisive in sending the Iwa nin again to enter the battlefield of the Land of Rain under such circumstances, and even go into battle himself.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is leading a group of Konoha's elite ninjas, preparing to rush to the front line quickly. At the same time, he has summoned more Konoha chuunin and genin troops to follow him, preparing to quickly stabilize and regain control of the battlefield situation after the tragic defeat.
And just when everyone stepped out of the gate of Konoha, they suddenly received urgent information from the frontline battlefield.
Whoosh!!
A ninja delivering information landed in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi at the front of the team, knelt down on one knee, and spoke quickly.
"Lord Hokage, urgent report from the front!"
"."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice, ready to accept any bad ending.
"The commander-in-chief of the front line, Lord Sakumo Hatake, joined forces with the Yuya Jounin to defeat the Tsuchikage Two Scales Onoki of Iwagakure Village. He killed the Tsuchikage to assist Ohnowa and the Iwa Ninjas were defeated!"
"During the pursuit, more than half of the Iwa ninjas were killed or injured, and the ninjas who escaped were all wounded. It is expected that not many of them will be able to return to the Land of Earth alive."
These two extremely short sentences made the entire atmosphere freeze for a moment.
The scene fell into an eerie silence.
"You...what?!"
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little out of sorts at this time, looking at the ninja in front of him in disbelief.
As for the other Jonin and ANBU ninjas, they all looked at each other with blank faces, and even thought they were dreaming.
What did they just hear?!
…
Konoha's underground.
Danzo has not returned to the frontline battlefield of Rain Country. If he is here, maybe even if he encounters Tsuchikage Onoki, the situation will not be too bad. Danzo and Hatake Sakumo should be able to block Onoki more reliably.
Even though it is difficult to defeat Onoki, it is still possible to hold him back.
Danzo's strength is also at the Kage level, and it's a very special kind, possessing a bunch of forbidden and secret techniques.
In the original work, Danzo only revealed the seals of Izanagi and the Four Sacred Elements, but in fact the forbidden arts and secrets Danzo mastered were far more than those. It was just that Danzo could only use those two at that time.
Time allowed him to use the forbidden techniques one by one.
With a guy like Danzo, even if a peak Kage level powerhouse doesn't pay attention, he might be tricked by him.
And Hiruzen Sarutobi, who could stand on top of Danzo and hold him down until his death, was naturally worthy of the title of Shinobi.
"Has the Hokage set off?"
Danzo spoke calmly into the darkness in front of him, as if talking to himself.
Whoosh!
The smoke flashed, and a root ninja appeared in front of Danzo, knelt on one knee and said: "Back to Danzo-sama, the Hokage has already set off."
"Um."
Danzo nodded, while a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Since Sarutobi Hiruzen is going straight to the battlefield, he, the Hokage's assistant, must stay in Konoha to control the situation.
On the surface, Tsuchikage Onoki's attack on the Rain Kingdom battlefield seems to be an extremely detrimental thing to Konoha.
But for Danzo personally, it is an opportunity.
"After losing Hatake Sakumo and Naito, although it will take a lot of effort to conquer the ninja world again, Sarutobi's left and right arms were cut off... but it is also a good thing."
After murmuring, Danzo's eyes flashed with a cold light.
His goal is still the position of Hokage!
From the original work, Pain's Six Paths attacked Konoha and nearly destroyed the entire Konoha. Even Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, encountered a crisis, and Danzo could not bear to take action to see it.
For Danzo, there are only two labels for anyone in his eyes, expendable or non-expendable.
"This time, maybe I will have a chance...if I become Hokage..."
Danzo's eyes were illusive, as if he saw him becoming Hokage, conquering the ninja world step by step, allowing Konoha to completely rule the world and reach its peak.
But at the next moment, the root ninja in front of him suddenly looked stunned, as if he had received some unbelievable news, and couldn't help but speak to interrupt Danzo's fantasy.
"Lord Danzo, urgent report from the front."
"speak."
Danzo came back to his senses, picked up a cup of tea on the table, and took a sip.
It must be intelligence from the front line. I don’t know which one of Naito and Hatake Sakumo died, or whether both of them died...
"Jounin Naito joined forces with frontline commander Sakumo Hatake to defeat Tsuchikage Ohnoki, killed Tsuchikage's assistant Ohnowa, and led the Konoha ninja to completely defeat the Iwa ninja!"
Snapped!!
A crisp sound echoed in the ground. It was the sound of the tea cup in Danzo's hand falling to the ground and breaking into countless pieces. The hot water wetted Danzo's clothes, but he didn't even notice. (To be continued.)
