Chapter 319: Prelude to the War - Terrible Man
The sun was shining. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If you look down from the clouds through the projection of sunlight, you will see a clear dividing line on the ground in its natural form.
This is the dividing line between the land of fire and the land of earth.
On one side is a lush forest, where many wild animals and birds hide, a scene of life.
On the other side is a desolate and silent land, desolate and uninhabited, and from time to time there is a bleak cold wind, as if the dead souls are wailing, looking lonely and lonely.
Over time, the ninja forces of Iwa Shinobi and Sand Shinobi have gradually formed a combined force against Konoha .
Both sides are running in with each other, but because Iwa Shinobi and Sand Ninja had an alliance before, the ninjas on both sides get along quite well.
At this time, the troops of the two were scattered near the junction of the land of fire and the country of earth.
This is also the battlefield commanded by Aizen during the Second Shinobi War.
At that time, Aizen blocked the terrifying ninjutsu released by the combined efforts of many rock ninjas in one fell swoop, not only successfully won valuable evacuation time for Konoha , but also deeply shocked the more than 1,000 rock ninjas at that time.
So for the Iwa ninja, this location has a deep impression that they can't eliminate.
At this time, in the territory of the land of the land at this junction, within one of the mountain rocks, there is a hidden stronghold of the rock ninja.
A ninja team of dozens of people is here, observing the distant territory of the Fire Country, guarding against the wind and grass on the Konoha side.
"Lord Nan Lihu, while this time is still quite free, tell us about the battle situation at that time. β
At this time, several young newcomers in the stronghold had excited looks on their faces, and said to a middle-aged Iwa Shinobi with anticipation.
Hearing their words, the middle-aged Iwa Shinobi glanced at them and said in a deep voice.
"Be vigilant, if you accidentally miss what happened over there at this time, the punishment in the village is not something you can bear. β
Hearing the words of the middle-aged Iwa Shinobi, a group of slightly green faces suddenly flashed with a trace of worry, but one of them was bold and grinned.
"You can rest assured, Lord Nan Lihu, I will keep a close eye on the situation over there. β
"Tell us about the scene, and let's be mentally prepared for future battles!"
Hearing the ninja's words, everyone on the side also responded.
In this regard, the middle-aged Yan Shinobi, who was known as Lord Nan Lihu, glanced at them helplessly, his eyes flashed with a complex look of memory and fear mixed with each other, and said slowly in a deep voice.
"You all know that this war was jointly led by Lord Tsuchikage-sama and the Kazekage of Sand Ninja Village. β
Hearing him begin to speak, the young Iwa Shinobi nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice, and listened carefully.
Nan Lihu continued.
"Actually, you should be considered lucky boys, and this battle may not be so cruel to you. β
As soon as his words came out, everyone was very puzzled, and after glancing at the puzzled expressions on their faces, Nan Lihu's eyes lowered slightly, and explained.
"Because Konoha at this time has already lost that man. β
Hearing his words, everyone was stunned, and a younger female Iwa Shinobi wondered.
"Is that man!?Is it 'Konoha White Fang', I talked to the ninjas on the Sand Ninja side before, and I heard that they seem to be glad that the 'Konoha White Fang' has retired. β
Hearing her words, the Iwa ninja companions on the side all showed a look of sudden realization.
Seeing this, Nan Lihu couldn't help but give each of them a brain, and when everyone covered their heads in pain, he said in a deep voice angrily.
"Of course it's not the 'Konoha White Fang' you call it!"
"Although I've heard of that guy's name, but after all, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, besides, that guy is on the battlefield of the Sand Ninja, not on the battlefield of our Iwa Ninja, maybe it's because of the lack of strength on the Sand Ninja side that the strength of the opponent is so trumpeted. β
Hearing his words, everyone also felt that it was not unreasonable, and then, the female Iwa Shinobu who had spoken before hurriedly asked curiously.
"Then Lord Nan Lihu, who is the man you are talking about in Konoha?"
Nan Lihu glanced at the curious young Yan Ren present, and couldn't help but cover his head weakly, without a good airway.
"Are you young imps all playing in the ninja school!? You don't even know any information about the enemy ninja village!?"
Hearing his words, a young Iwa shinobi below suddenly looked stunned and immediately said in a loud voice.
"Are you talking about 'Konoha no Konosuke' Soyousuke!?"
Hearing his words, some Yan Ren showed a stunned look, obviously not knowing who this person was, while others suddenly realized, secretly sure that Lord Nan Lihu should be referring to this person.
However, Nan Lihu, as the captain, caught a glimpse of the indifferent appearance of this group of young ninjas, and couldn't help but look gloomy and said in a deep voice.
"Don't look like you don't care!!"
"You little devils don't know how terrifying that man is, if that guy is still in Konoha, Tsuchikage-sama won't start this war anyway!"
"So, you should be glad that there is no such thing as a desperate presence among the enemies you are about to face!"
Hearing that Nan Lihu's face was gloomy and he looked extremely angry, the Yan Ren present all looked ashamed.
At the same time, I can't help but wonder what the man named Soyousuke did, why did Nan Lihu-sama actually say that if that guy was here, Tsuchikage-sama might not have started a war!?
Is there really such a person who influences the decision of a hostile ninja village just by virtue of one person's prestige?
At this time, although the female Yan Ren who spoke before was also a little afraid of Nan Lihu's gloomy face, she still cautiously asked.
"That.... Nan Lihu-sama, we want to know what that man did to make the village and even Tsuchikage-sama so jealous. β
Hearing her question, Nan Lihu's gloomy face eased slightly, but his eyes seemed to have seen that shocking scene again, and his voice was complicated and slow.
"That man.... With the strength of one person, he resisted the attack of nearly a thousand rock ninjas......"
As soon as his words came out, the young Iwa Shinobi present couldn't help but be stunned for a while, as if his brain was thinking about what the attack of nearly a thousand ninjas would be.
After a while, they all reacted and couldn't help but tremble.
"No... It can't be...."
"Lord Nan Lihu.... You.. Could it be that you are mistaken...."
"How is it possible that someone can resist the simultaneous attack of more than a thousand ninjas.... Even Tsuchikage-sama wouldn't be able to do this..."
Nan Lihu listened to the discussions of the young Yan Ren below, but he was slightly silent.
Because even he couldn't believe that someone could do that and fight the power of a thousand people with the power of one person, that is beyond the concept of ninja....
Even he thinks that even Tsuchikage-sama can't do this.... Because Tsuchikage-sama is still a ninja...
However, after a moment of silence, he still had the idea of warning this group of young Iwa Shinobi, and said in a deep voice.
"Don't question what I'm saying, the man named 'Soyousuke' is indeed so powerful, because, in that battle, he successfully delayed Konoha for time and resisted our invasion, and it happened that Yun Ninja Village attacked our village that the invasion of Konoha was forced to be canceled. β
"And then later... That man defected from Konoha Village as the fourth Hokage.... However, I know from some of my companions that the reason why Iwashinobi's previous plan to capture Konoha failed was because of him....."
With Nan Lihu's eloquent voice, at this time, below him.
The young Iwa Shinobi had been shocked by the news one by one.
Defend against a thousand ninjas with the power of one man...
Successfully blocked the invasion plan of Iwa Ninja Village many times....
And it turned out to be a defection from his village as the fourth Hokage....
What kind of terrible man is that man.......
