Chapter 170: The Ghost Lantern Clan
"None of the five dragons survived, and all of them died."
In front of the pile of rubble, Tao Dibai didn't dare to wipe the sweat oozing from his forehead, and said to the ghost lantern Long Wu in front of him tremblingly.
It's really the murderous aura emanating from the ghost lantern dragon five's body is too terrifying.
"Cause of death~!" Ghost Lantern Dragon Five said coldly, with a bone-chilling chill in his voice.
After receiving the information from Oda Kiri, Ghost Lantern Ryugo rushed to the country of Vortex with his subordinates non-stop, thinking that things would go as smoothly as Ito Baichuan said.
But he was greeted by a temporary base razed to the ground.
If it weren't for the strong smell of blood in the air, as well as the traces of the battle at the scene, Ghost Lantern Ryugo would even wonder if he had come to the wrong place.
When he came to this place, Ghost Lantern Long Wu already had an ominous premonition, but he was still lucky.
After all, the team led by Oda Kiri is not weak at all, and there are military advisors like Ito Hyakukawa among them.
Even if the Uzumaki Clan discovers this base, with their strength, even if they are defeated, they should be able to retreat in time.
But the fact is that they were all wiped out, and none of them survived, how can this not make Ghost Lantern Long Wu angry.
You must know that for this rescue operation, Wuyin Village has paid a lot.
But now not only did the plan not succeed, but so many people died, and Ghost Lantern Ryugo didn't even know how to explain it after he went back.
"At present, it is speculated that the enemy used a large number of detonation charms to blow up the mountain, and then used the earth escape to bury all the people alive." Tao Dibai said nervously.
The traces of the detonation charm can be easily investigated at the scene, and as for Tu Dun, it is Taodibai's own conjecture.
After all, judging from the degree of depression and cracking of the ground at the scene, it is obvious that this can only be caused by the severe smashing of heavy objects.
But is there really a heavy object that can cause such destructive power?
The answer is yes, and that's the tailed beast.
But in order to deal with Oda Kiri and the others, it is obviously impossible to use tailed beasts.
First of all, there is no Tailed Beast in the Vortex Country, but Konoha does, and it is the strongest nine-tailed of the Tailed Beasts.
Although the Nine-Tails Pillar Force is a Vortex clan, she is the wife of the original Hokage after all, and with such an identity, even if she wants to come to support the Vortex Country, she must be willing to do it by the high-level of Konoha.
So after thinking about it, Taodi Baidu felt that Tu Dun was the most likely.
But there is one thing that Taodibai is full of doubts.
"Is there anything else you have discovered?"
From the change in Taodibai's expression, Ghost Lantern Long Wu could see that his previous words were reserved.
"There are some things I don't know whether to say or not." Taodibai looked a little tangled.
"Say." A deep voice came from the mouth of the ghost lantern dragon five.
"According to the on-site investigation, the detonation charm seems to have exploded from inside the base area, so..." Tao Dibai did not continue to say the following words.
"You mean there's a ghost in Oda Kiri's team?" A cold glow erupted from Ghost Lantern Long Wu's eyes.
"I... I'm just guessing. Swallowing his saliva hard, Tao Dibai said nervously.
"Don't talk nonsense about unfounded things, even if they're dead." Glancing at Tao Dibai faintly, Ghost Lantern Long Wu said slowly.
Compared with the inner ghosts, the ghost lantern dragon five believes that the enemy has sneaked into the base area.
"Then the five dragons, what should we do next!" After nodding slightly, Taodibai no longer dwelled on this matter, focusing on the next plan.
Now not only have Oda Kiri and the others all died, but even the hostages have been rescued, and it is clear that the original negotiation plan is no longer feasible, so the next step is to continue to consume or retreat from the country of the vortex!
"What to do, of course, continue with the previous plan. Taodibai, you lead people to attack and kill the surrounding areas of the Vortex Country, don't let go of a village, but don't kill people, I want to live. Ghost Lantern Long Wu said coldly.
It was impossible for him to retreat to the village in such a gloomy manner.
Then there is only one way, and that is to capture the ordinary villagers of the Vortex Country as bargaining chips.
If one doesn't work, then catch a few more, he doesn't believe that the country of vortex is uncompromising.
"Five Dragons, are you sure you want to do this?"
After hearing the words of the ghost lantern dragon five, Tao Dibai showed a look of horror.
You must know that there is an unwritten unspoken rule in the ninja world, that is, the war between ninjas cannot involve ordinary people.
Although Oda Kiri and others had also carried out burning, killing and looting before, as long as no evidence was caught, it had nothing to do with Wuyin Village.
And the Ghost Lantern Dragon Five is now obviously going to use the lives of ordinary people to negotiate with the Vortex Country, which is ironclad to reveal his identity.
Once this kind of thing spreads, the Fog Hidden Village will 100% become the target of public criticism.
At that time, there may be no place for the entire ninja world to have a foothold in the Fog Hidden Village.
"What nonsense, let you do it, I naturally have my considerations." Glaring at Tao Dibai, Ghost Lantern Long Wu said impatiently.
He naturally understands Taodibai's scruples, but now he has no choice but to take one step at a time.
"I see."
Since the ghost lantern dragon five had already said so, Tao Dibai knew that it was useless for him to say anything, so after nodding helplessly, he also turned around and left.
"It's better not to let me know who killed Oda Kiri, otherwise... Don't blame me..."
Clenched his hands fiercely, and a cold aura erupted from Ghost Lantern Long Wu's body.
·······
The Land of Vortex.
"Toshihiko, have you found the information you want?"
After placing the tea on the table, Tsunade asked softly.
Ever since Konoha Village's reply arrived, Toshihiko had been checking the information in his room.
Everyone didn't dare to disturb him, and Tsunade, afraid that Toshihiko was too tired, came in and brought a cup of tea.
"It's almost certain."
Leaning back in the chair, gently lowering the scroll in his hand, and enjoying Tsunade's gentle fingertip massage with his eyes closed, Toshihiko said softly.
"Really!"
Upon hearing this, Tsunade showed a look of surprise.
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, this is the man."
Opening his eyes and picking up the scroll, Toshihiko pointed to a name on it.
"Ghost Lantern Essence Moon!"
Leaning over his head and pressing Toshihiko's cheek, Tsunade muttered to himself.
"Well, it's this person, the younger brother of the second generation of Mizukage, the former patriarch of the Ghost Lantern Clan.
As you can see above, he has been active on the front line in the battle with Iwain Village, but he inexplicably disappeared in a major battle with Iwain Village under his command eight years ago. In the end, it was characterized as a battlefield sacrifice.
Eight years ago! Is it the same time that the man in the dungeon was brought to the country of vortex? ”
Pointing to the deeds of the ghost lamp Jingyue on the scroll, Toshihiko said slowly.
"This time is right, and with the identity of the ghost lamp Jingyue, it is enough to make the Fog Hidden Village pay such a price for saving him. I really didn't expect my uncle to meet a random person with such an identity. ”
At this moment, even Tsunade couldn't help but sigh.
However, Tsunade is more concerned about what Toshihiko will do with him once the other party is really a ghost lamp Seitsuki.
After all, if such an important person is not handled well, it will really cause a war between the two countries.
