In the early morning, a light rain was dripping.

Only the gravel branches on the muddy ground were silent testimonies to the momentum of yesterday's rainstorm, and the steps in front of the house were littered with specks of dirt.

The boys and girls stood in the rain, and the heavy atmosphere was like a boulder pressing down on their chests.

"I'm done, I'm leaving!" Guanyue reached out and combed her hair, wring out the excessive moisture on the ends of her hair, and then gently touched her wet fingers.

"Kara!!

There was a sudden thunder on the ground, and the loud sound could almost be turned into a substantial shock wave, Yahiko instinctively reached out to cover his ears, and opened his mouth wide because of the horror, which looked quite funny.

"I'm going to go, what is this?"

"Good······ Dazzling! ”

Xiao Nan narrowed his eyes, a little unaccustomed to this too dazzling brilliance.

The silver-white chariot hovered in the air three or four meters above the ground, emitting a rumbling thunder, and the active lightning and thunder emitted a shining silver light, dazzling.

"Yahiko, Xiao Nan, I really said goodbye this time." Guanyue stood on the thundering chariot, nodded slightly to the two, and then glanced at the silent Nagato, and smiled, he didn't expect to be able to dissolve the obsession in Nagato's heart in three or two sentences, as long as he left a seed of doubt, it was enough, and time would naturally water it to thrive.

"Booming ······"

The chariot rushed away with the sound of concussive thunder, and the silver light in the distance was deeply reflected in the eyes of the three people.

————

"How many were killed today?"

"Eighty-nine."

“······ Is it about to break through to triple digits? ”

The grotto flickered with firelight, and around the bonfire, five or six sleepless ninjas whispered and chatted.

Konoha ninjas used the sturdy mountain of Mount Kuroo to dig out many large and small grottoes, the larger ones can accommodate one or two hundred people, and the smaller ones can also accommodate twenty or thirty people, this is one of the large grottoes, which can accommodate one hundred and seventy-one ninjas, that is, fifty-seven squads.

"That's right, that's right, more than two hundred people have been killed in the past three days, and Tuoyan has been blessed with this group of bastards, and I've been busy with work lately."

"Huh? Is it so busy? Isn't this mortality rate high? Didn't more people die in the real war? ”

Hearing his companion's question, the middle-aged ninja immediately slapped his thigh, revealing an expression that you don't know.

"It's not troublesome to die, it's just a matter of counting names, you can always get it done with a little more time, I'm most afraid that a team loses one or two people, and then marshal a new team, this job is the most troublesome, not long after the comrades who get along day and night die, you have to stuff new people in, or be assigned to other squads, hmm······ Just thinking about it, my stomach started to hurt. The middle-aged ninja pressed his stomach, his distorted face reflecting the huge burden of pressure on his body.

Terrible work indeed!

Rather than dealing with this kind of thing, it feels easier to go to the front line and fight the enemy.

Sitting quietly in a dark corner, Rope Tree thought.

Since Guanyue led Kuma Saburo and his party away, they have encountered several battles, but they have never encountered a terrible enemy like Kuma Saburo, saying so, or paid a certain price, before they successfully arrived at the place where the sand ninja stored grain and grass in the intelligence, but the final result was that they found only an empty nest.

Maybe they should be glad that it is just an empty nest, otherwise they are likely to not be able to come back, just look at the Heiwei Mountain, where the heavy troops are gathered now, you can guess that the grain stronghold of the sand ninja must be the Longtan Tiger's Den.

However, in the end, it turned out that all the so-called information was a smoke bomb of the sand ninja, and all the locations were fabricated under the guise of attracting their attention, and the sand ninja united with the rock shinobi to launch a surprise attack on Mount Kuroo, and invested a human pillar force.

Just by the end of the day, Sand Shinobi and Iwa Shinobi succeeded.

That battle completely confirmed that Sannin was by no means a wasted person, and Hanzo, who was known as a demigod, was not a man of his word.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, the apprentices of the three generations of Hokage of Konoha reversed the defeat of Mount Kuroo, repelled the attack of a human pillar force, and caused it to suffer a lot of damage, with the self-healing ability of the human pillar force, it can be seen that they have not participated in the attack in the past few days.

It's a pity that although the surprise attack failed, the combined forces of Sand Shinobi and Iwa Shinobi did not retreat, and were still trying to capture Mount Kuroo, and Iwa Shinobi even gave up the entanglement with Yu Shinobi for this, and Sand Shinobi also bit Shuo Mao to the death in the front line camp, and would rather pay a great price than let Shuo Mao free up his hands to support Black Tail Mountain.

The battle has reached a stalemate, and it is not known which side will break this fragile balance first.

"Otome, you say ······" Rope tree really wants to talk to people, since Guanyue left the team, he has no partner who can speak, Kamiya and Hoshio and others have their own groups, although they act together, it doesn't mean how close they will be, the name of a thousand hands is both a glory and a burden.

In this way, his conversation partner is only Otome of the same squad, but Otome is a silent character, and after Guanyue left, she became even more silent, which made the rope tree who was a bit of a talkative habit extremely tormented these days, and the teacher was busy with Shinobi to death, and he couldn't spare much time to talk to them, even if he learned that Guanyue was missing, it was likely to be a case of death in battle.

“······ Well, forget it, sorry to bother. ”

Rope Tree hesitated and looked at Otome who was sitting quietly in the corner refining chakra, and finally retreated.

"Guanyue is still alive, if the question you want to ask is this." Otome opened her eyes, her dark eyes that could freeze people's souls, and the cold sound was like a cold wind blowing, and the dancing bonfire was dimmed for a few seconds.

"Huh?"

Rope Tree was stunned and looked at Otome with a blank expression.

"That's what Kushina told me, and I also have a hunch that that guy's life is very hard, and death can't fall on his head so easily." After Otome finished speaking, she closed her eyes again, leaving a confused rope tree, and the corners of her mouth twitched, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Alive?

Is Guanyue really alive? Escape from under that terrible sand ninja, but why has there been no news for so long.

The chaotic thoughts in his heart were a mess, which only made his brain hurt, and he wanted to know what the so-called premonition meant, but he didn't dare to disturb Otome anymore, so he could only shrink into the darkness alone, and the noisy sound of rain outside the grotto suddenly became clear, making his heart more and more irritable.

It's just that a small glimmer of hope that was originally buried deep suddenly throbbed, and the cloudy inner world has a ray of sunshine that has been lost for a long time, piercing through the clouds.
