Chapter Seventy-Six: The Fall of Sand Hidden Village
"Is this war?"
Outside the mountain castle of Sand Hidden Village, Naruto Uzumaki covered the slender wound on his left arm, his face dazed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In front of him, a young man of the same age was lying in a pool of blood, with Naruto's kunai still stuck in his chest.
In the battle just now, Naruto originally had the upper hand, but he couldn't make a move when he looked at the young face of the sand ninja boy, who would have thought that he would be almost killed by the other party's frequent death blows because of a moment of soft-heartedness, if he dodged in time, he was afraid that he would die here.
Looking at the hideous face of the sand shinobi boy, thinking about the slogan of 'For the Village' that the other party chanted before he died, Naruto's whole body froze.
He had always felt that he was righteous, and he had gone to the battlefield to protect his fellow villagers in order to protect him, but at this time, looking at the corpse of the sand ninja boy, Naruto felt that he couldn't calm down in his heart no matter what.
Looking around a little distractedly, Naruto saw a battlefield full of shouts of slaughter, and in this vast and desolate sand, the ninjas of Konoha and Sand Ninja fought each other like wild beasts.
With their backs to the defensive barrier of the mountain castle, the sand ninja baptized the earth with rows of roaring wind bombs, and a large number of Konoha ninjas were blown to pieces in the process of charging, suffering heavy casualties.
But the sand ninja didn't please either, with a few elite shinobi as the vanguard, Konoha's ninja team had broken through the defense line of the sand ninja, and some people had even rushed into the interior of the mountain castle in the sand hidden village, and there was already smoke rising in several places in the towering mountain city, and bursts of shouts of killing sounded.
At the gate, the crowd was huddled.
Familiar figures, unfamiliar figures, as long as Naruto saw people, each one of them was fighting desperately with red eyes, and those hideous faces were like demons from hell.
"Why is this happening?"
Standing on the battlefield in a daze, Naruto watched all this in bewilderment, only to feel stranger than ever.
Obviously, a few months ago, he followed Jiraiya back to Tsunade with great interest, but in less than half a year, everything changed.
First Sasuke disappeared inexplicably, and he and Sakura couldn't find it, and finally looked at Sakura, who was in tears all day, and he had to make an agreement with the other party that he must find Sasuke back; Then there was the poll in the village, because the village of Sand Ninja not only did not apologize for the war it started, but also started the war, and on the spur of the moment he signed his name on the kind of petition agreeing to go to war; Then the war began, starting from Konoha Village, coming to the border between the two countries, where they defeated the troops of the Sand Ninja in one fell swoop, and then fought all the way to here, the location of the Sand Hidden Village.
Over the past few months, as the war has progressed, Naruto's state of mind has also been constantly changing.
From the excitement at the beginning, to the later fear, disgust, and then to the later numbness, the boy who would only rush to the enemy with a lot of blood has also changed a lot, because it is necessary to completely solve the sand ninja before the cloud ninja and the rock ninja participate in the war, the Konoha ninja is almost alone, and he is constantly killing towards the sand hidden village, in the face of the sneak attack and assassination of the sand ninja, many partners have left the team, so they were forced to give up, this move made Naruto, who originally cherished his companions, feel extremely dazed, originally he thought that everyone would object, But in the face of the noisy self who said that he would never give up, all his companions looked at him with mockery and contempt.
Isn't the most important iron rule of a ninja to protect your companions? Why give up now?
Naruto had asked Kakashi this question, but the latter shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying that this is war, and we have to give up some of it in order to protect more partners.
No! That's not right!
Naruto opened his mouth to refute, but for some reason, looking at Kakashi with a tired face, he couldn't say anything.
Obey orders, this is to protect our fellow soldiers, we are righteous!
Saying this to himself in his heart, Naruto forced himself to raise kunai against his enemies.
With the powerful chakra brought by the Nine-Tails, he did not fall behind, and fought all the way to this final battlefield.
But after killing a teenager of the same age with his own hands, listening to the other party's last words before he died, Naruto felt that something had been planned in his heart, and everything that had become numb in the past was completely clear at this time.
Smelling the strong smell of blood on the battlefield and watching the ninjas fighting and gnawing like wild beasts, Naruto felt like he had woken up, and suddenly felt a little like throwing up, and his whole body couldn't move.
It's just that the battlefield is not a good place to be stunned, and at the moment when Naruto was sober, a sand shinobi swooped over, and the kunai in his hand stabbed Naruto's neck fiercely.
Because he was stunned, by the time Naruto reacted, it was already too late.
"Naruto, be careful!"
Seeing that Naruto was about to die, a dazzling bolt of lightning rushed out from his side, severing Sha Shinobi's arm and then piercing through the other man's chest.
As soon as he kicked the sand shinobi who had turned into a corpse and flew out, Kakashi shouted angrily, "Naruto, what are you doing, do you want to die?" ā
Covered in blood, Kakashi only felt a little fear in his heart, just now, he was about to lose this subordinate forever, I really can't figure it out, obviously he has behaved well before, how could Naruto make such a mistake?
However, in the face of Kakashi's blame, Naruto raised his head and asked with a complicated expression, "Kakashi-sensei, are we really protecting our companions?" Does this war really have to make sense? ā
Pointing to the countless corpses around him, Naruto shouted loudly.
Kakashi's body stiffened when he heard this, and he looked at the stubborn little face in front of him, but he didn't know what to say.
With his level, he naturally knows the inside story of this war, and knows the truth that could have avoided this disaster, but in the face of the 'righteousness' of the village, the Hokage, and the major families, what can he say? Pulling students out of one whirlpool and pushing them into another, deeper whirlpool?
"Naruto, this-"
His lips squirmed slightly, and Kakashi was about to say something, but at this moment, there was a sudden change on the battlefield.
"Mu Dun? The Art of the Wooden Man! ā
With a soft shout, a huge wooden Buddha tens of meters high rose from the ground, overlooking the mountain city of Shayin Village like a god.
A figure stood proudly above the head of the giant Buddha.
"It's Inuzuka-sama!"
The Konoha ninjas shouted in surprise when they saw this, and their voices were full of fear, while the sand ninjas were like mourners, their eyes full of fear.
Without a shadow-level master and a tailed beast, the current Sand Hidden Village would not be able to resist Mo Wen's attack at all.
One step, two steps, the huge tree man stared at Sha Ren's various retreats and came to the gate of the city, and his whole body looked condescendingly into the city.
The next moment, I saw the giant Buddha wave his hand violently, and his huge arm swept over the walls of Sand Hidden Village like a hurricane, and the sand ninja who was originally there to block the Konoha ninja with the wind escape, was blown away like a kite that had dropped its string.
One hit! Two hits!
The Buddha then punched the wall that covered the barrier in Shayin Village, and after just a few blows, the impregnable wall was scattered like building blocks.
After the massive footsteps rumbled and destroyed the walls, the Treants continued to walk towards the interior of the Sand Hidden Village.
Behind the tree man, looking at the city gate that had expanded several times out of thin air and was no longer blocked, the Konoha ninjas cheered and slaughtered in, frantically pouring in like an ocean.
"Konoha will win!"
"Long live Inuzuka-sama!"
"Kill all these sand ninjas!"

A moment later, the entire Sand Hidden Village was filled with the voices of Konoha ninjas.
Standing outside the mountain castle, Naruto watched all this quietly, and suddenly there was something uncomfortable in his heart, both longing for the powerful figure that swept everything in the city, and incomprehension and disdain for this war, his face was extremely complicated.
At the beginning of the 63rd year of the Konoha calendar, Konoha broke through the Sand Hidden Village, and under the old hiding of the Wind Shadow Sea, most of the high-level sand ninja were killed in battle, and a large number of sand ninja surrendered. At the same time, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire declared war on the Land of the Wind and officially occupied the entire territory of the Land of the Wind in just three months, capturing the Daimyo of the Land of the Wind, and the entire ninja world trembled.
In the autumn of the 63rd year of the Konoha calendar, Yun Shinobi and Iwa Shinobi announced their alliance, and the two families sent troops to declare war on Konoha at the same time, and at the same time, the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder and the Land of Earth asked the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to unconditionally release the Daimyo of the Land of Wind and return the territory of the other party, but it was unsuccessful, and the Three Kingdoms declared war.
