，！

On January 15th, it was still cold.

Although this is not the coldest time of the year, there are still many days to pass before the beginning of spring.

The 'Fourth Ninja War', which made all countries panic, broke out at the most sudden time, but only half a month has passed, and this ninja war with the ninja villages of the four major countries of fire, water, earth, and wind as the fan is like the wind and fire when it broke out, and now it has also come to an abrupt end.

But it is naturally impossible to really end it, because according to the movements of Iwakuin Village, they have sent 10,000 ninjas to the western front line of the land of the earth, with a tough posture to retake the lost homeland by force. And as an alliance, the three ninja villages of Konoha, Sand Hide, and Fog Hide, also gave a supportive attitude, and more and more ninja troops were sent to the front line, although they no longer used small countries as battlefields as before, and launched fierce wars, but this gesture was no less than telling the country of ghosts that this war provoked by them has not yet ended.

The Oni Country, which is the 'beaten' side, has the same strategy, with a large number of ninjas being transferred from the territory to the border.

Especially in the western part of the land that has just been conquered, there are 3,000 elite ninjas, 10,000 non-ninja soldiers, 900 armored artillery vehicles, 150 flying ninja equipment, and enough living and medical supplies for tens of thousands of troops to live for several years, and 10,000 ninjas in Iwakure are confronted at the border.

Using this as a reference, maybe the country of ghosts is also ready to stalemate with the country of earth for a long time.

And as Iwakure's three allies, Ninja Village was also treated seriously by the country of ghosts.

The military unit, which is a mixture of ninjas and non-ninjas, has arrived in the border area under the power of the Oni no Kuni one step ahead of time, and is closely stationed, ready to fight against four enemies again.

Although all sides have temporarily died down, if this situation continues, there may not be a major war that will break out again.

And at that time, I am afraid that it will no longer be the same petty fight as before, and perhaps it will be accompanied by the demise of a big country or even more big countries, and the end of the war will be ushered in.

This is by no means a good thing for a small country located near a war zone.

Especially as the only way for Konoha to attack the country of ghosts, the country of birds, its daimyo is helpless to watch all these things happen, and can only hope that these big countries can live in peace.

Maybe the ninjas have enough supplies for now, but if the stalemate continues, sooner or later they will 'take local materials' in the country of birds, scourge the civilians and towns of the country of birds, plunder the living materials of the country of birds in the name of conscription, and force the nobles of the country of birds to fund them...... After all, what happened to the Land of Rain in the past has long confirmed that all this will actually happen, and it is not a groundless malicious speculation about these big countries.

A large country with the ability to make rules must also have the ability to break those rules. It's just whether they want to break it, not whether they can or not.

"Why haven't the negotiations come yet, I don't want to stay in this kind of hellish place."

The air in the sea west of the Oni no Kuni is very cold.

You can even see huge glaciers floating in the ocean in the distance.

Lost Cang walked high above the border of the island camp and looked out at the endless sea in front of him.

The rest of the sea is not covered in dense fog, only thin fog, so glaciers may be seen.

However, if you look to the east, you will find that the western part of the Oni Country has been shrouded in enchantment, covering the entire sea area with dense fog.

If you enter recklessly, you will be detected by the fleet of the Oni Country, and then mysteriously disappear.

A ninja who can do this level is not a single ninja who is performing an enchantment technique that releases a dense mist, at least hundreds of ninjas are working together, plus a huge energy core that can continuously provide a supply of chakra, which can cause this kind of scene.

The country of ghosts, which can create a steel fleet, cannot afford not to pay attention to naval warfare.

Although it can also be done with the ability of Misty Concealment, but now the attacker is not the country of ghosts, and the country of ghosts is the defender, so it is better to hunt in it.

I'm thinking about it, if I really fight with the country of ghosts, how can I solve this situation?

Sure enough, he still used the power of the three tails to throw a few tailed beast jade over first, and it was best to explore the road.

Or let the ninjas of the Snow Clan advance all the way to the frozen sea, hindering the fleet of the Oni Country...... The premise is to know the route of the fleet of the Oni no Kuni.

After all, once detected, the Oni no Kuni can attack from a distance of several kilometers, instead of fighting the ninja closely.

"Generally speaking, it will not be so fast, and the situation may change at any time, maybe it will continue to fight and give up the possibility of negotiations."

Terumi Ming, who was standing next to the lost position, spoke.

Her pair of child holes also swept towards the western seas of the Ghost Country, and she made a sound.

"That old man Dokage, is he so decisive?"

He rubbed his somewhat reddened nose and exhaled white cold air from his mouth.

I couldn't help but laugh when I thought of the image of the Tsuchikage in the conference room, smashing the tables, chairs, and cups into pieces.

I was thinking of picking up the leak in the back and letting Konoha, Sand Hide, and Fog Hide go up to test it, but in the end, I found myself suffering the most losses...... This Tsuchikage's mind was clear from the beginning of the loss.

In other words, the rest of the shadows can be seen, but the Fire Country and Konoha as the initiators must be the main force and fight with the Oni Country. In order to regain the land of the past, Sand Hide will inevitably increase its attack, and the Water Country side will inevitably be the main force attacking the Ghost Country because the people in the country are rioting everywhere...... Although the current result is that Iwakuin, who didn't have a strong appeal at the beginning and just wanted to pick up the leak with peace of mind, inexplicably became the main force against the country of ghosts.

And in this way, the country of ghosts was caught off guard by the country of earth, and quickly occupied part of the land in the west of the country of earth, whether it was the shadow of the earth or the daimyo of the country of the earth, presumably they all hated the country of ghosts at this time.

"If it is before retirement, it is not impossible to die with the enemy and shine until the last moment."

Terumi said.

Until the last moment, no one knows what Iwakuin will do at this time.

Anyone can see that Onoki is in the position of Tsuchikage, and there are not a few years left.

"Really?"

Losing positions doesn't care about that.

This time the alliance of the four powers, all parties have losses, and it is nothing more than a matter of severity.

Even the fog is also lost, and the loss is the greatest, because he, the water shadow, is about to step down, so naturally it is also regarded as the 'loss' of the fog.

"I'm going to go back to China next and deal with the Daimyo, and you'll be able to represent you for all matters here, including if there are any negotiations to be held later. From now on, you are the fifth generation of Mizukage. ”

didn't take things seriously, and didn't convene a meeting of the upper ninja to discuss, and in the calm, he lost his position and handed over the throne of Mizukage very casually.

With that, he turned around and headed back towards the camp.

It's like 'get all the work done and go on vacation'.

Terumi was not too surprised, but nodded firmly.

Over the years, he has been working as an assistant to the water shadow, and then he was promoted to the acting water shadow by losing his position, and the work of the water shadow has already been ripe.

Even the dark part of the fog, a few years ago, was her assistant acting commander.

Such a handover of the position of Mizukage is just a natural result.

When the matter here is over, then return to the fog to make up for the succession ceremony and officially issue a notice to the countries.

◎

With a feeble whimper, the huge toad's body fell to the bloody snow.

Around it, there are hundreds of toads the same size as a human, or slightly larger, the size of a single room. 捌柒7zw

None of these toads survived the battle.

On the snowy ground stained with blood, the figures of three giant cats stood there very eye-catching.

Around the three giant cats, there are also hundreds of heavily armed Oni no Kuni ninjas, who are responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.

"I'm sorry, Bai Huo, I accidentally robbed your prey."

The orange-red orange cat has a black leather belt wrapped around its body, and on its back is a large black square box, similar to some kind of instrument, I don't know what it is used for.

It said in a light tone to the giant white cat next to it.

"Chihuo, if you want to apologize, at least you have to take out your treasured wine to be sincere."

Bai Huo snorted coldly, his voice was crisp, but it sounded very cold and hard, and there was no doubt that it was a female cat.

"You two don't quarrel, there's still work to be done."

The black cat Nightfire walked over and glanced at the large dead toad.

This huge toad, which was originally in Miaomu Mountain and was the opponent of the White Fire, has now turned into a corpse.

It was Miaomu Mountain's general, Toad Guang, who was the brother of its rival Toad Bunta.

The twin knives controlled by Toad Guang were broken into several pieces, and they were randomly inserted diagonally in the surrounding snow, standing tall despite the wind.

"It's a pity that you have to fight to the last moment, and you have to seek a way for your comrades to survive, and you have never bowed to the enemy...... However, since it is an enemy, there is nothing it can do. Chihuo, give them the last mercy, at least let them enjoy eternal peace after death. ”

Night Fire looked at Toad Guang's corpse, which was scarred and burned and a huge bloody mouth torn open by sharp claws, and the blood that flowed out of it had congealed into lumps under the cold wind.

"Let me come again?"

Chihuo muttered dissatisfied.

As the Four Heavenly Kings of the Ninja Cat Clan, it was originally placed in the hands of the Night Fire with a slight disadvantage, resulting in being summoned by it.

Although the ninja cat clan does not believe in the rule that the strong are respected, the strong do have a certain priority in this regard.

"The Feather Fire Boss is not here, and among us, you are the only one who is the best at fire escape."

Nightfire said.

"Got it."

Red Fire didn't refute this, and the orange hair shone like flames, and the temperature began to warm up even with the surrounding snow.

He walked to the place where the corpse of the toad had already been collected by the ninjas of the country of ghosts, and a large number of toad corpses had piled up around the corpse of Toad Guang, forming a hill.

After the Oni no Kuni ninja retreated to a safe area, it bent down slightly, and the black iron box on its back made a loud noise, and two dark pipes emerged from the black iron box, pointing to the 'hill' in front of it.

As it poured into the chakra, the depths of the two dark pipes connecting the black iron box suddenly lit up, and as the air hummed, a straight torrent of flames quickly erupted from the two pipes, sweeping the 'hill' ahead.

Flames surrounded the 'hill', and blood thawed in the scorching heat, gurgling down a red carpet on the snow.

A large number of corpses burned together, the flames soaring to the sky, undying in the bitter cold wind, and even the air was transformed in the flames.

"Do you want to keep hunting? If you continue the pursuit, you will reach the border of the Fire Nation. ”

The only female cat, Bai Huo, licked the white hair of her forelimbs, and with a pair of bright eyes, she looked into the distance.

On its exposed claws, there was a wide range of blood and minced flesh of the toad.

Night Fire raised its head gracefully and looked into the distance, where there was still an endless snowfield, and I didn't know where it would stretch.

"Let's go back, if you fall into the encirclement of Konoha it's a little troublesome, and besides, if you chase down here, the remaining toads are no longer a concern."

Nightfire shook his head, it was unwise to continue the pursuit.

Mount Myoki has been destroyed, and the land there has been transformed from a so-called paradise into a barren land that will not be inhabited by animals for at least many years.

Mt. Myoki is finished.

"In this way, maybe we ninja cat clan also have the possibility of winning the new holy land."

At this time, Chihuo said such a sentence.

The fall of Miaomu Mountain may not have much impact on the human world, but in the world of psychic beasts, it is enough to cause an uproar.

And the ninja cat clan who participated in this operation, in the psychic beast world, will inevitably rise in momentum.

Those weak psychic beasts may also come to find the ninja cat clan and seek the protection of the ninja cat clan.

Although compared to the Dragon Cave and the Wet Bone Forest, the background of the ninja cat clan is very shallow, and the human cats who have fully comprehended the immortal art are only the leader of their four heavenly kings, Yuhuo, but under the holy land, in the psychic beast world, there is no psychic beast clan that can threaten the status of the ninja cat clan.

In this way, the ninja cat clan has enough time to develop, accumulate their own heritage, and become a new psychic beast holy land.

"That's going to be busy."

Nightfire has no view of red fire.

Forming a holy land is a goal that all psychic beast races aspire to.

It's just that this goal is not easy to achieve.

Among the ninja cat clan, apart from their four heavenly kings, there are few who can fight.

And this attack on Miaomu Mountain, if it weren't for the assistance of the Ghost Country and the Dragon Land Cave, if the ninja cat clan started a war with Miaomu Mountain, I am afraid that they would not even be able to enter the door, and they would be completely wiped out outside.

Whether it was the great toad that almost swallowed their boss, or the two great immortals, or the large number of large toads, countless toad guards with special abilities all proved the strong foundation of Miaomu Mountain.

If you want to accumulate heritage and become a holy land, the time must be calculated at least a hundred years.

Not long after, the three of them turned and left, and the accompanying Oni no Kuni ninjas also returned, leaving only the mountain of corpses still burning in the snow, and the fire would not disappear until the corpses were reduced to ashes.

"I'm sorry, the lustful fairy, it's all because of my relationship, the big toad fairy is ......"

Seeing Jiraiya, who had returned to Konoha, Naruto felt guilty to himself, as if he hated himself for rushing to the battlefield at Mount Myoki regardless of his safety.

If it weren't for taking care of his safety, the Great Toad Immortal would not have failed at all, and Miaomu Mountain would not have been destroyed because of this, causing countless toads to die in battle.

The thought that the entire Myoki Mountain might have been destroyed because of his own mistakes made Naruto felt like he could barely breathe.

Jirai didn't finish speaking, nor did he reprimand Naruto, he just touched his head, also with a heavy face.

Especially when he saw Fukasaku Immortal and Shima Immortal with a lonely face in the living room of Naruto's house, his face was painful, and he was more of the same self-blame as Naruto.

If you can be stronger, or if you don't fall for the tricks of the Oni Country...... He can get out of the frontline battlefield and go to Myoki Mountain to support, and Konoha will not go to great lengths for him, focusing his forces on rescuing him, and he can't rush to Myoki Mountain......

Whether it was him or Konoha, they were actually calculated by the country of ghosts.

The role of his three ninjas is not only to better annihilate Konoha in the country of ghosts, but also to contain him and Konoha's main force in the country of bears, unable to advance or retreat, so that they cannot support Miaomu Mountain, thus affecting the balance of the battle situation on Miaomu Mountain.

After all, in such a battle, even if it is a slight advantage, it may have a huge tilt because of the addition of Konoha.

It is precisely to prevent this that Konoha is trapped in the battlefield of the Bear Country and cannot extricate himself.

Originally, as the Hokage's Tsunade, he could go to Mt. Myoki.

However, there was a quality problem with the medicines sent to the front line by the medical department, which caused her, the Hokage, to have to wait in Konoha to be vigilant against the existence of the 'inner ghost', and lose the best opportunity to support Myoki Mountain.

"If you feel guilty of self-remorse, then practice hard and avenge the death of the Great Toad Immortal. Mere self-blame is useless. ”

Jilai also said the same.

"Yes, I see." Naruto took a deep breath, also cheered up, looked back at Jiraiya, and asked, "Speaking of which, lecherous immortals, why did the country of ghosts attack Mount Myoki?" Was this war really provoked by us Konoha? ”

Naruto asked the question at this point.

He was confused by the situation.

For example, why did the country of ghosts attack Myoki Mountain.

Why did Konoha unite with the rest of the countries to wage war against the country of ghosts?

All of this confused Naruto.

Jiraiya looked Naruto in the eye.

"This is for the stability of the ninja world. When you passed by the country of Ikenoki on a previous mission, you should understand what happened there. The people there rebelled and overthrew the rule of the Daimyo, causing the current Ikenokuni to fall into a terrifying civil war, and the initiator was the Oni Kuni. ”

Hearing this, Naruto thought of that unquiet night.

Countless figures rushed into the Daimyo Mansion of Ikeno Kuni, and the samurai who defended the Daimyo fell in a pool of blood one by one, and the unarmed Daimyo's family, old and young, women and children, were also imprisoned by the group of militiamen.

That kind of picture was very shocking for Naruto, who had been in peace for a long time.

Although, the battle scene is far less shocking than the Miaomu Mountain battlefield this time.

"The country of waves, which you visited earlier, was also invaded by the country of ghosts, where a civil war was detonated, resulting in countless deaths. And that's just the tip of the iceberg...... In many small countries that you can't see, such scenes are also staged, and at the instigation of the country of ghosts, a tragic civil war breaks out. The reason why the Four Great Nations Alliance attacked the Oni Country this time was precisely to curb the aggression of the Oni Country in various parts of the ninja world and restore the order of the ninja world. ”

Jiraiya said.

"What about Miaomu Mountain?"

"The Great Toad Immortal once said that Chiba Shiraishi, the military minister of the Land of Demons, would bring great trauma to the ninja world and let the flames of war burn the entire ninja world...... Such prophecies have come true one by one, and I think that's why the other side led the ninjas of the Oni Country and united with the Dragon Cave to attack Mt. Myoki. In addition to that, it's about you. ”

"Me?"

Naruto looked confused, what did it have to do with him.

"Because you are the savior of the prophecy of the Great Toad Immortal, the son of prophecy who can bring peace to the ninja world. The actions of the Oni Country and Chiba Shiraishi prove that the prophecy of the Great Toad Immortal is true. Then, as the child of prophecy, you, defeat the country of ghosts and Chiba Shiraishi in the future, it will also become a fact. Therefore, the other party plans to strike first and destroy the big toad immortal and you as the son of prophecy in advance. ”

I can only guess like this.

The real reason for the Oni Country's attack on Myoki Mountain this time is not particularly clear.

But the most reliable basis is that Chiba Shiraishi of the Oni Country was afraid of the prophecy of the Great Toad Immortal, and he was afraid that Naruto in the prophecy would become the nemesis of the Oni Country and him, so he planned this battle of Myokiyama.

As long as the Great Toad Immortal and Naruto are eliminated, there will be no one to restrain the Oni Country in the future.

This is the most reasonable result that has been inferred based on the prophecy of Mt. Myoki.

Ignoring the stunned Naruto, Jiraiya walked towards Fukasaku Immortal and Shima Immortal.

"Fukasaku boss, big sister Shima, next...... What's next? ”

Zilai also looked at the two immortals who were lost and depressed, and couldn't bear to ask.

The destruction of Miaomu Mountain is undoubtedly a huge blow to the two great immortals.

After living in their homeland for 800 years, once destroyed, you can imagine the grief and grief of the two immortals at this time.

Fukasaku Immortal smiled bitterly and replied: "We have no idea about revenge, and the next thing is to gather the remnants of Miaomu Mountain, go to a place where no one disturbs, and re-establish our lives." ”

Although most of the high-end combat power of Miaomu Mountain was wiped out by the ninjas of the Ghost Country and the White Snake Immortals of the Dragon Land Cave, with the strength of the two of them, it was enough to protect themselves in this dangerous ninja world.

At the very least, most of the immortal arts inheritance of Miaomu Mountain was remembered in their minds, and they could reopen a happy land for them to cultivate and recuperate.

In addition to those that can't be taken away, important props such as the contract documents of Miaomu Mountain are also well kept in their hands.

Jiraiya wanted to say something, but considering something, he still didn't say it, just nodded.

"Regarding the matter of immortal arts, I will stay in Konoha for the time being and guide little Naruto to continue his cultivation, as long as he enters the immortal mode, in fact, it is the same wherever he cultivates immortal arts, and there will not be much difference. As for the Pseudo-Immortal Talisman...... When I was leaving, I only had time to take some of them with me, and the remaining pseudo-immortal talismans should have been collected by the Ghost Country at this time. ”

Fukasaku Immortal took out five brand-new pseudo-immortal talismans from his pocket, which were filled with a large number of immortal chakras, and once filled with immortal chakras, ten seriously injured people could be healed.

Jiraiya solemnly took over these pseudo-immortal talismans, and in the future, maybe they will be an important tool for Konoha to use to deal with the country of ghosts.

"Speaking of which, I have one thing that I am more puzzled about, how did Chiba Shiraishi defeat the Great Toad Immortal?"

Zilai also thought twice and asked this question.

Fukasaku Immortal shook his head at this.

"It's not particularly clear, the big lord is in that state, it can be said that King Kong is not bad, and the ability to resist blows has long surpassed that of the tailed beast, and there should be no kind of ninjutsu and weapons in this world that can cause fatal injuries to the big lord......"

And the result was that the Great Toad Immortal was inexplicably defeated.

When I finally saw it, not even a trace of chakra was gone.

That kind of symptom seems to be similar to the result of being stabbed by the existence called Akako in the past by the Shima Immortal, but the Fukasaku Immortal still feels that there is something different.

But what it is, Fukasaku Immortal doesn't know.

I have no choice but to give up, and in terms of intelligence, further investigation is needed.

"In the future, our side may not be able to provide any useful help to Konoha anymore, and everything after that will only depend on you to move forward. Remember, don't go to war with the country of Oni until little Naruto grows up. ”

At this point, the Shenzuo Immortal also felt that he had exhausted his benevolence and righteousness.

After teaching Naruto's senjutsu, he left Konoha with his wife and the remnants of Myogi Mountain's defeated army, and reopened a happy land in the ninja world, no longer interfering in the rights and wrongs of the human world.

Jiraiya nodded heavily.

In this war, it is true that they are a little impatient.

Although it is also an aspect, the most fundamental reason is that their understanding of the country of ghosts is too shallow, which leads to major mistakes in the arrangement.

Jiraiya looked at Naruto in silence, this was the only hope for the future against the country of demons and Chiba Shiraishi.

After that, even if it costs with your life, you must protect it.
