"Is it finally over?"

In the ninja school area, Ibiki, who was fighting hard with a group of dark and Konoha ninjas here, looked at the huge ninja cat that disappeared from front of him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person almost collapsed.

There were remnants of iron fragments from his lucky cat around the field, and judging by the extent of the shattering, it was shattered from the inside, like an inflated balloon exploding, and it was basically impossible to repair it.

The ninja cat clan is actually not a powerful psychic beast clan in Konoha's original intelligence system, this psychic beast clan is mainly engaged in arms trafficking and intelligence peddling, and it has a close relationship with the Uchiha clan...... Other than that, there is basically nothing to be commendable.

However, after experiencing the Fourth Ninja World War, this psychic beast group can be regarded as truly on the stage of the ninja world, cooperating with the ninjas of the Ghost Country to break through Miaomu Mountain, one of the three holy places. Although the strength of the clan has not reached the level of the Holy Land, it seems to be the most powerful psychic beast family under the Holy Land.

Coupled with the Uchiha clan backed by the country of ghosts, there must be a lot of room for development in the future.

Even the power shown now is enough to make the heart pound.

A giant ninja cat, restraining them hundreds of Konoha ninjas, all of them are acting with ease, although the other party is the top psychic beast in the ninja cat clan, but this strength, even in the ninja world, is enough to rank among the top ranks.

"Speaking of which, I heard that the most powerful psychic beast in the ninja cat clan has reached the realm of immortal paths, and it looks like the fattest ......."

Ibiki remembered something, in Konoha's intelligence system, such a piece of information was recorded.

And from the analysis of the information transmitted by the rest of the troops, the fattest ninja cat does not seem to have followed Uchiha Sasuke to attack Konoha this time.

Only three giant ninja cats came.

"No matter what it is, in short, this time, it is really completely destroyed, and the school needs to be rebuilt as soon as possible."

The dark part standing on the side looked at the huge ruins in front of him and said with a headache.

As the only ninja training institution in Konoha, the ninja school covers an extremely wide area, and even so, it has been destroyed, especially on the playground side, and it can no longer be seen as it was.

In addition, the most damaged buildings are the laboratory and teaching buildings, most of which have been destroyed, and there are shocking beast scratches left on them.

Judging from the degree of damage, even with Konoha's construction capacity, it will take a long time to repair.

At least for a month, the students will not be able to study here, so they will have to find another place to set up a temporary school to teach.

In any case, the cultivation of students cannot be interrupted once the school is destroyed.

Maybe even some of the land of the dark department will be temporarily requisitioned by the teachers and students of the school.

"Until then, let's settle down the candidates from outside. I'll report to Hokage-sama, and I'll leave the cleaning up to you. ”

Ibiki sighed and left with a dark team.

The dark shinobi who had spoken to him before looked in the direction Ibiki had left, then turned his head and began to direct the subordinates of the dark department present and some of the other Konoha ninjas who were good at earth escape, and began to deal with the ruins of the ninja school.

With a little hard work, it shouldn't take an hour to refill the holes in the ninja school, remove the broken rocks, and wait for the construction team to come and rebuild them.

A big war like this that happened directly inside Konoha is one of the few experiences that he has had in his more than thirty years of ninja career.

However, this is only a handful, and it is quite frequent compared to the rest of the villages.

◎

After the war, it took only three to five hours to compile a report of the results of the statistics.

But due to the fierce battle, for example, in order to pursue the incoming strong enemy, the Hokage accidentally smashed a small half of the Hokage building where he worked with his fist, and unfortunately, the small half of the collapsed just happened to affect the office area, so that as the Hokage's Tsunade, he could only temporarily place the office in the dark headquarters building that was not much damaged.

And let the dark department arrange the construction team as soon as possible to complete the repair of the damaged Hokage building.

As for the two giant ninja cats that were entangled with the shadows and the Konoha ninjas, after Obito evacuated, they also retreated together.

Without Obito containing, the two of them alone will soon be defeated under the siege of Konoha .

In any case, Konoha is also a ninja village under the rule of a great country, and its military strength is far from being comparable to that of ordinary villages.

In view of this, for the Obito and psychic ninja cats who come and go whenever they want, Konoha Ninja can only follow the Hokage and stare dryly.

The former has a strange and unpredictable space-time ninjutsu, and the latter is a ninja cat summoned by spiritism, as long as you take the initiative to disarm the spiritism, you can directly return to the ninja cat's clan, without fear of Konoha's pursuit.

So judging from the content of the statistical report, the results achieved by Konoha directly made Tsunade's eyebrows skip a beat.

Because the enemy's sacrifice rate is zero, and on Konoha's side, the losses are not only important buildings in areas such as the ninja school, shopping street, and Hokage Building, but also the ninjas who participated in the battle, and the casualties are not few. Such losses accumulate that even Konoha takes a long time to lick the wounds.

Of course, the trouble doesn't stop there, this joint Zhongnin exam was suddenly interrupted, and the representatives of the missions of various countries and villages must have made a lot of trouble outside.

How to appease them is also a problem, and they can't just deal with the internal affairs of Konoha.

In general, this joint Zhongnin exam has just begun, and it died halfway because of this unexpected factor of force majeure.

On the side of the ninja village, which is also a big country, she has thought of the wording of the response, after all, the village under the rule of the same big country will not come up directly to ask for an explanation, not that they are more tolerant, but with their status, the Konoha side will explain to them sooner or later, and there is no need to make the relationship too stiff. As for the Zhongnin exam, for them, it is nothing more than bringing back their own people and horses, and they can go back and temporarily retake it. With their mobilization, this is not a difficult problem.

Now it's just the ninja village of the small country that is making noise, and Tsunade directly asked Lu Jiu to deal with it.

With Shikaku's ability, it shouldn't be too difficult to appease them.

Just as I was thinking about it, the main door of the temporary office was pushed open from the outside, and at this time, Lu Jiu, who was the head of the upper ninja squad, didn't care about any etiquette.

Judging from the somewhat disgraced figure he walked into the office, he must have been well entertained by the missions of various countries and villages outside.

"Have those people stopped?"

Tsunade put down the report that he had collected in the shadows in his hand and asked Shikaku.

"It's been appeased for the time being, but it seems that there is no way to hold the Zhongnin exam, so it can only be reheld in November this year according to the backup plan."

Lu Jiu said.

Generally speaking, in villages like those ruled by big countries, due to the large number of candidates for the Shinobi every year, they will not only arrange a Shinobi exam, but will hold two or three times a year to select more Shinobi talents.

Tsunade nodded slightly.

"Since the mediation here is stable, and there are a few villages in Yunyin, I will personally go and give an explanation."

In the world of ninjas, strength equals status, and how much respect you will receive.

This time, Konoha made too big a mistake and couldn't just send a shinobi squad leader to respond like he did with a small country village, and in the face of an existence of equal status, it would be better for the Hokage to come forward in person.

This is also the reason why Yunyin and other villages are not in a hurry at all.

"Thank you. So, what about the specific losses of the village? ”

Lu Jiu asked tiredly.

Just now, he had been tugging with the Shinobi Village Mission in the small country, and he didn't have time to take care of the losses in Konoha before he could.

According to his estimates, Konoha lost a lot this time.

The building that is visible to the naked eye alone has suffered a lot of damage, and the economic losses suffered directly are enough for Konoha to drink a pot temporarily.

"On the ninja side, there are about nearly 600 wounded and more than 300 victims, including two advisors, Koharu and Mito Menyan......"

Speaking of which, Tsunade was a little silent.

Although she didn't like the two consultants, she couldn't help but sigh when she heard the news that the two had really died.

"Where are the corpses of the two of them?"

"One of the bodies was charred black, with black flames burning on it, and although it was absorbed by the shadows with sealing, it could not be identified, and it was suspected that it was a dormitory advisor. As for the body of the Mito Menyan advisor, it was not found at the scene, and according to witnesses who fled, it seemed to have been wiped out under a thunderstorm......"

“……”

Lu Jiu opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer for a while.

"Is the position of advisor going to be re-established later?"

"Not for now, now is not the time to discuss this."

The most important thing right now is to rebuild the damaged buildings in Konoha and to soothe the wounds of the victims' families, not the time to consider the position of consultant.

"What about the country of ghosts? What measures are to be taken over there? ”

Lu Jiu continued to ask.

As the leader of the upper shinobi squad, he needs to know what Tsunade means before he can go down and arrange everything, so as not to be at a loss and overwhelmed to deal with it.

"A letter of condemnation? I suspect that as soon as I send it over, I will be crumpled up by that stinky boy and thrown directly into the trash. ”

Tsunade's tone was unpleasant, she could imagine that Shiraishi would definitely do such a thing.

Irreconcilable contradictions, whether it is Konoha or the country of ghosts, it is impossible to make a compromise.

This attack battle seems to be Uchiha Sasuke's personal revenge, and the attackers are all ninjas who have a close relationship with the Uchiha clan, or psychic beasts, and there are no other ninjas from the Oni Country to help.

But what the country of ghosts did behind the scenes, only they know by themselves.

What's more, the Uchiha clan and the ninja cat clan have already become one with the country of ghosts at this time, and the status they occupy is not low, and many high-level combat forces in the military are from this clan.

The will of the Uchiha is not the will of the country of ghosts.

It's just whitewashing in the name of Uchiha Sasuke's revenge, no matter how Konoha condemns it, the Oni Country side can always find excuses and reasons to respond to them.

"Just find someone to scold a few words, and then give me a stamp."

That being said, the rhetoric of condemnation is still essential, but Tsunade is not prepared to do it himself, but asks Shikaku to find a ninja with good literary talents, draft a letter, and have her stamp it on Shiraishi's desk.

"Yes."

Shikaku could only smile bitterly, he was accustomed to Tsunade's casualness, and he also felt that this was not the time to pay attention to the condemnation letter.

When there is a conflict between countries, no matter what kind of righteousness the weak side occupies, as long as it is on the weak side, how to say and do, even if it is to breathe, in the eyes of others, it is wrong.

If it's a local war, they can arrange a small country with the country of ghosts, use it as a battlefield, and carry out remote control behind the scenes, without having to go on the field in person.

But not right now.

Sasuke Uchiha has already attacked Konoha head-on, and this is no longer a situation that can be controlled by remote control behind the scenes.

They must face the pressure of the Oni Country.

The country of ghosts sent Chiba Kazuhime to temporarily visit the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Fire in the name of the princess of the country of ghosts, precisely to transfer away from Konoha's important combat power. arranged for an Uchiha ninja with space-time ninjutsu to contain the Hokage and most of the shadows, and let Uchiha Sasuke let it go.

Otherwise, with just one Uchiha Sasuke, with Konoha's complete combat power, he can directly take it down in the first place. And these things that happened later would not have happened.

"Uchiha Sasuke's side, go check with the people at the root, I need to know the specific situation there."

Tsunade thought about it and ordered it.

After killing the two advisors, Uchiha Sasuke launched a surprise attack directly on the Konoha Heavy Punishment Room, and the dark department didn't know much about the situation there, only knowing that it was Naruto who stopped Sasuke, but what role did the root play in it, and how much was involved, whether Uchiha Sasuke fell into the hands of the root, whether he fled, was arrested, or killed. This problem needs to be verified with the root.

"Well, then, I'll go down and arrange it now."

Lu Jiu nodded, and was about to turn around.

"Wait, there's one more thing."

Tsunade called out to Shikaku.

"Anything else, Hokage-sama?"

"Well, it's about your precious son, who seems to have been seriously injured in this battle and is currently in the hospital...... Moreover, he seems to have a connection with the people of the roots. I don't know exactly how much it is linked, but ...... Anyway, let's test the tone of Danzang first. ”

Shikaku's eyes widened, and his body stiffened.

The news that Tsunade broke out caught him off guard.

Although there are indeed some martial arts factions in the Nara clan who have taken refuge in the group and even joined the root organization, after all, they are a minority, and they are also an important part of the clan's stability, but he only does not want his son Shikamaru to have high hopes for anything to do with this organization.

Konoha Torture Room, underground.

Like the second-generation Mizukage Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon standing in the silent room, several root ninjas in black coats are standing around at this time, surrounding the filthy body of the Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon.

After several hours of repeated pondering and research, they finally decided on something, and after a whispered exchange, they divided into three people and sat down around the ghost lantern Phantom Moon in a surrounding way, and each began to seal in a different printing order.

The powerful chakra emerged from them and converged on the top of the Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon's head, and around an illusory 'solution' word, a large number of illusory and uncertain transparent runes were densely covered, and finally fell on the sealing spell behind it, wrapping it.

Airplanes!

A terrifying energy blast poured out from the spell, followed the unsealed chakra, and rushed into the bodies of the three root ninjas who had sealed it, and immediately made their bodies shake, and they flew out with a bang, slammed into the wall, and vomited blood and fell to the ground.

A root ninja stepped forward to examine the injuries on the trio.

"How's it going?"

Danzo, who peeked out of the shadows, asked with a gloomy face as usual.

"Lord Tuanzang, their spirits have been impacted, and it will take about a week or so to recuperate before they can recover smoothly."

The root ninja who had completed the test reported the results to Danzo.

"How much power is left on the seal on the spell?"

Tuan Zang stared at the spell behind the ghost lamp phantom moon, frowned and continued to ask.

However, the surrounding root ninjas looked at each other, and they also seemed to be very confused about this answer, unable to give Danzou an accurate answer.

However, I also know that the temptation just now, although it proves that there is a strong sealing power left in the spell, but in the absence of a magician, there is no way to supply it indefinitely, and the sealing power inside must be reduced a lot.

"The next group will be unblocked."

Danzou was silent for a moment, and asked the next group to unseal the seal on the spell.

This is a sealing spell used to seal the soul, and it is pregnant with extremely strong chakra, in terms of the composition and effectiveness of the technique, in the absence of a continuous supply of chakra by the practitioner, the sealing power that can suppress the soul power of the previous generation of five shadows is amazing enough.

The Filthy Earth Reincarnation technique he is currently using is an improved version of Konoha's original Tainted Earth Reincarnation.

After all, this was originally a forbidden technique that belonged to Konoha, and with his status as a high-level elder of Konoha in the past, he was naturally qualified to scan the Book of Seals and learn this forbidden art.

After that, he had asked the root research department to improve this forbidden technique, and then obtained another part of the Filthy Earth Reincarnation Technique data from Orochimaru, and after combining them, it became the current Filthy Earth Reincarnation.

Even if there is no way to summon the deceased in his heyday due to the material problem of the sacrifice, as long as he can exert seventy or eighty percent of his power, it is enough to become the cornerstone of protecting Konoha.

Tailed beasts forbidden, Mu Dun experiments, reincarnation of filthy soil, transplantation of writing wheel eyes...... As long as it is something that can increase the odds of winning, the root has always been refusal. Rather, the more such hole cards, the better.

As for the so-called morality and ethics, or being attacked by other countries, that is also a matter of later.

If Konoha loses everything in the war that may break out later, it will become meaningless to stick to the so-called righteous path.

The Hokage has the path of the Hokage, and the roots have the way of the roots.

Following Danzang's order, in the crowd, three root ninjas walked out again, sat down in the same unprinting formation, and began to seal.

Not surprisingly, their bodies and spirits were once again hit by the energy in the spell, and they rolled out, but they were not unconscious.

Instead, after vomiting blood, he supported his injured body, sat down again, and continued to perform.

It wasn't until he was overwhelmed and fell into a coma that he stopped and replaced the third group.

It lasted for a full half an hour, replacing five teams, and the power in the spell was finally worn out.

Danzou was just about to step forward and remove the spell that had lost its sealing power, so that the research department could explore its secrets.

Snort –

The spell began to spontaneously combust, and the same blue flame as the chakra enveloped the spell, and the air still had the residual warmth of the charm before it turned into ashes.

“……”

Danzou withdrew his stiff palm.

It is given a mechanism to self-destruct when it is unlocked.

This practice of hiding the secrets of one's own technique is very common in the ninja world.

He took it for granted, with such a powerful seal, it was impossible for the country of ghosts to be left for outsiders to study and unlock the secrets in it.

Not to mention the techniques inside, just carrying such a huge chakra, the seal that has not yet been torn is a valuable treasure, and the cost is very expensive.

Ordinary talismans can't store such a huge chakra, and it took fifteen root ninjas who were proficient in sealing techniques to continue to attack for half an hour before they ran out of energy.

In other words, the next time you encounter this kind of seal talisman that suppresses the dead of the filthy earth, you must send more than a dozen ninjas who are proficient in sealing techniques to continue to attack for half an hour before they can be unlocked.

Moreover, the process cannot be interrupted.

This is an extremely harsh condition for the fierce battlefield.

"Danzo-sama."

The door to the ashram was opened.

The one who came in was the oil girl who took the root, one of the right and left hands of the group.

"What's the matter?"

"Nara Shikahisa came to visit and have something to discuss with you."

After hearing this, Tuan Zang thought for a moment, and instructed the root ninja on the side to say:

"Put the Mizukage in the original coffin and clean it up by the way."

"Yes."

The Root Ninja commands.

Danzo followed the oil girl to take the root and left here to meet the visiting shinobi squad leader.

Some of the root ninjas began to clean up the mess in the quiet room, and the two roots, carrying the water shadow ghost lantern Phantom Moon, placed it in the corresponding numbered coffin in another secret room, and finally closed the lid.

The moment the lid of the coffin was closed, a pair of eyes suddenly opened in the darkness without warning, rolling their eyeballs in the silent darkness, scanning the surroundings, and a pair of eyes revealed a strange ghostly light like a soul.

Immediately, the corpse closed its eyes, and silence regained in the darkness.

……

The country of demons far away from Konoha.

The top of the rooftop of the military office building.

Behind his left hand, the white stone in front of him with his right hand was quietly blowing the gentle breeze on the rooftop, blowing a white coat on his body.

He quietly watched as a wisp of flame stained with soul breath in the palm of his right hand quietly extinguished in the breeze, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but outline a smile.

In his eyes, a cold gray light flashed.

"Is the second generation of the water shadow ghost lantern phantom moon...... That's a good goal. It seems that this 'soul fragment' that has been thrown out will need to be silent for a while before it can be used. However, the reincarnation of the filthy earth is probably good news. ”

After all, he was also struggling with how to find a powerful soul and feed the child.

His child seems to have eaten a lot more lately.

And maybe he can use this to take himself a step further.

As he spoke, the space behind him began to distort.

The masked man with a kaleidoscope in his right eye and a three-hooked jade chakra eye in his left eye walked out of the void.

"Then, tell me the whole process of this operation, word for word."

This sentence seemed to be said to the masked man behind him, and it was like whispering to himself to the air in front of him.
