Chapter 253: Convergence
The faint light before dawn gradually whitened the sky, and there was a slight chill in the air.
On a wide stone platform in the fortress, the surrounding street lamps began to light up, making the platform brightly lit and completely dim.
Even in the early morning before dawn, the staff in the fortress had already started their work today, and the slight noise made the fortress feel a sense of isolation and tranquility.
According to the plan of the alliance army, at four o'clock this afternoon, they will go to the country of rain to gather, so Shiraishi and the others, who got up a little earlier than usual, have already stood on the platform.
Compared to the alliance army, which invested a total of fifty elite ninjas in the decapitation operation, the actions involved in the decapitation operation on the side of the Oni Country were much smaller, and even the participants were less than one-fifth of the total number of participants in the alliance army.
On the platform, there are only Shiraishi, Ruri, Ayane, and Yakura, who saw off the three of them.
Of course, there are also shadow dancers in the dark, who are also among the participants. But aside from the supernumerary Yakura, there are only four people involved in the bright side.
Speaking of which, is it really not necessary to bring a little more people over? You must know that on the side of the Alliance Army, in order to effectively complete the decapitation operation, it can be said that they have come out of the nest."
Yakura looked at the three Shiraishi who were waiting on the platform and gave a little mention.
Although the strength of the three of Shiraishi is very strong, there are always places that cannot be taken into account, and adding more people can also block a lot of trouble.
In response to Yakura's proposal, Shiraishi just replied with a smile: "In the next battle, ordinary ninja level ninjas can't participate, even in the fringe area, their lives are in danger."
The country of demons is not without powerful shinobi, such as Kakashi, Obito, and Rin, who are qualified to join this operation, but the three of them also have important tasks.
Moreover, let Rin join, if something happens on the battlefield, such as accidentally being sucked away by Nagato. Although the probability of such a thing happening is very small, Shiraishi has to guard against it. The country of demons has not yet lacked combat power to the point where it needs to involve the pillar force directly in such a dangerous decapitation mission.
"Don't worry, I'll go to the country of birds first, and Ichihime and Akako will also be brought with me, originally they were placed on the front line, but also to prevent Nagato's attack, but now that the decapitation operation is implemented, then, there is no need to defend like before."
With the three of them, plus the strength of Yiji and Akako, in the eyes of Shiraishi, it is enough to cooperate with the Alliance Army to carry out the beheading operation.
If this part of the Oni no Kuni's strength, coupled with the strength of the coalition army, is not able to thwart Nagato, then this war does not need to continue, and there may be a chance to surrender directly.
"What about Sasuke Uchiha? His words ......."
It's not time for him to support, you can't put all your forces into it at once, and the alliance army always needs to be defended."
Shiraishi never despises the enemy strategically, and the Oni no Kuni and the Alliance Army are not purely alliances, but use each other.
Since it's a use, you can't fully believe it, and you need to have spare strength to guard against the other party's sneak attack.
From the point of view of intelligence, the alliance army is also playing the same idea, not to invest all the strength at once, but to keep a hand in the secret, take it at a critical moment, and decide the winner.
After all, the accumulated strength of the two sides on the surface is more than enough to destroy Xiao, and continuing to increase investment will only startle the snake.
Yakura nodded, although he was still a little worried, but Shiraishi insisted so much, thinking that there were still hidden hands, otherwise he would not have dispatched such a few people, so he looked confident.
At this moment, there was a buzzing sound in the sky.
The sound of shaking the air, far louder than the noise made by the flying ninja, immediately attracted the attention of several people on the platform, and they all looked up at the dim sky.
Under the dim canopy, a huge figure flew at high speed, with flame-like exhaust fumes spraying behind it, and at an oblique downward angle, a straight white track was drawn in the dim sky, landing towards the platform.
Red metal body
The body reflected a cold and terrifying light, and when it landed, it was like a huge fireball that was blazing, and before it approached the ground, there was a hot breath blowing in the face, blowing away the clothes and hair of everyone on the platform.
Just when the red fireball was about to burst into the ground, bringing a huge explosion, suddenly, a chakra vibration wave erupted from the red figure's body, as if there was a pair of invisible big hands, pulling the invisible air around, the speed decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and when the mechanical soles hit the ground, it only blew away some dust, without bringing the rest of the turmoil, and without even making a sound, it landed smoothly.
"The fire has come, so let's go now."
As soon as the words fell, Shiraishi leaped into the air, followed by Ruri and Ayane, flying towards the palm of a mechanical hand the size of a house.
The border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Grass.
The contrast between the clear sky and the dim rainy weather is stark.
Before you enter the Land of Rain area, you can see the cloudy rain hanging over the Land of Rain from a distance, so that the further you go, the warmer the air becomes.
Looking at the dim canopy in front of him, he looked like a fierce beast that chose to devour people, waiting for the prey to take the initiative to come to the door and fall into the mouth of the giant beast.
Five figures sprang out of the forest, leaped over a river in the blink of an eye, and then gently kicked on the rocks, and appeared on a relatively tall hill around them.
One of them squatted down slightly, his fingers lightly pressed to the ground, his eyes closed, as if he was carefully sensing something.
Soon, his eyes opened, proving that the probing was complete.
"There is nothing wrong with the hundreds of kilometers around, and I didn't sense too strong chakra. It's just that in the underground in some places, there are some strange chakra reactions, which should be the white absolute mentioned by the Alliance Army, and you can bypass them when the time comes. At the speed of our march, they can't react."
The person who spoke was none other than the second Hokage Senjuma, who was the founder of many genres of Konoha and a perceptual ninja himself.
From his assertions, there is naturally no need for any questioning.
Then, he stood up from the ground, his gaze swept to the side, and his whole body was facing the white bandaged man Nishi Tsuchikage.
The other party also opened his own perceptual ninjutsu and matched it with his perceptual ninjutsu to form a terrible effect of double coverage.
Tsuchikagemu shook his head, indicating that there was no problem. The situation he perceived was exactly the same as that of the door. "The Land of Rain? It's a nasty climate."
The second-generation Wind Shadow Shamen coldly glanced at the rain curtain in the sky in front of him, and his face showed a hint of unhappiness.
As one of the originators of playing with sand, the most hated climate is this kind of rainy day that increases the burden of sand.
And the rain country rains from morning to night all day, and the number of sunny days every year is only a handful, and even the rainy season throughout the year is not impossible, and it is the rain country that annoys Shamen the most.
"Really? I don't hate this kind of weather."
The second generation of the water shadow ghost lantern Phantom Moon pressed his neck, how much Shamen hated the country of rain, how much he liked this kind of country full of rain.
This means that he casts a water escape, and while ensuring his power, the consumption of chakra will also be reduced a lot.
For him, it's like a fish in water.
You and the Hokage are the only ones among us who are the best at water escape, and since this is a favorable environment for you, it will be up to you to attract firepower at that time."
Nothing like that.
"I'm not against it, I'm already dead anyway, and it's not a big deal to die again." The second generation Ai clasped his hands into fists and agreed with Wu's proposal.
"That's a nice thing to say, the devil knows if the other party has ninjutsu against the reincarnation of the filthy earth. As far as I'm concerned, there are several ways to restrain the reincarnation of the filthy earth, not to mention that it belongs to the legendary reincarnation eye."
Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon was clearly not satisfied with this decision.
Originally, it was very unpleasant to be dug up when he died, but now he has to be used as a pawn for consumption to explore the way, which is simply unpleasant to the extreme.
"Hokage, can't you really kill the sorcerer who unleashed the reincarnation of the soil?
? For example, let's get rid of this method of being manipulated by the magician?"
Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon couldn't help but ask.
The eyebrows without eyebrows, jumping and wrinkling, obviously lack patience.
He was also a hero before his death, and being used by a despicable villain like this is simply humiliating his dignity as a water shadow.
He shook his head and replied, "Impossible, the Filthy Earth Reincarnation Technique is a technique that I pioneered, and once it is chosen, no matter in any way, it cannot be freed. In the same way, I didn't expect to be controlled by my own magic after I died, so when I was developing it, I didn't leave any way back." "Really?"
The ghost lantern phantom moon and several people all showed disbelief on their faces, and looked at the door with suspicious eyes.
As opponents who have fought for many years in the same era, they dare not say that they are all familiar with each other, but there are still seven or eight points.
They think there's something crucial hidden between the doors and don't want to share it with them. The face of the door was indifferent, and he put on a posture that he didn't want to deal with.
"Cut."
A few people cut it, knowing the way to get liberation from the door, and the chances were slim. After all, the user of this technique is now a ninja of Konoha, and Kazuma is the Hokage of Konoha, so the thing itself is a little weird.
At this moment, there was movement behind him, and figures appeared at the bottom of the hill, using the hill as a cover to cover the advancing figure.
In addition to the fifty elite ninjas screened by the alliance army, there are also three generations of Hokage and other filthy earth reincarnated ninjas, who also appeared in the team, scattered around, protecting the team. "Let's go."
He glanced back, then turned around and ran forward, continuing to bury his head in. The rest of the second generation of eyes and four shadows had no choice but to follow, continue to explore the way ahead, and clear mines for the rear personnel.
....--Rain Castle.
As one of the few key cities in the Land of Rain, it is also the most important transit point for trade routes in the Land of Rain, with a population of nearly 200,000. Although it is not much lower than the central cities of the other major countries, it is one of the most prosperous cities in the Land of Rain.
But now, this once prosperous commercial and populous city has long been empty with the outbreak of war.
The streets are even more deserted, without any pedestrians, and the shops on both sides are all blocked, except for the rain falling and splashing.
The whole city was shrouded in torrential rain, like an isolated and isolated city.
Dressed in raincoats, the Alliance Army found an abandoned factory as a temporary base in an uninhabited city and rested in it.
The distance between Amami Castle and Amagain Village is not very far, and it doesn't take an hour to reach it with the speed of a ninja's foot and full force.
In other words, for everyone in the Alliance Army, Yuyin Village, which is the stronghold of Xiao's headquarters, is already close at hand.
Next, you only need to meet with the people of the Oni Country, and you can go straight to Yuyin and carry out a beheading operation against Xiao.
At the same time, the two main forces of the Grass Country and the Fire Country, under the impetus of the Wing Commander, pushed forward the battle line with all their might, in order to cover their actions and avoid being discovered by Xiao in advance.
At present, this small tactical country is very good, all the way deep into the hinterland of the country of rain, and it has perfectly avoided the detection of Bai Jue.
The second-generation five shadows still maintain their previous work, monitoring in the outermost places to avoid surprise attacks on their positions.
The reconnaissance work is mainly based on the perception ninjutsu of the second generation Hokage Senju and the second generation of Tsuchikage Mu, which doubles covering every corner of Amami Castle, no matter where the enemy is, it can be locked at the first time and sent people to annihilate it.
"Three generations of grandfathers."
While the rest of the people were waiting, Naruto took the initiative to find the third Hokage Hichi.
The third generation of Hichi, who was communicating with Shuo Shigeru or something, saw Naruto coming, and a rather relieved smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
"It's Naruto, I couldn't believe at first that you were able to tame the Nine-Tails in your body, a feat that Mito-sama couldn't accomplish back then."
As the Hokage of Konoha, Hizashi naturally knows the terrifying nature of the Nine-Tails
Place.
Even in his peak period, he could only resist the Nine-Tails for a while.
The chakra, which is equivalent to a natural disaster, has been attributed to Konoha for two consecutive years to tame the Nine-Tails, but ultimately failed. Jiu Sinai paid with his life for this.
"Actually, there are many reasons for this, and if it's just me, I can't tame it."
There was no pride in Naruto's tone, he knew that the reason why he was able to tame the Nine-Tails was because everyone helped together.
With Kirabi's guidance, his mother's sealing assistance, and finally his father's gift from Watergate, if he was alone, he would not be able to resist the incomparable darkness alone.
"No matter what, your current achievements have surpassed the sages of Konoha in the past, and even Lord Tsuruma did not have the strength of you when he was young."
While the day is relieved, the mood is also very complicated. For Naruto, there is undoubtedly a lot he owes.
Whatever the reason, his failure to fulfill the dying instructions of the Watergate couple is a dereliction of duty.
All the things that happened after his death, he had learned from Tsunade.
Especially knowing that Tuan Zang is now using the art of reincarnation in the filthy earth to assist the alliance forces in the battle, it makes Hinata even more worried.
This old friend's thoughts, he really can't see through it more and more.
"By the way, let me introduce you to the one next to me, he is the Konoha White Fang who has made countless contributions to Konoha, and he is also ...... Kakashi's father."
Hinata introduced Shuo Shigeru beside Naruto, and when he mentioned "Kakashi", his already gloomy eyes were even more gloomy.
"Kakashi-sensei's father?"
Naruto looked at Shuo Mao's eyes carefully, and sure enough, there was a familiar feeling, the image of the other party was too similar to Kakashi.
Especially the iconic short knife on the back, and it's all silver-white hair.
"Hello."
Shuo Shige nodded kindly at Naruto, smiling kindly. "I'm sorry, Kakashi-sensei
Naruto lowered his head at this time, like a child who had made a mistake and was waiting for punishment.
"It doesn't have to be like this." Shuo Mao smiled, "I've already learned about it from three generations of adults and Tsunade. This is the grievance of our previous generation, and it has nothing to do with you. As a Konoha ninja, I have my own insistence, since Kakashi has his own path, let him go, I'm his father, but I don't have the power to decide the rest of his life......
The smile is a little reluctant, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't matter.
The son denied his own path, and also denied Konoha, and even became a traitor and became the murderer of the three generations of Hokage...... This made Shuo Mao's feelings very complicated when he learned about it.
Especially when he learned that his son embarked on this path was guided by his own students after the death of his teacher, his feelings were even more strange.
He never imagined that there would be so many unexpected changes in the ninja world after his death. The reason why so many changes have happened in the ninja world in the past twenty years is that his three students can be said to have contributed a lot.
The Third Shinobi War assists Iwakure in declaring war on Konoha. United Akatsuki plotted to kill the four Hokage couples of Konoha .
In the first battle of the Land of Wind, he stepped on the throne of Sha Yin and Konoha and captured Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, and forced the three generations of Hokage to abolish the wanted list for treason at the Five Shadows Conference.
Later, it set off a small civil war in various parts of the ninja world, making the country of ghosts the sixth great country, and shrouding the entire ninja world in the shadow of the country of ghosts.
The Fourth Ninja World War defeated the Four Nations Alliance and wiped out Mt. Myoki, one of the Three Holy Lands. Just before the outbreak of the Fifth Ninja World War, Konoha was secretly tossed back and forth by the three of them once, and suffered heavy losses.
It is said that his friend Jilai also died in Yuyin, and there are traces of their secret planning, which clearly arranges the final journey of a three-ninja's life.
When Shuo Mao heard this information at that time, he was directly stunned.
He knew that his three students were more naughty when they were in the White Fang Squad, but fortunately
Sex is not bad, and the future must be the pillar of Konoha talent. Even the most ordinary-looking white stone is not as simple as it seems. But I didn't expect that after my death, I would defect directly to Konoha and before leaving, I also lifted the roof of Konoha and took away a group of Uchiha and Hyuga clansmen.
If it weren't for the three generations of Hokage and Tsunade personally admitting it, he would have thought that someone was joking with him.
No wonder the second Hokage looked at him with such complicated eyes yesterday, and he stopped talking a few times. Cultivating such an "excellent" three students, Konoha is really "lucky" in three lives.
The three students were so good that even the teacher with him gained fame more than once after his death, although most of them had a negative reputation.
If the person who praised his three students could circle Konoha ten times, then the person who cursed his three students for not dying well could circle Konoha a hundred times.
Chiba Shiraishi, this name has become the most terrifying symbol in the history of the ninja world.
"Honor' At this point, Shuo Mao didn't want to say anything, just wanted to find a place to calm down.
At this moment, the second Hokage and the second generation Tsuchikagena, who were originally on guard on the perimeter, suddenly raised their heads, as if they had noticed something, and said to the people in the factory, "It's here."
Everyone who was still resting immediately stopped resting, flashed quickly outside the factory, gathered around the second generation of five shadows, and raised their heads to look at the dark and rainy sky.
A huge fireball pierced the pitch-black sky and flew towards the city. "Oh, that's a big guy."
Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon laughed out loud in an exaggerated tone, looking relaxed and freehand, as if she didn't take that kind of thing in her eyes.
"The weapons of today seem to have innovated a lot, and they are completely different from our time." The second-generation Wind Shadow Shamen is thoughtful.
The rest of the people also had different expressions, most of them in surprise and shock.
When the fireball was still dozens of meters away from the ground, the surrounding rain was evaporated by the hot energy, and the humidity brought by the rain completely dissipated, and the air was filled with a warm feeling.
As a ripple that shook the air spread out in the sky, the fireball that had stagnated in the sky suddenly turned into a red beam of light and fell down in the open space more than ten meters in front of the Alliance Army.
Rumble!
It didn't smash the ground open, but it did make an explosion.
The terrifying shock wave followed the landing of the fireball, wantonly venting to the surroundings, mixed with suffocating scorching energy, as if deliberately, without worrying about whether the ninjas of the Alliance Army were still nearby, whether they would be affected, and landed in such a violent way.
The flames burning on the surface of the metal body began to compress and recover from the inside of the metal body, and the air that had been curved around it slowly returned to its original shape, allowing people to see the huge objects inside the fireball.
The massive object was as large as a hill and resembled a humanoid, but the torso was a large red metal ball, and in the center of the ball, there was a hollow groove that perfectly fit a red jade the size of a human head, making it look like a core control device.
Its head is a semi-circular sphere, with purely mechanical ear holes, and from time to time it spews out white steam, which is a bit suffocating.
Compared to the bloated torso and head, the limbs appear to be slender, but the palms and soles of the feet are very large.
In particular, the palm of the hand, like the meat palm of a cat that is fully propped up, aside from the softness of the meat palm, the appearance is very similar, and it can be used for people to stand.
At this time, there were three people standing on the left hand of this massive mechanical body, and two people standing on the right hand, and there was still a lot of space left.
The whole body of the huge machine is fiery red, and the same color dye is smeared on it to create a flame pattern, but the color of the dye painted on this part is darker, so it can distinguish the color of the dye from the original color of the metal.
Standing on the ground, this huge machine resembles a burning fireball, and just looking at it from afar, one can't help but be in awe.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but we shouldn't be late."
Standing on the left palm of the mechanical body, Shiroshi condescendingly glanced at the ground
After a while, he said hello with a smile on his face.
