Chapter 257: The dove occupies the magpie's nest

In the spacious room where the personnel of the Intelligence Department and the General Staff Department are gathered, the ninjas of the Intelligence Department, led by Konoha Kamishinobi Yamiyama Haiyi and Kirigami Shinobi Aoi, are making unremitting efforts to communicate with the troops of all sides, basically exchanging information every fifteen minutes or half an hour, so as to ensure that there are no problems in each unit.

Even if the enemy launches an attack, the intelligence department can receive the information as soon as possible and let the staff of the staff make strategic deployments.

In addition, the headquarters has been built like an iron bucket by tens of thousands of alliance ninjas, and there are also tens of thousands of main forces of the alliance army in the north and west, and the intelligence department and staff department located in the rear can be said to be impregnable.

But in this way, the task that falls on them is no less onerous. Sleepless days and nights are the norm.

At its worst, it was necessary to work overtime for two days and two nights in a row, and it was out of a state of consuming chakra all the time, and if there was no replenishment, even a ninja would die of exhaustion.

Moreover, in addition, the elite troops on the front line, led by Wuying, are carrying out decapitation operations, in this case, no matter how unwilling the Intelligence Department and the General Staff are, they have to hold on at this time.

Think about the benefits, and all the results, by the dawn of tomorrow, will have an answer. Regardless of which side emerges victorious in the end, the war will not drag on for long.

However, according to a war forecast report made by the General Staff based on the combat effectiveness of all sides, it seems that the victory rate of the Union Army is greater at present.

Although the country of demons has strong combat power, the strongest power is mainly concentrated in a very small number of ninjas. Xiao is the same, in addition to Nagato, there is also the ten-tailed body that does not know the depth, and the thing called the Outer Dao Golem, there is no combat power that can resist the alliance army.

In the case of an alliance army that does not use the Tainted Earth Reincarnation tactics, the situation may be very bad, and there is no chance of victory, but after joining the Tainted Earth Reincarnation Ninja, this is a double-edged sword that can reverse all disadvantages.

The reason for the double-edged sword, Lu Jiu is still a little worried that Tuanzang will make unpredictable actions at a critical moment. After all, this root leader, during the reign of the three generations of Hokage, had a lot of criminal records.

"Is Shikakugami Shinobu worried about the battle ahead?"

Azabui saw that Lu Jiu's face was dull, and after scribbling dinner, he had been preoccupied, so that people didn't know what he was thinking. "Isn't Azabu Ijoshinobu worried?"

Lu Jiu came back to his senses, did not answer the rhetorical question, and looked at Yun Yin, the young lady of the think tank.

To be honest, with the other party's mind, as well as the heavenly sending technique of transferring materials anytime and anywhere, in the past ninja world wars, it can produce a strong deterrent and effect that is not weaker than the five shadows.

It's a pity that in this war, in addition to the conventional battles of the middle and lower class ninjas, there are also high-tech battles, and the monster-level ninjas are even more stormy, gathered together, and Azabuyi's original excellent ability also seems powerless.

This feeling has been experienced more than once by the deer for a long time.

The last time I experienced it was the Fourth Ninja World War, when I confronted the country of ghosts.

The tactics that he came up with with all his brains were dismantled by the other party with violence, simple and rude, and the terrifying military force that crushed all strategies and countermeasures with an upright and upright division made Lu Jiu feel that his Konoha brain was useless.

From that time on, Shikaku understood that no matter how easy his brain was, it was not as good as the enemy's steel cannon, and it was not as good as the ninja who was like a mobile scourge.

This era is changing rapidly, whether it is the form of ninja warfare, or the state system, or everyone's self-awakening, it is changing all the time.

Obviously, the alliance army has gathered such a huge force, and Lu Jiu still has a feeling of uneasiness. There is no reason for this feeling, it is just pure intuition.

Lu Jiu knew that this was his natural fear of the drastic changes of the times, and he could only watch and not be able to participate in it. Until the Five Shadows left, this worry still couldn't be eliminated from Lu Jiu's heart.

"There are so many things to worry about, I don't know which one Shikakugami Shinobu is talking about?" Azabuyi replied flatly, judging from her tone, she seemed to be completely relieved, and even a wry smile appeared on her face, "Honestly, we can participate in the next battle

There are so few places. As a think tank, wisdom is not helpful to the core battlefield, and can only deal with some trivial matters.

They are all ninjas who assist the shadow of a village, and they dare not say that one person is above ten thousand people in the village, but in terms of status, there is not much difference.

How can they be depressed when they should have existed as the core figures in the war, but now they have been reduced to marginal figures? "I thought Azabu Ijoshinobu didn't care about it."

"It's just that I don't want to lose face in front of the boss, anyway, the leaders have handed over the rear to us to operate, which is also a kind of trust in our ability."

Azabui's ability to regulate her mood is quick.

Shangnin, who is competent for the work of the assistant officer of the shadow, is also the top in terms of psychological resistance. Even in many cases, they see things more rationally than films.

As the guide of the village, Shadow sometimes inevitably has to be emotional and win people's hearts, but they definitely can't. Lu Jiu nodded, no objection.

The operation of the large rear cannot be said to be unimportant, but the criterion of victory is no longer transferred by the victory of the rest of the divisions on the battlefield. The important thing is the core battlefield, that is, the battlefield on the side of the rain country.

"Moreover, if the battlefield on this side can be won, even if the Rain Country side loses, we will eventually have room to maneuver. After all, you can't kill all the ninjas you keep so many."

Azabui said something like that.

And as long as the ninjas of the alliance army can't kill them all, the country of demons must throw a rat trap and give the alliance army room to back down within the limited regulations. Otherwise, so many ninjas are out of control***, which is enough to turn the entire ninja world upside down.

In the same way, as long as the living forces of the Oni Country are not completely annihilated, even if their military leaders die in the Battle of the Rain Country and suffer heavy losses, the Oni Country is still eligible to negotiate with the Alliance Army.

"Forget about this kind of thing, although our side has the advantage of numbers, but now is not the time when numbers determine the outcome of a war." Lu Jiu didn't take Abuyi's words seriously, knowing that her words were just a joke.

In Lu Jiu's opinion, the best way at the moment is to completely mediate the war here, and just wait for the end of the war in the Land of Rain, so as to avoid the maximum casualties.

Because unlike the White Absolute Army, fighting head-on with the Ghost Country, Lu Jiu already has a psychological shadow. When I was in the country of birds, I was imprisoned by the country of ghosts, and the memories of not being able to move are still vivid.

He didn't think that with the advantage of numbers, he could defeat the country of ghosts.

Azabui didn't argue, what Lu Jiu said was the truth, in the previous battle, the destructive power displayed by the air force of the Oni Country was very terrifying, and it only took one night to blow up a quarter of the land of the Bird Country, and in less than two days, it annihilated tens of thousands of Bai Jue with an average strength of the middle ninja.

Such an extravagant and wasteful saturation blow is, in Mabuyi's opinion, simply mad. But at the same time, I was also flustered by the exaggerated military logistics of the ghost *** side.

It is hard to imagine how much military supplies have grown to be able to fire shells in this way and to reserve and mobilize military supplies for this war.

Obviously, their side is the union of great powers.

"Next, let's wait for news from the Land of Rain while keeping an eye on the rest of the battlefield. Although the war will end after this night, I don't think the country of ghosts will wait so obediently for the war to end."

Shikaku sighed.

In other words, the stage of mutual confrontation is over, and when the covenant is dissolved, it will be a real battle.

Even if there is no news from the front, Shikaku can guess that the main force of the Oni Country has begun to assemble and launch a charge attack on the alliance army at any time. Even ······ Already on the way here.

Azabui nodded, and was about to speak—

"It's one of the two brains of the Alliance, but even if you guess it, there's no point."

An unfamiliar voice from out of nowhere made the faces of all the Alliance soldiers in the room look shocked, and some of the ninjas who reacted quickly had already stood up and made a move.

It's a pity that it's still slow. As soon as the lights went out.

A brilliant and fierce thunderbolt flashed in the darkness. "Ahh

The screams rose and fell to each other, followed by the sound of people falling. "What's wrong?"

"Qing, you—"

When the lights were turned on again, Lu Jiu and the others were all wrapped with dense thunder and lightning, completely paralyzing their bodies, and they were even reluctant to speak.

Even if you can speak, you can't shout too loudly.

The nerves of the whole body did not obey the call, and they fell to the ground and convulsed.

What made Lujiu and Azabuyi's eyes widen even more was that the Kirigami Shinobi who had originally cooperated with Haiyi's work, didn't know what was crazy, and directly pounced on Haiyi and other intelligence department ninjas, and knocked them out by surprise.

Such a sudden scene, I saw that Lu Jiu and Ma Buyi's brains began to shut down, and I don't know what medicine this Misty Hidden Shinobi took wrong, and how to do it to his own people.

Immediately, Lu Jiu looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in the room, with silver hair, and a short knife with lightning in his hand, and was smiling at him at this time, and said hello to him cordially.

"Yo, Lu Jiu, long time no see." 「······ Kakashi, how could you be dumbfounded.

What's going on? How did Kakashi end up here? How did he get in? And green... ...

Suddenly, there was a burst in his head, as if he suddenly understood something, and his body stiffened.

Just as Shikaku was about to say something, the space around Kakashi distorted, spiraling ripples through the air, and a man and a woman stepped out of the twisted air.

"Kakashi, you're still moving so fast."

The man, who was about the same age as Kakashi, pressed his neck, which seemed to be a little sore, and his right eye was a kaleidoscope writing wheel eye that was detached from the basic pattern of Magatama, and his left eye was a normal three-hook jade writing wheel eye, and the pupil technique of his right eye was maintaining the operation of the space behind him.

"Are you ······?" Lu Jiu's heart sank.

This time, the other party was not wearing a mask, so Lu Jiu could see the other party's face very clearly.

It was three months ago that he assisted Sasuke to intercept the mysterious Uchiha ninja of the ninja force led by the Hokage, and in the end it was he who took Uchiha Sasuke away from Konoha safely, causing Konoha to suffer huge losses.

The other party's pupil technique is the art of time and space that makes people elusive.

Nebe guesses his identity, suspected Uchiha Obito who disappeared in the Third Ninja War. In addition, the female Lu Jiu in a white coat next to him is also very familiar.

Nohara Rin.

is also a Konoha ninja who disappeared in the Third Ninja World War, and one of the students of the previous Hokage wave Feng Shui Gate Shangninja period.

For her sake, Konoha even went to war with Takikure directly because of the problem of the Seven Tails. After that, her parents also mysteriously disappeared from Konoha Village, and their fate is unknown.

In this way, the meaningless speculation came to an end, and many doubts suddenly cleared up in Lu Jiu's heart. But it seems to ······ It's too late to understand this now.

He saw a Oni no Kuni ninja wearing chakra armor rushing out from the distorted time and space behind Obito, and with lightning speed, he controlled the fallen staff and intelligence ninjas.

The rope tied to their bodies completely suppressed the chakra in their bodies. Moreover, the material of the rope is also very tough, and it is impossible to break it with brute force.

The group of them were thrown into the corner, and due to their physical weakness, their movements were restricted, and the chakra was also blocked, and they could only stare at the group of Ninjas of the Oni Country who appeared.

Other than that, they can't do anything.

Of course, among them, there are also two ninjas from the staff department, who are not controlled, but cooperate with the work of the ninjas of the country of ghosts, guarding the ninjas of the alliance army.

Seeing this, the alliance ninjas still don't understand that the fog has betrayed.

Or rather, they weren't part of the Alliance Army from the beginning, but an ally of the Oni Country.

I'm afraid Obito, Kakashi and the others are so smooth

They have a share of the credit for infiltrating the Union Army headquarters and bypassing all the early warning enchantments and patrol units.

It's over. There was only one thought in Shikaku's mind.

"Don't have to put on such a face, we don't have the habit of mistreating captives on our side. As long as you stay here, your lives won't be in danger, I can guarantee that."

Kakashi walked over and saw the unnatural look on Shikaku's face, and spoke in relief. Although this kind of talk is not a relief at all.

Anyone can see that with the headquarters under control, every move of the Alliance Army next falls into the eyes of the Oni Country. No, there's something worse.

After helping the ninjas of the Oni Country to control the ninja of the Intelligence Department, he returned to his post and continued to maintain the operation of the perception barrier and communicate with various units of the Alliance Army.

In addition, there are several other Oni no Kuni ninjas who also sit around the Perception Ball, and the seal is responsible for the operation of the Perception Barrier and assists Qing in his work.

"How is it possible, you're using—"

At this time, Haiyi, who came to his senses, looked at one of the Oni Ninja in horror, and the other party was sitting in the same seat as he was before. The other party not only simulated his chakra, but also used the perceptual ninjutsu to produce an incomparably perfect connection with the perceptual ball.

In this way, the other party can not only simulate his voice, liaise with various units, and issue orders, but also not be suspected by the captains of each unit, making people believe that he is the captain of the intelligence unit of the Alliance Army, Kaichi Yamanaka.

"Where did you learn the secret art of the Mountain Clan?" Haiyi's face darkened.

"Haiyi, don't you think that the family you belong to is a bucket of iron?" Kakashi played with the white-toothed short knife in his hand, and asked a faint rhetorical question, leaving Haiichi speechless. Of course, the people of the mountains are not iron buckets.

Otherwise, there will be no radicals in the family who take refuge in the roots, such as Yamanaka Stroke, who is one of the arms of the Danaka Clan, is the elite Shangnin of the Yamanaka clan, not only that, but Yamanaka Wind has also gathered a group of people in the family to fund the roots of the Tuanzang and help it grow.

This part of the clan is extremely dissatisfied with the appeasement policy carried out by the past three generations of Hokage, and they urgently need a hard-line Hokage to take the stage.

In addition, there are clansmen who unite with the rest of the clan to form an internal alliance of interests against Hokage like Tsunade who is trying to reform Konoha in order to protect the family. This part of the clan is most deeply involved with the Ape Fei clan.

It's just that Hai Yi didn't expect that among the several factions that were divided, there were still factions that colluded with the country of ghosts······ This is something he never expected.

"Tsunade-sama is indeed a good Hokage, and she dares to act, but the strategy she executes is already infringing on the interests of the ninja clan. The same interests are damaged, why not choose the country of ghosts that is stronger and more credible? At the very least, after contributing to the family's secret arts, they can also get more compensation, and they can also be protected by the country of demons, which is more powerful than the Hokage, and keep the family's flame from being extinguished."

Kakashi asked with a smile.

Every word was like a hammer, smashing into Haiyi's heart, making him almost suffocate.

"Ninja ······ Ninja ····· Since it's a family, it won't be based on the will of the individual, and it's not something that you support the Hokage, even if this person is the patriarch."

「......「

Hai Yi's face was dull and he couldn't speak. "Haiyi, don't be provoked by him."

Lu Jiu comforted him, but Hai Yi still couldn't accept it, his face was still dull, and he didn't hear Lu Jiu's comfort. Shikaku sighed and shook his head.

The Yamanaka clan is still like this, but what about the Nara clan and the Akido clan who are allied with it?

You must know that the three clans of pigs, deer and butterflies have been advancing and retreating together since the Warring States Period, saying that they are three clans, but many times, they are not separated from each other. Even today, that's true.

Some of the factions of the Yamanaka clan did not want to sink with the ship of Konoha and provided the family secret art to the country of ghosts in order to secure the future, so some of the factions of the Nara clan and the Akido clan wanted to do the same thing.

It's just that it's very hidden, and even their patriarchs don't notice the abnormality.

Family ······ Family ······ As Kakashi said, the will of the ninja clan is never based on the individual, but on the interests of the family as a whole. When the Hokage wants to touch the bottom line of a ninja, it will inevitably attract the most fierce resistance.

And under the trade-off of interests, they found that if they took refuge in the country of ghosts, although some of their interests would be damaged, they seemed to get a lot, so they decisively contacted the country of ghosts.

At least in terms of credibility, the country of ghosts has always adhered to the contract over the years, never violated it, allies suffered, and troops would immediately send troops to support, and the countries that cooperated with it have gained a lot of benefits on the whole.

Compared to a Hokage who can't even unify Konoha, the Minister of War who is above 10,000 people under the Oni Country, his promises and guarantees are indeed more weighty.

Judging purely by reason, if you are in the ground, Lu Jiu will also make such a choice····· Not to mention the widows of the family. They are old, but they are not blind.

"At first, I didn't understand what the man was thinking, but now I understand a little bit, Tsunade-sama was an opportunity for Konoha at that time······ But also a bomb that detonates the inside. The more you want to change from within, the more you will lead some people into the arms of the Oni Country. When Tsunade-sama returned to Konoha to succeed the Hokage, the rift in Konoha was not only not repaired, but further expanded. The three of you have worked hard in this regard."

Kakashi looked at Shikaku and Kaichi, thinking of Dingza, who was still undergoing surgery, and it was meaningful.

In Konoha, the ninja clan was exterminated, not without precedent.

The butcher's knife of the three generations of Hokage and Danzo had not yet been put away, and the smell of blood in the air was enough to make them chill. The closer the three of them got to the Hokage and helped the Hokage centralize power, the more the remnants of the three clans of the pig, deer and butterfly clans became afraid of the Hokage.

They are afraid that the three of them will become the next Uchiha Itachi and aim their butcher knives at the family. Because with the clash of contradictions, neutrality simply does not exist.

"Uchiha ·····. "

Lu Jiu spit out these three words from his mouth with difficulty, and the spirit and spirit of his whole body were withdrawn. This is a pain that Konoha can never get around.

Let the ninja who were originally honest and duty, all of them be in danger, and began to infiltrate the village, using the power of the ninja to gather power, they don't want to become fat meat on the chopping board.

Whatever the cause of the incident, it is already a fact that the ninja no longer trust the Hokage's ability to govern.

If someone tells you that you can save the ninja clan at this time of confusion, but you need to pay some price, then the family elder secretly makes a confession, which is also an obvious answer.

What's more, the high-level of the country of ghosts still has a deep connection with Konoha.

If in this war, the country of ghosts is victorious and the alliance army is defeated, the three clans can be protected after the war, and the foundation is still there. If the alliance forces win, they only need to sacrifice themselves, and they can also save their families and dissociate themselves from the country of ghosts. After all, they don't do anything superfluous except for the occult trade.

"Rest assured, as a condition of the transaction, your lives will be secured. Next..."

Kakashi put the White Fang dagger behind his back and turned his head to look at Aowa and the group of oni ninjas who maintained the perceptual barrier, who were taking over the work of the Alliance Army's intelligence forces, and had already made contact with the various wings.

「······ The command of the Alliance Army's attack is up to us." In the room, Kakashi's voice could be heard.
