54 The Hunter and the Prey
After sending Bo Feng Shuimen and Shizune away, Tsunade maintained a high degree of nervousness, and after several days of continuous wits and courage with the air, he got the news that Kaguya Ren had already left from Konoha's intelligence officers, and because of this, he was incompetent and furious and broke the big defense, not to mention for the time being, but the high-level officials of Konoha were really shocked by the news that Bo Feng Shuimen brought back.
Regarding the strength shown by the fog hidden on the frontal battlefield, the high-level leaders of Konoha were actually not too worried.
Although the Fog Hidden side seemed to be attacking fiercely on the surface, and their cruel practice of not leaving prisoners on the battlefield made the front-line combatants can't help but be afraid, but through the number of corpses recovered by each side on the battlefield, it can be easily found that the number of dead in the Fog Hidden Ninja far exceeds the number of Konoha side.
So suddenly, the high-level leaders of Konoha settled down.
The population and number of ninjas in the fog are the least among the five major countries, and even if Konoha has experienced a series of battles with Iwakuin and Yunyin, the number of existing ninjas is still much more than that of the fog.
In the case of the already numerical gap between the two sides, the inferior side still has a higher proportion of battle losses, and if it weren't for the sudden emergence of Kaguya Ren who can fight against Bo Feng Shuimen and Uzumaki Kushina, the high-ranking people of Konoha would not know what a stupid mistake they had to make to lose this war.
It can be said that in the eyes of the Konoha higher-ups, Kaguya is the only person who has the potential to bring variables to the outcome of the war between Konoha and Kirigakure.
And now, this dangerous guy actually left behind the responsibility of shouldering the fog hidden frontal battlefield and ran to the core area of the Fire Nation alone......
Decapitation tactics, definitely for the execution of decapitation tactics!
So, under the order of the three generations of Hokage apes to fly the sun, the ninjas of the shadows poured out of the nest and began to search for the suspected target in the territory of the Fire Country.
And as the only one who could sense Kaguya's whereabouts, Bo Feng Shuimon, regardless of the persuasion of the mountain Haruto, forcibly dragged the sick body to join the search team, constantly perceiving the Flying Thunder Divine Technique on Kaguya's body, in case he quietly infiltrated Konoha Honmura.
But what puzzled the ninjas of Konoha was that in the trajectory of Kaguya's movements, there was no intention of approaching Konoha Honmura at all, but he went all the way north, towards the northern border of the Fire Country......
"Hmph, I see, this trajectory of action, it turns out to be what it means......"
"Orochimaru, I don't remember that I shared the information I got from Hizai with you in order to hear you say these boring riddles."
Shimura Danzo tapped the ground with his cane with some irritability, and looked at Orochimaru, who understood something by himself, with an unkind face.
"Hehe, don't be in a hurry, Tuan Zang...... It was also based on his course of action in the last few days that I could see what he wanted to do. ”
Orochimaru clapped his hands, drew a red circle on the map provided by the root, narrowed his narrow eyes into a chilling slit, and said with a cold smile:
"Tian no Kuni, Kaguya's final destination, most likely will be this area of Tian no Kuni."
"Why are you so sure, Orochimaru?"
"That's a bit of my personal secret, but if you're willing to send out the Root Masters to hunt down our lovely Misty Friends with me, I wouldn't consider sharing this secret with you...... I don't know what you think, Tuanzang? ”
A mysterious smile hung on Orochimaru's face, and he threw the question back to Shimura Danzo, who had fallen behind in terms of intelligence, and after thinking for a while, Shimura Danzo used his cane to slam the ground and coldly responded to Orochimaru's invitation:
"Yes, I'll have the best ninjas in the root fight with you, but once the target is captured, I need to get all of your research data, from your previous human experiments to all your future research on Kaguya's body cells...... I want them all, get it, Orochimaru? ”
"What an appetite, Danzo...... Yes, I agree to your conditions, but I have a request, that is, you will also go with me to participate in this hunt, and if you agree, I can pay you a part of the human experiment data that you do not have as a deposit. ”
Orochimaru wasn't surprised by Shimura Danzo's lion's big mouth, because he also knew very well that it would be difficult for him to capture Kaguya Ren alive who defeated Bo Feng Shuimon on his own, and since he wanted to borrow the root's people to be cannon fodder for himself, then he must make appropriate concessions to the leader of the root, Danzo.
“…… In that case, then the old man will accompany you on a trip, Orochimaru. ”
At this moment, Shimura Danzo is not the pathological careerist who can hide in the underground base of the root even if the village is in danger of destruction, he still has a strong ambition and action, constantly haunting various countries, stirring up the situation in the entire ninja world.
It is precisely because his body is still in its heyday, so even if he knows the true situation of the defeat of Uzumaki Kushina, Shimura Danzou still has a lot of confidence, and he feels that he has the ability to defeat Kaguya, who is just a hairy boy.
"Hehe, then, happy cooperation, Tuanzang."
Orochimaru smiled and stretched out his pale and cold hands, and shook them together with Shimura Danzo's old but also unwarm hands.
……
Five days later.
Standing in front of the waterfall in the Valley of the End on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Heaven, looking up at the huge statue standing between Madara Uchiha and the Senju Pillar of the original Hokage, Kaguya put his hands together and silently paid his respects to these two predecessors who pacified the troubled times of the Warring States.
Although one of these two is dead and alive, deceived by a ridiculous lie, and has calculated countless times in the end, they all become other people's wedding dresses, and the other is not at peace when he dies, and the cells in his body are taken out over and over as plug-ins, and the will that he has passed down has gradually deviated from the original direction because of the incompetence of his successor......
However, after all, they are the pioneers who changed the pattern of the complete ninja world and brought the ninja world into a new era.
It is worth Kaguya's mercy, a junior who also intends to bring change and unity to the entire ninja world, to maintain the necessary respect for them.
After paying homage to this sacred place, which has been the site of the final battle of the protagonists of the era many times, Kaguya Ren jumped down from the statue between the pillars and prepared to continue his march in the direction of Tanokuni.
A few minutes later, several inconspicuous insects landed in the hands of a masked man a few kilometers away, and began to convey to him what he had just seen.
"It seems that Orochimaru is right, that Kaguya Ren is indeed heading for a certain place in the country of Tano......"
"Go and inform Tuanzang-sama that the target has been found, and you can start gathering people and preparing for the hunt in the future."
A large net scattered along the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Fields began to gradually close.
The prey that has fallen into the net, but still knows nothing about it......
The outcome of this hunt is already doomed.
Sincere.
Looking at the big snake that was nailed to the trunk of the tree with a ten-finger bullet from his hand, the corners of Kaguya's mouth slowly outlined a playful smile.
"Hehe, tonight's snack looks quite hearty......"
