There was no suspense in the battle and it ended quickly.

The enemy's powerful firepower was blocked by the four Susanohs, and no amount of bullets and artillery fire could hurt the Uchiha clan in the slightest.

And when the two sides closed the distance, a hundred elite ninjas of the Uchiha solved the knights in less than a moment.

And the steel fortress was captured.

The fortress can move quickly underground, and with great firepower, it can be said to be a mobile military fortress.

It's exactly what the Uchiha clan needs right now.

With this fortress, the Uchiha clan's mobility has increased again, and they can quickly travel to any place in the ninja world at any time to achieve strategic transfer.

This means that no matter how many troops the five ninja villages gather, it is impossible to form an effective encirclement and suppression of the Uchiha.

From now on.

The Uchiha clan will occupy the absolute initiative in this war against the entire ninja world.

Seeing the Uchiha defeat the enemy, He Yan once again felt a deep shock.

"Lord Fuyue, I really don't know how to thank you...... he walked up to Fuyue and said very worriedly.

When Fu Yue heard this, he just glanced at He Yan lightly, and the scarlet kaleidoscope burst out with fierce light.

“！”

He Yan was suddenly shocked, his spirit fell into a trance, and it took a while before he returned to reality.

He fell for Fuyue's illusion and was read by the other party.

"The Uchiha clan saved you twice, but you reneged on your promise and betrayed us to Danzou and Konoha. Is there anything else you would like to say? ”

Fu Yue looked at He Yan expressionlessly and said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the iron fire on the side pulled out the ninja knife with a bang, and put the blade glowing with cold light on He Yan's neck.

As long as Fu Yue gives an order, He Yan's head will be moved.

The Uchiha is not a good person, especially for a treacherous guy like Kahiko, and he will not show mercy to his subordinates.

“……”

He Yan was covered in cold sweat, his legs kept shaking, and his heart was terrified to the extreme.

So far.

Perhaps there was only one way to save him and the caravan's lives.

Thinking of this, He Yan swallowed his saliva and hurriedly said to Fu Yue:

"Lord Fugaku, I know where the Stone of Grell is, and I am willing to give it to the Uchiha and beg for your forgiveness......"

Is the Stone of Grell the thing that makes the Konoha Shadows and those knights compete for it?

Fu Yue looked at the broken on the side and asked for his brother-in-law's opinion with his eyes.

Broken nodded.

Fu Yue understood, and turned his head to look at He Yan again:

"In that case, then exchange the Stone of Grell you said for the lives of you and the wandering people."

More than ten minutes later.

More than a dozen kilometers away from the woods just now, there is a beautiful valley that is inaccessible to people.

The valley is full of vegetation, birds and flowers, and a small stream flows through it, which looks quiet and serene.

But this silence was soon broken by a loud noise coming from underground.

Thundered.

As the ground shook violently, the valley was filled with birds. Immediately after, a massive steel fortress emerged from the ground.

Several figures stepped out of the fortress.

"Squeak."

As soon as the ferret Nilugu landed, he became very excited, lay on the ground and sniffed, and then ran all the way to the depths of the valley.

"Just follow it and you'll find the location of the Grell Stone."

Kahiko explained to the Uchiha crowd with a flattering smile.

No wonder he cherished this ferret so much, it turned out that it was the truth.

Soon.

The crowd followed Nelugu to an unremarkable meadow, and saw that it kept circling in circles, jumping and jumping, and looked very anxious.

Iron Fire stepped forward, picked up Nilugu, sealed it with one hand, and spewed hot flames from his mouth.

Really.

After burning the grass, an intricate pattern appeared under the turf, flowing with a faint light, as if it was some kind of sealing technique.

Here it is.

According to He Yan, under this seal, buried is the Grell Stone vein left over from the ancient empire.

With the protection of the sealing formation, the energy of the ore vein was not leaked, and it was buried here unharmed for hundreds of years, and no one found it.

Broken stepped forward.

The main function of this seal is to conceal the aura of the Grell Stone, and its defensive strength is not high, as long as it is successfully found, it is not difficult to crack.

So, he raised a fist and smashed it to the ground.

There was a loud bang.

The seemingly ordinary punch shook the entire valley, and the ground under his feet instantly sunken, and a huge pit appeared.

Sou.

Breaking into the pit, he looked up and saw a sea of blue light.

It was a piece of sky-blue crystal ore that was embedded in the surrounding walls, emitting a faint glow.

Duan stretched out his hand to take down a piece of ore, and immediately felt a familiar energy coming from the palm of his hand, making his whole person warm and full of strength.

That's right, it's natural energy.

The people of the previous knights used the Grell Stone to transform into werewolves, bats, apes and other forms, greatly enhancing their abilities.

Similar to the Immortal Mode, it can be regarded as an application of natural energy.

"Broken."

At this time, Fuyue, Tiehuo, Itachi and others also entered the underground one after another, looking at the ore on the wall in amazement.

After a rough calculation.

The amount of Grell Stone stored here is much more than Broken imagined, and the energy contained is very huge. When used properly, it is enough to rebuild a rich and powerful country.

So much ore, in addition to being used to cultivate immortal arts, as well as to arm the Uchiha clan, the rest can also be used as an energy source for the steel fortress.

This trip has been very fruitful.

Soon, the entire underground vein was moved into the steel fortress by the Uchiha clan, and not a single ore was dropped.

"I'll go back first."

After taking a portion of the Grell Stone, he unleashed his power again and teleported himself into the power space.

Then.

"Meow."

A ninja cat appears and sends information to Itachi.

When the weasel received the information, he stuffed two bills into the cat's paw as its errand fee. The ninja licked its paws and left satisfied.

"Father."

Itachi walked over and reported to Tomiyaku, "Kakashi said, they've followed Otokinokuni and found the location of Otoshinobi Village. ”

When Fu Yue heard this, his eyes froze, and he quickly decided on the next plan of action.

"Check it out."

At his command, the entire Uchiha clan entered the steel fortress and used the Stone of Grell as a power source to drive it.

Bang.

Like a giant pangolin, the fortress plunged headlong into the ground and quickly fled into the distance.

Leaving only Heyan and Nilugu, whose memories had been erased, stood in the valley in a daze.

……

The Land of Fields is a small country to the north of the Land of Former Fire.

In this fourth ninja world war that swept the entire ninja world, the reason why Tian Zhiguo was able to stand alone and not be swallowed up by other great powers relied on one word:

Poor.

To put it simply, it's a place where birds don't poop.

After the partition of the Fire Country, the major powers were full, so naturally they lost interest in a broken place like the Land of Fields.

After all, for a big country, annexing the country of Tian is not only not good for itself, but also to feed a group of poor people in the country of Tian is completely a burden on themselves.

Other than that.

After the formation of a new ninja pattern, a new buffer zone between the major powers is also needed.

And the country of Tian is located at the junction of the three kingdoms of earth, wind and thunder, and if a war breaks out in the future, this is the chessboard of the great power game.

Because of poverty, Tanokuni has never had its own ninja village.

Until Orochimaru came here.

He bribed the daimyo of Tanokuni with money, and after obtaining approval, established the village of Otoshinobi in the country.

It's different from other ninja villages.

Otoshinobu Village is not employed by the daimyo of Tanokuni, and it is not even a village in the actual sense of the word, but consists of several underground bases.

These bases, distributed in various parts of the country of Tano, from the forest to the deep mountains, to the sea, can be regarded as the three caves of the cunning rabbit.

Orochimaru, hiding in one of the bases.

It's here.

After leaving the Sand Hidden Village, after a long journey, he finally returned to the Otoshinobi Village.

Deep in the woods, there is a building below the ground, with the symbol of a snake painted on the doorway, which, at first glance, looks like an inconspicuous cave.

Dou walked in.

Although the entrance to the building is small, when you enter it, you will find a huge labyrinth built underground, with all kinds of living facilities.

There is no such thing as a cave.

This is Orochimaru's lair, and no one knows where it is. Dou, as Orochimaru's henchman, was the first to be invited and qualified to enter this place.

Da-da-da-da.

Walking down the dark corridors, each flanked by a row of cells.

Behind the cold iron bars was a prisoner, some covered in wounds and wailing, some with sallow faces and numb eyes, and some with a gossamer and dying.

These prisoners are all ninjas captured by Orochimaru from all over the place.

He imprisoned them in prison and used this group of people as experimental materials for the development of new techniques, and conducted a large number of human experiments, which was even more cruel and ruthless than the second Hokage back then.

Suddenly.

One of the prisoners rushed to the cell with an arrow, stretched out his hand, and pleaded to Dou, "Please, save me......"

Dou stopped, pushed his glasses up with his hand, and smiled at the other person.

"It's your greatest honor to be the experimental material of Lord Orochimaru, I don't know how many people envy you."

After saying this, he walked away under the stunned gaze of the prisoner.

Crunch.

Pushing open a door, he entered a large, tall room.

Inside, there are all kinds of experimental instruments, scrolls and materials, computers and display screens in an orderly manner, and it is a fairly high-end laboratory.

Under the bright light, Orochimaru was standing in front of a microscope, intently observing the cells and tissues inside the petri dish.

Dou walked over to Orochimaru's side and did not interrupt the latter, but remained silent and waited patiently.

One stop is more than ten minutes.

It wasn't until Orochimaru finished this observation that Dou shouted respectfully: "Orochimaru-sama." ”

"Oh, yes, you're back. I thought you died in the sand. ”

Orochimaru smiled slightly and teased.

"It seems that the adults also know about the Uchiha clan's attack on the Sand Hidden Village. His subordinates did encounter some dangers, but fortunately, they were able to escape. ”

As he spoke, his face couldn't help but show a hint of fear.

"Tell me more about what's going on."

Orochimaru washed his hands, sat down in a chair, and gracefully crossed Jiro's legs.

"Yes." He replied and reported in detail what he had seen on the night Uchiha attacked Shagakure.

Orochimaru licked his lips as he listened, his eyes flashed, and a thick greed surged in the depths of his eyes.

He once fell for the Uchiha's illusion "Farewell Tenjin Radiance", and was almost killed in seconds, and he knows the horror of the kaleidoscope writing wheel.

Now.

Seeing the Uchiha clan fighting against the five major ninja villages with the strength of a hundred people, stirring up the ninja world. The strength of this clan made Orochimaru have a strong desire -

He wants to capture an Uchiha powerhouse with a kaleidoscope chakra eye as a container for his next reincarnation, and then seize all of the opponent's abilities through the forbidden technique of immortal reincarnation.

But Orochimaru also knew that with his current strength, he was far from being able to compete with the Uchiha clan.

He was hit by the illusion of stopping water, and his soul level has not recovered so far, and he is still in a relatively weak state.

As for the Otoshinobi Village under his hands, since the village had just been established, there was only a group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, and letting them fight against the Uchiha was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

So.

In order to achieve his goal, Orochimaru decided to resort to the power of another forbidden art.

Reincarnation of the Dirt.

This technique has been studied by Orochimaru for a long time, but it has not been until recently that a breakthrough has been made.

Come to think of it.

"Come with me and show you something."

Orochimaru stood up, said something mysteriously, and then turned and walked into the depths of the laboratory.

The two came to a new room.

A row of candles was lit in the room, and the dim light of the candles flickered, reflecting the technique carved on the floor.

The technique is very complicated, and the pocket can only be recognized, and the words "filth" and "soil" are written on it.

"Let go of me!"

At this time, a strong prisoner, escorted by two otoshinobi, entered the room with a lot of flowers.

Bang.

He was pushed to the ground, just in the middle of the technique.

"You, what are you going to do?"

The prisoner had a premonition that something was wrong, and looked at Orochimaru with a look of horror, struggling to get to his feet.

Orochimaru sneered silently, raised his hands, and quickly completed the seal, and slapped the last palm to the ground.

Airplanes.

With Orochimaru's chakra injection technique, the filthy earth was reincarnated and activated.

Countless dust rose from the ground, like a rice dumpling, covering the prisoner and causing him to let out a scream.

But soon, his screams subsided, and the whole person was wrapped in dust, and he transformed into a new appearance.

It was a handsome young man in his early sixties with short red hair.

Although the whites of his eyes were black, and his face had porcelain-like cracks, he looked a little different from ordinary people, but the pocket next to Orochimaru still recognized the identity of the red-haired boy at a glance.

"Scorpion!"

Dou was taken aback and blurted out.

That's right, the handsome young man in front of him is Orochimaru's former partner when he was at work in Xiao-

The Scorpion of the Red Sand.
