Chapter 496: The victim of the alliance, Kirigakure goes to war

"Sagakure?"

"You actually want to form an alliance with Kirigakure to fight Konoha together?"

"The person who can come up with this strategy is really a genius~"

In the dark cave somewhere in the Ninja World.

Uchiha Madara couldn't help laughing wildly after listening to the information given by White Zetsu.

The oppressive laughter kept reverberating in the depths of the cave, as if it was carrying some special magic, engulfing the endless darkness.

"Madara-sama~Do you need me to ask the Third Mizukage to reject this?"

Looking up at Uchiha Madara, White Zetsu asked more carefully.

Humans often say that when a person is about to die, his words are also good.

But the person in front of him is getting closer and closer to death, but he is becoming more and more terrifying...his words and actions are becoming more and more unpredictable.

"Reject?"

"Why should I reject?"

"If we can take the opportunity to destroy Konoha and make the ninja world more chaotic, wouldn't that be a good thing?"

"Tell the third generation Mizukage to agree to the request of the Sand Village and send the most elite troops to capture the eastern border of the Land of Fire in the shortest possible time..."

The moment Madara's voice fell, the direction of the Third Ninja World War was destined to soar to a more tragic level.

The resolute attitude of the third generation Mizukage won the support of more than 70% of the ninja clans and high-level officials in the entire Kirigakure Village.

Even the master, facing the power displayed by the third generation Mizukage, fell into silence.

"Tell your Kazekage that the Kirigakure Village has agreed to the alliance..."

"However, there is a condition."

"We want Ye Cang...If you want to form an alliance, bring Ye Cang's body to me."

...

"Ye Cang?"

The Sand Village Camp.

Listening to the report of the Sand Ninja who was sent to the Kirigakure Village..., Luo Sha's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy.

Although Ye Cang is a sentimental person... He often disregards the ninja code for his companions, and after he took office, he repeatedly rebelled against his decisions in front of the senior management.

However... neither he nor many senior management of Sand Village can ignore one thing.

That is, Ye Cang is the most promising genius in Sand Village after him to enter the Kage level.

"I understand~"

"There is no need to tell the two elders Chiyo and Ebizo about this matter."

"Keep this matter to yourself, and I will deal with the alliance with Kirigakure."

...

At the end of November in the 48th year of Konoha.

Under the gaze of countless shocked people in the ninja world, Kirigakure launched a large-scale invasion. In just a few days, it completely wiped out the eastern defense forces of Konoha, crossed the coastal defense line, and appeared in the eastern hinterland of the Land of Fire.

"The Hidden Mist Village?"

"Why would the Hidden Mist Village take action at this time?"

"What on earth does the Third Mizukage want to do?"

In the Hokage's office, amid the heavy gazes of the senior officials, as well as many ninja clan leaders and elders, Sarutobi Hiruzen's roar continued to echo inside the room.

Sand Village, Rock Village, Cloud Village... The Hidden Mist Village!

Now, the threat faced by Konoha is far more dangerous than any period since the establishment of Konoha.

It is truly on the verge of life and death, and the destruction of the village.

"Huruzen~Calm down."

"Don't forget, you are the Hokage!"

"Right now, the most important thing for us is to organize a group of elite troops as soon as possible and rush to the front line."

"Intercept the main force of the Hidden Mist Village along the coast to prevent the situation in the Land of Fire from further deteriorating."

...

At the reminder of Utatane Koharu, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and forced himself to sit down.

However, the restlessness in his heart was obviously not something that could be calmed down in a short time.

"Hyuga clan leader, Uchiha clan leader... it's time to contribute your strength."

"At present, only the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan can restrain the Mist Hidden Art of the Mist Hidden Village, and only the Fire Escape of the Uchiha clan can suppress the Mist Hidden Ninja who is good at Water Escape..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not give the Hyuga and Uchiha room for bargaining.

He directly and forcefully issued his appointment. In addition to gathering a large number of ninja clans' combat power, in order to stabilize the internal ninja clans and factions, Sarutobi Hiruzen also pulled out the Hyuga clan... the elder of the main family who was almost half a foot in the coffin from the previous generation, and temporarily served as the commander of the eastern front.

However, even so, Sarutobi Hiruzen still had no idea.

Because, neither he nor the Anbu... knew how much foundation the Mist Hidden Village... had accumulated during the period since the Uzumaki clan destroyed the country and the clan? How many jonins were trained? How many elite jonins? How many quasi-kage~kage-level strongmen?

If there is a Kage-level strongman... or even the Third Mizukage himself appears on the battlefield?

Then, how should Konoha deal with it now?

"Koharu, it's time to call Danzo back~ Let Hanzo handle the affairs of the Hidden Rain Village for the time being." M..

"After this period of time, we can discuss the details of helping the Hidden Rain Village to quell the rebellion.. "

Looking at the people leaving, Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a long time, then turned his head to look at Utatane Koharu.

"Huruzen, just like this... can't reverse the current situation at all."

"If you want to break the situation... you must kick one of the four major ninja villages out as soon as possible. Only in this way... can we recover enough combat power~"

Although Danzo and Gengen are also a strong force.

But... Utatane Koharu is not optimistic about standing in the war between the five major ninja villages.

Also, Danzo is a Kage-level strongman, but he is a Kage-level without any blood boundary or special physique. A Kage-level who can only use wind escape and summoned beasts...

In front of the Kage-level Jinchuriki of the five major countries or the Kage of the five major ninja villages... it's really not enough.

"I know~"

"But, at the moment... I haven't come up with a good solution. For the time being... let's just leave it like this."

"After the counterattack in the eastern region is completely launched, make the next judgment. "If... it really comes to the last step, then I will have to fight in person." ... "The Hidden Mist Village actually moved?" In the northeastern region of the Land of Fire, when Ai and a group of high-ranking officials of the Hidden Cloud Village learned about the changes in the eastern part of the Land of Fire. The frequency of the attacks became more and more frequent... Main force decisive battles, harassment battles, surprise attacks... Various tactics emerged one after another, and continued to be played back and forth on the narrow battlefield constructed by the Hidden Cloud and Konoha. It brought heavy pressure to Minato Namikaze and the Konoha ninjas on the front line. "Bunta~ Please, help me block the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, I will end the battle with Ai as soon as possible. "

The moment the summoning technique was activated, Gamabunta appeared on the battlefield again.

However... compared to before, Gamabunta's condition at this time was not good.

In addition to his tired eyes, his body was covered with countless scars and burns.

These scars, in addition to those left by Killer Bee in his tailed beast form, also left some scars in the battle with the four Jinchūriki, Lao Zi, after Jiraiya summoned them to the northwest battlefield.

"Hu~ Minato, I will do my best~"

"But next time... don't summon me again, I need to rest~"

"For such a high-end game with the tailed beast, you should find the two sages, Fukasaku and Shima..."
